Now, without further ado...
(Previously...from "Dream of a Guardian Angel: New Emotions.")
"You saved Justin's life and helped me express my love for him. Jase, you gave all of us the courage to accept their sexuality without allowing any of us to feel the pain you've known. Hell, you didn't let Justin quit *N Sync or allow the tabloids to ruin us. You have come into our lives just when we needed something, needed a guardian angel the most. And for that, I will always love you." JC couldn't keep back the tears.
"WE will always love you." Lance smiled as he said this through the tears that slowly slid down his cheeks.
"I...I don't have words to express..." I couldn't talk. My breath had been taken away by the realization that I was loved for who and what I was, no questions asked. I was enveloped in a very tight group hug. After several minutes, we broke apart and each sat on the blanket allowing the crash of the waves to be the only sound audible.
And now, "Dream Revealed."
I must have gone into one of my dazes. The next thing I remember is Lance grabbing my shoulders and shaking me really hard. I looked into his eyes and saw a great deal of concern and a bit a fear.
"Do I look like a rag doll or somethin'? Don't make me kick your cute ass in front of your friends, 'cause I have no problem pullin' a Justin right here, right now!" I looked at Lance and he could tell I was joking, but also startled.
"Jase, you kinda faded out on us for a minute. You OK? You wouldn't answer any of us when we talked to you." Lance spoke gently.
"I'm fine. I was just remembering a dream I had, that's all." I hoped my answer would be sufficient. It wasn't.
"What dream?" Justin asked out of curiosity.
"Have y'all ever had a dream that seemed so real, and yet wasn't? Have y'all ever lived a moment, and felt that you had already lived it before? Have y'all ever been in a situation and realized you knew every thing that was happening before it actually happened?" I looked at each of the guys as I spoke.
"You mean like ESP or somethin' like that?" Lance asked quizzically.
"Have any of you experienced de ja vu?" I paused.
"What are you trying to say?" Chris looked at me oddly.
"I don't know how y'all will take this with all the crazy fan shit y'all have to deal with. But, last Monday morning I awoke from a really bizarre dream. I don't know how or why, but most of what happened to us since Wednesday was basically in my dream two days before on Monday." I looked at everyone and saw nothing but confusion.
"You mean you planned this whole thing?" JC wasn't angry, but he was troubled by his thoughts.
"NO! In my dream, we were in Dallas in my apartment building, not in Orlando. It's hard to explain. My dream was a dream in a dream. I dreamt that I had had a dream with several powerful images in it and during the actual dream, I foresaw five things. One, I saved Justin's life. Two, I kept *N Sync together by clearing up the misunderstanding Justin had about the reaction to him being gay. Three, I helped JC confess his love for Justin. Four, I kept *N Sync from getting ripped apart in the 'Tabloids.' And five, I gave Lance, Chris and Joey the strength to admit being gay. In most instances, it felt like de ja vu. But, maybe clairvoyance would be the best description. I don't expect y'all to understand. Hell, I don't even really understand myself. All I know is that we were all meant to help each other out. I am, for the first time, truly confronting my sexuality and coming to terms with the death of my family. I didn't have anyone in my life to be there for me like all y'all have. And I hope I've meant something to you guys, too." I was regretting having told them while I spoke. I wouldn't have believed anyone who told me what I had just told them.
"You HAVE meant something to us, and will continue to mean something to us. I don't understand it either. I never would have acted the way I acted in that MEN'S ROOM in Dallas, normally. Hell, I've dealt with weirder situations without even battin' an eye. In a way, I was really the cause of you becoming involved with us. So, I guess what I'm tryin' to say is, it doesn't matter when you knew something. The fact that you came into our lives is all that's important, and I think I speak for everyone when I say you are our guardian angel." Justin sounded so mature, even as the tears fell down his face.
"All I know is that if I hadn't met you five guys, I probably would have never felt happiness or joy again. In my book, you five are my guardian angels." I realized this was a true moment of de ja vu. I had said these exact words to the guys in my dream. I began to tremble from the realization.
"Jase, you OK?" Lance asked.
"I've never been better." I smiled back at Lance and then to Joey, Chris, JC and Justin.
