Broken Pieces Part 33

*Justin's POV*

"We should get a family portrait done. Don't you think that would be cute?" I asked as I watched Selena get ready for her 'date.'

Even after hours of begging, she still wanted to do this the 'nice way'.

"Yeah, that would be great. We could hang the pictures in the living room and in the hallway. I think that's a really great idea, Jay," she commented.

"Do you have to look so irresistible for a fake date?" I asked checking her out from head to toe.

"Should I change?" she asked in a worried tone.

"Well if you want to make it easy, I say yes. If you want his heart to shatter, then that outfit is perfect."

She threw her head back and groaned going into the closet and changing for the 5th time.

"Sorry babe!" I called out to her with a laugh.

"Daddy, why is Selly getting dressed? Are we going somewhere?" Emma asked as she laid next to me on our bed.

"Selly has a friend coming over," I explain looking down at my beautiful daughter.

"Do I get to meet them?" she asked innocently.

I shook my head, "I don't think so, baby. I don't even go to meet them."

"Okay, is this better?" Selena asked stepping out of the closet.

"Much better," I said with an approving nod.

"Good. Now rule time," she said, clapping her hands together. "Number one, no going downstairs. At all. Number two, be quite if I hear y'all I will be so mad."

I smiled and chucked.

"What?" she asked.

"You're really cute when you say y'all," I said with a laugh.

She rolled her eyes even though she was blushing, "Anyways, as I was saying, if y'all mess this up. I will be so mad, and I'll probably be staying at Taylor's for a while. Got it?"

I sat up straight and saluted her, "Ma'am yes ma'am."

She narrowed her eyes at me, "I'm serious Justin."

"I never said you aren't. Now time for my rules. One, no touching. Two, he looked at you wrong I will chop his balls off. Clear?"

She gave me a fake smile, "Crystal."

I returned it in a playing manner, "Perfect. Now go and make it choppy. You have one hour."

She raised her eyebrow at me, "Oh now I have a time limit?"

"Yes, the moment the doorbell rings, that's when the time starts."

"Pushy," she mumbled under her breath.

*Selena's POV*

The moment the door rang, I began to get super nervous. I hurried and rushed over to the door opening it up to a smiling Mason.

"Hey," I said stepping aside to let him in.

"Hey," he smiled giving me a quick hug.

"I was thinking we could watch a movie or something?" I said as we talked through the foyer into the living area.

He nodded giving me a smile, "Sounds great."

"Good," I said sitting down on the sofa.

He sat next to me and I began feeling really weird about the whole thing. Maybe Justin was right all along. Guess it was too late to back out now.

I grabbed the remote off the coffee table and clicked the play button settling into me seat, trying to avoid all eye contact with Mason.

He sure didn't waste time trying to make a move on me.

I sighed, I guess we were going to have to do this sooner rather than later.

"Mason, look," I started,"you see the thing is that, I'm kind of with Justin again."

Mason let out a breathy sigh pulling his arm back. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"I think you are a great guy and I would love to stay friends with you," I said with a smile trying to cut the tension and awkwardness down.

He nodded and returned an awkward smile, "Yeah that sounds great."

We sat there staring blanking at the colors moving on the screen before he turned to me a pressed his lips harshly against mine.

My eyes widened and I automatically pushed him off of me, "Mason, what were you thinking!"

"No one touches my girl like that," I heard coming from the stairs.

I put my hands in my head for one quick moment before standing up and rushing over to Justin's side trying my best to calm him down.

"Get out," Justin growled in Mason's direction.

I put my hand on Justin's chest in a soothing manner and looked over at Mason, "You should go. I'll...um, text you."

Mason bowed his head and walked over towards the door. "Bye, Sel," he said as he walked out.

"You see that? That right there is why I didn't want this to happen!"

"I understand that you are upset but at least I pushed him off, okay? I didn't want him to kiss me. I even told him about us and he still did it. It's not like I even kissed him back."

He shrugged out of my grasp, "I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."

"Justin, don't do this."

"I gave you space when you asked for it, that's what I'm doing. I just, I need some time to think, okay?"

Without letting me reply, Justin walked away from me. I watched as he walked up the stairs right past our room and into the guest room.

Great, you sure did it this time, Selena. After you fixed everything, after everything was going perfect you still managed to mess it all up.

The worse part was not knowing how I would fix this, or if it was even fixable.
