Day Six "The Bridesmaids" & Sleeping Over

After the pool thing and teaching Justin to swim, we went down to our rooms. I was exhausted and walked straight to my bed, collapsed down on it and fell down. I touched the place where Justin's lips had touched my stomach. I thought back to the earlier situation:

"Well you said it, when you ran in to me, giving me a sore forehead. "A kiss is the best way to heal wounds."". I told him. I was pretty sure that he wasn't gonna go through with it and surely he answered:

"Oh keep dreaming. " But I wasn't gonna give up that easily- I was gonna get that kiss, no matter what. I had no idea where this sudden obsession had come, but right there and then, I didn't care.

"So that's the way you're gonna play? No-o. Let's see if you're gonna able to resists my cute face."

I did my cute-face- sticking my lower lip out and using my blue eyes as my advantage. When he didn't give in, I rubbed my tummy and tried to look even worst. I saw his face soften and knew that I had him. He did try really hard- I'll give him that, but just like that, he bend down and his lips touched my stomach.

The time slowed, he reached down, but finally when his lips touched me, I unintentionally took a sharp breath in. His lips felt so soft, the kiss was so innocent, not lusty, not horny and just sweet. Almost like.…loving.

He looked up and I saw a fire in his eyes, something I only see when he's dancing or singing. He lowered again and then his lips touched me. I felt a smile unintentionally appear on my face.

Then the time jumped in to a fast forward. First he was there and then he was standing in front of me, holding a hand out. I took it and in a haze we walked out. Then I found myself alone at my hotel room, walked over to the bed and crashed down.

"What the hell happened?"

That was my last thought before I fell asleep.

I woke up in the morning and reached for the clock. Squinting my eyes I saw that it was ten o'clock already.. Jumped out of bed like a kangaroo I started to get ready.

I threw the first on thing that I saw, rushed out making my way to the dance studio. I called for an elevator, and while I waited for it, I tried to pat my hair down into something that didn't look as much like a bird's nest as it did now. When the doors slid open, I rushed in, simultaneously eating a mint drop. I took a look at myself from the mirror, noticing that my hair looked even worst that it did before I tried to tackle it. I remembered that I might have had a comb in my bag so I tried to locate it.

At that same moment the doors slid open again and someone rushed in with such speed that managed to knock me down in the process. Caught off guard I lost my balance and fell backwards down to my back. I felt the hard elevator floor under my back and someone else's body on top of me.

"Oh my god I'm so sor…." I heard a man's voice. Looking up I saw that it was Justin.

"You gotta be kidding me."

"Oh hey. It was you Cody." he said, still lying on top of me, looking surprised.

"Yes it's me. I mean who else could it be? I'm the only one that you have a habit crashing into in elevators. "

I said sarcastically.

"Oh I'm really sorry, I just woke up and noticed that it was really late and I thought that I was gonna be a late and…."

"Slow down for god's sake. Take breath while you're at it." I said a bit softer.

He blushed and then neither of us said anything. I noticed how close he was, his faces just inches away from mine, his body pressed to me. His hair was a mess again and he looked like he'd just woken had this weird look on his face and then I saw his eyes fall down. I followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at my lips. His eyes darted between my lips and eyes.

"Your breath smells like mint." he said almost whispering.

I laughed at that and said:

"Yeah, I ate a mint drop. You want one?"

He blushed even more and looked down.

"You mind getting up? Or do you get some sick satisfaction from crashing in to people in elevators?"

He smacked my chest but got up.

"Ouch! That hurt!" I cried out.

"Oh I didn't realize that you were such a girl." he shot back.

I didn't reply and started to sulk, crossing my arms on top of my chest.

"Oh camoon get up. The doors can't close when your legs are between the doors" he said and like commanded the doors started to close, but when came in contact with my feet, slid back open again.

"See?" he stated.

I still didn't move and when the doors tried to close again but failing, Justin sighed and said:

"Okay I'm sorry I called you a girl."

