Chapter 5

Justin's POV

I groaned at the pounding in my head as I woke up.

What happened last night?

I felt the weight of a warm body on me and when I looked down I saw Selena?

I closed my eyes and thought back to last night.

Jesus I really did mess up.

I pulled her closer to me and planted a kiss on her head, leaving my lips there.

I really hoped we could work this out because God knows I couldn't live without them.

We remain in that position; me holding her until she began to stir.

My heartbeat increased as her eyes fluttered open and they landed on me.

She gave me a wry smile. "Hey."

I smiled back sadly, scared of how this was going to end.

"I guess this is where I explain
myself huh?" I didn't bother to beat around the bush.

The atmosphere was already tense as it was not to mention I was lucky she was even trying to hear me out.

I wasn't about to overstay my welcome.

Immediately I saw her walls go up as her eyes became blank and her face took on a stoic expression. 

She scooted away from me and sat up, leaning against the headboard and I did the same.

She waited silently for me to start talking.

"Okay well, to make things short, a few months ago a woman named Sasha showed up to my office with a fouteen year old boy. She claimed that we hooked up years ago and some club and he was mine. I requested a paternity test obviously. She agreed but threatened to go to the media with her story unless I spent time with them - more particularly him. I wanted to keep it on the down low so I agreed to do what she wanted until we got the results which will be ready tomorrow." I explained honestly.

She remained quiet even after I was finished with my explanation then looked at me seriously.

"But why keep it from me? You know I wouldn't tell anyone."

I bowed my head in shame, shrugging slightly.

"I didn't want to tell you anything until it was confirmed. I knew you would have stressed over it and I didn't want that. Besides, I hate to think of who I was before I met you. You know how I feel about that. I don't know it's embarrassing, I guess."

She gulped harshly. "Justin you never have to be embarrassed about anything when it comes to me. You know that. I wish you would have told me. I spent the last few days thinking you were cheating on me." She confessed.

My heart ached. This was all my fault. Gosh I was so stupid.

"Sel, I'd never ever even consider cheating on you. I love you and only you baby. I never want to lose you."

She bit her lip as she studied me then slowly nodded.

"I believe you."

I felt the relief fill my body instantly.

"Thank you."

"But Justin," She reached foward to place her hand on my cheek and I sunk down in the bed so that she was now cradling my head in her lap.

"What are you going to do if he's yours?"

"I-I don't know." I stuttered out breathing shakily. "I've just been hoping that he isn't." I admitted.
