Girlfriend

Would you be my girlfriend?
Would you be my girlfriend?
Would you be my girlfriend?
I like you, right
Would you be my girlfriend?
I don't know why you care
He doesn't even know your name, no
'Cause he don't love your eyes
And he don't love your smile
Girl you know that ain't fair

Justin sat at the table in the club, and stared over at Elizabeth. She was with her boyfriend. He couldn�t understand why she was with him. He didn�t treat her good, and she deserved more. He couldn�t appreciate her beauty like Justin could. Elizabeth had brown hair and brown eyes. Yeah, it sounds like she is normal, but too Justin she was special. Her personality could attract anyone. And just looking in her eyes, you could know that something was there. Maybe, that�s why Justin was so attracted to her. That guy she was with, didn�t deserve her.

Middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side
Or will he run and hide?
You don't know
'Cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does your man even
Know you're alive?
I got an idea

�Just looking at her isn�t going to do anything.� Lance screamed over the music.

�Well, what am I supposed to do Lance. Go up to her and say Leave your boyfriend of 3 years and be my girlfriend.� Justin snapped at Lance.

�Chill, I was just trying to help.� Lance said taking a sip of his rum and coke.

�Well you aren�t .� Justin said still looking at Elizabeth. Her boyfriend had just gotten up to dance with some nameless girl. To Justin, that other girl couldn�t even match up to her.

�There�s your chance.� Lance said looking over at Elizabeth, who looked like she was about to cry, and then to Justin.

Justin took the chance. He pushed past some people, and sat down next to Elizabeth. �Hi.� Justin said as he sat down.

�Hi, thanks for inviting me to your birthday party. I�m having a great time.� Elizabeth lied. She was having the worst time of her life. This was her birthday too, and she came to have fun with her boyfriend, but he had to go have fun with some other girl.

�Your welcome. I�m glad you came. Isn�t today your birthday too.� Justin asked. He already knew the answer. He asked everyone for all the information that he could know about Elizabeth. She worked at Jive Records, and the first time he saw her he knew he wanted to get to know her better.

�Yeah, today�s my birthday but we didn�t have anything big planned.� Elizabeth smiled. Justin smiled back at her. Why couldn�t she have a boyfriend like Justin that actually cared.

Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you
Where you are
Girl you should be
My girlfriend

Elizabeth looked over to John who was now making out with that girl he was dancing out with. Elizabeth couldn�t believe it, he actually had the nerve to do this in front of her, in front of her co- workers. She had to get out of there.

She ran out of the club, with tears running down her face. Justin took off behind her. �Elizabeth don�t go.� The sound of Justin�s voice caused her to stop. She wiped away the tears that kept falling and counted to ten. She turned around and put on the best smile she could, hoping that Justin didn�t see what Justin did. She could play it off like this.

�I�m sorry Justin. I don�t feel too good. I need to go home.�

Justin walked towards her. �Listen Elizabeth I saw what happened in there. He obviously is a jerk and you don�t need him.�

She bit down on her tongue , to stop the tears from coming. �I have to go Happy Birthday.� she turned around, walking in the direction of her car.

�Well, at least let me take you home. You are in no condition to drive.� Justin said turning her around so she was facing him.

�That�s okay. I can drive, you don�t have to leave your party.�

�Please.� Justin pleaded. Elizabeth thought about it for a few seconds and then gave in. �Ok.� She handed her keys over to Justin. �It�s this one over here?� Elizabeth said walking in the direction of her car. She stopped at her brand new Mercedez Benz.

�Nice.� Justin smiled before opening the passenger seat door for Elizabeth.

�Thanks.� she replied sitting down and buckling her seatbelt. Justin closed her door and ran over to the drivers seat. He turned on the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot.

�Don�t you think they�re going to miss you, after all you are the birthday boy.� Elizabeth asked. She was actually controlling herself. She didn�t have the need to cry, when she was with Justin.

