A week later (The Awards Show)

“And NOW…NSYNC!” a lady announced. The lights slowly dimmed and music began to play.

“Would you be my girlfriend?” Justin song. “Would you be my girlfriend? I don’t know why you care. He doesn’t even know you’re there. No no. Cause he don’t love your eyes, and he don’t love your smile. Girl you know that ain’t fare.” He winked at Alexia and danced his way towards Tiffani.

“The middle of the night. Is he gonna be by your side?” all the guys song. “Or will he run and hide?”

“You don’t know cause things ain’t clear.” Justin song, dancing up closely in front of Tiffani.

“And baby when you cry. Is he gonna stand by your side? Does the man even know you’re alive?”

“I got an ideaaaaa. LADIES!” all of a sudden, women came running on stage as the music changed. “WOOO HOOOOO!”

“I was just doin’ my thang. Hangin’ out at the spot.” JC song, dancing with a lady. “You  know the place we go. The music sure is hot. And everybody was feelin’ the DJ. Smoke cleared, and I saw this beautiful lady.”

“WOOOO HOOOO!!! YOU GO, BABY!” Jamie rooted for him in row three. Alexia rolled her eyes playfully and looked back at the stage area.

“She took my hand. We never said a word at all. She started grinding. Shorty had me up against the wall. Ask me about tomorrow. You know that I don’t care at all. I just got caught up, and she had me up against the wall.” Katrina song along. Alexia bit the bottom of her lip as she watched Justin closely.

“I know he’s gonna do SOMETHING out of control.” She spoke.

“You know Justin too well.” Kelsey agreed.

“It’s almost two o’clock. It’s time to make my move. The after hour spot is where I’m going to.” He wrapped his arm around Tiffani’s waist and pulled her closer to him.

“Look at him. Just like I said.” Alexia rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

“Don’t get upset, girl. He’s just doing his job.” Katelyn assured.

“Just remember…how do you think he feels when he sees you posing HALF nude with some men models.” Jamie added in.

“Man. That’s my job.”

“See. So you should understand.” She bit the bottom of her lip as thoughts ran through her head.

“I guess you’re right.” She sighed and held her head down, fiddling with her fingers. “I just don’t wanna lose him over some…bitch like her. She…ugh. I just can’t stand the bitch.”

“Ahaha. Calm down, chica. Everything’s gonna be okay.” Kelsey assured.

Justin squeezed through row three, and took his seat beside Alexia. “Hey.” He kissed her on the cheek. “I got you something.” She gawked to the side to lock eyes with his.

“What is it?”

“Here.” He handed her a snicker bar. “Your fav.” A massive smile formed on her face.

“Aw…thank you. You’re so thoughtful.” She kissed him on the lips. “By the way…you did great. Up there.” Deep down, she wanted to talk about the whole dancing incident, but she figured it wasn’t a big deal.

“Thank you. You know…backstage…before the performance…” he chewed on his snicker bar. “…Tiff tried to come on to me…AFTER she apologized. How stupid is that? I mean…she is seriously ASKING for an ass whoopin’. I KNOW…personally that you will try to jump on her. That’s why you have to promise me you won’t fight her.” She rolled her eyes and looked away.

“I thought we already discussed this. Don’t worry…I won’t touch her…unless it’s self-defense.” He kept his eyes on her.

“You know…you’re looking very beautiful tonight.” She slowly looked up to lock eyes with his.

“Really? Thank you. And you’re lookin’ very handsome tonight. I could eat you.” She whispered, slowly moving in closer to kiss him. The movement of their tongues made the kiss more intense. “Mmm.” She moaned softly between his lips.

“I love you so much, baby girl.” He breathed between her lips, placing his hand on her cheek.

“I love you too.” She slowly broke away, and gazed deeply in his eyes. “Um…” she chuckled, blushing massively. “Oh god.” She fanned herself. “Whew. It’s getting hot in here.”

“So take off all your clothes.” Justin song. She caught on to what he was doing, and song along.

“I am getting so hot…I wanna take my clothes off.” He chuckled, and pecked her on the lips.

“You’re so beautiful. Ahaha.”

An half hour later

And the award for best pop song of the year GOES OUT TO…NSYNC WITH “UP AGAINST THE WALL!”

“WOOO HOOOO! YEAH!” Joey rooted loudly as he hopped out of his seat.

“Congratulations, baby.” Alexia met lips with Justin’s. “Go up there and get your award.” He smiled massively and followed the guys down the red carpet and up on stage.

“See…this is what I’m talking about.” JC spoke, examining the award.

