The Encounter ☾Justin & Ariana

t w e n t y

    It was about 8:30 pm and the sun was setting. We drove into a park. We were driving through this trail and there were trees everywhere so I couldn't see too well.
"Where are we going?" I asked. He just looked over, laughed and smiled at me, and grabbed my hand. His thumb caressing the hand. I rested my head back and took a deep breath. We finally got out of the woods and were on top of a hill. It was beautiful. Perfect. We had a perfect view of the stars and the city line.
"Wow." I said to myself.
"Like it?" He asked.
"Love it." I smiled and walked out the car. We heard a car approach and headlights shine at us. I put my hand over my eyes to see.

"What's going on?" I asked Justin.
"Don't worry, it's just the guards. Always looking out for us." He reassuringly said.
He opened the back door and grabbed a folded blanket.
I smirked at him and grabbed one end and he grabbed the other. We spread the blanket out, and put the food down and took a seat.
He pulled out a champagne.
"Came in clutch!" I laughed and cheered. He pulled out glasses and poured for us both. He put his glass up to mine.
"Cheers to...us?" He said. I looked at him and smiled.
"Cheers to us." I took a sip and leaned in for a kiss.
It was beautiful. Just wonderful. All I want. All I needed was right here.
We laid down and I was resting on his arm and chest and he was running his fingers through my hair. We looked up at the sky, and just watched. Each star glimmer.
Suddenly, a drop fell on my face. I furrowed my eyebrows and washed it off.
"It's...raining?" I said baffled.
"No? I mean, I don't see any-" He was cut off by a few drops landing on his face. He grunted and got up.
"I guess that's our cue." He stated.
We got up and started putting everything back in the car. As soon as we finished, it started pouring. Monsooning.
He grabbed my hand as he dragged me to the car.
"Let's go!" He yelled, through the water running down his face.
"No!" I pushed him back. He looked at me confused.
"Ariana, come on!" He said trying to pull me to the car.
"No, it'll clear up in a second!" I looked up at the sky. It wasn't clearing up. I looked at him and smiled. Laughing. He looked at me sort of smiling but most definitely confused.
"Come here." I pulled him towards me. We just stared at each other. The guards came running.
"Are you guys coming?!" They motioned their hands to go. We didn't even look at them. We just watched each other. Justin held my hands.
"I love you." He said. I looked at him, mesmerized.
"I love you, too." I said. He held my face and pulled me in for a kiss.
I love him. Always have.
