Chapter 11:
Studio Session With Scooter
"Wakey wakey girl." I heard Justin say. "We gotta go. Paps are gone." I groaned and pressed my hand on his cheek. He put his hand on top of mine. I started to get up and told Justin we needed to take Laney and Chaz home first. They were already up and eating breakfast. "Here, have some babe." "I'm uhh...not hungry." I said. "What's wrong?" Justin asked. "I'm nervous." I told him. "What's there to be nervous about? You have an amazing voice and they're gonna love you." I smiled and decided to make a bowl of cereal.
Then, we all got in the car and headed to Laney's house. Chaz was hanging there for the day. "Bye guys!" Laney said as she got out of the car. We drove to the studio and it was amazing. The whole building was HUGE. I wa honored to be in the same studio the Justin sang in. Island DEF JAM. This was it. My chance to live my dream and make it come true. This is what I had been wishing since I was a little girl and now I'm one step closer. "You ready?" Justin asked as he squeezed my hand. "Kind of..." I laughed nervously. "Don't be nervous." Justin said. He kissed my lips softly and led me into the building. We got on an elevator and the minute the door closed I saw Justin start to panic a little. He was claustrophobic and we should've taken the stairs. I kissed his cheek and held him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and the door opened.
We walked out and walked into a room with a bunch of tech stuff and a recording booth. Scooter was there and introduced me to a bunch of people. I shook their hands and told them how much of an honor it was that they took time to meet me. Scooter must have put in a good word for me because they were really eager to hear me sing. The whole time Justin just sat and smiled. Before I started Justin asked me, "Does this make you happy?" I nodded and he said "I believe in you girl." I smiled and kissed his cheek. I walked into the booth pretty unsure of what to do but I'm sure it wasn't very hard to figure it out. I put the headphones on and just belted out "Someday" by John Legend. I got so lost in the music and the power of it I didn't realize that the whole time the people outside of the booth were open-mouthed and clapping. I blushed and walked out of the booth. They all clapped even harder as I couldn't hear inside the booth. They all smiled and asked Justin and I to step out of the room for a little bit. They talked inside while Justin said "You nailed it girl." I smiled and asked "You think so?" He nodded and said "It's the most beautiful thing about you. Seeing you do what you love." I giggled and cuddled up into his chest. He put his arms around me and stroked my hair.
Scooter stuck his head out and motioned for us to walk in. "We must say that you have natural talent and we would be honored if you would sign with us. Would you be interested in making this a career?" I was in shock. They wanted me to sign with them this quickly? "Of course I will, but I don't have like an agent or anything." "We can arrange everything." Scooter said. I quickly nodded yes and smiled widely. They shook my hand again and congratulated me. I could not stop smiling. Besides being with the love of my life this was what I wanted most in the whole world. Justin took my hand and said politely, "If we are finished here I would like to take my girlfriend to lunch." He led me back into the elevator and I asked, "Are you sure?" He nodded and pushed a button. I hugged him as he started to sweat a little. We walked out and got into his car. "Where would you like to go to lunch?" I smiled and said, "How about Subway?" "Anything you want girl." I laughed and said "Subway it is then."
I went in and paid for two sandwiches and brought them back out to the car. "Let's go on a picnic." I said. "Sounds good." Justin said. We drove to a nice quiet park and sat in a field. We sat in the grass and started eating. "Do you think we'll grow up and be old with lots of grandchildren and be gray-haired sitting in rocking chairs telling them stories about our love for each other when we were their age?" Justin asked. I looked at him and started to tear up. Normally I'm not emotional. "What's wrong babe? Did I say something?" He asked. "No no it's just..that's the sweetest thing you have ever said to me. Do you really want to stay with me that long?" I asked. "Of course Ali. I want to be married to you and have your babies. I want to be the one you think about and talk to your friends about. I want to do everything I can to make you happy and make your life wonderful." I put my hands on his face and said, "You already make me happy and my life IS wonderful just knowing you want me to be your girl forever." I kissed him passionately as he picked me up and twirled me around. "You make me happy too babe." he whispered in my ear.
TWO WEEKS LATER...
*Listening to the radio* "That was Ali Zavala's new hit single, "You're The Reason." I squealed in excitement as Justin smiled at me and kissed my nose. "I'm proud of you girl." Justin said. "Thanks." I said back. "So, do you want to go out or order in tonight?" He asked me. "Mmm let's order Chinese." "K sounds good." He said. He called in and looked awkward for a second. After he hung up I asked, "What was that look for?" "Well let's see..we just ordered Chinese food." He said. "What's wrong with that?" I asked. "We're in Japan." He said. I laughed and said, "Are you TRYING to be racist?" He smiled and said, "You know what I mean." "Whatever you say." I joked.
We ate in silence as we watched tv. We were watching Spongebob. He tweeted, "Eating Chinese food and watching Spongebob with my girl AliOfficial (:" To my new official twitter page (I wish haha :P). I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder. I fell asleep and he carried me to my bed. "God, I love her." I heard him whisper as he kissed my cheek. I wasn't quite fully asleep when he said that so I smiled when he turned off the light.
