< Chapter 70: Tensions >

♥ Phoebe’s POV: ♥

“Can you go get the popcorn?” I asked Noah the next morning, looking through a couple of movies we could watch. “I’ll get the movie started.”

“Okay sure. It’s in the microwave, right?” he asked, just as a popping sound was heard from the kitchen, causing Noah to laugh. “There’s my answer.”

I laughed with him, playfully rolling my eyes before disappearing into the bathroom for a quick pee. After I was done and my hands were washed, I stepped outside my bathroom and the doorbell rang almost immediately. I let out a soft sigh, thinking it was either Jamie, Justin, Ryan, Chaz or someone along those lines. Don’t get me wrong, though, I love all of my besties to death but Noah and I were going to just cuddle here on the couch and watch a movie and it was one of those simple dates I was really looking forward to. But oh well, having them join us is no biggie.

“I’ll get it!” I called out to Noah, who was still shuffling around in the kitchen. I walked over towards the front door and slid the door open, my jaw almost dropping to the floor when I saw the last person I thought I’d ever see at a time like this.

“Hey, is Justin here?” she played nervously with her fingers.

“What the fuck are you doing here, Sel?” I snapped, and she looked taken aback for a second.

“Is everything okay?” Selena asked, eyeing me carefully.

Jesus help me.

“What, you think I’ll be nice to a bitch like you?” I scoffed.

“What? Why are you all bitchy to me all of a sudden?” she asked in confusion.

“Are you really that oblivious to your actions? You think everything should go your way and people around you should accept it? You thought wrong, sweetie,” I gave her a bitter smile.

“Phoebe, I don’t understand. You’re a great friend of mine and I just wanted to see if Justin was here because he wasn’t at his place. Why are you being so mean all of a sudden?” she asked.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in L.A or something?” I muttered.

“I landed this morning.”

“Oh,” I simply replied, holding the door with my right hand. “Well see you around,” I added, making a swift movement to close the door but Selena caught it before it could shut completely.

“Are you on your period or something?” she questioned.

“No, why the fuck would you ask me that?” I frowned, crossing my arms.

“You seem pretty mad.”

“I’m only mad at you.”

“But why?”

“Because you’re a bitch.”

Selena paused, licking her lips and crossing her arms as well before continuing, “Why am I a bitch?”

“You’re pathetic too.”

“Now you’re just throwing insults.”

“No, just saying what’s true. You’re pathetic because you don’t realize that you’re a bitch.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be Justin’s best friend? Why are you insulting his girlfriend?” she rolled her eyes.

I froze, my eyes widening and I shot daggers through my stare. “You are not his girlfriend,” I growled.

“Oh yes I am. He knows it too.”

“It’s funny how stupid you look right now because he was just about to break up with you a while ago,” I chuckled evilly.

“No he wasn’t.”

“Oh my god, stop doing that.”

“Doing what?”

“Arguing like a five year old.”

“What do you want from me?”

“To leave Justin and Jamie alone. Don’t you think Ryan, Chaz and I all pick up on the little stunt you’re trying to pull? You were taking advantage of Justin ever since he lost his memory and tearing him from ever being in a relationship with the girl he truly loves. And you’re more of a bitch for doing it because you specifically knew we couldn’t really say anything unless we wanted him to hate us. Just back off. What you and him had is over. Move aside and make room for Justin and Jamie, ok? Jamie and I loved you as a friend but right now I don’t think we can consider you one anymore,” I explained to her.

“You think I’m stupid? I obviously know you guys are aware of what I’m doing. But this is just fate giving me a chance. Justin and I belong together and I don’t have anything against Jamie. They’re cuter as best friends anyway, not as lovers,” she said stubbornly.

“They’re having a baby together, Selena. Get that through your head! Plus, he doesn’t love you anymore. Your whole fate thing is total bullshit, wanna know why?”

“Why?” she growled.

“They’re together… Again. Fate brought them back together. He may have lost his memory but his feelings for Jamie are still there. It’s not like he completely forgot who he is, he just forgot what happened the past few months, including the pregnancy,” I spoke with an annoyed tone evident in my voice.

“So is he with Jamie right now? At her house?” she asked, ignoring what I just said.

God she’s annoying.

“No,” I lied. Since Jamie’s parents left on a business trip for a while, her and Justin are probably alone right now and I want them to have as much time alone as possible because Justin’s memory might start to come back if he spends enough time with Jamie. I can’t just tell Selena they’re hanging out right now so she could go and ruin everything like she’s been doing ever since the accident. “He’s probably with Ryan.”

“Thanks,” she muttered under her breath before turning around and walking off my front porch.

“Have a terrible day,” I smirked, before closing the door shut and trying to forget what just happened so I could worry about better things.

Like enjoying my time with Noah.

