With the temperature rising in the room Maura pulled away from Justin and led him into the bedroom. They made their way the bed and continued to kiss on the bed Maura pulled away again. "Justin?" She said while trying to catch her breathe.

"Yeh?"

"Do you think we should be rushing it like this?"

"Are you saying you don't want to? Cause if you don't you know. . ."

"Well I am not saying I don't want to, just I don't want to rush into it so fast."

"Your right." Justin them got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to splash some cold water onto his face. When he got back into the room Maura was already under the covers. He got over to the other side of the bed and got in. He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Maura said with her eyes already closed.

*****

The next morning everyone got to sleep in. JC, Lance, Joey, Justin, and Maura were up about 11am or noon. Cassie and Jennifer were up by 11am. Abby and Chris slept in late till about 12:30pm.

At 12:45pm Abby and Chris made their way into the room where everyone else was, and everyone just looked at the couple who were smiling.

"Well, well, well. . . looks who's awake." JC commented.

"So did you two have a good night?" Lance asked.

"Yeh. . ." Abby said looking confused, "why you saying it like that?"

"Oh come on, we know what you two did last night!" Joey said.

"Did what?" Chris said all innocently.

"Oh you know what you did." Lance answered.

"We didn't do anything." Abby denied.

"Whatever, Abby." Cassie started, "everyone on this floor know what you did last night!"

"We were not that loud!" Abby said.

"Not that loud?" Joey said, "Please you woke JC up, and you know nothing can wake him up!"

"Come on, you exaggerating." Chris said defending himself.

"Okay, okay, lets just drop this. Abs I need to talk to ya." Maura said.

"Alright, lets go the restaurant downstairs, I’m hungry." Abby said and turned to go back to the door. "We’ll be back in a while." The door closed and both girls were gone.

Everyone sat around watching tv, and trying to figure out plans for the day.

"I don't know about all of ya, but I am going to go shopping, anyone want to join?" Joey asked looking around the room.

"I will, I haven't gone on a good shopping spree in awhile." JC said.

"How about you Jennifer, you want to come shopping with us?" Joey suggested.

"Um, sure. That sounds like some fun." Jennifer said.

"Alright, what about the rest of you, anyone want to join?" Joey asked again.

"I think Abby and I will go ourselves." Chris said.

"Justin?" Joey asked looking at his friend who seemed to be daydreaming about something.

"Huh, oh, sorry. Um I think I am going to wait for Mar and see what she wants to do." Justin said coming outta his trance.

"Okay, what about you two, Lance and Cassie?" Joey questioned.

"I don't know, I am still kinda tired, so I think I am just going to hang around here for the day." Lance said, and then turned to Cassie, "Want to keep me company or do you want to go out with them?"

"Nah, I am not really in the shopping mood right now." Cassie said while thinking, ‘Hey I get to spend the day with Lance’.

"Why is that?" Joey asked out of curiosity.

"Well school just ended and I am still trying to pay off some bills, plus I don't have a job yet." Cassie explained.

"Alright, so I guess we are all set, we just have to wait for Abs and Mar to get back up here to make sure they want to do what we planned for them." Chris said.

*****

"Okay Mar, what do you need to talk to me about?" Abby ask when they got the elevator.

"Guess what happened last night?" Maura asked being all giddy.

"I really don't have a clue." Abby said as the door to the elevator opened and they both walked in. They pressed the button for the floor they wanted and the door closed.

"Guess." Maura said again.

"I really don't know, just tell me." Abby said.

"Oh come on, just guess, its more fun this way. Come on guess!" Maura begged her bestfriend.

"NO! Just tell me!!" Abby said loudly. She really didn't like guess games. Well only if she wasent the one guessing.

"Well fine. If you are going to be like that then I just wont tell you!" Maura said with a hurt sound in her voice.

As the door opened both walked out. "Oh please, I know you too well, Mar. You are dying to tell me."

"No I am not." Maura pleaded.

They got a table and both sat. They looked through the menus silently, and then ordered. Then Abby looked at Maura who was biting her lips to keep from speaking. Before Abby could say anything Maura blurted out, "Justin kissed me last night!" Although they had caught the attention from others in the restaurant the ignored them.

"Really?" Abby asked.

"Yes!"

"No I mean, really?"

"Yes I mean really?"

"Seriously?" Abby asked again. Not that she didn't believe but that there were signs but this pretty much came out of nowhere.

