Kidnapped

Part 5

The sun came up and shined through the window hitting Mandy in the face. Mandy opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times before rubbing the sleep from her eye. She looked at the clock. It was 9:45a.m She figured she should get up. As she was sitting on her bed she looked around her. Her room was black and white. She glanced at the far wall where she had hung the framed poster of Lance Katy had given her a long time ago.


Mandy smiled and thought of how much she liked him. But clearly how much he had to hate her after this. Mandy slipped her slippers on and headed down stairs. She could smell so one cooking breakfast. Expecting to see Kim as she turned the corer she was shock to see Katy instead. “I didn’t know you could cook?” Mandy said looking over the shoulder. “I’m a good cook I used to watch my grandmother all the time. “Then why do we let Kim do the cooking?” Mandy asked. Katy shrugged. “Where’s Justin?” Mandy asked. “Down stairs with the others. Me and him aren’t seeing eye to eye anymore.” Katy said flipping a pancake. “Oh what happened last night?” Mandy asked.


“It’s not what happened but what didn’t happen.” Katy said. Mandy looked at her in awe and confusion. Katy noted the look on her friend’s face and went on to explain. “He’s so into getting laid and I’m well not.” Katy said. “Oh I see” Mandy said, “I know how you feel Lance hates me and every time he talks to me it’s about him getting some.”


Katy let out a sigh. “Is that all guys thank about?” She asked. “Is what all guy think about?” Brandi asked coming into the conversation. “Getting laid?” Katy asked again. “Yeah pretty much.” Brandi said taking a seat next to Mandy. “Why do you ask?” Brandi asked. “That’s all Justin seems to want but I want something more, like love.” Katy said flipping a pancake. Kim came down and joined them. “I’m glad to see some one else doing the cooking.” Kim said. Katy smiled, “I thought you could use a break. Hey why don’t two of you take these pancakes down to the guys and then get the sound stage ready.” Katy said pointing to a pile of pancake she had made.


“I’ll go!” Mandy said. “I’ll go with you.” Kim said turning to head for the basement. Mandy ran past her and beat her down the steps. “What are you smoking?” Chris asked a Mandy came running down the steps. “Nothing.” Mandy said setting the pancake, plates, and syrup on the coffee table. The guys began to devour them with in seconds. She placed a bowl of water on the floor for Busta. “Okay?” Kim said walking into the sound stage.


The girls got everything ready and hurried to eat so they could get rolling. “First they need to bathe.” Katy said. They agreed. “But how are we going to do that?” Mandy asked. “Well if each one of use take a guy, well one of us will have two, anyway we can each take a bathroom and put them in the and then wait outside the door.” Brandi said. “I guess that works, but I get Justin!” Katy yelled. “I get Lance.” Mandy said. “I’ll watch Chris and Joey.” Brandi said. “I’m not taking JC, there’s no way.” Kim protested.


After much talking they finally got Kim to look after JC. Which didn’t please JC either. Katy took Just up to the bathroom next to her room so her could clean up, Brandi took Joey and Chris to the other up stair bathrooms so the could both take one at the same time. After all each bathroom had it’s own water heater, because Katy wouldn’t have it any other way. Mandy took Lance to the bathroom on the 1st floor and Kim stayed down stair so JC could use that bathroom.


Katy hurried Justin into the bathroom. “You want to come with me.” He asked with a smile. “No not this time sweetie just get in there so we can get to work.” Pushing him in there then shutting the door. Kay waited out side the door and talked to Brandi. Brandi was petting Busta the whole time while she waited for the guys. It guys took over an hour to get out of the showers and get ready. Justin kept wining about his hair being frizzy and Joey was so happy that they had brought him his favorite shirt to wear.


Once everything got calmed down the girl lead them into the sound stage to begin working again. “Do we have to?” JC wined. “Yes now stop wining before I hurt you.” Kim said. JC shot her a mean look before walking in the small room with his four friends. “Okay let’s see if we can get this done today so we can film tomorrow.” Brandi said hitting the button to talk. The guys shook their head yes and began to get ready.


“One, two, Three….” Justin said and they began. The music was beautiful as it came from their mouths. The girls just looked at them in awe before turning to each other and smiling. Things were going great when lunchtime came around. They decided to let the guys take a break and eat a bit before going on. The song itself was sounds sweeter than the girl could have ever imagined it to be. There was just a little bit left to do and they tomorrow they would start on the video concept.


Kim couldn’t help but notice that JC was being awfully quite today and that worried her. It wasn’t like him to not brag and be so listen and take orders. He was up to something and Kim knew it. While they guys sat around eating turkey sandwiches, Kim and Katy were in the mixing room playing around with the song. Brandi was sitting on Chris’s lap helping him eat in sandwich, feeding small pieces to Busta every now and then. Mandy was sitting next to Lance watching him eat. She loved to watch him no matter what he was doing to her he was perfect in every way a man could be. But she wouldn’t let him know how she really felt at least not yet anyway.


It wasn’t long till Katy cam bouncing out of the Mixing room and plopped down on Justin’s lap. “Okay we need to redo and few things when do the end of the song. Then that’ll be done and we can start on the video.” Katy said running her soft hands through Justin’s curls. “So how much longer are we going to be here?” JC asked harshly. “I’d say 2 or 3 more days if every thing goes alright.” Kim replied. The smile disappeared from Justin’s face. He had been hoping it would be longer. He was starting to like being with Katy. He glanced at Chris who had the same blankness on his face.


