*Janice's POV*
After Justin gave me my fifty dollars since I ate all of my food, he took me home.
"Thanks for today." I smiled at him.
"No problem. We should do it again." He nodded.
"And we shall." I nodded and got out of the car.
"See you later." He smiled at me.
"Bye Justin." I smiled back before walking inside the house. I walked upstairs to my bedroom and shut the door. I walked over to my large bed and sat down. My door then opened and there stood my father.
"You're home." He said. Way to state the obvious, Dad.
"You could've knocked." I said.
"Sorry." He sighed.
"What do you want?" I sighed.
"How was hanging out with Justin?" He asked me.
"Good." I nodded.
"Good." He said.
"Anything else?" I frowned.
"Oh um your Mom and I will be leaving soon for our appointment." He told me.
"Have fun." I sarcastically smiled. With a sigh he shut my door and I heard him walk downstairs.
Why do my parents have an appointment? They go to marriage counseling a couple cities over. Can't have the city knowing that the mayor and his wife are having marriage problems, now can we? It all started a couple years ago when my Dad cheated on my Mom with his old secretary. She was of course immediately fired and my parents were separated for a year. It took a toll on James and I. Mainly me, but still James.
I have no respect for my father or my mother. She stayed with him when she should've gotten a divorce. He's not good enough for her and he never will be.
There suddenly was a knock on my door.
"Come in." I said and the door opened to reveal my mom.
"We'll be leaving soon." She told me.
"I know, Dad already told me." I nodded.
"Karen is here."She informed me. Karen is our housekeeper that comes every other day.
"Okay." I could honestly careless.
"Behave." She warned me.
"Don't I always?" I scoffed at her. With a smirk on her face, she shut the door and left.
What shall I do now? I looked around my room and laid my eyes on the large bookcase I have filled with books. I stood up from my bed and walked over to it. I've read most of the books in the case, but I haven't read a few. Let's just say, I really love books.
I examined the books and picked one out. I sat back down on my bed and opened the book. This will be the third time I'm reading this book. As I read my book I thought came to my mind.
I wonder what Justin is doing?
*Justin's POV*
"Did you have fun today?" Mom asked me as she cooked.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Justin." She frowned at me.
"What? I did!" I said.
"No not that!" She stopped stiring her pot."You have a stain on your shirt." I nodded towards my shirt. I looked down and saw a red stain. "What did you eat?" She asked me.
"Oh I took Janice to the General Store to eat." I took off my shirt so I could put it in the wash.
"So you won't be eating dinner?" She went back to cooking.
"C'mon Mom you know me." I laughed. "Of course I'm still gonna eat." I smiled.
"Good because the whole family is coming over." She told me.
"Yay." I sarcastically said before walking to the laundry room.
"Watch the sarcasm, Justin Randall." She warned me. I poked my head into the kitchen.
"Sorry Ma." I smiled at her.
"Go get changed." She laughed.
"I'm goin!" I laughed. I jogged upstairs and walked to my bedroom door.
"Hey there, stranger." Paul said to me. I smiled at him.
"Hey!" I haven't seen him all day.
"Where have you been?" He asked me.
"With Janice. We played basketball." I answered him.
"Oh really?" He smirked at me.
"Yeah." I slowly said.
"Okay." He nodded before walking downstairs.
He's weird.
I walked into my room and changed into a Memphis Grizzlies shirt. I then walked back downstairs. I heard my name mentioned in Mom and Paul's conversation, so I decided to eavesdrop. I can't help it. It's my Mom in me.
"I see the way his eyes light up when he talks about her or mentions her name." Paul whispered to my Mom. Are they talking about Janice?
"Paul he doesn't have feelings for her. They're just friends." Mom told him.
Thank you, Mom.
"We'll see." He said. I decided that this was the perfect moment to walk in.
"Hey guys." I smiled at them.
"You changed your shirt." Mom smiled at me.
"I sure did." I smiled and nodded.
"The family will be here soon." Paul told me.
"Okay." I sighed.
"Justin, behave." Mom glared at me.
"I will, I will." I held my hands up in defense.
"I'm watching you." She looked at me.
"As always." I smiled at her.
"Your cousin Alan is coming over too." She informed me. What? No!
"Ugh!" I groaned. "Why?" I asked her.
"Because he's family!" She told me.
"But he's so nerdy." I groaned.
"Justin Randall Timberlake! Be nice!" She glared at me.
I sighed and nodded, "Okay." I told her.
"You better behave." She told me.
"I will." I nodded. "Can Trace come over then?" I asked her.
"No. You two will gang up on Alan." She shook her head.
"Mom, we're adults. That stuff is long over with." I reassured her.
"Psh, adults." She scoffed.
"Fine. Can I ask Janice?" I heard Paul snicker behind me. "What, Paul?" I turned around and looked at him.
"Nothing." He smiled and I looked back at my Mom.
"Sure, Justin. But you two better be good." She told me.
"Okay." I nodded.
Man I feel like I'm being treated like a teenager again.
********************
The family is all here and I'm waiting for Janice to come. I stood in the living room waiting for her to come when Alan walked into the room. He's wearing a sweatshirt, jeans, and his nerdy glasses.
"This nerdy white boy just found himself a lady." He smiled at me. Yes, he calls himself that.
"Who is it?" I'm actually really shocked.
"This girl that just walked in. She's in the kitchen with your Mom." He told me.
"Come with me Alan." I ordered him. He followed me to the doorway to the kitchen. I peeked in and saw Janice. No! No! No!
I pulled Alan in by his shirt collar and Mom and Janice stopped their conversation.
"Justin Randall, what are you doing?" Mom gasped.
"Is this her?" I pointed to Janice.
"Yeah." He nodded and I smacked him on the back of the head.
"No!" I glared at him.
"Why?" He asked me.
"What's going on?" Janice asked me.
"Justin why did you hit him?" Mom glared at me.
"She is off limits!" I told him.
"Why?" He asked me again.
"Because she's seventeen and she's my new friend!" I told him.
"Justin." Alan sighed.
"Go outside on the patio." I told him and he did.
"Justin what was that about?" Mom asked me.
"Alan had his eyes set on Janice." I sighed.
"He did?" Janice asked me.
"Yes." I sighed.
"Is someone protective?" Janice smirked at me.
"He's my cousin. My nerdy weird cousin." I told her.
"Maybe I'll just go talk to him." She grinned at me.
"Oh no you won't." I stopped her.
"I'm just kidding, Justin. I'm not even allowed to date." She laughed.
"You aren't?" I asked her.
"My Dad is so protective." She rolled her eyes.
"Well he should be!" I said. "Guys aren't the best." I added.
"Says the guy right in front of me." She laughed.
"Hey, I'm a good guy." I defended myself.
"Sure you are, Justin. Sure you are." She walked past me and out of the kitchen. "Oh Alan!" She called.
I swear this girl is going to be the death of me.
A/N
Heeey
For some reason I feel really inspired to write this weekend!!
Alan was inspired by a person that I'm close with, but my Alan isn't really like how the Alan was in here, but he does call himself a "Nerdy white boy". Oh Alan :)
