Friends With Benefits

Macks P.O.V.

I wake up the next morning to Justin snoring in my ear. I turn over and smile at him, he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I quietly get up and decide I'm going to make him breakfast. 

Once I'm in the kitchen, it becomes second nature. Partly because I pretty much know where everything is. As I'm crisping the bacon and flipping the pancakes, I hear Justin coming down the stairs. I turn around and see him standing in the door way looking me up and down. I look down at what I'm wearing and forget that I had put on his shirt last night after we um.. you know. I blush and turn back to the stove. 

"You seem to be in a good mood this morning. Can I ask why?" Justin walks and sits as the island in the kitchen. 

"Well I met this guy at a bar a couple months ago and we got really drunk together and he let me come stay at his place because I didn't really have anywhere to go," I look back at Justin to see if he's listening and he's smirking up at me. So I continue, "So I staying with him for a while and got scared the maybe he thought I was free loading off of him so I left and ruined a really great thing we had going." 

The room fell silent. I couldn't really believe I let that slip out of my mouth. Justin pulled me out of my thoughts by saying, "What happened next?"

I cleared my throat and continued on like I hadn't just made everything really weird. 

"Well, the amazing guy found me, at my moms, and begged and begged for me to come back to his place. Finally, after a longer time then probably necessary I went back with him. Moved in and everything. We had the amazing time back at his house, probably one I'll never forget. You should meet him. I have a funny feeling you guys would get along great." I heard Justin laugh behind me and it made me smile. I then heard the stool he was sitting on scrape against the floor. I felt his muscular arms wrap around me and he laid his head in the space between my neck and shoulder. 

"I don't ever want you to think I don't want you here. I need you here." He said against my shoulder. He then left a tender kiss where his chin sat. 

We were sitting outside eating our breakfast. It was a beautiful morning, the sky was blue and the birds were singing. Everything seemed perfect. Of course, I couldn't help but think it was going too perfect but I'm trying to make it last. I honestly can't help but think about why Luke cheated on me, I got boring. The beginning of Luke and I's relationship was exactly like Justin and I's. We had sex all the time and were madly in love. He even proposed to me two weeks after we met but if you can't tell I have a fear of serious commitment so I told him to wait and ask me again in three years if we were still together. That never happened. As obvious as it may sound, I'm glad I never married Luke. I would have never met Justin or taken a step towards living my dream. But still, I can't help but think, what if Justin gets bored of me?

I cleared the plates and brought them back into the house. I needed to keep myself from being in my head for too long so I decided to go to Mindy's office and see if she could sign me as a model again. 

Justin's P.O.V.

Mackenzie left to go to her mangers office so now I'm home alone. I can't stop thinking about her. She's so effortlessly perfect. I'd never felt so strongly about having a girl live with me. Selena always tried to leave her stuff around and it always made me uncomfortable. Everything seems to have fallen into place with Mackenzie. I really truly love her and want to be with her forever but I'm scared she doesn't want that. Seeing how bad of shape Luke left her in, I didn't want to be another person in her life to give up on her. I don't think I ever could, she means too much to me. 

I decided to go up to the studio in my house to just play around with some stuff. I've been working on a new album since before I even met Mackenzie and for some reason since she came into my life, I've never been more inspired. I wanted to dedicate this album to her in some way. I picked up my guitar and just started playing random chords. 

Mack's P.O.V.

I walked out of Mindy's office with a smile on my face. I went in and told her everything that had happened with me going back home and then moving in with Justin. She told me she would sign me but I have to send her new headshots. I truly didn't think it would be that easy. The entire way there, I kept thinking of different reasons to tell her why she should sign me again. I walked in, talked for about an hour and walked out with a job. 

I got back to Justin's house and my house I guess. It's still so weird and seems almost unreal. I walked in and the first thing I heard was a guitar. Sounded like it was coming from the living room which was odd. I walked into the living room to see Justin walking back and forth with the guitar strap wrapped around his shoulder as he effortlessly played. I stood there watching him for a minute before he turned around and saw me. He blushed as if he were embarrassed and I suddenly felt guilty for interrupting. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." I continued standing there not really knowing what to do. 

"It's all good, you just scared me. I didn't think you'd be back for a while, how was your meeting?" He took the strap of the guitar off and placed it down on one of the chairs then sat down on the couch, patting the seat next to him. I walked over and sat down, instantly curling up in his arms. 

"It went really well. We only talked for about an hour and she said she would sign me again, I just have to get new headshots down, which will be easy. What did you do while I was gone?" I turned my head too look at him, genuinely interested in what he had to say. I watched him talked and I was completely mesmerized. 

"Well, I thought about you most of the time," he said causing me to blush, "and I've been trying to write a new song but I'm kind of having writers block so,"

He was so cute when he looked deep in thought. I couldn't help but smile a little at him. 

"What are you thinking about now?" I said after a while.

"Fucking you." He said in the most serious tone. I suddenly felt nervous but started to laugh because it was just such an honest answer. 

"Well, what are you waiting for?" That seem to pull him out of his thoughts. He looked at me with one of his eyebrows raised. I giggled and he picked me up and spun me around so I was laying on the couch now and he was in top of me. 

// the album justin is creating is just going to be a fake one. Its not going to be him working on purpose. seeing as this is a fake story I figured why not go all out lol
