Fall

Meet the family

I was now on my way to pick up Justin from the airport. I first stopped at Starbucks to grab a quick ice coffee. After getting coffee I sped to the airport. I couldn't wait to see him again. I connected my phone to the Bluetooth in my car and played Ariana's album Sweetener . I called James to check on everything.
"Hello?" He answers
"Hey Jay Baby is every thing looking good so far?" I asked making a right.
"Yea hopefully everything should be there. If not a good portion of it will be there."
"James I really need everything to be there. Please try your best." I pleaded
"I will try my hardest but don't kill me if it's not." I laughed
"I'll try my hardest not too."
"Where are you now?" He asked
"I'm on my way to pick Justin up from the airport his plane lands in about 10 minutes." I said looking at my Apple Watch for the time.
"You're running late aren't you?" He chuckled
"You know it! I'm giving you a little time before getting there to have everything set. We'll prob stop and get Chic fil A before."
"Okay well let me get back to working my magic. Call me when your're close."
"Alright thanks again James."
"No problem." He said and I hung up the phone. I was about 10 minutes late for picking up Justin. I finally pulled into airport and walked inside. This little girl ran up to me and asked for a picture. She was so cute so I couldn't deny her. Her mother took our picture and we went our separate ways. I walked towards baggage claim and waited until I seen Justin.
About 10 minutes later I heard a bunch of commotion and screams. I looked up from my phone to see a bunch of people surrounding what I guessed to be Justin.
"Excuse me." I could here his voice through all of the yells. It made my heart flutter . I walked towards the crowd. I stopped right outside of the little circle that was formed.
"Hey guys I really need to get through here." I heard him say. The crowd pulled apart and we locked eyes. Justin instantly smiled when he seen me. I smiled back walking up closer to him. He grabbed me, held me by the small of my back and kissed me in front of everyone. The people took out their phones and began to take pictures and videos.
"Let's go." I smiled and grabbed his hands, leading him to the car. He put his suitcase in my trunk.
"Let me drive." He said holding me again. He placed a kiss on my forehead and I handed him my keys. I walked around to the passenger side of my car and hopped in. After we were settled in we drove off.
"Baby how was your flight?" I asked holding his hands. He turned to me and smile.
"I'm slightly jet-legged but other than that it went fine."
"Good. Are you hungry?"
Yea a little. Do you have a taste for anything?"
"Can we get some chic fil a please?"
"Yes we can."
"Yay!" We pulled into the nearest chic fil a and went through the drive thru.
"Welcome to chic fil a. What can I get you?"
"What do you want babe?"
"12 count and a half and half." I said to him.
"Can I have a 12 count meal with a half and half."
"Okay what's your sauce?" She asked
"Polynesian." I answered and he repeated.
"Would that be all?"
"No can I have a chic fil a sandwich meal with a sprite please."
"Okay got it. Does this complete your order "
"Yes."
"Okay your total is $15.85 please pull to the next window." We did as told and pulled to the next window. Justin pulled out his wallet and took out his card. He handed it to the girl in the window he smiled.
"I'm a huge fan." She told him. He smiled at her.
"Thank you." She handed him back his card and we drove to the next window to get our food. Soon we were on our way to his house. I pulled out my phone and texted James to tell him that we were on our way.
"You over there texting your side boyfriend?"
"Yeah I was just telling him not to call today because I'm spending today with you." I winked. He laughed and I joined in. I ate my fries and opened my Polynesian sauce. About half an hour later we pulled into the gate to get to Justin house. He drove us into the driveway. He turned the car off and grabbed his food and drinks.
"You ready?" He asked and I nodded. We both got out of the car. And went inside of his house. We put our chic fil a on the counter.
"Alright let's start this tour." He guided me to the living room.
"This right here is the family room. This is where I sit and watch tv. When my family comes over we chill in here. " he said pointing to a room with black couches and a flat screen tv right outside of the kitchen. We continued to walk into the dinning room.
"So here's my dinning room. I don't usually eat here only if we're having a special family gathering or some form of a party." He shrugged. The room consisted of a long black table that had a white runner in the middle of it with white flowers in the center. Around the table there were black chairs. In front of each chair were black place matts with white plates on top. Each plate had a wine glass next to it. A big chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling. Around the walls there were black and white framed pictures of his family.