I looked up and stared him straight in the eyes. He didn't back down, but with me sprawled and sulking on the floor, my bottom lip sticking out, I saw that he was holding back a smile. My lips started to twitch up too but I was determined not to laugh first. We stayed there for a while, but then Justin gave up and burst out laughing. I couldn't hold it any longer, so I did the same.

Still laughing he held up a hand and helped me up.

We eventually made our way to the studio. We started to work and practice dancing. At first I was a bit nervous, but quickly got over it and relaxed. I was still a bit stiff and didn't say my ideas out loud that much.

The day went on and soon it was time to call it a day and go back to our rooms. Justin was still a bit sore from the swimming last night, so we didn't go up to the pool.

The next day went on pretty much the same as yesterday; we got up, practiced and went to bed.

When I woke up on Friday, exactly seven days from when we started, I got up normally, ate and went down to the studio. Justin was already there and snickering he said good morning and smiled.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Oh nothing…" he said still smiling, trying hard not to laugh.

"No tell me what it is!"

"It's just that you have your shirt on the wrong way." he said.

"What?" I then looked down at my shirt and indeed, I could see the seams. Justin giggled at my shocked expression but when I took a hold of the hem of the shirt and lifted it above my head, taking the shirt off-his laugh faded. I looked at him and saw that he was goggling. Deciding to take advance of the situation and getting back at me from earlier, I walked slowly toward him and asked in a low voice:

"Like what you see?"

Justin met my eyes but it didn't take long for them to start roaming my naked torso again.

"I just never realized that you actually did have a six-pack." he said quietly. ¨

I smiled and thought that I could take this a bit further, tease him a bit.

"Yep, I really do. Want to touch it?" I said calmly.

"What? Of course not. That'd be weird." he said but the fact that he was still looking at me convinced me otherwise.

"Oh camoon. You know you want to." I said and walked closer. I was only two steps away from him, but he didn't back away.

"I didn't say nothing" he exclaimed.

"The first rule of lying is that you tend to use double negatives. " I said and moved one step closer, leaving us just one small step apart.

When he didn't reply or do anything, I took a hold of his hand, lifted it up and placed it on my stomach.

I had no idea how he'd react, a small voice in my head saying that I pushed this too far.

I lowered my own hand, but his still stayed there. Slowly he started to move it around my abs. His fingertips barely touched my skin I got goose bumps.

"What is he doing? I was sure he was gonna either freak out, or hit me."

The air had gone really thin and I felt like the room was gradually getting hotter. I looked at Justin, and the same time he looked up to me. We held eye contact, while his fingers traced softly around my abdomen. The tension was building up by the second. When his fingers started to make their way up to my chest, I notice that I wasn't breathing anymore. His fingers made their way up to my chest, to my collarbone, traced it up to my shoulder. The whole time we looked in to each other's eyes, and I was sure that I might pass out any second. Then he putted his hand completely against my chest, spreading his fingers wide. I looked at him, my mouth a slightly open and then when I thought that couldn't take it anymore a second longer, he suddenly pushed me back, hard.

I stumbled a couple steps, but was able to stay on my feet.

"You're not gonna fool me that easily." he said smiling, but his smile faded a bit too fast. He turned around and said:

"Can we get back to work? And put some clothes on, will you?"

The rest of the practice went on Justin being totally normal- or trying at least. There was this weird tension, making both of us slightly awkward. I noticed that Justin avoided coming too close, certainly didn't touch me and avoided my gaze. I tried my best but at the end of the practice I was certain that something was up.

After the practice and were collecting our stuff I walked over to Justin with the intention to talk to him.

"Hey um Justin?"

"Yep?"

"I umm…" I started, but the same time he turned to look at me. He seemed just normal, eyes smiling like usual, making me think if I had imagined it all.

"You what? Oh god are finally admitting that you took ballet lessons too?" he said teasing, pretending to be excited.

"I waited so long for this. I knew it, I knew it!" he yelled and did a little victory dance.

