A month into filming the movie Belinda and the rest of the entire crew finally had a good four days off in a row. Belinda was a little unsure as to why they got the time off but with the way her schedule was lately she wasn’t complaining.
“So what are your plans for your time off?”
Belinda turned to look at Chloe who had to come and ‘check on things’ before giving her free rein over her four days off.
“I’m not entirely sure, I was thinking of maybe going to see Emma. She’s on a school break at the moment so that could be fun” she answered as she sat on her bed trying to paint her toenails.
“How long since you’ve seen her?” asked Chloe as she went through the paperwork for Belinda’s up coming schedule.
“About three months give or take. She was busy with school and I was busy everywhere so we always just…” Belinda stopped short at the sound of knocking coming from her hotel door.
Belinda looked at Chloe with pleading eyes “Can you open that for me please Chloe?” Chloe just grunted in response “Pleeeease Chloe you know how much trouble I have painting my toes” she begged
Chloe got out of her chair with a huff as she started to make her way towards the door that had received yet another knock.
“Well look at you getting all diva right before my very eyes” she said with a chuckle as she opened the door
“Well, well if it isn’t the pop star and his boy wonder” she said when the door opened to reveal Justin and Trace behind it
“Well if it isn’t the wicked witch of the west” Trace rebutted as he walked past her into the room
“Trace don’t be an ass to my assistant slash slave driver” said Belinda with a smirk on her face
“You know I never feel any appreciation when I’m around you lot” Chloe complained sarcastically as she sat back down at the table where Trace had joined her also checking out her paperwork.
“Of course we appreciate you honey, I mean no one around your age has a crush on me like you do: said Justin jokingly as he threw himself on the bed along with Belinda
“Hey watch it buddy I’m hard at work over here” she chastised as Justin made the bed bounce from his weight
“Sorry my bad” he apologized “Here let me help” he said taking the nail brush away from her
“Didn’t you do this in a video or something?” asked Chloe with curious eyes
“You did?” asked Belinda with a cute chuckle
“Hey that just proves I know what I’m doing”
“No” Trace corrected “that just proves you still resort to the same old moves” he said causing the two girls to have a small laugh at Justin’s expense
“Anyway!” Justin said trying to move the subject along “We did come in here for a reason. We were wondering what you were doing for you break” he asked looking up at Belinda then just as quickly back at her toes
“I’m thinking of going to see my best friend” she said having a chuckle at the look of concentration of Justin’s face as his tongue made it’s way out of the corner of his mouth.
“Oh really? This wouldn’t happen to be Emma now would it?” Trace asked his interest peaked
“Yes it’s Emma why do you say it like that?” she asked
“No reason, no reason at all” he said with a smile
“He wants to tap her that’s why” inserted Justin not even looking up from his task at hand.
“Aw really Tracey? Well you could always come with me to LA if you want, that way you could tell her how much and what exactly you want to tap, you know show her your southern charm that I know is hiding in there somewhere” she said laughing at Justin who was blowing on her toes to dry them.
“You’re going to LA?” both Justin and Trace asked
Belinda looked at the two guys a little confused at their excitement “Um yeah why?”
“Well it just so happens that, that is where we are going” said Trace
“What no way really?” asked Belinda also getting a little excited “What are you guys going for? I mean it’s none of my business but I…” she asked feeling like she was being nosey
“It’s alright to ask sugar” Justin reassured her with a wink “I have to attend the Grammy’s this year that’s all”
“That’s all the man says. He has to attend because he’s only nominated five times” informed Trace proud of his best friend’s achievements.
“Wow five times Justin, you must really be the shit” said Belinda “Yeah I’m alright” he said trying to laugh off his embarrassment
“I have the best fucking idea ever” yelled Trace getting to his feet
“Ok the almighty Trace what would your great idea be?” asked Chloe not really paying attention until his outburst
“No, not just a great idea, but the best fucking idea” he corrected her “Well Ken’s always up your ass about the bad publicity you’ve been getting lately right?” he said looking at Justin but not waiting for an answer “And you” he said turning his attention towards Belinda “Chloe and Steven are always wanting to put you out in the public a little bit more right?” he asked now looking at Chloe who was lightly nodding her head
“Right, now where is this train of thought going?” asked Chloe impatiently
“Well, my dear friend here is dateless for his award show and your dear charge is going to be in the same area as said friend and said award show” he said hoping someone would catch on
“I think I like where this is going” Chloe said finally getting the hint “Justin here get’s a little good press and Belinda will get her face out there a little more just by going together” she agreed then suddenly frowned “wait no” she said shaking her head “No it won’t work. It would just start the rumors again about the two of them being together. We had enough trouble with the pictures that came out with them in the park a while ago”
“wait what photos?” asked Belinda unaware of any photos of her and Justin
“Don’t worry we sorted it out” Chloe said trying to wave it off
“No what photos? You didn’t tell me about any photos or rumors that came up” she said getting a little pissed
Chloe sighed, she had hoped they could have kept it from Belinda as they all knew she would get too worked up over it. “There were pictures a while back of you three in a park together, but everyone got riled up with the photos of you and Justin” she explained
Belinda put her head down remembering the day Trace and Justin had come over to her in the park and had taken her phone off her “But we were only mucking around, what’s wrong with that? Was it that bad?” she asked
“Hey don’t worry about it Bell, everything got sorted on both ends and there was no harm done, people are always going to gossip” said Justin trying to give her some comfort
“yeah I guess” she said a little unconvinced
“Like I said what better way to counteract it all but with two friends” Trace said looking at both Justin and Belinda “who are also working together on a movie, going to an awards show as friends?”
The four all sat in silence for a while all thinking it over
:Ok, she’ll do it” agreed Chloe
“I will?” asked Belinda slightly shocked Chloe agreed
“What you don’t want to go?”
Belinda looked at Justin “What? You want me too?” she asked
“Well I don’t really see why not” he said “for one it’ll get Ken off my ass and two I get to take you as my date now that can’t be too bad can it?” he said giving her a reassuring grin
“I don’t know it’s meant to be my time off and Emma…”
“Won’t mind if your not there one night. She can even come to the after parties if it makes you feel better. And besides from the looks of those two it looks like things are already getting set into motion” he said nodding his head towards Trace and Chloe who were both busy talking on heir phones
Belinda sighed and fell back onto the bed ‘It couldn’t be that bad could it? I mean it may boost my notoriety a bit and besides Justin is kind of a hot date to have’ she thought to herself
“I guess I’m going to the Grammy’s” she relented
Justin patted her leg in comfort and went back to his task of painting her toenails.
