Last time on Chapter 10 of Love Interest -

"I still love ya baby." Josh winked, and kissed Justin gently and quickly on the lips. As Justin, Josh, Lance, and Brittney turned to pay attention to where they were walking on the bus. They caught Samantha Mumba sitting in the living area, her eyes wide open and mouth drooped to the floor.

Justin's own mind raced, she had seen him. Not knowing what to do, Justin turned his mind to sadness, and soon began to cry. Rushing out of the area, he ran to his bunk and jumped in. Josh hesitated. He didn't know if he should explain to Samantha, or if he should run after and comfort Justin. Deciding it would be better if he settled the situation with Samantha, he walked casually to the living area.

"Hi, I'm Josh. You must be Samantha." Josh smiled and grabbed a hand that just wasn't extended for a shake. "I hope you aren't appalled by what you saw back there Samantha." Josh quickly added.

"You, you can call me Sam." Is all she managed to get out, as she took into consideration what to say. Sam was not comfortable with the situation, but she knew she couldn't say anything against it. They were nice enough to allow her to join the tour, and if she said anything it could ruin the careers. "Um, no, it's cool. I was just, shocked to say the least. I mean, you two are close and thats obvious, but I didn't think you were sleeping together." Samantha let out, and looked at Josh with a smile.

"Oh, we aren't, we haven't gone that far yet." Josh joked, laughing with her. "But are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'll get use to it." She smiled again and replied honestly.

"Alright, well then I hope you don't mind, but I have to go and talk to my boyfriend, I think he's a little upset right now." Josh said frowning, as he stood and walked to the bunk area. Sliding into the bunk he knew to be his and Justin's, he rolled right up to the back of Justin. "Babe, it's okay, Sam's cool with it." Josh kissed the back of his neck, waiting for Justin to respond.

"Really?" Justin croaked out, his tears subsided slowly.

"Yep, she said she'll get use to it. So now you can meet her." Josh smiled, and released Justin from his hold.

"Okay." Justin agreed, and wiped away the tears that still remained. As they headed back towards Samantha it was obvious that Justin had been crying. And although he didn't want to start off there relationship with tears, it was hard for him not to, after what he had expected from Samantha.

"Justin, this is Sam. Sam this is my boyfriend Justin." Josh let them shake hands, and they both took seats. Josh sitting next to Justin and wrapping an arm around him.

"I'm really sorry if I hurt you earlier Justin. I didn't mean to get that look on my face. I was just a little shocked to say the least that you two were together." Samantha apologized, not wanting to start the friendship off on a bad foot.

And now Love Interest Chapter 11 -


"It's okay, I shouldn't have reacted like I did." Justin mumbled, as Josh squeezed his body tight, Justin knew he could do better that. "I mean, I'm sorry too for the way I treated the situation. I shouldn't have ran away without finding out the real story." Justin replied again, this time loud enough to be heard.

"No, no, trust me it was my fault. I'm really sorry. Let's just say we call it even, and forget about this." Sam smiled and put out her pinkie finger. Justin smiled awkwardly, and moved his out as well, and gave it a tug. "Great."

"Should we be informed about something?" Joey said as he, Chris, and Christina walked onto the bus.

"Um, yeah, guys this is Samantha. But she wants us to call her Sam." Every one nodded at her, waiting to hear an explanation as to why they had found Justin and her pinkie swearing. "She kinda saw me and Just kissing." Josh let out, he didn't want to say it, because he knew that they would be upset with them for letting it get out before even having a chance to get to know her.

"She what?" Joey spit out, but was caught off guard by a whack to the head from Christina. Joey rubbed his head sorely, while Christina smiled at Justin and Josh. She was able to tell that Justin was crying, being more perceptive to that since she was a girl, and she knew that Justin probably didn't want to get scolded for it. Chris just walked right passed the whole group and into his bunk. He was tired of listening to everything, he had his own problems that he was working on. "Sorry about that." Joey whispered, knowing that he shouldn't have snapped out about them getting caught. "As long as she is cool with it, then we don't have to worry." Joey added, this time loud enough for every one to hear.

"I am, don't worry. To begin with, it was none of my business. And I'm not one to run and gossip, I don't want a bad reputation when I'm just starting out." Samantha replied politely, Joey smiled.

"Cool" Joey added, as he and the guys all shook there heads. Brittney and Christin grabbed Samantha, the guys knew that they were going to tell her everything that she should know, and they knew it would take a while. Joey, just shrugged and went to his bunk. Figuring he could catch a nap. Leaving Lance, Justin, and Josh by themselves in the living area.

"So, what are you two up for today? Or do you want to be alone?" Lance asked politely, not wanting to interfere if they had other plans.

"I don't know yet, what do you wanna do baby?" Josh asked, applying a small kiss on his neck.

"Um, I really wanted to see Remembering the Titans. I heard it was really good." Justin managed to keep his excitement hidden, but he didn't do a good job of it, as Josh and Lance could both tell it was the only option they were going to be presented with.

"Alright." Josh agreed, kissing him again on the neck. "You're welcome to come Lance." Josh offered, waiting for an answer from Lance while he continiously added kisses to Justin's neck. Justin giggled, as he too waited for an answer.

"Some how being with you two might make me sick." Lance joked, and laughed slightly. "But, nah, I think I'm going hang out with Britt today, see if I can get in on the girl talk in the back." Lance joked again, and left them to there movie. Josh led the way off the bus, but they were soon stopped by there security guard Lonnie. Justin loved Lonnie, and Josh respected him a lot. Lonnie had now become Justin's personal guard, and Josh knew that when he wasn't around that Lonnie would make sure nothing happened to Justin. The only problem was, he was still in the dark of there relationship.

