Falling For You

Chapter Fourteen

The stage I was currently standing on with Justin was the only part of the club that didn't seemed packed with people. Justin stood next to me with his hand resting on my back and  the other held a glass full of sparkling water. He had explained that apparently the club owners didn't want him drinking so that he could focus and not get 'out of hand'. 

I settled for the sparkling water but was secretly regretting not taking a shot before I came up to loosen my nerves. Justin was currently talking to Ryan who was one of the only people I knew on the stage other than Justin. 

"So the pictures still got out somehow?" Ryan was drilling Justin with question about the throwing up incident. 

"Yeah but Scooter said that he thinks what happened was he said they had to delete them and couldn't post them in any magazines so I think they worked around it. I don't know, the media is fucked up." Justin sighed and looked at me apologetically.

Ryan continued, "Can I talk to you real quick, Jay?"

Justin gave him a concerned look and slowly nodded, "Yeah but can we just do it later?" Ryan sighed and nodded before deciding to leave the stage for a drink that I was secretly jealous of. Justin turned his attention to me, "I'm sorry. It's all fucked up, but it'll probably be old news in a few days. I'm sure they already have another public appearance planned with someone to distract everyone."

I hummed in response and thought of something, "Does that happen a lot? They make you go out with girls to distract people?"

"Uh, yeah but it's part of the job so it's whatever and most of the time it's someone I'm friends with so it's nothing." During our conversation Justin continuously waved at random people that looked relevant but I didn't recognize any of them.

Before continuing we made out way to the chairs that stood in the middle of the room where everyone could still see our faces. Looking around I continued to talk, "It just makes you look like a fuck boy so I don't see how it helps with the fans. Selena was your only serious relationship, right?"

What I said clearly stung him from the way his face contorted and he laughed awkwardly, "Yeah, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Do you wanna stay up here or come?"

"I'll come." Justin lead me in the opposite direction of the bathrooms, to the back of the stage to a door, "Aren't the bathrooms in the front?"

"They gave me a room in the back for tonight." I nodded and followed silently. The room they had given him looked like it was supposed to be an office and it probably was. Justin quickly went to the bathroom and came back out, sitting next to me on the couch.

"We can sit back here for a minute, I'm tired of being out there."

"I have one more evasive question, is that okay?" He hesitantly nodded and I looked down at my hands that had a fresh manicure on them thanks to Kylie's stylists, "Why didn't you just pick Kendall to come up with you?"

"For one, that would start rumors about us. Two, I wanted you to come up on stage with me?"

Looking back at him he stared intently at my face, questioning me. Looking back down at my hands I began to chip at the nail polish. Part of me wanted ask again why he wanted me to come, but I didn't. Moments of silence past and next to me Justin stood. 

"Ready?"

Before I could stand up and walk with him my phone buzzed in my pocket. Tessa's name urgently flashed across the screen. When I answered Justin turned to wait, "Where the hell are you?"

"Uh, in one of the back room. Justin had to go to the bathroom." The music in the background was muffled and there was a slight echo of her voice but her movement were all I could really hear, "Stop moving, I can't hear shit."

"Me and Kylie are leaving, so meet us outside. Kylie said we're leaving out the back, Justin knows where."

"Why are we leaving now?" Justin shot me a look that showed he was pissed.

"I guess some people showed up and started shit with Kylie about her brother and Chyna." Before I could respond Tessa hung up. Looking at Justin his face showed that he was partially annoyed but also curious. 

"Uh, I gotta go. We came with Kylie and I guess people showed up and are starting shit with her." While telling him this I began walking back to the stage to search for the two. 

Behind me Justin asked, "I can just take you home after this?"

Ryan stood where he left him with Chaz and both were looking at me, "I should probably go with them." My eyes eventually met Kylie who had some how gotten on the stage with Tessa looking irritated.

"Sorry Nadia, I was just gonna ignore them but they just keep going." I nodded and began to follow as Kylie walked away. I could sense Justin was just as irritated that I was leaving as Kylie was with whoever caused problems, but I didn't turn to say goodbye.

Before I made it too far Justin gently grabbed my wrist causing me to turn to face him, "No goodbye?"

I smiled and shrugged, "You seem mad."

"I am but not enough to not say goodbye to you. Bye." He didn't continue but the way he spoke sounded like there was more he wanted to say.

"Bye." As I said this a look of apprehension crossed his face and he broke eye contact for a split second. I raised my eyebrows and started to speak but before I could he planted a soft but swift kiss on my lips.

"Good night. I will text you, okay?"

I smiled but still gave him a confused look, "Okay..."

Justin's POV

I watched Nadia as she left with Kylie and Tessa before going back to Ryan, who was watching with Chaz and now Za. I eyed Ryan who looked like he was about to say something that wasn't welcome and started talking to Za, "Who the hell was giving Ky shit?"

He shook his head, "Some chick with one of Tyga's dude and her friends. Said some shit about her bout to be a step mamma and an aunt."

I ran my hand through my hair and looked at Za, "Go tell Raf to get them outta here. He's the club owner."

Za nodded and left, leaving me with Ryan and Chaz. Chaz quickly left to go to the bar that was on the other side of the bar, presumably by Ryan's request. 

"So what is she to you?" 

I shook my head and looked down at my watch that only read 2:03 am, "Man, don't. I actually like her."

"Then you better not tell Scooter or your management about her or let them find out for awhile. That shit they pulled with Selena was ridiculous." 

I held my hand up for him to stop. This would have ended in an argument if I didn't, "I know, I'm fucking tired of this lecture. It's only been four months. Damn."