"I love this table." I said looking around.
"You are more than welcome to change whatever you want though. I had the house decorated when I moved in."
"Okay." I smiled as we continued to walk down a hall.
"There are about 3 guest rooms on the first floor. We don't have to go through all of them though. I'll show you the important rooms." He laughed as we headed down to what I assumed to be the basement. When we got to the bottoms of the stairs we reached the theater. It looked like an actual movie theater. A big tv with reclining chairs filled the room.
"So here is the theater. I love to chill down here. This is more than likely where most of our movie nights will be." He wiggled his eyebrows. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I can't wait." I winked. We continued to walk until we reached another door.
"Alright babe this is the game room. When my friends come over we play a little game of ping pong. I win of course. We have the wii and Xbox down here and a whole bunch of other games. And in that closet there are board games." We headed back up the stairs. He stopped in front of the the door that led to the back yard.
"Outside is the pool and the guest house but that's not too important. I'm going to get to the good part, the bedroom." He cheesed.
"You're such a dork. Why are you smiling so hard?" I playfully hit him. I don't think Justin was prepared for his little surprise I had in store for him. Justin walked me up the stairs and we stopped in front of his door. He turned around and looked at me.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes Justin. The real question is are you ready?" I asked stepping forward and wrapping my arms around his neck. I placed a soft and supple kiss on his lips.
"You tryna get something started?" He asked kissing me again.
"No but I may have a little surprise for you though." I said taking his hand and opening his door. I took in his room and smiled. This is where I'll be living from now on. I looked around and everything was black and white just like the rest of the house.
"Why is your whole house so dark?" I asked turning to face him.
"Honestly I don't even know the interior designer said it was mature." He shrugged. I walked over to a door.
"Is this your closet?" I asked. He gave me a weird look.
"No my closet is over there." He pointed to the door across the room. I walked over to it.
"Show me your closet Bieber!" I said. He laughed and shook his head as he walked over to me.
"Are you planning on stealing my clothes?"
"Probably." I shrugged. Justin opened up the closet door and we walked inside. I smirked. Justin looked around and turned around to me.
"Is this your stuff?" He asked and a smile formed on his face. I nodded my head and smiled too.
"Are you moving in?"
"I mean technically I already have but yes. After last night I wanted to give us a real chance. I want to be with you. I know everything is moving fast. I'm going to take a leap of faith. I am going to trust you and put my all into this relationship. I felt like this was my first step to show you that I'm all in Justin. " I said nervously. He came over to me and picked me up spinning me around.
"I'm all in too baby girl. This marriage may not have to be fake after all. I will try to be the best husband/ boyfriend I can be." I kissed him and he kissed me back. I continued to peck his lips over and over again. I couldn't help but smile.
"All of this black and white has to go. It makes the house look too dark." I said
"Whatever you want to do, this is now your house too." He said standing behind me and holding me. He kissed my cheek and we stood still taking in each other's affection.
"What time is dinner?" He asked
"Well my family usually always eats at 6 so yea."
"Any advice?"
"Don't show fear. My grandma Rose can sense it from a mile away. They will throw a lot of questions at you but show them that your up for the challenge." I said
"Okay I think I can handle that." He laughed.
"Ughh I just can't believe your moving in." He squeezed me.
"Yup now we'll be hubby and wifey for real."
"That reminds me. We have a meeting tomorrow with our managers to talk about all of the things we are required to do. " I rolled my eyes and went over to the bed and sat down.
"Everything will be fine Bella."
"Yea hopefully. Just know that we'll probably be late to every event if we have to go together. I just can't seem to make it on time anywhere no matter how early I prepare."
"We'll work on it sweetheart because that is not okay." He said sitting next to me.
"I'm warning you ahead of time Justin. The more you rush the slower the process is." He looked at me and shook his head.
"You sound like a handful."
"I am. I play by my own rules. I'm working on being more thoughtful of other people times but my level of I don't care is high."
