Chapter 7
Sorry Guys! I know I haven't updated in like a week, but I had to finish my finals. Now that that's out of the way, here is a a brand new chapter of the story. Hope you like it!
So Justin and I went to the restaurant. It was a little place called Café Bizou. I love French food and he knew that. The place was very nice looking. The room was dark with faint, yellow lights, providing a romantic tableau. The majority of the table were set for two, so I wondered if this place specialized into date settings. Justin checked in with the host. He had made a reservation. When did he find the time to do that? Oh well. The nice gentleman politely showed us to our table and left us shortly to come back with a pair of menus in his hands. After making sure we weren't in need of anything, he excused himself. It only took Justin about 10 minutes to find something that was appealing to his taste. I, for one took the time to wonder over the unknown menu: La Poitrine de Poulet Cordon Bleu, Les Éscaloppes de Veau et son Ragoût de Champignons Sauvages, La Salade Bergerie. Everything looked so tasty. Finally, I decided to go with the beef and Bearnaise sauce and the soup of the night. Shortly after, a waiter came to take our orders and I told him what I wanted. He wrote it down, then it was Justin's turn to order something.
"I'll have the grilled lamb chops with rosemary broth and garlic flan. The lobster bisque with a lobster soufflé. Oh and some Bergerie salad, some beef tenderloin, and finally for dessert some chocolate molten cake with pistachio cream Anglaise," Justin listed, using the menu to back his memory up. The waiter stared at him in bewilderment and so did I. How can he eat so much food?
"What?" Justin protested as he noticed the look we both gave him. "I didn't have any lunch or dinner today."
Finally, I shook my head and the waiter shrugged and wrote Justin's very large order. he asked Justin to repeat a few things once or twice. We engaged into a conversation as we waited for the waiter to come in with our food. It was a peaceful beautiful night.
It's been a long day and Justin's manager, Scooter Braun just couldn't wait to go home and chill out. Due to Justin's previous little escapade, he had a couple of things to rearrange. Now that everything was settled and ready, he was peaceful at mind. Well, not completely. He had one more meeting to go to, then he could relax. He was in the middle of traffic which annoyed him. After thirty minutes of being stuck on the road, he arrived at the building. He quickly got into the elevator and hoped the meeting hadn't started without him. It hadn't. When he walked into the room, the other members were already seated, patiently waiting. He quickly took his place among the others. Most of the members were entertainment managers, producers, directors and a few others he didn't recognized. Those label meetings. They could either be fun, boring or just plain annoying depending on who was attending it. This one, well to be honest, he had no idea what it was going to be about. It had been called at the last minute. Laetitia, Justin's record label director, faced the rest of the members of the meeting. She was in her late thirties but looked as if she'd just stepped into her twenties. She wore a custom made black tailored suit. Her coiffure perfectly organized. She projected the image of the perfect independent woman. Her presence was filled with power and confidence.
"Well, I believe our waiting is about to reach to an end." She said staring at the door.
At that moment, a tall man walked into the room. Scooter would recognize that silhouette just about anywhere. Paul Matthews sat across him, smiling like the hypocrite he had always been. "We meet again, Scooter Braun." He said with a smile.
"We may now commence." Laetitia announced. She got up from her chair and started to pace around the room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a new member of the enterprise, Paul Matthews" She begun "He has been in the entertainment business for years and you can be sure that he will be a great asset to this record company. I want you to welcome him into our big family"
Scooter buried his head into his palms.
Great. Just freaking great.
After the meeting ended. Scooter was about to get home when he heard his name being called out from behind him.
"Hey," Paul, reached up to him. "Where are you going so fast, come on". Scooter couldn't believe it. How dare he? He turned to walk away one more time, but Paul was a persisting man
"So you don't wanna stay and have chat with an old friend?"
"Screw you Matthews, I've got nothing to say to your back-stabbing ass."
The cheesy smile, then left Matthews face and he showed his true features. Evil.
"Well I see that my natural charm is not going to win you over so let's just cut to the chase : I'm back. And it's going to be my extreme pleasure to destroy your little protegee's career and yours just for the fun of it."
"Oh yeah, is that so?" Scooter walked up closer to him, no in the least intimidated by his threat.
"That's right. It just so happens that I too have found myself a talented young man and Justin is nothing compared to what he's got." He fixed his tie and with one last look he said.
