"You! You're here? What!" I began to freak out.
Jc was in my room. In California. In front of me.
"Surprise?" He laughed, throwing up his arms.
"Justin!" I finally cracked a smile and jumped up to hug him. "Holy hell what are you doing here?"
"Thanksgiving break. I wanted to surprise you." He beamed.
"Well I'm definitely surprised." I laughed. "And you were in on this?" I turned to my dad who walked up behind Jc.
"He's got my number, I thought it would be a good idea. You've been, not you. Honey I see the way you smile at him." My dad chuckled when my cheeks burned red. "Now, if you don't mind me, I think I'm going to surprise your mother."
Without another word my dad was practically skipping his way out of the front door, leaving Jc and I in awe.
"So, uh, what now?" Jc whispered.
"Well," I grabbed his hand. "We could go out."
"Are you asking me on a date Selena?" He chuckled, squeezing my hand tight. "I'd like that."
"Well then, where would you like me to take you?" I asked, pulling him closer.
"Let's see, we could go to Santa Monica? I've always wanted to go."
"Santa Monica it is." I wiggled out of his arms. "Let me just get ready."

Just hours later I found myself on Santa Monica beach sitting on top on a blanket snuggling up next to the boy I hadn't seen since we left unless it was via iChat. His arm slipped around me while his fingers traced the out line of the hem of my sweater. Small talk wasn't even necessary as we watched the sun set and the fire light up to dance at our feet.
"So what now?" I asked, knowing he knew what I meant.
"Now, we enjoy being together. Tomorrow we have thanksgiving dinner together, we spend more time together, and then I leave." He sighed on the last few words.
"And when you leave?" I pressed.
"We just go from there." he shrugged and pulled me over his leg so I was sitting in between his now stretched out in a v shaped legs. "I can't promise you forever, because even I don't know the future, but I can promise I won't hurt you intentionally. You make me happy, and I know we haven't known each other long, but I'd like to know you more, and I know we don't love each other, but I think we could."
I couldn't help but turn and stare at him. The words that so calmly left his mouth shocked me to no extent. Yet at the same time I felt the same way.

I'm aware it's short, very very very short, so I'm sorry! I've been dealing with a lot and I thought since it's thanksgiving why not update? (Besides I'll have time to write today and it'll be a better chapter and stuff)
None the less, let me know what you think!
