With a smile, Justin gave her a small squeeze for assurance. “Don’t you worry about that. Every move this body makes impresses me,” he shook his head playfully as he pulled back only enough to give her a good look from head to toe, raising his eyebrows a couple times as if he was extra content showing her off to all these strangers. Once she took his hand and the lead, he looked down to her feet just for a few moments to get the steps down before her looked back up to her eyes. A chuckle escaped as she froze up for a moment, rubbing her back to help her relax and collect her thoughts again before nodding to assure her, “you’re good babe, you’re doing amazing.” He affirmed before flashing a smile though she was mostly looking elsewhere. “Yeah, well if you’re the teacher, i best be your favorite student,” he teased as he leaned in to kiss her cheek, leaving his lips close in case she was willing to kiss him back with all the locals around. 

hailey’s eyes lit up at his words, his reassurance making her a little less nervous, which helped her focus on the steps. “mhm, maybe not favorite, but definitely in my top five,” she joked with a small laugh, his lips on her cheek making her blush slightly. “you do have the best lips out of all of them though, i’ll give you that.” her eyes trailed down to them for a quick second, with how close they were, it was impossible not to reach out and rest her thumb on his chin to pull his face even closer, placing a soft peck on them. the blonde just couldn’t resist him. ever. still, with all the people around, she was hesitant, quickly pulling away again. the music started to pick up again, giving her the perfect distraction to focus on something else rather than her craving to kiss him again and again and again. “i kinda feel like we’re in a remake of dirty dancing. only that i’m johnny and you’re baby.” only that their story was a lovestory. and justin and hers wasn’t, right ? right. hailey quickly let the thought go, the beaming smile never leaving her face as they found their rhythm, dancing in the middle of the crowd as if they had done it hundreds of times before.

“do we sound crazy?”, zendaya asked, wathing hailey look at her ring with proud, feeling so happy to be able to share this huge moments with friends like hailey. “right? i find it so me! like not a huge princess cut you know? this is daya”, she said with a huge smile, now taking a look on it herself. she felt like she would never get tired of it. “it happen back in april, like april’s fool”, laughing, she shook her head a yes. “i actually decided to to ask him to mary me back in january, we took a trip together and then i had to, you know? so in april in a very weird night i showed him the ring and that’s it. i proposed and he said yes. and now i do too!”, it was impossible to stop her smile. “well, do you really wanted to hear me ramble about me having trouble to find a male wedding ring in LA?”

“yeah, crazy in love,” hailey replied with a chuckle. witnessing them together made her heart happy, because these were two people she really cared about. “it definitely is you. he seems to know you really well, which is a great foundation for a future marriage.” if there was anything she’d put absolute faith in, then that zendaya and noah were forever. they were definitely meant to be in her eyes. “girl, can i just say i am obsessed with the fact that you were the one to propose first ?!” she let out after z told her the story of the first proposal, “i have yet to take a look at his ring,” her eyes wandered around the room for the male, knowing she’d snatch him up for a conversation later to get a glimpse at it. wrapping her arm around the young actress, she pulled her in for a side hug, expressing once again how happy she was for the couple. “yeah, i would’ve definitely loved to hear about that. this is a real issue, especially for la. i mean, we’re in the twenty-first century. it should be considered normal for women to propose to their boyfriends instead of the other way around.”

