When she got tickets and backstage passes to an *NSYNC concert she thought she would faint.
‘I’m going to meet JC,’ she thought.Then she was suddenly jolted back to reality as her best friend, Brittany, suddenly said:
“Earth to Paige.”“Oh, sorry, how did you get these?” she asked her best friend.“You know my mom works for the stadium,” Brittany told her.“Oh, right,” said an embarrassed Paige.
~ Three Nights Later At Concert ~
“This is not happening,” Paige mouthed to Brittany as JC knelt down and sang “Just the Two of Us” to her.
“Yes it is,” Brittany mouthed back as JC moved back to the rest of *NSYNC to finish the song.
As the girls headed backstage after the concert Paige thought, ‘ I won’t fall for him, no matter how cute he is.’
She thought this just as JC’s piercing blue eyes locked on her emerald ones. She ran her fingers through her curly blonde hair as he walked over to her.
“I’m JC,” he said extending his right hand out.
“Paige,” she said as she took his hand and shook it.
She talked to him for a long time before realizing Brittany wasn’t beside her. Apparently she had been talking to Justin all that time.
Since the concert was in Orlando, the boys’ homes were nearby.
“Would you like to come over and watch a movie or something?” JC asked.
“Sure, I’d love to,” Paige answered forgetting her promise she had made herself.
JC got a bodyguard to drive them to his place and drop them off, not stay; JC wanted a romantic moment with this beautiful girl. They watched “Titanic” as she fell asleep in his arms.
~ Next Morning ~
“Good morning, sleepy-head,” JC said handing her a cup of coffee.
“What time is it?” Paige asked.
“11:20 AM, why?” JC answered.
“Oh, no, I’m 2 hours and 20 minutes late for work,” she told him.
“I’m sorry, I can drive you,” JC said.
“No, this is the 4th time this month I’ve been late, after 3 times in one month, you’re fired,” she said.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” JC apologized.
“It’s not your fault, I’m the one who didn’t wake up,” she said.
Then apparently to seal his apology he kissed her passionately as he held her in his arms. They stayed like this for about 30 seconds, until she pushed away from him.
“What’s the matter?” JC asked.
“Nothing it’s just…” she began to trail off.
“Just what?” JC questioned.
“Listen, I had a boyfriend,” Paige explained, “ and he died of cancer in the lungs two years ago.”
“Cancer of the lungs?” JC asked.
“Yes, his mom smoked while she was pregnant with him and both his parents smoked around him all his life,” Paige said through tears.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” JC pulled her close to comfort her.
“He was only 21 years old,” she cried to JC.
“He died of 2nd hand smoke, huh,” JC said.
“Yeah, it teaches you not to smoke around other people if you do, which I don’t,” she told JC as she broke down completely in his arms.
“There, there, calm down,” JC comforted her.
After she stopped crying there was a knock at the door. JC let go of her and went to answer it. At the door was a brown hair, hazel-eyed girl who said:
“I’m Brittany, Paige’s best friend, is she here?”
“Yeah, just a sec, Paige!” JC said then yelled as he came to her name.
“What?” Paige asked as she came to the door as well.
“This lady seems to know you,” JC told her.
“Brittany?” Paige said.
“Yeah, its me, could I talk to you alone?” she said motioning for JC to leave them alone.
“What?” asked Paige as she closed the door.
“What are you doing here?” she questioned.
“We watched a movie and fell asleep,” Paige said.
“Yeah, right, something must have happened,” Brittany said motioning towards the house.
“Nothing happened, except,” she trailed off for the second time that morning.
“Except, what?”
“We kissed this morning.”
“Honest?”
“Yep, now leave us alone.”
“Well, when you weren’t home after Justy dropped me off around 1 AM I began to worry.”
“Thanks, I’m fine.”
As she said this she entered JC’s house, he was waiting for her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her with more passion than before.
“What was that for?” she asked him.
“For being so nice, treating me like a real person, and telling me the truth about your boyfriend,” he told his reasons while smiling.
“This is for being nice and listening about my boyfriend,” she said as she kissed his mouth teasingly.
“Thanks,” JC said as she backed up from him.
“I need to go,” Paige explained.
“I’ll drive you,” he said picking up his Mustang keys.
“Thank You,” she smiled.
“No problem,” JC told her.
~ Outside Her and Brit’s Apartment ~
“Here you go,” JC said as he got out to open her door.
“Thank You,” she said not at all surprised at how gentleman like he was.
“Will you go out with me again?” JC asked sweetly with a smile.
She looked into his eyes and kissed him.
“Yes,” she answered.
“The kiss was enough answer for me,” he replied.
“Tonight, 7:30, pick me up here,” she ordered him teasingly.
“Alright,” he said as he walked her up to her door.
With one last kiss he left smiling to himself. He had not felt this way about a girl since he didn’t know when.
