Hello Saturday. Justin left this morning and now he's probably in New York. I sighed laying my head on my pillow,

Made it back safely

I smiled getting that message from him, I missed his name appearing on my screen.

Yay. Knock em dead on that project!

You know I will

I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. What did it mean?

I heard a knock on the door which scared me but once I saw it was my mom I loosened up, "Hey."

"Hi. Justin back in New York?" She asked.

"Yep. Just texted me." I said smiling.

"So you two cool again?"

"Oh yeah." I said with a small laugh.

"I'm glad. You two make a great pairing."

"Thanks mom." I said smiling, for once not shutting her out when she said things about me and Justin.

She then left back downstairs and I got a call from Emma.

"Hey." I said pressing it to my ear.

"Is Justin in New York again?" She asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Cool. Does that mean I have my best gal pal back?" Emma joked.

"Oh shut up. Do you wanna come over?"

"Yeah I'll be over in an hour." She said the hanging up. I got in the shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed and made a small breakfast before Emma came over. A knock was soon heard on the door and I went to get it.

"Hey!" I said opening the door wider for her to come in.

"So." She said making her way up to my room, "How was it like being reunited with Justin?"

"Amazing." I said straightforwardly, "He made a video about me."

"What kind of video?"

"A really sweet video talking about how special I am and how much he loves me. It was just really shocking and sweet." I said with a cheeky smile.

"Aw." Emma replied, "So you two are friends again?"

"Best friends.. again." I laughed.

"Well that's great. Ethan misses you he's been talking about you non stop."

"I miss him too. But now everything's gonna go back to normal so it'll be fine."

"Good to hear. Now pop in some movies and let's party." She said plopping herself into my bed. I laughed plopping in right next to her.

Emma and I had a movie day where we just hung out and laughed the day away.

Hey babe, dinner tonight?

I looked at Ethan's message then over to Emma, "Ethan wants to go out tonight."

"Of course he does." Emma laughed, "What're you gonna wear?"

"I don't know. It doesn't matter though me and Ethan have been on plenty of dates."

"Doesn't hurt to look your best." Emma said directing her attention back to the tv. She's got a point.

Emma helped me get ready and I looked pretty good. She curled my hair for me and picked out a cute casual dress. Yep I was ready.

"I'm gonna get going but text me after your date!" Emma said excitedly.

"Okay." I laughed. A few moments late Ethan showed up at my door with the cutest tux ever.

"You look beautiful." He said looking me up and down.

"You look handsome." I blushed.

He took my hand leading me to his car then opening the door for me. He then got into the drivers seat and smiled to me, "Dinner here we come. I'm starving."

"Yeah me too."

We got to dinner and were seated right away.

"So did you enjoy the time with Justin?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered smiling.

"He seems cool."

"He is pretty cool." I laughed.

"I'm glad we can go back to being us. I missed not seeing you all the time."

"Yeah I missed you too." I replied.

"So I was thinking, tomorrow I could swing by your place and we'd just spend the day together, y'know like old times."

"Um, sure that sounds fun." I agreed.

"We could watch Hannah Montana, your favorite."

"Uh usually I'd love that but while Justin was here we finished all 4 seasons and I don't wanna watch it back to back because then I could get tired of it easily so.." I said a little awkwardly.

"Oh. Well something else."

"Yeah."

"What else.. did you and Justin do?" Ethan asked in a low tone.

"Nothing really. He was working on his project most of the time and when he finished we just watched tv and talked and stuff."

"Fun." Ethan said looking down.

"Yeah.."

"Well I'm glad I got my girl back." He said giving me a big smile.

"You never lost me." I lied. For a split second I wanted to be with Justin. When we kissed.. all I wanted was Justin. I looked down quietly searching my menu, feeling guilt fill up inside me.

After dinner Ethan drove me home.

"I had a great time." He said stopping the car.

"So did I." I smiled.

"I love you." He said kissing my forehead.

"I love you too." I said stepping out of the car. He drove away and I stared at my driveway for a second, I shouldn't have kissed Justin.

Hey love. Aced my project!

That's great suga. You deserved it

What've you been doing all day?

Emma came over, then I went out with Ethan

Fun, how was it?

It was good. The food was amazing!

Let me guess, you ordered hot wings?

You got it

Me and Justin haven't talked about the kiss which is making me think it really was nothing- which would be good.. right?

We continued texting the rest of the night until it got super late, and I got super tired. I soon went fast asleep.

The next morning when I woke up I saw a message from Ethan of him trying to see if he could still come over today. I agreed. I'm going to forget about that kiss with Justin and be happy with my boyfriend. Clearly that kiss was just a caught in the moment thing.

I got showered and ready. My parents went out for the day so the house was all to myself. Ethan soon texted he was on his way and I smiled. It's gonna be a good day.
