Chapter 3: The New Found Love

Natalya gasped loudly, causing Tyson to turn and see what made that noise. When he saw Natalya standing in the doorway, he swore loudly and reached for his boxers that were lying on the ground next to the bed. By the time he looked up, she had already disappeared, running down the hallway, tears filling her eyes. Blinded, she ran straight into a hard body and with a loud "oof" she fell flat on her bottom.

"I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run into you." she said her voice shaky as she wiped tears from her eyes.

When she could see somewhat through the cloud of salt water, she realized that she had run into Justin.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Bullshit. You are crying and running into people. What's wrong?"

"It's Tyson. I just found him in bed with another woman."

"Really? Who was it?"

"It's Kelly." Natalya huffed as she started crying again.

Justin was about to express his disbelief in the situation when Natalya's cell phone rang. After rummaging around in her purse, she finally found the gadget and saw that it was Tyson.

"Sonofabitch!"

"What? Who is it?"

She turned the phone towards him so that he could read it himself. Seeing how heartbroken she was, he grabbed her phone and shut it off.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked, reaching for her phone.

"Making sure that you don't mope around, feeling sorry for yourself like I did. I want you to take a couple of deep breaths and then we are going downstairs, meeting up with Beth and Randy, and we are going out. I am making it my personal mission to see to it that you have a good time."

Natalya just sat there with a look of shock on her face, not believing what had just come out of his mouth. This caused him to smile as he stood up and helped Natalya up to her feet. He pulled her close and put his hands on either side of her face.

"He obviously doesn't deserve a woman quite like you to do such a horrible thing." He said as he gently used his thumbs to wipe away her tears and her running mascara.

She just stood there, staring deep into the deep chocolate brown eyes that bore into her piercing emerald eyes. Her heart was confused. It was hurting after finding Tyson in bed with Kelly, but then, it was fluttering at Justin's touch. Before she knew it, his head was slowing closing the gap between them, his lips set on hers. She bit down on her lip and took a step away from him, making him drop his hands.

"I'm sorry Justin. I just can't, at least not now."

"No, I'm sorry. I was just got caught up in the moment. I shouldn't have even tried." Justin said as he turned away from her, rubbing his face with both of his hands. He could not believe that he just tried to kiss her. He knew she was a mess, and he tried to take advantage of her. What was wrong with him?

He was just about to head back to his room when he felt a hand gently touch his shoulder. He turned to see that Natalya was smiling at him.

"Are you okay?" she asked, letting her hand wonder down his arm towards his hand, stopping just above his wrist.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Now, it is my turn to call bullshit."

"No really, I'm fine." He said, smiling as he grabbed ahold of her hand.

She knew deep down that she should pull her hand away so that she would not lead him on. But something about his touch just felt so right. Before she had a chance to make up her mind whether or not to keep her hand there or pull it away, a shrill ringing sound interrupted her thoughts. It took her a minute to realize that the noise was coming from Justin's jeans.

With his free hand, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out his phone, not recognizing the number but he answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Justin, are you with Nattie?"

"Who is this?"

"It's Beth. She was supposed to meet Randy and I in the lobby ten minutes ago and she mentioned that you were coming with us. I already tried to call her, but it went straight to voicemail."

"Oh yeah she's standing right here with me. We are on our way down right now."

"Okay, good." Beth said as she hung up.

Natalya just gave him a questioning look.

"That was Beth. She was wondering where we were."

"Shit! I cannot let her see me all broken up like this. She has already told Tyson that if he ever cheated on me, she would castrate him. Then add in the alcohol and then she would land her ass in jail." Natalya said hysterically.

"Nattie! Calm down a bit! You do not look broken up, you look gorgeous."

"You…you really think so?"

"Absolutely."

Before she could stop herself, Natalya found herself up on her tiptoes, her hands around Justin's neck as she pulled his head towards hers. She found his lips with ease and she just went for it. She had the feeling of being completely safe with him as she leaned into his rock hard body, letting out a slight moan. Completely lost in her own little world as their tongues started to explore, she did not hear the thunderous footsteps coming up behind them.

"What the hell is going on here?" a voice boomed from right behind her.

Natalya and Justin broke their embrace and as she turned to see how was behind her, she heard a loud cracking sound. Whipping her head back around, she saw Justin fall to the floor covering his face.

"Justin? Are you okay?" Natalya asked as she instantly dropped to her knees and moved his hands out of the way. Blood was pouring from his broken nose.

She finally looked up to see who had punched him. Standing there with an angry scowl on his face was Tyson.