Katy didn’t note the look on Justin’s face. She had been turned around to face JC. The girl rounded them up again and pushed them into the sound stage. Mandy gave Justin the “go ahead.”. Justin opened his mouth but nothing came out. He sat there silent as if he’d forgotten the words. His stare directed toward Katy, He finally began to sing. Softly at first then it got a bit louder. After only a few set backs they got the song mostly done. The only thing left to do was to mix it in the mixing room.


JC was now eager to help mix, for he was hoping to get out of here as soon as her could. Mandy stayed in the mixing both with him to help him if she could. Brandi had a sudden infatuation with Chris and was sitting next to him on the couch taking in his every word. Katy was sitting on Justin’s lap playing with Busta and watching Kim and Joey. Kim and Joey were playing play station. Joey was winning.


In side the mixing room, Mandy was trying to start up a conversation with JC. Which was hard than it seemed. “So why don’t you like Kim?” Mandy asked sliding the things up and down. “She bossy and she has a huge ego.” JC said without looking up from the board in front of him. Mandy laughed she had heard those same words before from Kim about JC. “Oh, Could it be that she’s a lot like you?” Mandy asked. JC turn and shot her a mean look, “I’m not like that.” He said.


Mandy looked down, “Are you sure about that?” JC turned to her and placed one hand on his hip, “Are you saying I am?” He asked sounding a little mad. “No, I’m just saying both of you bug me.” Mandy said going back to the mixing. “It’s all her fault! She’s so … perfect!” JC said laying his head down on the board and started to cry. “Oh, My you like her don’t you?” Mandy asked shocked.


“No, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” JC said wiping a tear from his cheek. “Oh, please I’ve been around guy along enough to no when they’re lying.” Mandy said wrapping her arm around him to comfort him. “Suppose your right. What can I do she hates me?” JC asked. Mandy stopped to think. “You can start by being nice to her.” Mandy said. JC remand silent. “Then you could tell her how you feel.” She continued. “You think?” JC asked. “I know.” Mandy said with a smile. “Come on let’s get to work.” Mandy said turning back to the board.


As Katy sat on Justin’s lap, he couldn’t help but think about what they had said earlier. Katy was something special, something he’s never had. And now he was afraid to lose it all, He saw something in her he hadn’t seen that night at the Roxbarry. He wanted to keep her but knew he couldn’t, but he vowed he’d try. Across from them were Chris and Brandi, to seem to be thinking.


Chris ran his hand through Brandi’s soft brown hair. He to felt something for her but worried about his girlfriend, who was probably worried about him. He loved his girlfriend deeply, but the last few days, he began to have doubts about his feelings for both girls. Brandi rested her head agents his shoulder and he held her tight. He didn’t want to let go of her, but he knew he couldn’t hold on to her. Chris looked over at Justin and could tell he too was thinking kind of the same thing.


Justin was twisting one of Katy’s curls around his finger. Running the other hand across the soft flesh of her arm, up her neck and the through her hair. Katy’s skin tingled with his touch. Kim and Joey were too busy playing to note the sad mood the surrounded them. Lance on the other hand was studying Justin and Chris. He could se that there was going to be a problem when the time came to leave. He wasn’t sure he could leave either, for he had started to have feeling for one of the girls too.
Mandy glanced at her watch, and then at JC, “Are we about done?” She asked. “Yeah just about, what time is it?” JC asked. “10:30,” Mandy said holding out her watch. “We should hit the hay, I can finish tomorrow. It won’t take long.” JC explained. Mandy nodded and they both got up. “Are you going to talk to Kim?” JC asked before he opened the door. “I’ll see what I can do.” Mandy said following him into the main room.


“All done?” Brandi asked. “No, not quite.” JC said. “It won’t take long, it’s late we should go to bed now.” Mandy said. “Okay who sleeping were?” Kim asked hopping up. “I can sleep in your bed, Can’t I?” Justin asked wrapping his arms around her. “Of course.” Katy said with a smile. “If JC, Lance, and Joey sleep in there can I sleep with you?” Chris asked Brandi. Brandi looked at him her eyes all a glow. “Yes you can sleep in my room.” She said after much thought.


“Okay then it’s settled,” Mandy said heading for the steps. Kim led the others to their room. The girls felt safer with the guys but not to too safe, so this time they didn’t chain them but they did lock the basement door as well as the front door.
Brandi led Chris up to her room by the hand, Busta close behind. Once inside he glanced around at the funky decor. Then smiled when his eyes met Brandi. He walked over to her and put his arms around her and drew her close. “I can’t explain what I feel for you, mainly because I don’t know. But I do feel something.” Chris whispered. “What about your girlfriend?” Brandi asked resting her head on his chest. The room was silent for a minute and Brandi could her his heart beating from with in his chest. She felt it move with every breath he took.


Chris looked at her then ran his fingers through her silky hair. “I don’t know what to do? I feel something for both of you.” He said softly. “I can’t help you Chris.” Brandi said looking him in his eyes. “I know.” He sighed.


Mean while in Katy’s room. Justin slipped his pants off so he could sleep in his boxers. Katy slipped into her nightgown. They both got in bed. Katy was shocked; this was the first night since Justin had got here, that he hadn’t wanted to get laid. She was relieved, she knew she couldn’t keep saying no to him. But she couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking. Justin wrapped his arms around her waist and drew close to her.


The room fell quite. Katy felt his breath blowing softly on her neck. Justin laid still, her hair smelled good and he found it relaxing. Soon Katy felt his breath slowed and then Katy knew he had fallen asleep. She felt comfort in his strong arms and she too fell asleep.


Kim was tired and went right to sleep. Mandy too was tired and only stopped a minute to glance at Her lance poster before hopping into bed and turning off the light. The whole house grew dark.