“Damn guys. You did it AGAIN!” Justin added in, standing beside JC. “You voted for us again. Um…let me start off my saying…this means SO much to us…as a group. We’ve worked so hard on the video…shooting DAY and night. I can only remember getting at least four hours of sleep out of the whole two days. Haha. Darren…he’s the best. I wanna thank him for the fresh ass moves. Um…the director, you’re the best. And…last but not least…THE FANS! THANK YOU ALL FOR VOTING FOR US! THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO US! When you have millions of supportive fans out there…helping support you…it’s like…there’s no one else in the world who you can count on.” He slowly locked eyes with Alexia. “The only person you find yourself looking up to is…your fiancé. Alexia…you’ve been there…through the thick and thin. I always knew I can count on you and I just wanna say…thank you. Thank you for loving me. I know I can trust you.” Her eyes slowly filled up with solution. “I’m looking forward to marrying you…having kids with you and…SPENDING the rest of my LIFE with you. I love you more than life itself.” He blew a kiss at her. She cried joyful tears.

“God.” She sniffled, and wiped underneath her diluted eyes.

“Hey…you okay?” Katrina spoke up, rubbing her back soothingly.

“Um…yeah.” She sniffled. “I’m fine.”

“Here.” Kelsey handed her a tissue.

“Thank you.” She wiped underneath her eyes with the soft fabric as she kept her eyes on the individual who stood on stage with the other guys. “I hate when he does stuff like this. Now you know why I can NEVER stay mad at his ass. He’s just too romantic.” She chuckled pathetically.

alexia entered the restroom, and stood in front of the mirror, checking out her face. “Damn. I need lip gloss.” She rummaged through her purse for the specific item.

A squeaky sound startled her. She hastily looked up to see a brunette woman enter the restroom. She locked eyes with hers and smiled. “Hello. I’m Jenna. And you’re the famous model…Alexia Elizabeth…Timberlake.” she smiled slyly.

“Hey.” She grabbed her lip-gloss and removed the top.

“I’m finally getting to meet you in real life. So cool.” She smeared the lip gloss on her lips and pressed them together, moisturizing them with the cherry flavored gloss.

“Who are you? I mean…what do you do?”

“Well…I’m a professional dancer. I’ve danced for Janet Jackson on the “All for you” tour. You probably recognized me now.”

“Um…actually…I don’t. Sorry.”

“Oh…well…I just got off tour with Nsync.” She froze, slowly locking eyes with hers.

“So you’re the Jenna Justin’s been telling me about?” she sat her lip-gloss in her purse.

“Oh…so he’s been telling you about me? How cool. I must interest him.”

“He wasn’t talking about good things. He was telling me things like…you were harassing him. You and this other back up dancer name Tiffani. I met her at the rehearsals a few months ago…before the tour even began. She SEEMED pretty nice.”

“Oh…hmm. So…” she bit the bottom of her lip and looked away.

“I gotta go now. Justin’s waiting for me.” She paused. “It was nice meeting you, though. Keep doing the thing you’re good at.”

“What? Dancing?” she held a confused look.

“No. Harassing men that’s not yours.” She spat out. “See ya’ soon.” She stared in complete shock as she watched her leave the restroom.

After party (10:45 p.m. – CLUB VEGA!)

Call me
baby
call me

Tweet’s, “Call me” played through the speakers in Club Vega where they held the after party. All of the celebrities were there. You name it. Even the legendary, Michael Jackson. “MJ. Wut up, man? It’s been a long time.” Justin greeted as he held Alexia’s hand.

“Yeah. Since the Icon thing they had for me. How you been?” he smiled.

“I’ve been great. Me and my fiancé are doing fabulous. We’re expecting a baby, and all.” He spoke proudly. “And we’re getting married sometime next year.”

“Cool. That’s wonderful. I wish you both good luck.” He locked eyes with Alexia who seemed speechless at the time. “Your fiancé doesn’t talk much, does she?”

“Are you kiddin’ me? This girl has a motor mouth. She just would not shut up sometimes. I actually have to MAKE her. Ahaha.” He glanced at Alexia who kept her eyes on Michael. “Are you okay, baby?”

“Uh…um…I think.” She stammered, in a shock state of mind at the time.

“Well…we’re gonna go chill with the other guys. It was nice talking with ya’ dude.” He embraced him in a hug.

“You too, Jay.” He pulled back to stare in his eyes. “Good luck on the solo album.”

“Oh…yeah. Thanks.” He glanced at Alexia as he led her further in the club. “What’s wrong with you? You seem…shooken up.”

“Did…did you see…his face? It…it looked…fake like a…plastic mask or something. I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s so weird.” He chuckled.

“Don’t worry…you’ll get use to it. I had to at first. I know…he doesn’t look like the old Michael anymore.” they made it to the table where all four of the guys and their women were. “Hey.” He took a seat and pulled Alexia on his lap. “Having fun so far?” He whispered in her ear. “This is the type of things we do after the awards show.” He paused. “Wanna dance?”

