Reading is so amazing and if I get so into my book, it's hard to get me out of reading the book. My neck starts to ache from looking down for so long, so I stretch and roll my neck. In the time, Justin appeared in front of me staring at me. I jump back when I see him. I say "Geez. You scared me. How long have you been out?" Justin says "Oh. 5-10 minutes." I say "Oh. Well, I'm going to take my shower now." He nods and I get up. I bring my towel and grab Nike shorts and t-shirt since we will be at home for the rest of the day. I walk out and go in the bathroom. I take my shower. Have you ever noticed how you think a lot in the shower? I sure do. I just think about my life in the now and I daydream about thinks I wish could happen. I finish my shower, blow dry my hair, and bring my stuff back to my room.
When I walk in, Justin is looking at all my books I have. How nice. I say "Do you see any books you like?" He says "Yah. They all look pretty interesting." I reply "Cool. Do you want to go bring your swimsuit and towel outside to let it dry? That's what I'm going to do if you want to come." He says "Sure. I'll come do that with you." I smile and we walk out. We walk downstairs past the living room where my dad is watching tv and my brother is reading a book. Nice. I unlock and open the back door and we go outside. I say "You can just lay your towel down on the railing then put the swimsuit on top of the towel." He says "Ok. Thanks." I lay my stuff out then say "What do you want to do? Want to go inside or stay outside?" He says "We can stay outside. It's really nice weather." I smile and take a seat in one of the seats with a pillow. Justin pulls a seat up next to me and sits down. Justin says "Clarissa, can I ask you two questions?" I turn to him and say "Sure." Justin exclaims "I'm sure your voice is beautiful, so would you ever consider singing a song with me? Even if it's a song I wrote or a song we cover." I answer "Sure. One day if we have down time we can totally do that. Thanks for thinking I have a nice voice." Justin smiles and says "You're welcome. Last question is: if you had to date a guy, what would you want their personality to be like? You can ask me a question or two if you want." I say "If I did date someone, I would want them to be loyal, caring, funny when they should and serious when they should, intelligent, and an all around good natured person. I have two questions for you: Why do you keep asking me all these questions? And... Why do you always stare at me?" Justin says "Well, I ask you so many questions because you are such a nice person who I would like to get to know more. The answer to the second question is more complicated and involves a little background..." My mom and Pattie open the door just as he is about to answer. My mom says "Food is here." They smile and walk away. I turn back to Justin and say "Just tell me later. I don't mind." Justin smiles, holds out his pinky to me, and says "Pinky promise." I shake his pinky with mine and say "Yes. I pinky promise." We unlink our pinky fingers and go inside the house.
We walk to our normal seats and sit down. I see my mom has already set our food by our places. How nice. We all start lunch. I got a turkey, provolone cheese, and lettuce sub on wheat bread. My dad says "How did everyone enjoy earlier?" Pattie says "It was so much fun. I enjoyed it. The place is so beautiful. How did you like it, Justin?" Justin says "I had a lot of fun. It was nice to be in a peaceful and beautiful place without paparazzi and stuff like that." Pattie nods and says "I completely agree." We continue to talk about today and everyone agrees it was so fun. After lunch, we all go back to doing other stuff. I start walking upstairs to my room when someone grabs my wrist. I turn so quickly that I'm surprised I didn't just fall. The person was Justin. He says "We have to continue our little chat from earlier." I say "Yah. We can just finish our chat in my room." We continue to walk upstairs to my room. When we go in, I close the door pretty much the whole way since he said it was complicated and such.
