Part 18

*Selena’s POV*

Did he really just say what I thought he said? Did he say he loved me?

I swallowed hard trying to get my head straight. Did I love him? Yes but I can’t just fall that easily again. I can’t allow myself to get hurt like that. The question wasn’t if I love him, it was if I was ready to tell him.

“Selena? Are you okay you don’t look too good,” Justin said holding onto my elbow gently.

“Uh,-” I said before getting cut off by Brayden running backstage.

“That was really amazing,” Leigh said hugging both of us.

“We raised a lot of money. You wouldn’t even believe it,” Scooter said joining us.

“That’s great,” Justin said smiling but for some reason the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

We hugged everyone goodbye before I looked at Justin, “Can you meet me at my place? I want to talk.”

He nodded and we both grabbed our keys heading out to our cars.

The drive home in my car was completely silent. I didn’t bother turning the radio on due to the fact that I had a lot of thinking to do.

When we both pulled up to my house I knew it was time. There was no more escaping. I had to do what I had to do.

I opened up the door and we both walked in awkwardly. “Are you thirsty?”

“I’m okay,” he said sitting on the sofa.

“Selena.”

“Justin,” we both said at the same time.

“You go first,” we both said causing us to laugh.

“No seriously, you go first,” I said giving him the floor.

“Selena, I know that I said I love you but that doesn’t mean I expect anything from you. Do I love you? Yes, but I’ll wait. I don’t expect you to just give in-”

“I love you Justin,” I said.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?” he asked shocked.

“I love you,” I said walking over to him, straddling him.

I moved my face so my lips were brushing lightly against him. “I love you.”
