"Are you crying?"

"Yes," I said, smacking him on the chest.

He smiled crookedly. "Why? Movie too sad for you?"

"Yeah. I always cry at this movie. And don't act like you weren't crying earlier."

"I was. I won't deny it."

I giggled. I was about to kiss him, but I jumped at the sound of my ringtone. I suddenly remembered that I was suppose to call my mom. I got up and ran to the phone, picking it up before I missed the call.

"Hello?"

"What have you been doing all day? Why didn't you call?"

"Sorry mom. I forgot. We just stayed here at Justin's house all day and watched movies."

"Well you need to get home. Now."

"All right. I'll be there soon."

I hung up and looked at Justin. "I have to go."

He groaned and lay still for a moment. He then lazily got up and made his way towards me and cupped my face. He leaned down and slowly and lightly kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his torso as he deepened the kiss.

"Do you really have to go?" he murmured against my lips.

"Mhm."

He groaned and pressed his lips against mine again. After a while he finally pulled away and sighed. He pulled me into a tight hug and rested his head on top of mine.

"Did she say you have to leave right now?"

"Yes."

I pulled away and kissed him quickly then went to gather my stuff. Once I did we both walked down stairs and I into his car. I didn't change because I was going to shower and change at home. In a few minutes we were outside my house. He kissed me before I got out.

"I'll see you soon," he said before driving away.

"What do you mean?"

He winked. "You'll see."

With that he drove away. I walked to my door still confused as to what he meant.

"Mom, im home!" I called out.

I walked to the kitchen and greeted my mom and step dad.

"Hey, where have you been all day?" asked my step dad.

"At Justin's house. We just stayed home and watched movies."

"What did you two watch?" my mom asked.

"Lovey-dovey stuff."

"Oh, I see."

"Yup. Well im gonna go upstairs and change then go to bed. Goodnight."

"You don't want anything to eat?"

"Nah, I ate some stuff while I was there."

"Well okay then. Goodnight."

I went upstairs and took a shower then changed into a different set of pajamas. I was debating whether or not to blow dry my hair or just go straight to bed. I decided to blow dry my hair, so I did. When I was done I went to my bed, laid down, and texted back to the texts I ignored earlier. I did that for about 30 minutes, talking to my old my friends, before I heard something hitting my window. I stopped texting and stared at the window to realize that someone was throwing pebbles. I got up and looked outside.

"Leah!" someone loudly whispered.

"Who's there?" I whispered back.

"It's Justin!"

"What? What are you doing here?"

"Come downstairs!"

"Why?"

"Let's go somewhere! Let's get out of here."

"Where?"

"Anywhere!"

"Fine, wait!"

Since I was already wearing a tank top, I just quickly changed into different shorts and put on a crewneck. I closed my window and quietly made my way downstairs. I left a little note in the kitchen saying that I went out, just in case my parents woke up early. Then I quietly opened and the closed the door and ran into Justin's arms. He kissed me.

"So where are we going, my queen?"

"Anywhere."

"All right. Let's go."

He opened the door for me then went to his side and started the car. He started driving.

"The beach or the meadow?" he asked.

"The beach."

"Our usual spot?"

"Yup," I said smiling.

He took my hand and continued driving. I leaned back and stared at him as he began to lightly sing. Once again, it was one of his originals.

"You know, you should really consider a career in singing."

"Nah. Not really my thing. I like singing for fun, not money or fame."

I smiled at him. "I see what you mean."

"Yeah."

Once we arrived at the beach he parked the car and got out. He went to the trunk to get two blankets before opening my door. I offered to help him hold one of the blankets but he only smiled and took my hand as we walked on the sand. He stopped and laid down one of the blankets. He sat down, pulling me along with im so that I was sitting in between his legs. I leaned back against his chest and closed my eyes as he put the second blanket over us. I felt peaceful.

"I'm going to marry you someday," he murmured against my head.

"You really want to?"

"Yup. We're gonna have a family, a home, and great jobs. We'll even have a dog," he added, laughing.

"Can it be a husky?"

"Of course."

"All right then."

"Where do you want to live?"

"Somewhere close to family. But my family is all spread out. And I always dreamed of moving to New York."

"Why?"

"I just love being in the city. What about you?"

"Wherever you are is my home."

I smiled. "Even a cave?" I asked jokingly.

