Part 5

Just as the door is about to close you say" Justin! Wait!" he turns slowly. Looking at you, smiling big when he finally replies, "Yes?" This is it. You had given into him. You were starting to like him. Diego was the last thing on your mind as you said, "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Justin pondered for a second. Standing by your door as you sat in your bed biting your lip. He looked at you, smiled, and said, "I don't want to get us in trouble. So I'll stay in here until you fall asleep. Maybe another day we can spend the whole night together." You smiled at this answer as Justin crawled into your bed. When he first laid down you faced him. You had a small conversation with him, quietly giggling and smiling. After a few minutes he said, "Go to bed. You need some sleep." and kissed your forehead. You rolled over. Biting your lip. Wanting to kiss him but deciding it'd be best not to. Justin cuddled close to you with his arm around your waist as you drifted off to sleep. Once you were asleep Justin got up, whispered, "sweet dreams beautiful. See you in the morning" kissed your head, and walked out of your room closing the door behind him. 

 

The next morning you woke up to Justin singing in his room. You slowly got up and began to try to figure out what song he was singing. As you got closer you could hear him singing the lyrics to Down To Earth. You never really listened to the lyrics to his songs. They were really powerful. You really liked this song. As he began to sing the last notes you walked into his room. He looked at you and smiled, turning kind of pink. His hair was wet and all he had on was a towel around his waist. You leaned on the door way, smiling, with your arms crossed and said, "What are we going to do today?" Justin looks at you smiling and replied, "I was thinking we could go to the beach. Just you and me." You walked  into his room and sat on his bed, thinking about what he said. "That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun" You said slightly smiling. "Then go get dressed." Justin said. You got up and walked into the bathroom. As you looked in the mirror you realized you literally had gotten up and just walked in there. Your hair was a mess and you just looked like a mess. You sighed as you got into the shower. 

 

After you had done your hair and make up and had gotten dressed you walked back into Justin's room. When you saw him you smiled. He looked gorgeous. You walked up to him and he wrapped his arms around you. You held him close to you. Justin kissed the top of your head and said, "Ready?" You just nodded. Justin grabbed your hand as you put your beach bag on your other shoulder. You two walked down the stairs and out of the house hand in hand. When you reached his range rover he opened the door for you. When the car started an Usher song immediately came on. The whole way to the beach you and Justin were talking and laughing and playing car games and singing the songs on the radio. This was a good start to the amazing day ahead. 

 

Once at the beach Justin opened the car door for you and you two walked onto the amazing white sand together with his arm around you. As Justin set up the site with a blanket, umbrella, food basket, etc. You took off your clothes so that you only had on your bikini. Justin watched with eyes wide open as you did so. After you finished Justin said, "Wow. You have an amazing body." You just smiled and laughed. Once Justin finished he took off his shirt. All you could do was stare. He was beautiful. Justin walked up to you and put his arms around you and threw you over his shoulder as he began walking towards the water. You screamed and laughed as you slapped his butt yelling "Put me down! Justin!" Justin gently put you down in cold waters that were just above your knees. As he set you down you splashed him with the cool water. Then a huge water fight began between the two of you. You and Justin spent the next three hours in the ocean. Laughing and splashing and just having fun. The silly games you played and all the smiles that crossed your face only made you like him more. At one point Justin even lost his shorts and you had to go find them for him. Also your top would almost come off and you had to trust Justin to tie it, which he did every time. 

 

After you and Justin were done playing in the water you sat down under the umbrella to eat. You had a PB&J sandwiches and some milk. After eating a slow song came on the radio and Justin wanted to dance. You accepted. On the beach, in nothing but your swimsuits, you and Justin slow danced. It was amazing. How every step was natural and flowed. The look in Justin's eyes as they met yours. You liked it. It was perfect. After the song you and Justin went and played a few games like frisbee and beach volleyball. Never keeping track of the score, just having fun and laughing. You liked being active and having fun with Justin. It never failed to make you smile and feel happy. After you finished up the last game you went back to the site. Justin laid down and motioned for you to lay by him. You laid your head on his chest as he put his arm around you. You had a long conversation with Justin. Making little jokes and getting to know him a little better. Just laying there on the beach listening to his racing heart and his soothing voice, fingers interlocked. You and Justin stayed to watch the sunset on the beach. It was so beautiful. So perfect. As the sun disappeared behind the horizon Justin kissed you. You fell back. Justin falling on top of you. Just as you hit the floor it hit you. You couldn't do this. It was against your morals. You still had a boyfriend. You pulled away, smiling. Justin's big brown eyes staring into yours. "It's dark. We should start heading home." Was all you could think to say. You two gathered up your stuff and got into the car. The whole ride home you pretended to sleep so you could think. Do you really want Justin? Is he really not going to hurt you? You loved being with him. Being in his arms. And that kiss, was amazing. It could've been better. It was true. You were falling for him. You wanted him. 

 

As you felt the car turn off you woke up. "I'm going to go get ready to shower." You said kissing Justin on the cheek and running up into your room. During your long thought on the ride home you made a decision. You were going to break up with Diego. You grabbed your phone off your nightstand and dialed his number, staring at the screen. It would take a lot to do this. And you wanted to take a moment to think to be sure it's what you wanted. After a moment your eyes welled up with tears as you hit the talk button. With every ring another tear fell down your face. You were scared, nervous. Just as he said hello there was a knock on your door. You put him on hold, taking a big breath and wiping the tears off of your face as you opened the door. It was Pattie. "This is for you." She said handing you a box. "It's from uhhh Diego Littleton?" Taking the box you said "Thank you" and closed the door. You opened the box only to see a beautiful card on top. On the front it read "To my beautiful Karina" You opened the card and your eyes filled up with tears as you read 

"Babe, I love you. I can't believe you won't be here for our one year anniversary. You're the one I want to marry and give my virginity to. I can't believe you gave me the opportunity to make you happy. I am so grateful for that. I don't deserve a girl like you. I'm so lucky that you put up with all my crap and still continue to love me.  This is going to be a long summer without you. I wish I could be with you baby. I love you. And I am grateful to have you. I'll never break your heart and I trust you with mine. We will grow up to tell our kids that a first love really can last. Please don't forget that you are my world. My light. My everything. I need you. I love you Karina. I hope you like this surprise. -Diego"

You felt your heart drop after reading the card and began to go through the box. There was a beautiful diamond necklace and a ring with your birthstone. Along with the wilted flower from your first date with him, a picture of you and him at homecoming, all the little notes you gave him in class, another picture of you and him kissing, the napkin you firt gave your number to him on, a paper filled with all your insiders, and a current picture of him. You couldn't help but cry and feel guilty. This boy was in love with you. He's given you his all. You still loved him. He made you happy. How could you replace that with Justin? Was Justin even worth losing him? Just then you heard him say through the phone, "Hello? Karina? You still there?"
