Chapter 15

The redheaded female sits stiffly at the immaculate kitchen table, staring at a spot on the wall, and her greens flicker momentarily to the doorway when Justin appears. His distraught appearance overcomes Marianne's initial feelings of anger and betrayal. Closing her eyes, she remembers the timid, lost teen that had stumbled into a disasterous party and charmed the predator known as Jason. At the time all she knew was he had these gorgeous feautures made even more beautiful by his grief. His blues seemed to glow beautiffully from the pain, as if the more his sorrow consumed him the stronger he became. Even now Justin's fear and tortured soul causes his eyes to glow magically. Tearing her eyes away, Marianne studies Andrew.

The brunette's hand possessivly grips Justin's as their bodies are turned towards eachother, and electrifying hazels already alight with love become dangerously bright with the added fire of a challenge. Finally her eyes are unvieled allowing her to see the absolute love and adoration radiating off of Andrew. Immaculate in every way, an emotion that will live on even if it's not returned, yet by being returned is nutured into something delightful.

Without taking her eyes off of the couple, Marianne sips the tea that sits in front of her, and aches with the loss of words that stumble on the edge of her tongue. Would a simple sorry be enough? Could I heal so many wounds with such a small, easy word? Her hands are suddenly engulfed by delicate, warm ones and the familar, comforting scent of her own lover flows over her reminding her the sometimes the simpliest things work best. "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," Marianne whispers.

Hugging Marianne, Justin releases a sigh of relief and adoringly runs his fingers through her untamed curls. Quietly Andrew sits down at the table and glances at the redheaded female before saying, "For Justin's sake, I forgive you." Resignation decorates her face as her greens darken with sorrow, and quietly she admits, "I'll never be able to change my oppinion of you, Andrew, but I'll keep my mouth shut." Taking the seat beside Andrew, Justin grins at Kyle and Dave gesturing for them to sit down. Angelina settles beside Marianne, her blues absorbing everything and calculating everyone's emotions, and giggling she says, "Mrs. Van de Kamp, you have a beautiful home. It's so immaculate." Andrew's mother nods proudly taking her seat and states graciously, "Thankyou."

After breakfast, Andrew tugs Justin upstairs and grins excitedly before kissing the blond. "Come on, we have to leave right now," Andrew says tossing him his shoes and grabbing his wallet. Without saying a word, Justin follows the brunette's lead, and follows Andrew to Mrs. Van de Kamp's car settling uncomfotably in the passenger seat. "Close your eyes," Andrew whispers before tieing a blindfold around his heard covering his curious blues. Warm lips press against Justin's intimately, immediately calming his fears, and his hand curls around the younger teen's. Smiling he hears the faint laughter of children as the car coasts to a stop, and desperately he fumbles with the car door, excited for the adventure to come. "I had Julie and her mom help me by setting everything up," Andrew says, his warm breath caressing Justin's neck as he leads the blond to the spot. Removing the blindfold, Andrew grins as shock enters Justin's blues.

Laid out upon the grass is a blanket with a picnic basket set neatly on one corner. Sitting down, Andrew grins as Justin interlaces their fingers and coaxes Justin onto his back. Their kisses are sweet, yet firm enough to confirm the padssion they both feel. "We just ate, though," Justin says pulling away, the confusion in his tone adorable enough to nearly make Andrew giggle, and the brunette explains, "Look inside." Grinning Justin pulls out chocolate covered strawberries, and a love song mixed CD. "Just dessert and relaxation," Andrew states proudly before pulling out his portable CD player and placing the CD inside. Music blasts from the headphones hung around his neck allowing Justin to hear it also. "I'd do anything for you," Andrew admits shyly feeding a delicious strawberry to Jsutin, and the blond nods smiling replying, "Likewise."

A few hours later, Justin awakens with the sunlight streaming over him through the clouds, and Andrew laying pleasantly beside him with his head upon his shoulder. Gently he removes Andrew from ontop of him, and looking down at the brunette's peaceful features he wonders how he can love one person so much. As hazels focus on Justin revealing their love and warmth, the blond leans down and passionately kisses Andrew. The younger teen melts into his embrace, practicly pulling Justin into his body, and his hands desperately grip Andrew's shirt also trying to drown in him. Whimpering Andrew pulls away from Justin, and running his hands down the blond's chest says, "I love you." Smiling Justin lightly bites the younger teen's neck before saying, "I love you, too." Helping Andrew to his feet, Justin glances at the kids playing not to far away and asks, "Is this it?" Shaking his head, Andrew says, "We still have to go to the beach."

Surprisingly hardly anyone is at the beach when they arrive, but that's how Andrew wanted it. Taking Justin's hand, he leads the blond across the sand and to the rocks that sit slightly in the water, and Justin's face breaks into a large, goofy grin as he pulls his t-shirt off. "What are you doing," Andrew asks when Jsutin strips down to his boxers. Laughing the blond jumps into the water saying, "Swimming." Pulling his own clothes off except his boxers, Andrew jumps into the water and clings to the laughing blue eyed teen. With Justin's hands cupping his butt, Andrew wraps his legs around his neck. Water droplets glisten on Justin's golden flesh, and Andrew desperately suckles on the older teen's neck. "Should we go visit your grandmother?" Shocked blues lock with comforting hazels, and Justin shakes his head inquiring, "Whatever for?" Shrugging Andrew briefly kisses him then explains, "So she knows your out of the hospital." "She knows."

Laying out on the sand with the sunlight dancing over their skin, Justin and Andrew are content. Glancing at the blond, Andrew smiles taking his hand and intertwining their fingers asks, "Are you happy?" Lifting up on his elbow, and gazing at Andrew with an adorin look in his blues he says, "Yes, I'm happy."
