I climbed into bed next to Sophia. She leaned against the headboard playing on her phone. I rested my head on her shoulder and looked up at her. She kept playing on her phone.

"Sophia." I whined.

She smiled. "Yes?"

"Pay attention to me." I said.

"I'm doing something, babe."

I looked at her phone. She was on tumblr, looking at picture of us from Warped Tour.

I took her phone and threw it on the bed. She smiled at me and I layed my head in her lap.

"Austin, you're like a cat." She said, stroking my hair.

I purred and snuggled closer to her. She giggled and caressed my cheek. I slid my arms around her waist and layed my head on her stomach.

"I love you, Sophia." I said.

She stroked my hair with one hand rubbed my neck with the other. "I love you, Austin."

I closed my eyes. "When did you fall in love with me?"

She leaned and pulled a blanket over us. "That day in the hotel room." She kissed the top of my head. "I don't know what it was. Maybe it was the way you wanted to take care of me."

I smiled and rolled onto my back, my head still in her lap. She smiled at me. "Soph. You make me so happy."

"You make me happy too, Austin." She said. She kissed me.

I took her hands and kissed each of her fingers. "I just wanna be with you all the time. I wanna make you smile and laugh. I wanna be the reason you wake up in the morning and wanna go through each day."

She smiled. "You make my heart feel like it's going to swell up and explode. When you smile, baby, oh my God. That smile makes my whole world light up."

I grinned and kissed her. She pulled away. I looked at her and she was smiling. "Baby, I wanna go to the beach!"

I chuckled. "You have the shortest attention span."

She smiled and shrugged. We got up and Sophia put on her pink bikini and a pair of cut off jean shorts. She pulled her hair hair up into a sloppy bun and grabbed her cigarettes, phone, and sunglasses.

We stepped out of the house and she lit a cigarette. I frowned.

"What's wrong?" She asked, blowing the smoke away from me.

"You're destroying your lungs." I said.

She shrugged. "Something's gonna kill me eventually."

We started walking towards the beach. Sophia took my hand and sang under her breath. I smiled and squeezed her hand. She looked up at me and smiled.

Finally, we got to the beach. Sophia sat down in the sand and reached for my hand. I sat down next to her and looked around. The beach was practically empty.

"It's so beautiful." Sophia said.

I looked out at the ocean. It sparkled. Sophia put her hand on my thigh, I looked over at her. She was looking at the ocean, a small smile on her lips.

"Whatcha thinkin about, baby?" I said.

She grinned. "Just picturing you having sex for the first time and getting stung."

I chuckled. "Aren't you afraid of the ocean?"

She nodded. "Yeah. Too mysterious."

I stood up and reached for her hand. "C'mon."
