Forever And Always (Season 2 of Long Time No Seen)

Chapter 18

He stared at me for a while before asking. And I honestly have to say, I literally drowned in his eyes. [xD] They were just so captivating, I couldn't help but stare right at those big chocolate brown orbs. Me: "Sooo... What were you gonna-" He shuts me up by pressing his finger to my lips. Justin: "Don't say anything.. It'll ruin the moment." I giggle and push his finger away. Me: "You just said something, dumbass." He grins. Justin: "I know." Me: "Okay, but what were you gonna ask?" He turns serious again and sighs. Justin: "Do you really love Cody?" He bit his lip and waited for the answer. Before Justin came, I could honestly flat out say "I love Cody," but being with Justin now, I couldn't. It just wouldn't come out of my mouth. Justin: "Do you? I can handle it if it's yes, Mels.." Me: "I.. I don't know." He gives me a confused look. Me: "I mean, I love him, but I don't think I'm... IN love with him." He nods slowly. Justin: "Did you think about me when I left San Fran?" I nodded. Me: "In fact, I kinda.. Sorta.. Thought about you every night." He smiles a little. Justin: "Sorry I forgot about you.." I sigh. Me: "Well, I kinda told you to, so yeah." Justin: "Can I ask you another thing?" Me: "Okay.. I guess." Justin: "Can we be friends again?" I stared at him like he was crazy. We tried to be "friends" at least twice, and each time bombed 'cause he couldn't control himself. Justin: "If I mess up this time, I swear, I'll leave you alone for good. Forever. I won't like it, but I will." My eyes widened. Did he just say that? Me: "So, you're willing to risk losing me forever, just to be friends?" He nods. Justin: "Mels, you were my best friend, my girlfriend, and I just don't wanna be with you and have no relationship at all." Me: "But, if one of us screws up..." Justin: "It'll be me, and I'd leave you alone for the rest of our lives." What he was saying was kinda, maybe, a little too crazy for me. What if I mess up? Will he be mad at ME? And leave instead? All kinds of questions burst through my brain as if it were a stampede. I don't want him to leave me. Me: "Are you sure? I mean, after all the things you said... The love, everything. You'd risk losing me?" He laughs and places his hands on both of my shoulders. Justin: "Yes, Mels. I want to be just friends with you. I will be your JustyBear, and you will be my Melly. If I hurt you, I'll make sure you have a happy life, and leave you alone. Is that clear?" He grins. Me: "Are-" Justin: "Melani!" He laughs. "Enough questions. It's time for you to answer my question." I bit my lip and stared right into his eyes. Me: "Okay. We can try. Again." He smiles and hugs me. Me: "But," He pulls back and frowns. Justin: "But? There are no buts. BUTTS are for smacking." I roll my eyes. Me: "You're gross. Anyway, do I have to call you JustyBear? It seems a little babyish for us." I laugh. Justin: "Yeah... I guess. But I have tons of nicknames for you. There's Mels, KitKat, Super Girl, Melly, Sexy, and a whole bunch that I don't wanna say." Me: "Okay, well, what about your nickname?" He shrugs. Me: "Biebsy it is." I laugh. Justin: "Hey, wait.. Can I ask one last favor before we start this whole friendship thing?" Me: "Okay, sure. What is it?" He stares at my lips, then my eyes, and back to my lips. "Kiss me." He whispers. This totally WASN'T in the "friend" range, but I missed those soft yummy lips of his; something Cody doesn't have.. "Please?" His face goes into puppy dog mode as he grabs my hands. "Just once, that's all I'm asking. I missed your lips, Mels. A LOT. Pl-" I pressed my lips to his, feeling that burst of energy like old times. All our memories came flooding back as our lips moved together. Holy hot damn I missed this. I love Cody and all, but Justin will always have the bestest kisses in the whole friggin' world. I'd just melt in his arms and he'd carry on kissing. My hands found their way to his hair, his soft, soft hair. I tugged at them lightly, wanting more of the kiss. A smile forms against my lips as he climbs over me. "Justin," I said between the kiss. He stops and looks at me. Justin: "Sorry, Mels. Kinda got carried away.. Ya know." He blushes lightly and gets off of me. Me: "I'm not gonna lie, you're still the best kisser." He laughs. Justin: "So are you. Always have been, always will be." He grins and connects hands with me. I leaned my head on his shoulder. Justin: "Melly?" "Hm?" Justin: "I missed you." I looked up at him and smiled. Me: "I missed you too, JustyBear." Although JustyBear was our little kid nickname, I'd never get tired of saying it, or hearing him say "Melly." My eyes lingered over to his drawing on the wall, and I smiled. JustyBear + Melly = Forever and Always
