>Tamilia stood crouched in the sand, slowly twirling

>“Forty-two, thirty-eight, one hundred and

>Her bare then dug into the sand and she took off,

>shoulder. Her hands came up and deftly caught the
>perfectly spiraling ball. Cradling it closing to her
>body. Tamilia set her sights on Justin barreling
>towards her and she began running in HIS direction.
>
>Justin chortled evilly and wiggled his fingers. His

>a trot, stalking Tamilia with a devilish gleam. She
>was fearless and ran directly towards him. Showing no
>trepidation or hesitation. Justin began to sprint on
>winged feet, his arms pumping fiercely by his sides.
>They were mere feet away.
>
>Tamilia giggled and veered skillfully to the right,
>then zigzagged to the left. She was determined to
>score for she was losing. Badly. The score of their
>laughable two person football game was 47 to 23. The
>pop star was winning. But not for long.
>
>Justin’s ragged breaths echoed behind her and his arm
>shot outward, catching her waist, exposed by her
>string bikini and he dove into the sand, landing on
>top of her. Tamilia’s eyes opened as the cloud of
>sand dissipated. “Looks like you got me,” she pouted.
>
>“Of course.”
>
>“You gonna move?” Tamilia questioned, arching her
>eyebrow.
>
>“Nope.” Justin pushed the football out of their grasp.
>
>Tamilia frowned and pushed against his bare chest.
>“Get up. You’re heavy,” she grunted.
>
>“No. I’m very comfortable. You’re right up against
>me and I don’t have anything else to do, but lye here
>all day long.”
>
>Tamilia giggled and her stomach tickled Justin’s. The
>football game was forgotten as her arms closed around
>his neck and Justin began nibbling sensually on her
>earlobes and neck. Tamilia’s legs tangled with
>Justin’s as they kissed in the sand.
>
>The couple had spent every moment together since the
>festival. They never parted. Not even for a moment.
>For Justin, he was seeing the world through
>love-filled eyes. Everything shined brighter.
>
>And laughing.
>
>Justin found himself laughing whole-heartedly, his
>entire body shook with mirth and his eyes filled with
>jovial tears. He never knew it was possible to love
>life as much as he was beginning to. With Tamilia, he
>discovered little secrets about the world that no one
>else seemed to know- tiny glittering things that most
>people simply overlook. Like the tiny bubbles that
>sprinkle the air after squeezing in the dish soap and
>the sound of children laughing. How beautiful the
>world can be when one walks slowly and doesn’t rush.
>
>All of these discoveries just exploded from the
>tapestry of life as Justin found himself in love.
>Joyously swimming in it.
>
>He had began to write again. During the night when he
>was too wired and energized to sleep, he would churn
>out gorgeous ballads and feel-good up-tempos. Justin
>found through his music that he wasn’t afraid or lost,
>that maybe he’d found his way out of his troubled
>labyrinth…with a little help.
>
>The rain pelted down, hitting Justin’s bare back,
>drenching his smooth, golden skin. Tamilia broke from
>the kiss as the sky opened up and blessed the town
>with nurturing rain. She closed her eyes and giggled
>as it covered her face. Justin scrambled up from the
>ground, pulling her up as well. It became unbearably
>cold. “C’mon!”
>
>“We’re gonna get soaked!” Tamilia shouted over the
>ocean’s waves.
>
>Justin grinned, pushing back his dripping curls. “I
>know!”
>
>They walked peacefully through the downpour, hand in
>hand. Tamilia hopped on Justin’s back and he spun
>around in dizzying circles, taking his time in
>reaching the house.
>
>They slid through the patio door, soaked to the bone.
>Tamilia’s teeth chattered as she searched frantically
>for anything to keep her warm. The air conditioning
>was churning, keep the house luxuriously cool and she
>cursed her tiny purple string bikini. Justin engulfed
>her in his slick arms and pulled her into his chest.
>It was chiseled and cold and hard, but offered her a
>meager amount of warmth. “We c-can’t…stand here and
>s-s-shiver,” Justin said shakily, running his hands
>over Tamilia’s back.
>
>She groaned and buried her face in his chest, clinging
>to him tighter. Licking her dry lips, she groaned as
>she felt them become tinged with blue. “I-I’m gonna
>go t-take a bath.” Tamilia stuttered as her teeth
>chattered painfully.
>
>Justin a virulent chill coursed through him as she
>left his arms. Tamilia scampered down the wide
>hallways and stopped at the top of the stairs. Her
>lilting verdant eyes focused on Justin’s glowing blue
>ones and her supple lips curled into a sassy smirk,
>“you comin’?”
>
