Let Me Love You

21

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before" Justin says curiously as he holds up a zucchini

"I mean...zucchini are pretty common" I say sarcastically

"No...like I've seen it somewhere a lot" he ponders and holds it before his crotch, "Like in my pants" he smiles wickedly at his joke

"You wish" I giggle as I snatch it from him to put it in my bag

"How would you know?" He asks and chases after me as I continue walking

"I won't ever know"

"Baby take a chance or you'll never ever know" he quotes one of his songs as a goofy smile appears on his face

"How long have you been waiting to use that one?" I giggle

"Only a couple years" he smiles and wraps his arms around me, resting his chin on my shoulder as I waddle to the check out with him wrapped around me

"There's a paparazzi outside" he whispers in my ear

"Mhm" I say carelessly as we get to the check out

"He's probably going to ask you a bunch of questions" Justin says and releases me

"Probably" I agree

"He might ask if you're my girlfriend" Justin pokes my side, "What would you say?" He smiles

"I would say no" I smile back at him

"What if I said yes?" Justin asks and takes out his wallet

"I'd laugh" I say shortly, "Now put your wallet away" I wave his hands away so he doesn't pay for my stuff

"No way shorty, I got this" he takes out his credit card and smiles

"No" I laugh and try to snatch it from him

He pushes me back with his foot and keeps his balance on the other one as he hands the cashier his credit card, keeping me away with his foot.

"I hate you on so many levels" I push his foot off my stomach and shake my head

"Oh, I didn't know it was Opposite Day" he says smugly

"Meaning I only tolerate you on one level?" I ask

"What is that one level? My looks?" He asks, "My smile, my style, my hair"

"I don't know, there's not much about you to like" I scrunch my nose up at him, "Probably your voice"

"You like my voice?" He smiles

"I mean you have a good voice, that's why you're a singer isn't it?" I ask

"I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me" he says and puts his hand on the small of my back as he leads me outside

"Don't get used to it" I smile

The man with a video camera approaches us and I feel Justin's grip on my hip get tighter as he quits smiling

"Hey Justin, what's up man?" He asks Justin, but his question gets ignored. Which doesn't surprise me, Justin loves to ignore people