I sit down on my bed and Justin sits next to me. I notice as he is sitting there, he is rubbing his palms on his shorts every few seconds and he is bouncing his leg up and down like a crazy person. I finally say "Just begin with what you want to say whenever you are ready." He nods and starts opening his mouth then closing it like he can't decide where to start with what he is going to say. Is he nervous about what he is about to say? Hm. I didn't know I had that effect on people. Finally, he says "So, here's my answer to the reason I stare at you. When I first was told my family was coming here for vacation, my immediate reaction was mad because I didn't want to spend a lot of time here and I wasn't thrilled at all. I really just want d to stay home and relax with my mom. When your family opened the door and I saw you for the first time, I couldn't stop staring. You are so beautiful and I just can't stop staring at you even now. When your brother said you liked me before and when you offered to help, let me stay in your room, apologized for your brother, and quite a few other things, I knew you were a keeper. What I mean by that is: I like you Clarissa. I would be loyal, caring, funny, serious, intelligent, and an all around good natured person to you." Wow. I wasn't expecting that at all. I can't believe he remembered exactly what I said earlier. He then says "So, what is your reaction to that? If you don't like me back, it's okay. I don't mind at all. We can just move on and pretend I never said anything." I reply "If you know I'm a fan of you, then you know how I feel about you." He smiles and says "You like me back, correct?" I smile and say "Yes I do like you Justin." He smiles and says "Great. So Clarissa, did it hurt?" I reply "What?" He says "When you fell from heaven." I laugh and say "Cheesy like cheddar, but I like it. I actually don't mind you staring at me and I do my know why I said I didn't like it earlier." Justin smiles, puts his arm around my waist, and pulls me into his lap. He then puts his other hand around my neck. He pulls me close and we kiss our first kiss together. That was actually my first kiss ever. We eventually break apart, but we still keep our foreheads together. Justin says "I'm glad you're okay with me staring at you. Our moms are going to be so happy when they find out we are together. They have been trying to convince me to tell you I like you since yesterday when I met you." I laugh and say "My mom kept telling me that we should be together." He laughs and says "Should we tell anyone? Obviously we can't tell anyone outside this house because we don't want paparazzi following us and all that business." Aw. That's nice that he would consider me before making a decision. I say "Whatever you want. You're the big popstar, you get to decide." He smiles and says "We can tell them later. I want to take you on a date one day when we have down time and we also need to film a video singing together. Can I kiss you again? Our first kiss was just amazing and I want to kiss you again." I say "I agree with all of that." He leans back in and we kiss again. I must say it is a very enjoyable kiss. When we let go this time, Justin says "I still love kissing you. Two kisses and I already am glad I told you that I liked you. Kind of random, but can I see the song you wrote in high school?" I say "Sure. Let me grab my laptop." I have a MacBook Air with a dark-ish pink hard case and it was my going to college present. I love it so much and I get so much use out of it. I stand up, unplug my laptop, and walk back to my seat on the bed.
I open my laptop and find the lyrics to my song from high school. I say "I wrote this song in 9th grade and I recorded a video of myself singing it a few days after I wrote it. I'll show you the video and have the lyrics on the side as you watch, so you can tell what I'm singing. Any questions?" He says "No. I understand." I smile, press play on the video, and put the lyrics on the side. The song I sang is World Is Insane. During the whole video, I watch myself as I sing. I must admit it could be better, but you know it could definitely be worse. At the end of the video, Justin says "Those lyrics were so good. How did you come up with the idea of this song and all the lyrics?" I say "I'm glad you liked it. You are one of the few who did like it. I had it on my YouTube, but I deleted it because so many people disliked it and no one liked it. Anyway, I was just sitting in a bus on the way to a band competition and I came up with some of the lyrics. My friend saw me typing them and she told me that she does the same thing which was cool. I would hum it in the shower and around my room. I was just relaxing in my room when I decided to write more lyrics. I finished the lyrics and a few days later I recorded the video of me singing it. That's the story of that song." He smiles and hugs me for some random reason. When we break away, he says "Re-upload it and add in the caption this was a few years ago. As it is uploading, we will discuss our singing video. What time is it by the way?" I start uploading the video and I check the time. I say "4:30 PM which seems crazy." He says "Yah it is crazy. What song should we sing for the video?" I say "I don't know. You seem so excited about this video. What would be a good song that our voices would sound well together with?" He smiles really big and says "Yes. I'm literally so excited right now. I'm so glad that I like you and now I'm excited to sing with you since your voice sounds really pretty. I don't know what song to do yet." I bring my laptop to my desk and let the video upload on my desk. I then go sit back down next to Justin. Justin says "What is your favorite type of music?" I say "Personally I like pop music and alternative music." Justin nods and says "Alright. That narrows the selection on what to sing. Definitely not picking Led Zeppelin or Silentó." I laugh and say "Were you actually considering them? Also, we don't have to do the kind of music I like? We can do something you like as well." Justin says "I was just kidding. I didn't strike you for the heavy metal rock kind of person or rap person." My mom and Pattie open the door and smile widely. Pattie says "Are you guys together yet?" Justin says "Yes mom. I told her I liked her and we kissed twice already." My mom says "My baby had her first kiss with a big popstar. OMG... Freaking out right now." Pattie turns to my mom and they grab each other's hands. Then, they start squealing out of excitement and jumping up and down a lot. I start laughing because they are crazy. Justin joins in laughing as well. They finally stop jumping up and down. They both run out the room looking so excited. I turn to Justin and say "Well, now they know and that was really crazy." Justin answers "Yah. They were going psycho by jumping an squealing so much." We continue to talk about music and I show him my music library to help us decide what to sing. Eventually my mom comes back in my room telling us dinner is ready.