Each passing minute of them stuck in that elevator was getting harder and harder to focus. At this point, his mind wasn’t 100% sure who was there with him anymore, all he could think about was the need of get out of there, into the open, get fresh air, so he could properly breathe. His chest was hurting from the pressure he was feeling over his irregular breathing. At some point he felt a hand grabbing his own over his chest, and a voice far far away, he couldn’t make out the words, but he was listening to someone, so he tried to focus on that, on trying to tune in with the voice, make out the words, put them together in a way that they would make sense in his head. He liked words, he could do that, sure he could try and focus on that. do what I do Okay, he could try that, still his vision was blurry, now that he notices it, he was with his eyes closed shut this past few minutes. Blinking he tried to focus in the figure before him, blonde locks was the first thing he recognized, hazel eyes was next. Inhale, deep, through nose. He could try that, he thought to himself, squeezing the hand that was placed over his, he tried to do that, make his breathing match the blonde’s, letting the air go through his mouth. Okay, he could do this. The hazel eyed girl kept repeating the directions like a small mantra, and slowly, or at least it felt like it took forever, Harry was able to even out his breathing, eyes glued together during the whole thing, somehow those were giving him the kind of reassurance he was in desperate need of. At each deep breath he took, he started to feel his mind get slightly clearer, at least to a point where the hand he was holding for dear life to was no longer of a stranger, but it was Hailey’s. Yet he couldn’t make himself to release it, only squeezing it harder, afraid that she would disappear in thin air and he would be left alone to die out of air to breathe in between those four walls surrounding them. “In…” He started to say with her. “Out…” He still wasn’t able to form a sentence, but he could feel his chest getting less thigh, allowing him to breathe more easily. 

“i mean can you believe it?”, she raises her hand to show the ring in her hand, herself still a bit not credulous about what just happened. they had invited friends to tell them that zendaya had proposed to noah but then, noah surprised her and proposed too, so now both of them had an engagement ring to show off. “i don’t if it’s vain, this is the prettiest ring ever”, z had a wide smile, never stop looking at her hand. @hollywoodsecretstarters​

“yeah, i definitely can believe it,” hailey chuckled even though she was still ( positively ) emotional from noah’s grand gesture to propose to z in front of everyone. her eyes adored the ring, delicately grabbing her hand to get a better look at it. “it’s perfect. the dark stone is just... flawless. i’m so happy for you two,” the blonde let out, not being able to take her eyes off of it. “okay but, noah said something about you proposing to him. i need all the details - when did it happen, how did it happen and why the hell didn’t you tell me about it before ?” her curiousity was at an all time high as she finally let her hand go, managing to focus her eyes on the black woman’s face rather than the ring.

“Oh well” Cami dramatically brushed her hair away, as if she was being full of herself, before breaking into laughter. If there was something Cami was grateful for was the fact that Hailey came into her life, the way the two became so close so fast was really telling, with Cami not giving herself on any type of relationships that fast, there was just something about the model that she instantly connected with, and the rest was history. Rolling her eyes, she smiled. “Whatever” She dismissed, even if what her friend said was absolutely true. “Let’s not break the tradition on that” She agreed, “It was fun, nothing too big, not really, this is probably the most exciting bit of it all in all honesty. I enjoyed myself some needed family time, so I ain’t complaining. I got what it looks like a life long bubble gum supply?! Does that count as an interesting present?” Cami wondered. “You can guess who sent it” The raven haired girl added, the moment the tattoo artist declared to be done with Hailey, and ready to take Cami under the needle. 

the good thing about finger tattoos - how aesthetically pleasing they were to hailey’s eyes included, was that they were done in no time. you could walk into a tattoo shop during your lunch break and be back at work thirty minutes later with three new tattoos on your fingers. “a life long bubble gum supply ?” the blonde raised her eyebrows intrigued, “damn, someone wants you to have good breath 24/7,” she chuckled, before trying to come up with a name for the little guessing game, leaving the chair for cami to sit down and get her part tattooed. “i’m gonna say kj. since you two always have to make out for the show,” hailey guessed with a small grin, not sure if she hit the jackpot with that answer or was completely wrong. glancing down at the acress’ side to watch the artist do his work, her eyes wandered to her tattooed balls. “this is gonna look so cool when it’s done,” she let out excitedly.

It had been an exhausting day to say the least. From the various activities to large meals and lots of laying in the sun, Justin was more than ready to call it a night along with the rest of the group – though all it took was a small suggestion from Hailey and before he knew it there they were in the streets, Justin with a newfound energy while walking towards the city center. There was usually a nervousness that came along with going out in public – never knowing just what fans or paparazzi might do – but tonight was different. At this point he felt safe enough around her to be himself without really caring about who else might see. The media would always make whatever story that sells and he was finally starting to realize he didn’t have much control over it. “I already know what i’m gunna get her,” Justin replied with a confident smile, though he still continued to scan smaller shops that looked less busy. ”I can’t tell you though cause you’ll steal my idea and take all the credit,“ he teased with a smirk as he looked back to her. 

