Chapter Seventeen

Selena's POV 5

_

Selena walked in the house that night with all different kinds of emotions. Happy for her friends, angry at David for not believing her and also worried at the same time. How was she supposed to 'lure him away from Lucy' as Nick had said? She headed to the kitchen only to find her mother and stepfather sitting at the table with their heads close together like they always were because they were so in love. She smiled. "Hey mom, dad."

"Sweetie," her mom said lifting her head. "David called. He's coming over."

Selena smiled widely. "Really?"

"Why do you sound so surprised? Aren't you dating him?" Her stepfather, Brian asks.

Selena turned to the kitchen sink and got a glass of water before returning her gaze to her parents. "Yes, but we sort of fought earlier."

"About what?" Her mother asked, getting up and standing by Selena.

"It was stupid. I may have been a little jealous...but I'm over that now." Selena continued to smile thinking of her talk with Nick and Miley and how right they sounded. "Did he say when he'd be here?"

Her mother shrugged. "He just said he'd be right over. I told him you'd be home soon."

Selena then heard the doorbell ring as her mother finished talking. "I'll get that." She rushed to the door without another word and flung it open. "I see you made it through security."

David nodded slowly. "Can I come in?"

Selena moved aside then shut the door as David passed her.

"I'm sorry, Sel," he burst into an apology immediately. "I'm so stupid."

"What are you talking about?" Selena folded her arms and stepped toward David.

"Let's just say Lucy wasn't just after a friendship."

"Surprise. Surprise." She said sarcastically making David sweat a little.

"I should have listened to you."

Selena nodded.

"I've been torn up inside for the last few hours knowing that you were upset with me. I kept having this ongoing nightmare that you were going to dump me and leave me for someone like...Nick Jonas."

Selena laughed. "I don't know. That Justin Bieber guy is the hottest thing right now."

David shook his head and sighed. "God forbid."

Selena walked up to David standing right in front of him now and a smile came to her face. "I wasn't upset with you David. Well, I was but I got over it twenty minutes later when I had a talk with Nick."

"Nick Jonas? You talked..to him?" His eyebrows formed a frown.

"Yes, I did. And Miley. He made me realize something."

"By saying it or demonstrating it?" David asked with a weird look on his face.

"I don't know what you mean but..." Selena said with an innocent look on her face as she wrapped her arms around David's neck so that their faces were so close they could feel each other breathing. "I realized that I love you and I trust you and that's all that matters."

David smiled. "You love me?"

Selena rolled her eyes. "I don't know. Now that you mention it that Justin Bieber kid is looking pretty handsome nowadays."

"Is he?" David frowned.

"Yeah," Selena smiled mischievously, "but he's no you."

David laughed. "I love you, too."

"I know that, silly." She hit his shoulder playfully and smiled. "Do you want to go somewhere?"

"Sure."

"You're not even gonna ask where we're going?" Selena asked looking over at David. They were in his car while he let her take over the driving.

"I trust you." David smiled over at her. "As long as we're not going to see that Justin Bieber movie."

Selena laughed. "Wow. I think you've finally taken your jealously away from Nick and have a new target."

"No. I still don't like Nick."

"You don't have to worry about either of them."

"Why? Are they being killed off?" David joked or at least Selena hoped it was a joke. He said it with a smile.

Selena laughed. "You're so funny." She said slowly making sure that he knew that she was kidding.

"Yeah. So where are we going?" David asked as he looked in the direction they were headed.

"Ahhh. Finally giving in to your curiosity, are you?"

"What can I say? I don't have any restraint when it comes to you."

"Don't worry, David." She said stopping the car. "We're here, tough guy." Selena reached for the door handle but David stopped her.

"Wait there." He got out and preceded to go around to her side of the car and open the door. "There you are."

"You're just too good to be true." She said, sliding out. "You have a white horse hidden somewhere?"

"A black horse, actually." He said smiling and shutting the car door. "I'm more of a dark knight kind of guy."

"Who would've known? Justin Russo?" She joked.

David took Selena's hand as they walked toward the building. "So...the Wizards set, huh?" He looked over at her curiously.

"It's the only place ever that I wished I lived." Selena looked around as they entered the studio. "I only have happy memories of this place." Selena grabbed David's hand and dragged him along. " Over here is where Demi and I used to hang out between scenes of our shows." Her smile took on a sad look but she continued along. "This is where I met you, Jake, Jennifer, Maria and Deluise for the first time." She pulled him toward the stairs that led to their fake basement then she turned to him. "This is where you and I kissed for the first time."

David gave a small laugh. "There's just one problem with that, Sel."

"What's that?"

"We haven't had our first kiss yet."

Selena slowly stepped toward him and put her arms around his waist. "We'll have to fix that." She said intensely.

David smiled and leaned down putting his lips on hers as they swayed together.

She smiled into the kiss then pulled back. "See? I never lie."

They laughed together as David leaned down for another kiss.
