Chapter 12

Alex's POV

As we were getting out the car, Justin immediately came to my side, wrapping his arms around me.

"Don't get out of my sight, okay?" And he kissed my cheek firmly.

"Yes sir, Mr.Bieber!" I said teasingly. "I thought you said they-we were all friends? Why can't I walk around alone, not-not that I would be comfortable with that."

He let out a deep sigh. " aren't you Alex Morgan? Why are *cough* you shy? Aha, and yeah, we are friends but they're still dangerous." He said and we got in front of an big, old, dark building.

I gulped and gripped onto Justin's hand following behind him when he opened the door-making a loud creeping noise.

"You know, I should've brought the cupcakes. Or stayed home. Both sounds FANTASTIC right now, don't you think?"

He just let out a short chuckle and shook his head. He looked at me and kept smiling. I smiled back as he tightened his grip. He led me slowly into a normal looking meeting room.

"Huh, this looks pretty normal- ooh coffee!" I said as I was distracted and mesmerized by the different sorts of coffees and teas. Justin let my hand go as a signal of 'go ahead and knock yourself out.'

" hibiscus tea!? Just like Starbucks!? Mmmmm."

"You and your Starbucks, Morgan. *cough* *cough*" He said laughing and shaking his head with his hand on his forehead. I turned around with the cup in my hand (pinkie up of course) squinting my eyes at him.

"Is there a problem, Mr.Bieber?"

"No no, Ms.Morgan." He said sending me a wink.

"Love your sass." I said winking back.

He just giggled and took a seat.

"You wanna sit with me? *cough*"

"I'm straight." I said laughing dropping my tea. "Awww, are you serious?"

"No, it's *cough* okay. *cough* *cough*."

"Justin, do you want sommmmme coffee? You keep coughing."

"Can you make me some *cough* hot chocolate princess?"

"Aww, of course! Anything, uh, anything for you." I said hesitant as I turned back to the table to make him some. As I was, people started coming, making me feel awkward.

"Oh hi," I would awkwardly say with a forced smile. Who are these people?

Justin's POV

I could tell I was getting sick, ugh, great. I was clearing my throat as Alex kindly went to make me some hot chocolate when parts of the gang started coming in.

"He guys, this is my girlfriend(loved saying that) Alex."

She would send a awkward smile and 'hi.' It was so cute watching her not be scared, and being her nice little self.

As the room started getting filled, I quickly grabbed Alex a chair and placed in next to mine.

"Justin?" She whispered to my ear.

"Yes princess?" I asked turning around meeting her slightly frightened face.

"I know this is awkward, but like I-I was kind of wondering if- if I could, could just sit on your lap. One of the guys over there doesn't have a chair and I-" I smiled back at her and hugged her.

"Aha, say no more, of course you can. Don't be shy." I said winking at her. I sat on my chair placing her on top of me. Her arms were wrapped around my chest and mine were wrapped around her upper body lazily yet comfortable.
