Josh P.O.V.
I'm taking Collins to New Jersey tomorrow. But I still have to handle one thing before we go. I stop my car in front of a Motel called Purple Swallow. I get out of the car and walk into the front office. The girl at the front desk smiles at me.
"Hi" she says.
"Hi, I'm looking for room 3B."
"It's occupied at the moment but I can get you another." she says grinning ear to ear.
"Oh, I know. My friend is in there. He asked to to stop by."
"Oh. Ok." she hands me the keys. "It's right up the steps to the left. Second door"
"Thank you" I say walking away with a smile.
"Your so welcome!" she screams.
I walk up the steps and turn left.
Room 3B.
I konock on the door. No one answers. I knock again. The door opens. It's Raheem.
The next day.
Collins P.O.V.
The next morning I wake up refreshed. My clock says it's 8:45 am. Josh should be here in an hour. I hop out of bed and head for the shower. After getting out I pick out the perfect outfit. Double layer sheer high low skirt, black bandeau bra, and my Zara ethnic slippers. I add some accessories and lip gloss and I'm ready to go. I look over at the clock. 9:28 am. Uggg.
I guess I can check my suitcase.
I grab my pink suitcase and throw it on my bed. I unzip it and look inside.
Bathing suit. Check. Hair Stuff. Check. Pads. Incase. Check. Shirts. Check. Skirts. Check. Shorts Check.....Ummm... Underwear, Bras. Check. Sandals and Sneaks. Check. Phone Charger. Hmmm. I feel like I'm missing something.
I close the suitcase. I don't know where Josh is taking me so I have to be prepared. I sigh. And look at the time. 9:34 am.
I grab my suitcase and head downstairs. My dad is in the kitchen cooking. Ew.
"Hi Dad" I say slouching on the couch.
He turns. Then takes a second look. "What the hell are you wearing?"
I look down at my bare stomach. I should have known.
"Dad, it's a bandeau bra."
"I don't care what the hell it is. Bras are not meant to be exposed."
"It's fashion Dad. Where is Josh?"
He sighs. "God, why am I letting you do this? Your so anxious. He's going to be here."
"I'm excited. Our first anniversary and-" I dash up the steps.
That's what I forgot. Josh's presents.
I grab his stuff and run back downstairs. I hear a horn honk outside. I look at me dad. He smiles at me.
"I love you baby girl" He kisses me on my forehead. "Have a good time"
My dad walks me to the doorway as I skip to Josh. He helps me with my suitcase.
"Hi beautiful" he says with a smile.
"Hi" I say getting in the car. Josh puts my bags in the trunk and we start the car. I wave at my dad who is still outside. He waves back as we pull off.
"You ready"
"Yes sir" I say with a smile.

When I wake up, it's really sunny. I see the sign we pass by. It reads: Welcome to Cape May
Immediately I turn to Josh who is grinning ear to ear.
"Omg Josh! I can't believe it!" I'm so excited. "Thank you so much!" I spring over and hug him. He blushes. I can tell he's proud of himself.
"Anything for you"
"Josh, I can't believe it! Cape May! I love you so much" I plant a kiss on his cheek.
About 5 minutes later we pull up at Grand Hotel Cape May.
I can't believe Josh is doing this for me. This place is so expensive. How could he-? Never mind.
Josh gets my suitcase and opens my door for me.
"Josh, thank you so much"
He just smiles. The doorman comes and gets our bags. We walk into the hotel and it is gorgeous. The floors are shiny. There is a fountain in the middle with an angel. The clear glass chandler is breathtaking. We walk over to the reception desk which is covered with Italian marble. The desk clerk is a small white girl with short black hair.
"Hi! How can I help you today?" she says with a huge smile.
"Hi, we made reservations. The Andersons. We have the suite." Josh says with a smile pulling papers out his pocket. The clerk checks them and scrolls down her computer.
"Yup! Room 34A! Here are your keys!" she says handing them to Josh. "Have a nice stay! If you need anything please don't hesitate!"
Josh leads me to the sweeping staircase. "Josh! The suite! I'm speechless!"
Josh turns around and plants a kiss right on my lips. Its soft and just beautiful. "Anything for you, Collins"
We take the elevator to our room. Which is spectacular! White curtains draped over all the windows, Brazilian cherry wood floors, a spacious living room, kitchen and bathroom. I walk around. It's so elegant. Everything is just perfect. The master bedroom contains a king size bed, LCD flat screen and dvd player. The comforter is so pretty. It was a Floral Charlotte Dasmask with lovely plush blue pillows. But the highlight of the suite had to be the large romantic Jacuzzi overlooking the city skyline. Also, the french doors opened out to an astounding view.
I turn and run over to Josh's arms making him stumble to the ground. He smiles as I lay on top of him. I kiss him. He kisses back.
"Josh...Thank you so much. I really appreciate everything you've done for me." Damn. I'm crying. What a bitch.
"Collins..How many times do I have to say I love you."
"As many as you want"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun is setting. The magnificent orange sphere is beautiful as it drops to the see. Josh and I walk hand and hand on the beach making imprints in the sand. The sun radiates in a pink glow. The sunset makes me feel so happy.
I'm so happy that I'm able to be here with Josh. My true love. The love and warmth I feel is indescribable. It's so comforting and romantic.
How could he do this for me. He makes me feel so alive. He makes it known that he loves me. He's sweet and everything
I look up at him and smiles at Josh.
"I love you so much" he says.
"I love you too." This time the kiss, it's different so different. It's full of passion and all of the emotions we're feeling right now. His lips are so soft pressing against mine. This kiss is so deep, I don't even want to come up for air. Butterflies rush through me.I wish I could hold onto this moment forever. This kiss, its unique and beautiful. But still it's full of fire and makes me feel so hot inside. Its gives me a tingly feeling.And for this moment it just takes my breath away.This kiss totally takes me to another level.