"Yes seriously! Don't you believe me?"

"Yes I believe you, but. . . really?"

"YES!!"

Not noticing till now but the girls had not only the attention of the people in the restaurant, but also people in the kitchen, and hotel lobby. There was even a small crowd forming outside the restaurant door to see what all the commotion was about. In the small group were a few noticeable N Sync fans, so the girls decided to keep this conversation a little more quiet this time.

Their food had arrived and both girls kept quiet for a few mins as they ate, and the small group disappeared from the door. As Abby took a bit from her toast she wait and then asked Maura again, "Really?"

"Yes. What you don't think he would do you?" Maura asked.

"No, but. . " Abby cut herself off, "but Justin kisses you all the time."

"Well yeh, he kisses me, but he never KISSES me."

"Really? I mean. . how did this all happen? He didn't just walk up to you and start kissing you. That's just not Justin."

"Oh yeh, I know that. But okay, I was bugging him cause he was hogging all the blankets, and he started to tickle me. Then he ended up on top of me tickling me."

"Yeh, and. . ."

"And then he kinda stopped and then kissed me."

"Just like that?"

"Yeh pretty much."

"That's it?"

"Well no, not really."

"Well then?"

Maura continued, " Well he stopped and took off into the living room area, right. And was apologizing and all for doing that cause we are just friends, blah, blah, blah."

"Okay now that's Justin!"

"Yeh and I am was trying to stop him, you know I was like ‘Justin, Justin, Justin’ but he wouldn't shut up. He just kept apologizing for doing that. So I finally yelled his name and he stopped." Maura stopped there to make sure Abby was following all right.

"What that's it?"

"Well, no."

"Well then?"

"What?"

"Well what did you do?"

"I. . ."

"You what?" Abby was eager to hear and hated to wait.

"I well, kissed him."

"Whoo Hoo!! Go Mar!!" When Abby said that she had gotten the attention back from the on lookers.

After talking about it a bit more while finishing their brunch Maura looked at her watch. "Geez, it is almost two."

Abby then looked at her watch, "Oh man your right, they are probably all waiting for us up in the room so we can make plans for today."

Both girls got up and walked over to pay for their food and quickly headed back up to the room.

*****

Chris looked at his watch and noticed it was almost two. "Man what's taking them so long?"

"Well Mar said she wanted to talk to Abby about something right?" Joey mentioned.

"Yeh, but it shouldn't be taking this long." Chris said.

"But they also went to go get something to eat right?" Lance pointed out. "Obviously they cant do both at the exact same time."

Justin looked at Lance, "You don't visit Chris’ often do you?"

"What do you mean?" Lances asked looking confused now.

"Nothing man." Justin said laughing at Lance.

"Oh okay." And with that Lance shrugged it off.

With that the door opened and both girl burst into the room. "Oh gawd, we are so sorry! We totally lost track of time." Abby apologized for both and walked over to Chris and gave him a quick kiss, then looked at Justin and gave him a look as if she was going to say something to him.

"What's that look for Abby?" Justin asked.

"Oh, you know!" Abby said sounding serious.

"Know what?" Justin asked thinking he was in trouble for something.

"Nothing man, I was just joking with ya." Abby said then laughed. "Alright, so dose anyone know what is going on today?"

"Yeh," Joey said, "We have the whole day planned already."

"Really? The whole day?" Abby asked as she sat on Chris’ lap, and Maura took a seat next to Justin on the couch.

"Yeh, see you and I are going to do something." Chris said.

"And Cassie and I are just going to hang around the hotel for today. Neither of us want to do much today." Lance added.

"And Jennifer, JC and I are gong to go shopping the whole day." Joey said.

"What about Mar and Ju?" Abby said looking in their direction.

"Yeh what about Mar and Ju?" Maura asked looking at Justin.

"Well I was thinking we go shopping too, but nothing like the shopping spree they are going on. Is that okay with you?" Justin asked.

"Oh yeh sure, that's fine with me."

"Okay, so we are set, oh wait, what time are we going to meet back here? Or are we going to meet somewhere for dinner?" Abby asked.

After a few more mins of discussion they settled on Chinese take out at 7:30 at the hotel. everyone got up and headed to their rooms to get what they needed and to call cabs, leaving Lance and Cassie sitting in the living area watching tv and taking about whatever.
