Belinda Walked out of the elevator and into an apartment hallway. Walking down until she saw the numbers 808, she stopped and struggled to get the keys out of her bag in one arm while trying t hold onto her duffle bag in the other. Finally getting the key out and into the keyhole she, opened the door banging it against the side.
“Honey I’m home!” she bellowed walking inside.
“What? Get the fuck out of town; has Hollywood just graced me with its presence? Yelled Emma while running towards her friend to give her a hug and help her with her bags.
“I don’t know about Hollywood but your best friend is here” replied Belinda relishing in the feeling of being home even if only for a little while.
“Please your as close as I’m ever going to get to Hollywood” Emma said leaning back to take a good look at her friend.
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that” Belinda said quietly as both girls walked further into the apartment
“What was that?” asked her friend not really hearing her
“Let’s just say that it’s not all going to be a break for me while I’m here. I kind of got pushed into doing something while I’m here and I plan on tagging you along with me for some of it”
“Why does it sound like your not too excited about it so I doubt I’m going to be either” Emma asked with a raised eyebrow
“It’s nothing overly bad or anything I swear. Just something I’m doing media wise and then I get to take you to the stuff afterwards”
“Ok hit me with it” Emma said getting her and Belinda a drink
“Ok well this Saturday I’m going to the Grammy’s as Justin’s date and then your coming with us to the after parties” she said all in one breath
Silence was her only response. Emma had stopped with her glass halfway to her mouth, her eyes going wide in shock
“I’m sorry I could have sworn you just said that I was going to the Grammy’s after parties with you” she said waving off her friend
“I did”
“Crazy bitch say what?”
Belinda shook her head at her friend with a laugh “Come on it’s not really that big of a deal, it’s just some parties”
Emma looked at her friend with a critical eye “Ok who are you and what the fuck have you done with my best friend? I would have thought that you would be freaking out about something like this?”
“I’m actually trying not to think about it” she confessed
“About which part. The going as the date of that gorgeous specimen of a man or the the part where you have to try and fit in with everyone?”
“You know I’m not really sure I missed this mind reading part of you or not” Belinda said looking at her friend while tilting her head to the side
“Some say mind reader other say nosey bitch, but I’ll accept either. Now fess up which part bothers you the most?” Emma asked leaning against the counter
“Honestly?”
Emma nodded her head “Honestly no bullshit”
Belinda closed her eyes with a sigh “I don’t think it’s the date part as per say, I mean we are friends and are working together, nothing more you know. I mean yeah he’s hot and a really nice person but it’s just not what we are right now. As for the other thing” she said taking a breath “I …I just don’t feel like I’m going to belong or even be wanted there. All the people there are actually in the music industry or have something to do with it, I don’t. I’m just not sure I’m going to be very comfortable around those people, I’m not comfortable with myself let alone when I’m around other people who are going to judge me” she vented
“Ok first take a breath honey. You try and tell me it’s fine for me to go to the parties, but not for you someone who is proving themselves in what they can do?. You belong there more than some of those hootchie I’m only famous because I had a sex tape…which is bad by the way” she said causing her friend to laugh
“You saw that?” asked Belinda
“It’s not the point I’m making” she said with a laugh “the point is don’t feel like you have to belong or be someone your not, just be yourself and they will love you like I do.”
Belinda looked at her friend in appreciation “Ok I decided, I did miss this part of you”
“Of course you did. Now about the Justin part, did you notice that you said you and Justin aren’t anything yet? Does that mean you may be feeling Mr. Pop star just a little?” she asked
“What? No I didn’t” she said shocked
“Yes my dear friend you did” Emma said with a nod
“Well I didn’t mean to. I’m not anywhere near ready for a relationship or anything right now, or am I even thinking about one. Do I think he is hot? Without a doubt. Do I wonder what he can do with his lips? Only in my dreams” she said causing the two to giggle
“I bet they are some good dreams” Emma said as Belinda stood up to go towards her room.
“Oh you better believe it” she said with a smirk
“Well hey you never know he may think the same thing and not want any strings attached either, pun intended. So maybe those dirty dreams of yours will become reality” Emma suggested
Her only response was the sound of her friend’s boisterous laughter coming from down the hall.
