I believe I don't have to say how I felt while Mat and I were kissing. You all know that I've got butterflies in my stomach and I knew how to fly then. So let me tell you what happened next.
"I love you", I said first after pulling away from the kiss.
Mat just hugged me tight and said "I love you too."
And then we started speed talking. Mat started it!
"So we share this place now?"
"Yes, I guess.. we do."
"It gotta has a name then."
"It already has a name."
"Yeah? What's it?"
"Candyland"
"What? Why?"
"'Cause candy is my friend?"
"Ha, you're good. It rhymes."
"I know, thanks."
Then there was a silence for a minute or so.
"I gotta call Mom", Mat broke it.
"Why?"
"I call Mom, tell her we gotta be having dinner with your mother and granny tonight, she calls your Mom and invites you all, then at dinner we tell them."
"Clever."
"Thanks", he put that playful look of his and I hated that.
"Aaah, come on!"
"What?"
"The look...change it!"
"Haha, okay."
Then he called his mother and told her out families are having dinner together tonight. She was confused, I bet, but went with it. And just 10 minutes later my phone rang.
"Sup, Mom?", I said obviously sounding happy.
"Wow, I called you half an hour earlier and there was such sadness in your voice."
"I know."
"You're a strange kid."
"I know."
"Hah, anyway Mat's Mom just called that we're having dinner tonight at their place. Apperantly, Mat had called to tell her leaving the details."
"Yeah, okay. I'll be there."
"What you mean you'll be there?"
"I'll come over to get some clothes and I'll come to Nadies' again. I can, can't I?"
"Ooohh, okay."
"Bye, Mom."
"Bye, take care."
I looked at Mat and smiled. So we were going to appear there together and everyone will get confused. It was a good plan...like all my plans were.
When I went to get some clothes from home, Mom wasn't there. And Mat also went to his place. Then we met at Nadie's place and when we told her she freaked out, she jumped and screamed. She also trethened Mat that if he hurts me she's gonna trace him for eternity and take him to hell. But Nadie can actually do that for real!
Anyway, in the evening Mat and I were getting a little late. Our phones were ringing every minute, but we couldn't bother to pick up. When we got to Mat's house we were hand in hand. Entering the dining room like that turned out to be a funny moment, not confusing as we were planning it. His mother saw our hands on the instant and said;
"Is it what I think it is?"
"What? What do you mean?", my Mom, on the hand, didn't notice anything.
"Yes, Mom, it is.", Mat simply said and then his mother stood and came to hug me.
Everyone else seemed confused as hell! But after hugging me Mat's Mom, whose name by the way was Nancy, turned and said:
"Boyfriend and girlfriend.", pointing first at Mat and then at me.
All the others cheered, hugged me and Mat and the rest of the evening was fun. We talked about a lot of things. Mat and I went to his room to spend some time together. I'd actually been there just once, so it was interesting. I was looking through his stuff, which got him pretty bothered. But then we just kissed, hugged and all that stuff boyfriends and girlfriends do. And that night I went to bed happy.
It's been almost 2 weeks. I was extremely happy having Mat by my side. He was like the boyfriend every girls dreams to have. He was really nice and sweet to me, maybe overprotective at times...but hey, what's wrong with that?
Anyway, it was Friday....and as I've already told you I loved Fridays! And of course, my day started ah-mazing, then kept on getting even more and more ah-mazing.
I woke up in Mat's arms. He stayed the night with me. It was actually the first time he was doing this and we both were really thankful to our parents for trusting us. But that's not important. What matters is the feeling waking up next to the one you love.
When I opened my eyes I looked up to him and saw that he was already awake.
"How long have you been awake?", I said sleepy.
"For about an hour now."
"You're nuts! Why didn't you wake me up?"
"How can I wake up an angel?", he said and then kissed me.
About ten minutes passed and we had to get up and get ready for school. "I could have stayed like this forever. Stuupid school, I hate you." I was thinking while brushing my teeth.