"Isabella all jokes aside that is not okay. How do people hire you to do jobs and you show up late?"
"Once I get there the process is easy. Beside I'm never disrespectfully late. The latest I would be is like 20 minutes."
"Well now that you're with me we will be on time. You will not ruin my rep." He laughed nudging me.
"I'll work on it just for you." I kissed his cheek.
"Thank you." He smiled.
"Let's go watch a movie." I suggested standing up and grabbing his hand.
"What do you want to watch?" He asked walking down to the basement.
"Let's watch Nobody's Fool." I suggested.
"I've never seen it."
"Really? This movie is one of my favorites." I smiled grabbing a blanket off the chair and laying back reclining the chair. Justin grabbed the remote and put the movie on. He then walked over to me and laid on top of me.
"Justin get your heavy ass off of me." I laughed
"Are you calling me fat." He fake cried.
"Yeah you need to lay off the Chic Fil A for a while boo." I patted his back. He's sobbed harder and louder.
"I can't believe you just said that." He covered his eyes being more dramatic.
"It's okay thickems I like you just the way you are." I kissed his hands and taking them from his face. He laughed at me and scooted over so that we shared the chair. The movie began and I spread the blanket across us. He got under me so that I could lay in his lap. He gently placed a kiss on my forehead and we watched them movie. Being in his arms felt right, like this is where I belonged.
About an hour later I felt Justin nudging me. I slowly opened my eyes.
"Come on its 5:00."
"Justin dinner doesn't start until 6:00." I reminded him. I stood up from the chair, folded the blanket, and followed him out of the theater. I went into the kitchen and into the fridge to grab a bottle of water.
"You need to get showered and dressed." He said.
"For what?"
"Dinner."
"Justin what's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"Nothing is wrong with it. I thought maybe you wanted to change. Don't think to much into it B I think you look gorgeous." He smiled. I returned the smile and walked passed him and up the stairs into our bedroom. I went into the closet and picked out my blue light denim washed high waisted jeans and my mustard yellow long sleeved turtle neck. For my feet I chose to wear my mustard colored thigh high boots. I put my outfit out on the bed and walked into the bathroom. I went to the shower and turned the water on to the highest hot temperature and shut the bathroom door. I like for the bathroom to turn into a sauna before I get in the shower. I could hear Justin walking into the room.
"Baby are you okay in there? There is smoke coming from under the door." He asked sounding very concerned.
"Yeah it's from the hot water. I like it to be like a sauna in the bathroom." I answer.
"Okay well I'm going to take a shower in the hallway bathroom so we can be on time. Do you mind passing me my soap?"
"Hold on." I opened the shower door and walked inside of it and grabbed his soup off of the holder. I wrapped my towel around me and walked out the bathroom and gave Justin his soap.
"Thank you beautiful." He pecked my lips.
"The pleasure is all mine." I smirked, seeing him without a shirt on. I walked back into the bathroom and put my hair up into a bun since I washed it last night. I washed my body off and stepped out. I opened the bathroom door and walked over to the bed. Justin walked into the room as well. We awkwardly looked at each other.
"I can change in the other room or closet if you want." He said scratching the back of his neck.
"No you don't have to. Just don't stare at me." I said.
"It's going to be a little hard but I will do my best." He chuckled. I grabbed panties and a bra from the drawer and I finally dropped my towel revealing my naked body. At first I felt a little uncomfortable but I reminded myself that he was my husband and he would eventually see me like this. I slid on my under garments and began to lotion my body.
"You are absolutely beautiful Isabella. Did you know that?" He asked. I could fill him behind me. I turned to face him and he was still in his towel. He smelled fresh and clean. He tilted my head up and kissed me. He lead kisses to my neck and then came back up to my lips again.
"Absolutely beautiful, I am willing to wait for you as long as you need me to wait." He said holding me while I was still in my bra and panties and he was still in his towel.
"Justin we're going to be late." I said shyly. The complements that he always gave were overwhelming in the best way.
"I know, I know but I just had to tell you how beautiful you were." He said walking away from me and into the closet. I smiled and rolled my eyes as I continued to get dressed. I sprayed my Victoria Secrets "Love Spell" body mist on before putting my clothes on." As I finished getting dressed Justin came back out fully clothed. He wore a mustard yellow sweater that matched mine, with jeans and his white slip on vans.