"Yes, even in a cave. Even in the middle of the forest if that's what you want."

I laughed. "All right. That's settled. We'll live in the middle of the forest and find a cave."

"Okay, deal. We'll stay there for the rest of our lives."

"Can it be a forest in Hawaii or something? Other forests are kind of… icky."

"Yeah. We'll live with all of the islanders."

"Hm. Such a beautiful future, don't you think?"

"The best I could ask for."

I twisted around so that I was facing him and kissed him.

"I love you," he whispered, looking into my eyes.

"I love you too."

He chuckled. "You know, this is where I asked you to be my girlfriend?"

"Really?" I asked, looking around.

"Yeah. Call me a weirdo, but I remembered."

"Well then this should be our second place. The meadow is first, of course."

He smiled. "Alright."

I turned back around to stare at the water and leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around my chest and kissed my cheek.

"Are you tired?"

"Not really. We spent all day in bed after all."

"True."

We stayed silent for a while, just enjoying each other's company. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the waves and the wind. The breeze felt good, and Justin was quietly singing in my ear. Far away, I could hear a bunch of people, which meant there was probably a party or a bonfire. Strangely, I liked the sound. Everything felt so perfect.

"Are you sleeping?" Justin whispered.

"Yes," I muttered.

He chuckled. "Come on, sleepy. Let's lay down."

I groaned as I leaned forward and away from him. He scooted back and patted the space next to him, motioning for me to lay down next to him. I went next to him and laid on my back to stare at the stars.

"The stars are so beautiful," I whispered.

"Nothing compared to you though," he muttered.

I looked at him and saw that he was staring at me. "Really?"

"Yes. The stars look like spots of dirt compared to you."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

He turned so that he was lying on his side to face me. He gently brushed my cheek. I turned so that I was on my side also. He leaned in and lightly kissed me.

"Since we're sleeping here tonight, can you set an alarm? My mom will probably kill me if im not home in the morning, even though I left a note just in case."

He did as I said. While he was doing this I cuddled closer to him and he put his arm around me. He gently stroked my hair and began singing. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up to Justin lightly shaking me. "Babe, get up. Come on. We have to get you home soon."

"Im tired."

"Well it's about to be sunrise. Wanna watch it with me?"

I lazily opened my eyes and saw that it was still dark. "What time is it?"

"5:25. Sunrise is usually in ten minutes."

"All right."

Since he was already sitting up, I sat in between his legs again. I brought the blanket with me and fixed so it covered the both of us. We sat in silence, waiting for sunrise. Finally, I could see some light. He placed his hands over mine and intertwined our fingers. He lightly kissed my neck as the sun rised. It so was so beautiful. I felt happy to share this moment with him.

We sat there for about 30 more minutes then decided it was time to go. We were silent most of the ride home, just enjoying each other being there.

When we were in front of my house, he said, "Wanna go to a picnic later? Around 11? I forgot to tell you."

"Sure. With who?"

"My family. All of them. It's about an hour away from here."

"Okay, I'll ask and tell you later."

"Okay."

I quickly kissed him before I went inside. Thankfully, no one was awake so I went straight to my room and took a shower. I was still a little tired so I took a quick nap. When I woke up I went straight to my moms' room. It was empty. I went downstairs to check the kitchen, but I saw her in the backyard from the window. I went outside and sat next to her at the pool.

"Good morning," she said.

"Morning."

"You look like you've been out all night…"

I looked at her. "What?"

"Your note."

Shit, I forgot. "Oh, yeah."

"Where did you go?"

"I went to the beach with Justin to watch the sunrise."

"He picked you up? When?"

I shrugged. "About an hour after I got home."

"Wow. You guys are inseparable, huh?"

"I guess. That reminds me, can I go out later? He invited me a picnic with his family."

"Really now?"

"Yup."

"All right. Is his mom picking you up or just him?"

"I think just him."

"Okay. What time?"

"He said 11."

"Well you better get ready. It's 10:30, and you know how you get."

"All right. Thanks mom."

"No problem."

I kissed her on the cheek quickly and went up to my room to get ready. I texted Justin saying I could go. He said he would pick me up at exactly 11. So I straightened my hair, changed into shorts, put on a floral short, and a cardigan. I grabbed a handbag and put my phone, IPod, and camera in there. When Justin called and said he was outside I put on a pair of sunglasses then told my mom goodbye.

