�Oh yeah, sure sweetie. I�ll be right out.� He said and looked at Britney. Just as he thought, she was avoiding his eyes.

�Aren�t you going to introduce us?� Ashley asked. Britney then looked up. Once Ashley go a glimpse of her face, she squealed.

�You�re Britney Spears!�

Britney just rolled her eyes and put on a fake smile.

�Yeah, the one and only.�

�Baby you never told me you knew her.� Ashley said as she walked up to Justin who was sitting besides Britney�s bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Britney cringed at the sight. Justin saw her reaction and broke off Ashley�s embrace.

�Ashely, can you wait outside? I�ll be right out, just give me a minute.�

�Sure baby.� She said and kissed him lightly on the lips and left. Britney could have thrown up at the moment their lips touched. She turned around so that her back was facing him. Her eyes widened as she felt cool air hit her back. She closed her eyes as knowing that he saw her bare backside. She immediately shifted her position to lying on her back.

He cleared his throat. �Brit�� he began, but she cut him off.

�Who was that? Your girlfriend?� she asked coldly. Justin lowered his head.

�No�she�s not my girlfriend.� He paused. �She�s my fianc�.�

Her eyes grew wider. �Fianc�!� She yelled. Justin couldn�t look at her.

�How could you tell me that you need me and miss me, when sooner or later you�re going to marry her?� she asked raising her voice. He never saw her so upset at him, except for the night that she left him, so he just kept quite. She inhaled deeply.

�How�why�.would you even come here to tell me those things?� She paused. �Why did you even kiss me?� she asked sadly.

He sighed. �I don�t know.� His voice was now barely audible. She just shook her head as her eyes began to water. She looked down at his defeated shoulders and hesitated to reach out to him. She lifted his head to look him in the eye.

�Do you love her?�

He stared at her. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Britney removed her hand from under his chin. She took his silence as a yes.

�Justin�just go.� She said as she laid back on the bed.

�But Brit��

�No, no buts. Just go. I need to get some rest so I can get out of here.� She paused. �And I�m sure Ashley�s waiting for you.� She said as she turned her head. He stood up from the chair and looked down t her. He slowly headed towards the door.

�I never did stop loving you.�

And with that he left.