“Sure.” She stood up and followed him out on the dance floor.

“Don’t that guy get enough of dancing for one night?” Joey complained.

“Yeah. I know. After that performance…I felt like retiring.” Chris agreed.

“Of coarse. You’re too old any way. You should have been retired.” Lance blurted out.

“Shut up, dude. No one asked for YOUR opinion.” He shot back.

“Whatever.”

Justin gazed deeply in Alexia’s eyes as they slowly danced to the music. “Why are you so beautiful? Inside and out.” he spoke softly.

“Yeah right.” She rolled her eyes pathetically and held her head down. “Why do you…compliment me so much?” he held an awkward look.

“What do you mean?” she looked up to lock eyes with his. “I thought women like when a guy compliments them.”

“Well…yeah. They do, but…do you have to do it so much? I mean…you buy me things…compliment me…cook for me. You’re just too good to me. I love you and all but…don’t you think you’re going a little too out of control with the whole…buying me crap subject?”

“What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying…I’m buying your love?”

“Well…sometimes it looks like it.” She sighed. “You don’t have to buy me things to make me love you more.”

“Lex…you’re pathetic…seriously. Why would you say something so stupid? I’m buying your love? Yeah right. Don’t you know how many women wish they were in your place night now? Why would I have to buy our love when I could buy a slut to fuck with?” her eyes lit up.

“Excuse me?” she released him and crossed her arms over her chest. “You’re so…cold.” She shook her head pathetically. “You’re dead wrong. I can’t believe you would say something like that.” She burned a hole into him. “I don’t need this shit from you. Fuck you.” She brushed pass him, suddenly feeling a hand grip her arm, holding her back.

“Lex…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way.” She yanked her arm away.

“You never mean shit.” She proceeded towards her destiny.

“Fuck.” He mumbled angrily.

“Mmm.” Jamie desperately unbuttoned JC’s shirt, as she kissed him deeply.

“Wait, wait. Slow down.” She ripped his shirt off, and began kissing down his chest. “Jamie…we can’t do this in a club.”

“Stop resisting it. You know you want it…just as bad as I do.” He gripped her waist and stood up.

“Let’s go to the bathroom.” He assured.

“Even better.” She followed him towards the restrooms.
_________

Justin sat at the bar, and held his head down. The only person he could think of at the moment was Alexia. “Hey, Justin.” He was startled out of the trance. He slowly looked up to lock eyes with Jenna.

“What could you possibly want? Do you ever learn your lesson?” he spoke, irritated.

“Yeah. Sometimes. So…” she released a sigh. “What was that all about? It look like you two were fighting.” He rolled his eyes.

“You have nothing better to do than scope out celebrities?”

“Yeah. I do, but…I get scoped out so I figured…why not scope out too.”

“Um…you’re annoying. You do know that right?” she chuckled.

“Only from you.” He gawked to the side to see Alexia sitting four chairs away from him. “Well what do you know. There goes Misses Timberlake.”

“Shut up.” He stood up and slowly approached her. “Um…ahem.” He cleared his throat. She looked up, locking eyes with his. “Do you mind if I sit here?” he referred to the stool located beside hers.

“Um…sure.” He pulled the stool out and took a seat there. “So…” he focused in on a glass of liquid she held. “What are you drinking?”

“Water.” She sat the glass down and brushed her hair back. “Was there something you wanted?”

“Actually…yeah.” She leisurely met eye contact with him. “I want you.” She bit the bottom of her lip and looked away. “Come on, baby girl. You know I didn’t mean what I said. Shit slip out. We always have to go through this.” He paused. “Can we just…kiss and make up?”

“It’s not that easy.” She spoke without eye contact.

“Is that so. Well…maybe I should get down on my knees and beg for your forgiveness.” He kneeled down on both knees and intertwined his fingers together. “Baby…please, please forgive me for I have sinned. I shouldn’t have made you upset. I’m such a dork.” Her eyes lit up.

“Oh my god. Justin…get up.”

“Not until you forgive me. I want the WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!” he raised his voice. A few people watched him closely.

“Justin…you’re embarrassing me. Please get up.” She begged.

“Do you forgive me?” she sighed and held her head down to preclude from staring in his eyes.

“I…”

“I LOVE YOU…SO MUCH! I WOULD DIE FOR YOU! PLEASE GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE!”

“Okay, okay…I…forgive you. Now please…get up. You’re making a fool out of yourself.”

“I knew you would forgive me.” He stood up, and helped her out of her seat. He slowly attached his arms around her waist and met lips with hers. “I love you.” He spoke softly.

“I love you too.” He gazed deeply in her diluted eyes, slowly meeting lips with hers once again. The crowd exploded with cheers as they watched the two show the world how much they loved each other.
