Maggie saw Justin lean his head down close to hers as her mind raced. "It's only a video, it's just acting," she tried to reason in her head. As soon as Justin's lips met hers, she felt weak in the knees and her stomach was full of butterflies. She remembered every kiss she'd ever shared with Justin and she had to agree, without a doubt, that this was the best one yet.
Justin brought his lips down to Maggie's and cherished every second of the kiss they shared. It was the best kiss he'd ever experienced, and he didn't want it to end. It ended within a few seconds, but those few seconds felt like an eternity to both Maggie and Justin.

The director, Lance, and the rest of the crew stood there looking on in shock. "This isn't in the script, is it?" Lance whispered to the director. He shook his head, "No, but this amazing, we've gotta keep it." A few seconds after the kiss the director yelled cut. "Okay, that's a wrap on the Justin Timberlake "When I Saw You" video, thanks everyone!" he yelled to the cast and crew while they applauded.
Maggie took a deep breath as she looked up at Justin nervously. She didn't want this whole video and kiss to ruin their friendship. He gave her a reassuring smile. "Let's go get some sleep," he said. Maggie nodded in agreement.

"I don't think I've ever been up for twenty-four hours straight before," Maggie replied tiredly as she and Justin walked into their hotel room. "I'm sure I have before, but I'm still dead tired," Justin replied, following her inside. He watched Maggie as she stumbled into the bedroom and fell onto the bed, still in her jeans and sweatshirt. He fell onto the bed next to her.
Justin lay on his back and looked at Maggie as she laid on her side with her back to him. He reached over and ran his fingers through her hair tenderly. "Maggie, I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it," he said nervously, his voice shaking.
"Ever since you've come back into my life, I've realized how much I love you and how much we belong together. I can't picture myself spending the rest of my life with anyone else but you. I understand that you're scared because of what happened before, but you have to believe that I'd never do anything to hurt you again, I love you too much," he finished.
When she didn't reply he became nervous. He leaned over to look at her and noticed she was fast asleep. He watched her chest go up and down with every breath she took. He sighed to himself and ran his fingers through her curls again. "I hope I get to tell you all this again someday," he sighed again, falling asleep at her side.