>Justin’s mouth dropped open and he fumbled lamely over
>his words before following her gleefully up the stairs.
>
>**
>
>The waters of the hot tub boiled and churned. Steam
>rose off the bubbling waters and Justin groaned with
>immense pleasure. “How come you let me get in and
>didn’t happen to mention that you loaded the water
>with girlie oil?” Justin questioned, slicking his wet
>hair back.
>
>“You invaded MY bath and now you’re complaining,”
>Tamilia rolled her eyes.
>
>“I’m not complaining. I just don’t want to smell like
>my grandmother,” he stated.
>
>“Cary bought this oil for me. It’s my favorite and I
>only use it for special occasions. You should feel
>privileged to…number one be pampered by my
>sweet-smelling oil and number two to be in this
>luxurious hot tub with ME,” Tamilia smiled, scooting
>between his legs. “Now, Grandma, you owe me a
>massage.”
>
>Justin nodded and moved his large hands up and gently
>untied the strings of her string bikini. It fell into
>the water and he scooped it up, setting it aside.
>Grabbing the bottle of baby oil, he took some into his
>large hands and began kneeding Tamilia’s shoulders.
>
>“What are you going to do when you leave here…man, six
>days?” he asked, his fingers twinkled firmly at the
>smooth flesh of her neck and shoulders.
>
>Tamilia whimpered. It was derived from a combination
>of physical euphoria and mental frustration. “I don’t
>wanna think about it, Justin. Just keep rubbing.”
>
>“You’re going to have to think about it eventually
>Tamilia.”
>
>“I know. Just not today. Hell, not in the next two
>days. I don’t want to ruin this,” she whispered,
>leaning her head of damp hair against his shoulder.
>
>Justin’s hands slid down to her waist and he massaged
>her lower back with his thumbs. “Ruin what?”
>
>“This…whatever it is. I’m having the time of my life
>and I don’t want to think about anything else. I
>don’t want to even imagine what it’s going to be like
>when you go back to Orlando, to your fame and I got
>back to Atlanta to my shambles. I don’t want to think
>about it, Justin.”
>
>Justin wrapped his right arm around her naked torso,
>pressing her against his heart. He sensed the
>uncertainty in her voice that lingered tauntingly in
>the back of his mind. He pressed a feathery kiss on
>her temple. “Tamilia, baby, we’re going to have to
>face this eventually.”
>
>“I know,” she muttered. “Just not today.”
>
>“Then when? Tomorrow? Or the next day? I leave in
>six days…we don’t have that much time.”
>
>Tamilia smiled bitterly. “We could stay here,” she
>laughed sourly.
>
>“We can’t.” Justin answered with such finality. “You
>don’t think I want to? I do.”
>
>Tamilia pushed away from Justin and stood up. Leaving
>the warmth of the water, she dried her feet on the mat
>and stalked into the master bedroom, trying herself
>off. By the time, Justin made it out of the water, a
>towel draped securely over his waist, Tamilia was
>brushing her wet hair. She positioned herself in
>front of the mirror and hastily braided. It fell
>sloppily down her back.
>
>She pulled on a pair of jeans, a tee shirt and stepped
>into her tennis shoes. “Where are you going?” Justin
>asked.
>
>“I need to run to the store to get some things for
>dinner tonight,” she answered coldly without looking
>at him.
>
>Her beautiful green eyes were trained on what she was
>doing. She slid her beaded bag over her shoulder
>before sitting on the edge of the bed to tie her shoes.
>
>“Don’t leave angry, ‘Milia.” Justin begged.
>
>Tamilia’s nostrils flared. “I’m not angry, Justin.
>Just…I need to think.”
>
>“You’re coming back?” he inquired, swallowing shakily.
>
>Tamilia’s eyes flitted in his direction at the sadness
>in his eyes and the ice fell away. Her hardened
>demeanor softened as if it had never been there and
>she walked over to him, placing a tender kiss on his
>lips. She pressed her forehead against his, fingering
>the tiny curls on his neck. “Of course I am. Always,
>Justin.”
>
>**
>
>Tamilia inspected the green peppers thoroughly.
>Bringing them to her nose and smelling the pungent
>spice. With a dejected sigh, she placed it in her
>plastic bag and dropped it in her basket. Her bubble
>of pure elation had been obliterated by Justin’s
>simple question. She didn’t want to envision
>returning home or the problems she would have.
>Tamilia just wanted to stay in at her beautiful house
>by the sea with this enchanting soul that she was
>blessed to meet.
>
>She finished her shopped, getting the spices she
>needed for dinner and some other ingredients for
>dessert and moved to the check out aisle. Placing her
>items on the counter, Tamilia smiled unsteadily at the
>clerk. But her eyes her jumped to a headline on the
