Love Me Harder

Twenty One - "Just looking."

(Selena's POV)
I walk down the stairs and see Justin turn around. He looks at me up and down and whistles.
"Holy shi-"
"Don't say that word." Gracie interrupts him. I laugh and walk over to Justin.
"You look absolutely gorgeous." he says. I flush, bending my head down.
"Thanks." I said. He lifts my chin and looks in my eyes.
"Don't hide your face from me , I like seeing it." He whispers. I bite my lip and feel my cheeks heat up even more. He smiles and I see him start leaning in. I put my small hand on his large chest and look into his eyes.
"After." His eyes brows meet as he looks at me confused.
"What?" He asks.
"If I have fun on this date, we'll kiss." I explain. His mouths falls open and I hear a slight groan.
"but Selena-"
"Shush. If you want that kiss you better be good." I say. He sighs and grabs my hand, bringing to his lips.
"Can I kiss your hand?" I giggle and nod. His lips kiss my hand gently and after, he laces his fingers with mine and we go on our way.

"Ladies first." Justin says, opening the door for me as we walked into a restaurant. It wasn't fancy or anything, just a nice restaurant. I was glad we didn't go to some fancy place, I would've felt plastic and I would've not been myself, Justin would've noticed too. I smile and walk in, I feel his presence behind me and we walk up to a woman in the front.
After we were sat down Justin looked at me.
"I wanted to take you somewhere fancier. . . But I realized that you wouldn't have like that." He says, licking his lips. I choose to stay quiet and look at the menu.

"How did you universe even create such a beautiful woman?" I hear him ask. I look up and see him gazing at me.
"How did the universe even create such a cheesy man?" I ask him back. He laughs and shakes his head.
"What if I wasn't talking about you?" He challenges.
"Cause you don't have the balls to say that about another woman while we're on a date." I said, smiling. "Wouldn't wanna ruin that kiss now would we?"

He rolls his eyes and chuckles. "It's amazing,"
"And what's amazing?" I ask.
"It's just insane, you're so gorgeous."
"Are we ever gonna get off this subject?" I ask, laughing slightly.
"I just think you deserve to know." he says. God I wanted to kiss him. The struggle.
I shake my head in disbelief. This gorgeous, cheesy man may have had my heart from the start.
"You aren't bad yourself Mr.Bieber." I smile over at him. He smiles back and the waitress comes over.

"Do you know what you're going to get?" She asks. Her night is normal, about my size. She has long, black wavy hair, it's beautiful.
"Uhm, actually- "
"She'll have a steak." Justin said, pressing his lips in a line.
"Uhm-" I try to speak
"Okay, and you?"
"Same." Justin answers. She walks away and I shake my head.

"Why steak?" I ask.
"Because I don't want you to eat a carrot and be like 'oh I'm full'." I gasp.
"Excuse you?" I ask, grinning wide. He grins too and leans in.
"You heard me." He says with a smirk playing on his face.
"I'm not like that and you know it!" He raises his eyebrows, and I realize I've just lied. "Okay okay, maybe I am." I admit. It has been a while sense our server had came over so Justin decided to go check at the desk.
"I'll be back beautiful." he says and walks off.

It's just then that I actually get to see his outfit. He wore a black t-short with some jeans that of course sagged lowly. He wore a black beanie, and then some Adidas. His tattoos showed, I think he did that on purpose. I admire his tattoos, there's a lot and it's sometimes fun to just look at them. He walks back slowly, he looks carefree, like he's the happiest guy alive.

"Okay, so apparently she got sick and had to leave, but they've got us a new server." Justin says, sitting back down. I nod and wait patiently.
"So what were you doing? I saw you looking at me like a hawk." he asked. I laugh, he saw me looking.
"Just looking." I answer.
"At?"
"You. Your tattoos, your walk, just looking." I said. He hums and nods.

"So.. that man, your moms boyfriend.." I pause. "you know him."
"Yeah." he said, biting the inside of his cheek.
"And how? Is he bad?"
"Selena-"
"do you have like some weird side job that you haven't told-"
"Selena!" He laughs.
"What?" I ask innocently.
"He's just.. a guy." Justin said for the millionth time.
"And what kind of guy is he?" I ask.
"A pretty bad one" Justin answered, looking at anywhere or anyone else other than me.
"So how do you know him?" I asked.
"I.. just stuff, I did some stuff that he knows about."
I hesitate, but ask anyway..

"What'd you do?"

"Things. "
"What kind of things?" I ask, curiously was rising higher and higher.

"Not good, but not bad either.."
