A Different Reality (Lasting Love)

5 Years Flew By

I lie awake in bed.  8 am on my day off, and I could be sleeping in, but instead Justin's loud and obnoxious snoring has woken me.  He, however, seems oblivious to this and is still in a deep slumber.  His arm laying around my waist with my head resting on his chest. I can feel the rise and fall of his chest every time he breathes, as well as the lawnmower like sound coming from his nose that just might cause me to go crazy.

Finally, I've had enough of it.  I reach up, find his nose, and pinch it shut. Seconds later, he jolts awake, my head flies off his chest, and he looks at me in complete shock.

"What the hell was that for?" He tries to recover from the shock "Are you trying to kill me?"

"Yes, baby. I wanna kill you," I joke as I kiss him "You were just getting annoying."

"Then you should've woken me like a normal person." He laughs at the situation "What time is it?"

"A little after 8," I sit up "We gotta leave here by 2, so we have plenty of time."

"I can't believe we're out of that place 5 years already." He stares into the space of my old bedroom for a while "And eight since we started dating."

"It's so crazy. We're getting so old." I stand up to look out the window "I wonder how everyone else is.  I don't talk to too many of them anymore."

"I bet they all look older than us," He walks over, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my neck "None of them look as good as you."

I turn around to face him, thinking it'll make him stop, but he doesn't.

"Babe," I try to get his attention "My mom is right downstairs. She can hear."

"So?" He looks me in the eyes "Just be quiet." He starts to kiss me, on the lips this time, changing the mood.

He picks me up, and carries me over to the bed where he lays me down gently.  I open my mouth to deepen the kiss letting our tongues intertwine creating strong suction.  He leans over me breaking the kiss for just a few seconds to get my top off.

I flip us over to get his top off, sliding my hands up his back and over the back of his head along with the top. Everything is perfect.  He moans slightly as I kiss his neck, making my way back to his mouth. I finish by taking off his boxers and stroking his bulge.  I notice that it is getting bigger by the second and let him flip us over to take control.

"You're amazing," he whispers kissing me down my chest towards my panties.  He slides his hands down my back between my panties band and my skin causing me to go weak as he slides them off.  I dig my nails into his back trying to control myself as my hips grind under him.

"Condom," I pant, reminding him.

I moan loudly not even caring anymore with each thrust causing him to go deeper and faster.  He kisses me even more passionately with each thrust.  I can hardly handle all the pleasure as we both finish.

"I love you," he pants as he falls beside me.  He leans over to kiss me again before we both decide it's time to go downstairs.

"Hey, look who finally left their room." My mom hands us food as we walk in the kitchen "You guys could've at least blocked the door with a blanket or something." She jokes.

"Sorry, Nancy." Justin replies laughing.  We all know he isn't very sorry.

"We'll remember next time," I tell her causing her to laugh.

"That's all I ask." She sits at the table "So are you guys doing anything else while you're in New York? Or just the reunion?"

"I think just the reunion," Justin answers "She has to be at work on Monday."

"When is this season over?" She asks me "It seems like you're always working."

"There's still about 7 months left. Then we have a 4 month break." I join them at the table "I'll have a week off next month."

We spend the rest of the morning talking about random things.  She, of course, brings up the fact that we're married 4 years and still don't have kids, hinting at wanting grandchildren, which causes some drama between Justin and I.  Once we all get over that, she quizzes us on almost every other aspect of our lives, claiming she's trying to help us.  With what we don't know.

"I think I'm gonna go get ready," I start to walk upstairs "We need to leave in 2 hours."

I grab everything that I'm going to need, and walk into the bathroom. Shortly after I get in the shower, I hear Justin run up the stairs to our room, where he is getting ready.  He however only takes about 20 minutes, and goes back downstairs to watch TV until I'm ready.  I slip on the dress that I decided on, one that Justin bought me a few months ago, and brush through my hair before applying a little makeup and going downstairs.

"You are NOT wearing that!" I look into the living room and see Justin in jean shorts and a t-shirt "I know it isn't a fancy thing but you can't wear that."

"Fine," He gives in and walks up to change "But I'm not wearing the pants you picked out."

"Well at least put nicer jeans on." I suggest as he reaches the top.

"You ready?" I ask as we stand at the entrance.  The reunion started about 20 minutes ago, and we can already hear people talking and music playing from inside the room.  He opens the door, and we walk in, not sure if we should be happy to be here or not.

"There's a bar," He points it out the minute we walk in "What do you want?" I tell him, and he walks right over to get our drinks.

"Jen?" A lady walks up to me.  I try to remember her name, but for some reason can't.

"It's Emma," She reminds me "How are you?"

"I'm good!" I reply finally remembering who she is "How have you been?"

"Great," She goes on to tell me a little about her life "So are you here alone? Where's Justin?"

"He's at the bar getting us drinks." I look over to see that he's walking back towards us.  Once he gets over, I remind him of who she is, and even though I can tell her doesn't remember her, he acts like he does.

"Do you remember her?" He asks me after she walks away.  I shake my head no, and we walk over to the bar to sit. A few other people that we used to talk to recognize us, and we talk for awhile before we see some of our closer friends walk in.

"Hey," Andrea and her husband walk up to us "Anything interesting happen?"

"Well that guy is drunk," I point out someone that none of us remember "I think he almost stripped a few minutes ago."

"Damn.  Guess we should've gotten here earlier," Mike jokes before leaving with Justin to get us more drinks.

"So how long are you guys in New York?" She sits next to me and waves at someone who notices her "We should do something."

"We leave at 2:30 Sunday," I answer her "But we don't have any planned tomorrow."

We make some plans to meet up for lunch tomorrow before Justin and Mike get back with our drinks. They end up playing some different music, and after a little bit more talking we decide to get up and dance with everyone else.

The night ends with a few speeches from class officers, a slideshow of pictures of everyone and a few other memorial things.

"Well, I guess the 5 years really flew by."