We finally got around to opening the ice chest and satisfying our thirst and hunger. It was getting close to sundown, so the chill in the air was rapidly closing in on us. I pulled out my sweater and sweat pants and put them on. Everyone had brought warmer clothes except Lance, so I pulled him over toward me as he looked into my eyes and instantly knew what I was doing. Lance scooted over and sat between my legs Indian style. I then wrapped my arms and legs around him to form a human blanket. We stayed like that until the dusk faded into darkness.
"Well guys, I say we head back. Besides, if Justin looks half as good naked as he did in my dream, JC's got a LONG, HARD night ahead of him." I started giggling.
"You best quit. I'm still pissed at you for the little gropin' 'thang' Justin told me about night before last." JC mocked anger.
"Hey, I still think Justin and Lance are full of it on that one. Did I do any 'gropin' on you last night Lance?" I was so confident I was right.
"Well, actually, you did get friendly. REAL friendly." Lance and the others started laughing.
"And you LIKED it, don't deny it!" I pouted.
"So what if I did? What do you say about that?" Lance grinned evilly.
"I'd say you might not be able to handle what I could offer when I'm awake!"
I stood up and pulled Lance into my arms. We kissed only for a second before we started laughing.
Everyone packed up and headed back to the vehicles. We decided that Lance and I would pick out a couple of movies and JC, Justin, Chris and Joey would go heat up the mountain of leftover Chinese food from this afternoon. Lance and I jumped into his 4-Runner and the rest of the guys went with Joey. Then, we were off. Lance drove in silence. As I did on the way to the beach, I caught myself humming, and then singing. For some reason, my thoughts always came together with music. I didn't notice Lance had been catching glimpses of me until we pulled up to the video store.
"Take a picture!" I had caught him in mid-stare.
"You're somethin' else. I know I keep sayin' that, but there's just..." Lance didn't finish his sentence. I knew what he meant, though.
"I'll be back in a sec." I jumped out and ran into the video store without even asking Lance if he wanted to come with me. I knew Lance didn't want to take the chance of being recognized.
I wasn't in the video store for more than ten minutes. I picked out two movies, one comedy/drama and one thriller. Then, I left the video store and jumped into the passenger seat of Lance's 4-Runner. Lance looked at me and could see my devilish grin.
"What're you up to?" Lance looked at me with a slight smile on his face.
"Well, after the 'cold water' retaliation last night, I was wondering if you were up to a little prank-playin' tonight?" I had been fairly mellow today with the press conference and all and needed to let the smart-ass side of me out to play.
"Oh shit. I don't think I want to know what you've got in mind. Besides, I'm coming after your ass for the 'getting thrown to the floor' deal last night." Lance started grinning widely.
"You are? Guess we should stop by a store and pick up some lube." I said this matter-of-factly knowing it would take Lance a moment to catch the joke. Eureka! Lance started turning every shade of red imaginable.
"I just keep leavin' myself open, don't I?" Lance finally spoke after a minute or two of full-on blushing.
"You said it, I didn't!"
We pulled into the driveway at Justin's house and parked beside Joey. I grabbed Lance's arm and told him my plan for pullin' a prank on JC and Justin. He agreed to play along. This one could actually get INTERESTING, if you catch my drift.
"It's about damn time! Couldn't you two have waited to make out until the movies started? I'M STARVIN' HERE!" Joey said this as he started piling the leftover Chinese on a plate.
"Jealous?" Lance shot this one off.
"He's not anymore!" Chris replied as he rubbed his hand over Joey's butt and gave it a love pat.
Everyone ate and finished off all the food. We moved out of the dining room and into the den. I volunteered to pop the popcorn and returned with three big bowls full. Then I settled in by Lance and we watched the first movie.
After Justin started the second movie, I decided it was time to pull my prank. So, Lance and I moved to the floor in front of the love seat JC and Justin were sharing. I spooned Lance from behind with my back against the love seat. After everyone was settled and into the movie, I whispered in Lance's ear to ready him for my prank. Lance giggled a little too hard for me not to be suspicious, but I brushed it off.
I reached up and slid my hand beneath the blanket that Justin and JC shared.
I started rubbing JC's thigh and slowly moved my way up to his crotch. Just when I could feel JC start to get excited, I slowly worked my way back down his thigh and then finally stopped. The prank was planned so that JC would ask Justin why he stopped just when he was getting' into it, and Justin wouldn't know what JC was talking about. But then I learned why Lance had giggled the way he did. Justin hit pause on the VCR remote.
