Mandy was outside gathering fire wood, she figured with all that had taken place, maybe they could have a fire tonight and just spend some time outside enjoying each other company for once.  It wasn’t until she went back inside that things seemed too quiet.  She found Brandi still in the basement with Chris and the others.

            “Where is Justin?” Mandy asked.

            “He wasn’t upstairs?” Brandi questioned, a million things running through her mind.  Mandy just shook her head no.  “We heard screaming awhile back; maybe Katy really did kill him.  Did you check the back yard that is probably where she would bury the body?” Brandi joked.

              “I was in the backyard, they weren’t out there.  You don’t think they ran off do you?” Mandy asked.

            “Together?  No, but I think Katy was up all night she may be taking a nap.  Justin might have gone for a walk or to find JC.  I mean I really don’t know.  Not my day to watch him.” Brandi explained.

            “But I take it you’re the one that unchained him.  So that kind of makes it your responsibility.” Mandy said.  Brandi just shrugged, it wasn’t like Justin could do anything that JC hadn’t already done and if he was really gone then Lance just made $200 bucks.  Brandi slowly got up off Chris’s lap; he had fallen asleep so she was trying not to wake him.  He stirred a little feeling the cold air hit him but she toss a blanket over him and he settled back down.

            He looked so sweet when he was sleeping.  Brandi could totally wake up next to him on a daily basis if fate would let her.  She didn’t want to leave him but Mandy was kind of right, she had let Justin go and probably should go look for him.  Heaven forbid the pop star get lost in the woods and break the hearts of millions.

            “I’ll go find Katy.  I need to talk to her any way.  And while I am up I look for Justin as well.” Brandi explained and headed upstairs.  She had a pretty good idea where Katy was.  She headed up to their bed room without giving the miss boy band member a second thought until she opened their bedroom door.

            What she saw was one of the last things she ever expected.  There was Justin in Katy’s bed with her.  At first she thought the worst but a second glace revealed that they were both still fully clothed.  Justin’s eyes were fixed on the sleeping girl beside him; they were both on their sides, her back pressed up against his chest as he held her close.  He didn’t want to let her go and she seemed to be attracted to his body heat.

            Brandi wasn’t sure what to say, Justin clearly wasn’t asleep and it was only a matter of time before he realized that she was standing there staring at them.  It wasn’t something Brandi thought she would never see.  Someone had finally fallen for Katy and it was some one that Katy actually deserved.  Justin wasn’t a jerk or a work in progress or any of the other hopeless cases than had fallen for and failed miserably to control the energetic young woman.  Justin soothed her and calmed her even now that she was a sleep she wasn’t tossing and turning like she usually did, she was relaxed.

            “Now that takes talent.” Brandi finally whispered, catching Justin’s attention.  Justin looked up at her a little unsure as to what she was talking about.  “You have a way with her.” Brandi added.  Justin brushed a stay curl away from Katy’s face and just smiled.  All the thoughts he had earlier of doing very bad things to her were replaced with a fiery passion, a true romance.

“I think she has a way with me.  I’ve never felt like this before and it scares the crap out of me.” Justin admitted.  He wasn’t sure why but he felt like he could share anything with Brandi and know that she would keep it in confidence. 

“It’s okay to be scared; if you weren’t then I would be worried and then I might have to kick your ass.  Katy may lead you believe that she doesn’t get scared or hurt, but she does and if you hurt her, I promise you this… they’ll never find your body.” Brandi joked but there was some seriousness to what she was saying.  Would she kill him? No.  But she might be tempted to remove his favorite appendage. 

“I take if you didn’t come up here looking for me?” Justin asked.

“That would be correct, but I hate to wake her.  She was out all night looking for JC.  Plus the two of you actually look pretty good together.” Brandi commented.  Justin blushed a little.  He kind of thought that they made a pretty good pair as well.

“Can I keep her?” Justin whispered then lightly kissed her cheek.

“Hell, I think you are the only one that wants her.  Why is that?  I mean you are Justin Timberlake.  You can have any girl that you want and as her friend, I can tell you that she is more than a little broken.” Brandi joked.  She knew Katy better than probably any one so she when she said something about her it was the truth

"She isn’t broken.  She’s special.” Justin corrected.  He wasn’t sure there was anything about her that he would change.  Well maybe the flirting thing, but sometimes her cluelessness was kind of cute.  “You want me to wake her for you?” Justin asked.

