Chapter 9

Diego stood watching Justin as he talked to his friends about his new girlfriend. What was wrong with this kid? Didn't he have any taste at all in woman? This girl he's with wasn't even pretty, and yet Justin doesn't care. It made Diego want to barf every time he watched them flirt and kiss and hug. Diego shook his head disgusted and turned around to walk away from the two lovebirds.

Once he turned the corner, Lucifer pulled him to the side.

"What are you doing?" asked Diego.

"We need to talk," said Lucifer and Diego instantly nodded.

"How are our two lovebirds doing?" asked Lucifer.

"They're just peachy," growled Diego in a joking manner. "Or didn't you hear the news?"

"What news?"

"Justin, the traitor, just asked Becky out and now they're what is called an 'official couple'." Diego made air quotes around official couple as he said it.

"WHAT?!" screamed Lucifer rage burning in his eyes.

"Yep," Diego replied.

"That little idiot! Doesn't he know better than to ask a human girl out?!"

"Apparently not."

"Ugh!" Lucifer walked over to a nearby wall and then pounded his fists against it. Diego watched on silently as Lucifer continued to let out his frustration. When he had calmed down, Lucifer turned fully around to look at Diego.

"So what do you want me to do now?" questioned Diego.

"I want you to break them up," said Lucifer.

"How?"

"I don't care how! Just do it!" demanded Lucifer.

"yes, sire," said Diego. He stared at Lucifer determination in his eyes. Yes, he was going to break them up. No matter what.

It was on a warm Saturday after noon that Becky had found herself sitting in between Justin's legs as he ran his fingers through her soft brown hair, which Becky had put down due to tthe humid heat. One of his hands was on her waist tracing small circled now and again as they relaxed in the cool shadow of the large tree that they were sitting underneath.

"Hey, Justin?"

"Hmm," he whispered in her ear.

"Why did you choose me out of all the girls in school?" Becky asked him. Justin looked at Becky in shock; completely bewildered she would ask that kind of a question.

"Why does it matter?" asked Justin.

Becky shrugged. "I don't know. I'm just curious I guess."

"Beck, I chose you. It doesn't matter why I didn't choose any of the other girls but you got something that they don't have."

"Like what?" asked Becky looking Justin straight in the eyes now. "I'm not skinny, I'm not pretty, I'm definitely do not look like a super model, I-mmph." Justin placed a finger on Becky's lips. This caused her to stop her from continuing and babbling on. He chuckled softly and put a strand of her hair behind her hair.

"You're beautiful," he said. Becky looked up at him straight into his eyes. She saw the honesty and the love for her in his eyes and she grinned.

"You mean it?"

"yes." And with that he leaned down and kissed her. This time Becky lightly drew her tongue across his lips and he parted his. A bolt of excitement went through her as soon as their tongues met. She wrapped her arms around him as he her as they continued deepening the kiss till they broke away from lack of oxygen. They stared deeply into each other's eyes.

"Becky?"

"Yes Justin?"

"Can I tell you something?" he asked her. Becky's heart quickened as she slowly nodded.

"I love you." At first her heart had stopped for one magical moment before she threw her arms back around Justin and kissed him passionately on his lips.

They parted. "I love you too," Becky said.

"You do?'

"I do." Justin gave her a huge smile before they leaned in and kissed once more.