"You know, Jase. If you wanted a piece of me, you should have at least asked Justin first." JC refrained from laughing until Lance busted out laughing. I had been taken! Lance had told JC my plan from the start.
"GOTCHA!" Lance, Justin and JC yelled in unison. Joey and Chris laughed and turned on a lamp. That's when they saw that I truly was shocked.
"Damn, Jase. I thought you said you were never short on words?" Joey said between chuckles. It took me a minute to regroup.
"I'm truly shocked? I don't know if I should scratch my watch, or wind-up my ass!" I had to at least say something.
"Oh hell! There he goes! Someone has got to be able to put Jase in his place!" Joey joked, but was also a little exasperated that I could always come up with some line to say and confuse the hell out of him.
"Justin, we cool? I'm sorry I felt up your man as a prank." I looked at Justin and pulled my best puppy-dog eyes expression.
"We cool. But I think you owe JC an apology if you're gonna apologize to me." Justin grinned at me and I was lost for just a second. Then I got what Justin was referring to.
"If any GROPIN' occurred the first night I was here, I apologize. I still think you and Lance were just havin' kinky dreams." I honestly didn't know if I had groped Lance and Justin in my sleep the first night I was in Orlando. While I'm a deep sleeper, I have been told I do thrash about, and if someone is in bed with me, it might have seemed like gropin' or something kinky like that.
"Please, just admit it. You were all over me last night, AGAIN!" Lance couldn't help but blush, which made me realize that he and Justin were telling the truth.
"So, like I said earlier, I still think you enjoyed it!" I started giggling but was suddenly shocked. Lance and Justin looked at each other, then me, then JC. JC simply nodded.
"Turnabout is fair play." JC stated with an evil grin.
Suddenly, Lance and Justin jumped me and started 'gropin' me in front of everybody. And when I say 'gropin', I don't mean a little pat on the ass and squeeze on the thigh. I mean 'GROPIN,' as in the kind that has resulted in a number of sore asses and spent dicks. Lance and Justin didn't seem the least bit embarrassed by putting on this little show in front of JC, Joey and Chris. When the catcalls started, that's when I really got embarrassed.
After Lance and Justin stopped their sexual torment, Joey started hootin' and hollerin' with pride.
"FINALLY! Jase is left without a damn 'thang' to say!" Everyone started laughing as they realized that Joey was right! I was beyond flabbergasted.
"Hey, Jase. You OK? Or do you need a cold shower before you answer." Chris continued to laugh.
"Uh...Uh...I..." My mind was blank.
Joey continued to do a little victory dance as everyone laughed at my expression. But then, I kicked into gear.
"Chris, was that an offer?" I raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"OH MAN! JUST WHEN I THOUGT..." Joey looked as if he had been slapped across the face.
"See what you get for thinkin'!" I got tickled as everyone turned and looked at me.
"Do you ever stop?" Lance asked half jokingly.
"You'll find out later tonight!" I couldn't help but blush.
After everyone settled down, Justin resumed the movie and we all just cuddled with our significant others and watched the movie. Once the credits rolled at the end, Chris and Joey said their farewells and left. Lance stood up and walked toward the couch. He stopped and looked at Justin, JC and me before sitting down and sighing heavily.
"Boo, what's up? Why the sad face?" I moved to sit beside him.
"Well, it's just you're Justin's guest, and I wanted you to come back to my place tonight, if you want to." Lance looked at the floor while he spoke.
"Scoop, Jase isn't a prisoner here! He can go where he likes, just like you." Justin stated quietly.
"FINE, then Lance and I will shack up with you and JC in that big bed of yours. Might get crowded, but I'm sure we can find a PLACE for EVERYONE." I laughed as did JC and Justin. But Lance looked at me and tears started to fall as he got up and ran toward the door. "Damn it!" I ran after Lance and stopped him at the front door.
"Why..." Lance couldn't talk through his tears.
"Boo, please look at me. I'm SO sorry. I forget that you're still not used to the way I joke around, even with the serious stuff. I wasn't tryin' to make light of your obvious feelings for me. I think I'm just a little nervous about this whole relationship stuff." I was being honest.
"And I'm not? Remember this is new to me as well." Lance looked at me and I could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Stand right here. I'll be back in a sec." I walked into the den and grabbed my duffel bag. Just as I was about to leave, I heard someone walk up behind me. I realized I had totally ignored Justin and JC. My mind was on one thing and one thing only: making Lance understand how I felt about him.
