[Third Person]

"I-i t-think I'm f-falling i-in love w-with you."

Justin's heart was beating so fast as she said those words. He could barely control his breathing as he stared at the beautiful woman on his lap.

Her eyes were sad and confused, her cheeks wet with tears as she practically sobbed in his arms.

"K-Karina, I-" he starts to say but she slides off his erection, grabbing her underwear and quickly sliding them on along with her sweats.

"Y-you d-don't have t-to say it back." She sniffles sitting in the corner of the couch.

Justin sighs, pulling off the cum filled condom and discarding it.

"W-what makes you think I wouldn't want to s-say it back?" he asks, putting himself away in his pants, and pulling his shirt over his head.

She was silent., sobbing softly with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Karina..."

"W-we've only slept together twice. And one of those was a one night stand. We don't even k-know e-each other." She sobs.

This was the second time she's cried in front of him, and it hurts to hear her cry. It's like his weakness.

"Baby, calm down." He reassures.

"S-stop calling me that." She sobs, whining as she wiped tears from her eyes.

"Karina, please. C-calm d-down." He stammers, moving closer. She backs away quickly, putting her hands up in front of her defensively.

"P-please... Just stay there. I-i c-can't..." She sobs not being able to finish her sentence. He felt his heart clench. She's afraid of him.

"Karina, I won't hurt you." He coos.

"T-that's h-hard t-to believe right n-now." She sniffles.

"Why?" He says close to tears.

She couldn't answer that. All she knew was she had made a mistake. But she couldn't explain her reason for saying she loved him. But that's what she felt in her heart.

"Karina... I really care for you. I would love to get to know you. And if that means... Not just having sex... Then I'll do that. But please... Don't push me away. Just when I was getting close to you. Please..." He begs.

She stares at him, her eyes filled with tears, a few dropping on her cheeks.

"I-I'm scared." She hiccups.

He grabs her hand gently. "I-I know. I am too." He admits.

They say there for a few seconds, his thumb grazing over her knuckles.

"C-can I h-hold you?" He asks not looking up at her.

"I-If y-you want." She shrugs.

He looks up, gently tugging her hand to him, motioning her to lay in his arms. He grabs the blanket, covering their bodies.

"I-I'm sorry." She apologizes.

"There's no need for you to apologize." He mumbles in her hair. She sighs, not feeling like fighting him.

"You should sleep." He say running his fingers through her hair.

"I-I don't think I can." She mumbles.

"You want me to sing to you?" He suggests.

Her eyes widen. "Um if you want..."

He clears his throat and begins to sing:

Across the ocean, across the sea,

Starting to forget the way you look at me now

Over the mountains, across the sky,

Need to see your face, I need to look in your eyes

Through the storm and through the clouds

Bumps on the road and upside down now

I know it's hard, babe, to sleep at night

Don't you worry

'cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

Through the sorrow, and the fights,

Don't you worry

'cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

All alone, in my room

Waiting for your phone call to come soon

And for you, oh, I would walk a thousand miles,

To be in your arms, holding my heart

Oh, I,

Oh, I,

I love you

And everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight

Her heart melts at the sound of his beautiful voice. She had no idea he could sing that beautiful. She sighs in content, listening to him sing the beautiful song. She found herself getting sleepy, and just before she fell asleep, she heard him whisper ever so softly...

"I love you too, Karina."
