"I feel like a complete idiota!!"
"Because you are. Girl I wouldn't have left that rich white boy after he basically begged you to stay."
"But Clarke!!"
"Don't Clarke me, after all the bullshit we had to go through with these jackasses here you get someone that's worth it all and you just leave? Get out of here."
"What was I going to do? That was just one good week! We still barely know each other no matter how much we really like each other."
"You mean love."
"Come again?"
"Its written all over your face, you are in love with that boy. Don't be acting brand new."
"Well its too late to right the wrongs. Here I am drowning my sorrows with some Lil' Caesars and some green apple sodas."
"How is it that you work at a pizza place yet you still eat pizza all the time from somewhere else?"
"Girl I love Pizza Papalis, but there is no way I'm pay $18 for a small pizza."
"But you have to admit that those shrimp pizza's are good." Krystal noticed that Kristina wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. "Hello earth to Anderson?"
"Oh---my----word."
"What?" Kristina pointed to the television.
"...No one knows who the mystery woman is but inside sources say that the couple recently met and instantly in love. The young woman was seen with pop star Timberlake at the LAX today."
"I am so screwed." Almost immediately Kristina's phone began to ring. "Hello?"
"KRISTINA OHMYGOSH!!!" Jasmine screamed. Just then her phone buzzed over.
"Um, hold on a sec." Kristina clicked over.
"KRISTINA OHMY--" Darnise was on the other end. Sometime between then Jasmine hung up and her phone buzzed again.
"Hello?" she said flatly.
"Kristina?" Kristina sat straight up. It was her boss Shanna.
"Shanna?"
"Kristina you lied to me." Kristina put her head in her hands. Shanna blew out some air. "But if you had to lie about that than I don't blame you."
"You aren't going to fire me? I mean I really need this job, spring semester is coming up and I need to take this French class and this math class so bad and without a job--"
"Kristina I'm not going to fire you. Get me an autograph and it'll be under the rug."
"I'll see what I can do." Kristina hung up the phone and plopped back onto Krystal's bed. "This is going to be interesting."
*****************
Early that next day Kristina got up early to go to church. Spending the night at Krystal's made it close for her to get there since it was in southwest and she lived all the way on the northwest side of town. She took her usual spot, alone in the middle of the aisle. It was a pretty average sized Lutheran church filled with a lot of older people, mainly polish immigrants and their families. She was one of a few black people that went to the church but no one ever made her feel out of place. They all had mainly saw her grow up into the young woman she was today because she attended the Lutheran school next door before it closed. The church always comforted her. Maybe today God would give her some help with the situation she was in.
"About damn time!!" Justin screamed looking up at the huge church that stood before him. It took forever to find her church. He had went on his quest to look for Kristina's church. He was like a chicken with its head cut off looking around for that church. Finally he found it on this tiny street that no one would've ever looked for. He was for sure that the service was almost up but he'd try at least. Walking into the church, he was so nervous. Not so much if someone would see him, more so of what would Kristina think? Would she think he was pushy? It was pretty easy to find her. Everyone there was pretty old. She sat alone in the middle, but from the looks he was getting from the doormen he decided to just sit down in the back. "..please greet your brothers and sisters in Christ." Justin had no clue what was going on. The crowd got up and began to say hello to one another. A few people came up to him, but it seemed as if they didn't know who he was. They were so kind saying hello and giving him pats on the back all the while he kept his eyes on Kristina.
"Nice to meet you son."
"Nice to meet you too sir." There she was, just a few feet away. Sticking his hand out he wanted for her to turn to him. Kristina's eyes grew wide. Forget handshake she jumped into his arms and held on tight.
"Justin, what are you doing here?"
"To see you."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No."
"Oh my goodness. Um, let me go get my stuff." Kristina grabbed her bible and purse and came back to him. Nobody couldn't tell her that God didn't work wonders. For once Justin got a glimpse of Kristina's life. She was crazy about her church and the school next to it that was once open. He was used to going to his big Baptist church with the full band, singing and dancing. This was a bit different, it was just an old huge organ to flowed through the whole church and operaretic singing. Service ended soon afterwards and the two headed out hand and hand. "So where are you staying?"
"The GM Westin."
