Love Me Harder

Sixteen - "S-Selena"

Justin's POV
Selena told me she was going to help Gracie get a bath and get cleaned. She asked me to make dinner whilst she was helping her.

I couldn't cook! Everyone knew this!
I sighed and grabbed the handle on the freezer. I skimmed through the options and found something.

(Selena's POV)
I scrubbed the shampoo into Gracie's thick, wet, brown hair. "I like Justin." she said randomly. I laughed and continued to scrub her scalp.
"I do too." I said, agreeing with her.
"He's very nice.. do you think you guys will date?" She says, making me think for a while.
I'd like to. - I thought
"I don't know." I replied instead.
"Well I think you should. It's obvious he likes you." she said, making a face that made me laugh hard.
"If it's so obvious, how did I not know?" I ask, smiling at her cuteness. I washed the foamy shampoo out of her hair and taking in the rosy smell.
"I don't know." she shrugged. "but it's true! He looks at you funny."
"Funny?" I asked, laughing slightly.
"Yeah, like I would look at a puppy." She says the example.
"And how would you look at a puppy?" I ask, slapping some conditioner in the bottom of her hair.
"With love." She said simply. She said it like it was nothing. I stopped with the questions and thought.
Did he love me like that?
Or is she just a 4 year old who's silly?
I went with the second explaination and washed the conditioner out of her hair.
"Your hair is long." I say, trying to get the mood to change.
"I like it." she said, smiling wide. I laughed and kissed her forehead. I stood up from my knees and got a pink towel to wrap around her.
"Okay, get out of the bath." I said, and as she did I wrapped the towel around her and dried her off.
Once she was dressed, we walked out of the bathroom.

I took a long breathe through my nose, the smell of food hit me hard. I told Justin to cook but the thing was that it smelt.. good.
I ran downstairs, as did Gracie. I stopped at the bottom and saw Justin dancing around the kitchen wile singing Treasure by Bruno Mars.

"Treasure," he sang whilst doing moves you'd see in an 80's music video.
"That is what you are!" He twirled to the sink, putting a spoon in the sink.
"Honey, you're my golden star."

Just then he turned and saw us laughing at him for doing 80's dance moves.
"Hey!" He yelled, his cheeks turning blood red. I giggle and squeezed him into a hug.
"It's okay, you looked cute." I say, grabbing his face and looking at him. his lips twitched into a smile.
"So guess who actually cooked something good?" He asked, patting his chest.
"What is this?" I asked, laughing at the liquid in the pot.
"It's soup!" He yelled at me. I giggled and kissed his cheek.

I sat Gracie at the table and heard the door open. I looked at Justin who was carrying stuff to the table. I looked at the door and saw Pattie walk in with a man.
"Oh!"

Justin looked at them. Justin's eyes met the mans eyes and he quickly looked away, as if he was trying to avoid him.

I invited the two in and closed the door for them. I took their coats and the mans hat.
"Justin cooked."I said to Pattie when they sat down at the table.
"Oh no." she said, giggling. The man beside her showed no emotion as he started down Justin.

When we all sat down, I was seated beside Justin and Gracie was to my right. Pattie and the man who's name I still did not know still kept his eyes glued on Justin's every move.
Justin seemed nervous and I didn't like that. I shook it off and took a sip of my soup. It sad act silly good.
"This is Brandon." Pattie said. I looked at Brandon and his eyes weren't in Justin, but me.
I felt chills run down my spine when our eyes locked. I blinked my eyes an looked away, what's with this guy?
"Hi." Brandon's voice sounded.
"S-Selena." I stuttered, talking sips of my soup from my spoon.
"This is.. "I looked at Gracie, I couldn't tell him her name. He could tell if my dad.
"Lacey." I say. I smile awkwardly at her and she looks at me in confusion. I whispered what I was doing in her ear. she nodded and began to eat once again.
"That's my son Justin, he hadn't talked yet.. Selena, what's wrong with him?" I heard my name being said.
"Oh, uh.. his head hurts." I said, saving the trouble for later. Once Gracie and Pattie went to sleep I'd ask him.

It was only then that I noticed he was shaking in a nervous way. My eyes widened and I put my hand on his thigh.
"Justin, calm down hun." I whisper in his ear calmly.
"I.. excuse me." Justin says, standing from the table, making my hand fall. I watched as he walked off.
