Love on Mars - Bruno Mars FanFic

Chapter 6 - Houston We Have A Problem

That evening was going well. Joey, Luke and I had a nice dinner in South Beach and now we were headed to the concert. We picked up their dates for the evening and I was meeting Bruno at the venue, this time I was to go back stage with the crew, family and girlfriends even though I was not his girlfriend I was given a pass to where that showed I belonged back there. I told Joey I'd catch up with him at the after party and he was cool cause he knew I'd be ok with Bruno and his crew.

The show was going great and I was loving being up in the mix. I had gone out to stand on the front left side to watch Bruno perform and where he could see me. He came to that side every now and then and catch my eye and act like he was singing to me. I loved watching him interact with the girls in the crowd, it turned me on knowing it would be me he'd be holding later tonight! As the show was about to wrap up I felt someone come up behind me, then they spoke closely into my ear, "Wasup Shady Cheydee" the voice said. There was only one person besides my Mom that called me Cheydee, I turned around quickly "Justin!" I yelled and hugged him tight. He hugged me back and kissed my cheek. "What da hell you doin here" I leaned into speak to his ear because the music was loud. "Damn girl!", he said, also speaking into my ear. "I can't come to Miami?" I changed my tone, "Of course, I mean what are you doing here?" I said. "I'm here to sign a contract for my tour, and check out the Venue", he started, "I've missed you Lil' Cheydee, but I heard you had a little episode recently". "I'm fine", I said. "Yeah and I heard you are no longer with Mark". "Boy, Tammy has a big mouth", I said. "Nah, I spoke to your Mom a few days ago, after I saw Tammy. Anyway, I hear you're at the Epic, what room are you in?" "Why?" I said. "So I can come by like old times", he said winking and taking my hand. "What's wrong with you, you been drinking", I asked snatching my hand back. He laughed. "Where's Jessica?" I asked. "She mad at me", he smiled. "stop acting stupid", I said. He just smiled and started walking away, letting his hand brush across my ass as he said "Well, if you change your mind......" Then winked and kissed the air. I was annoyed at how he was acting as I watched him walk away. I then turned to continue watching Bruno finish up his concert and he was looking right at me. I danced and cheered them on to the finale.

Just before the show was over I went back stage to wait for Bruno to come off. I sat down on one of the couches and talked to Ryan and one of the guys wife as we waited. When Bruno finally came back, everyone congratulated him on a great show. I stood up smiling as he came toward me, then the strangest thing happened. He just said "Hey", kinda dry and went to his dressing room to clean up and change. I thought that was weird. The other night he came straight to me before he went to his dressing room. So I sat down and waited. Everyone around was talking and having a nice time as they got themselves together to move to the after party. When Bruno came out he immediately starting talking to everyone except me. Finally he came to me, "Hey", I said. "Hey, so what was that I saw out there", he went in on me. "Justin Timberlake, really?" he said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I saw how you two were acting", he said. And so.....?" I said "So what's up with that shit", he said. I didnt like his tone, he appeared jealous. "What da hell......." I started. "You need to calm down!" I said. I was starting to feel sick with the way he was talking. "Oh I'm calm" he said. Just then Ryan came over and handed him a drink right when he said "Who else you fucking?" It was like someone punched me in the stomach. Even Ryan looked at him like he was surprised. "Excuse you! I don't know who da hell you think you're talkin to" I raised my voice , "You don't know me to talk to me like that", I said. He cut me off, "Damn right, I don't know you". I was so hurt by his words I could hardly breath. Ryan looked at him like he was crazy. Then as I turned to walk away I said "Bastard! Fuck you!!" as loud as I could. The whole room got quiet, as I continued to walk as quickly as I could I heard him say "Well we've already done that haven't we" Then I vaguely heard "Che! Che!". I kept walking pushing through the crowd til I got outside. The tears started and I couldn't stop them. I didn't even look for my brother, I just hailed a cab and got the hell outta there.