When I went outside it was only Justin, just like I predicted. I got in the car.

"Where's your mom and dad?" I asked after he kissed me.

"Already there. We have to pick Jazmyn and Jaxon up from their babysitter. Then we'll go."

"All right. How long are we going to be there?"

He shrugged. "Probably late. There's a party at my cousin's house after. And trust me, you wanna go. Their house is huge."

"Okay."

"By the way, you look beautiful. Well you always do, but I just thought I'd tell you."

I blushed. "Thanks. You look pretty handsome yourself."

"Oh, I know," he said playfully.

"So how many people are gonna be there?"

"I don't know. Maybe about 60? We reserved the whole park since I've got a pretty big family. I guess it's like a family reunion. But we do this every few months. Most of them are little kids though."

"Okay."

"Why?"

"Im kind of nervous."

"About what?"

"What if your family doesn't like me?"

He took my hand. "They'll love you. If I love you, they'll love you. That's how it goes in our family."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," he said squeezing my hand reassuringly.

He suddenly stopped at a house and I remembered that we were picking up his brother and sister.

"I'll be right back," he said.

He got out and went into the house. About a minute later he came out carrying Jazmyn and holding Jaxon's hand. I smiled as they walked towards me. Justin was great with them. In fact, he was great with kids in general. And I absolutely loved that about him.

I stepped out of the car to help him buckle Jazzy and Jaxon in. As I was buckling in Jaxon, he kissed me on the cheek. I looked at Justin and saw that he was grinning hugely at me.

"Oh, he told me not to tell you, but Jaxon here has a big crush on you."

I turned to Jaxon. "Really now?"

He nodded. I giggled and lightly kissed him on the cheek before going back to my seat. During the ride there, we were all laughing and making jokes. It just made things more amazing to see how Justin was with Jazzy and Jaxon.

When we got to the park I helped Justin get Jazzy and Jaxon out. As soon as they stepped out the car they ran away towards the rest of his family. I giggled and smiled after them. Suddenly, Justin grabbed my hands.

"You ready?"

I looked at him and smiled. "Yes."

I was surprised by the truth of my words. I had been nervous meeting his parents, but everything turned out fine, just like he said. So I knew there was probably nothing to worry about. Just as long as he was with me, it would all be okay.

We started walking to his family. He squeezed my hand tightly, reassuring me.

Everything went okay. He introduced me to all of his family. I smiled and shook their hands, but most of them gave me hugs. Everybody was nice to me. Like he said, there were a lot of little kids. But there were a few of his cousins that were around our age. His uncles and aunties were offering me food left and right. I gladly took some along with Justin. When we got all the food we needed, I was about to sit down, but he took my hands and began walking to a different table.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I want you to meet somebody."

We continued walking a few more yards before we reached a table. There was an elderly couple sitting down with Jazzy and Jaxon.

"Leah, this is my grandma and grandpa. Grandma, Grandpa, this is my beautiful girlfriend, Leah."

"Hi," I said, kindly shaking their hands.

Justin sat down and pulled me along with him. His grandparents were smiling hugely at me.

"So, how long have you known each other?"

"Almost a month," Justin answered.

"Really? How did you guys meet?" she asked, asking me now.

"Well, I just moved here and one of my neighbors came over to help out with the unpacking. Then she took me out to meet her friends and I met Justin."

"Who was it?"

"It was Joanne. You remember, don't you Gran? She's Ryan's girlfriend."

"YO, JUSTIN!"

We all turned to where the noise came from. It turned out it was Justin's uncle. He excused himself from the table quickly and went to greet him. I turned back around and continued eating.

"You know, you must be really special to Justin. He's never brought a girl to meet the family. Especially our family picnic."

"Really?"

"Yeah. We told all the kids to never bring someone over unless they're really special."

"Well, he's special to me too. He's met my brothers and their friends. He also met my best friends. They came up here for about a week."

"That's nice. Well, Justin's a great kid you know."

"I know. He's really sweet. I love that about him."

His grandpa grinned. "That's how we raised him."

"Yeah, you guys did a good job at that. He told me about always spending time with you guys. He loves you guys so much."

"He better," she said laughing.

Justin returned and we finished eating. Jazzy asked me to take her to the swings, so I did. I happily ran around with her and pushed her on the swing. After a while, Justin joined us with Jaxon. We all ran around together and played.