♥ Jamie’s POV: ♥

I woke up, cuddled to the crook of Justin’s neck. Our two bodies were pressed up against each other, radiating warmth and making me feel cozy and relaxed. I felt myself let out a small smile as I wrapped one arm around Justin’s waist, urging closer towards him until my baby bump pressed against his stomach. He shifted slightly and, half awake, wrapped both arms around me and cuddling into me again. My smile widened and I leaned close, kissing his cheek.

I still can’t believe what happened last night. To Justin, it felt like sex with me for the very first time. But, to be completely honest, it felt like that for me too. Not because I’ve forgotten about the other times we’ve done it or something like that, but because each time with him is so magical that it almost feels like the first time.

I just really, really hope he gets his memory back. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that instead of deciding to have Justin die in that accident, God let him live. Sure, it’s with a minor amnesia, but at least he’s still alive, right? Yet lately, I’ve been missing the old him. The one that remembers giving me the promise ring. The one that learned from our arguments when I did as well. The one that remembers our first date. The one that remembers even getting me pregnant in the first place. And the one that helped me get through when we told our family, friends, and the Beliebers about our baby.

I also miss the one that reminded me how much he loves me every single day. Though I can’t say some dumb memory loss is going to stop him from doing that anyway. I just miss that Justin because this one can’t seem to remember all we’ve been through. It almost feels like our relationship has been thrown into the trash and here I am, chasing after it and throwing myself in the trash as well to try to recover our relationship back. But although I desperately wish he’d remember—even though we don’t necessarily know if he ever really will—I still refuse to push him into doing so. I’m not going to stress him out about this, the poor boy still barely even knows what’s going on. I’m planning on dropping a few hints here and there, but I’m not going to push him too far. He’ll remember when his brain is ready. I just hope it does happen, and that he won’t permanently stay like this.

“Jamie?” a hoarse voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I immediately locked eyes with Justin, who looked wide awake by now. That’s when I realized I was so deep in thought, I didn’t even realize he woke up. He was probably just staring at me this entire time, waiting for me to snap out of la la land.

“Hey, good morning,” I smiled lightly at him, “I didn’t even notice you woke up.”

He let out a soft chuckle, “I can tell.”

I began to laugh along with him and then I reached my hand out to touch his bare chest, rubbing my fingers as if to lightly massage his abs with them. Justin stopped laughing and looked down at my hand. I think something registered in his brain and he suddenly remembered what we did last night and that we were both practically pressed up against each other’s naked bodies. His eyes widened a little and he looked away, his cheeks reddening as he blushed deeply.

I slid closer to him, grabbing his cheeks with both hands and leaning in, pressing my lips into his softly. I felt him instantly kiss back as we moved our lips together slowly. I began to lick his bottom lip with my tongue, causing him to let out a satisfied moan. My lips twisted into a small smirk and I pulled away to breathe for a few seconds, feeling his chest rise and fall with uneven breathing patterns as he stared at me breathlessly.

“How do you do that?” he whispered softly.

My eyebrows twisted in confusion, “Do what?”

“Nothing,” he dismissed the subject, tearing his gaze away from me.

“What? No, just tell me,” I prompted.

“Never mind,” he shook his head, pecking my lips.

“C’mon, doofus, tell me,” I grinned. He gave me a look before letting out a small laugh.

“I don’t know… I guess… You make me feel a certain way…” he confessed shyly.

You have no idea how cute he looks right now.

“A certain way how?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” he repeated.

“What do you mean you don’t know?”

“It’s hard to explain… But it’s a good feeling… I kinda like it,” he smiled lightly at me, sending butterflies to the pit of my stomach.

“And I kinda like you,” I smirked, “Actually, scratch that. I love you.”

“I love you too,” his smile was abnormally large now.

He pushed me back onto the bed and climbed on top of me, caressing my belly. He leaned down and began to place small kisses and whispering things to the baby and it made me feel so relaxed. After a while, he trailed kisses up my chest and neck until he reached my ear.

“You know… There’s one thing I learned from last night,” he whispered seductively.

“L-Like what?” I shivered due to how sexy his voice sounded.

“Your moans are sexy as fuck,” he grinned, kissing the side of my neck. I instantly blushed a deep red and froze on the bed as I took in the feel of his lips on my neck. He began to suck and nip on the skin and I closed my eyes, savoring the moment.

He moved slowly until he found my soft spot, where he began to kiss it and lick it as much as he pleased. When he pressed his lips against it and began to suck, I couldn’t help but let out a loud moan, causing Justin to pull away.

“Shit,” he smirked, “There it is. How sexy is that?”

I blushed even deeper as he leaned towards me so that our lips hovered. “It’s such a turn on, Jamie. Why do you do this to me?” he whispered before crashing our lips together. I felt his hands wander my body and trail down from my waist down to my legs. He grabbed both sides and began to open my legs wide so that I was in the perfect position to give him a little more fun.
