I was still sitting there when Justin cautiously walked towards me. Everything about him was so perfect. As he walked i imagined all the things i would do to him if i ever had the chance, and it was so crazy to know that my celebrity crush since age 5 was walking towards me and sitting down. The party was dying down.
"Where are you going after this?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
I cleared my throat, "Back to my hotel room, probably"
He laughed a dry, amused laugh.
"No, like, where are you going after this whole," he paused with a thoughtful look, "thing is over?"
oh. i didn't even know the answer to this question.
"Uh, i have no idea."
He pushed his hair back.
"You're really talented."
"Thanks" I said sheepishly
He turned his head to face me
"Really talented" he added.
I just looked down and smiled, i had no way of saying thank you that would suffice.
"I know you probably gave up lots of stuff touring," he began, "i mean i overheard you talking to your mom after the first venue."
I winced. My mom had told me i either had to come home right then or not come home at all, and i had chose the latter.
Justin looked down as if he was fighting with himself. He took a deep breath and looked back up.
"So," he continued, i liked that he didn't make me talk, "why don't you stay here for a while?"
I smiled at him, adjusting the collar of my dress.
"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshthisisha ppening thisis haolenung" i thought. I didn't say anything.
"Or forever." he added softly.
He looked down awkwardly, and i playfully punched him on the shoulder
"Are you serious? Dude, hell yes. thank you."
He pushed his hair back and made a funny face, before standing up and walking away,his hands in his pockets. I felt empty. Why was he walking away?
"Well," he said, not turning around, "you coming or what?"
I jumped up and ran behind him.
He took me and showed me every room of the house, an exhausting tour, and i finally just said,
"where do i sleep?"
I didn't know what kind of answer i was expecting, there was a part of me that hoped for cuddling like the night before, but another part that wanted privacy. the first was more dominant, but i was trying to be chill about this whole crazy dream come true.
"you can stay in the guest room," Justin started
I looked down, disappointed, but not surprised. I saw Justin's feet come a step closer to mine, and my heartbeat sped up.
"or you could come lay by me... you must be good, i slept like a baby last night."
I looked up and Justin stepped again closer to me.
"Sounds great" I whispered.
"I knew you would." Justin said, his eyes flashing. I began to wonder, if he was this clingy and teasing sober, how honest had he been the night before.
************************
I was almost asleep when Justin slowly crawled into the big white bed. I opened my eyes just enough to see him, and he was staring at me, smiling. I pretended towards.him in my sleep, he was startled, but then he tucked my hair behind my ear and i could feel his breath as i slowly dozed to sleep.
