"Thats a nice name, Mikaela." He compliments me, and chuckles. I look down at his chest, to examine the cut.
It's deep but not deadly.
I say to myself in my head.
" Thanks," I smile and notice his teal blue eyes. I almost loose myself in them.
"this might sting a little." I warn him before I rub the alcohol on him. He grabs my hand and inner locks our fingers. I try not to smile, but can't stop myself from blushing.
"ssssss" he winced in pain. I pull my hand away as soon as I could. I reach over to get the band aids.
"Clifford or Elmo?" I ask.
" Elmo all day!" He says loudly. I laugh at his courageous choice. I face the opposite direction closing the first aid kit.
" All don-" I turn, and his lips are touching mine. My first instinct should have been to push him away, punch him, anything. But I didn't do anything. All there was, was him, and I kinda liked it. I new I had to stop, so I nudged my head back, like I needed air.
" Thanks." He says and laughs. I look up at him and notice the smallest freackles he has and laugh.
"Anytime sugar." I say smoothly, and walk out side with everyone. I walked out and see Eric.
"Hey Makk!" He says while giving me a hug.
"Hey, What's going on?" I ask.
"Nothing much, but me and my girl."
He pulls Klover up close and he gives her a kiss. I seems like I'm the only one not with anyone. Even though a guy I just met kissed me earlier, but I don't think that counts.
"So I see, you've met Justin?" Eric asks out of the blue.
"How did you know?"
"He hasn't stopped staring at you since you came over hear." Robert and Eric say the same thing in unison. The three of us girls laugh.
The music slows down, and Billy Currington's, Must be doing something right, comes on. Everyone yells with joy.
Justin walks my way,
Oh s.hit, what are you doing?
"Hey, ummm," he rubs the back of his neck.
"Do you wanna dance?" He asked. I could tell he was nervous.
"Yeah." I say and take his hand.
He pulls me close and I put one hand on his shoulder, and one in his hand. I see Klo, and Eric on the right hand side of me and Bell and Robert on the left side of me.
"A women is a mystery, a man just can't understand."
Justin whispers and sings along in me ear.
Sometimes all it takes to please her, is the touche of your hand.
I feel his warm hand slip down my back.
And sometimes you gotta take it slow, and hold her all night long.
I gave in and lay my head on his chest. He grabs my hand, and puts on his shoulder. The warmth of his body was addicting.
Heaven knows, there's so many ways, man,can go wrong.
There was nothing that could ruin this moment.
Must be doing something right, I just heard you sigh. Lean into my kiss and close, those deep blue, need you eyes. Don't know what I did to earn a love like this but baby I ... Must be doing something right...
I could feel the rhythm as we swayed back and forward. His arms around my waist, holding me dearly. suddenly I feel myself being pulled away from him.
"What the F.UCK are you doing with my girlfriend!"
"Johnny? What are you doing here?"
"Shut up, this isn't about you!"
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend" Justin proclaimed.
"I don't, he's drunk and thinks that I'm gonna take his sorry a.as back."
Johnny raised his had, and slapped me.
" I said shut up, you stupid b.itch!" When I got up I was bleeding. Justin punched him, repeatedly. I ran to my car ashamed...
I drove away and cried, I couldn't stop. I felt so embarrassed, and stupid. When I finally got into town it's 10:48, and the city's lights are all on. I park somewhere downtown,that's probably illeagal and change into my shorts and put on my grey jacket. I walk the pier all they way out and sit with my feet in the water. I look at my reflection, and notice that something is moving in the back. I turn to see Justin, sitting adjacent to me.
"Hey," sniff sniff.
"What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?" I ask confused.
"I needed to make sure you were okay." He scooted closer to me.
"I'm fine." No I wasn't, I felt like s.hit, and was tired of it all. I just wanted to get away, and when I finally did, someone had to snatch it away from me.
"Look at me, and tell me." He demanded kindly. I looked down not wanting to show my bruised face. He picked up my chin and looked at me with his teal eyes,
" Look at me, and tell me" I pulled away and put my head in my lap. He got up and what sounded like he walked away. I couldn't believe it was true. Until a splash of water soaked me. Justin appears from the water.
"Come on, get in!" I just looked at him with a blank stare.
"Don't make me go and get you!" He said playfully. I took my jacket off and jumped in. When I came up he was gone.
Where the f.uck did he go?
"rawrrrrrr" he jumped up from behinde me.
"Give me your arm." I did what he asked.
He pulled out a metal bracelet and put it on me.
"I believe this belongs to you." I didn't know what to say.
"Oh my God thank you."
I laughed and hugged him. Next thing I new, my legs were straddling him and my arms were around his neck. I layed my forehead against his, and took deep breaths. My fingers played with hair, and scratched the back of his head. His hands held me close, and kept me safe. I closed my eyes and, listened to the water. To the traffic. To the wind. To our heart beats in sync with each other.
"look at me, and tell me." The repeated.
I pulled my hands up to his neck, and slowly, but passionately kissed him. He lifted me in the water, and I smiled mid-kiss
I couldn't figure out what's going on. I just met him, and now I'm making out with him. I wasn't drunk, I wasn't high, I was perfectly fine.
God what is he doing to me?