He followed her into the busier part of the town, staying close and trying to keep a low cover so they could go mostly unnoticed. As soon as he heard the music, Justin was instinctively moving his hips along to the rhythum as they made their way closer, Hailey’s hand in his making him beam back at her more than the music. Once they made their way close enough to actually see what was happening in the center, Hailey was quickly being swept off by and local with clearly good intentions. Enjoying the little show and how much Hailey was clearly enjoying the little lesson, Justin stayed in his spot and cheered her on with a large grin and his eyes glued on her. Impossibly, his smile got even bigger when she came closer and he held his hand out to her. “I thought you’d never ask,” he giggled as tried to control his smile so he cheeks wouldn’t be hurting all night, leading her out into the crowd dancing in the center and pulling her body up against his. “You’re gunna have to lead a little since you’ve clearly had the special class from a local,” he teased as if he was jealous, though he couldn’t hold back a small chuckle as his hands already started drifting down her back.  

her lips curled into a bright smile at his words before he lead them out into the crowd. hailey’s entire body started to tingle at his touch, the way he pulled her body up against his causing her heart to skip a beat. it was easy to get lost in his eyes, so she had to pull herself together and remind herself that there was a task at hand. “gotta get the practice somewhere to impress you with my amazing salsa moves,” she shrugged chuckling, cradling the nape of his neck before her hand wandered to his biceps, the other grabbing his free hand to interlock it with hers before she extended them in the common way people did when dancing classic dances. “okay, watch my feet,” the blonde quickly glanced over at the other couples to make sure her brain was remembering the steps right before she looked down, pausing a moment as she furrowed her brows. “i’m having a blackout,” she finally admitted with a small giggle, her eyes shooting up again. she couldn’t deny that she got nervous around him, even more now with the close proximity. her cheeks turned slightly red at the embarrassment, at least making her look everywhere but at him, avoiding another ‘getting lost in those pretty light brown eyes’ situation. “okay, let’s try this again,” hailey took in a breath, concentrating on her feet again. slowly moving them forward by doing the steps the local had taught her - maybe not exactly to the rhythm yet and maybe they were still a little bumpy, but she was getting there, always making sure he was following the steps with his eyes to learn. yeah, they were getting there. “pretty sure i am the best teacher in the world,” she teased with a laugh as the song came to an end, making everyone stop their movements for a quick second as they waited for the musicians to start playing the next one.

The thing about panic attacks, you know it doesn’t make sense, and that it’s mostly in your head, but you still can’t make it stop, get a grip, and pull your shit together. Right now, all Harry could think about was how he couldn’t breathe, and how Hailey was probably the last person he wanted to be this vulnerable around. Right now, with his back against the cold walls of the elevator, Harry was half aware of the blonde talking, what she was saying, he couldn’t be so sure, his mind was going in and out of focus, so the bits he was getting weren’t making much sense, which in any other circumstance wouldn’t be that surprising, but right now it was a worrisome matter. Focus. Focus Harry. He chanted to himself, heavy breathing still, hand over his chest, he could feel his whole body starting to over sweat for no apparent reason, resulting on the male undoing a couple of buttons of his shirt, without thinking too much on what he was doing, fingers brushing his locks of hair away from his face, head bumping against the elevator’s wall.  “ i’m sure they’re gonna wonder where you are,” he was able to ear, even if it sounded miles away, instead of right besides him, where the model was standing. “The only plan I had was with my bed for a early night of sleep, I’m not expected any where until tomorrow at 10am at the airport to fly back to London…” his voice was specially dragged and slow, and that was telling, since he was already a slow speaker, in between uneven breathing, his hand physically starting to shake beyond his control. By Hailey’s tone he knew the model was snapping at him, but her words were a scrambled mess in his head, “What did you said?” He questioned, blinking his eyes as he tried to focus, “I’m sorry- I-” His speech was becoming messier by the second, and there was close to nothing he could do at this point, he had no control over the situation anymore, and that was the scariest part of it all. “I really can’t breathe” he declared once again, taking all the air he could in yet it still wasn’t enough.  

