BLS ~ Permanent Marker #3 (You Certainly Know You're Beautiful)

"I always love this place!" Chaz yelled. He threw his hand in the air happily, giving a cheeky grin at me.

I rolled my eyes in confusion. "What the hell is this place?"

Chaz clasped his hands. "Avon-" He broke off for a moment. "Theatre."

My eyes widened in evident surprise. "You've got to be kidding me!"

He merely shrugged.

"Chaz.." I looked around, checking out. "It's-" I covered my mouth in a slight disbelief as if my tears began to show. "Amazing."

He nodded his head solemnly. "Yeah." He replied. "Have waited for years for this day to come, Alyssa Bieber?"

I smacked him on the arm. "Shut up. You're annoying."

"Oh, you're gonna regret it. Just wait and I'll make you crazy in love with me." He winked teasingly.

"No you won't." I replied, nudging him in the arm.

Chaz shrugged slightly. "Who knows, Babe?" He stated.

"Stop calling me like that, Chaz. I've told you that before and I'm going to kill you. That's annoying, unless I'm your girlfriend. But the fact is I barely know you but you call me with that flirtatious nickname." I stated, shaking my head and feeling my cheeks burn the tiniest bit with a blush.

"Okay.. sorry then. Have I told you it's just funny to make fun of you?"

I nodded.

"Allie, listen. I know that we've just met and we haven't got to know wach other. But since I don't have any sisters nor brothers, I hope you would be my sister. I just-"

"I know how it feels." I said quickly, cutting across him. "And me too, I consider you as my brother."

"Well-" Chaz stopped for a second and looking down at his shoes. "Can I get a hug from you?"

I let out a giggle. "Why not?"

This conversation's awkward though. But I didn't lie. I wanted to consider him as my brother since I don't have any brothers either. And gave him a hug wasn't a bad idea. So I stepped towards him and opened my arms widely, giving him a friendly hug.

"Thanks Allie." Chaz said as his hands slowly went down to my waist.

"Since when you call me 'Allie'?"

Chaz chuckled. "Since you told me to stop calling you 'Babe'."

I broke apart and stared at him with a huge smile, before suddenly, I felt myself turned bright pink and to avoid his gaze I looked away, clearing my throat awkwardly.

"Anyway, your present is waiting outside." He jabbed a finger through my shoulder.

I turned back and furrowed my eyebrows in a slight confusion. "Oh, let's meet 'my present' then." I raised an eyebrow.

"Aight." I heard Chaz's steps being closer to me and suddenly Chaz's hand grabbed mine and then he leaded me to walk outside in unison.

Once we got outside, there was nothing but a person in his gray hoodie. I cleared my throat awkwardly and gave Chaz a who-the-hell-is-he look.

He merely shrugged and raised his eyebrows at me, unclasping his hand and walked towards the guy in gray hoodie. "Hey buddy." Chaz called in a high-toned voice and gave a hug to that mysterious guy. He placed his hands on the guy's shoulders and smiled widely.

The guy turned around and a very-very-familiar-good-looking-and-sexy-face began to show up.

I felt my jaw dropped and hit the ground. My eyes opened widely in utter disbelief as the guy sent me a small grin. 'I know I'm sleeping and having an amazing dream'. This must be the best dream ever and I didn't want to wake up.

"Hey." The guy greeted me in his raspy voice.

I ran a hand through the edge of my hair and replied shyly. "Hi.. Justin Bieber."


***



Justin took a seat right next to Alyssa while Chaz sat across her. She kept avoiding Justin's gaze but he'd known it. He could tell from the way she smiled, she was blushing every time she talked to Justin and that made her looked tenfold prettier.

"So, how's your days in Chaz's house. I hope Chaz didn't bit you whatsoever." Justin stated and did his best not to laugh.

Chaz gave him a strange look. "What the fuck, dude?"

Justin smacked him on the arm and smirking. "Call down, Somers."

Alyssa blushed in her laugh. "Well.. Justin Bieber, I'm.."

"Justin... Just call me Justin. Okay?"

"Dude, she's just too shocked about what's going on. She meets the teen pop phenomenon, the most famous fucking teenager in the entire goddamn world, the heartthrob that all the girls scream over, the one who-"

"Chaz!" Alyssa yelled at him. "Just.. Shut up." She murmured under her heavy breath, but then she blushed.

