Nobody's POV:

Julie frowned and whimpered forlornly as she tossed back and forth in her sleep, Kevin's warmth fading away from beside her. All she wanted was to hold him close, to have every single part of him belong to her. She couldn't bear for him to leave, not now...

"Julie."

The girl's eyelids fluttered open wildly to see Kevin's face only inches from her own, his lips grazing her cheek. He reached out and grabbed her gently by the waist, burying her deeper in his intoxicating scent.

"What..?" She murmured dreamily, shivering with delight as Kevin's lips moved fervently along her jaw line.

Kevin sighed, regretting the words that were about to escape his lips. He turned her shoulders tenderly so that he could gaze down into her deep, stunning, mysterious stare.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that it's already 11:00 in the morning, and I was wondering when your parents usually wake up." He muttered, already knowing that he had really done himself in this time. Julie was going to beat him up for this one...

"It's WHAT?!" Julie screeched, scrambling to her feet and shoving Kevin back down onto the beach in her fury. "YOU were supposed to wake me up!!"

Kevin jolted up, brushing the sand off the front of his t-shirt. "Since when did I agree to that?" He spat angrily. "Anyways, it JUST so happens that I own the fastest moving machine in all of Bellwood." He smirked. "So if you want to not get caught by your folks, let's get a move on!!" Kevin jogged contently over to his ride, grinning from ear to ear. An extremely irritated Julie stormed after him, gritting her teeth and thinking about the easiest ways to kill Kevin...

Kevin yanked out his car keys, thrashing them about in the air to find the remote keyless system.

"Hurry up!" Julie snapped, her arms crossed sternly across her chest.

"Oookay! Sheesh!!" Kevin simpered.

The raven-haired teen then frowned angrily as he realized he had lost the remote.

"UGH! My remote must've fallen off!!" He scowled, kicking a rock across the pavement.

"GREAT!!" Julie roared, seething with outrage.

"Hold on, I think I can break the window open..."

Reaching down, Kevin absorbed the road, his hand coating in rubber. With a gulp, the raven-haired teen forced his fist through the window, shards of sun-flecked glass flying out everywhere around them.

Kevin gritted his teeth as he reached through the jagged hole in his decimated window to unlock the door. His poor car. With dismay, he pulled the destroyed door open, and plopped down on the seat. But Kevin gasped and turned beet red as the car didn't start. The infuriated teen kept jamming the key into the ignition, cursing louder than Eminem. He groaned with irritation as he realized he was out of gas.

"I, I'm outta gas." The teen mumbled with disquieted emotions.

"UGHHH!!" Julie ran over to the nearest tree and started banging her head against it in her angst.

That was when a thought suddenly washed over Kevin with dawning realization.

"I just SMASHED my car window for NOTHING??!!" Kevin yelled out in fuming anger, throwing his hands up in frustration.

"Pretty much!!" Julie sneered, overcome with an equally angry attitude. "But, do you want to know what I did that sucks even WORSE??" The dark haired girl got all up into his face, her lips practically only inches from his own, and her hair whipping chaotically around in the gust of wind.

"Oh, yeah??" Kevin snarled, his eyes glinted with fiery hate. "WHAT?"

"I spent the WHOLE, ENTIRE, FREAKING, STUPID, RETARTED night with an EX-CON!!!!" She blurted out, standing up on her tipi-toes to make herself appear more intimidating. "And I fell inLOVE with him!!"

Julie gasped as she admitted her true feelings unintentionally, blushing a deep crimson and turning on her heel in a split second to leave.

But Kevin was faster.

He reached out and seized the girl by her shoulders, gently jerking her back to face him.

"You...what?" He breathed, staring down thoughtfully into her sparkling eyes.

"I...I..." Julie stammered. She had NEVER been good at declaring her feelings like this.

"I...you know... what I mean... no, I didn't mean... I just..."

That was all Kevin needed to hear. In a split second, Kevin's lips had clamped down firmly on Julie's, moving passionately. Julie froze, her mind blanking, and she suddenly wasn't angry anymore. She could only feel and experience the true bliss that flowed between her and Kevin as their lips moved simultaneously, bound together as one. Julie kissed back avidly, her strong desire for Kevin driving her to give him everything she had ever felt. The kiss, just as it had been before, was so powerfully contagious; the energy flowing between them made their hearts leap in their chests and their minds feel injected with a pure ecstasy.

It took almost forever for them to finally break apart, their deep connection urging them to do everything in their power to lengthen the kiss. Panting heavily and gasping for air, Kevin and Julie wrapped their arms around each other in an embrace.

"I'm sorry." Julie sniffed into Kevin's shoulder. He held her tightly against his chest, never wanting to let her go. He loved her with every beat of his heart, and now, just being with her, holding Julie's comforting body in his arms, he felt complete, like he didn't need anyone else in his life but her.

"Don't be." He whispered into her ear. "I was the stupid one. You didn't do anything wrong."

Julie's breath taking smile sent his heart soaring.

"Glad you think so." She grinned, Kevin gladly returning it.

"Okay." Julie sighed, and Kevin sadly let her go. "Now that we're OK again, we need to figure out what to do..." She pondered, planting her hand firmly on her hip. The raven-haired teen suddenly giggled as an idea hit her like a bullet. "Hey Kevin..." She started timidly, staring up into his deep, shining, onyx eyes. "How good are you at giving piggy-back rides?"

Kevin groaned.

But the dark-haired teen gave in, crouching down for the girl to swing her leg over his torso, transferring all her weight to his back.

Kevin grunted, standing up to his full height, the dark-haired girl laughing so hard her cheeks were streaked with tears.

"Giddy up!" Julie giggled mockingly, and kicked him gently in the side as if to make him run faster.

She had no such luck.

"God, you weigh more than Gwen!!" Kevin groaned, stumbling as fast as he could down the dirt path.

"Maybe, but I'm waaaay prettier." Julie giggled mischievously, her arms wound tightly around Kevin's neck.

Kevin grinned. Sure, he loved his girlfriend, but was she ever as much fun as Julie? No. Gwen never understood him, either.

And Julie did.

Kevin moaned as rain began to plummet down from the murky clouds that were venturing towards the sun to obscure it. Interestingly enough, Julie's laughter increased, and the dark-eyed teenager stuck her arms and tongue out, trying to catch the raindrops.

Kevin just rolled his eyes, she was such a goofy girl.

"Hahaha, Kevin, you should try this!! It's so fun!" The excited girl chirped.

"Sorry to break it to ya, Jules...but, I'm kinda busy right now carrying someone like a pet pack mule." He grinned, and Julie chuckled, her eyes gleaming like stars in the night sky.

Ten minutes later, Kevin turned the corner to Julie's street.

The whole way there, Julie had been giggling and pointing out random things that they passed by. She was so entirely blissful, her mind clouded with sweet exuberance. She absolutely adored being with Kevin, and she didn't have a care in the world any more.

"Okay, this is my street! You can let me off, now." Kevin smirked, bending down for Julie to slide off his back. He stood straight up again to find Julie grinning widely. It looked like she was desperately attempting to hold back a chorus of giggles.

"What's so funny?? Kevin inquired, fully curious.

"I just realized how awkward we must have looked."

Kevin cocked his head to the side in confusion, and Julie leaned in closer. "You... gave me... a piggy back ride... in... my lingerie."

And with that, the two teens threw their heads up into the air, laughing so hard that their chests ached.
