The Capture

Chapter. 42 "bright and early."

-Madison's POV-

It was 1:00 in the morning and I still found myself uncomfortable in the blankets as I constantly kicked them off of me, getting overly hot. I nuzzled my head back in the pillow and rested my eyes once more trying to doze off. But to my luck, I still couldn't sleep. I sighed and sat up and looked back at a sleeping Justin. I smiled at his form looking so relaxed and at peace. Then there's me, overly tired and definitely not at peace. I quietly got out of bed trying not to wake Justin and I walked over to the bathroom door and closed it lightly. I flicked the light on, forgetting about its brightness I shut my eyes quickly since they were not adjusted to it. I slowly opened them back open getting used to the light. I stared in the mirror at my own broken reflection. My bruising wasn't awful but it was going down which made me happy. However when I lifted up my sleeve I could still see the scar that would haunt me forever, Justin hasn't seen it yet. I refused to let him know about it till I felt myself able to speak about that night more without crying like a baby. I rolled my sleeve back down and ran the sink water and patted my face with some water to calm my nerves. I shut off the water and dried my face with a nearby towel and placed it down on the granite countertop. I took one last glance in the mirror and turned off the light and walked out of the bathroom. I stared at the bed noticing it empty. Where's Justin?

"Justin?"
I called lightly not wanting to wake anyone. No answer. I groaned and shuffled over to the bed and sat on the edge and stared at the clock. 1:10am. Ugh. Could time go by any slower. Maybe he went downstairs to eat food. He is a guy... They eat when they please. I got up and made my way to the bedroom door and entered the hallway that had no source of light due to the night. I carefully walked down the hall till I felt the stair rail. Once I got to the bottom it felt more cool, hugging my arms around myself and looking around as best as I could to the kitchen. No Justin. Did he leave already? How nice leave me here alone and not tell me. Nice. I let out a sigh of annoyance and turned around only to be met by a pair of glistening orbs that belonged to the one and only Justin. I jumped back a little from the abruptness.

"Jesus Justin... You scared me."
I gasped as I lightly smacked his arm. Only to earn a chuckle from him and crunching? I pulled my phone out of my bra, don't judge me. It's a good holder. I turned on the flashlight and shines it at him careful not to shine it in his eyes. And behold he was eating a sandwich. I shook my head and put my phone away.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to." He spoke munching his sandwich.

"It's 1:30 in the morning' why are you eating a sandwich?"

"well I woke up to my stomach growling and you weren't there so I had to come all the way down here and make my own sandwich." He explained with much sarcasm. I think it was sarcasm. Or is he serious?

"Really? Justin I swear to go-"

"I'm kidding Madison. Sheesh. Now why are you awake?" He asked finishing his sandwich and dusting his hands off on his boxers.

"Couldn't sleep..."
I sighed thinking back to the blankets and I kicking battle whether I wanted them on or off. He looked at me with concern and wrapped his strong arms around my little frame. His lips kissed my forehead then my nose and hovered over my lips.

"I say. We go back upstairs, lay back in bed. Maybe talk a bit till we fall asleep?" He suggested as I waited for him to kiss me. I nodded my head and felt our lips connect. I mentally pouted when he pulled away. It was moments like that I miss from him since he is always busy with the guys. He holds my hand and leads me up the stairs and to our room and carefully closes the door. I walk to my side of the bed and wait for Justin to come. He lays down and opens his arms for me to lay beside him. I smile warmly and rest my head on his chest as he pulls the blankets over us and encases me in his muscular arms. I shut my eyes and enjoyed the feeling and looked up at him only to see him staring right down at me.

"Madison I know you're never going to be able to tell me what happened with Lop-"

"Don't say his name... Justin I'm just not ready to talk about it yet. But I promise when I feel ready. You'll hear about it, okay?" I said trying to show him I care and want him to know, but also lacing my voice with hurt from remembering those days. I only felt his head move up and down indicating he understood.

"We should go to sleep. I have to be up in 4 hours." He said almost as if trying to blow off any other conversation.

"I'm sorry Justin... Please don't be mad at me. I'm just not ready to talk about it." I felt tears at their brink but I pushed them back as my quivering voice gave it away. I suddenly felt his hand lift my chin to look up at him and his lips smashed against mine. I was shocked by of course went with it as we continued to collide lips becoming more passionate. I felt his hand lower itself down my sides to my butt as he massaged it, earning a slight moan from me. He groaned in joy as he continued to kiss me and touch my butt. I moved myself to straddle him and continue to kiss him more and more, his hands on my hips as I felt him grind me a little sending me a sign to do the same, and I did. And soon enough I could feel Justin Jr poking at me. I couldn't help but let out a giggle, not w bad laugh but just finding it funny how quickly he got 'happy'. I moved my hand down his chest and to his solid abs. As my hand got lower I felt his grab my wrist. I looked at him confused and he sighed.

"You have no idea how badly I want this right now Madison. But I want your first time to be special. Not at 2 in the morning in pitch black haha. I want to save this for a day where it's just you and me. Maybe go on a date. Then come home and you know." I was surprised by how thoughtful and romantic he was being. Even though I don't care what time it is and I wanted this, I didn't want to argue.

"I think that's a great idea. But when would you be able to take me on a date? You're always busy." I mumbled towards the end and got off of his life to lay beside him. He intertwined our hands and look at me.

"Tomorrow. Okay? When I get back with the guys. You and me are going out to dinner." He said boldly and assuringly.

"Promise?" I asked not wanting to be let down and knew you can't break a promise. It was seconds till he replied but it felt like minutes.

"I promise. Now let's get some sleep okay?" He kissed my forehead as I nodded and he wrapped his arms around me as I rested my head on his chest. I closed my eyes and found myself finally finding that comfortable sleep I've been needing. But I still had a few things on my mind... Telling Justin what happened when I was captured by Lopez... How was this date going to go if it happens and what will I wear?.... And the thought of losing my virginity in a matter of hours.
