One Less Lonely Girl

Watch Your Back

"Fuck, Selena! How can you not tell me who the damn father is?!" Justin was literally growing redder than a tomato and about to pop every vain in his head. "Justin! Stop yelling at me! It's not my fault. Yeah, sure I wouldn't be in this situation if I didn't sleep around but remember YOU wouldn't be in this situation if you wouldn't have cheated!"

I breathed in deeply trying to hold back the urge to smack this bitch. "Fine. I'm sorry for yelling. But this is just as much stressful for me as it is for you." "What?! No it's not. When you find out it's not yours, you get the weight lifted off you and I'm stuck here without a damn baby daddy!

I wish you'd just forget about this. There's no point. Even if it is yours, God forbid, you don't have to stay. You've already got your kid. No doubt you'd be the best person to raise a kid with, but I'm the one who whored around. As much as I hate to say it, I guess it's my punishment." A tear mixed with black eyeliner ran down her cheek as she let her head fall.

"Please don't do that. Look, if the kid is mine, I want to take the resp-" "Enough of the ifs Justin. I'm telling you. Just forget it. I don't even have to see who the father is. Honestly I don't even want to test it." Justin let out a heavy sigh and finally came back to the seat beside me.

"I can't live the rest of my life not knowing if I have a child out there or not. I can't." "Why are you making this so hard. Every other man who scream 'hallelujah' and run out the door." She wiped her face and blew her nose in a tissue.

"Can I say something?" I cleared my throat. Justin put his hand on my knee and Selena starred a hole in my face. "Look, I think we can both agree he is not like any other guy. You can't ask him to just forget about something this big. You know the baby would be perfect with him being the father so why not just take the chance?

Media shouldn't matter especially since you've been an actress your whole life. Nothing else matters but the kid. I'm not saying it's gonna be easy or fun but really what is when it's comes to our lives. Stop thinking about what's going to be easier for you and no disrespect but put your big girl panties on and start thinking about what's best for someone who isn't you for a change."

I don't even know where that came from? Since when did I grow balls? Selena was just starring and Justin was sitting on the edge of his seat looking like he was prepared to stop a cat fight over my unfiltered comment.

"Fine." She sniffled. "What?" Justin's head shot up. "I'll do it. I'll take the test. But when you see that it isn't yours and either of you decide to make a slight comical joke, I will beat both of your asses." I scooted back in my seat and bit down on my lip so I didn't say something that was gonna cause two pregnant bitches to go at it cause boooooy I coulda.

"Thank you. And I think you know me better than that." My flawless babydaddy stood up pulling me with him and walked us to the door. "So, we'll be in contact?" Selena nodded her head.

Once we closed the door behind us, Justin slide down to wall until he was sitting on the floor. "Baby." I whispered. He didn't even flinch as if I absolutely said nothing. I watched his eyes swell up with tears till he squeezed his eyes shut. "Justin, please, please don't cry."

"Easy for you to say." I was drawn back from his remark. "What did I-" "Just don't right now, Aubrey." He got up and headed down the hallway, leaving me standing like a complete idiot.

I opened the car door and he didn't even look at me. Not even a glimpse.

After just riding around for what seemed like forever since I had absolutely no idea where we were at, he finally decided to speak. "I shouldn't have snapped at you." "Don't Justin." "Baby, I'm sorry. Please don't be like that."

I looked over and he was starring at me like a lost little puppy dog. Usually I'd smile, but right now I had no desire to. "You can't do that. You can't just snap at me like that when I haven't done anything to you but try to help you and then randomly decide to apologize. I'm not gonna let you walk all over me, Justin.

I know you're upset, I am too. But you can't push me away like that. It's not fair to me. Eventually it's going to get old." He didn't say anything. I watched as he made his grip on the steering wheel stronger and I quickly switched my vision to the window.

"I don't know what you want me to say, Aubrey." "Baby, I'm not mad. It's fine. You're stressed, I get it. I'm just letting you know. You acting like that is only going to push me away. I love you, you know that, but I'm trying the best I can in this. Please understand that and think before you speak."

"Give me your hand." I looked over and placed my hand in his. He lifted it up and pecked it. "I love you, baby girl. I'm sorry and I'll try harder, I promise." "I love you too, darlin."

That night we went on a spectacular dinner. Candle, moon lit table, alone on a balcony, facing the water 10 feet off the ground. Everything was perfect aside from Justin's off attitude tonight.

"Baby, are you okay. You seem kind of...off tonight." "Sweetheart, I'm fine. I'm eating one of the best meals I've ever had Oceanside, looking at the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. You know what's even better?" I giggled and 'hmmed' as I touched my burning cheek.

"I get to call this beautiful girl I'm eating dinner with mine. All mine." I seriously don't think my smile could have grew any bigger. "Justin, I think I know you better than you know yourself. You're stressing out and that's understandable, but stressing isn't helping. You're gonna drive yourself crazy."

"I know, baby. I know. But with Selena doing the test tomorrow and-" "Wait. She's doing the test tomorrow? How are you sure?" "Because she texted and tol- Shit, baby. Aubrey. Look, I know I didn't tell you but it only slipped my mind."

I giggled out a scoff. "Slipped your mind. Great excuse babe. I thought we promised. YOU promised I was gonna be a part of this. No secrets, nothing like that. How does something that damn big slip your mind?" "Aubrey, it's not like it was a secret. You'd know tomorrow, obviously."

I grinned, uncrossed my legs taking a sip of my water and threw my napkin on my plate indicating this "perfect" dinner was over. "Really? You sure I'd know?" "Aubrey, calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down, Justin. I don't see how this is okay in your book. This was the agreement and you're fucking up the first day we get here." "Aubrey." He rose from his chair with soft, sweet eyes.

"Some vacation this turned out to be. Are we just gonna be fussing and being sneaky the entire time? If so, I'm just gonna go home cause there's clearly no point in me being here!" "Aubrey, listen. I should have told you, I know but I didn't want it putting a damper on the night."

"How'd that workout for you?" With nothing but fury running through me, I helped myself to the car waiting for us downstairs. I laid my seat back and cuddled into a ball waiting for Justin to come take us back to our room.

Before I knew it, I was waking up in bed facing my beautiful boyfriend. How does he manage to move me without me waking up? I rolled over, unawaringly awakening him. I felt him scoot closer to me, spooning me and start rubbing my stomach. "Good morning" I said in a low tone, placing my hand on top of his.

"Did you sleep good?" He kissed the back of my head. "Like a baby, apparently." I yawned stretching out. "Justin, about last night-" "Shh, baby. Close your eyes." I took a deep breath and readjusted my body more in tune with Justin's.

"I love you, Aubrey Grace. Never think differently. I'm sorry for last night. Let's put it behind us please. I'm done fighting. I can't take anymore of it either. Like you said, it's a rough patch. We've been through worse things." I smiled and told him I loved him too, squeezing his hands with mine.

"So it's the big day huh?" I yelled from the hotel bathroom. "Sure is." I heard him sigh. "So are you-we going with her?" "No! I mean, maybe. Why, do you want to?" Baby came to the door and I giggled.

"Justin, we're not about to not go. I mean, all were gonna be doing anyways is sit in silence and what till your phone rings." "So we're going?" I nodded my head, "yes, honey. We're going."