In school everything was going alright. Actually it was going great! I got my results from the Spanish exam and I'd scored 100%! All classes were great fun and I got to have a real laugh with Nadie in Sports.
What I didn't know then was that the surprises for the day weren't over yet.
The last bell for the week rang and I rushed out of the classroom with Mat, Nadie and Kate. I actually started running down the stairs so fast that Mat failed to catch me. I was really really happy that day!!! Finally, Mat cought me just when I was about to get out of the school.
"Oookay, I really got to practise!"
"Haha, I'm a beast, right?", I said laughing out loud.
"Yeah, yeah, my beast."
We were walking out of school, the others had also cought up with my running. Mat and Kate started talking about the homework for Monday, and I tried to cut them off.
"Guysss, come on! It's Friday, we have 2 days off and you're talking about...." but just then I cut myself off.
What I saw just couldn't have been real! But it was...and it took me about a minute to believe my eyes. My mouth has dropped open, I've also had dropped my school bag, my keys, my phone, everything I was holding in my hands.
Across the street was parked a black Range Rover and Justin Bieber was standing right in front of it. "What theeeeee? You're dreaming! You gotta be! OMGaash, is that for real???" In the next moment I was running in his direction, he saw me and smiled. Justin Bieber smiled at me!!! And when I reached him he hugged me and I hugged him back!
Millions of thoughts were crossing my mind! There was I hugging Justin Bieber, the boy who I looked up to, the boy whose music helped me through hard moments, whose music helped me to fight for my dreams. How was I gonna tell him everything I wanted in the way I wanted? I couldn't find my words, I couldn't find my thoughts, everything was really messed up and yet felt in place.
I was just hugging him, he was just hugging me and I could feel he was smiling, which bothered me a little. Wait, why? I don't know. The important part was that he was there. Nothing else mattered.
When I decided I'd pull away and talk to him, Mat coughed from behind. I thought "Oh, I swear if he gets jealous I'll send Chuck Norris after him!" but I turned and smiled at him. Then back at Justin, who was still smiling.
"Are you real or just an illusion because I wanted to meet you so badly that I'm going insane now just to pretend I'm hugging you but it was just the air I was hugging seconds ago.", I asked almost forgetting to breathe.
"Wow, you're really fast.", he laughed "and no, I'm not an illusion, you're perfectly sane."
"So best day of my life. Nothing sane about that, but why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you come?", he seemed confused, but so was I.
"I saw the video. Your story is amazing, I was so happy I helped you through so much that I just got to see you. Plus I'm an angel, you know..gotta make people's wishes come true.", he let out a laugh again.
"Haha, you are an angel.", I gave him my biggest smile ever. And then Mat coughed again. "Uum, Justin..that's Mat, my boyfriend, Nadie, my best friend and Kate, most random person ever."
"Nice to meet you all, guys. And I hope Mat, you won't get jealous or anything, I don't have such thoughts about your cute girl here.", Justin said to Mat.
"No, it's okay. She wanted to meet you, it's ok by me.", I could see there was something wrong with Mat's look but I couldn't bother starting drama. Well..Justin kind of did.
"So, I'm staying for 2 weeks, maybe more. I need a rest and I find your city a cool place. Your whole country is amazing. And there won't be groups of paparazzi following every move of mine. And I'll get to spend some time with you, help you more maybe."
Now that was AH-MAZING!!! I was so happy I hugged him again. Mat, on the other hand, wasn't so happy but didn't say anything.
"Where are you staying?", Mat asked.
"Mat there's only one hotel in the town. What's with the stupid question?", I said a little rude maybe, but I didn't mean to sound like that.
"Don't fight you two, please. But yeah, I'm staying there."
Justin was so sweet! I mean, trying to have the situation all cool and trying not to start fights between me and Mat.
"Okay, so let me drive you all.", finally Justin broke an awkward silence that has set in for a few minutes.
