Fancy Dinner Parties Part 2

9:47 pm

Justin Bieber's Grandmother's House. Stratford, Canada.

Justin's POV

I had just walked into my old bedroom so I could change my shirt so it wasn't full of champagne anymore. I'm honestly not mad at Rachel because I know it was an accident. As I stood there looking through shirts, I heard the door open. "Babe, I told you to stay there with Josh. I'll be down in a second." I said, not even bothering to turn around to see who was there.

"Not your girlfriend." The woman replied and I turned around to see my mom. "Oh. Hey, mom. Sorry, I thought you were Rachel. I left her down there with Josh so I expected her to come up here and find me because he's a little bit intimidating." I admitted. "It's okay." She replied, helping me pick out a shirt.

"Everything's exactly as I left it." I said, looking around the room. "I keep telling your grandma to put your things in a box and stick them in the attic. But, she insists on keeping everything like this. It makes her feel like you're still here. She was so upset that you didn't move back here like you were supposed to. She's not alone in that." My mother admitted.

"Mom, I told you why I didn't come back. I love my job in LA. Plus, there's a few things there that I want to wait out." I replied, putting on the shirt she handed to me. "Does one of these things happen to be named Rachel Taylor?" She asked, causing me to smile. "Well, yes." I replied. "You know, I appreciate you bringing her out here to meet us. I find her to be very impressive." She said. "I think she is, too." I replied. "Well, I'll let you go back downstairs and find her. I just wanted to come have a chat with you alone." I smiled before putting my suit jacket back on and leaving the room, going downstairs to find Rachel.

Rachel's POV

I stood on the back lawn of Justin's grandmother's house with Josh and Stephanie. Justin still hadn't came back from changing his shirt, and I honestly wish he would. Josh and Stephanie have not stopped flirting since they met, and I'm not mad. I just feel a little bit like a third wheel.

"Really? You were a reporter at the 2016 Olympics in Rio? That's awesome!" Stephanie said, smiling over what Josh had just told her. "It's actually quite funny. I get the same reaction from people every single time I mention it." Josh said. "I don't blame them. It's very impressive." She said. "What about you Miss 'Work For Fashion Week'? He teased. "Yeah. I just get to hang around supermodels all day. It's super fun." She said sarcastically.

Just as I was about to interfere with their conversation, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see Jessica. "Jessica! It's so good to see someone that I actually know besides Justin here. How are you?" I asked, hugging her. "I'm great. How are you? I've missed you!" She asked. "I'm doing good." I replied, smiling. "I see you've met Josh." She said, gesturing to him. "Yeah, he's an interesting one. Him and my friend have been flirting all night." I said, laughing. "Oh yeah. Stephanie Harris, right?" She asked. "Yeah. How do you know who she is?" I asked.

"Everyone at this party is talking about Justin Bieber's girlfriend and the friend she brought. Trust me, word travels fast around here." Jessica said. "Yes, I've noticed." I giggled. "Rachel! Who is this?" Stephanie asked, noticing that I was talking to someone else. "Stephanie, this is Jessica. She's one of Justin's cousins. Jessica, this is Stephanie. We were roommates in college and now we're best friends." I introduced.

"It's so nice to meet you, Stephanie." Jessica smiled. "You too, Jessica." Stephanie said, shaking her hand. "Hey, Josh." Jessica said, noticing him. "Hi, Jess. How are you?" He asked, hugging her. "I'm good. How are you?" She asked, returning the hug. "I'm doing good. Quite a party." He said, noticing all the people. "Yeah. You know my grandmother loves throwing fancy dinner parties." She said.

As all of us stood there making small talk, our attention was turned to the back of the house, where Justin's grandmother was about to make her big entrance. "Speaking of the lady of the house." Josh said as all of us walked back towards the house so we could see her. As we waited in line to get our turn with her, I suddenly felt an arm snake around my waist. I jumped before turning around to see Justin.

"There you are." I said, hugging him. "I've been looking all over for you." He said, rubbing my back. "I was in the backyard talking to Jessica, Stephanie, and Josh." I replied. "I don't know if you noticed. But, the backyard isn't exactly small." He said, laughing. I smiled back at him as it was our turn to go see his grandma. "Come on." He said, taking my hand and leading me over to her.

"Grandma. How are you?" He asked, leaning down to kiss her on the cheek. "Justin, I'm good. How are you, sweetie?" She asked. "I'm well. There's someone I want you to meet." He said, taking my hand again. "Grandma, this is my girlfriend. Her name's Rachel Taylor." He said, stepping back so I could have my time with her. "Hello. Your house is amazing." I smiled. "Thank you, Rachel. You and my grandson make a good looking couple. You are very beautiful." She said, standing up to hug me. "Thank you so much. I'm excited to get to know you better during my time here." I said. "Likewise. Well, I'll let you two go. Rachel, it was so nice to meet you." She said. "You too." I said as I walked out of the area with Justin.

"You know, I like Justin and Rachel together. They make a beautiful couple. But, he seems different." Emma said, turning to Pattie. "When children are away from home too long, they forget who they are." Pattie said.

I have decided that the role of Justin's bitchy ex-girlfriend is going to be played by Mrs. Bieber herself, Hailey Baldwin. I didn't want to do Selena because that happens way too much in other stories. You'll meet her in the next chapter...hehe.
