Mood: satisfied

Place: hotel room in France

We were about to leave for France.  My mind was still frantic after talking to Justin a few days ago.  He really is giving me time.  What do I need to do in this time?  I need to get my own act together.  I need to find who I am before I find someone who can be with me.

I was packing the last of the clothes that I had laundered last night in my bag.  Yes, I still have to do laundry on this tour.  This tour is three months!  My clothes can’t last that long.

After packing all my clothes, I dressed in some black yoga pants, gray UGGS, and a white v-neck.  I felt like doing my makeup, oddly.  I grabbed my cosmetic bag and slowly lined my eyelids with glittery, brown eyeliner and added three coats of clear mascara.  Then I added Cinnamon-Mint Mentha lip shine and smiled.  I looked decent.

I grabbed my suitcases and headed down the hall.  Through the clear doors of the elevators, I could see that all the dancers and the crew were waiting in the lobby already.  It was 2:17 in the morning.  We had to leave early because we were afraid that fans might bombard all of us.  If they saw us, someone might not come home with an arm.

We loaded the three buses that were in front of the lavish French hotel.  There was one for the crew, one for the dancers, and one for Justin and his special guests.  Thankfully, I was on Justin’s special bus because we were so close.  I put my bags in the storage and headed in, holding my small duffle bag carry-on.  Once on, I realized that Justin was the only one in the bus. 

“Where is everyone?” I asked.

“Oh, didn’t I mention? Ryan and Chaz were leaving right after the stay in France.”

I sighed.  I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.  Lugging my stuff where my bunk was, Justin stayed where he was in his room that he slept in.  The two bunks that Ryan and Chaz slept in were empty.

I lay down on my bunk.  My eyes were feeling heavier and heavier.  That is until, that dick-face named Justin turned up the volume on his stereo, blasting Conor Maynard’s ‘Can’t Say No’.

“JUSTIN.” I said sternly, pulling back the curtain and looking him dead in the eye.

“Sorry, Jessica,” He sent me a cheeky grin, that only made me smile.  He turned down the volume.

“Stay awake with me?” He asked, as I sat down next to him.

“Only because I love you,” I huffed.

He smiled so wide it looked like it hurt.  He grabbed my hand and sat down on the floor.  When he saw me still standing, he pulled me down, making me land in his lap.  My face heated up and I turned away.  He chuckled and looked through a cabinet filled with movies and television shows.

“What do you-?”

“AWKARD!” I squealed grabbing one of the seasons.

“Awkward it is then.” 

He popped in the disc and grabbed some food from the little kitchen area while I checked my Tumblr Dashboard.  I sat on the couch, in front of the TV.  Upon looking up, I saw Justin holding a huge bag of sour cream and onion chips and two vitamin waters.  I smiled at him and grabbed one of the vitamin waters, taking a huge gulp.  I sat cross-legged on the couch while Justin spread out his legs and pressed play.

“Yeah, you go Jake! She’s a stupid blonde anyway! You could do so much better!”  I said in-between sips of vitamin water. 

Justin groaned, “Jay, please shut up.” 

I laughed and smiled up at him. 

“My bad, Jay.” I said.

I switched my position and lay my head in Justin’s lap.  The next episode started, showing the part where Jake and Jenna kissed in the previous episode.  I felt Justin’s hand go down and gently caress my long black hair.  Goosebumps arose on my arms.  My breathing was caught off guard.

“Justin…” I breathed out.

“Yes, Jessie?”

“Can you uh get me vitamin water?” I asked, “I just finished mine.”

I could feel him shift, “Sure give me a minute.”

He got up and I sat up on the couch.  I need time.  I can’t make up my mind if he’s petting my head! I stopped the episode we were on and laid down.  I was tired from being up this early.  Next thing you know, I was sound asleep.

I awoke to the smell of cologne, very strong cologne.  My eyes opened slowly.  The light coming from the window made me wince.  I turned and saw Justin sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at his phone.  Am I in his room?

“Jay?” I asked sitting up.

“Good morning, gorgeous.” He smiled at me.

“What am I doing here?” I asked looking around at all the different things his fans had given him.

“You crashed this morning and I didn’t want to sleep alone.”  His face turned red.  He didn’t want to be alone.

“Well thanks, Justin.”  I kissed his cheek quickly and  walked out to the bathroom. 

I changed into a pair of high-waist shorts and tucked in an American flag tank top with a bandeau underneath.  My makeup from yesterday was still on my face, slightly smudged.  I took makeup remover and replaced it with a few dabs of liquid concealer.  I walked out and saw Justin heating up a breakfast hot pocket in the microwave. 

“Sorry I couldn’t give you anything better.” He laughed nervously.

“It’s fine Justin.” I smiled reassuringly as he handed me a steaming hot pocket with eggs, bacon, and sausage.

We have a show tonight.  Only three more hours of driving and we can settle into a new hotel in Madrid, Spain.
