| Chapter 22- In Business Two weeks later.... �No, I�m not going,� Mercedes said, crossing her arms across her chest and shaking her head stubburnly. �But I got two tickets!� Justin pleaded. �Then take Wade.� Justin made a face. �But I don�t want to take him, I wanna take my girlfriend!� �Girlfriend?� Mercedes questioned curiously. It was the first time he had ever called her that. Sure they�ve gone on quite a few dates and kiss a lot, but she always thought that he only thought of her as a friend...... with benefits. �Yeah,� Justin said, a smile on his face as he wrapped his arms around her waist. �My girlfriend. So will you go with me?� Mercedes sighed. �Fine, I�ll go. Even though I hate basketball!� �Alright!� Justin cheered. He cupped her chin in his hands and caught her lips with his. �Mail cal--- Hey, hey! That�s enough of that!� Wade yelled. Justin and Mercedes jumped apart. Mercedes started to blush embarressed as she went over to the fridge getting a can of Cherry Coke. �As I was saying,� Wade said. �Mail call.� He handed an envelope to Mercedes. She looked at it, reading who it was from as she chewed on her bottom lip. �Whose it from?� Justin asked curiously. �The American Ballet Company,� Mercedes spoke steadily. Justin took a deep breath hoping that she won�t get in, even though it was her lifelong dream. Justin and Wade both watched confused as Mercedes crumpled up the letter and threw it away without even reading it. �What�re you doing?� Wade asked alarmed. �That�s your dream!� �Not any more,� Mercedes smiled. �Is that spot to be a co- cheographer with you still open?� Wade�s eyes got big, then a huge grin broke out on his face. �Of course it is!� Justin grabbed Mercedes� arm and turned her to look at him. �Are you sure about this?� he whispered. Mercedes smiled big, as she nodded her head. �A wise man once told me that I should be doing dancing that I have fun with. Well, ballet just wasn�t fun anymore.� A huge smile broke out on Justin�s face, as he embraced her in his arms. He whispered in her ear, �I love you.� The End I hope you all like my story!!
