Chapter Ten: "I'll Never Hurt You..."

Chapter Ten

"I'll Never Hurt You..."

Selena's Point Of View

"I'll be over in a few minutes, babe." Justin's text read.

I smiled as I replied back to his text with a simple "okay" before I closed my laptop and headed downstairs to wait for Justin's arrival.

"Why so happy?" my mother asks as I sit on the couch in the living room.

She was on her laptop. Most likely she was checking out on new online shopping deals.

"Justin is coming over." I say trying to hide my smile.

"Again?" she says. "Is something going on between you two?"

I could feel my cheeks starting to get hot. "N-no. We're just really good friends."

I didn't want to tell my mother about Justin and I right now because I didn't need her giving me a lecture about how I need to be careful around him, how I need to make sure that I call her if he tries to hurt me, or anything else that she will be worried about. I'll have to show her that Justin is way different from Tristan.

And that's going to take some time to do.

"Oh."

Both of our heads snapped towards the front door when the doorbell went off. I was quick to my feet and walked-more like fast walked-to the door. I opened the door to find Justin standing there with flowers in his hand.

He smiles as he takes a step in towards me. "For you." he says and holds out the flowers.

They were yellow roses; my favorite type of flower. How he knew I had no idea.

"Thank you." I say after I took in the sweet smell of the roses.

 "Is that Justin at the door?" my mother calls in from the other room.

"Yeah." I call back as I step to the side of the door so Justin could walk inside.

I walk us into the living room where my mother was. She looks up at us and her eyes widen a little.

"He gave you flowers?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah." I say.

"I thought you said that you guys were just-"

"We are." I lie. "Friends can give each other flowers, right?"

I could feel Justin's eyes on me. I knew he was confused on why I was calling us out as "just friends", when we're clearly not.

My mother remains slient.

"We're going to go upstairs." I break the awkward silence and lead Justin and I upstairs.

"Friends? Just friends?" Justin angrily says as we walk into my bedroom.

"Justin..." He was taking this the wrong way.

"Are you embarrassed to say that we're together? Do you not want to be together? If so, I will gladly leave right now and leave you alone."

"Justin, please calm down. You're jumping to conclusions that aren't even true." I say.

"Well it feel like you're embarrassed to say you're my girlfriend." he replies as he takes a seat on the edge of my bed. I take a seat down next to him.

"I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm with you. It's just that..." I trail off, unable to find the exact words to say.

"It's just...what? What is it Selena?" I could tell his anger was rising.

"It's just that I don't want to tell my mom about us yet."

"Why? You're still giving me the impression that you're embarrassed to be with me."

"Justin, I'm not embarrassed to be with you, okay?" I yell. "I don't want to tell her yet because she's going to freak out. Not because I'm with you, but because she's scared for me to be with anybody again after what Tristan has done to me. So she's going to be stressing me out about how I need to be careful when I'm with you and everything, and I just want to wait to tell her."

Justin takes my hand in his. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly." he says as his thumb rubs back and forth on my hand.

"It's okay. I'm sorry I haven't told my mom yet abou-"

"Don't worry about it. I understand."

"I'll tell her soon though." I reassure him. He nods.

An awkward silence falls over us. "So why did you want to hang out with me so badly today?" I ask to try and start a conversation.

"I just wanted to be with you." Justin replies.

He leans over and presses his lips against mine making butterflies fly around in my stomach. I love how he makes me feel nervous when we kiss. He always makes me get butterflies when I'm with him, and I love the feeling I get when he smiles at me.

Our lips move in sync as Justin puts one of his hands on my waist, turning my body towards him. I put my hand on the back of his neck as the kiss deepens.

How can one person make me feel this way?

"What would happen if your mom walked in on us making out?" Justin chuckles against my lips.

"I have no idea, to be honest." I reply with a giggle. I pull him in closer to me as our mouths smash together again.

My butterflies suddenly increase as Justin pushes me down on the bed and rolls on top of me. He hovers over me and kisses me roughly. He wasn't wanting to...

"Justin," I say and gently push him away from me.

"What?" he asks, his breathing slightly uneven.

"I can't..."

"You can't what?"

I didn't reply. I didn't know how to say it.

"Did you think I was going to have sex with you?" Justin asks.

I look away from him and stare at the floor.

"Selena, I would not take advantage of you like that. I would not even think of having sex with you after we just got together like, what, yesterday? I wouldn't hurt you like that." he says sternly. He places his hand under my chin and gently pushes my chin up so I can look at him. "If anything, I would only sex with you when you're ready too. I would never pressure you into having sex with me like Tristan did."

"I know. I'm sorry. I'm just paranoid, I guess, after everything I've been through with Tristan." I reply.

I can't believe I even thought that Justin was going to something like that to me. I know he would never do that to me, so why think that he would?

"I don't blame you. What Tristan did to you," Justin pauses as I watch his hand clench together in a fist. "He's an asshole."

"And I was stupid enough to think he was good for me." I say sadly.

"I wish I would have known you when Tristan was hurting you." I put my hand on Justin's shoulder. "I would have stopped him from hurting you. I would have beat his ass if he came anywhere near you."

"It's fine, Justin. What happened is in the past now. I just want to worry about my future now." I say. "I want to worry about the future that I'm going to have with you."

Justin turns his head and looks at me. I think he's going to say something, but he takes me by surprise and presses his lips against mine.

"I promise I'll never hurt you." Justin whispers against my lips.

"I know you won't." I reply.