"You look good Jus." I compliment him.
"Thank you. I wanted to match your fly." I laughed at his corny joke. I looked down at my phone to check the time and noticed it was 5:30.
"Are you ready?" I asked him.
"Yeah lets go."
"Who's driving?"
"I'll drive if you don't want to."
"Oh perfect." He laughed as we walked down the steps and into the garage. We jumped into Justin's white Mercedes. I couldn't lie, I was just a little bit nervous about this dinner. I can't let Justin see that I'm nervous though, it will only make him more nervous.
"Bella?"
"Yeah?" I looked over to him.
"I'm nervous."
"Justin everything will be fine okay.  No matter what happens we will still be married." I joked trying to lighten the mood. He laughed and continued driving.
We finally pull up to the front gate of my family's house. I entered the code and the gates slowly opened. As we drove up the driveway I could see Justin beginning to tense up. I rubbed his leg and have him a reassuring smile.
"We're gonna be fine." I said as he put the car in park. We hopped out the car and I used my key to get in the door. The food hit our noses.
"Bella!" Tori walked up to me and hugged me. She looked over to Justin and smiled.
"Hey Justin." She said hugging him. He seemed to become a little less nervous as he hugged her back.
"It's good to meet you in person." She laughed causing him to laugh. We walked into the living room where my dad and granddads were. As soon as we entered the room my father immediately rose up from the couch and walking up to Justin. He stood in front of him sized him up.
"Are you scared son?" My father asked with a serious face.
"No sir." Justin replied nervously
"You should be." There was an awkward silence as my father stood in front of Justin. My father finally cracked a smile and began to laugh. My grandfathers began to laugh with him. Justin looked like he wanted to pee his pants.
"I'm just kidding man." He said patting Justin on his back. As a look of relief washed over Justin's face.
"Come and sit and talk with us." Grandpa Brad said.
" Are you going to be okay in here by yourself babe?" I asked him. He licked his lips and nodded.
"Ok well I'll be in the kitchen." I said kissing his cheek as Tori and I walked out.
"He's so cute." Tori said as we entered the kitchen. My sisters , mom, and grandmas were all in the kitchen.
"Hey." I said coming in and sitting at the island.
"Where is your husband?" My mom asked.
"He's in the living room with dad and grandpa."
"Well dinner should be ready in a few minutes." Rose said.
"Perfect."
"So you've moved out already." Rose said taking the chicken out of the oven.
"Yes grandma, my husband and I can't live separately."
"My husband and I can't live separately." She mocked me making faces. Everyone laughed.
"How long are you going to give me a hard time for?"
"Until the Lord leads me to stop." She laughed. I laughed rolling my eyes.
"He's cuter in person." Tori says as she winked.
"Are you trying to steal your sisters man?" Loretta asked laughing.
"Nah, but he is cute though."
"Now I'm excited for dinner. Ma are the boys coming to dinner?" Ken asked
"They should be on their way home now." She said looking at her watch. Just as we were about to carry on our conversation Justin walked in the kitchen and everyone turned their attention to him.
"Umm grandpa Tom and Brad want to know what time dinner will be ready?" He asked.
"You tell your grandfathers when I announce dinner is ready is when dinner will be ready." Grandma Rose said smiling. Justin smiled back. Now is the perfect time to introduce him.
"Baby come here." I said taking his hand. He stood behind my chair and wrapped his arms around my neck, and kissed my forehead.
"This is my mother Marjorie." I said as he went over to my mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug. She looked to me and winked. I playfully rolled my eyes.
"These are my grandmas Loretta and Rose." He went over to them and of course Loretta was nice and kisses his cheek and hugged him. Rose smirked at him.
"Are your intentions with my granddaughter pure?" She asked. Justin gave her his award winning smile.
"Of course Ms. Rose." He answered as she finally let him hug her.
"Call me grandma Rose." She said side eyeing him. He smiled and kissed her cheek. Justin came back over to me.
"I'm going to the back with your dad and grandpas." He looked me in my eye and smiled.
