*~NEXT WEEK~*

“Blow out the candles.”

“Justin…he’s only 2. He can’t blow out a candle yet.” Christina smirked.

“Be quiet, hun.” Justin joked.

“Why don’t you blow it out.  You’re good at that.” Christina heard all of the giggles in the background. Justin rolled his eyes and smiled.

“Okay.” Justin blew out the 2 candles, and everyone clapped. “Now let’s eat.”

“Greedy pig.” Christina whispered in his ear.

“You’ll see how greedy I am tonight.” She smiled and walked up to Ashley.

“Hey sis.”

“What’s up? You know Britney stopped by earlier today and said she was busy so she wouldn’t be able to come, but she gave me his present. It’s right where the other presents are.” Christina looked at the pile of presents by the couch.

“Okay, thanks” she walked up to Justin. “J…” he looked at her.

“Yeah, what’s up?” he wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Do you know why Britney didn’t come to the party? She said she wouldn’t miss it for nothing.”

“And you believed that line? She always lie”

“But…”

“Don’t listen to the silicon lier again. So when are we going to open Justin’s presents?”

“When everyone leaves.”

“Okay. Well excuse me honey…I have to get back to my conversation here.”

“Okay, later.” She walked up to the mic. “Could I get everyone’s attention, please.” Everyone looked at her. “Thank you.” She paused. “I would like to sing a song with my wonderful sister. Ashley would you come up here please?”

Ashley smiled and walked up to the mic. “What are you doing?” she whispered.

“Jus sing with me.” Christina whispered. “Okay…we’re going to sing…my favorite…Genie in a bottle. Yeah I know it’s old, but it doesn’t matter right now. So…d.j. play that song for me.” The d.j. cut the music on and Christina started moving. She winked at Justin who was smiling proudly.

Ashley moved along also, as Christina song. “I feel like I’ve been locked up tight on a century of lonely nights. Waiting for someone…to release me. You’re licking your lips and blowing kisses my way but that don’t mean I’m gonna give it away. Baby baby baby.”

“Baby baby baby.” Ashley song.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh. My body’s saying let’s go.”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh. But my heart is saying no. No.”

“If you wanna be with me. Baby there’s a price to pay. I’m a genie In a bottle…” Christina song over Ashley’s voice. She started to get jealous.

“…so come and set me free, baby. and I’ll be with you.”

“I’m a genie in a bottle baby. Gotta rub me the right way honey. I’m a genie in a bottle baby. Come come come on and let me out” Christina song louder. Ashley rolled her eyes and ran out of the living room. “Ashley…where are you going?” she ignored her.

Christina looked at everyone and suddenly ran out of the living room. “Shit.” Justin mumbled as he ran after her.
