"Juliet!" Justin's cheerful voice appeared behind me, causing me to turn around to look at him with a smile slowly forming on my face.

In a nanosecond, his arms were around my waist and I was pulled into his arms for the longest and tightest hugs of my life. My smile grew bigger. I let out a soft laugh and wrapped my arms tightly around his neck, probably equally as tight as his arms around me.

I liked this feeling. It made me...happy. Happy to know that I knew my idol and we were hitting off (not in the sexual way that you might be thinking) well. Now he wasn't just a simple idol in my heart. He was my friend, and I'm lucky enough to have him in my life.

We stayed in this position for a little while more before Alfredo decided to pull us both apart by grabbing the belt hoops on our jeans, shooting us sneaky glances that were evident he was suspicious between Justin and me.

L-O-L, what was there to grow suspicious about? Justin and I were just friends.

...or so, you thought, that oh-so familiar voice at the back of my head spoke up, causing me to gulp the saliva gathering in my mouth, superly, duperly hard.

Well, thank you for getting my heart pumped up and racing. Oh, and raising my hopes when I should have them lowered at all times so as to not risk any heartbreaks.

"You cheeky kids are up to something... Better get a room, soon," Alfredo ended his statement off with a whistle full of mischief before stalking off, sending multiple winks at Justin's and my way. I burst out laughing almost at the same time Justin did.

"Ignore that guy," Justin shook his head and let out a sigh of amusement, "all the smiles he's been having on his face had released endorphins. That's why he's unusually abnormal." He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and led me back to somewhere I didn't know.

But, I trusted him.

And, I haven't answered him.

"Really, now? Is he just abnormal now, or has he been ever since?" A corner of my lips twitched, and in a matter of seconds, it curved upwards and I was wearing a clean smirk on my face. Justin returned me a smirk.

"Well...he could be normal. Most of the time........when he wants to," he shrugged his shoulders and faced me while he wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed yet again. "So, you excited for tonight?"

"Make that a, I-am-so-excited-I-might-just-pee-in-my-pants-right-now. Oh, um, I mean, yeah, sure. I am extremely excited!" I shot him a toothy grin. I think I looked like how I looked when I was five and Mom had promised to take me to the park to play.

I hope I didn't look like that.

A deep, raspy laugh left his throat and the goosebumps on my arms rose. Crap. Heck. Darn. Bieber!  I cleared my throat and scrunched my nose up to calm myself down. And because the tip of my nose was itchy, but oh.

"There's a lot planned tonight, so try not to leave where you're asked to sit, alright?"

I nodded, grinning again. Then I felt the back of my ears heating up, and the heat slowly traveled to my cheeks, resulting in me blushing. I can't believe I'm about to say this to him. "Uh, Justin, where's the, uh, toilet?"

He chuckled. Just then, Carin walked past us (she seemed like a hurry) but Justin held his hand out to stop her movement, "Car, can you bring Juliet to the little girls' room?"

She flashed me a smile, and then a glare to Justin when she met his eyes, "Just so you know, the term 'restroom' is available, as well, you know."

"Well, so is 'little girls' room', so," he stuck his tongue out at her before turning to me, "Carin is going to lead you to where you're gonna be sitting all throughout tonight, until something ends, and then, yeah. So...yeah. I'll see you when you're out."