"Oh shut up Justin. I'm not a ballerina like you." I said and nudged him to the shoulder. I was getting even surer that I had just made it all up.

"I...I just wanted to ask if, if you fancied eating out again?"

I wasn't sure if he bought it, he looked at me uncertainly, but to my relief he said:

"Yeah okey sure. Where do you want to go?"

"Maybe that Chinese place again?"

"Okay sure. Let's meet up in the lobby in about hour? I need to shower and stuff" Justin said cheerfully.

"Yea sure."

We went back to our rooms; I took a shower and changed my clothes. Exactly 61 minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. I went up and opened it, revealing Justin behind the door.

I took a look at my watch, crossed my arms on top of my chest and said looking very annoyed:

"You're late."

He took a look at his watch too and said:

"Yeah, exactly one minute." He turned to leave, but I didn't follow him. He raised one eyebrow, and when I still didn't move, he sighed and looked at me.

"Are you serious Cody? It was one minute for god's sake. " When I still didn't react in any way, he switched his tactic.

"Do you really want me to start tickling you again? Because I still remember how much you enjoyed it."

"Okey fine!" I replied quickly. Justin just smiled and said something like "I thought so" and started walking to the elevator.

We got down to the lobby and went out. The hotel had stone walls and a big gate. The gate was guarded by a hotel employee, who sat in a small booth opening and closing the gate when necessary. When we walked past him, he suddenly yelled:

"Hey wait up!"

We turned to look at him, and he walked out from the booth, and walked over to us.

"You might not want to go there." he said when he reached us.

"What do you mean?" Justin was the first to ask.

"There are some fans waiting behind that gate. Someone said that you might be staying here and some true fans are camping out there, to find if that's true." he explained.

"What? You mean that we can't go outside anymore? We did that a couple days ago and it went just fine." Justin asked.

"Yea, but that was before they heard the rumor that you might actually be here. But like I said, it's just a rumor, they don't know for sure, so if they don't see you, they are probably gonna just go away tomorrow or the day after that. So- if I was you, I'd lay low for a while." the employee said and walked back to his booth.

"This can't be real! We're stuck in this hotel! Like we don't spend enough time there already…" Justin said looking annoyed.

"Calm down. It's just for couple of days. We can just order something from the room service and watch a movie." I offered touching his shoulder calmingly.

"Yea, okay fine…" he huffed and we turned around and left.

We walked back to my room, I called the room service and ordered some pizza, coke and for dessert some chocolate pudding. We popped a DVD on, and waited for the food to come. Couple minutes later, I heard a knock and opened the door, letting the hotel worker roll a cart in and then leave.

"What are we having today?" Justin asked and was about to walk over to the cart, but I shooed him back saying:

"You just go back to the bed and start the movie. I'll bring the food over."

"Oooh, this is fancy. Are you just being nice, or is there something you want?" Justin asked, but plopped himself down to the huge bed.

"I'm trying to be nice and the first thing you assume is that I want something? You are just horrible. "I said smiling and rolled the cart over to my side of the bed, I went to sit next to him and he putted the DVD on.

"What are we watching? Here, take some pizza." I asked and handed his pizza.

"The Bridesmaids. "

When I looked at him funny, he asked:

"What? It's a great movie!"

I just smiled, took my pizza and replied:

"Oh nothing. I just didn't think you as the romantic type, that's all."

"Well, I am. I like romantic movies and that's it. Do you have a problem with that?" he asked loudly looking challengingly at me.

"No no I don't. Calm down dude. Romance is nice, really nice!" I said holding my hands up.

"Good. Now shut up."

I just smiled and turned to watch the movie.

The movie was actually good. We bursted out laughing more than once. When the pizza was gone, I offered Justin the chocolate pudding. He took, looking at it like he was sure that at any second a worm or something would crawl out.

"Do you need a magnifying glass? Or maybe a microscope?" I asked. He looked up to me and then blushed.

