Love and Consequences.

Chapter 2

The bright sun shone against my skin, and managed to creak through my eye-lids. 

I was on the couch still, from where I fell asleep, but Justin was out of sight. I sat up straight, and rubbed my eyes, smudging my day-old mascara. 

There was a note on the coffee table in front of me. It read: Emily, you looked so peaceful, and I didn’t want to wake you. I’m off to an interview, but I’ll be back soon, Love Justin xxx

I smiled gently, lifting myself off the couch. I was the only one in the house, so I quickly made a light breakfast, and then went upstairs to have a shower. 

When I was dressed and clean, I hopped downstairs to get my phone. No messages, as usual. Just the screensaver of Justin and me from a month or so ago. He looked beautiful in the photo, and I couldn’t help but stare it for a couple of minutes. Until I heard a sudden movement from the upstairs. I immediately yelled out: “Justin is that you?” 

No reply. 

“Justin this isn’t funny.” 

I paced up the staircase, twiddling my thumbs in curiosity. 

“Justin.” 

I checked room after room, but they remained empty. I jolted downstairs, repeating in my mind that it was probably nothing, but I couldn’t help but freak out slightly. 

A rattle of spoons, made my heart skip a beat. “Justin, I’m not even joking, I am going to kill you.” 

I jumped into the kitchen, expecting to see Justin, but all my eyes caught sight of, was the open cutlery draw. I took a step back, covering my mouth in horror, and then my back hit something. I turned around sharply and screamed only to find Justin standing there, giggling. “Justin! I hate you” I trembled, still frightened. 

He pulled me into his chest for a hug, “Sorry,” he giggled. 

I hit him on the stomach. “Ow.” he remarked sarcastically. 

But I hit him harder, and then his mouth opened to the shape of an O. 

He started tickling me for revenge. 

“Stop.. I,” I laughed, it started to hurt, from how much I was laughing. 

His smile widened, and this was pleasurable for him. 

I started walking backwards, nearly out of breath until I was pinned against a wall. He stopped then, and stared at me for a while. Looking into my eyes, his smile dropped slightly, into a crooked smile. 

And then he placed his hands on my waist.

Then he bent down and kissed me for a long time. I wrapped my arms around his chest and he moved his hands to my face, and his thumbs began to circle my cheeks. He pulled away slowly, for breath, and laughed quietly. 

“You’re so beautiful,” he smiled. 

“So are you” I replied, moving my hands to his neck. 

“What do you want to do today?” 

“I don’t mind, got anything planned?” 

“Well yes.” he said, taking my hand and running upstairs. 

“Where.. Where are we going?”

“It’s just you and me here,” he smiled cheekily. 

“I know Justin,” 

“So.. go get changed into your swimsuit, and we’re going swimming.” he said stopping half way up the stairs. 

I didn’t realize that he was wearing board shorts, so I nodded and ran upstairs. 

I had just washed my hair, but I didn’t care. 

I rushed downstairs, in a singlet and shorts. 

“Lets go,” I said in deeper voice. 

“Okay,” he sounded eager, and jumped straight off the couch. 

We walked out the back way, into the sand. He took my hand, and ran towards the water. 

He stopped and pulled his shirt off, and I slipped out of my shirt and singlet. 

I couldn’t help but stare at his perfect body. He must of seen that I was looking at it, because he started teasing and saying “Ooh, Emily, you want this” pointing to his chest. 

“You want it, come get it” he winked and sprinted off into the water. 

I followed after him, and then jumped on his back. I kissed him on the cheek and whispered, “I got you, can I have my prize?” 

“Sure.. Just wait one..” he said, rummaging around in the water, than flicking water in my face. 

I jumped off his back, and splashed him back. I was laughing at how silly we both were, and in fact, I had never been more happier in my whole life. 

We ended up staying in the water until it got slightly dark, but then we went and sat on the balcony. 

We sat cross-legged, facing each other, and he was playing with my hands. 

“I’m so glad I get to spend these next weeks with you” he kissed me on the lips. 

“Me too.”

He smiled, and I got lost in his big, chocolate brown eyes. He wiped a hair out of my face, and whispered “How’d I get so lucky?” 

I started blushing, and looked at the floor. He picked my chin up with his fingertips and then kissed me. 

He pulled away slowly. 

I was lost in the moment, and it was so quiet, but there were no words needed said. 

“Go have a shower, and get dressed.” he smiled at me. 

“What for?” I asked curiously, getting lost in his eyes again. 

“A Surprise” he said holding my face in his hands. 

“Alright,” I replied, kissing him quickly on the lips, before standing up. 

I had no clue, what he was planning, but I just went along with it, and made my way to the shower. 

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think :) x