>newspapers lining the back wall behind the clerk’s
>counter.
>
>“Popstar’s Girlfriend May Cancel World Tour”
>
>Tamilia’s hands shook as she fixated on the headline.
>She bit her lip and clenched the dollar bills in her
>hands.
>
>“That’ll be $14.52, Miss.” The clerk said. “Excuse
>me, miss,” he finally caught Tamilia’s gaze. “That’ll
>be $14.52.”
>
>Tamilia chuckled humorlessly. “Um, can I have that
>paper too…please,” she cleared her suddenly parched
>throat. “Uh…hold on. And a bottle of water.”
>
>The clerk added up her new items and she snatched the
>bottle of water before he could pack it away in her
>bags. Tamilia took her groceries and the paper and
>left the store. Hastily opening the bottle of chilled
>water, she plopped down on the sidewalk and began
>gulping ravenously.
>
>**
>
>An hour later, Tamilia entered Justin’s house. Her
>fingers were numb from the suddenly cold air and her
>face was long and void of any emotion. She heard
>Justin’s heavy-heeled footsteps and he darted into the
>kitchen from the piano room, a pencil tucked behind
>his ear, tangled in his curls, his glasses tucked into
>the collar of his shirt.
>
>“Where were you?” he questioned. “It’s been almost
>two hours. I was worried,” Justin explained, trying
>to gage the expression on Tamilia’s face.
>
>“I was out…doing some reading.”
>
>“Reading?” Justin exclaimed, raising his eyebrows.
>
>Tamilia set her bags on the kitchen counter and
>retrieved the crumpled newspaper. “I’m going to the
>bathroom. Why don’t you ‘entertain’ yourself with
>this until I get back?” she stalked past Justin,
>dropping the newspaper at his feet before heading down
>the hall and up the stairs.
>
>Justin glanced down at the headline and his eyes
>widened at the headline. He sat down on the floor and
>frantically searched for the correct page. His widen
>azure eyes buzzed wildly over the page. He mumbled
>the words aloud as sweat began to form on his
>forehead. “In a recent rehearsal for the tour,
>Timberlake’s Girlfriend tripped over an uneven edge of
>the stage, taking a painful fall. She got up,
>complaining about pain in her right hand and arm and
>was taken to New York’s Beth Israel Hospital for
>further treatment.”
>
>“Oh God…” he gasped.
>
>Justin had been shielded from the mindless barrage of
>media attention. The morbid curiosity that compelled
>reporters to follow his every move didn’t exist here.
>And with Tamilia, he simply forgot about the outside
>world. He ran into the kitchen, picking up the
>cordless phone from the base and dialed hastily.
>“Jace, pick up the damn phone…JC?!” Justin shouted.
>
>“JUSTIN? Where the hell have you been? We’ve been
>calling you for nearly a week!” JC questioned
>worriedly. “Are you doing okay? Joey wants to come
>down there.”
>
>“I’m fine. I’m doing really well. Joey can stay
>there. Look, I just found an article, is she okay,
>Josh?”
>
>JC sighed and dropped his head as he stared numbly at
>his shoes. “She didn’t call you?”
>
>“No, and if she did, I haven’t been picking up the
>phone.”
>
>“So I noticed. She broke three fingers on her right
>hand. They may need to do surgery, but you should
>call her Justin.”
>
>Justin sighed into the phone, his eyes flicking
>nervously to the hall.
>
>“I gotta ask you something, J…” JC began. “Everytime
>I check my voicemail, there are these amazing ‘seeds’
>for songs…I mean, I have at least twenty on there.
>Where are all these coming from?”
>
>Justin smiled stupidly. “Uh…I’ve just been feeling a
>lot better. That’s all. I mean it’s great up here
>and I got the whole ocean-
>water-tranquil-sunset-Norman Rockwell-thing goin’ on
>here.”
>
>JC shook his head in disbelief. “What’s her name?” he
>chuckled.
>
>Justin rubbed his forehead and sighed before
>resigning. “Jace,” he closed his eyes and licked his
>lips. “I’m in over my head here.”
>
>“What do you mean? You DID meet someone.”
>
>Justin ran his fingers through his curls and sighed
>lustfully. “Tamilia. She’s just…she makes me see
>things I’ve never seen before. She…I can’t even
>explain it.”
>
>“Wait, do you remember you have a girlfriend? A very
>famous one with a very nasty temper?” he posed.
>
>Justin began to pace. “I know…I know.”
>
>“But…”
>
>“But I don’t love her. I don’t feel this…pull or
>connection that I feel with her.”
>
>JC couldn’t help to smile. “I shouldn’t be happy
>about this, J. But she knows who you are?”
>
>“Yeah. We talk about it, a lot actually. She doesn’t
>give a rat’s ass about it. I love it.”
>
>“Wow…does she have a sister?” JC joked.
>
>Tamilia stomped down the stairs, nostrils flaring and
>headed down the hall with her hands placed prominently