"Where do you two think your going?" Lonnie questioned, before they could even continue walking.

"Um, we were gonna catch a movie. Ya know, with you since we need a bodyguard." Josh added in, as he waited for a yes.

"Nope, sorry but management wants you on the bus today. No outside activities, just sleep and relaxation for the first concert." Lonnie replied, basically pushing them back on the bus. Once inside he shut the door, leaving Justin and Josh with only one thing left to do. Relax like they had been advised too.

"This sucks, I wanted to see that movie so bad." Justin whined, as he took a seat on Josh's lap. Josh just smiled, and planted a kiss on Justin's neck.

"We could make a special movie for each other." Josh giggled at his own words, as he heard Justin laugh too.

"You know I'm not ready for that, plus we are on a tour bus with our friends." Justin added through his laughter, trying to think for a real idea. "I know, we could have the PR go rent us some movies."

"Yeah, except he is busy with management. Why don't we just take a nap?" Josh questioned, waiting for an answer. With a nod, Justin agreed and they were off to bed. Neither noticing that Chris was watching them from his bunk the whole time, a look of disgust on his face.

"Inside or the outside?" Josh asked before he climbed into the bed.

"In" Justin shouted, as he jumped up first. Josh climbed in after, and shut the curtain. Justin snuggled under the covers, and as Josh did the same, he instinctively leaned into Josh's warm body for comfort. Josh wrapped his arms around him, and snuggled in for what was sure to be a nice nap.


"I told you about me, so now you tell me about everybody." Samantha smiled, and waited for them to spill the secrets that they had hinted towards. Lance had already been asked to leave, so he went to watch some tv in the living area.

"Um, well me and Lance are dating, we have been for a while actually. He's a great guy, and really sweet." Brittney voiced the first secret.

"And um, I'm single, but I like the PR, so hands off." Christina laughed, and watched the other girls laugh as well.

"What about Justin and JC?" Sam asked.

"Well, first things first. Call him Josh, he hates JC unless it is on stage. But they are serious, even if they have only been dating about 5 days." Brittney laughed, it was only the realization that they had only been dating for less then a week, but they seemed the most serious out of everyone. "It's really sweet, cuz Josh has always liked Justin, and we all knew he was gay. Justin even knew that Josh liked him, and it didn't even effect there relationship. They were still really close, and without Josh I don't think Justin could live." Before Brittney could continue, Christina interrupted.

"Yeah, but Josh couldn't live without Justin either, they need each other."

"That too." Brittney added before continuing. "It was really sad though, because Justin was always upset because he didn't think he could reciprocate the feelings. Then I screwed up big time. I told Justin maybe he just didn't see it, and that sent him into a depression for like two days. But it got even worse when Josh brought home a boyfriend. I mean, even though Josh has always loved Justin, he didn't want to be alone so he went out with other guys." Brittney decided she would give Christina the turn to speak.

Christina eagerly picked up where Brittney had left off. "Well like Britt was saying; Justin was depressed, because he saw Josh with this guy, and he realized that what Brittney said was right. He did like Josh, he loved him, as much as Josh loved him. but he thought it was too late, that Josh was with the other guy for sure. So he moped around, and Josh didn't even seem to catch on to it. He was being such an ass, he didn't even comfort his bestfriend when Justin ran from the restaraunt crying when he saw Josh and the guy kiss. I mean, Justin was devastated, we couldn't get him to sleep that night. He wanted to wait until Josh got home, but Josh went home with Jim." Christina took a breather, and looked at Samantha for an okay to continue.

"Jim who?" Sam asked a little confused.

"Jim was the guy Josh was dating." Brittney answered, as Christina took up the story again.

"Finally some time in the morning Josh woke up at Jim's place. He went to the store, bought Justin a teddy bear, and came back. He went straight upstairs, and looked in Justin's room, but didn't find him. Coming back down, we had to explain to him that Justin had fallen asleep in his room waiting for Josh. It was really cute, because Justin always liked Josh's room better, so what would be a better place for them to get together." Christina cooed. "But anyways, Josh went upstairs, and woke him up. He told Justin that he loved him, and for the first time Justin could return the words, he could return them in the same way Josh meant them, and he was happy to do it." Christina added with heart filled words.

"It was so cute, because it was like nothing happened. Justin wasn't upset anymore, in fact he was happy, thrilled really. And now they make the cutest couple, you are going to love them by the end of this tour." Brittney warmly added, as she and Christina sighed. Sam smiled, and realized that they were a cute couple, and she could recall watching a few MTV shows where they were very close, and all though it was before they got together, she realized that they were cute as friends too.

"That's so sweet." Sam replied, as they story was now over.

"I wish me and Lance had a good story like that. For us, it was just we were sitting around together, and we just hooked up." Brittney complained, but didn't get any simpathy from the other girls.

"Oh, boo hoo, at least you got a man." Christina teased, and Samantha nodded while she laughed.

"Shut up." Brittney teased back, as they laughed for a good two minutes. Samantha was happy, she had expected to be an outcast among the large group of stars. After all, she was new to the music scene. Not to mention the fact that everyone knew how close they all were, especially the members of NSYNC. But they had accepted her quickly, and she felt like a part of the group now that she knew about Justin and Josh. A secret she knew she would never tell anyone, not even her family.

She smiled with the girls, glad to be part of such a big 'family'.