~ Inside ~
“Brit, Brittany?” Paige hollered through the apartment.
She heard giggling in her and Brit’s room and walked back to the bedroom to find Justin tickling Brittany on the floor.
“Get a room!” she exclaimed while entering, they stopped at the sound of her voice.
“What are you doing here?” Brittany asked.
“I live here,” she told her friend.
“I know that, but I thought you’d be at JC’s for a few more hours,” Brittany told her.
“Nope, he just dropped me off,” Paige said.
“I’m leaving,” Justin said as he pecked Brittany on the cheek.
After he left Brittany became angry with Paige. She blamed her for Justin leaving.
“Thanks for making my Justy leave!” exclaimed a very mad Brittany.
“Your Welcome,” Paige said sarcastically.
Hearing the sarcasm in her friend’s voice Brittany changed the subject.
“Did you kiss JC more than once?” asked a calmed down Brittany.
“Yes, five times, why?” Paige asked.
“Justin and I only kissed once,” Brittany said jealously.
“Why does it matter how many times we kissed them?” Paige asked in wonder.
“I don’t know,” Brit said.
“Whatever,” Paige said as the phone began to ring, Brittany answered.
“Hello?” answered Brittany.
“Hi, is Paige there?” a voice asked.
“Yeah hold on,” she said before handing the phone to Paige.
“Hello?” answered Paige.
“Hi, sleepy-head, how are you?” JC’s familiar voice chimed in.
“How’d you get my number?” asked Paige.
“Justin got Brittany’s and said you lived together,” JC answered.
“Oh, why’d you call, I just saw you like an hour ago and will see you tonight?” she asked him.
“I needed to hear your voice, Hun,” he answered.
“Oh, but when did we get to a pet name status?” she asked him.
“Just now.”
“Okay, Darling.”
“Bye, Babe.”
“Later, Sweetheart.”
~ That night 7:28 PM ~
JC wanted tonight to be perfect. He knew he was in love the first time he looked into her emerald eyes.
Paige was also hoping tonight would be perfect. She too knew she was in love. Even though only three days ago she said she was never going to fall in love again. This was different than it was with Andrew (her boyfriend). This may be her one true love.
He took her to a gazebo in the park where he had hung Christmas lights and had a candlelit dinner inside (JC always was the romantic one of *NSYNC). She was different from the other girls; she was special to him.
“This is beautiful!” exclaimed Paige as he took off the blindfold.
“It better be it took the guys and me all afternoon,” he joked.
“Well, I certainly love it,” Paige said as she jumped into his arms.
“Thank You,” he said as he wrapped his arms around her.
“No, Thank You, Sweetheart,” she said.
“Your Welcome, Babe,” he said as he looked into her eyes then kissed her sweet lips.
~ Almost One Year Later ~
“I love you, Sweetheart,” she said into her cell phone wanting to hug and kiss her boyfriend.
“I love you, too, Babe, but we have to finish this album up while we’re in California and then you’ll be back in my arms,” JC said lovingly.
“I have something to tell you when you get home,” she said nervously to her boyfriend.
“Me too,” he said with that strong, masculine voice Paige loved.
“Bye, I love you and miss you, Sweetheart,” Paige said.
“I love you and miss you, too, Babe,” JC said.
Little did they know what they we’re going to tell each other was going to change both their lives.
~ One Week Later ~
“Lucy, I’m home,” JC joked as he walked into the house.
“Why hello, Ricky,” Paige said as she played along with the joke.
“We’re going someplace special tonight,” JC said as he pulled her close to him.
“Where?” Paige asked the one person she truly loved.
“Surprise!” exclaimed JC.
They then kissed with all the passion and love in their hearts. It was their one-year anniversary of when they met backstage. He was taking her first to the gazebo they ate dinner at on their second date, then back home to watch “Titanic” the movie of their first date, after that was the moment he would ask her.
~ That Night After Titanic ~
“This was the best date ever,” Paige said as she cuddled up in JC’s arms.
“There’s more,” he whispered softly.
“What?” asked Paige.
He got up from the couch, got down on one knee and said:
“I love you with all my heart and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Paige, will you marry me?” he asked waiting for the answer hoping it was yes.
“Yes, I will marry you,” she said.
They kissed each other lovingly.
“You wanted to tell me something?” JC said remembering their call from a week ago.
“Yes, sit down, Joshua,” she said. He knew something was wrong because she only used his full name when there was.
“What is it, Babe?” he asked as he sat down next to her.
“I, I’m p-p-pregnant, JC,” Paige stuttered.
“What, is it mine?” he asked.
“Yes, it’s yours, JC,” she told him as she took his hand in hers.
“Are you sure?” asked JC.
“Yes, I found out last week, the day you called,” she told her new fiance`.
“It’s alright,” he said pulling her close as she broke down in tears.