"Alright have fun." I said blushing. He extended his lips out and I kissed him back. He winked and exited.
"Girl!" London fanned herself.
"I know right!" I smiled.
"You're gonna fall in love with him I can tell." Rose said.
"Oh grandma it's too early for that." I said
"Girl bye listen to me. You be careful with that delicate heart of yours. I don't want you to end up hurt. He seems like a nice boy though." She smiled.

We all sat at the table and held hands to pray. "Lord thank you for this day. Thank you for a new addition to the family. Thank you God for bringing Justin into our baby Bella's life. May they grow in love and in relationship. Thank you for this food we are about receive and blessed the hand who prepared it. In Jesus name amen." Grandma Loretta end prayer "Amen." Everyone said. Just as we were about to dig in my brother Josh and Jeremiah walked in.
"You missed prayer." Rose said looking at them.
"Sorry grandma." Jeremiah said kissing her on the cheek and having a seat next to her.
"Practice ran a little long today." Josh smiled sitting next to me and nudging me.
"Well your sister has someone to introduce." Daddy said.
"Josh, Miah meet Justin. He's my husband."  Josh choked on his sweet tea.
"Your what?!"
"Husband."
"Since when?" said Jeremiah.
"A couple days ago."
"Rose you allowing us to go off and get married now?" Josh looked over to her.
"Hush up boy and mind your business." She said.
"It's nice to meet you man." Josh reached over me to shake Justin's hand.
"You might want a divorce after you see what she looks like when she wakes up in the morning." Jeremiah joked.
"You know I was thinking that when she woke up from her nap earlier." Justin joked with him. I looked over to him.
"I like him." Jeremiah laughed.
"I'm kidding baby you're gorgeous when you wake up."  I playfully rolled my eyes.
"So Justin anything new coming up?" Ken asked.
"I'm working on some more music as we speak."
"Awe man are you going to write songs about my big headed sister?" Josh laughed.
"Maybe." He said winking at me. I blushed and ate my food.
"Okay well next week is the family reunion and it's in Georgia. Will you guys be coming?" Mom looked at us.
"Ma I told you I had some VS shoots next week. Maybe I can come down after."
"Baby family is important." Loretta said.
"I know grams. I'll try to make it."
"Well Justin you are more than welcome to come even if Bella doesn't come. I would love to whoop you in basketball." My father said.
"I kinda told her I would go to her shoot with her for support. I will make sure we're both there though." He smiled.
After dinner Justin and I sat out back in the hammock under the lights.
"You have such a beautiful family." He said
"Thank you. They are very important to me."
"I can see why." He smiled.
"I think they like you."
"I'm not to sure about Rose yet." He laughed.
"She's a hard ass." I laughed as we swung back and forth.
"Yeah but she seems great."
"She is."
"I'm glad I was forced to marry you." I smiled looking up at him. He chuckled.
"I'm glad you agreed to marry me." I sat up and looked him in his eyes and kissed him.
"I could get used to your kisses." I smiled
"I sure hope so, because I'm the only man you'll be kissing." He laughed.
"I'm ready to go home." I said.
"Come on then." He got up giving me his hand so that I could get up too. We walked into the kitchen and both grandmas were cleaning up. I gave each of them a kiss.
"Are you coming over for breakfast in the morning?" Rose asked.
"Of course." Justin answered.
"Why don't you guys just stay here tonight? Sleep in Bella's room." She insisted. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Grandma Justin and I have our own home. We will see you in the morning okay?"
"Justin and I have our own home." She mocked. Justin laughed at her.
"Do not encourage her foolishness. She's not funny." I laughed. I walked out the kitchen and daddy was standing by the door.
"Bye daddy." I said giving him a hug.
"I like him. A lot." He said.
"Me too." I smiled. Justin came up behind me and shook my dads hand.
"Justin it was great meeting you. I can't wait for the reunion." My dad shook his hand.
"Likewise sir."
"Bye Justin!" My sisters waved from the balcony.
"Bye" he waved with a smile.  We walked outside and got into the car. The ride home was filled with comfortable silence. The radio played softly in the background.
