Justin Timberlake released a heavy pent up sigh. "I know this doesn't seem fair, but I feel that you give your fans everything of yourself, and I end up with the leftovers." Britney was confused and dismayed with Justin's stark declaration. All this time she thought their relationship was going great, but apparently she's clueless about her boyfriend's true feelings.
"Like what do you mean, honey? Like you know I love you." Britney walked over to Justin, who was staring out of her bedroom's glass sliding doors. She slid her arms around his waist and rested her cheek on his upper back. His special scent wafted towards her nostrils. She inhaled deeply, loving the intimacy of it, and thought again how lucky she was to have him as her boyfriend. That notion made her press her body closer to his.
Justin tried to ignore the feel of her breasts crushed against him and the way her hips were jamming against his legs. That was the way to insanity because he knew that he 'can't get no satisfaction' from her in the carnal sense. However, every breath she took just made him more aware of her sexy body, and that fact reminded him of how the whole world was probably laughing at him right this minute.
He gritted his teeth and blurted out, "Why did you have to say in that press conference that you were a virgin? Couldn't you just have avoided answering the question at all? You could have said, 'No comment.' "
Britney was immediately contrite. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry! Like my brains must have been mush that day!"
Justin didn't say anything, and that made Britney feel even worse. Her thoughtless comment had caused such an uproar internationally that even she was shocked. Her statement had ended up on all the tabloids' front pages and the lifestyle sections of the more respectable newspapers. She hadn't realized that people were so interested in her sex life. "Sweetie, you know I didn't mean to say anything about something so personal. Like I feel really bad. Like please say you'll forgive me."
Justin exploded. He turned around to grip her arms. Britney was taken aback with his sudden action. "You don't get it, do you? I know your career needs to grow, but the promotion of your new sexy image is getting to me. I have to watch with the whole world as your hot photos and magazine spreads make all the guys hard as a rock! And then in your 'Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know' video, I had to grin and bear it as you horsed around with that hunk all over the beach, wearing a microscopic crocheted bikini that had your breasts practically falling out! And then there was that "I'm a Slave 4U' video with that orgy scene where you looked like you were coming like anything! Isn't there any part of you that I know is mine and just mine alone?!!" Justin released her arms and raked his fingers through his hair. "And then you had to announce to the whole world that you're a virgin!!! Christ!!!"
Britney was quiet because the gravity of the situation was made clear to her when Justin cursed. He never cursed in front her because he was brought up to be a gentleman. Then she was suddenly hit with an insight. Justin's reaction was actually a combination of his male ego, frustrated lust and a primal need to know that a part of her would always be exclusively his.
She realized now that her sexier mature image, as well as the publicity that it demanded was robbing them both of special intimate moments in their relationship. And she hadn't considered the repercussions of how her innocent revelation of being a virgin would affect how the public viewed her boyfriend. They probably thought he was a limp dick or something for not making love to her.
Actually, when they first got together, Britney was the one who had requested that they don't have sex yet because she didn't feel that she was ready. To his credit, Justin had respected her wishes. What he didn't seem to realize was that his restraint proved to her that he got it all over the other guys who were constantly trying to get her attention. And that just made him even more special to her. On the other hand, she was reasonably sure that he had been faithful to her, despite the astronomical number of girls throwing themselves at him, since he was one of the most popular members of the hit boy band N 'Sync.
Britney thought, 'Oh wow, like no wonder Justin is so testy. Aside from not getting any and having to say no to all those girls, like he had to contend with imagining men and boys drooling over my pictures, and then like watching me kiss and do stuff with all those other guys in my videos.' She decided that it was time to shed her overprotected upbringing and make it up to him, and make him feel that he's the only guy she wants to be with forever and ever, in short, he was the guy born to make her happy.
"Come over here, baby..." And then she hooked her index finger in his pant's belt loop, before slowly walking backwards until the back of her knees hit the king-size bed. "I think it's like time to reward my big boy for good behavior."
Justin's heart raced with this latest development, but he wanted to make sure. "What do you mean, Britney?"
Britney was suddenly hit with a wave of shyness, causing her to look down and mumble, "Well, you know..." Then she rushed out, "Like I think we should go all the way this time. I mean, like, we're all alone in my house. Your mom and my mom are shopping together and won't be back till tonight. So like we practically have the place all to ourselves the whole afternoon."
Justin was struck speechless for a moment before he managed to find his voice, which was an unromantic croak, "Are you sure, babe?"
Britney looked up and let her eyes say it. She nodded quietly. "I'm sure, Justin."
Justin could only groan out, "Oh babe," and bent his head to kiss her ravenously. But his plan went awry. With a giggle, Britney avoided his lips and gave him a playful push that forced him to sit at the edge of the bed. He resisted a strong urge to curse and crush that soft sexy body against his, that same body that had been driving him crazy for years.
