He's Still The One

Chapter 36 - She Don't Like The Lights

Recap

The next thing he did really surprised me. He took a long deep sigh and said,

"Ash, you've been my best friend since we were little. Of course, I'd do anything to make you happy. What I did in the past, I regretted it big time. As much as I want to see you smile, I want the reason to be because of me. I know you are going through a tough time, you can give me your answer when you are ready. Ashley Jane Monroe, will you take the honor of being my girlfriend?"

****

Ashley.

I didn't know what has gotten into me and such but I guess it was a spur of the moment. I said it now and there's no way of taking it back.

It's not like you didn't want this to happen, my subconscious mind told me.

"Can you repeat what you just said? I didn't hear it." Justin said, with a knowing smirk plastered on his face.

I rolled my eyes at his actions and shouted as loud as I could, we are the only ones here, might as well say it loud.

"Yes, I'd love to." And I grinned at him. He hugged me tight and lifted me to the air.

"You don't know how happy that makes me feel and how long have I waited for this moment." He settled me down and kissed my forehead.

I am Justin Bieber's girlfriend, the Justin Bieber. What have I gotten myself in to?

****

Weeks passed since Justin and I became a couple. It wasn't hard since the media still doesn't know a thing about us. The only ones that does know are my mom, the management and his family and let me tell you, when we told our moms, both of them were rejoicing. It was pretty awkward if you ask me.

Justin insisted of telling everyone that we were dating, but I'm afraid of their reaction.

"Baby, it's going to be okay, I promise. I'll do everything I can to protect you, trust me on this, alright?" I squeezed his hand tight as we got nearer to the venue.

We were on our way to Ultra Music Festival. Yes, we flew to the US to come because Justin was asked to perform.

As we got nearer and nearer, my stomach begins to churn. I could hear people screaming as the music grew louder and louder. I was shaking so much while Justin was so calm. How can he be so calm?

He's a performer and is used to this lifestyle, you have to be too since you're his girlfriend now, my subconscious mind explained. I have to admit, it was true. I have to suck it all in.

"We're here." Justin informed me. I took a deep breath as he kissed my temple. Thank God the car was heavily tinted.

We got out and there were a lot of paparazzis surrounding us. Justin clutched my hand tightly as we pass through a sea of paparazzis. Most of them were asking are we dating, who am I and what's the real deal between us. Justin just continued walking until we reached backstage.

"There you are. We've been waiting for the both of you for quite some time now. What happened?" Scooter directed his sight Justin and I's hand which were still holding each other. He smirked as I just smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, that's not important right now. Justin go get dressed. You're on in 20 minutes." Fredo told him. He grabbed my hand but Fredo stopped him.

"Ashley is staying with us. Keep your pants to yourself first, mister." Fredo told him, he just chuckled and let go of my hand. My cheeks were burning up and I have a feeling it was now beet red in color.

A few minutes later, Justin arrived and we huddled up for a prayer. After we said Amen and did a group pat, Ryan G told him it was his cue.

He kissed me on the lips and walked towards the pedestal. He looked back at me and winked. I was just rooted to where I was standing, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Well, so much for keeping the relationship a secret.