When I got to my room I started pulling my clothes down from the closet and packing my suit case. All the while sobbing and crying. My mind was racing, I needed to get the hell out of Miami quick! Twenty minutes later there was a knock at my door. I peeked thru the peep hole and it was Justin standing there. Geez, I thought to myself now what. I slung the door open and said "WHAT??", I was kinda annoyed at him that he was the reason Bruno was mad at me. "Damn!" he said, as Jessica popped out from behind him. When I saw her I fell into her arms sobbing and crying some more. I was so glad to see her and glad that Justin was just kidding around when I saw him earlier. "Oh my God, whats wrong?" She asked as I let them both in. Justin gave me another hug and went to my bar and fridge to make us drinks. I continued to cry unable to explain what was going on. Justin handed us both a glass of wine, and he took a beer. "I'll take care of the tab, he said." When I finally calmed down, Jessica asked him to wait out in the hall for her, he tried to get me to talk, and she just shoo'ed him out. He went out and took a seat in the hall. I told her everything that had happened including the fact that I was falling for Bruno. She was very calming and by the time we finished talking I felt better, still hurt but better.

In the meantime while Justin waited in the hall Bruno and his friends came off the elvator and ran into Justin in the hall. What's up JT", the guys said to him. They stood there talking for a while then the guys continued to their room, but Bruno stayed and talked briefly with Justin. Bruno tried to make small talk with him trying to feel him out about me. "You waiting for Che'? he asked. Just as Justin was about to answer, Jessica came out of my room. Justin stood up to meet her coming toward them. "How is she?" Justin asked. "She's gonna be fine", she answered. Then Justin said "Babe, this is Bruno Mars, Bruno this is Jessica Beal, my fiance'". "Hi", Bruno said. "Hey", Jessica said. "Nice to meet you Jessica", Bruno said shaking her hand. "She still crying?" Justin asked. "She'll be fine, babe" She answered trying not to discuss it. "I fucked up", Bruno said under his breath. Jessica heard him and answered. "Yeah, pretty much", she said. "We gotta go", she continued. "Nice meeting you" Then Justin said "Hey man, nice show by the way, good seeing you again, come check me out when I come to L.A." As they walked toward the elevator, Justin asked "What's going on, why did he say he fucked up?". I'll explain it to you, lets go", she said to him and they left.

Besides hearing voices outside my door I could feel his presence like we were connected by some cosmic shit so I walked to look out the peep hole and there stood Bruno staring at my door. I jumped back as though he could see me but I gathered my self and went back again. He looked sad as he had his head down shaking it from side to side. I almost felt sorry for him but suddenly the tears started again. He raised his hand as if he was gonna knock but he didn't. He stepped back and walked away but I didn't hear him go into his room. Instead he walked down the hall to Ryan's room where all the guys were hanging out.

After a while Joey and Luke came to see me. I opened my door and they saw that I was crying. "Are you ok?" Joey asked. "I'll be fine" I told him, I just need to be alone right now, ok", I said. "Ok Sis, let me know if you need anything.

Determined to find out what happened, Joey knocked on Bruno's room but he didn't answer so he walked down to Ryan's room and knocked. Ryan opened the door, "Hey wasup Joe?" Joey's anger came out, "Where's Bruno??" he yelled. Then he saw Bruno sitting at a table in front of a glass and a bottle of Tequila, his face in his hands. He looked up as Joey pushed pass some of the guys to get to him. "Whoa, whoa, hey!!!" Dre stood up and blocked Joey and everyone shouted as someone held Joey back. By that time Bruno had gotten up to defend himself. "What da hell you do to my Sister mothafucka?", Joey yelled. "Look man, I can explain, but I need to fix this with her and I need your help", Bruno said. "What da hell you mean fix it, what did you do", Joey yelled at him. "I cant go into all of if but, know this........I am crazy about her........I think I might be fallin in love with her and I think she feels the same!" Bruno said. All the guys looked at him like what? "Well she's in her room crying her eyes out right now, why is that??" Joey continued. Phil looked at Bruno and said "Damn man, what did you do?", Ryan just shook his head looking toward Bruno as everyone wanted to know what happened? Bruno said to everyone, "Look, I fucked up, but I want to fix it, cause I cant loose her". With that he explained to everyone what he wanted to do and he needed Joey to help him pull it off.
