Chapter 9

Justin

I was sitting in the kitchen with my phone in my hands. I only bought it yesterday. I hadn't used one in so long. Cara was at work, so she couldn't tell me that everything would be fine.

I trusted Cara so much, and I believed every single one of her words. It almost sounds like I' in love with her, and to be honest, I think I am.

"Justin? Is it really you?" Scooter had given her my number so Ellen knew that it was me calling. I smiled. "Yeah.. Hey." I heard her screaming to somebody and I breathed out. It was good to know that there was a person out there who was truly happy about my call. "How do you feel?" We kept talking and talking. It was so good to talk to her. I would be coming to her show next week and I was happy about that. I hope my fans won't be angry or hurt anymore. I just.. haven't been myself lately. "Then till Friday!" I smiled and said bye, then hung up. I downloaded some recipes and tried to cook something for me and Cara. I wanted to surprise her with that, even if it won't taste so good.

"Justin?" Cara closed the door and came into the kitchen. "Did u cook?" She smiled as she saw the table. I already put the plates on it and the food. "Yeah, I don't know if it's going to be as good as yours though." She hugged me and then sat down. "It doesn't matter though." And then I sat down too and we started eating. "This is very good, Justin." Cara smiled after she swallowed her first spoon of pasta. "Thank you." I smiled too.

It was good for me to hear something like that. It kind of made me feel more confident about what I do, even if it's just cooking. "How are you feeling today?" Cara put the plates in the dishwasher while I was putting the food that we didn't eat, in the fridge. "I'm actually very good today and I'm going to Ellen on Friday." I closed the fridge-door and looked at Cara, wanting to know what she thought. "Oh my God, Justin! That's amazing!" She immediately hugged me and I hugged her back. "I'm so proud of you, Jay." I smiled and whispered thank you.

I was actually proud of me too, I started to prove myself that I'm able to crawl out of this hole, slowly, but I can.

"How about we make a movie night?" Cara asked as she looked through the channels. There was nothing but trash. "Of course." I smiled. "I wanna see The Giver again." I told her while making myself comfortable. "I never saw that before, so we're gonna watch it." She put the movie on and snuggled up to my side.

Everytime the movie is near to the end, I hope that it's not the end, I always want it to go further, but knowing it won't kinda depresses me.

"Justin, it sucks seeing everything in black and white," Cara groaned and I snickered. "Just wait. I bet you'll love it." She sighed and somehow at the end of the movie, we were holding hands and with the other one I was playing with her hair. Cara didn't seem to notice that the movie was over, she just stared at the now blank screen. "Penny for your thoughts?" I asked and she immediately looked up at me. "Rather not." She smiled and chose the next movie. As she snuggled up to my side again, I wanted to know what was going on on her mind right at that moment. "Tell me, what does worry you?" I looked at her and I'm pretty sure a blind man could see the adoration I had for her in my eyes. "It's just ... you. You make me feel so comfortable around you and I love nothing more than being by your side. When I'm in work you're the only thing I can think of and I can't ever wait getting home so I can see you again." She closed her eyes and breathed out. I swallowed, not really knowing what to say. "I miss you too. Always when you're not near me. It scares me ... kind of." I admitted. If she was willing to bring such a thing up and confess everything to me I felt the need to do this too.

She looked me in the eyes and smiled lightly. "I don't know what it is that you're doing to me, but I like it," she whispered and I smiled. "I like it too." We were staring in each others eyes for god knows how long until I made the final move. "So, means this if I ask you out on a date you're going to say yes?" Cara smiled. "Try", she whispered. "Would you go on a date with me? Because I can't stop thinking of you and I always want you near me and my heart would beat steadier if it would know that you're giving it a chance." She giggled, I usually hate giggles, too fake for me, but this one was so adorable. "If you're saying it like that, of course I'm coming." She hugged me tight and I closed my eyes and inhaled her scent. I didn't know how to describe how she smells like, but I loved it.

Cara

The next day was pure stress. I had to go check all the designs of my designers and if I approved them I needed to make a call for the material so we'd have it in time so that we could begin.

The more happier I was when I came back home and saw rose petals lying on the floor. They led up to the bathroom where there was already hot water in the bathtub and rose petals were spread over. I smiled brightly. This was probably the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me and this was just the beginning of the night. As I turned around I saw Justin standing in the doorframe. "I thought you need to relax before we have this date, I don't want you to be stressed out. Take your time, you'll find me in my room when you're ready. But don't forget to check your bed, there's something waiting for you." Without letting me reply he closed the door of the bathroom. I smiled while shaking my head. He probably was one of the cutest persons I've ever met and I'd be an idiot if I'd ever let him go, I needed to keep him, even if it would be just as a friend.

I stripped down my clothes and placed myself in the bathtub and felt my muscles instantly relaxing and to be honest, I was so excited for this night with this young man.
