What is it with this..predominantly *NSYNC theme to my dreams lately, eh? I did not listen to any *NSYNC before going to bed last night, but there Justin was in my dreams, babysitting Ferns kids across the road from my house wearing the coolest brown and green turtleneck and when I hugged him, his curls smelled like Herbal Essences Shampoo and ticked my face when I pressed my cheek against his.
I was supposed to be off doing something else, but my mother knew how badly I wanted to go over and see him so she did it.
"Go on over already! I know you really want to see him."
I was actually talking to him on the phone at the time and I don't even think I said goodbye to him, I just threw the cell down on the ground, grabbed my winter jacket and ran over to where he was.
Getting to Ferns house was a real challenge, despite it's handy across the road location. The driveway was GONE and I had to cross over the ditch on a peece of wooden plank that snapped when I made it to the end, but I grabbed on to this fence and didn't fall in the ditch.
I climbed the fence and thought "I hope Justin is peekin' out the window and can see what a graceful fence hopper I am."
Crazy.
I knock on the door and Dan (One of Fern's kids) answers, he gives me a huge hug and then Sidney rockets up the stairs, he is like two feet taller then he actually is in real life and his hug almost collapses my lung, he's squeezing me so tight.
Holly isn't there.
And then Justin comes up the stairs with this huge grin on his face and he hugs me like I've never been hugged before. He smells like Shampoo and Swiss Army and I throw my head back and laugh when his curls tickle my cheek.
With his arm around my waist, we walk around the house as Sid and Dan show us all sorts of things that they did today with Justin and he's the best babysitter ever and can he babysit again?
It is Justins turn to laugh because they don't know who he is or what he does and he relishes the idea of that.
