The drink you spilt all over me
"Lover's Spit" left on repeat
My mom and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy getting old
JJ and I had gotten closer if that was even possible. We hung out every day that we could, drinking, listening to music, swimming in the marsh, etc. I'd never been happier in my life.
It wasn't a surprise when he asked me to be his girlfriend. My parents had gone out of town and trusted me enough to let me stay home. JJ surprised me by picking me up for a midnight drive. He'd driven us to a private-ish beach that was beautiful in the moonlight. The sand was white and cold under my feet, the slight ocean breeze brought goosebumps to my skin. We sat down and he held me close.
His heartbeat was slow and calming.
The waves were crashing excitedly onto the beach.
The salty air filled my senses and the dark sky was filled with twinkling stars.
JJ pulled me out of my trance by saying my name. I looked deep in his eyes and I saw nothing but pure love. He gave me the look, the one that made time slow down.
"We're almost out of highschool." He said.
"Yeah. Crazy, right?" He nodded in agreement.
"I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I'm probably not going to college." He sighed, looking back out to the ocean.
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time
"But what I do know, is that I want to do whatever it is with you." His eyes looked deep into my soul, making heat rush to my cheeks and deep in my stomach.
"I love you." He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you." JJ's hand cupped my cheek, bringing me closer to him.
"I wouldn't want anything less," I smiled and leaned in for a kiss.
"Good." He murmed and placed both hands on either side of my face.
"I want to stay here with you, forever." I whispered. My head snuggled into the crook of his neck.
"Me too, bug. Me too."

When we told John B, he just laughed and said he already knew.
"You must think I'm retarded if you thought I didn't notice." John B's smile reached his eyes and ears.
"I've never seen JJ make googly eyes like that with anyone. Come to think of it, I've never seen him nervous to fuck something up in front of someone." He explained. JJ told him to shut his face, but I smiled. I found someone that I could be happy with forever.

JJ was staying with me for the night after I begged my parents to let him. They finally gave in, and now we were watching movies, eating junk, and drinking bottles of soda. A perfect night, if you ask me.
JJ went to move his arm, but ended up spilling his coke on my shirt.
"Shit, my bad, bug." He paused the movie and sat down his drink.
"It's okay, Jay," I smiled. "Let me change really quick." I went to my closet and got a spare shirt.
I turned around to take my shirt off, but JJ stopped me. "Not being shy, are you?" He smirked, putting his hands on my hips.
