"Come on!" Justin said, grabbing Britney's wrist and running as soon as he heard her say 'with Lynn'. "Eager, Justin?" Britney teased. "Well, yeah, I'm having a friend over." Justin said, not getting what she was implying. Britney rolled her eyes and said, "Nice car." "Yeah, it's Paul's. My stepdad's." Justin added, seeing the look on her face. Britney nodded and Justin opened the door for her. Britney stepped in the back seat of the car, and Justin followed. "Where's your mama?" asked Britney. "Oh, she's a slowpoke, she's probably gonna be here soon." Justin replied, peering out of the window. Britney nodded again.
"So, what's with that Jake guy?" asked Justin, curious as to why Britney's mom didn't seem to want Britney staying there. "He's in college and he has a lot of friends over all the time, and when I stay there I don't really get a good sleep. And my mama doesn't trust the people he hangs out with." Britney replied. "Oh. Why does she send you to him? Can't she just get another person to watch you?" Justin asked. "Well, we don't really have a lot of money, and he's the best person we could afford." Britney said, biting her lip and looking down at her knees. "Well, I'm sure that my mama would watch you for free." Justin said, seeing an opportunity. "Really?" asked Britney, excited at the prospect. "Yeah, I could ask her tonight." Justin said. "Cool." Britney replied, smiling and biting her lip.
"Don't bite your lip when you smile." Justin said. "Why?" Britney asked, her smile fading. "Because you have a really pretty smile, and when you bite your lip, you don't show your teeth." Justin explained, looking at her as she smiled again, this time without biting her lip. Mental note: never bite my lip when I smile. Justin and Britney stared at each other for a few minutes and started laughing.
"Didn't we promise each other we wouldn't stare?" Justin asked, still laughing. "No, we promised we wouldn't secretly stare." Britney said, also laughing. Then they realized how close they were. They were still looking at each other when their smiles faded. Britney's heart started beating extremely fast as she saw Justin's face get closer to her's.
Their eyelashes were touching when...
