I Do Not Love Justin
Timberlake
Short Story by Tiffany
"Baby! Baby! Come here!"
Justin mumbled drunkenly, hanging his head. Britney looked up from her seat on
the couch, distracting herself from her conversation with Laura Lynn.
"What the hell is he hollering
about?" Britney asked. Laura Lynn shrugged her shoulders. JC stumbled
into the living room, laughing hysterically.
"Britney, you've gotta go help Justin. Seriously-"
"Britney! Baby! I'm stuck inside
the window. Help me." He yelled, wavering on the window ledge.
Britney stood up, laughing herself. She
walked into the hallway to see that Justin was telling the truth. She put her
hands on her hips why a few bystanders watched.
"How the hell did you do
that?" She asked, laughing.
Justin tried to look behind him, but
couldn't due to the window sill. "Britney? Baby, is that you?" He
asked looking down at the grass below him.
"Yes. Why are you in the
window?" She asked, trying to hide her laughter now.
"Help me out. I don't want to fall
in my puke." He mumbled drunkenly. She scrunched her nose.
"You stuck yourself out the window
to vomit?" She smirked, relishing in the site before her.
"Just help me out here." She looked back to JC.
"Why can't you help him?" She
asked as he kept laughing.
"Hey, if I did, he'd fall and break
something. It's hilarious. Justin's stuck in a window." He managed to get
through his laughter. She rolled her eyes.
"Baby, you still there?" He asked, swaying his legs. She smiled,
going up to him.
"I'm right here." She replied.
"Alright, I'm going to help you out here since your friends are too busy
laughing at you." She said, sticking her hand out the window to put on
his shoulder.
"Great. I knew I loved you for
something." He replied. His eyes focused in and out on the grass beneath
him.
"Yeah." She whispered. "
Can you move your hips any further back?" She asked. He smiled.
"I remember I once asked you
that." He smiled drunkenly. She smacked his head with her hand.
"Shut up." She grinned. She put her right hand around his hip.
Seeing that he couldn't move his hips any further back without bringing
herself on top of him, she asked him if he could put his hands on the window
sill.
"No. You know, this reminds me of
my 21st birthday. You know, when I got stuck in the closet in our bedroom.
That was funny stuff right there man. Britney, you still there? Baby?
Baby?" He asked.
Britney sighed. "Yes, Justin, I'm
still here."
"Good. I don't want to fall in my vomit."
"Britney? Do you still love
me?" Justin asked, stacking the plastic shot glasses on top of each
other. Britney looked down, taking a drink of her Pepsi.
"You were my first love. I
guess there's something inside of me that still loves you." They were
sitting in Lance's kitchen while a few others were in the living room having
conversations. The kitchen held a few other occupants too entranced in each
other to notice the two talking.
"I still love you, Pinky."
He smiled drunkenly. She shifted in her seat.
"Justin, you're drunk."
She replied softly.
"But I know that I love you. You know, even when I was with Cameron, I
loved you. Maybe that's why we broke up. She always said I was too hung up on
you. I guess she was right. I love you, Pinky." She closed her eyes
tightly, trying to hold back so many memories.
"Justin, don't." She
whispered. He leaned in closer over the table.
"But I do. Ever since you
started dating Kevin, I totally lost myself. I couldn't stand being with
Cameron, knowing that she couldn't replace you." He whispered, looking
into her brown eyes. "You can't lie to me Brit. You know as much as I do
that he loved you, but not like me."
"Justin-"
"And then he got Shar pregnant. I didn't even see that coming. But, you
know. I felt so bad for you I let you be. I sent you those flowers." Her
head shot up. He sat back, stacking more shot glasses.
"That was you?" She asked.
"Yeah. I thought you could use the comfort." He shook his head.
"I've gotta go." She said,
quickly leaving her chair. She rushed to the bathroom, leaving Justin to
stacking shot glasses.
And now she was here, helping her
ex-boyfriend out of a window. "Alright, I'm going try to pull you back.
You're going to need to help me here, J."
"Hey, you called me J. Never
thought that was coming." He smiled. She shifted her eyes, pulling on his
hip. He pushed against the windowsill, causing her to fall on top of him,
through the open window.
"Ooooh." She grunted, landing
on his back.
"Baby, you still there." He
asked, looking behind him since it pushed him further out the window.
"Yeah. Alright, I'm going to go
outside to try to get you out the window. Try to stay still." She said,
using his back to push herself out of the window back into the hallway. People
were still laughing at him, drinks in hand. Lance came into the room, his
mouth open, and then laughing.