Justin laughed hard. "You're blushing that much, huh?" He grinned widely at her. "It's cute, though."

She laughed slightly. "Thanks?"

"That's true, I'm not bullshitting." Justin assured her.

She blushed deeper, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Chaz put his hand on his hips and cocked his head at Justin, raising his eyebrows questioningly. "Trying to flirt her, huh? Trust me dude, I've tried and-" He cleared his throat. "I'm failed." He muttered.

Justin laughed loudly, joined by the chorus of Alyssa's giggle. "But i'm trying and it works."

There was a pause.

Alyssa froze, feeling complete and utter shock take over her, but she knew she'd blushed. "Wait.. what?" She asked loudly after a moment of silence.

Chaz placed his hand around Alyssa's waist and winked at her. "He's flirting on you, babe." He whispered. "Back off dude, she's mine." His arms were shaking as he laughed loudly.

Alyssa pushed him away from her, rolling her eyes and groaning loudly in annoyance. "Shut uppp." She said, playfully smacking him on the arm.

"Is Chaz your boyfriend, Alyssa? Are you two dating?" Justin asked jokingly.

Alyssa groaned loudly again. "Oh my gosh! That's not even funny!"

Chaz and Justin started laughing.

She began massaging her forehead, closing his eyes as she did so. "Can you two just stop? That's annoying. I'm serious."

"I like you too babe." Chaz teased.

Alyssa gave Chaz a pointed look angrily. "What the heck?"

"I like you more babe." Chaz leaned towards Alyssa to kiss her on her cheek but She quickly pushed him away. He just laughed louder. "Chaz! Just stop. It is not even funny."

Justin furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. "Buddie, stop it. Done with the joke."

Chaz merely looked at him before he threw his hands away and shrugged. "Fine. End of story." He yelled. "And Alyssa, you can hate me now."

Alyssa tilted her head and shook it, giving Chaz a huge smile. "I know you were joking. So, no, I won't hate you for a stupid reason."

Chaz slung his hand onto her shoulder and smiled widely. "Hehe, thanks cutie."

Alyssa merely looked at her food, feeling a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.

Justin cleared his throat loudly, pretending to look away somewhere. A random feeling came across his mind as he turned to look at Chaz and Alyssa and saw them hugging each other with amusement. He faked a small smile as the two broke apart.

And suddenly, a loud ringing penetrated the air. Chaz's phone was ringing.

"I'll be back in seconds." He said before he pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Alyssa and Justin exchanged looks and then nodded in unison. Chaz left the two others to the quiet place so that he could answer the call.

There was an awkward moment as Chaz'd left between Justin and Alyssa.

"Nice to meet you, Alyssa." Justin began, smiling widely.

Alyssa gave a small grin. "You too." She replied.

"So, tell me. Are you going to spend this semester in Stratford High School?"

She shrugged. "Actually, these two semesters. I'm staying here for a year." Alyssa stated.

"Cool." He replied simply.

And again a sound of phone going off loudly. Alyssa felt something vibrated as the sound went louder. She reached her phone and flipped it open. He eyebrows furrowed as she checked the front screen of her cellphone. Why did this person call her?

"Who's that?"

She looked up and shrugged. Her eyebrows furrowed even further. "Chaz." She replied as she unlocked the phone, answering the call and pressing the phone to her ear. "Chaz?" She asked.

"Alyssa?" His voice came. "Listen, I gotta pick my mom up at the airport now. Sorry Al, is it okay?"

She glanced up at Justin and nodded. "Yeah Chaz, I'm okay." She stated.

"Justin will drive you home. I'll ask him."

Alyssa nodded in respon, though she knew Chaz couldn't see her. "Thank you. But, I can ask him."

"Okay Al.. Sorry again. See you at home."

"Bye." Alyssa replied.

Pulling the phone away from her ear, she sighed. Staring down at it and pressing the 'end' button. She snapped the phone shut. She sat there for a moment of silence, doing nothing but staring at the phone nervously.

"What did he say?" Justin asked.

Alyssa tried not to blush. She had to ask Justin but since they just met, it's kinda weird to ask him to drive her home now. She didn't use to talk to boys much, moreover asked a guy to drive her home in their first meeting.

"Al?"

Alyssa looked up at Justin. She cleared her throat before she began saying. "Chaz is going to the airport to pick his mom up."

"Yea?"