Eventually, the two kids got tired of us and went to play with someone else. As I subconsciously walked after them, my feet suddenly left the ground. I screamed and laughed as Justin spun me around. I laid my head back, enjoying this moment.

Suddenly, I was on the floor, with Justin on top of me. We were both laughing hysterically. He rolled off of me, but his hands were on my waist so that I rolled on top of him. I quickly kissed him and rolled off, but he rolled on top of me again. And it went on like that for a few minutes – rolling on top of each other. We kept laughing, until I suddenly rolled into a little girls' leg and she fell down on top of us.

We quickly untangled ourselves and got the little girl up and safe. As she ran away, Justin and I began laughing again.

By about 4:30, everybody helped pack up the food. It was time to leave to his cousin's house for the party. Jazzy and Jaxon rode with his parents, we it was just Justin and I in the car. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Today was great. Thank you so much for bringing me."

"It only made it better that you were there."

"You know, I love your family. They're so nice."

"I know."

I bit down on my lip. "I love you."

He looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "I love you too."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing. It was just… out of the blue."

"Well, now you know how I feel," I said while giggling.

He laughed. We started driving up a path, and he turned onto a street in a rich looking neighborhood. He pulled up to a big house; but then again, all the houses were big.

People watched the huge television in the living room. Others roamed outside, drinking a beer or two. Some people had even jumped in the pool. Little kids ran around all over the place. The owners of the house also had games all over, and I mean the arcade games. It was like they stole them brand new from the arcade. Each of them was taken, so I didn't get to play one.

While Justin was playing pool with his uncles, his cousin Kevin hung out with me. He was only a year older than Justin and I. He was also easy to talk to, so I didn't feel awkward talking to him like I did with his other cousins.

"So, how did you and Justin meet?"

"I just moved here a few weeks ago. My friend that lives down the street introduced me to him."

"Really? Well, that's nice. How long have you guys been together?"

"Almost a month."

He nodded to himself. "Cool. Has he met your family?"

"Yup. My two brothers live back in California, but they came with a few friends and visited."

"They brought they're friends?"

"Yeah. Im pretty close with their friends. They're like older brothers to me, also."

Justin came over to us and sat down next to me, intertwining our fingers.

"What you guys talking about?"

"You," Kevin and I answered in unison. We looked at each other and laughed while Justin stared at us oddly.

"Okay," Justin said slowly. "Well, we're gonna leave soon, all right?"

"Sure. What time?"

"About 30 minutes."

"Okay."

He quickly gave me a kiss and went to hang out with some other family members. Kevin and I talked a little bit more, but after a while I got up, going to play with his little cousins. Kevin followed me, helping me I guessed. He stayed very close to me for the next thirty minutes.

Justin unexpectedly picked me up from behind and carried me outside.

"What are you doing?" I asked, laughing.

"It's time to go." I noticed that his tone was serious.

"You don't need to carry me."

He didn't reply. He continued walking to his car then put me down when we got there.

"What about Jazzy and Jaxon?"

"They're riding with my parents."

He got in the car, so I copied. He started the engine and sped out the driveway quickly.

"What's wrong, Justin?"

He was quiet for a moment, then pounded on the steering wheel. "Kevin."

"What about him?"

"What, you didn't notice him checking you out and flirting with you?"

"No, I didn't."

"Well, he was. I don't understand why everyone tries to take my girlfriend's away from me!"

"He's done this before?"

"Yeah," he said curtly. "That's why I never bring my girlfriends to meet my family. I brought you because I love you. But I didn't think about him."

"Well, im sorry. I didn't notice."

"Its alright," he muttered.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Im not mad at you. Im mad at him."

I placed my hand in his. "Well don't be. Nothing happened."

He relaxed his shoulders no longer tense.

He turned on the radio, and sang along proudly to the song. I smiled and laughed at him, happy that he was happy. That was all I wanted.

The song ended. "Do you have to go home?"

"Yes, why?"

"I wanted to spend more time with you."

"I guess we could go to our meadow for a while. I'll just tell my mom that the party was longer then expected."

He grinned. "Okay."

As we walked past the trail and to the meadow, I felt a little creeped out. Walking through the woods late at night was creepy. I know I've done it before, but Justin and I were quiet as we walked this time.

We crossed the creek and sat at the edge of the hill, looking down on the city. I was still amazed by the wonderful view.