Cami didn’t hold back her excitement the moment Hailey easily agreed to it, joining her best friend on clapping, laughing probably a bit too loud for someone that is inside a tattoo shop, the moment the thought crossed her mind, she instinctively covered her mouth with one hand, a grin still on her face. “I give off big dick energy?! Okay, I can see it, and if it’s 80% a fake front, no one has to know. You’re definitely the one who got balls to do all the crazy shit, and you have a tendency to drag me along, so I approve of your reasoning.” Cami went over the train of thought, amused with the whole thing. “I am the birthday girl.” She declared proudly grinning. “It’s settled then” Cami declared with a nod, and then proceeding on telling the tattoo artist they finally made their mind and were ready for what was bound to be a quick inked time. 

hailey playfully rolled her eyes at the raven haired girl’s comment, the grin never leaving her face. “thus confirming that you are indeed the most talented actress on this planet,” she chuckled. being best friends with cami was easy, the two young women almost always had the same opinion on something or came to an agreement quickly. even when it came to what kind of food to order for dinner. it was a well balanced giving and taking and the blonde appreciated that. “oh c’mon, you love it when i drag you into crazy shit, don’t even try to deny it,” the model spoke with a laugh before cami informed the tattoo artist about the tattoo they had decided on, earning a smug grin from him. “i’ll go first, since i apparently always drag you into crazy shit,” hailey quoted her, hopping into the intended chair as she laid her pinky finger on the disinfected surface to let him do his thing. “so, how was your birthday anyway ? any interesting congratulators or presents ?” she asked curiously, keeping herself busy by talking to blend out the slight pain the needle started to cause on the thin skin.

to say she wasn’t happy to just spend an evening with justin alone would’ve been a lie. although she loved the group - their dynamic just matched; each and every single person brought something to make this whole vacation so wholesome, she hadn’t complained when they all ditched them after dinner, exhausted from their previous activities. the night was still young and hailey had never been one to waste her time away in a hotel or airbnb while on vacation when she could explore her surroundings instead. convincing the male to take a walk around the city with her hadn’t been hard. the two had been close for a while now ( with the whole world watching ), and had silently added a + to their friendship while the media had already marked them as couple, no matter how often they made sure to let people know that they were just friends.but quite frankly, she was unbothered by it. her eyes roamed around, taking in the shops and bars and restaurants that were along the plaza, before her eyes found his. “kenny is gonna get so mad if i get back to our place without bringing her something, so keep an eye out for something she might like,” hailey chuckled.

the nightlife was busy in the city, so the blonde lead him into a more quiet street, not wanting to drag all the attention onto him, partly protecting him from the buzz, but also protecting herself, knowing that once the word got out that he was here, there wouldn’t be a moment without a camera focused on him. ever since she had stumbled into his life, she’d not only tried to be supportive, but also protective over him. the soft sound of music was filling the air and as they got closer, people laughing and cheering were added to it, making the model curious. it didn’t take them long to stumble upon the source - a group of people had gathered on the local market square, guitars and hand drums being played while couples danced to the rhythm of the music. “oh my god, this looks so fun,” hailey beamed, taking his hand to pull him a little closer towards it. clapping her hands to the rhythm to basically cheer them on as she watched them, the enthusiastic grin never left her lips, her eyes adoring the sight in front of her. but then a local snatched her away from justin, pulling her right into the crowd, making her gasp. as a former ballet dancer, she knew how to move her body to the rhythm but salsa had never been on her agenda. a few instructions from the mexican male later, she found herself somewhat succeeding at the steps, although it was still a little bumpy. “now show your boyfriend,” the male whispered in broken english into her ear, moving them towards him. before she could say anything, he disappeared, making hailey turn around twice to look for him, but he was gone. “so,” she started with a raise of her eyebrows, trying to gather herself, “care to dance, mr bieber ?” @jdrewb-ieber​

