Falling For You

Chapter Twenty

I searched through Justin's Netflix while rolling my eyes as he buried his head in my neck with his arm stretched across my stomach. I stopped at the category I was on, raising a brow, "Because you watched 'The Fundamentals of Caring'?"

He shook his head without looking up. Minutes ago he was claiming he was tired as an attempt to get me to lay down with him. As soon as we had laid down he cuddled into my neck and although I was complaining on the outside I was secretly swooning as his breath hit my neck.

"I was curious."

I nodded not wanting to think further into it. As much as I wanted to question him about Selena, I wouldn't. I didn't have the right to interrogate him about her just yet and I wouldn't.

"I don't know what to watch." I groaned throwing the remote to my side, focusing on Justin's breaths.

"Then don't watch anything." He laid light feather kisses on my neck and I shivered in response. I did my best to pry myself from his arms. After he left go I looked down at his face that showed a defeated look.

"We barely know each other, we literally just started dating." I tried my best to not sound like a bitch but there was no way to say 'I don't want to sleep with you yet' nicely.

Justin laughed lightly and rolled onto his back, placing his arm behind his head, "Then let's get to know each other. Do you have any siblings? I wanted to ask but I just never did."

I smiled, propping my head on my hand to look at him, "Nope. I'm an only child, so are my parents. Kind of a thing in my family I guess."

He nodded slowly, "Mhm. Then we can't ever have kids because I want a lot." 

Justin talking about kids seemed like a natural thing. Like it was something every couple did, nevermind if they had just started dating. I laughed and shook my head, "I didn't say I only wanted one kid."

"Well, good." He smiled also letting out a laugh, "Were you seeing anyone back home?"

I sighed, pushing my hair out of my face. I could count on one hand how many boyfriends I had had and none of them were in my college career, "No."

His head quickly jerked in my direction, "Why?" I shrugged, "That's crazy."

"I guess I was just really focused on school, being in a relationship wasn't really on my mind. I was content with being single and just living my life on my own for awhile." 

From Justin's nightstand his phone buzzed causing him to roll over to look at the screen, "Shit, it's Scooter. Is it cool, if I talk to him in here?"

"It's your room." He nodded and headed to the small desk before answering it, "What's up?'

I did my best to distract myself as an attempt to not listen to his conversation, but every so often I would focus on what he was saying. From what I had heard it was something to do with his new single, but after a few minutes my name was said, "You mean Nadia?"

Justin went silent for awhile while I continued to pretend to scroll through my phone. Glancing over to where he sat, he ran his hand over his face then looked down at his desk. His jaw clenched, "I'm not talking about this right now."

After another few minutes Justin slammed his hand on the table, but not with much force I assumed to not get my attention. He failed. He quickly rose from his desk and spoke lowly, "Hold on." 

Bringing the phone away from his ear he turned to face me causing me to quickly divert my eyes. He made slow, long strides until he stood in front of where I laid on his bed. I laid my phone on my chest giving him a concerned look. His mouth lifted in the corner to a sympathetic smile, "I'm sorry this is happening. I'm going to go to my office and talk to him, you shouldn't have to hear this. I promise this isn't about you, it's about me."

Justin's POV

Looking up at me Nadia had a blank face that gave off nothing. Even though I was wishing she wasn't listening I knew she was and the face that Scooter kept bringing the same conversation up was pissing me off. She finally smiled at me and I nodded before walking off to my full office. 

Once there I laid my phone on the desk, putting it on speaker. Arguing with Scooter or anyone really gave me a headache and all I really wanted to do right now was hang up on him. 

"Okay go." I pressed my fingers to the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes. I knew what he wanted to say and I was just ready for him to say it. 

"I told you we weren't going to throw any more contracts at you Justin, but I can't keep that promise if you aren't giving us answers. Are you with her?"

I groaned, "Yeah, you fucking happy!"

"Can you stop cussing? I'm trying to make this easier for you 'cause if you like her then I don't want another Selena situation."

My breathing got more uneven at the mention of her name and it took everything in me not to press end call right now, "Just stop bringing her up! Management fucked my life up! I can't even have real relationships anymore."

Scooter sighed, defeated that he didn't stop my cussing, "I'm trying to make that possible for you but that means you can't just be caught with this girl throwing up on the side of the road with you and you can't just show up to club promotions with her. Not without a heads up, Jay."

"Fine, I'll tell you everything from now on happy? We started officially dating today and we made out a little bit earlier." I smirked, knowing damn well the last part was unneeded.

"Okay. I want this for you, Jay. You deserve it, what went down with Selena was ridiculous. I'm gonna talk to label and I'll call you probably tomorrow. Cool?"

"Damn right I deserve it. I actually loved her, Scooter, and that fucking contract ruined it." He sighed from the other end but said nothing else, "But yeah, that's cool. Bye."

I hung up before leaning back in my cushioned desk chair. I quietly let my thoughts drift to Selena and our relationship. There was so much that no one knew, so much that happened that people wouldn't imagine. A part of me knew that the label would try to do the same thing to Nadia, but I had decided the moment that I fell for her that I wouldn't let them anywhere near her.

My thoughts were dismissed when there was a soft knock on the door that I knew belonged to Nadia causing me to smile.

Sidenote: I am not insinuating anything about Justin's relationship with Selena.
