I'm sitting in the limo right now thinking I shouldn't be freaking out over this. I'm just going to look pretty on Justin's arm. I shouldn't have to answer any question or any of that. I think the main thing is why the fuck am I so nervous? I act like I've never had to deal with the media before. Well you are his date for the night! One side of my head says. Ok but you guys are friends and the Justin the world sees and the Justin that you see are rather different and he wouldn't really be mad if I backed out of walking with him I would still be there with him. I didn't even realize we had stopped until Justin said something to me.

"Are you gonna sit here by yourself Tink?" He asks.

"What? Oh I didn't know we were here already." I say

Justin reaches to grab my hand and pull me with him out the car but I don't move. He looks at me for a second and then turns back to Mike.

"Hey Mike could you give us a sec please?"

I see the door close and Justin turns back to me.

"What's the matter Tink? You afraid of the media?" He laughs a little.

"Yes." I answer in a shaky voice but then I shake my head. "I mean no. Justin I'm not sure what I am." I say honestly

I feel him grab both my hands in his. "You don't have to walk with me if you feel uncomfortable. I can ask Tiny to take you inside if you want."

I just look him in his eye for a second. Why the hell am I getting so jumpy? You dork it's cuz even though you've done this a million times with your clients no one was ever really focused on you like that. Going out there on Justin's arm you're gonna be looked at hard.

" I want to walk with you but I'm nervous." I finally admit.

I see Justin trying not to laugh. "Oh I'm glad you think this is funny!" I say snatching my hands away and turning to look out the window.

Justin takes my hands back and forces me to look at him. "I'm sorry ok. It's just that I'm not use to seeing you like this." He says

"Well I'm not use to being the center of attention for the media. I know that when I walk out there with you everybody is gonna be whispering and asking questions and scrutinizing me. I hate that!" I say

"Well who gives a fuck what they think. I think you look beautiful and we both know that you came as my friend and that's it. Don't worry about what they say just hold my hand and stand with me. I'll protect you." He laughs with that cockiness to him.

I roll my eyes. "What makes you think I need to be protected?" I say

He just smiles at me. "Good now just stay that defensive down the carpet." He winks at me and we exit the limo.

I have to admit that he was real smooth with that one. Use the one thing that really annoys me about him and use it to help me out. We make it pass all the press and I realize it wasn't as bad as I thought but hey the papers haven't come out yet so who the hell knows what they really think. Justin has me very close to him so as not to lose me.

"Hey you want something to drink?" He asks me.

"Um yea could you get me a coke?"

"Sure." He turns back to the bar and gets two cokes. "We can save the real drinking for the parties." He smiles.

When we finally get seated he turns to me and pulls my face to look at him.

"I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier today. I don't know why the hell I was acting so needy. I asked you to go some where with me and then I try and stop you from getting stuff done cuz I wanna be selfish and that's not cool."

I look for a second. "It's fine really. I'm sorry for biting your head off. I could have dealt with things a lit better." I admit.

"So no more fighting?" He asks

"No more fighting." I smile.

We turn our attention back to the stage where the show is just starting.

I'm not sure who's party we're at put I know that Justin is having a great time. He won 2 awards tonight and Elisha won one so we are doing some serious celebrating. I'm trying to get Justin to slow down on his drinking because I'm not sure if he is actually drinking moderately or if he is just downing stuff. I know he's had me on this dance floor more than most of the night.

"You staying with me tonight?" He says in my ear over the music.

"What do you mean am I staying with you?" I ask confused.

"I mean are you going to stay in my room with me tonight?" He smiles.

"I'm not sure that's the best idea." I say

I can't really tell if he's drunk or not but I'm sober enough to know that a lot of bad things happen when you've been drinking.

"I'm not going to do anything to you. I just want you there with me tonight. I'll sleep on the floor if you want." He laughs.

I can't help but to laugh at that stupid suggestion.  "You would really sleep on the floor?" I ask.

"Yup I just wanna hang out with you for the rest of the night." He says so simply and yet so sure I don't wanna turn him down.

I just look at him for a moment. "Sure. I'll stay with you." I say and we go right back to dancing.

Mike told us that Elisha and Trace left an hour before us. Which in all honesty didn't surprise me. I was actually surprised by the fact that it took them that long to leave. Even though Justin has his head in my lap I know he's not sleep.

"Did you have fun tonight?" I hear him ask

"Yea I had a great time. I don't need to ask you if you had a good time." I laugh

"It was even better cuz you were there with me to share my wins." He smiles.

"Well I'm glad I could be there for you." I say as the car comes to a stop.

Justin slowly sits up. "You need a piggy back ride into the hotel?" He smiles.

I laugh at that. "No I can walk. Besides I don't know that you are in any condition to carry me with out falling." I say as I get out the car.

"You think I would let you fall?" He asks shocked.

"Not on purpose but yes." I smile and grab his hand.

We make our way up to our floor giggling about nothing in particular. When we step off the elevator I turn to head to my room but seeing as I was holding Justin's hand and he wouldn't let go I was pulled to a stop.

"Where are you going?" He asks confused.

I laugh. "I'm going to my room." I say trying to pull away.

"I thought you said you were going to stay with me tonight?" He pouts.

I laugh again. "I am gonna stay with you. I'm just going to my room to put my pajamas on."