Harry painfully bit his tongue in an effort not to snap at the blonde, she had no clue how close he was about to lose it, this was nothing compared to how dramatic it can get if he does. Harry really couldn’t have a break, out of all people in LA, Hailey had to be the one getting stuck with him. Over how anxious Harry was getting, he was barely paying attention to where they were touching each other, as they did their best to accomplish this one task together, in a very frustrated attempt to get a signal in her phone so they could ask for help. Along the way, he was pretty sure his end ended in her ass at some point, whereas her legs and feet were poking at him at all the wrong places and for sure leaving marks, something that Harry really didn’t care one single bit, even if it still hurt him a little. Let’s not even mention how awful this was for his bad back, his doctor would not approve. “I am trying!” He spoke between clenched teeth, the frustration clear in his voice. When Hailey finally seemed to get a somewhat steady position, Harry just stood there, hands holding her thighs for support, not even minding to ask for permission. “I’ve got you, I promise” Harry assured, feeling his position quite secure amazingly, and he did all he could to keep it so. “What?!” He asked as he listened to the blonde cursing. “For fucks sake, No!” He whined, but still held his ground, making sure she wasn’t falling off of him, and that she felt him stable enough to try and get off of him. “Give me your hand” Harry asked, actually he kind of demanded, raising one hand up so she could hold, whilst his other one was still holding her leg for stability, as she eventually hold on tight enough, the British managed to go into a squad position, allowing her to get off him easily enough, and with no longer with a task in mind, he let himself fall into the ground, into a seating position, back against the elevators wall, hands brushing his face. This was a nightmare, the singer thought, as he felt his breathing go out of pace, becoming harder to properly breath by the second. “They have to know we’re missing right?!” He wondered, trying to hide the panic from his voice, as he realized no one was going to miss him, he drove alone, and there was no one expecting him back at home, he was supposed to get home, have a night of sleep and head off the the airport in the morning, he had absolutely nothing schedule with no one. No one was going to notice him missing. “I can’t breathe” he said to himself, as realization sank in.

“No backing out!” Cami raised her hands in he air, grinning at her bestfriend dramatics. “I really liked the dick idea… and no one would ever tell what is it unless we reveal it…” Cami confessed, still looking through the pictures as Hailey was scrolling through on her phone. “Which one would get the balls and who would get the dick though…” She wondered, amused. 

hailey’s lips curled into a soft grin as cami spoke out her vote for the dick tattoo. “a dick it is,” she agreed, clapping both her hands together out of excitement. “i feel like you should get the dick. because you radiate this big dick energy to me,” the blonde explained her choice, “and i feel like i’m the more ballsy one out of the two of us. get it ? ballsy bc balls,” hailey nudged her gently with a wiggle of her eyebrows, laughing over her own dumb attempt at a joke. “but you’re the birthday girl, you decide !”

“She knows. I actually told her and we were supposed to doing the exclusive thing and all, but I just gotta believe it’s not as bad as it looks.“ Justin couldn’t even look at Hailey as he shrugged off the topic, trying to show that he really didn’t want to explore it too much further in fear of hurting the blonde in front of him in. “From now on you only get your backstage passes if you are fully decked out in baby bieber gear. Deal?“ he challenged with a chuckle as he took a moment to look her up and down, appreciating her ever fashion choices for the evening. “Oh, is that why? Just the tickets huh?“ he asked with a smirk, fishing for more. 

it wasn’t the first time her curiousity had ended in finding out stuff that she didn’t want to hear or wasn’t ready to hear yet anyway. letting out a small sigh, hailey forced a smile, deciding to drop the topic, her eyes focused on the drink in her hand rather than his face. at least it would make it easier to tell him about hero now since he had someone new as well. “deal,” she agreed, holding her hand out for him to shake it to finalize the deal, “watch me reppin’ that baby bieber era proudly at every single concert,” she grinned, glad the conversation was taking a more lighter turn. “nah, also because of all the publicity and attention i get for hanging out with you, obviously. i mean, i wouldn’t be where i am today without you,” the blonde playfully rolled her eyes, chuckling.
