"I'm ready." Jenn said putting her bag next to the door. Justin and Juliana were in the kitchen with Lance. "Oh hey Lance."
"Hey Jenn. Taking a break from us already, huh?
"No, not you guys. Just work in general." she said with a chuckle.
"I'm glad you are coming, Jenn." Juls said looking up from the papers she was looking over.
"Me too." Jenn said grabbing an apple. "Are we all ready now?"
"Yeah, let's go." Justin spoke for the first time. He got up from the chair and put his now empty bowl in the sink.
"Hey!! Dishwasher bud!" Juls said warningly.
"Oh alright ." Justin whined. Jenn and Lance laughed at him.
Lance drove them to the airport and soon after were on the plane. The flight wasn't long but Jenn managed to take a short nap. Once in New York they went to their hotel. Juliana asked Jenn to join them for dinner that night. She mentioned something about not wanting to be in the line of fire. There was a knock on the door and Jenn went to answer it.
"Hey, what's up Juls?" Jenn said letting Juliana in.
"I came to take you out missy."
"Where's Justin?"
"He went to Jive for a while so it's just us. How does Bloomingdale's sound?"
"Sounds good to me. I wanted to get some new stuff."
"Well let's go then."
The two girls bundled up and went to the elevator. On the way down Jenn and Juliana sang to the jazz music playing. When the elevator came to a stop the girls stepped off. To their surprise Britney was walking towards them with her assistant and Rob.
"Well what are the chances of this ever happening?" Britney said approaching the two women.
"Hey Britney, what are you doing here?"
"I have a taping to do for MTV. Hello Jenn." Britney said cheerfully.
"Hello." Jenn said standing next to Juls.
"Justin and I were invited to dinner by John so that's what we are doing in New York. Jenn here came for the ride."
"John? Really? Justin's grumpy, isn't he?" Britney asked.
"You know him!" Juls said regarding to her boyfriends attitudes.
"So where are you two heading now?"
"Shopping. Wanna come?" Juls asked.
"Yay!! You don't mind do you Jenn?"
"Oh no it will be fun." Jenn said with a smile.
"Hey Felicia, I'm going with the girls. I'll be back later." Britney said to her assistant who was waiting by the elevator.
The three girls walked out into the New York street with Rob close behind. They went to four different stores before they picked anything. Jenn bought six pairs of jeans and was satisfied with her choices. Britney bought a couple of sun dresses she said she would use on her trip to the Bahamas. Juls made the girl go into A/X and got Justin two sweaters. They spent their whole shopping trip joking around and trying on wigs which Jenn found hysterical. All the girls headed back to the hotel after Justin called Juls. Britney went to their room and chatted with them for a while.
An hour later Juliana came out of the steamy bathroom and called John. They agreed to meet at John's place at eight that evening. Justin wore one of the sweaters Juliana bought him with a pair of black slacks. Juliana decided on a black long skirt with a sexy burgundy blouse with knee high boots. Justin picked out the outfit himself.
Across the hall Jenn finished putting on her pink eye shadow and put the finishing touches on her hair. She grabbed her coat and headed out the door. When she came out she saw Justin standing there impatiently.
"Is everything alright Justin?"
"Yeah everything is good. I'm just waiting for Juls."
"Is she ready?"
"Well I thought she looked ready. But you're a woman you know how that goes." Justin said rolling his eyes.
"Should I go get her?"
"Please? I'm an on-the-go man and this waiting around kills me." he said with a laugh.
"Oh stop complaining J. I'm ready.' Juls said coming out of the room.
"Thank God." Justin and Jenn both said at the same time. They looked at each other and Justin laughed.
"Oh my God I'm doing it too now. What the hell is going on?" Jenn said sarcastically.
"I told you it's addicting I never experience anything like that until I met these guys." Juls said with a laugh. "It's like they get into your brain. And you can't help but harmonize witht hem. Even in speech."
"Hey we can't help it." Justin said defending himself as well as his best friends.
John kissed his lover goodbye and sat and watched TV. His guests were about to arrive and he wanted to get out of his apartment. He was really busy at Jake's but took the night off. He hadn't seen Juliana in months and seeing her the week before didn't quite go the way he would of liked it to go. He missed seeing her run around at the restaurant and yelling at her when she was late. Half an hour later of flipping through channels there was a knock on the door.
"Hey Juls!!" he said giving her a hug. Behind her stood a very jealous boyfriend. "What's up Justin!?" he said letting Juls go.
"Hey man!!" Justin said shaking John's extended one forcefully.
"Hey John, this is Jenisse. She's staying with us in Orlando. She's a very talented songwriter."
"Nice to meet you, Jenisse."
"Nice to meet you too, John."
"Come on in guys. Do you want a drink before we go? Justin, beer?"
"Yeah thanks." Justin said sitting on one of the stools facing the door. Juliana took a seat next to Justin on the other stool. Justin slowly dragged the stool where she sat closer to him. Juliana gave him a look of warning.
"Have a seat, Jenn." John said pulling out another stool for her.
"Thanks." Jenn looked at the blond man and thought he was a very good looking man. Jenn made a mental note to find out more about him.
They were having their drinks making small talk mostly about Juliana's modeling. Jenn told John about some of the songs she'd written. They were all talking and enjoying their conversations when the door opened.
"Hey baby I forgot…." the brunette said walking in the apartment. She was stopped in her tracks when she saw the people across the room. John closed his eye as he heard her voice.
"Please tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing?" Juliana said when she saw the brunette.