"Ah ok the Ren Cen, cool. I still can't believe you're here."
"Neither can I. As soon as your plane went up I went and got a ticket."
"Aw!"
"But I can only stay for one day." Kristina began to frown. She'd only have him for one day? "No, don't be sad."
"I'm not, I'm happy. Really I am."
"Good so am I. I want you to stay with me tonight."
"Of course" she smiled. "But I have to stop by my place before I come down there for some changing clothes."
"I'll give you something to wear."
"No I mean out of this. Its too hot to keep this on."
"Ok, well I'll come with you." AHHHHH!!! NOOO!! Come with her? Then he'd meet her family!!
"Uh"
"I want to meet your fam."
"Fam, ah ha ha."
"Scared to introduce me or something?"
"No not at all."
"Then come on babe, let's go."
************************
"Who is it?"
"Its me." Kristina's mother opened the door and basically stood in a state of shock. Did Justin Timberlake just walk into their apartment? Nah, couldn't be could it? "Where's grandma?"
"She's in the back. So are you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Um, this is Justin, Justin, this is my mother but we just call her Peggy."
"Nice to meet you Peggy."
"Nice to meet you too." Kristina's grandma came walking into the room. Who was the guy sitting on the couch?
"Hello" she said oddly.
"Hello ma'am."
"This is my grandma, grandma this is Justin."
"Hi how are ya Justin?"
"I'm good and yourself?"
"Just fine, trying to deal with this heat."
"Yeah it is pretty hot here for Michigan." Kristina slid out of the room to hurry and get some changing clothes and night clothes. Things seemed to be going well with Justin and her grandmother.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going with Justin Timberlake?" her mother asked.
"Does it matter?"
"YES!! Where'd ya'll meet?"
"At a hotel."
"Kriiissstttiiinnnaaa, no!"
"Mother!" She only called her mother when she wanted to piss her off. "Peggy its not like that ok? I'm going to go spend the night with him is that ok?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Good see you tomorrow." Kristina walked back into the room. Justin and her grandmother were talking about Tennessee.
"Yeah I know where Columbia is, used to drive past there a few times."
"Let me guess, the Tennessee connection?"
"Yup."
"He knows where it is Kristina."
"That's great grandma." A knock on the door startled everyone. "Who is it?"
"Me fartface." Kristina opened the door to her sister Kim.
"Hey hey..hey?" Kim looked over to Justin sitting on the couch.
"Hi."
"Kim Justin, Justin Kim."
"Hey."
"Now we have to go."
"Ya'll just got here." This was what she was dreading. Kristina didn't want her mother to say something off the wall to have Justin running for the hills. She walked back over to the couch with a frown on her face. They all began to talk, how Justin met Kristina and her week in California. All that mumbo jumbo. They genuinely seemed like they enjoyed Justin and vice versa. There was an instant Tennessee thing with her grandma so they got along easily. He got along with her sister and her mother too, but Peggy was more star struck than anything. After almost 2 hours they left and headed back downtown.
"Thank goodness that's over."
"Why? I like your family."
"That's just the first meeting."
"Ah come on, give them some credit. They were pretty sweet."
"I suppose. I think they really liked you too."
"How could you not?" he laughed.
"Yeah yeah."
"So you don't live with your dad?"
"No, he and my mother separated when I was 1 years old."
"What happened if I'm not being too personal?"
"He cheated on my mother constantly. She just couldn't take it anymore."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"I mean its like he just kept on and kept on. She kept taking him back she was like she couldn't do anymore when she found out that he had a son with someone he cheated on." Justin could see the hurt in her eyes as she talked about the way her father treated her mother. He didn't want to say anything but in his eyes, he was a bastard. Anyone who could upset Kristina like that wasn't worth his time.
"That's horrible but maybe its good it happened because it played a role in how you are now."
"That's true. I mean from that I could never cheat on someone I loved. My father cheated on my mother and one of my old boyfriends cheated on me. I could never hurt someone like that. If I was cheated on again I just don't know what I could do. It'd kill me."
"Well you don't have to worry about me, I'd never cheat on you. I don't have it in my heart to do it. I'll never hurt you."
"Justin, please don't say that. We don't know what the future holds."
