Being A Braun - (Justin Bieber Fanfic)

Chapter 25

I skipped down the corridor, pulling Justin with me, and opened the door to studio 7. I held it open for everyone to come in, then made them all sit down. Usher was back in there too, he greeted everyone with hugs. Justin was grinning already, i could tell he was really excited to hear it.

I nodded at Usher. "Okay go for it."

"You ready?"

"Yeah." I felt Justin squeeze my hand and i suddenly felt a bit nervous. Family and friends are often seem to be the scariest audiences. And i really wanted them to like it. Essentially it was my song, although i didn't fully write it, and i wanted especially Justin (since he was a artist himself) to like it. I hoped then that maybe everyone else would too.

Usher pressed play and the music started up. I shyly played with the ends of my hair and listened as my voice came in. I watched as Scooter and Fredo started tapping their feet to the beat. Justin let a smile form on his face and he nodded his head along with my voice.

"Wow." He grinned. They all rocked their bodies to the song and i couldn't help but smile. Justin closed his eyes and i could tell he was listening really carefully. He moved his head as i did a powerful note, and he smiled.

The song came to an end and i focused my eyes on them, waiting for their feedback. They all beamed at me.

"Good job Ri." Scooter praised. He nodded his head at Usher, who was looking pretty please. "I love it."

Fredo nodded in agreement. "Love it Riri!!"

I laughed and thanked them. I then looked directly at Justin, waiting for his feedback.

He looked right into my eyes. "Damn, i could listen to that song all day." He grinnned, tackling me into a hug.

They stayed at the studio with me for the rest of the day, and we entirely finished up the song. Scooter called LA and sent him a copy, and he also loved it, which was amazing. We set a date for it to be released on itunes and i was beyond excited for that day. Wow my very first song. I so hoped people would like it.



The next morning i slept in till about 10am. When i did wake, i slid out of bed and went straight downstairs. I entered the kitchen.

"Morning." I smiled, mid-yawn. I was surprised to see that Justin was already there.

"Hey beautiful." He grinned. He hopped off the breakfast bar chair and pulled me into a hug. "Did you sleep well?"

I nuzzled my face into his chest and breathed in his scent. Oh how i missed him. "Yeah fine thanks."

"Good." He let his hands fall to the small of my back and i lifted my head from his chest to look up at him.

"What are you doing here this early?"

"Its 10am." He laughed. He squeezed my cheeks. "You're really not a morning person huh?"

I grinned. "You only just figured that out? Um where is everyone?" I frowned.

"Adam went to work, Nonna and Pa are out. But your Mom's in there," He pointed to the dining room. "And Scooter just went to get the mail."

"Ahhh okay."

He smiled down at me and i gazed into his chocolate-brown eyes. He stroked the side of my cheek with the back of his hand and we were quiet for a moment.

I couldn't help thinking, did friends really act like this with eachother? I mean i know we're best friends, but could we ever be more than that? Quite recently i'd longed to be more than that..

"So i was wondering." He began. Interrupting my train of thoughts. "Im invited to this premiere tonight, in New York."

I looked at him a little sad, trying to hide my dissapointment. I only had one day left in Atlanta before we were going back home to Denver, i wanted to hang with him on my last night. If he was going to go to New York, i would be a little upset.

"Don't look so upset, you don't know what i was gonna say yet." He laughed. I let a small smile tug on my lips. "I was gonna ask you'd like to come with me. Be my date?" My heart fluttered a little inside my chest.

My eyebrows shot up in realisation of what he just asked me. "New York?!"

"Yeah." He nodded, biting down on his lip. "I wasn't going to go, but if you come too and be my date then i will."

Scooter walked in, holding a massive box in his hand. I probably would have blushed as Justin was still holding my waist and we were of pretty close proximity, but i was still so bewildered by his proposal, that i didnt.

"Oh um, i hope I'm not interrupting anything." Scooter smirked.

I shook my head and then returned to the conversation. "Oh my gosh i'd love to go with you!"

"Thats great."

"What's great?" Scooter questioned.

"Justin invited me to go with him to the premiere in New York tonight. Can i go?" I begged. I flashed him my best smile. "Pleaaassseeee?"

Scooter pressed his lips together. "Uhh, well i guess. But you'll have to ask your Mom first. Mom's still in charge of you."

"Yeah she is." My Mom laughed as she walked into the kitchen with an empty cup of coffee in her hands. She raised her eyebrows. "What do you want?"

"Moooooommm. Pretty please with a cherry on top can i go with Justin tonight to New York for the Harry Potter premiere?"

She glanced at Scooter who shrugged.

"Please! I promise i will be really good and i'll text you every single hour."

 She sighed. "Well, we're leaving to go home tomorrow Ri."

"I know. But can't just get a flight home from New York? I'll be home the same time as you i promise." I pleaded.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at Justin. "Will there be anyone accompanying you?"

"Yeah of course." Justin assured. "Goody and my bodyguard Kenny will be there."

I smiled sweetly and looked back at my Mom. "So can i go?"

She taunted me for a second by miming a thinking act. "Fine. You may go. So long as you're back in Denver by tomorrow night."

"Thank you, thank you!" I squealed, I let go of Justin and gave her a big hug. "Oh my gosh." 

She laughed and walked away. I went back and hugged Justin again.

 "I'm so excited Jay. It is going to be amazing!"

Scooter shook his head playfully. "Hey Ri, if you can unlatch yourself from him for a second, this is for you." He held out the box he had carried in earlier.

"What is it?"

"Its from River Island. Loads of clothes and goodies free for you." He replied.

"Woah thats awsome. But why?" I frowned. I took the box and began opening it up to find loads of cute clothes.

"They do that." Justin smiled. "Because if celebrities are seen wearing their stuff, other people will want to buy them."

Ah makes sense. Wait.

"But im not a celebrity?"


So Justin and i went shopping -with Kenny for safety reasons- and we bought our outfits. The whole time we were walking, Justin's hand was resting on the small of my back and i wont lie, i kinda liked it. I was beginning to think what Ryan had told me at the Christmas party really was true. I think he really did like me. Everything added up to that conclusion.

And of course i liked him back.. When he was around i felt safe, and happy. My heart started to flutter and i felt like i just wanted to smile. I thought back to Jamie. He never made me feel like that, ever.

We drove to the shop, and i picked out a short, light-blue strapples dress with a pair of nude heels. Justin chose a pair of jeans, a blueish jacket and a plain top. We looked good together.

Nobody really notice us in the shop, but when we came to leave, we noticed a lot of people were crowding outside taking pictures. Justin grabbed my hand and we pushed out of the shop behind Kenny. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" Justin smirked when we got into the car.

I put my hand over my mouth and giggled. "It was just- haha. I've watched that happen to people on the tv before but its so funny to have it happen to you."

He raised his eyebrows. "Get used to it. It happens all of the time."
