*Justin’s POV*
I woke up the next morning with Selena still peacefully sleeping and her head still on my chest. I smiled and kissed the top of her head.
I didn’t want to move because I didn’t want to wake her so I laid there thinking about the night before. Our date last night had gone great… so great that she even had agreed to sleepover.
I can tell that she was used to this though. She was used to sleeping over guys’ houses. And I honestly didn’t know how to feel about this. I didn’t know Selena that well and I didn’t know if she went out with a different guy every night. But at the same time I had no right to not trust someone that had never lied to me before.
I felt her move around and she groaned before her eyes fluttered open. “Good morning.” I chuckled.
“Good morning.” She smiled and wrapped her arms around me tightly, cuddling up closer to me.
“You sleep good?” I asked and she nodded.
“Last night was one of the best dates I have ever had.” She whispered and kissed me sloppily.
“One of the best?” I raised my eyebrow.
“Ok the best date.” She laughed.
*Selena’s POV*
I knew what I was doing was stupid. I shouldn’t have slept over and I knew it. I knew I’d regret it in the morning. But there was also another reason why I shouldn’t have slept over and I was hoping Justin wouldn’t find out why.
I sat up and got my phone from the night stand seeing that I had three missed calls from my mom and two text messages from her. I knew she wasn’t mad that I had slept over here, she was used to me sleeping over at somebody’s house and not informing her about it and I knew that she must have seen my car in front of Justin’s house.
‘Selena, your medication. you need to take it. you know what can happen if you don’t’ read one of the texts from my mom and I rolled my eyes.
‘Selena Marie! I don’t want you to get seriously hurt. you should have at least taken your medication with you. do you want me to go drop it off before work?’ Read the other text message.
‘No mom, I’m fine. I’ll be fine for a few hours without taking it.’ I quickly texted her back.
I really did love my mom but she was so overprotective. I guess I really couldn’t blame her though. Seeing me in the hospital all those times about to die must have been scary. I just wish she would lay off a little bit.
“Hey, my dad made breakfast. You wanna change or you don’t mind going down like that?” Justin asked as he slipped on some basketball shorts and quickly threw a white t-shirt over his head.
“Would they care if I went down like this?” I asked shyly. I honestly didn’t mind going down like this but I didn’t want to look bad in front of Justin’s dad and friends.
“No.” He laughed. “Now c’mon, I’m hungry.” He grabbed my hand and we ran down the stairs where we saw everyone was already serving themselves pancakes and other fattening breakfast food.
There were two empty seats so Justin and I sat next to each other. I waited for all the guys to get their food and just sat there quietly. I may have a loud mouth but that’s only once I get to know you. So yes, I was being shy and quiet because I didn’t want to make an even bigger fool out of myself.
“Well, well, well look who decided to join us.” Justin’s friend, who I had learned was named Chaz stated once everyone settled down.
“Very funny, Chaz.” Justin retorted sarcastically as he took a bite of his pancakes.
“Oh but wait a minute, we missed their walk of shame.” Chaz said and Justin’s other friends, Ryan and Alfredo laughed. Justin’s dad just shook his head. I could feel the heat start to rise to my cheeks though so I looked down and let my messed up hair cover my face.
“Shut up.” Justin groaned. “We didn’t even do anything.”
“Sure you didn’t.” Ryan replied sarcastically and Justin just rolled his eyes. I was used to hanging out with guys. I was used to all the immature conversations so it didn’t really bother me.
“Sel, you haven’t even served yourself food.” Justin whispered into my ear.
“Right sorry.” I apologized. For what? I wasn’t sure.
“Don’t apologize.” He chuckled. I struggled to reach for the food that was in the middle of the table so Justin grabbed my plate and served me some pancakes and bacon.
I started to take small bites as I listened to the guys’ conversation and stayed quiet. I like listening to people talk. I liked listening to what they had to say so I just enjoyed my breakfast while listening to them talk. Justin and I held hands under the table the whole time though and I didn’t mind at all.
“Why are you suddenly being so quiet?” Justin asked concerned.
“I’m just shy when it comes to people I don’t know.” I shrugged.
“You weren’t shy when you first met me.” He chuckled.
“Maybe it’s because I really did want to have a conversation with you.” I winked.
“Yup, that’s totally what you wanted to do.” He said sarcastically.
“Shut up.” I laughed and hit his shoulder playfully. “Just be happy I’m here with you right now.”
“Oh I’m very happy about that.” He smiled and kissed my cheek before going back to his conversation with the rest of the guys. Justin was really nice and I was having a great time, I just hope that these few hours without my medication won’t ruin things and scare Justin away. I just don’t want to be judged anymore and I’m scared that Justin will stop talking to me if he finds out about what I have.