We go downstairs to have some dinner and we take our places at the table where food is being brought out. When everyone is sitting down together, Pattie says "Special news everyone: Justin and Clarissa are together and they are my new OTP." My mom adds "My new OTP as well is them." Noah says "Wow. I can't believe Clarissa is finally with someone. I never thought that would happen." I say "Woah there mister. Careful with what you say." My brother laughs. My dad says "Anyway, plans for tomorrow anyone?" Everyone immediately turns to me. Yikes. All the pressure. Justin made a song called "No Pressure" and right now I'm feeling peer pressure. Kind of that opposite, right? Of course, right now, everyone can't hear what I'm thinking, so they are just thinking I'm thinking super hard. Ok. I finally say "Why is everyone looking to me? Today I don't have a good idea of what to do tomorrow." Noah says "We could go to the history museum I love and also go out to lunch." I add "We could also go get frozen yogurt after lunch." My mom says "There we go, the kids I love coming up with a great plan for tomorrow. Well, it is settled then. We leave tomorrow at 10:30 ish for the museum. Don't worry barely anyone is there. Usually young kids and senior citizens go there." Justin and Pattie smile. We continue dinner...
After dinner, my mom says "Everyone meet in the living room with pajamas on for game night ASAP." We all leave to go change. I grab my pajamas and go to the bathroom to change and when I get out, Justin goes in to change. I wait for Justin in my room. When he walks in, he walks straight up to me and puts his arms around me. He then leans in for a kiss. Wow. I must say he loves kissing. We kiss. Wonderful again. When we stop kissing, I say "Ready to win game night?" Justin says "Yes I am. Even if I don't win anything, I know I won you from whoever you could've dated." I smile and reply "Aw. How cute. Yes I guess you could say you won me. No guy has asked me out, so that might not have been a problem for you." He smiles and we walk downstairs. I see everyone is pulling all the games out. The first game we play is HeadBanz which is a really fun game. The thing I got was a fly which I guessed when someone told me it's sound was a lighter version of a bee's buzz. Yay! Justin got ketchup which he guessed pretty quickly. I must say Justin and Pattie fit right in. The second game we play is Hungry Hippos. My dad, Noah, Justin, and I all played that. Noah won. Dang it. We played several rounds and Noah just kept winning all those times. The last game we played was Scattergories. I love that game so much, even though, I'm just average at it. Since we have a lot of people, we played on teams. My mom and Pattie vs. Noah and my dad vs. Justin and I. We played several rounds and won at least one round. Yay! At the end, my mom says "Let's all clean this up and go to bed."
We all agree and clean everything up. When it's all clean, I hug my mom good night and head upstairs. When I get to my room, Justin is sitting on the ground criss cross staring hard at his phone. I sit down in front of him and say "Is everything alright?" Justin looks up and says "Yah. Why do you ask?" I reply "You were looking at your phone really hard, so I thought you might not be ok or something was wrong. Sorry for assuming that." Justin says "Don't apologize. I'm glad you care about me. We can go to bed now." I stand up and plug my phone in. I also check my laptop and see that my singing video hasn't been viewed yet, so that means views will come eventually. I turn my laptop off and climb in bed. Justin gets in the bed, turns the light off, and says "Night Clarissa." I reply "Night."