"Brit, what happened?" He asked. Her face fumed red, and he decided
not to ask further questions. His boyfriend, Chad, came up to him with a
questioning glance.
"Tell you later." He
whispered. Chad nodded his head.
She walked outside towards the window
Justin was hanging out of. She now understood why he didn't just push himself
out. The window was only about two feet off the ground and his vomit
was spread out all over. She scrunched her nose in disdain.
"Justin?" She asked, as his
head was hung low.
"Baby? Baby? Where are you?"
He asked, looking around.
"I'm right here." He looked
up, giving her a crooked smile.
"Oh. I see." She rolled her eyes, placing her hands on his shoulder.
"Alright, I'm going to push you
into the house. Don't push against the house, alright?" She asked. He
nodded.
"Alright. Ready?
1....2....3...." And of course, he didn't what he wasn't supposed to do.
He pushed against the house, sending them both flying back towards the grass.
Britney groaned as Justin landed on top of her.
"Justin! You're hurting me."
She gasped. "I can't breathe!"
He gave her a crooked grin.
"Wouldn't be the first time would it?" He asked. He rolled them both
over, setting his body weight on top of her hands.
"Justin, you're on my arms!"
She mumbled against his chest. He chuckled.
"Oh, this is hilarious. Here I am,
drunk on Lance's yard, and my ex-girlfriend on top of me." He laughed,
not shifting his body weight.
"Come on, Justin. I need to get
up." She replied.
"Give me a kiss." He smiled.
She groaned.
"Come on, Justin."
"Give me a kiss and I promise I'll
let you go." He said. He was beginning to come out of his stupor, and she
frowned.
"I love you Brit." He
whispered.
"J, we're 17 years old. What do you
know about love?" She asked, raising her head to meet his blue eyes. He
gave her a crooked grin.
"What do you know?" He asked.
He hugged her closer to him, but Britney didn't notice.
"Justin, you slept with my best friend.
How can you expect me-"
"Seduced." He corrected,
tapping her bottom lip. She frowned.
"You still slept with her."
She replied bitterly.
"I was 15. That was like, two years
ago."
"Justin-"
"One kiss Britney. One kiss is all I'm asking for." He cut her off.
"You're serious aren't you?"
She asked.
He swept her blonde hair behind her ear.
"I've never been more serious."
"I can't Justin."
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because I don't want to get hurt
again." She whispered. He stroked her bottom lip.
"I won't hurt you, Britney."
He replied, making eye contact with her.
"It doesn't work like that, Justin.
One promise doesn't fix a thousand mistakes."
"So what we had was a mistake?" He asked.
"What happened to us was a mistake. We were young-"
"We're still young."
She sighed, setting her head on his chest. "Britney, you can't go through
life being bitter because of something that happened when we were 15-"
"I'm not bitter!" She whispered angrily. By this time a crowd had
gathered near the window that Justin had recently fallen out of.
"Then why won't you kiss me?"
He smiled. Her face fumed red.
"You know what?"
"What?"
She said angrily. "Get off my
hands, you pig."
"Fine." He lifted his hips up to release her hands. She stood up
awkwardly, wiping her hands on her pants. He stood up in front of her, his
eyes gazing her.
"You know what?" She asked,
looking up at him, her anger rising.
"What?" He asked with
amusement.
"You're worse than a pig. You're
like a leach. Or a vampire. Sucking everyone dry!" She yelled.
"Fine."
"Fine!"
"Ok." He chuckled.
"So you're not going to attempt to
calm me down?" She asked, her hands on her hips.
"Why? I like you like this." He smiled.
She let out a scream. "You are
impossible Justin Timberlake!" She yelled.
"Fine."
"Fine!" She yelled, walking back towards the house. He stood there
as the audience looked on. Smiling, he watched her as she ran back towards
him.
"You want a kiss, I'll give you a
damn kiss!" She mumbled. Pulling his head down to meet hers, she slipped
her tongue into his mouth. It was a long, hard intense kiss. Their tongues
danced together as Justin wrapped his arms around her waist, and she kept hers
around his face. He moaned into her mouth, smirking as they kissed.
She pulled away breathless. "There,
you got your kiss."
"After I let you go?" He smiled down at her as she put her hands on
her hips.
"Yes, after you- What?" She
asked, turning around to face him.
"Admit it Britney, you still love
me and you know it." He smirked, walking towards the house.
"No I don't!" She stomped her
foot, crossing her arms. "I do not love Justin Timberlake." She
mumbled pathetically.