�Probably, but this is more important.� Justin replied looking over at Elizabeth for a second then back at the road.

�So, um.. Where do you live?� Justin asked.

�Well, it�s like a hour away from here?� Elizabeth responded. �we can go back to your party if you want.�

�We can go to my house. It�s just 5 minutes away.� Justin said.

�Ok, whatever you want to do.� Elizabeth laid her head on the seat and closed her eyes. What a night today was. How could he actually do that to her, in front of her? This was worst then when he would leave her alone in the middle of the night and come back smelling like sex. She just didn�t have the guts to leave him. She didn�t think she could get anyone else.

�We�re here.� Justin said interrupting Elizabeth�s thoughts. She looked at Justin who was staring at her. This was the first time she noticed how beautiful his eyes were. She broke the gaze with Justin and then looked up at his house. No, not a house a mansion. It was the biggest house she�s ever seen.

�Whoa.� was all she could say.

�I�m taking that as a compliment.� Justin laughed before opening the driver seat door. Elizabeth opened her door and stepped out of the car.

�You have a really nice house?� she complimented Justin.

�Thanks.� Justin said putting his hand on her back and ushering her over to the front door. He pulled out his keys and opened the door. Elizabeth knew even before Justin turned on the lights, the inside would be even more spectacular than the outside. When Justin turned on the lights, she was right. It was even bigger than she expected and she expected a lot.

�Sorry, it�s a little messy. The guys were over here last night.�

�It�s okay.� Elizabeth chuckled before sitting down on one of the couches.

�Do you want anything to drink?�

�No, I�m okay.� Elizabeth smiled politely.

�So, um.. Are you going to take him back.� Justin asked. Maybe this was his chance to confess his love for her or just try to get to know her better.

Does he know what you feel?
Are you sure that it's real?
Does he ease your mind
Or does he fake your stride?
Did you know that
Love could be a shield?

�I don�t know. I don�t want to , but I still think I love him. I don�t know how I can still love him though.�

�Yeah, I�m sure it�s going to be hard, but you know once a cheater always a cheater.� Justin said. He had to try to get it through to Elizabeth.

�I know that Justin, I just don�t think I can do any better.� she said looking at her manicured nails.

�Listen to me.� Justin said picking up her chin so she was looking at him. �You are beautiful, you have a nice personality, and you are just a great person. You could get anyone that you wanted.�

�I can�t get you.� Elizabeth said looking up at Justin with her big brown eyes.

Middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side
Or will he run and hide?
You don't know
'Cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does your man even

Justin couldn�t believe she was so outspoken now. What was he supposed to say?

�I�m sorry about that. I don�t know what came over me.� Elizabeth said embarrassed.

�Um.. Don�t worry abut it.� Justin smiled. He didn�t want to tell Elizabeth how he was feeling now. He had to wait, but he feared that she thought he didn�t feel the same way.

Justin�s cellphone rang. �Excuse me.� Justin excused himself before he answered it.

�Hello?�

�J, where are you. We have been looking for you.� Lance said over the music.

�I�m home, something came up. Tell everyone that I am happy that they came, and I�m sorry that I had to leave. � Justin explained.

�What came up?� Lance asked nosily.

�I�ll tell you later. Bye.� Justin pressed the end button.

�Sorry, about that.� Justin apologized.

�It�s okay.� Elizabeth smiled. For some reason ever since she got to Justin�s house she felt a feeling, and she had feelings for Justin now. Where did they come from?

Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you
Where you are
Girl you should be
My girlfriend

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ever since I saw your face
Nothing in my life has been the same
I walk around just saying your name
Without my world would end, yeah
Look around this old damn place
And everything's as
If you were meant to be
My girlfriend

�Elizabeth, I have to tell you something.� Justin said sitting next to her.

�What is it?� Elizabeth asked. She hoped he wouldn�t say that he never wanted to be friends with her, because of her comment before.