“Knock yourself out.  Last time I tried to wake her up she kicked me.  She has some pretty messed up dreams.   Just tell her that I want to talk to her when she becomes a little more coherent.” Brandi said and then stepped out of the room.  She wanted to give them their space and she knew for a fact that you couldn’t talk to Katy right after she wakes up; it’s like talking to a zombie. 

Justin kissed her on the forehead and pulled her close to him.  He whispered something sweet into her ear and she smiled.  The sound of his voice was like music to her but it wasn’t very affective in waking her up.  He shook her lightly and called her name.  She finally turned over in his arm to face him.

“Why aren’t you naked?” Katy finally asked softly, somewhat coming back to earth, her face dangerously close to his.  Katy saw him flash that sexy smile of his and she felt her heart flutter.  Without missing a beat he pulled her in for a kiss.  She tugged and the hem of his shirt but he stopped her.

“Brandi is waiting outside; she wants to talk to you.”  Justin explained, after all it wasn’t that he didn’t want to do anything with her, but with her friend so close and waiting on them it was a little awkward.  Katy whimpered and pouted at him, she knew Brandi would understand if they needed a minute.  “You can come back to L.A. with me and we can spend days in bed together.” He offered running his hand along the side of her face.  After all at least at his place they would have an actual bed and no one around to bother them.

“Hum… I’ll have to think about that.  I am not exactly domesticated.” Katy moaned.  It made him smile as he rested his forehead against hers, he just wanted to get inside her mind and see what she was really thinking.  If she was just teasing him then it was cruel.  He knew she wasn’t domesticated and probably couldn’t be tamed.  She snuggled in closer to him and she could feel him start to stiffen from her body heat.  Katy wrapped her arms around him and got as close as she could.  “You are warm, I don’t wanna get up.”

Justin sighed and kissed her again on the forehead, he didn’t want to get up either but he knew they had to soon or he wasn’t going to be able to help what happened next.  She pulled him in for a kiss and growled playfully at him.

“I don’t want this to be the only thing we do together.” He said kissing her back passionately he started to crawl on top of her when he realized that Brandi was still waiting on them.  “Wait, Brandi is outside waiting on us to get up.” Justin said trying to pull away from her, but Katy clung to him.  She stroked him a few time through his jeans causing him to groan.  It was clear that he was trying to be a good boy but failing horribly no thanks to Katy.  “You are a bad influence on me.” He whined.

“Hey Brandi, give us like 15 minutes.” Katy yelled.  Brandi rolled her eyes, but she didn’t blame her Justin had the body of a Greek god and who knows when and if they will have another chance to be together.

“Fine, take your time.  I’ll be down stairs.  But you better stay on your bed.” Brandi said and then walked off, it wasn’t like she wanted to stay and listen to whatever they were doing.  Brandi had no more than cleared the steps when Mandy appeared out of nowhere.

“Did you find her?” Mandy asked.  Brandi thought about her answer.  It was unclear how Mandy would handle the truth and it really wasn’t her place to gossip.  She truthfully didn’t know what exactly was going on upstairs and honestly didn’t care.

“Yeah, I was right she was taking a nap.  I woke her up but you know how Katy is it takes her a minute to get really awake.” Brandi explained.“And Justin?” Mandy questioned.

“Oh, I forgot he asked me earlier if he could take a nap on my bed.  You know how tight the sleeping arrangements are down stairs and Justin is a big boy, he needs to spread out I guess.” Brandi lied, but it sounded pretty good.  Mandy looked at her as if she didn’t really believe that but she went along with it for now.  She really didn’t want to know what Katy was up to half the time.

“Hey I was thinking that we could have a fire tonight and get all the guys out.  I mean it doesn’t really matter anymore if they run off, right?  I gathered up some wood and everything.” Mandy beamed. 

“That sounds great; I’ll let the others know.  I think we have some hot dogs too.  Maybe you can find us some roasting sticks?” Brandi asked and then sent Mandy back outside.  Heaven forbid she go looking for Katy right now.  Brandi headed back down stairs, to tell the guys and to kind of let Chris know that he might have lost his money provided Justin actually remembers that they even had a bet.