"I do and I know that I'll never ever cheat or hurt you. I promise."
"You promise?"
"Promise." They began to kiss each other. Justin pulled away and looked into her chocolate eyes. "Would you be mad if I told you so soon that I love you?"
"No, because I love you too." Nothing could take Justin off his high right now. He was riding on cloud 9. Not only was he here with Kristina, but he met her family which was cool and to top it off she loved him. Could life get any better?
Chapter 8
"I honestly don't think I can eat another bite" Justin groaned.
"Oh come on, you call yourself a man?"
"You're the one who ate like two telway's."
"I ate three, besides I had come Better made's and a whole faygo to myself."
"Yeah yeah yeah."
"Bup, bup bup, sadatay."
"Right right, sadatay." KRistina got up from the floor and grabbed the garbage off the floor. Kristina wanted to give him a taste of Michigan by grabbing up a few Telway burgers, Better Made chips and Faygo pops. They watched Pootie Tang, one of Kristina's favorite movies. Now Justin was going to be walking about saying sadatay all day.
"I'm going to go change my clothes ok?"
"Alright." Kristina walked into the bathroom and got ready for bed. Justin's flight was going to around 8 and she wanted to wake up at least to have breakfast with him before he left. When she came out she had her back turned while she put the rest of her things up. "I swear you're the only girl I know who makes Forever 21 sweats look sexy as hell." She just shook her head and laughed. Most of the time when she wore them around her house Peggy or her grandmother would call them plumbers pants since they rode so low.
"Only you" Justin stood nude before her. That came as a total shock. Quickly she averted her eyes. What the hell was he doing with no clothes on?! And why did he have to look so good?
"Kristina?"
"Yeah?" She went on as if she hadn't seen anything. Her heart began to race. She could feel his blue eyes burning through her so she kept her head down.
"Kristina look at me." He didn't have to tell her twice. She scanned his entire body. Wasn't it the 11th commandment to not have such a delicious body? The wash board stomach. Strong muscular arm and his..there goes the sweat building up. "Kristina I said look at me." Her eyes connected with his as he moved closer in. "Are you scared?"
"Just a little."
"Why?"
"Um because I don't think I should be looking at you in your current state."
"The human body is a beautiful natural thing."
"That," she said motioning her head down "is most unnatural." Justin began to blush. He was pretty big but seeing Kristina flush from nervousness from looking at Justin jr. was hilarious. He tried hard but he couldn't help but smile.
"Ok, gotcha but I don't want you to be nervous around me, ever ok?"
"Even when you're waltzing around in nothing but oxygen."
"Even then. Its just Justin baby" he laughed.
"Cute, you go and put something on those cute buns."
"You think my buns are cute?"
"Justin!!"
"Ok, I'm going." Justin walked over to his bag and got some clothes to put on. She couldn't believe what was happening. If only the girls of America knew. There standing right in front of her was an uber nude Justin Timberlake. A sting on her rear end took her out of her thoughts.
"Ow" she laughed rubbing her cheek.
"You're laughing."
"And?"
"You like it rough then."
"Oh shutuppayapiehola" she said shaking her fist.
"Say what?"
"I said shutuppayapiehola."
"I'll shut up your pie hole!" Justin grabbed Kristina, pulled her down on the bed and began to tickle her. She was laughing so hard tears came out of her eyes.
"Ok, ok, ok, my pie hole is shut." The laughter stopped and they began to kiss. Each kiss grew deeper and deeper.
"I love you Kristina Anderson."
"I love you too Justin Timbercakes."
"Ok, that's it!"
"Ahhhh!!" she laughed. She should've never told him she was ticklish.
**********************
"Dude you look tired."
"I am" Justin yawned. "But I'm ok." Justin just made it from the airport right to the record company's LA office for discussion for the groups European tour. There was something different about Justin, what they couldn't pinpoint. They figured he was depressed last night since Kristina was gone. They called, they stopped by, nothing. He didn't answer anything at all and here he was today literally dancing through the Jive halls. But why would he be so tired if he was sleep all weekend?
"So Europe for the next 3 months huh?"
"Yeah."
"What's Kristina gonna say?"
"I'm sure she'll ok with it. We'll miss each other but we'll be fine." Justin was smiling way too much.
