Justin and Me

Chapter Three: Dinner And Dancing

I had a very good sleep. Dreams of Justin and me living together with his never-ending love. He was flooding my thoughts. I was really missing him so I called him. He answered and said, "hey babe, sorry I can't talk right now I'm really busy." "It's okay I'll call you later." I said disappointed. "I'm really sorry, I'll make it up to you I promise." Said Justin. "Alright, just called to say I love you and I miss you." "Babe, I miss you too. I'll call you later but we're going on a date tonight. Be ready by 7:00 p.m." "Ok love you Justin." "Love you too girl, bye." The phone went dead on the other line. I felt sad we couldn't be together but I realized how silly I was being. I mean, he has a life besides me right? I was just glad we were going out tonight. It was 9:00 a.m. so I had nothing but time to kill. I told my mom I was going to Laney's house. I walked alone thinking about Justin. He was ALWAYS on my mind. When I got to Laney's house I rang the doorbell and her mom answered. "Is Laney here?" I asked. "Of course she upstairs in her room, come on in." I swear her mom is the nicest lady ever. I ran upstairs and surprised Laney. "Hey girl what's up?" I asked her. "Not much just finishing homework." "Sounds fun." I said sarcastically. Laney was taking summer school classes to get ahead for next year. We were juniors and she was studying to become an English teacher, she had a scholarship going I was so proud of her. "When you're done want to go to the park?" I asked her. "Sure, I'm almost done just give me 10 minutes." I grabbed a magazine from the floor and sat on her bed. All this Selena and Justin crap was starting to tick me off. "What's wrong?" Laney asked. "Nothing, just this drama and rumors are making me upset." "Well you know they're not true, Justin loves you unconditionally." "Yeah, I know." I said. "Well I'm ready to go." "Alright, let's go." We went downstairs and we both said bye to Laney's mom. We walked outside and it was absolutely beautiful. It was silent as we just stared at the sky. Finally Laney broke the silence by asking, "you're really lucky, you know that right?" "Why?" I asked her. "Because you're dating Justin freaking Bieber." I chuckled and said, "I'm lucky not because I'm dating a star, but because he loves me no matter what." "That's deep." Laney said. We both smiled and got on the swings. We just talked mostly about random things. Love. Our friendship. Life. It was one of those awesome moments where you know that this person is going to be in your life forever. I was so glad to have a friend like her. We got bored of the swings so we decided to walk around the field. What was special about this park was that is was the school park that Laney and I first became friends. We saw some cute guys checking us out. They started talking and flirting with us. We weren't interested besides we were already taken. We ignored them and walked away. "That was weird." I said. Laney laughed and we sat in the grass. We started making daisy chains just like the second grade. Those were good times. I don't know why she was being so quiet so I asked her, "what's wrong?" "Well me and Austin are having a lot of problems. I was shocked. They had been dating for three years and never had a single fight. Austin was the nicest guy, why would they be fighting? I asked her, "what kind of problems?" "Well I saw him with Natalia the other day and they were kissing. Laney burst into tears and I hugged her. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could he do this to her? "He doesn't know what he's losing right now." I said to her. "I know it doesn't make it any better but I will always be here for you." "Thanks Ali I'm so glad it's you that I picked to be my best friend." She smiled at me and we stood up. We started walking back home. "I didn't want to ever talk to him or see his face again, but I need to end this today." Laney said. "Do what you need to do girl and I'll be right beside you." "Can we go to his house right now?" She asked. "Sure." I said. We stopped by her house and she grabbed all the things he had ever given her and the scrapbook of them. We started walking to his house. When we got there I knocked on the door. Austin saw Laney and suspected nothing was wrong although he looked very worried about something. And I think I knew what. I opened the door all the way and Laney and I saw Natalia sitting on the couch. "Just what I thought." Laney said. "Here have your stuff, jerk." She shoved the box in his arms and turned to leave. "Don't even think