Broken Pieces

Broken Pieces Part 49

*Justin's POV*

As the weekend approached us, I began to get more and more nervous about going out with Kate. I know that it was clearly not a date or anything but the fact that I had to hid it from Selena made me feel wrong.

I stood up and closed the doors to my sound proof office and went back to my desk and dialed Kate's number on my phone.

"Hello?" Kate's distinctive voice called through the phone.

"Kate, I don't think I can do this," I admitted, cutting straight to the point.

"What are you talking about?" she said in a hushed tone.

"This weekend, I don't know if I can do it. I don't feel right about it," I said truthfully.

I heard as she sighed, "Just, it's not a big deal. We are just going out to have some fun, let loose. It's not like anyone is going to die, chill."

I kind of felt like I was living a double life. Kate and I would contently text, while to Selena I would act like I loathed her. At first I did, but things had changed and now I realized that I was in love with her. The only question now was who did I love more?

I had spend countless hours in my office battling the pros and cons of each person. Listing off the reasons why I was in love with each of them.

Kate's came pretty easy. We have the bond of a child together. That was something that would never go away. We had history, and the history was fun and crazy, spontaneous. I would wake up next to Kate every morning and never know what that day had in store for us, because everyday was something special. It was never like the day before. I could be a kid around her.

But on the down side, Kate and I were always arguing. Of course it was always over nothing but we still fought day in and day out. She was crazy at times but not in the best way. Kate was also a liar and a cheater.

Selena, on the other hand, was sweet. I could be myself around her. She made me happy. It was safe with her. We had an emotional bond that no one could break but we also had a crazy physical attraction towards each other. I could see sparks when I kissed her. I felt alive with her. I felt like I was someone new.

However, I always have to be mature around her. She can joke around at time but she doesn't like the teenage side of me.

I admit that if I did get married to Selena like planned before I began to get feels for Kate, I would be happy. But there would always be a part of me that wondered what it would be like if I went back to Kate.

"Okay, I'm in. I'll meet you at 8", I said before hanging up the phone.

*Selena's POV*

"Emma have you seen Justin around?" I asked as I walked into her bedroom.

She shook her head, "No, I've been playing in here."

"Hm, that's odd. I can't seem to find him," I said as I sat on her bed watching her play.

"You can play with me if you want while you wait for him," she said with a small smile on her face.

I smiled and got up from the bed and sat on the floor next to her, "I would love to play with you."

We played house with her Barbies for a long time. We laughed and smiled and joked just like we had when we played tea party for the first time.

"Em, how would you feel about having a brother or sister?" I asked as I helped her put away her toys that we had played with when we were done.

"I would love a little sister!" She yelled, jumping up and down where she stood.

I know that it wasn't really her place to decide but to me her opinion mattered even if she was only 3.

I nodded and continued to put the toys away.

"Are you and daddy having a baby?" she asked after a few quite moments.

I placed a small fake smile on my lips and shook my head, "Not now. But when we do, you will be the first to know. I promise," I said.

She smiled and hugged me, "I love you, mommy."

At first I thought it was a mistake, but when she pulled away from the embrace from the look on her face it didn't look like it was a mistake.

"I love you too honey. I'm going to find your father now, why don't you go watch some TV down stairs? And be careful," I called out as she ran passed me and out the door.

I ran down the hallway checking the only room had yet to check. I opened the door and I heard Justin talking on the phone.

"Okay, I'm in. I'll meet you at 8," he said before throwing the phone back into the desk.

"Who was that?" I asked as I took a seat on one of the big red chairs that sat in front of his desk.

"Fredo. He called to ask if I wanted to go out with him and Twist tomorrow, for a guy's night out."

I sighed and sat back against the chair, "You know I don't really like Twist."

"And I didn't like Taylor but that never stopped you," he countered.

"Taylor was never a bad influence on me. I never got in trouble when I am with Taylor like you do with Twist," I fought back trying to keep my voice as calm as possible.

"Selena, I am 23 years old. I think I can handle myself. And I think I deserve a night off."

"Fine, but I swear if you do something that I wouldn't approve of, I will leave you in a heartbeat."

"Yeah, and you'll come running back just like you always do," he said with a snort.

"Excuse me?" I said taken back by his comment. "I do believe that you were the one who pursued me time after time. You even went on national television to say that you wanted me back. Plus you know what they say; fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. I promise that if you do anything to wreck what we built for us, I won't be stupid enough to go back to you. There are plenty of other people who want me," I said before stalking away angrily.