"Dude you got something you wanna say?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You're smiling like a monkey with a banana, what gives." The jig was up, he was going to find out anyways.
"I went to Detroit yesterday, that's why I came in at the last minute."
"YOU WHAT?! Dude that is not cool!"
"I had to, I had to see her one last time before this tour started." "But you did, you saw her for a week."
"That wasn't good enough."
"So 6 instead of 5 days were better?"
"Yeah it was. It was wonderful. We went to church together, I met her family, she got me all this stuff from Michigan and we watched movies no biggie."
"Justin I know you're in love but you didn't tell anyone where you were going, what if there was an incident?"
"But it wasn't so forget it. I had a great time being with her. This morning topped it all. We had breakfast on the balcony over looking the Detroit River and I told her that I loved her." No matter how much J.C wanted strangle him he was in love and he knew how that felt. His face was just filled with happiness.
"What did she say?"
"She loves me too."
"That's great man, I'm really happy for you man. I really am."
"Thanks dude."
"But there's one thing. You couldn't be without her for one day, what happens when we go over to Europe, you won't be able to make a sneaky trip back to Detroit." Justin stood there for a minute, he was right. He wouldn't be able to just jump on a plane to see her when he needed his Kristina fix. Now this was going to be interesting.
*******************
"I'm going to miss you" Kristina sighed. Justin was supposed to have the next three months off, instead Jive thought it'd be a good idea to go on and let them do their promotional tour for their new album in Europe as soon as possible from the great response they had here in America. Though he could only see her for an hour, the stop in Detroit before hopping on his flight on British airways was worth it. He had to see her one last time. He had to feel her lips on his, her tongue on his, the smell of her citrus body spray, the feeling of her hand holding his. How could he leave that all behind before having it one more time. These next three months were going to be hectic but if they could make then they were solid for sure. So Justin couldn't be seen, they sat alone together in one of his bodyguards tinted out Excursion, just talking about everything avoiding the inevitable. Be mine by David Gray played low within the car as Justin held onto her.
"I'm going to miss you too babe. Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"Turn around and look at me." Kristina sat up some and looked into Justin's crystal blue eyes. How was it every time he looked at her, her heart flutter every time? "I just want to look at you as much as I can."
"Ok" she laughed.
"I'm serious" and he was right. Seriousness was written all over his face. "So tell me, what's your biggest dream?"
"My biggest dream?"
"Yeah."
"I don't know."
"I mean what's one thing you've always wanted to do you never have?" "Ok.travel. I have a very strict family and it doesn't help that I'm the youngest and a girl. I've only been to Ohio way too many times to count and Indiana once and I didn't really travel much there because I was with my school watching some middle school kids for camp."
"Where would you want to go?"
"I don't know, Rio or Paris but maybe Paris more. I had French when I was little and I recently took a French class, I'd just like to see the city of lights you know."
"Yeah, what about you?"
"I've been so many places but one place..I can honestly say there's nowhere."
"Wow nowhere?"
"Nowhere."
"You've been blessed Justin. There's so many people that could say that."
"I know, but sometimes with all the traveling you just want to stay still somewhere. Where no one knows who you are, where you can just be yourself without a million people ready to scratch and claw their way to you just to touch you."
"I know that must be tough."
"More than you can imagine, but I make due."
"That I know. My babe is tough." Kristina just smiled but out of the corner of her eye the clock read 7:50 and his plane was leaving at 8:00. He could already tell what was happening from her frown.
"Bup, bup, bup I'm gonna call you everyday and every night. Email you and send you letters; I think you just might get sick of me."
"I could never get sick of you."
"Yeah we'll see about that." Justin slid out of the SUV holding Krisitna's hand. "I have something for you."
"Justin--"
"Its sentimental ok? But don't open it till I leave ok?"
"Ok." Justin passed Kristina the small blue box over. She wasn't sure what it was but she promised that she wouldn't open it. Before he left he gave Kristina a kiss so hot that it lingered on her lips way after he left. There sitting on a bench outside the airport, Kristina watched his plane take off and disappear into the blue skies. He was gone, gone for a whole 3 months. She could feel her heart breaking into a million pieces. Then she remembered the gift. Opening the box, the gift put a smile on her face. It was one of his shirts and it smelt just like him. A little note was attached at the bottom of the box.