�I don�t know really how to say this, but I�m just going to try. I really like you and I�ve liked you since the first time I saw you. I had a feeling that you were special, and I truly think you are special. I don�t want to push things farther than they could go, but I would really like to get to know you even if we are just friends.� Justin smiled awaiting her reaction.

�I want to get to know you too.� Elizabeth smiled before leaning over and kissing Justin gently on the lips. Just a quick kiss. She would never had done that before.

�I�m happy to hear that.� Justin smiled before pulling her into a hug.

�So, um.. What do you want to talk about?� Elizabeth asked.

Justin shrugged his shoulders. �Tell me some stuff about yourself.�

�Okay, well I�m from North Carolina. I�ve lived their ever since I was born, and this is my first time being away from home. We didn�t usually travel to places.� Elizabeth explained. �Now, what about you.�

�I�m from Tennessee, I left there when I was 15 to come to Orlando to form the group and now I�m here.� Justin smiled. Elizabeth noticed that he did that a lot. Maybe it was because she was around.

Justin and her talked about each other�s lives for another 2 hours. Before they knew it, it was already 1 in the morning.

A yawn escaped Elizabeth�s mouth.

�It�s late.� Justin laughed before yawning.

�Yeah, I guess it is.� Elizabeth laughed with him.

Justin looked at her, and did the only thing he could think of doing. He leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. Before he could say anything to her she pulled him into another kiss this time deeper and more intimate. This time she pulled away and looked into Justin�s eyes for the answer. The answer to what? Before she didn�t know if she could leave John, but now she had the answer. She was going to leave John, possibly for Justin. If Justin was interested.

�Well, I think I should be going.� Elizabeth said standing up.

�Are you sure? You can stay here for the night.�

�Yeah, I have to be somewhere in the morning. But I would like to see you again.�

�That would be good.� Justin led Elizabeth out of the house and gave her another quick kiss on the lips before she left.

He let out a deep breath as he closed the door. That didn�t go too bad he thought.

Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you
Where you are
Girl you should be
My girlfriend

Ring ring ring

Justin awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. It took him a few seconds to figure out what was ringing.

�Hello?� he answered..

�Justin this is.�

�Elizabeth, how are you doing.� Justin said coming into the middle of her sentence. He felt as if he had been up for a few hours when he heard her voice.

�I�m fine, I wanted to know if I could come over. I have to tell you something.�

�Yeah, sure that�s cool.�

�Ok, so I�ll be over there in like a hour.�

�That�s fine. I�ll be here.� Justin said before hanging up the phone.

Ah, ah, ah, ah

You should be
My girlfriend
Girl you should be
My girlfriend
Girl you should be
My girlfriend
Girl you should be
My girlfriend
Girl you should be
My girlfriend

The doorbell rang and Justin raced downstairs to answer it. Before he opened the door he regained his breath, so she wouldn�t know he actually ran .

He opened the door, and she looked more beautiful than she did last night.

�Hi.� she smiled before Justin pulled her into a hug.

�Hey, you look beautiful.� Justin complimented her.

�Thanks.� Elizabeth said walking into the house. It looked the same like it did last night.

�So.. Um.. What did you have to talk to me about.� Justin asked closing the front door.

�About last night.� Elizabeth said sitting down on the couch.

�Okay.� Justin sat in the chair across from her.

�Well, I know I mean we only really talked last night, but I have a strong attraction for you. You helped me realize that I don�t need John, and I don�t want John. He was just holding me back from what I could accomplish with myself or someone else. I ended it with him, and you know he didn�t even care. But anyways off of him. I really want to be with you.� She raised her eyebrows when she finished and smiled at him. Justin walked over to Elizabeth and smiled.

�I feel the same way about you too.� Justin smiled. He tucked her hair behind her ears. �So will you be my girlfriend?� he asked.

�Yes.� Elizabeth smiled before feeling tears form in her eyes. She was way too mushy when it came to love. Justin brought her closer to him and there faces inched closer as their lips finally met.