"I just wanted to find out what was in it…"

"Well. I can assure you that it's perfectly harmless cup of chocolate pudding. I can even test it out for you, make sure it's safe." I said and at that I scooped a spoonful from his cup and plopped it to my mouth.

"Hmm... " I said and pretended to be deep in thought.

"After a long and hard analysis, I came to the conclusion that it's a cup of very normal British chocolate pudding."

Justin laughed and tasted the pudding too. After he put it to his mouth, his eyes closed and he made a noise of pleasure.

"Mmmmmm…That is amazing."

"I know. It's so good. I ordered it yesterday and was tempted to eat few cups more. Well, quite many cups actually." I said and he laughed at that.

"Hey you got of it on your chin. "he said, reached out his hand and wiped it away with his finger. He then putted the finger to his mouth and smiled. Our eyes locked and I saw that the chocolate pudding was almost the same color as his eyes. He slowly slipped his finger out his mouth and for some reason I found that incredibly sexy. Justin smiled again and then turned to watch the movie again. I felt like there were butterflies in my stomach.

"Get it together. For gods sake he's Justin Bieber, empathize the word he. And he is just winding you up."

I got back watching the movie and tried to focus, when my mind was wondering to all sorts of places.

"Do you want to get under the covers and warm up?" I suddenly heard.

"What?" I asked my mouth dropping open.

"I mean that can I go under the blanket? It's kind of cold…" Justin asked and looking at me.

I snapped my mouth close, when I realized that it was still open.

"I umm yeah sure." I said and got of the bed, watching Justin crawl under the blanket. He settled in the middle of the bed and curled up in to small ball. I smiled, thinking that he looked quite cute right now.

"Come on Cody, its nice and warm in here." Justin said and patted an area next to him. I did as I was told, and climbed next to him. I gathered pillows behind my back, resting in a half laying half sitting position.

I settled down sighing contently.

"Can we snuggle?" he said very unexpectedly. I snapped to look at him, and he was smiling, so I thought that he must've have been joking.

"Yeah sure:" I answered.

I turned to look at the TV again, but then Justin suddenly moved towards me, sitting right next to me, then took my hand lifting it up and sliding himself under it, his head resting in my chest. He let my hand fall back down, settling down at his tummy.

He then sighed contently too.

"Relax Cody, you're harder than a rock." he then said, while I was trying to get over my shock.

"I- I just didn't think that you'd actually do it." I stumbled over my words.

"Of course I would. I love to snuggle, it's one of the best things in this world." he said simply.

We watched the movie and I started to relax. At one point there was a scene that we found very funny, a bit too funny to be honest and laughed with tears flowing down our eyes, clutching our stomachs. Justin was laughing even harder than I was; he turned to lie on his tummy, burrowing his head between my shoulder and neck. My laughter had started to fade, but when I saw how bad he was laughing I cracked up again.

After we finally got ourselves under control the movie had ended. I reached for the remote and turned the TV off. Justin didn't make any effort to get up and leave so I said:

"Hey it's over. Time to get little Justin to bed."

When he still didn't move I nudged him slightly.

"Ummmrjhngerune just ten minutes…" he mumbled.

"What?"

"Just let me lie here for ten more minutes. It's so soft and warm and mmm…"

I laughed but decided to let him stay. I mean- it was pretty comfortable right here.

"You really like to snuggle don't you." I asked amused.

"Yep"

I lied there, my hand resting on Justin's back, listening him breathing. His breath slid across my chest and his face looked so peaceful, making me reluctant to wake him. After a while I thought that I better do it now, before it gets too late, so I said quietly:

"Hey Justin? It's getting late. "

He showed no reaction so touched his face softly. He didn't move, so repeated myself a bit louder, but he stayed still.

"Did he fall asleep? He did look a bit tired. Should I wake him up?"

I looked at him, he looked so calm and relaxed. He did these little sniffling sounds sometimes, making me smile.

"Oh camoon. What harm can it do. I'll just let him sleep there for tonight He did look really tired..."

So I let him stay. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep too, when I listened his rhythmic breathing.
