May 11: The Beach
Joy's POV:
I sighed contently, reclining in the warm sand of the beach. There was no shortage of sunshine and it bent in odd fashions, reflecting off of the waves. It was all great. The sea, the sand, the sun, I'd almost forgotten it; the serine feeling of home. All of this was made better only by Jerome at my side.
Well, he wasn't 'by my side' right now, but figuratively. Right about now Adam's probably giving Jerome the third degree about our relationship like a good big brother should. Adam'd only gotten home from his junior year in college late last night so today was his first opportunity to strike. It should be interesting to see how that goes, but for now I'm not worrying about it.
The pages under my fingertips were soft like the sand, flipping gently in the slow breeze of early summer and I smiled, pressing my face to the pages and exhaling quietly. It was the perfect temperature here during the summer. Breezy and warm all at once, it was the perfect place to live.
Sand shifted beside me and suddenly warm hands suddenly touched my shoulders, messaging them silently. I sighed out loud, loving the feeling of Jerome's strong fingers.
He laughed at me. "Hello to you too." He greeted, but he dipped down to kiss my shoulders slowly, gently.
I groaned in response, sitting up and smiling at him. "Hey.. how'd it go with Adam?"
He smiled, wrapping his fingers around my wrist. "It went brilliantly. He loves me."
I smirked. "He does, does he?" Half of me was relieved and the other half kind of irritated. Did my only big brother seriously not give him a hard time?
"You seem shocked." He replied slipping his fingers down to cup my face. "I'm lovable."
I laughed. "Of course honey." I replied, leaning my head against his shoulder. "It just seems like my big brother should've given you a hard time, that's all."
He smirked. "He tried, but my charm and wit got the best of him." He answered before pecking my lips slowly.
I laughed against his lips, letting my forehead loll against his. "In other words, Adam's loosing his touch. " I joked before closing the space between our lips again, letting my fingers wrap around the base of his neck, deepening the kiss slightly.
He pulled away just slightly. "Aw, that hurts." He joked right back, faking a pained expression, but I just laughed, kissing him again. "Joy, I'm really beginning to think you only want me for my body." He mumbled against his lips as my fingers slipped under his thin tee shirt.
I smirked in reply. "Would you mind?"
He grinned, kissing me again. "Nope."
Things were still and quiet for a while, us a pile of tangled limbs in the sand. His lips were soft against my skin, skimming down my arms and neck, but not pushing the line. It was all kind of innocent in it's own way and it excited me in a way nothing had before. He made me feel good. Great in fact. The way he touched me, the way he kissed me, the way he smiled at me, the way he laughed with me and talked to me. He was really amazing.
"Joy." He whispered against the nape of my neck, golden hair grazing against my jaw and sending shivers down my spine.
"Yeah?" I replied, reclined against the soft sad and happily looking up at the puffy clouds above head.
He raised his face to look at me, slow grin spreading across his soft lips, pale blue eyes staring into my brown ones. His hands came up to cradle my face in his hands, brushing the hair out of my eyes, kissing me slowly, gently, innocently, perfectly. My heart swelled at the sweetness of his movements, I could barely breath as he pulled away and whispered into my ear, "Marry me."