about calling her because she doesn't want you anymore. And if you thought it was you that could be there for her always, think again. It's me." I said. Then Laney and I both stormed off. I'm glad Austin didn't bother chasing after Laney. That would have only made her more upset. "Glad that's over." Laney said. I walked Laney home and went back to mine. I sat in my room a little upset at what had happened today. Then Justin called. I answered it and said, "hey boy what's up?" "Well just got a short break and wanted to call you." "That is so sweet." I gushed. He chuckled and said, "anything for you girl." I loved this boy so much. "What are you so busy with?" I asked. "Recording a new song." He said. "What's it called?" I asked. "Next To You. It's dedicated to you girl." "Oh my gosh, are you serious? That is so sweet." I giggled. "You're so cute when you laugh." Justin said. That only made me giggle more. "Aye, I gotta go I love you so much." Justin said. "Love you too. See you tonight. Bye." I said back. I clicked the phone off. How could I be this lucky? It was 4:00 p.m. so I decided to pick out my outfit. I chose a pair of jeans and a tank-top. I had no idea where Justin was taking me. That was one of the things I loved about him. He was always full of surprises. I went downstairs and saw my mom doing the laundry. I helped fold the clothes and finish sweeping the kitchen. I told my mom I was going out with Justin tonight. She said it was alright, but to be home by 11:00 p.m. Another two hours went by, and there was a knock at the door. I didn't hear it because I accidentally fell asleep on the couch. My mom must have answered the door and let Justin in because the next thing I knew I woke up to a warm hand stroking my hair. "Wakey wakey." I heard Justin say. I go up and stretched. "You're so cute when you're asleep." Justin said. I giggled and held his hand. "We're leaving now Mrs. Zavala." Justin said. "Please, call me C.C." My mom said. "Alright C.C. I promise to have her home by 11:00." Justin told my mom. We walked out to his car. He held my hand the whole ride. He took me inside a restaurant and we sat down in the private section. He had to wear a hoodie until we got to the back room. I laughed at how silly he looked. He asked, "why are you laughing?" "You just look like a ninja on a mission bring so secretive." He chuckled and looked at his menu. After a couple of minutes he asked me, "what are you ordering babe?" I told him, "the spaghetti looks really good." Just then a waiter came over and asked us what we wanted. Justin ordered for me and got the same thing. I could tell the waiter was dying to ask Justin something. But he just walked away awkwardly and came right back with a piece of paper. "Will you please sign this? My daughter is a crazy fan." Asked he waiter. "Sure." Justin said and signed the paper. Justin held my hand and stared into my eyes, completely content. I loved it when he did that. It was so cute. After a while the waiter came back with our food and we ate silently. Well, I should say I ate silently. Justin just kept staring at me. "Is there something on my face?" I asked him. "Yah let me get it for you." he said then leaned in for a kiss. His lips were so soft against mine. This was the first time I felt weird kissing him. We were in front of people. It was starting to bother me. After a while he felt me leaning away and asked what was wrong. "There's people here. It feels weird." "I'm sorry Ali. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." he said. "it's okay. I'm just being overly sensitive. If you want to kiss me then go ahead." "Are you sure it won't bother you?" He asked. "It's fine." I told him and leaned in for another kiss. I was so happy. We finished eating and then Justin pulled me onto the dance floor. We started dancing and holding each other. I still couldn't believe he picked me out of the millions of other girls that wanted him. I rested my head against his chest. I felt him smile. "These last couple of days have been amazing." Justin said. We danced until we couldn't feel the ground. It was almost time for me to go home so Justin led me out the back to his car. When we got in the car I asked Justin, "Do you like Selena?" "As a friend but shawty she means nothing compared to what you mean to me." He smiled and kissed my forehead. When we got to my house he walked me up to my house and kissed me goodnight. "Goodnight girl, I love you. He said. "Love you too." I said. I walked into the house and I was so exhausted that I fell asleep in my bed with shoes on and everything.