"Yeah, since you're the one with the car.", everyone laughed at my joke, but to tell you the truth, I didn't find it so funny.
Anyway, Justin drove us. First, we dropped off Kate. Then as we were on the way to drop Nadie off, it occured to my mind Mat and I had had plans but since Justin was there I couldn't just leave him wandering around the city all alone.
"Mat, umm, about our plans for today..."
"What about them?", he knew what I was about to say but still sounded surprised.
"We have to cancel them. I gotta show Justin the town and stuff. I can't leave him alone on his first day here.", I had this apologetic look on my face while saying it and I really was sorry.
"Right, whatever."
"Fuck, why are you so mean? I didn't do anything!!! Why do you have to be such a dumbass, Mat?" that was only crossing my mind, I didn't say it out loud.
We reached Nadie's location. We hugged, kissed on the cheeks and she was about to go out when Mat said he was going too.
"But you don't live here.", I tried to make him stay. I didn't want him to feel like...well, the way he was.
"Whatever, I'll walk home."
"Yeah, okay", I said looking down, thinking to myself "Thanks a lot Mat. Fyi that hurt."
Mat went out of the car without giving me a kiss, without saying anything more.
"Is everything ok?", Justin asked holding my hand.
"I wish I knew. He's acting so weird, he's jealous and he shouldn't be."
"It will be fine, I promise.", he smiled and then asked "So, where are you taking me today?"
"Okay, let's first go to my place so I change and then we'll walk around town and have fun."
We drove to my apartment and to be honest, when Justin entered my room it was a bit awkward. Posters of him were on my walls..well, not everywhere. I had Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Johnny Depp's ones and many others, but there were like 10 just of Justin. But I guess it didn't bother the real Justin because he just smiled and let out another joke.
"Great collection of me you got there."
"Cute, really cute!", I laughed at what he said.
"Oh, you play the guitar?", Justin asked in amazement when he saw my guitar.
"Um, I wish I played."
Then Justin got it and started playing something really nice. Then when I sat next to him, he faced me and started singing. I didn't know the song, it was probably something he wrote, I don't know, but it was really nice. After that I went to the bathroom and changed into my favourite denim shorts and a T-shirt because it was really hot outside.
When I got back to my room I cought Justin reading my diary and somehow didn't feel mat at him or anything. I just smiled. I was ok with the fact him reading my best friend.
"So, you named your diary after me or is it another Justin?", he asked playfully.
"I HATE PLAYFUL LOOKS!" was the first thing to come to my mind but I didn't really mind his.
"Yeah, I did. I felt you close to me."
"That's nice. And btw shouldn't you be freaking out about me reading this?", he said showing me the diary like I didn't see it when I entered.
"That's what I was asking myself. I don't know, I'm ok with that. Anyway, let's go."
First I showed him where to buy the most amazing ice-cream ever. I was an ice-cream lover, what can I say? Then we walked around, I showed him the main places where he could have fun and we talked about him, about my dream, about everything. Then his phone rang and he talked for about 5 minutes.
"So, who was it or is it a top secret that I should not know?", I asked because it was scratching me, I wanted to know who he talked to so badly.
"It was Scooter. He talked to check where I was and when I was going back to the hotel."
"He is here?", I was a bit surprised and I shouldn't. I mean of course Scooter would be there with Justin.
"Yeah, and my Mom's here too, and Kenny. We never leave without Kenny and he's a lover when it comes to travelling."
"Haha, me too. But I've only travelled around Bulgaria."
The rest of the day was great fun. We talked, we laughed a lot and did silly things. I guess..Justin and I were friends and the feeling was awesome. And we also came to the desicion tonight we should all have dinner together: my family, his Mom, Scooter and Kenny. I was really looking forward to it, knowing that it would be one of my best evenings ever.
The best part of all, though, was meeting Justin. I really felt blessed. And Justin was really nice and we had great times, considering we knew each other just for a day then. I turned out to be right he was amazing and that we could be great friends.