"Since I'm new here and don't know my way back, can you drive me home?" I asked awkwardly.

Her smile grew widely. "Sure. Why not?"

Alyssa laughed slightly in embarrassment. "Thanks."

"With a proviso."

"What is it?"

He folded his arms in front of his chest and looked away to the right, grinning. "We're staying here until I get bored."

"We're what?" Alyssa asked in alarm.

Justin merely shrugged. "Staying here, beautiful." He stated simply.

Alyssa blushed, looking down at her fingernails and examining them shyly, a rouge tinge creeping up her cheeks. "Okay and.. thanks." She said quietly.

And here they are, laughing their asses off like complete idiots.


***



Justin stopped his car slowly, turning his head to look at me in the passenger seat next to him. A wide smile spread across his good-looking face. His hazel eyes bored into mine. I'd been spending the whole day with him, since Chaz left us at Avon Theater, and now he'd driven me home. I wondered idly what time was it, but my mind was for the most part focused entirely on one thing, the moment when Justin had called me beautiful.

I just couldn't seem get it out of my head.

Regardless, it was practically driving me insane.

I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Thanks, Justin." I stated quietly.

I stared at Justin for a moment. He stared back at me for a moment in silence.

"You know? You are beautiful."

I could do nothing but stare at him in shock. This is what I'd been thinking. He'd called me beautiful for the second time. It seemed completely and unlike Justin to say something like that in such a non-flirty, genuine way.

And suddenly, he leaned forward and holding my face in his hand. His lips is inches away from mine. And so, without really thinking about anything else at the moment, I reached my hand up, wrapped my fingers around the side of his neck and leaned up towards him. We both closed our eyes.

"Baby!" Someone outside the car yelled loudly.

I quickly broke apart before my lips would press against him. He cleared his throat awkwardly and turned to look straight at the street.

I started massaging my forehead. Thank God, whoever that yelled, i owed him a lot.

And suddenly a guy passed the street in front of Justin's car and yelled loudly. "Caitlin."

Justin's hand reached up and immediately shut off the overhead light, plunging the two of us into complete darkness.

"Justin.." I whispered, glancing over at him and I could see him stared at the guy. His face was solemn with the merest anger.

I looked forwards again, directing my gaze back towards the couple in the distance. A brunette girl appeared in a black short shorts and dark blue tank-top. She leaned forwards and placed one hand lightly on the back of the guy's neck, standing up on her tiptoes and placing her lips firmly against his, kissing him passionately.

He reached up rand holding her face in his hand, the other hand was slid onto her waist and kissed her back. They broke apart and the boy slung his arm onto her shoulder, they began walking downwards the street and disappeared.

I trailed off, letting my eyes slide to the right until they landed on the figure of Justin. His whole body looked like it had stiffenef and his jaw was set. And i could tell, he was hurt. Justin Bieber was hurt.

Justin turned to look at me, the faintest trace of surprise etched across his face.

I furrowed my eyebrows and gave him a look of the merest confusion. "Who the hell were they?"

He merely stared at me.

"Justin?"

"She was-" He shook his head. "Caitlin."

I stared at him blankly, unsure of what exactly what I should say. I didn't even know who the fuck Caitlin was! "Who.. Who's Caitlin?"

He didn't respond to my question.

"Well-" I began awkwardly, swallowing. "Umm.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine." He replied, shaking his head. "I don't care. I mean.. She's just my crush."

Suddenly I felt a strange sadness seem to take over me, and I stared down at my hands, twisting them awkwardly in my lap.

"Look-" He cut off to clear his throat. "Alyssa, It's fine. I know she has a boyfriend." He finished his sentence.

I whipped my head to the left to stare at him. I closed my eyes and sighed. But before I could open my eyes, I felt Justin's lips crashing down onto mine and I felt him kiss me fiercely, running one hand along my waist and the other through my hair. I was in shock but all I wanted to do was feel his lips against mine. I pressed my lips firmly back against his, feeling some strange sort of happiness course through me, feeling as if I had just kissed soft velvet.

I breathed in a scent of his cologne then, filling my entire nostrills with it and suddenly feeling rush of passion. Next thing I knew we were in an intense make-out session.

After what seemed like hours, we broke apart, gasping for air. I breathed rapidly as my chest rose and fell quickly. And then I opened the car's door and running inside Chaz's house. I couldn't even think about what happened to Justin and me.