*********
“So you think your going to get anything out of this date of yours?”
Justin turned to look over at his friend Marty who had come over for a few drinks before Justin and Trace had to go to the awards, as they were just waiting on Belinda
“You know are you going to tap that fine piece of ass that you’re taking tonight?” asked Marty with a dirty smirk
“I don’t know man, would I? Hell yeah, but I want to make sure it doesn’t have any strings. Like I say nothing worse than a clingy ass chick” replied Justin while having a swig of beer
“What are we talking about?” asked Trace as he joined the two guys in the kitchen
“Wither Justin can fuck this Belinda chick and not have her follow him around like a lost puppy afterwards” chuckled Marty
Justin looked at the frustration making its way onto Trace’s face. It was true they had gotten close to Belinda while being together on set, but this is how it has always been. Justin, Trace and Marty all had the mantra of love em and then leave them. They all didn’t see the point in bothering to hang around when it always resulted in getting kicked in the balls when they got fully invested in a relationship only have it go to shit.
“Did you find out how long she’s going to be, we are going to have to leave soon if we don’t want to be late” Justin said deciding to change the subject to keep the peace as Trace looked like he was ready to rip Marty a new one.
Trace looked from Marty and over to Justin with a roll of his eyes “Yeah she should be here any minute”
“Ok well I’m going to leave you bitches to it” said Mary as he chugged the rest of his beer “Ya’ll have fun and Justin hope all comes up swimmingly” he said with a laugh as he started to walk out
“Yeah see you later man” said Justin with a slight wave
Trace waited until he was sure Marty had left “So you’re really going to try and fuck her just to have another notch on your bed post?” Trace asked a little disgruntled
Justin got up and put his and Marty’s empty bottles in the trash “so what if I am? How is it any different from the norm?”
Trace looked at Justin slightly taken back “How is it different? Did you forget you have another four fucking months of fucking filming with the girl? And she’s not just some whore throwing herself at you, she’s our friend” he partially shouted at Justin
“Hey you’re the one that asked me the same fucking question Marty just did before” Justin fired back
“That was before we fucking knew her man. Are you that screwed up that you don’t see the wrong in this? Or do you just not fucking give a shit anymore?”
Um…I’m sorry no one answered the door but then some guy let me in when he was on his way out”
The two guys turned to see Belinda standing just inside the door to the kitchen
“Fuck” Trace whispered at realizing Belinda had probably just heard all that was said “I’m going to get the rest of my shit”
Trace walked up to Belinda and gave her a hug “Sorry about that, you look stunning by the way love”
“Thanks Tracey”
Belinda watched Trace walk past her and out of sight before turning to look at Justin “Did I interrupt something?” she asked with a raised eyebrow
“No it was just a disagreement, sorry if you heard any of that” he said while leaning against the counter with a sigh, finally taking a good look at the woman before him. “You look nice, hell I’d even go as far as to say you look sexy Miss Carpenter” he complemented her with a wink.
Belinda looked down at her dress. She had chosen a mid thigh length black dress with a scoop neck “Why thank you Mr. Timberlake, it’s not too much though is it? I wasn’t too sure what was acceptable to wear to this kind of thing”
Justin looked her up and down with a smile “Oh no it’s definitely more than ok”
“You guys ready to go?” bellowed Trace
“I guess that’s our cue to get a move on” Justin said as he put his hand on Belinda’s lower back to guide her to the front of the house
“Ok cool, oh and Justin?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t you think I should have some kind of say in wither or not I want to be another notch on your bed post? Or better yet if I want you on mine?” she asked him with a wink as she left him stunned in the doorway as she walked ahead towards Trace as if she hadn’t said anything at all.
‘Holly shit I knew I liked this girl for a reason, thank you lord’ he thought while looking towards the sky
He turned away from the door to walk towards the waiting car that contained a girl who of which have just giving him the excitement of thinking of the possibilities tonight would hold.
“Oh yeah this Grammy’s is going to be the shit” he said to himself as he entered the car.