"Think of me, love Justin."
"Oh Timbercakes" she sighed.
Chapter 9
The past month had been basically horrendous. Now they were going to have to deal with this for two more? Oh the pain! Not only was Justin so far away, Kristina had to constantly see pictures of him in the tabloids and magazines with countless women. Of course he told her that he wasn't involved with any of them. Now she'd be inhuman to not think the worst but her heart of hearts told her that wasn't true. The dances with these woman that looked like supermodels were just people he met in clubs and public events that some paparazzi took a picture of and spun into some off the wall story. She believed him because even she indulged a little in those tabloid papers knowing all and good well that they weren't true. Especially the one itme they hounded her at school. When she told Justin he flipped. He wanted to get her a bodyguard and have them talk to the security of her school but that was most unnecessary. She could remember it like it was yesterday.
Today was a little cooler than most days in the summer because of this big rain storm the day before. Wearing her tweed coat for the first time since September, Kristina walked out of her biology class like any other day. She noticed a lot of people standing outside the door but since her community college was right across the street from a new station she figured there was some story going down or something.
"Are you Kristina Anderson?"
"What?"
"Are you dating Justin Timberlake?"
"Who are you?"
"National Enqiurer."
"What?"
"How is it dating a superstar?"
"Do you know that he's dating another woman in Spain?"
"What are you talking about?"
"HOw does it feel to be some unknown dating Justin?"
"What are your thoughts about Britney Spears?" Kristina could take anymore of the questions from these people who were obviously not from around the area. She bombarded through them and walked over to her car with them right on her heels. The paparazzi began to clammer around her car to the point she couldn't move without hitting one of them.
"I am from the motor city and I will run you down with my motor vehicle if you don't get out of my way!" Everyone stepped out of the way, trying to hurry to their cars to follow her but since she knew all the backstreets she lost them. She paid no more mind to it, brushing it off. Almost everday they waited for her and everyday she avoided them by going out of various doors everyday. It was hectic but she had to do what she had to do. She didn't bother telling Justin because he had enough on his plate with the touring and what not. He was telling he how he was always tired and worn out, why bother him with that too. Well until he saw her picture in one of the German tabloids.
"POP STAR FALLS IN LOVE WITH PIZZA GIRL" there was Kristina sitting behind one of her bio labs writing something down. That boiled his blood. They were messing with his girl and that wasn't a possibility. Quickly he grabbed his phone and called her up.
"�Hola?"
"Kristina?"
"Si! I'm just kidding, hey babe."
"Hey, how are ya?"
"I'm good, how are you?"
"A little peed off."
"Why what's up?"
"I see you."
"You see me?"
"I see you right in front of my eyes."
"Justin, say no to drugs."
"No, I see you in a magazine." Oh great, this was going to make for interesting conversation.
"Ok"
"Did someone approach you?"
"Uh."
"Kristina."
"Yeah like a few weeks ago."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I just pushed my way through, hopped in my car and sped off."
"And?"
"And that's it. I tried to avoid them but I guess that didn't work then huh?"
"Kristna" he sighed. Now they were moving their way into her life and he didn't like that one bit. She wasn't used that happening. Hell even he still wasn't and he had been in the business for 6 years. "If they say anything to you, don't say anything and I repeat not one word. They'll take anything you say and run with, ok?"
"Ok."
"Babe I'm sorry that happened."
"Its ok, really."
"No its not ok, I don't want them stalking you like that. I know I hate it and I don't want that happening to you."
"Look worse things have happened to me, remember I'm the one who went to private school, ok?" How oculd she just take things like that and just laugh with it. If that was him he'd be ready to kill someone. They finished talking about another subject. How he was enjoying Crimmitshau and how they were moving to Rome the next day. Gosh he was so lucky! She'd shave her whole head just to go to Rome. Ok maybe that was pushing it but man, Rome?! Kristina heard Justin give off a yawn. It was 3 in Detroit but it was like 7 in the morning that next day there. "Babe get some sleep ok?"
"Ok, I'll dream of you."
"Maybe singing wasn't what you should be in, jokes are more like it."
"Why do you think I'm joking?"
