"I want to be the only one."

Justin kissed my cheek as we laid on his big bed that was complete with both of us on it. He gently leaned on top of me and pressed his soft lips against mine. It was like a lightning bolt ran down my back every time I felt his touch.

His hands travelled down to my waist and he gripped it tightly as our bodies pressed together. I placed my hands on each side of his face as he deepened the kiss and our tongues met. His hands slowly travelled upwards and slightly slid under my shirt and his fingers met my hidden skin.

His gently moved his lips to my neck, kissing it softly. He found my sweet spot, licking and kissing it gently. I bit my lip as I tried to hold in my moan.

"Justin..." I whispered his name as I remembered why I had actually came over here. To talk. That's why I had come over. As much as I loved kissing him, we needed to talk.

"Justin, we need to talk." I whispered again and this caught his attention. He lifted his head and kissed my lips softly before laying down next to me. Gosh, he was cute.

"Whats up, babe?" He said resting his head back on the pillow.

Ever since that morning that I ran into that girl who said she knew Justin. I don't know. I've just been really curious about her and how she knew him. Did he know her? I wanted to ask him, but something was stopping me.

"Look, I know this is a stupid question," I stated, observing him carefully. "but, how many serious relationships have you been in?"

I watched his reaction, but it was emotionless, almost like he'd been expecting this question. "Probably about 5 or 6. There nothing compared to you though. Why?" He asked, slowly smirking. "Are you jealous?"

"No." I nervously laughed. "Just interested, thats all."

He gently took my hand in his and his warm smile let me be in peace, like I had no worries in the world. "Babe. Baby. I love you."

I decided not to bring up the girl who I'd met earlier. It could be possible that she just knew him. Just as friends. Even if she one of his ex-girlfriends, I couldn't care less. "I love you too." I said as a smile formed on my lips before I rested my head on his chest.

I ran my hand over my phone a million times, re-reading the text Cole had just sent me. I sat at the diner, waiting for Cole to arrive and I was starting to get impatient. We need to talk...Isighed, reading it again.

What could he possibly want to talk about? I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. I mean, I was happy, but it was just becoming too much for me to handle when it came to Cole. I just want him to be happy for me.

"Hey." A voice caught my attention and I lifted my head up to see Cole. He gave me a small smile which I returned. He pulled the chair out and sat on it, looking down at his feet.

"So what did you need to talk about? I need to make this quick, I have plans with Ju-" I quickly stopped myself from talking when his head snapped up and I bit my lip in frustration.

"I get it, Ariana. You can talk about Justin. We don't have to pretend he doesn't exist because he does." He said as I let myself relax.

"Right. I'm sorry."

"What I wanted to talk about was what happened the other day. But like I said, I think it's best if I stay out of your way since I keep starting shit." He said, slightly chuckling.