Suddenly Justin picks me up off my feet. "Oh no if I let you go to your room you are gonna fall out on your own bed. I'll give you something to wear." He says taking me to his room.

I couldn't stop the laughing fit I was under. It took me a few minutes before I was finally able to control my fits of giggles and by that time we were in Justin's room.

"You know you could have just said that with out picking me up." I state as I take a seat on his bed.

"I know what I could have done but I did what I wanted and it's done now." He smiles.

I take off my shoes and scoot all the way up in the bed. "Ok so get me something to sleep in." I demand before I start giggling again.

Justin walks over to the closet. "I just said I would get you something to wear so you would come in here. I'm actually gonna make you sleep naked." He smiles.

I smile back. "Well then I'm gonna sleep naked in my own room. " I say heading toward the door.

"OK OK. Seriously, here is a T-shirt and some boxer briefs. I haven't worn those before so no worries." He smiles.

"You are such a dork." I say as I go in the bathroom to change. When I come out Justin is in a pair of basketball shorts and he is already in bed. "Ah don't you look relaxed." I say climbing in the bed.

"Yea I feel pretty good. You wanna watch a little TV?" He asks grabbing the remote.

"Nah but you can go ahead it won't bother me." I say as I curl up under the covers.

I hear him turn the TV back off and then he turns the lights off before he gets under the covers as well. I feel him getting close to me and suddenly I feel his arm around my midsection. I smile before I even begin to say anything.

"What are you doing Randy?"

"I'm getting comfortable. Is that ok?" He asks with the same smile I know he knows I have on my face.

"And that involves holding me?" I ask trying to sound as if it's bothering me.

"Well I just thought that if you could fall asleep on me then holding you wouldn't be so bad."

I just laugh. "Ok but no funny business." I laugh.

"I couldn't do any funny business if I tried." He laughs.

I don't think it took long before I heard Justin breathing deeply in my ear and that's when I was ok enough to fall into a nice sleep of my own. I feel like morning came to soon cuz now I hear the phone ringing and I'm aware of the light coming from the window. I feel Justin let go of me and answer the phone.

"Hello? Oh hey Lish. Yea she's here with me hang on a sec."

He nudges me a little to try and wake me up seeing as he doesn't know I'm awake. I just hold my hand out for the phone and I hear him laugh as he hands it to me and lays back down cuddling up against me again.

"Hello?" I say

"Dare I ask why you're in Justin's room?" She laughs.

"Sure." I laugh "We fucked as soon as we got back here and he put me out like a light!" I laugh harder.

"You're such a liar!" She laughs

"Seriously he just wanted me to stay with him. Finish hanging out you know?" I say

"Yup I know. Justin didn't want to be alone." She laughs "So Trace and I are gonna go grab some lunch you guys should come with."

"Ok let me get him outta bed." I laugh. "We could meet in like an hour and half that good?" I ask looking at the clock to see that it's 1:30 in the afternoon.

"Yea that's good. We can meet in the lobby." She says

We hang up and I look at Justin. "Hey come on let me go and go get in the shower. "I say

"What if I don't want to?" He asks looking at me.

"Our friends want us to have lunch with them." I say.

"I'll go if you take a shower with me." He wiggles his eyebrows.

I laugh at him. "How bout I wait till you're done and dressed and you can come down to my room with me and watch me prance around in my underwear for a while." I laugh

"Some baby blue ones?" He says while getting out the bed.

I laugh at him. " You are such a flirty fucker." I say throwing a pillow at him.

"Seriously though you wanna wait till I'm done? I won't be long. You can even pick out something for me to wear." He says heading toward the bathroom.

"Yea I'll wait, but don't take all day in there other wise you're gonna come out and I'll be gone." I say.

"Yea Aight." He says as he walks in the bathroom.

I lay back down for a bit before I finally decide to get up and see what clothes Justin has with him. I feel like a girlfriend. I don't even know why I agreed to do this. I'll just wait till he comes out and help him pick something out. As I go to get back in the bed I hear a knock at the door. I figure it's probably Trace cuz we have special security keys to get on this floor.

Without thinking I just flung the door open and suddenly I hear my heart thumping in my ears. Standing in front of me is none other than Cameron Diaz. Why is this happening to me? I mean sure Justin and I didn't do anything, but if I was her right now and I saw this scene I would be ready to kick some ass. She finally speaks.

"Oh I'm so sorry. They told me at the front desk that this was Justin's room." She smiles. "But maybe you can help me. I know they don't let any body that's not working with him on this floor so could you tell me what room he's in?" She asks so nicely

However before I even have the chance to open my mouth I hear his voice. "Tink I know I didn't take that long so quit playing." He says as he walks into the front room.

Just as quickly as Cameron's smile was on her face it was gone. I turn to see Justin standing in just his towel seeing as he just got out the shower. I didn't even hear it go off. I feel stuck and I know I shouldn't be here right now but I can't get in my room with out my key and my key is in the bedroom and I know that if I go back there and grab my stuff this whole thing is going to look even worse.

"Um I'm just gonna get my stuff and go." I say quickly ducking out the room and grabbing all my stuff as quick as I can. I didn't hear a sound out of the other room. When I came back in there Justin and Cam are still standing in the same spots they were in when I left. I didn't even say anything I just dashed right out and didn't even bother looking at either of them even though I could feel Cam's eyes burning a hole in my neck.
