First dance by my baby kidrauhl and daddy usher is v underrated
-----
Justin
I fiddled with my fingers while I sat in the car with Scarlett as Henry drove us to where the ball was taking place. Ian had managed to get her the best dress he could and she looked amazing in it.
I'm still reeling over what happened earlier today. Selena doesn't understand that's its not normal between me and Scarlett, forget about being close to her, I can't even get near her. She is freaking out for no reason.
"Um Scarlett..." I said and she looked at me.
"Yeah?" He sea green eyes were shining like crystals like always and she looked more than just gorgeous with loose strands of hair that had escaped her bun, falling at the side of her face.
"Uh, let's not give the parents an idea about what happened today" I said.
"Oh no, of course not" She said and I nodded.
"And you know that we have to better than last night right?" I said and she nodded.
I felt like shit.
For just everything.
Doing what I did to her years ago, pulling her into this 'fake date' plan, yelling at her today, saying those things....I really hit the sensitive spot for the both of us. But now she must be thinking that I'm even colder about it.
"Justin?" I was snapped out by her.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I guess we're here" She said and I looked out of the window and realized that the car had come to an halt and we had arrived at the Ball.
"Oh yeah..." I said
"No No wait! there's media here, wait a second" I said to her when she was opening the door herself to get down.
I got out of the car and fixed my suit, multiple cameras flashed at me as I rushed to Scarlett's side and opened the door for her.
I extended my hand for her and she placed her small, soft hand in mine after a second and it fit in my hand like a mold.
I helped her down and placed my hand on the small of her back and we made our way inside the hall, the security keeping the paparazzi away from us.
It wasn't something new for Scarlett, just something she has been away for a while.
We both sighed in unison as soon as we were inside the hall.
"Let's search for Mom and dad" I said while looking at the endless number of people gathered.
The room was filled with chatting sounds and soft piano playing in the background. People were talking, drinking and laughing.
Cam and Emma have come here before us since we were a little late due to Scarlett's dress but I couldn't find them nor the parents.
After searching for a while, I finally found mom and dad talking to one of the colleague and his wife.
"There they are" I said to Scarlett and was about to put my arm around her but before that, she wrapped her arms around my arm.
Through the corner of my eyes, I could see her plaster a smile on her face as we walked towards my parents.
"There you two are, what took ya'll so long?" Dad said and all the four of them looked at us.
"Scar's dress wasn't fitting her right so we had to call Ian for some last minute fittings" I said, saying her pet name felt like a strange thing to me now, like I've never called her that before.
"Both of you look so amazing!" Mom said and kissed mine and Scarlett's cheek.
"Junior Bieber has got a date with him?" The colleague said and I smiled at him and nodded.
"Oh, this is Scarlett Lopez, Brandon's daughter" Dad said to him.
"Oh! I knew I had seen that smile somewhere, you are a gorgeous young lady!" The colleague said, placing his hand on Scarlett's head and she smiled at him.
"Thank you" she mumbled softly.
I was too busy feeling comfortable under her touch and warmth.
"I'm sorry about Brandon....it was so unexpected, a huge loos to the business world too" He added.
"He's in a better place now" Scarlett mumbled and he smiled.
"Let's go have some drinks and let the kids alone yeah Nathan?" Dad said to him and they laughed at some inside joke.
"Sure sure! Have fun both of you" Nathan said to us before they all walked away from us.
"Hey fat ass" I looked behind me when I felt someone pat my ass and saw Cam and Emma.
"Well, hello to you too ugly face" I said.
"Scar, you look so beautiful" Emma said and hugged her.
"Greetings, gorgeous lady" Cam grabbed a rose from god knows where and Dramatically bowed down in front of Scarlett while holding the rose for her.
"Cam, the drama queen is showing" Scarlett said causing Emma to laugh while I pressed my lips in together to control from laughing.
I can just laugh too....
"Just take the motherfuckin' rose dumb" Cam said and Scarlett chuckled before taking it.
"I can't hold it the whole time" She said.
"I don't care, bye I need privacy with my girl, I've greeted ya'll enough" Cam said and grabbed Emma's hand and started dragging her away.
"I can keep it in my pocket if you want" I said and she nodded and gave it to me.
I was about to stuff it in the pocket of my trousers when she stopped me.
"I think it would look better there" She said pointing at the pocket on my suit.
I had forgotten to put a tie there, shit.
She took it from me and put the stem of the rose inside till the stem was completely hidden and the rose peaked out from the pocket.
My suit was off white with black lapels and a black bow and I think the red rose has to be looking amazing over there.
"Yeah, I think it looks better here" I said after she was done and she smiled a small smile and nodded.
"It does" She said.
"Let's have a drink, I'm thirsty" I said and she nodded before we walked to the bar and sat down.
"I'm just gonna have some champagne, would you like some?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"I'll have a coke" She said.
"Oh, you don't drink?" I asked and she shook her head.
I nodded and asked the bartender to bring a champagne and coke.
We drank silently, a comfortable silence around us before Dad announced the commencing of the ball. The piano that previously was playing softly was a now louder so the room was filled with the sound of it.
"Let's go..." I said and she nodded before placing her hand in my extended hand again and I helped her down the bar stool.
I kept our hands connected as we walked to the dance floor. Mom and dad had already started dancing and they waved at us when they saw us come.
"Um Justin..." She said and I looked at her.
"Yeah?" I asked and she looked around nervously.
"I-....I don't know how to do this..." She said and I furrowed my eyebrows, not know what she's talking about.
"I've never really slow danced before...I don't know anything" She said and my forehead uncreased.