She could feel his heartbeat and knew everything was going to be all right. They stayed like this until Paige fell asleep, then he picked her up and laid her down on the bed upstairs. He lay down beside her and closed his eyes.
~ Next Morning ~
She stumbled down the stairs to make breakfast before JC got up. She wondered if last night had actually happened. She then realized it had as she made her and JC eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee.
He came downstairs as quietly as possible 20 minutes later. She didn’t hear him or even realize he was up until she felt his arms wrap around her from behind. He scared her so much, but when she turned and he kissed her she forgot about being scared.
Here I forgot to give you this last night,” JC said handing her a red velvet ring box. She opened it and squealed. Inside was a 7-karat pink diamond engagement ring.
“Oh, JC, it’s beautiful!” she exclaimed.
“Thanks, I shopped for weeks looking for the right one,” he blushed.
“It’s shaped like a heart too, oh, JC it’s perfect,” she said.
“It’s engraved inside also,” JC told his wife-to-be.
She took it off and read the inside engraving it said: ‘For the one true love of my life, From the bottom of my heart, Love, JC.’
“This makes it even more special,” she said as they sat down to breakfast and she put the ring back on.
She found it funny he hadn’t mentioned the baby, so she brought it up.
“JC, when are we getting married? I don’t want to look pregnant in my wedding photos,” she told him.
“How far along are you?” he asked.
“A little over a month,” she said.
“In two months then?” he asked.
“Ok, today’s the 24th of June, so the 24th of August, then,” she said.
“Great,” he confirmed.
~ Almost Two Months Later ~
It was one week before their wedding at the gazebo they had had their 2nd date and their 1st anniversary at of when they met. This was the place they both wanted to be married at considering the two intimate times they had there.
Brittany and Paige were picking out make-up for the wedding while Justin and JC were playing video games at Justin’s house.
“So, what about pink lipstick and purple eyeshadow?” Brittany asked, who like her best friend never wore blush.
“Perfect, the eyeshadow almost matches the flowers on my dress and the color of you, Christina, Angela, and Sarah. Since you’re the Maid of Honor, you should get to pick,” Paige said excitedly.
“Great I’ll buy them,” Brittany said.
“Thank You,” she told her friend.
“By the way who’s the best man,” asked Brittany.
“Justin, but first, Joey will walk up with Sarah, then Chris and Angela, then Christina and Lance, then you and Justin, then since JC will already be up there, my dad and I,” she explained.
~ Wedding Day ~
JC paced back and forth while he waited for Lance to pick up him, Justin, Joey, Chris at Justin’s. Finally, Lance arrived, 5 minutes later than expected, and they all headed toward the park.
Paige waited for Brittany and Christina to pick up her, Angela, and Sarah at her and JC’s place.
They had been away from each other for a week now and couldn’t wait to see each other.
They each had a small closed in gazebo, one for Paige and the bridesmaids, the other for JC and the groomsmen. These had been set up just for their wedding.
As Brittany walked out of the girls’ gazebo and Justin walked out of the boys’ gazebo to meet in the middle, JC and Paige’s hearts both skipped a beat. As the music began to play announcing that Paige and her father were walking down the aisle JC turned, saw Paige walking toward him and smiled.
~ A Little Later ~
“I do,” JC said holding Paige’s delicate hands.
“I do,” Paige said looking deep into his eyes.
“You may kiss your bride,” the minister said to JC. As he did it seemed like they were the only two people in the world.
“I now show you, for the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Scott Chasez!” exclaimed the minister.
They ran down the aisle and both remembered how they met, she was a fan seeking an autograph, he was her favorite *NSYNC member, but that all changed with one handshake.
~ Six Months Later ~
“JC, Sweetheart, its time!” Paige yelled at her husband.
“Get into the car!” JC exclaimed as he picked up his Mustang keys.
~ At Hospital, Just After Birth ~
“Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Chasez, twins, one boy and one girl,” the doctor said handing JC the girl and Paige the boy.
“You name her JC and I’ll name him,” Paige said.
“Allison Marie Chasez,” JC said.
“You used my middle name as her’s, thank you,” Paige said looking at him lovingly.
“I thought you’d like that,” he said.
“Bradley Scott Chasez,” Paige announced.
“You did the same for me, thanks,” he said.
“I had it planned for a boy all along.”
“I had it planned for a girl.”
“We got both.”
“I love you, Babe,” JC told his wife.
“I love you, too, Sweetheart,” Paige said to her husband.
They kissed and then as JC looked into Allison’s eyes and Paige looked into Bradley’s they both knew life was going to be perfect from then on. Then they looked into each other’s eyes and smiled. Life was wonderful for both of them, they not only had each other, his music, and a home, but two new additions to the Chasez family tree.
At that very moment Justin, Lance, Chris, Joey, and Brittany all walked in to see the babies. Then they all thought of the great lives they had and smiled.
