"Jus, I need a favor. I was supposed to babysit Gus tonight but I have a date so can you please watch him?" Daphne begged. "Sure, Daph. What's the address?" Justin asked then wrote it down.
Justin jumped into the shower and changed.
"Dad do you have to go out tonight?" Gus asked.
"Yes, Gus, but i'm sure you'll have fun with your babysitter." The
doorbell
rang. Gus ran to the door and flung it open.
"Dad, you got me an angel!" Gus crowed and Brian walked to the door. He
saw
the hottest boy he had ever seen.
"Hi, I'm Justin. Daphne couldn't make it, so she sent me. I hope you
don't
mind."
"Not at all," Gus said grabbing Justin's hand and leading him into the
house.
"Okay, I'm going to go" Brian told Justin and he walked out. "Nice
car"
Brian said as he got into his car.
"I like it" Justin replied as he closed the door. "So, Gus, what do you
want
to do?" Justin asked.
"Can we watch a movie?" Gus asked.
"Sure! Why don't you go put one in and I'll get us some snacks," Justin
said
and went into the kitchen. Gus ran into the living room. When Justin
came
back, he handed Gus a bowl of ice cream.
"So what did you put in Gus?" Justin asked.
"The Mighty Ducks. It's my favorite movie," Gus said.
"Mine, too!" Justin told him.
"Brian, what's going on?" Michael asked. "Nothing, Mikey, I just can't get Sunshine out of my mind." "Who's Sunshine?" Mikey demanded. "Gus' babysitter. Listen, I'm going to go Mikey." And Brian walked out of Babylon.
When Brian walked into his house he saw Justin drying his hands.
"Where's Gus?" Brian asked.
"He's in bed. Why, do you let him stay up later then ten?" Justin
asked.
"No, but he usually puts up a fight," Brian told him."
"I read him a story and he went right to sleep," Justin said with a
smile.
"Oh, can you give this to Gus?" Justin asked as he handed him a drawing
of
Gus.
"This is really good," Brian noted.
"If you want to see more, I have a show on Friday."
"Alright, Justin, do you want to go to dinner with me and Gus
tomorrow"
Brian asked.
"I'd like that. Well... I gotta go. Later, Brian."
"Later," Brian whispered as he watched Justin drive away.
Justin picked up his phone as soon as he walked into the door.
"Sunshine!" a voice hollered through the phone.
"Hi, Deb" Justin replied meekly.
"Where have you been? I've been worried sick!" Deb screamed.
"I was babysitting" Justin said. "Sorry I worried you, Deb."
"It's alright, Sunshine. I'm glad you're doing so well...I mean you're
seventeen and you live alone and you've been through a lot and I just
worry"
Debbie said all at once. "Come by the diner tomorrow morning and meet
my son
and his friends." Debbie ordered out of nowhere. "Alright!" Justin
laughed and
he hung up. Justin took off his clothes and crawled into bed.
Brian woke up, took a shower, put on his suit and went to wake up Gus. "Dad, stop!" Gus yelled between laughs as Brian tickled him awake. "Come on, it's time to get ready for school" Brian said. "Dad, when will we see Justin again?" Gus asked. "Tonight and Friday for sure, Gus," Brian replied. "And he left that drawing for you," Brian told him. "Cool!" Gus got up and changed really fast and he rushed downstairs.
After Brian dropped Gus off at school he went to the diner and made his
way
to the booth.
"Hey guys," Brian drawled as he sat down.
"Sunshine, you came!" Debbie cried and they all looked to see Debbie
embracing a slim blond figure.
"Deb, I can't breath," Justin choked out.
"Oh, sorry. Come meet my son and his friends," Debbie said, and with
that she
dragged Justin to the booth.
"Hi, Brian," Justin said when he saw the man.
"Hey Sunshine. How do you know Deb?" Brian asked.
"Long story. I'll tell you later tonight," Justin said.
"Well, I'll let you boys introduce yourselves," Debbie said and left.
Brian moved over and pulled Justin next to him.
"I'm Emmett, Cutie, and this is Ted," Emmett said pointing to the man
next to
him. "And that over on the end is Michael."
"Oh, it's nice to meet you all. Well, I really gotta go," Justin said.
"I'll
see you and Gus tonight, Brian."
And Justin ran out. Brian looked out the window and saw a man up
against
Justin. He quickly ran outside.
"Let him go!" Brian ordered.
