Fools Fall In Love

Chapter 9

Justin's POV

"Wow."

That was the only word that came out of my mouth after our lips touched together. I pulled away and looked into her beautiful brown eyes. "Ariana, I wanna be the one to treat you like you deserve. I wanna be the one who makes you feel so special inside. I wanna do things for you, and I want to be your everything." I saw her face glow so bright it it could light up a room. I'm nervous and kind of shakey. I'm ready to ask her to be my princess. "Ari, will you please be my girlfriend?" The room was silent for a brief moment. She stared at me and slowly looked down. I thought to myself, she's gonna reject me. 

She asked me, "Be honest with me here. Are you still in love with Selena?" 
My eyes widened. I didn't know what to say, because there was a part of me that does love her, but there's also the other side where I'm over her, and I'm falling hard for Ariana. 

"I'll be honest. I'm always going to love her. She was my first real girlfriend, and my first real love, so of course there are feelings there. But Ari, I'm moving on, and I'm over her. I've fallen for you, hard, and I can't pretend anymore. I want to be with you." 
I wasn't going to lie to her and tell her, yes i'm completely over her because I'm not, but I am completely done with her. Ariana smiled big and I pulled her up so we were facing eye to eye. She bit her beautiful soft lips, and slowly kissed me. I smiled against her lips. I've never felt a bigger spark. I just thought in my head how beautiful she was, how much I really liked her, and that I felt like it was kind of deeper than just liking her.

I smiled against her lips once more, and pulled back. "So is that a yes?" I said, gently chuckling.
"Of course I will be yours, idiot." she said, laughing as if this were a fairytale. 
"There's still something I need to tell you." I said rubbing her soft cheek. "Alright?" she replied.

"I think I'm in love with you." 

Ariana's POV

When he kissed me, he really made me feel like a princess, but there's that one tiny problem I don't wanna face. Can you guess? Selena freaking Gomez. 
Justin looked at me, and expressed to me his feelings for me, and make me smile real big. He wants to be with me? Why? I asked myself. 
I wanted to just kiss him right away and tell him how I felt, but I couldn't because of her. I need to know what he feels about her, so I asked him. He told me that he's always going to love her, and I can't blame him, right? I was with Jai for a long time, and I'm always going to love him too, which is kinda why I'm okay with this situation.

I'm really happy he didn't lie to me. It means I can really trust him, and I love that.

He finally asked me. After all the times that we've kissed, hugged and looked at each other that way, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend. Let's be honest here. I really wanted to jump up and down and say yes, but I kept it subtle and just kissed him gently. 
Feeling his soft, pink lips against mine, was like being Cinderella. I felt like his princess and I found my prince.

He smiled at me and said, "So is that a yes?" 
I replied with, "Of course I will be yours, idiot." followed with a giggle. I was trying to be playful and cute at the same time. I hope he knew that. 
He stared at me for a brief moment, and said, "There's still something I need to tell you." I'd be lying if I said those words didn't scare me. I thought he was going to say something about Selena, or that he still has feelings for another girl, or something in that nature.

I never expected those seven words to ever be spoken by him to me. It made me nervous.

"I think I'm in love with you." I didn't know how to react, only because I don't know if I'm in love with him. How am I supposed to handle this?
