Crush (Chapter 18) Author’s note: This chapter is a little shorter than the others. Well Njoy!!!! Four days later (TRL show in New York- Towns Square) The audience exploded as Justin jogged out on stage, holding a microphone in his hand. “Heyyyyy, Justin. What’s been going on?” Carson, the show host greeted while shaking his hand. “Nothing much. I just got off tour about a month ago.” He took a seat on a high stool, and gazed out at the audience. There were fans holding up posters of Nsync, and other items. “Hey, people.” He waved at the fans. “We’re glad you could make it. A fan was just asking when were you coming? Impatient, aren’t they?” he joked. “Yeah. It’s okay. I get impatient at some points also. I’m sorry I was running late but…my fiancé held me up.” He frolicked. “Oh…where is your fiancé?” he asked, gazing around the room. “She’s here. Alexia? Woman get in here. We’re waiting for you.” He demanded in a playful way. “Oh…I didn’t know I could come out now.” All of the men rooted as she walked out on stage wearing black leather pants, and a white halter top. “Hello, guys.” She took a seat beside Justin, and crossed her leg over the other. “How’s everything going? How are you, Carson? Glad to see me? Ahahaha. Well I’m definitely glad to be here.” She gazed at the audience as men continued whistling teasingly, and calling her. “That’s good. The fans couldn’t wait to see you two. The world’s perfect couple. When’s the wedding?” “Um…” Justin bit the bottom of his lip as he thought. “Sometime next year…after she has the baby. She’s due in January, so…I probably will set the date for…March. Two months later.” He nodded. “That’s great. I can’t believe you guys are actually getting married. A fan asked if you two really knew each other since elementary.” “Oh…hell yeah. At first…we couldn’t get along. I thought she was a real…snob.” She rolled her eyes playfully. “She use to hang out with this group of girls. At the time…I wasn’t interested in her because of her obnoxious attitude. Instead…I was interested in her friend. I think her name was Stacy. Stacy was…whew. Just…pure hot. Any way…as soon as we hit high school…we met up again. We didn’t get to see each other in middle school because we went to separate schools.” He paused and gazed to the side to stare at her. “When I met up with her in high school…she seemed to mature…a lot. She didn’t have that nasty attitude like she use to. I mean…we were friends in elementary…just not close friends. But when we hit high school…it’s like…we automatically clicked. But…I had to leave…to pursue my dream as being a CELEBRITY! Ahaha. But we vowed to keep in touch. One day…I happened to meet back up with her at a concert backstage. Right then…I fell in love that instant. It was just something different about her. I dunno.” He shrugged his shoulders and looked away, gazing at Carson. “Wow. So that’s how you two hooked up.” He chuckled. “Yep. You got the whole scoop. Oh and those rumors about me meeting her at a club…that’s a damn lie. We never met at a club. We’ve known each other for as long as we can remember.” He spoke to the audience. A fan raised their hand. “Okay…someone wants to ask a question.” Carson held the microphone to the fan’s mouth. “Hello, Justin and Alexia. How are you two?” she asked considerately. “We’re doing fine.” Justin answered. “Did you want to ask us a question?” “Yes. Um…this is for Alexia. I saw this picture of you in a magazine and…you were wearing these jeans…I think from Tommy or something. It was an advertising for the company. So…any way…I tried going to get the exact jeans, but…they said they didn’t even carry it. It was weird.” “Oh…well…usually they don’t. It’s sorta a fraud…to get you there. I can imagine how you felt. Once that happened to me, but the bad thing about it…I traveled to another state just for a meezly pair of sunglasses. Ahaha.” Her eyes lit up. “Yeah. Talk about desperate.” She giggled. “Okay. Thanks any way. Oh and I love your leather pants. Where did you get them?” “Um…” she focused in on a skin tight, leather pants. “My designer made them for me. It’s worth five hundred. I can’t floss fake leather. And plus it irritates me.” She nodded. “I understand. Well thanks a lot. And keep up the good work. You too, Justin.” He smiled. “Thank you, sweetie.” He spoke up. “Well…let’s get back to the show. Today…the topic of the show is…”CRUSH” I’m gonna allow each fan to come up one by one and…talk to you, and…tell you how much they like you and why they have a crush on you. The person with the BEST reason…will get a chance to hang out with their crush for a WHOLE day. How’s that sound?” the audience exploded once again. “I knew you guys would like that. Well…we’re gonna start from the first row. The lady on the end…come up and talk to your crush.” She smiled massively and stepped up on stage, approaching Justin. “Hey.” He greeted, standing up and embracing her in a hug. “How are you?” he pulled back to stare in her eyes. “I’m good. Um…I have something for you.” She held up a rose. “Aw…how sweet.” He accepted it out of her hand. “You’re very sweet.” He pecked her on the cheek. She shook her hands nervously. “Omg. I can’t believe I’m this close to you.” She began to cry. “Um…” she sniffled. “Don’t cry. It’s okay.” “I just…wanna say that…you’re the sexiest man alive. I’ve always dreamt of meeting you and now…” the tears took over. “Shh. Everything’s okay.” He embraced her in a hug, and skimmed her back soothingly. “It’s okay. You don’t have to cry.” He pulled back to stare in her diluted eyes. “How old are you?” “Seventeen.” She sniffled and wiped underneath her red, swollen eyes. “Seventeen? That’s cool. Well…I also got something for you.” He dug through his pocket, and pulled out a bracelet. “This is a…friendship bracelet. I just want to…let you know that…I’m not only a celebrity or star, but…I’m also your friend, okay?” she watched him put the