Your Forever Is All That I Need (Kellin Quinn)

Chapter 19: Day of Paradise

"Day of Paradise"

*Cassie's POV*

I felt so vulnerable. And stupid. Here he was, looking beautiful, and he wanted me... And, I just couldn't let myself be free of the sadness and the pain that I know is bound to come when I completely open up and he leaves.

I'm not saying that he's going to leave me as in break my heart and just leave, but he'll be on tour most days, and I'll be in college. I mean, I'm almost done, but what if he meets someone? Someone better, someone prettier, someone that he deserves.

"What are you thinking about?" He whispered into my ear, wrapping his arms tighter around my waist. We had changed our position a little to where my back was rested on his chest and his arms and legs were around me. We were facing the ocean and he rested his chin on my shoulder.

"About everything... The future." I whispered back. There was a hint of sadness in my tone that I couldn't help. I knew he noticed too, because he scooted around to where he was facing me. He now sat in front of me, and his legs were still surrounding me, and his hands now rested on either side of my cheek.

"I will never leave you again. I hope you understand that. I need to you to understand that." He said as searched my eyes.

I just nodded, and tried to smile.

He got up and reached his hand to help me up. I took it and he brought me into a hug.

"Lets have a fun day, alright?" He asked.

I nodded into his chest and then he let me go and grabbed the towels and packed them away. He held out his hand and I took it and we walked towards the ocean. Once our feet touched the water, he released his hand and tugged off his shirt.

"You ready to swim?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

I laughed, but still felt a little self conscious towards being in a bathing suit, a skimpy one at that, in front of him.

I shakily pulled off my shirt and my shorts. I felt as if I was practically naked in front of him, but his face just lightened and he smiled.

"Let's go, beautiful." He smiled as he took my hand and led me into the ocean.

"Ahh, it's cold." I squealed.

"You're such a girl." He teased.

I scoffed and pushed him and he tripped on his own feet and fell in the water. The water was about to our waists now but when Kellin fell, he completely went in. He came back up drenched.

"Who's the girl, now?" I stuck my tongue out at him.

He just smiled evilly, and grabbed me from around the waist and lifted me up in the air.

"No, stop it Kellin!" I laughed as he threw me into the sea. I came back up to see him laughing at me.

"You suck." I laughed, squeezing excess water out of my hair. He just laughed at me, and splashed me in the face. 

"Do you really want to die?" I asked him, cocking my eyebrow. He took it as a joke and splashed me again, but this time, he did it with more force. I groaned and wiped the water out of my eyes.

"That's it, Kellin. You're dead." I growled, and I hopped on his back and tried to push him under. I wrapped my legs around his torso and started to beat on his bare back. He finally got so distraced with my constant poundings that his legs caved in and he sank under me. Too bad it wasn't just him that went down, because as soon as he hit the water, he pulled me under as well.

We both came up laughing, and I playfully hit his shoulder.

"You jerk! You were supposed to be the only one went under!"" I laughed and spit out some water that had snuck it's way into my mouth.