"You know, you did great today. My family really liked you. They told me themselves."

"Really?"

"Yeah. They said to bring you again next time."

"I'd be glad to. Your family is great."

"Yeah, they are."

I leaned my head on his shoulder. He put his hand under my chin, making me look at him. He kissed me lightly and slowly. I deepened the kiss. He leaned more into me, gently pushing me onto the grass. He carefully climbed on top of me, his hands on my waist. I locked my fingers into his hair, pulling him closer to me. His tongue swiped my lips; I parted my mouth and our tongues intertwined.

I felt sparks, like I always did. My mind wandered off, leaving my head spinning. I didn't pay attention to what was happening, but when I did, Justin was shirtless and he was pressed gently against me. I smiled into the kiss, loving the feeling of him so close.

His lips left mine, giving me a chance to breathe. He kissed my jaw line and continued down my neck.

"Justin…"

"Hmm?"

"Stop. You know we can't do this," I whispered.

He looked at me sadly then rested his head on my chest.

"I know…" he muttered.

I stroked his hair softly. "Im sorry."

"It's alright. I don't think im fully ready yet, either. But I just wanna do it already, you know?"

"Yeah…"

"I love you, though, no matter what," he said quietly, lifting his head up to look me in the eye.

I continued playing with his hair. "I love you, too."

"Should we go now?"

I nodded. He sighed and slowly got off me, then held his hand out to help me up. He put his shirt back on. When we got in the car, he turned the heater on. I felt warm instantly.

"So, what do you wanna do tomorrow?" he asked.

"I don't know. Let's hang out with Joanne and Ryan and them. We haven't seen them in forever."

He smiled. "Will do. How about the beach? Just our group of friends. It'll be nice."

"Yeah, it will."

"Just tell Joanne. I'll tell Ryan and the other guys. Joanne could bring some of the girls that you haven't met yet."

"What if they don't like me?"

He took his eyes off the road and looked at me. "They will. They hang out with us. They're not like the other girls at that party. I promise."

"Alright."

"Plus, they're not the jealous type. They won't hate you because you're with me."

I looked into his eyes and found no doubt, so I believed him. He intertwined our fingers and leaned his head back against the seat. He looked exhausted.

"I could drive if you want. You look tired."

"No, it's all right."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

I quickly kissed his cheek when he dropped me off and went inside. It was late, so I thought my parents would have been sleeping. But I noticed the kitchen light on and heard them talking, so I went to talk to them.

"Hey guys. Why are you still up?" I asked.

"Oh, hi sweetie. How was your day?" my mom asked.

"Good. I had fun. Justin's family is really nice."

"Well that's good."

"So, why are you guys up so late?"

My mom held up an envelope. I walked over to her and grabbed it. when I opened it, I took out one airline ticket.

"What's this?" I asked.

"You can go visit San Francisco. Your dad sent the ticket. He misses you already."

"For how long?"

"Well, he wanted you to stay the rest of the summer. But I told him about Justin. So, you can back whenever. And use the tickets whenever."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Can you remind me to call him in the morning? Im too tired to call him right now."

"Sure, sweetie. Go get some sleep."

"Goodnight."

I ran up the stairs and into my room, still holding the airline tickets. I grabbed my phone and called Jacob.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Wow. I just realized I haven't talked to you in days."

"I was gonna call you but I didn't know if you were busy."

"I have been busy. Anyways, guess what?"

"What?"

"My dad sent me airline tickets to visit! Whenever I want and as long as I want!"

"REALY? Don't like to me, Leah."

"YES REALLY! Im so excited! But when am I gonna go there? And how long?"

"Stay the whole summer! And get here as soon as possible!"

"Jacob, I have Justin to worry about, remember?"

"Oh, boohoo. Who cares? You'll see him everyday for the whole school year. You won't see me at all! And im not used to that. Im still getting used to it."

"I know. I miss you so much! And everybody else there. I'll probably be there in like a week."

"YES! Make it as soon as possible! PLEASE!"

I laughed. "Okay, I promise I'll be there on later than a week. I still have to talk about it with Justin."

"Seriously, who cares? Just come down here! Well, I guess you're tired. So goodnight."

"Goodnight." I frowned as the line went dead. Why had he hung up so suddenly?

I called Kj.

