Unbroken

Chapter 25; Show you off

Juliet’s p.o.v

I was now getting ready with Doll and JJ at the Hotel. Ian was going to be here any minute.

I told Doll and JJ all about me and Ian. Doll said; ‘I told you so’ like ten times. She was right…of course. I just rolled my eyes. JJ was happy for me…although, I know he will blushing over him once he sees him.

“Oh girl, you are looking amazing.” JJ said walking into the bathroom. He was gay and didn’t care what anyone thought about him, that is why I loved him. He has been one of my best friends for a few years now.

“Isn’t she though!” Doll said after finishing my make-up. “Ian might just lose it when he sees you!”

“I still can’t believe you are dating him.” JJ said while he was curling my hair.

“Okay, okay.” I said rolling my eyes. Neither one of them would shut up about Ian, but I didn’t mind. I was happy, and Ian made me happy. He was different and mine…I think this one might actually stick around.

“Well your hair is done. After dinner we I’ll do some touch ups.” JJ said before walking out of the bathroom.

“Same thing with make-up” Doll said before following JJ out of the bathroom. I still had time before we were leaving for dinner.

I walked out of the bathroom and saw my dinner dress was now hanging in the closet ready to go. My outfit for the party was right next to it. Everything was set, yet I was so nervous. If one thing went wrong, I just might lose it. I was wearing two different outfits for tonight and they both looked amazing on me. There was a knock on the door and Doll answered it for me.

“Hey Ian” She said. I adjusted my robe and walked towards the door. Doll had already introduced him to JJ.

He placed his suit and bag in the closet next to my things.

“Well don’t you look amazing” He said walking towards me. He hugged me tightly and kissed me before, handing me a dozen red roses.

“Aw they are perfect” I said hold them in my hands. “Thank you” I said before kissing his lips.

“Are you okay” He asked before sitting down on the corner of the bed. Doll and JJ left the room to get dressed for dinner and I was really started to get nervous.

“I’m a little nervous.” I said sitting down next to him.

“Babe, everything is going to be great! Plus, you look amazing and you aren’t even dressed yet.” He winked looking down at what I was wearing. I placed my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Everything will be great now that you are here” I smiled.

After Doll and JJ came back ready for dinner, I finished getting ready myself. I was wearing a sheer, kind of see-threw black dress, which was a backless, and heart shaped in the front. I loved how it looked on me. After Doll made some finishing touches with my make-up and my hair I walked out of the bathroom. Ian was standing there wearing a black and white, Calvin Klein suit that looked amazing on him. He had his hair perfectly spiked.

“You look amazing, Juliet.” He said walking towards me.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah” I said grabbing my clutch.

“Are we ready?” Bear asked standing in the door way with the rest of my security team.

“Yes” I said walking towards the door.

We all went down stairs and hurried into the car to go to the restaurant. Ian and I sat next to each other in the car. Although Doll talked and talked to him; I felt bad in a way, but she was my best friend. We arrived to the restaurant shortly. But, most of it was a blur.

My whole crew was there and so was everyone who had helped with the album. I was happy that it was finally going to be released, but at the same time I was nervous. What if nobody liked it? I know that is kind of a stupid thing to think about…but I was just unsure.

“Is everything alright with you? I can tell you are nervous.” Ian said, wrapping his arm around my waist. We were about to leave the restaurant to go back to the hotel.

“I’m fine; I am just over thinking everything” I admitted.

“I can tell” He said with a smile.

“I will be fine once we get to the party and people start listening to the album”

“I still haven’t heard any of it” He said looking deep into my eyes.

“I know but you will later” I said with a laugh.

We got into the car and headed back to the hotel. I only had twenty minutes to change and touch up my hair and make-up. JJ and Ian were already in the car once I was done. I walked down with Doll. I was wearing a pair of tight black jeans with shiny black heels with a gold glittery crop top. You could somewhat see my black lacy bra underneath. Bear rushed me and Doll to the car and we were now on the way to the club.

Ian told us some jokes making all of us laugh. Although, I am sure he only told those jokes just to make me laugh so, I wouldn’t be nervous, luckily it worked. I hadn’t noticed that he changed into jeans and white top with a leather jacket. God he was perfect. He grabbed my hand and moved me closer to him.

“We are here” Bear said before getting out of the car. “Doll and JJ come on” He said opening the opposite door for them.

“Are we getting out on this side?” Ian asked pointing to the opposite door.

“Yeah. Are you sure you are ready for this?” I asked.

“I am, if you are” He said with a smile. We were actually going public with our relationship. Maybe that’s what made me so nervous. I have only known him for a month now. He was different then most men, he was genuine and down to earth, he was honest. I was afraid that I was in danger of falling in love with him. I guess that is how it goes…aren’t we all afraid of being in love?

How long does love even last? In my experience not long…people fall in and out of love all the time. I guess the point is that someday you just might meet the man or woman you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with. If you pass the opportunity up because you are afraid of being broken or hurt you might miss out on real and true love.

This man actually wanted to be with me and I wanted to be with him. I already knew that there were going to be some people that wouldn’t want us to be together, but it is our relationship not there’s. I may not spend the rest of my life with him, but I won’t know that until I try and put my heart out there.

“Let’s go” Bear said opening the door. Here goes nothing.

Ian got out first then helped me out. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we started walking through. Cameras were flashing everywhere. I couldn’t help, but smile. Ian would randomly whisper things in my ear. I was happy and lucky I had him by my side. Once we got to the end I was actually happy, the nervousness was gone. I was dating someone who made me happy and past everything that’s all I really wanted…to be happy.

“That wasn’t too bad” Ian said before kissing me quickly.

“Glad I had you with me” I said hugging him tightly.