"Never?" I asked and she shook her head.
So this is her first dance and I'm about to steal it.
Another first that belong to me.
"It's alright, just follow what I do, it's not a big deal" I said and she nodded
I placed my hands on her hips and she took a second to place her hands on my shoulders. We were close but no touching. It was kinda uncomfortable like that but that's okay.
We started moving in circles slowly and she seemed to understand what had to be done and soon it grew on her.
She looked just more than beautiful and I realized that I'm not going to stop thinking about it until I tell her. She was looking everywhere but me.
"You look beautiful" I said in a go, not wanting to come out or sound awkward.
I saw the pink tint in her cheeks darken as her big sea green eyes timidly traveled up my face too look in my hazel ones.
"Thank you" She said and looked away again.
My eyes roamed over her, her skin look soft and glowing, she was blessed with the kind of beauty not everyone's blessed with.
I developed a sudden, strong urge of hugging her tight and burring my face in her neck. I wanted to pull her closer, hold her tight, talk to her, ask her why she never spoke to me after that day.
I mean I know what I did to her was wrong but at least she would came and slapped me hard and yelled at me than just cutting me off like that.
And most of all, I wanted to apologize, beg for forgiveness, something I don't really deserve from her but it was written on her face that like always, she had forgiven me, a long time ago. Maybe she wasn't even ever mad at me.
But I know she was hurt. Too hurt. Disappointed.
But I was just a stupid teenager back then. A bad boy, wasted kid. But I never wanted to lose her. She was the only thing that kept me sane, in control.
She was.....
She was my best friend....she still is.
But am I? Still her best friend? Or am I really the stranger she treats me like?
A gasp escaped from me a Scarlett when she was pushed ahead so that now she was pressed up against me. It was as if God heard my wish but it wasn't actually god.....it was Cam.
"What the hell Cam?!" I said while he just stood there behind Scarlett trying to hug both of us at the same time.
"I'm nostalgic right now" He said and I could tell that Scarlett was really nervous, being so close to me so I held her tighter, just somehow trying to tell her that it was okay and I didn't mind it at all.
"Nostalgic?" I asked Cam and he nodded and hummed.
"We probably look really weird right now" Scarlett mumbled but Cam just tightened the hug more if possible.
"I don't care, you'll remember when we three were the ultimate, inseparable trio? Man, those were the day" Cam said.
Yeah, thanks Cam, for adding up to my nostalgia too.
"You were the worst by the way" I said and he glared at me.
"Actually, I was the best. I always adjusted with you two" He said.
"Oh really?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Oh really? Really? do you remember when Scarlett used to always make us play that game....her favorite one what was it called? uh...-
"House house?" I said.
"Yeah, house house, that stupid game where she's get all her toys and her huge ass doll house and we had to pretend to be a family?" He said.
"What about that?" I said.
"You really don't remember huh? Scar used to always be the wife because she was the only girl among us and you fat ass, you'd ball your eyes out whenever I used to crib about wanting to be the husband. There wasn't a day I remember that you let me be the husband, you always made me play the bratty little kid of yours" Cam said making my cheeks heat up at the memory.
How the hell does he still remember that, I thought I was the only one.
I secretly glanced down at Scarlett, she took was blushing but at the same time was trying to fight a laugh which embarrassed me even more.
"Oh shut up, I never cried for that okay" I tried to defend.
"Don't...you know you did" Cam said and I gave him a glare and he smiled wickedly at me.
"Can we loosen up a little? I can't breath" Scarlett said.
"Look who's trying to change the subject, now ya'll hate me for saying the truth?" Cam said.
"Cam, I just really can't breath, I'm not asking you to stop talking" She said.
No?! but why not I mea-- wait.
I know what they are doing, right now Scar and Cam are a team and roasting me, I get it.
"What's going on?" Mom and dad walked to us, chuckling at how stupid we looked in that position.
"A reuni-
"Cam and Scarlett are trying to roast me by bringing up embarrassing childhood memories" I said quickly.
"See? This was exactly how you ran to Pattie cribbing about how I'm not letting you be Scarlett's husband" Cam said.
"Sacrlett's husb-- oh! I remember that!" Mom laughed.
"Can someone explain me what is happening?" Dad asked.
"No no no! nothing, it's no--
"Come Uncle Jer, do you not remember when we were kids and played that game where we had to be a family and Justin always cried his way into being Scar's husband and made me be the kid?" Cam said.
"Can you shut your mouth Cam!" I said to him but dad started laughing too.
"Oh yes, I do recollect that" He laughed and I rolled my eyes.
This is a full fledged family roast and I'm on the hot seat.
I was about to walk away when I felt Scarlett's hand hold two of my fingers. She looked at me, there were traces of smile on her face from my roast session as she gave my fingers a soft squeeze.
"Now can you all go away if ya'll are done? I was kinda enjoying slow dancing" I said.
"Oh yeah, yeah sorry about that" Mom and dad again laughed on some inside joke before walking away.
"Kiss my ass Biebs" Cam said before he went away and I rolled my eyes.
"I hate them" I said and a second later Scarlett bursted out laughing. She tried to control herself but she couldn't and I just watched her with a smile because it had been ages since I heard her laugh and I wanted to live every second of it.
"I'm so sorry, I just, oh my god" She took deep breaths to calm herself.
"Yeah, you can have your share too" I mumbled and another involuntary giggle left her.
"You really were a cry baby though" She said and I stared at her in disbelief.
"You too?" I whined causing her to laugh again.
But I didn't mind that, I didn't mind her roasting me at all, especially if that's gonna make her smile and laugh, I sure as hell don't.
