Chapter 17
RECAP:
"so Tina, what were you gonna say?"
"oh um... I'll tell you later"
**
Me, Kaley and Justin all sat there, watching CSI and munching on the nachos.
It was the episode that Justin was in, and it was at the part where he was in the orange van and the csi agents were after him.
I winced as Justin's character was shot and giggled a little bit as his hair went all crazy when he was falling.
"what are you laughing at?"
Justin asked, looking slightly offended.
"oh, just the way your hair was spazzing when you got shot. Looked kinda funny, sorry."
Justin frowned and rewinded, then started laughing along with me.
Kaley was slumped on the arm of the couch, sleeping, so it was just me and Justin talking.
"well that was a good episode. You're not a bad actor biebs."
He smiled and thanked me.
"so anyways, what were you just about to tell me in Starbucks?"
I froze. I couldn't just TELL him right here and now, that would make things awkward. I had to find the right time!
"um, just that I'm glad I have you as a friend?"
Justin's shoulders slumped in disappointment and I decided: screw "the perfect time" I couldn't stand to see Justin all upset like this, thinking I didn't like him.
"but-"
Justin perked up again
"I think I might like you as a little more than friends"
Justin raised his eyebrows
"then why did you reject me?"
"well I was still getting over Taylor and wasn't sure if I was ready for a relationship so soon after... I'm sorry"
"so can I ask you one question then?"
I nodded.
"will you be my girlfriend?"
He gave me the sweetest smile ever, and I pretended to think about it. Instead of answering, I pulled his face toward mine and gave him a short but passionate kiss on the lips.
He smiled hugely and so did I, happy to finally be able to be with him without worrying or guilt. We were finally together.

It was 7pm, and we had watched three movies. Kaley was still sound asleep on the couch, and I'm pretty sure you could blow up the house and she still wouldn't wake up.
Justin had his arm around my shoulders and I was nestled against his warm chest. Occasionally he would just lean down and give me a peck, which was something Taylor never did. We were both in such good moods that nothing could bring us down.
Finally it was time to get ready for bed and so I got off the couch, reluctantly pulling myself out of Justin's embrace.
"so are you... Sleeping over?"
"uh, if that's okay..."
"yeah it's fine. Kaley has the guest room, so you could sleep on the floor or in my bed, your choice."
I winked at him.
"hmm, that's a hard one but I'm gonna say your bed"
He teased.