>on her hips. She glared at Justin, who was leaning
>against the wall, phone pressed to his ear, nodding
>intently. “Justin, we need to talk.” Her voice was
>steady, cool and even.
>
>Justin’s eyes flitted in her direction and he observed
>her guarded posture. “Of course, ‘Milia. I’m on the
>phone with JOSH, not anyone else. So yeah, I’ll get
>off the phone with JOSH. Bye man.”
>
>He hung up the phone without another word and placed
>it back on the base and sat down at the dinette table.
> He turned around to give Tamilia his full attention.
>He moistened his lips and ran his fingers through his
>free-flowing curls. “What is it?” he asked.
>
>“Don’t even think about turning on the charm, Justin.
>I’m not having it.”
>
>Justin’s arrogant smirk vanished from his face and he
>looked mockingly stern as she continued. “There are a
>lot of things that I pride myself on, Justin. I think
>I’m moral and try to be ethic. I mean I was going to
>become a doctor and that is very important when it
>comes to helping people with their health, through the
>most trying time in their life. But when I met you,
>all of that seemed to go flying out the window,
>because you were so…enchanting and enthralling and
>charming and wonderful. I’ve never been with anyone
>that makes me feel the way you do. And I love that
>about you. And I love your passion for music. I love
>your voice. But I just realized how immoral and
>disgusting this is. I’m the MISTRESS, Justin! You
>have a girlfriend…a beautiful, famous one at that…what
>am I doing with you?” Tamilia shook her head and
>began to pace angrily. “What are you doing with ME?
>Am I just some whore to you?”
>
>“Don’t you EVER say that word, Tamilia, because you
>are so far from it,” Justin interjected sharply,
>flying out of your chair. “You wanna know how close I
>am to my ‘girlfriend’? I get robbed and my dog gets
>KILLED and I have to call her. I got stood up by her
>so many times and she treated me like I was a
>child…everytime she wasn’t there a nice, shiny,
>expensive gift was. I friggin’ collapse and she
>doesn’t come until the NEXT DAY…”
>
>Tamilia staggered backwards in sheer sadness and her
>mind began to race. “So I’m here to make her jealous
>or something? What, am I convenient?”
>
>“NO! God, you are so special to me, Tamilia. I’ve
>never felt anything remotely close with any of my
>other…what, three girlfriends that I’ve felt with
>you,” Justin advanced towards her, his eyes blazing.
>“It’s like you’re in here and you always had been, I
>just had to find you!” He took her hand and placed it
>over her heart.
>
>Tamilia felt the strong beats under her fingers and
>closed her eyes, releasing a lone tear that made a
>shakily descent down her olive cheek. “Do you…love
>her, Justin?” she posed wistfully.
>
>He faltered.
>
>He staggered backwards.
>
>He choked for air.
>
>“D-do…d-do I want? Do I love her? What kind of
>question is that?” he asked nervously.
>
>“A valid one.”
>
>Justin’s hands began to shake and for once his charm
>or sweet smile wouldn’t get him out of an
>uncomfortable situation. “Yeah…I think I do…but it’s
>over between us,” he resigned painfully.
>
>Tamilia picked up the newspaper and threw it at him
>angrily. It landed in a flutter near Justin’s feet.
>“That’s why the DAMN NEWSPAPER HAS HER LABELED AS YOUR
>GIRLFRIEND!” she shrieked.
>
>“Wait, I’m not the only guilty party here! We are
>both cheating, if that’s what you wanna call it!”
>Justin countered as his face began to grow hot with
>anger.
>
>“No, I don’t think so!”
>
>Justin crossed his arms over his chest and scowled.
>“Then who is Cary. He rented that house for you. He
>bought you that oil. You yammer on and on about how
>sweet he is and how much you love him and he’s your
>freakin’ roommate!”
>
>Tamilia laughed dryly, throwing her head back. “Cary
>is gay, Justin.”
>
>“What?”
>
>“As in prefers the love of men.”
>
>“He’s…”
>
>“My best friend,” she supplied softly.
>
>“Oh my god…”
>
>Tamilia’s face crumpled, preparing for tears, but she
>put on a brave face and headed into the kitchen to
>start cooking. Justin, with his back to her, listened

>
>It wasn’t supposed to hurt so much. The end of this

>Justin. It was magical and intense and simply
>heavenly.
>
>Tears dribbled down Tamilia’s cheeks as she searched

>Tamilia gave up trying to be strong. She dropped her

>she was resting on the floor. Her elbows rested on

>
>She felt Justin nearing and she tried to burrow into

>sighed. “I’m sorry, Tamilia,” he whispered softly.
>
>“…but I love you…” she wept. “I love you…so much…”
>
>Justin wrapped his arms around her, pulling her onto

>Justin stood in the morning mists and sighed as he
