Blind Love

Chapter 8/ He's not right for you

"So is this the Justin you were at dinner with a few nights ago?" 

I swallowed hard, I was hooping my mom wouldn't ask this. 

"Um ye-yeah mom." 

She was silent for a few moments, probably thinking about what embarrassing thing she could say next. 

"So now Justin please tell me that you and my daughter are at least using some sort of protection, I work to many hours to help take care of a baby now.." 

I practically chocked on my water when she had said that. 

"MOM!" 

"Emily there's no need to scream, I'm just making sure we never finished that conversation the other day about it.." 

"OH MY GOD MOM JUST STOP TALKING PLEASE JUST STOP TALKING RIGHT NOW."  

"Mrs. Johnson me and Emily, we're um... We're not um..." 

"We are NOT screwing each other so here's an idea lets stop talking about it." 

I could feel how hot and red my cheeks were, I was beyond embarrassed and at that point I just wanted to crawl under a rock and stay there for the rest of my life. Just then I felt Justin's hand find mine and intertwine our fingers together under the table. I couldn't help but relax a little more from his gesture.  

"So Justin, Emily told me you were only staying until it was time for your tour, when are you leaving?"  

"I'm here for another week and a half and then I'm leaving for Paris to start the tour." 

My head shot up when he said Paris. It's been my dream to go to Paris, it didn't matter that I wouldn't be able to see the amazing things there, but just to say I've been to Paris and had dinner under the Eiffel Tower, come on that's every girls dream. 

"Your going to Paris?!" 

"Yep first concert for the believe tour...I love it there,it's amazing." 

"It must be amazing, getting to go travel around the world, not staying in the same place." 

"I love it, wouldn't wanna be doing anything else."  

What I would do to be able to do that. I mean I'll probably never even leave Canada. Not with my mom around, she barley lets me go outside to get the mail by myself.  

"Maybe one day you can come with me." 

Did he just say what I think he said?  

"Really?"  

"Yeah! Scooter wouldn't mind, and my mom would love having another girl around, it wouldn't be a big deal." 

"Oh my god ye-" 

"That's really nice of you Justin really, but I don't think that would be good for Emily, but what a very kind offer." 

I could practically feel the steam coming out of my ears, I hated when she did this. Make all my decisions for me. It's like she lays out my life for me and I don't get a say In anything.  

The rest of dinner I was silent, I knew if I said anything it turn into a screaming match with my mother. So instead I was silent the rest of the night, until I went to go walk Justin out.  

"Em what's wrong? You been quite all night." 

"Nothings wrong, I'm fine Justin, I'm just tired." 

"Emily..." 

He brought me closer to him, I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my head between his neck.