"LEAH! WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN? You don't reply to my texts, or answer my calls. What the hell has been going on?"

"Im sorry. I've been kind of busy. Anyways, I have good news."

"What is it?" he grumbled, still upset that I hadn't talked to him in so long.

"My dad sent me airline tickets. I can go down there whenever I want for as long as I want. Well, I mean all summer."

"WHAT? YES! YOU'RE COMING DOWN HERE! FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER! Well, what are you doing still talking to me? Call the airport and find the next flight over here!"

"WAIT. I've got to talk to Justin first. Plus, I still have to pack and think things through. And-"

"What the hell is there to think through? Everyone you love is down here! And we all miss you like crazy. You've gotta hurry and come down here, Leah! Im practically going crazy."

"I know. Don't worry, I promise to be there in no later than a week. Okay?"

"NO, not okay. Be here no less than 3 days. Please?"

"I'll have to see, Kj."

"C'mon Leah. You only have the summer to be with us. Please? We won't see you probably until Christmas or something. Please?"

He continued to please. "Fine. Im not sure how long I'll stay down there, though."

"Stay the whole summer! Is there honestly a problem with that?"

"Yes. I have a boyfriend here, Kj. Am I suppose to just leave him for 2 months when I've barely spent a month with him?"

"Yes," he said as if it was the most obvious answer.

"Kj. I really like this guy, okay? And he really likes me."

"I know, I know. But still, you'll see him more than you'll see us. Aren't we more important down here?"

"Yes… look, I'll call you again tomorrow or something, all right? Im exhausted. It's like 1 in the morning here, and I had a long day."

"Alright, alright. Goodnight best. Love you."

"I love you too. Goodnight."

I had quickly changed while I was on the phone with Kj, so I slipped into bed and snuggled into the blankets. I thought about how I would tell Justin, already picturing his disappointed face. I soon fell asleep.

When my mom knocked on my door, it was bright as could be in my room. She smiled apologetically at me and put a tray of food on my bedside table.

"Im off today, so I thought I'd make you breakfast. Oh, and don't forget to call your dad."

I moaned and threw the blankets over my head. It was too sunny in here and my eyes hadn't adjusted.

"Thanks mom," I muttered.

"C'mon sweetie. It's already 11. you need to get up or you'll get lazy."

I took her advice and threw the covers off me. I sat up and put the tray on my lap. She had cooked my favorite – chocolate chip pancakes. I smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks mom. Where's Steven?"

"He's here too. He called in sick since I don't get many days off."

"Oh." I took a bite of my pancakes. "I called Jacob and Kj last night. I told them about the tickets. They sure want me down there."

"Well, how long are you gonna stay there?"

I shrugged and sipped my orange juice. "Im considering the whole summer. But what about Justin, mom? What am I gonna tell him?"

"Honey, that's your choice." She scooted onto my bed and lay next to me, watching the TV. "Ask him to go with you if you really don't wanna leave him."

"I don't know if I want him to come with me, mom. But I also don't wanna see him all sad when I tell him. So what do I do?"

She put her arm around me as I took another bite and rubbed my arm reassuringly.

"Just tell him. And see how he handles it. Then milk it from there."

"Right. Well, im gonna hang out with him later so I'll tell him then."

"What are you guys gonna do?"

I shrugged. "The beach. We're gonna meet up with some other people."

"Alright."

I soon finished my food. My mother took the tray and got up, going downstairs. I lay down for a moment, staring at the ceiling. I finally got the strength to get up and take a shower. I called Justin afterwards.

"Hello beautiful," he said.

"Hello. What time are you gonna pick me up."

"I'll be there in an 30 minutes? I think the other are already there. Its only us and few other people that need to show up. Are you ready?"

"I'll be ready by then. Just call me when you're here."

"Okay."

"Wait, should I wear a bathing suit under?"

"Yeah. It's hot, so we'll probably be swimming."

"Okay. Well, see you later."

"Bye."

I picked out a bathing suit, then threw on some shorts and a crop top. I quickly put on sun block and grabbed a bag to put clothes and my other things in. soon enough, the doorbell rang. I ran downstairs, swiftly telling my mom and step dad goodbye, then ran out the door and into Justin's car.

"Hello love."

"Hi." I quickly kissed him on the cheek and put on my seat belt. He intertwined our fingers subconsciously, and I could tell he felt just as I did – happy.