"Fix this. Those were your own words to me on the plane, were they not? I haven't seen Scoop this happy in years." Justin looked deep into my eyes and I could see his concern for Lance.
"I will. And by the way, if you need me, I'll be at Lance's!" I said this as I ran toward the front door.
"What's this?" Lance asked as he wiped away his tears looking at my duffel bag.
"It's my overnight bag. I remember someone askin' me to stay at his place before I popped off and made a big JERK out of myself. I hope the offer still stands?" I grabbed Lance's hand and kissed it gently.
"Only if you promise not to make fun of my feelings or desire to be with you. I don't know how, but I just have this feelin' about you. It's like I've been in love with you forever." Lance blushed.
"In love with me?" I was taken aback.
"Yes. Ever since I hugged you on the plane, it been like I can't think of anyone else but you." Lance confided in me.
"You too?" I started to grin.
"What?" Lance was shocked.
"You felt it too? Something like electricity when we hugged each other? I haven't been able to shake the same feeling that I'm fallin' for you." I had tears in my eyes, but they didn't fall. We kissed until we were rudely interrupted.
"Will y'all leave already! JC and I need some privacy up in here." Justin grinned as JC walked behind him, making their way upstairs.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." I laughed as Lance and I turned to leave.
"Please, we've only been together two nights and we can't do HALF of what YOU WOULD do." JC spoke with some good ol' smart-ass attitude.
"We'll call you tomorrow. NOT TO EARLY, though." I walked out of the house behind Lance and closed the front door.
Lance and I giggled as we walked to Lance's 4-Runner. We both got in and Lance tore out of the driveway. Lance kept looking over at me while he drove.
"Lance, I suggest you keep your eyes on the road. You'll get to see everything when we get to your place, I promise." I looked at Lance and our eyes locked in a passionate gaze.
Justin's House***********
"OH...GOD...JJJJCCCCCC!!!!!" Justin screamed loudly as his orgasm overtook him. JC raised his head from Justin's spent cock and smiled seductively.
"Curly, you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this with you." JC started to get teary-eyed.
"Come here, babe." Justin pulled JC up to hug him. JC held on to Justin as if he would die if he ever let go.
"I...I love you!" JC spoke quietly into Justin's ear.
"I know you do. And I love you. But let me show you how much!" Justin spoke in a husky voice as he rolled JC unto his back.
Justin started kissing JC on his Adam's Apple and worked his way down JC's chest. Lightly nibbling on each nipple, Justin looked up at JC's face and saw the lust and passion building as JC's eyes began to glaze over. Justin kissed his way down JC's abs and flicked his tongue around JC's navel, causing JC to moan in ecstasy. Justin continued kissing down the treasure trail and found his prize: JC's throbbing member, leaking pre-cum. Justin took a deep breath and engulfed the head of JC's cock into his warm, moist mouth. JC gasped from the sudden pleasure coming from Justin's tongue. Justin circled the head of JC's cock, teasing out more and more pre-cum. Then Justin slowly lowered his head until he started to gag, then came up for air. Justin was relentless in his desire to take JC completely in his mouth. Just when Justin had his nose in JC's pubes, the phone rang.
"Damn phone, I should have taken it off the hook." Justin complained once he came up for air.
"What wrong?" JC was so enraptured, he had failed to hear the first ring of the phone.
"I've got to get the phone. Mom's in Europe, so she's probably callin' now since it's early morning over there." Justin moved toward the phone as it rang for the third time.
"Just tell her you were in bed and would like to get back there as soon as possible!" JC looked hurt that Justin would talk on the phone in the middle of their passion. Justin giggled as he answered the phone.
"Hello...WHAT...yes, we'll be right there. Thank you." Justin started trembling.
"What's wrong? Who was that?" JC sat up when he noticed Justin's state.
"Get dressed. Lance and Jason were in a wreck on the way to Lance's. Call Joey and Chris and tell them to meet us at the hospital." Justin spoke in a daze.
"WHAT!" JC jumped up and started looking for his clothes that lay scattered on Justin's floor.
Justin snapped out of his daze and got dressed. JC pulled on his pants and grabbed the phone to call Chris and Joey.
TBC...
Will Lance and Jase ever get together? Or has FATE run its course? That's the question!