"I don't know, I guess it's a little werid for me to think that someone dreams of me."
"Do you dream of me?"
"Of course."
"What do you dream about?"
"Like I'm going to tell you that!!"
"Ohh kinky, come on!"
"No J!"
"Come on! Let me guess me in nothing but whip cream." SHe couldn't help but laugh at that one. Then again there was that one dream "Justin Randall Timberlake--"
"Ooh the whole name! Now I'm getting somewhere. So you've dreamt of me in whip cream eh? Don't worry there was this one dream I had about you with honey and I was lick--"
"Goodnight J."
"Ok, ok, goodnight." Kristina hung up her phone and looked over to the calender, two more months to go.
*********************
"I'm only coming cuz you wanna see that bum Quan."
"I don't say nothing when you ranting and raving over Justin."
"One I don't rant and rave and two I don't drag you to some party that you barely know anyone to on the eastside of all places!!" One cardinal rule that Kristina and Krystal agreed with was the Westside was the best side. Yes they both hated when people talked about Detroit because it really wasn't as bad as people or television made it out to be. To live there, you know the deal but hell even they had their limits and that was the eastside of town. They were only over there because Krystal met some dude down on Belle Isle with Kia named Quan that she was completely smitten over in less than 5 minutes. Well Kristina couldn't tlak because she was smitten with Justin but at least it was for more than 5 minutes!! So here they were driving down east 7 mile looking for this guys house. He was having some kind of house party and wanted the girls to stop by. Kristina told Justin that she was going to a party, just didn't give any specific details which made him leery but if she wanted to tell him more she would. The street was filled with cars. You could hear the music bumping all the way from the spot that they parked at.
"Ok if things get crazy, I'm coming back to the car."
"Fine" krystal said rolling her eyes. As soon as you stepped through the door the thick cloud of weed smoke smacked them in the face. "Ooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkk." All eyes on me, that's exactly how it felt when they both walked in. It seemed as if the party was filled with more guys than girls. {God please let Krystal find this dude and get us out of her ASAP!}
"Hey baby girl you made it."
"Yup." "So this yo' girl you always talking about?"
"Yeah this is Kristina, Kristina this is Quan."
"Nice to meet you." He seemed like a pretty decent guy, sort of reminded her of Omar Epps, but what was he doing hanging around these guys that looked like they should be up in Jackson state penitentiary and these girls that she was for sure she saw walking the streets down on Michigan Avenue? She paid it no mind, walking to the back with the two of them in the kitchen. They didn't do much, just talked, watched some guys play poker. They seemed to mesh well together and she was happy that her friend found someone to make her happy like Justin made her. "Hey um, where's the bathroom?" "Upstairs, second door on the right."
"Thanks." Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go to the bathroom by herself. She did kind of want to give Krystal and Quan some time alone but then again this party was a little too hype for her blood. Something just didn't feel right and she was going to make sure she used the can as fast as she could. Just as she finished up someone knocked on the door. "Someone's in here!" she called out. Kristina dried her hands and headed for the door. "Its all yours" she said to the guy standing on the other end.
"Yeah I know." How it happened, she wasn't too sure how it happened since it was so quick but next thing she knew she was pushed really hard back into the bathroom so hard that she fell right on her back. Whoever this guy was jumped right on top of her and pressed all his body weight on her. She tried to scream as loud as she could but no one could hear over Gimme the light. He kept trying to kiss her but she kept moving her head. His size was continuously pressing into her. He was much bigger than her, maybe 290, 6'5? She could smell the liqour on his breath which was horrendous. Her cell was ringing off the hook but she couldn't answer it since she was so busy trying to fight this guy off.
"I know you saw me down there, pretending like you didn't see me. But I saw you and I always get what I want."
"Stop Please!!" she pleaded but that wasn't getting her nowhere. Ok, see now he then had to make her unleash the southwest in her. With all her strength she dug her stiletto heels into his calves causing him to jump up, ripping her shirt in the middle. He screamed in pain. She couldn't just get pass him so she looked for something to fight with. Her eyes came across a porcelin soap dish. Who knew one hit across his head with something so little would knock him out?
