The youngest Timberlake

6. Why?

As I walk pass my little cheer squad the only person who isn't present is Nate. Unsurprisingly. He left in a huff into the main house, I don't feel guilty though, at least he knows what it's like to have a 'relationship' flaunted in front of his face.

It's 4 pm and I'm sitting in my dressing room at Uncle Jimmy's show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In a few minutes he's going to come in and film a bit for the show with me, a lip sync conversation. We're going to be paying homage to Dad's *Nsync days by including Bye Bye Bye as one of the songs. Coming on The Tonight show is always the best, well that and going on Ellen. I think it's because I've known them both for as long as I can remember and they are more respectful then other interviewers who get on my nerves, remember Janice. Ugh. Silas, who apparently had nothing better to do, is sitting in the spinning chair across the room, on his phone. I have my hair in my signature sleek half up half down hair style and am wearing a cream dress with black lace and a high neckline. 

"Hey so what was with this morning?" Silas asks, not looking up at his phone. 

Great, I really don't want to have another conversation about Nate. 

"What about this morning?" I question, playing coy to the fact that I know exactly what he is talking about. 

"Don't act dumb, you and I both know exactly what happened. You. Mason Disick. Kissing. Sound familiar? Or were you so repulsed that the kiss was erased from you memory as a self preservation instinct?" 

"Oh that thing..."

"Yes that thing, and why won't you talk about it? I mean were you trying to make Nate jealous, because he may be a golden globe nominated actor, but he cannot hide his jealously" 

"It's not that big of a deal Si, it was a date, and a kiss. It's legit nothing to tell" 

He's not buying it. He has that look on his face where he questions my morality and severely judges me. 

"Whatever you say T, whatever you say" he says as he shakes his phone, turning his attention back to Instagram. 

"Wait. What do you mean by repulsive? He's not that bad"

Silas' head snaps up, away from his phone, his mind searching for an answer that won't offend me. Little does he know, I'm going to be pissed either way, because he has a knack for digging himself into a big ass hole. 

"Well, you see-" he starts until he's interrupted by a loud purposeful knock on my dressing room door. 

"Come in" I say giving Silas the evil eye as uncle jimmy bursts through the door, fully energised.

"WHO'S READY TO MAKE SOME MAGIC" he booms, clearly over excited to film this bit, not realising how that phrase sounded. His eyes widen. 

"TELEVISION LIPSYNC MAGIC THAT IS WOO"  Jimmy adds just as energised but slightly awkwardly.  Silas and I can't help but laugh as Jimmy hurries around the room in a frenzy collecting everything. He exits the room, ready to start the bit.