bracelet on. “Don’t cry. I’m NOTHING to cry over.” He chuckled. “Okay?” she nodded meekly. “Cool? Great.” He pulled her in a hug. “Stop crying, girl. You’ll be okay.” He pulled back to stare in her eyes. “Thank you.” She gazed at the bracelet. “I will cherish this. I will never take it off.” He chuckled. “Don’t lose it. That friendship bracelet is…a little expensive. Actually all of the gifts I bought.” He referred to the box of gifts that sat underneath his chair. “Okay. I promise I won’t lose it.” He nodded. “Okay.” She blushed, and held her head down. “Bye.” He took his seat as he watched her walk off stage. “Whoa. That was something.” Carson spoke up. “Well any way…next person.” Another blond walked up on stage, and approached Justin with a teddy bear in her hand. “Hey, Justin.” He stood up and embraced her in a hug. “Hey. How are you?” he pulled back to stare in her blue eyes. “I’m okay? How about yourself? I got something for ya’.” She handed him the teddy bear. “It’s a teddy bear. I had it since I was four and…I want you to keep it.” His eyes lit up as he slowly accepted it out of her hand. “Wow. Um…I don’t think I should take this. I mean…I know it’s something special to you.” “Well…at one point it was. I couldn’t survive without it, but now…I wanna give it to someone special.” He smiled warmly. “Thank you. It’s really sweet of you. Well…I got you something also.” He pulled the box from under his chair, and grabbed a black suede box. “This…is for you…from me. I hope you enjoy.” Her eyes lit as she grasped the item in her hand. “Wow. What could this be?” she slowly lifted the lid and came face to face with two diamond stud earrings. Her eyes lit up of astonishment. “Oh my god.” She looked up to lock eyes with his. “I’m guessing you like it.” “Are you kidding? I LOVE it.” She embraced him in a hug. “Thank you so much, Justin. You don’t know how much this means to me. I bet these cost a fortune.” “It sure did. But you have to promise me one thing…don’t lose them. I want you to keep them somewhere safe and when you decide to wear them…try not to be too rough. I wouldn’t want you to lose them.” She nodded. “Okay. I promise. Thank you.” “You welcome.” He pulled her in a hug. “I’ll see you later.” He sat back down beside Alexia, and glanced at her, who kept her eyes on him. “You okay, baby girl?” he met lips with hers. “Yeah. I’m fine.” He broke away, and gazed back at the audience. “Next person.” A guy in all white stepped up on stage, and headed towards Alexia. “Oh god.” He spoke inaudibly. “Hey.” She stood up and embraced him in a hug. “How are you?” she focused in on the bouquet of roses he held. “I’m fine. Um…I read in an article that you like roses so…I got you these. I picked them out myself.” He handed her the bouquet. “Wow. Cool…thanks.” She smelled the sweet scent. “Where are you from?” she looked up to lock eyes with his. “Cincinnati, Ohio. If you wanna know…it’s boring down there.” She chuckled. He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he kept his eyes on her. “Well…sometimes it can be boring in Florida, but…I’ve gotten to use to it to try and…move away. I don’t think I will ever leave Florida.” She brushed a few strains of hair behind her ear. “You look even better in real life. I just wanted to tell you that.” She blushed, and scrutinized his outfit. “Thank you. I like your outfit. I mean…the whole “ALL WHITE” thingy. It’s cute. Oh I almost forgot. I got something for you…my dear friend.” he watched her rummage through a box of items. “Cool.” He rubbed both of his hands as he watched her closely. She pulled out two items, and turned to face him. “Um…this watch is from Gucci, and…I got this license…to kiss anyone you would like. I thought it was cute. It really worked on my fiancé.” She chuckled, and handed him both of the items. “Wow. Thanks. That’s really sweet of you.” He scrutinized both of the items. “Hmm. This licensed is to kiss anyone?” she nodded, and rested her hand on her hip. “Yep. Anyone you would like.” His eyes lit up, instantly focusing in on her. “What?” she asked curiously. “Um…well I guess this must be my lucky day. Alexia Elizabeth…” he held up the license. “…I have a license to kiss you.” Her eyes lit up. “Oh my god.” She broke out laughing, including the audience. “Um…” she chuckled, and held her head down. “I had a feeling you would do something like that. Um…I dunno if that’s possible. I mean…it depends where.” He pointed to his lips. Her eyebrows lifted up surprisingly. “Oh…there? Well…” she locked eyes with Justin. “It’s all up to my fiancé. What do you think?” he shrugged his shoulders. “As long as it’s a peck kiss.” “Okay. It only has to be a peck kiss.” She informed. “That’s cool with me.” He moved in closer to her. “Alright, so…you can’t try to go any further than that. Believe me…Justin can…get really out of control. You wouldn’t want to see that.” She warned. “Fine. I understand.” “Okay. Just letting you know. Ahem. “ She cleared her throat. “Okay…on the count of three. One…two…three.” She slowly leaned in and pecked him square on the lips. “Cool. That went okay.” She giggled. He bit the bottom of his lip as he kept his eyes on her. “I liked it.” She scratched her forehead, and held her head down. “Well…I guess it’s time for the next person to come up. It was nice…talking with you.” “You too.” He embraced her in a hug. “Stay sweet and sexy.” She chuckled, and broke from his embrace. “I will. Bye.” She took her seat, and crossed her leg over the other. “Boy…I feel guilty as hell…even though you gave me permission to do it.” She spoke to Justin. “Don’t be. It was nothing but a friendly kiss.” She smiled, and grasped his hand, placing a soft kiss on it. “I love you.” She spoke softly, kissing him on the cheek. “I love you too.” He locked eyes with hers and slowly met lips with hers. The audience exploded with cheers as they watched the two kiss in front of them. |