Krisitna hopped over his body and ran down the steps as fast as her legs would take her. She didn't even bother going to get Krystal, she just ran out the door. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy but right now she oculd careless. Still her phone was ringing. She was running so fast that she tripped in the middle of the street. The ringing continued and contined that she just couldn't take it anymore.
"Hello?" she answered upset.
"Kristina what's wrong?"
"Huh?"
"Kristina what's wrong?" It was Justin. He could detect something was wrong by the way she answered her phone.
"Nothing" here was another situation she didn't want to bother him with. She was still on her knees in the middle of the street but now she was crying. Boy she hoped he couldn't tell she was but he wasn't that stupid.
"You wouldn't be crying about nothing, tell me now!" he said in a stern voice. "Someone almost raped me" she cried. Oh yeah being honest sometimes not good especially when it came to Justin. All you could hear was stuff being thrown around and Justin cussing up a storm. "Justin,Justin, please calm down!"
"FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!!"
"Justin baby please" she cried.
"NO I'M NOT GONNA FUCKIN' CALM DOWN!! I'M COMING THERE RIGHT NOW AND I'M KILLING THAT BASTARD!!"
"Justin, I handled myself ok? You can't come here!"
"Watch me."
"Justin no! ok, I'm fine, really I am. He was drunk--"
"That's no excuse!"
"I know its not, just calm down please." Justin sat down but he was far from not being angry. His whole body literally shook in anger, it was a feeling that he had never felt before. "I'm ok really I am."
"I should be there."
"But you're not and I can take care of myself. I knocked him out with a soap dish."
"A soap dish?"
"It was harder than I thought. Look I'm sitting right in the middle of the street and I still need to go get Krystal."
"Speaking of her, why'd she leave you alone for that to happen?"
"She didn't, I had to go to the bathroom and that's when he cornered me. This isn't her fault."
"If she hadn't took you to that damn party this wouldn't be happening."
"I know but this isn't her fault."
"Ok, you're right but you're not going back in there. That's final." Kristina just sighed she wasn't sure if she was supposed to say `yes Justin' or `yes father'. She knew that maybe it wasn't a great idea to go back in but Krystal was driving. She took him out before she could do it again. You couldn't live in this city without knowing how to handle business.
"Ok, I'm gonna call her from my phone and tell her to come out."
"Alright I want you to go to the hospital see if you're ok."
"Justin its not that serious."
"Kristna, I want to know if you're ok."
"Babe, one any hospital in this town would turn me away because its not serious and even if they did see me, it'd take hours before I saw a doctor. That's just how it is here."
"Well call me as soon as you and Krystal pull off. I'm not getting off this phone till I know you're safe at home."
"Alright I will."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Kristina got off the phone and called Krystal. She told her everything that happened upstairs and immediately she came running out. Quan guaranteed both of them he'd be handled for that shit he tried to pull on her. In most cases that would be pretty scary to hear from someone but right now she didn't care what he did to him. Justin waited awhile for Kristina to call him back but his anger didn't subside. Just thinking more about it made him more and more angrier. He began throwing everything around yelling to the top of his lungs.
"Man what is going in here?" J.C. asked with the rest of the guys that walked in. Justin's room was trashed and he was red as a beet. He couldn't talk he just shook his head. Lance closed the door behind him and everyone gathered around him to see what was up.
"Justin, you want to tell us what's got you all riled up?"
"Its Kristina."
"What happened?"
"She--she." They were expecting him to say something like she broke up with something. "She almost got raped" he said in barely a whisper. Everyone was shocked. Yeah it was understandable that he was upset, even they were upset. That couldn't happen to anyone nicer, let alone anyone period.
"Man I'm sorry" Chris said. That was the only thing that they could say. Justin's phone rung. It was Kristina telling him that they were pulling away. Justin stayed on the phone with her until she got home and talked all the way till she fell off to sleep. It was night there but it was evening there in Rome. Justin sat watching the sunset. He couldn't protect her when she needed him the most and that's what hurt the most. What kind of boyfriend oculd he be if he was never there? He would say that maybe leaving her would be the obvious choice. She could find someone who oculd love and protect her 24/7 not when he was off tour. But Justin was selfish, selfish when it came to love and he wasn't giving up his soul mate for nothing.
"One more month babe one more month."