"Get ready to wake up from your successful little dream Braun, It'll all be over very soon."
and walked away.
"Asshole" Scooter muttered.
The sky was naked , stripped from its stars and silver moonlight. Justin and Mia were walking on the streets, hand-in-hand, just having a good time. It had been an excellent diner but now, they were on their way back to the hotel. The streets were very dark so they could walk about without being noticed. The air was cool but not too cold.
"So," Mia begun "You haven't told me, When are we leaving LA?"
"We usually leave right after my concert, so I'm guessing the day after tomorrow maybe."
"Cool. I like it here, but I'm also really excited to visit other places as well" Mia said with a dreamy tone. Justin looked at her and smiled.
They were now entering the lobby and Mia starred at the counter. Blake was chatting with another boy that looked his age. He couldn't help but stand out with his tall posture. He stared in her direction and looked away but quickly stared back when he realized it was her. To Justin's surprise, she let go of his hand and quickly ran towards Blake. Justin Followed her but only remained at a close distance where he could hear what they were saying to each other.
"Hi Blake," she smiled and gave him a hug.
"Hey Mia" he looked equally pleased.
"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see you anymore. What's up?"
"Oh nothing, I was about to go out wanna come with?"
Unbelievable, Justin thought. They were acting like he wasn't even there? Did she even tell him that she had a boyfriend?
"Sorry, I can't" Mia excused herself.
Blake's eyes wondered over to her neck.
"You're wearing the necklace."
"Yeah" She replied. The tip of his fingers then started to wonder around the jewel but he retrieved them. That was it for Justin though. He walked over closer to them and faked a loud cough.
"Oh, Blake this is my..." She hesitated "boyfriend, Justin and Justin this is Blake"
"Sup?" Blake simply said. Justin knew that he had recognized him but right now he didn't care. What he cared about was how did those two meet each other. Mia guessed what was on his mind.
"I met Blake at the pool yesterday, by the pool. He helped me out with a little inconvenience that happened."
Justin decided to play nice. He didn't wanna be a jerk to his girlfriend's friend although he didn't like him very much. Oh heck, who was he kidding? He didn't like him at all.
"Anyway," Justin said "Are you ready to go back upstairs" he finished with a husky tone that obviously implied more than there actually was. Mia's cheeks flushed with a bright red and Kendall raised his eyebrows.
"So you guys staying together in a room?"
"No" Mia quickly replied.
"Yes" Justin answered almost at the same time. Mia's mouth dropped.
"Um, it's complicated" Justin shrugged. "Look Blake, I'd love to stay here and chat but I'm very tired and I have a busy day tomorrow so." Mia couldn't believe it. What was wrong with him?
"Sorry, " She apologized to Blake. "he's usually not like this." She hugged him one last time. "See you tomorrow?
"Yeah, later" Blake replied. She quickly caught up with Justin and stepped into the elevator.
"What was that about?" Mia asked Justin as they walked into his room.
"What was what?" He asked pretending not to understand.
"You...downstairs in the lobby... you told him that we...we..." she stuttered. Justin took of his jacket, not answering.
"You were jealous, now weren't you?" Mia crossed her arms in front of her chest. Justin blushed.
She walked closer to him and he got up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What if I was?" He begun "In my defense, the guy looked like he wanted to devour you or something."
"No he didn't!" She exclaimed.
"He's just a friend" She reassured him. "Besides, last time I checked I was already taken." She smirked at him.
He leaned over and kiss her. His lips were damp and soft. He pushed her hair out of her face and used his other hand to bring her closer to him. The kiss had become more intense, more passionate, erasing any doubt Justin could have had. Her mouth opened to let his tongue in and he accepted the invitation. Justin's hand carelessly raised up to her back and found her zipper of dress. Her eyes suddenly opened wide. Wait, what was he doing? She wasn't ready.
"Justin don't" she murmured between his lips.
"Um" he responded not really listening. She slowly pushed him away and stared into his eyes.
"Don't" she said and he realized what she was talking about.
"Oh sorry, I... didn't realize." The zipper was lower than it should have been. Way lower.
"It's ok, it's just that I'm not..." She begun
"Sorry...I didn't mean to..."
At that moment Justin's cellphone ran. He looked at the caller ID: MoM.
