Young Love

Back Together

Arena and LJ left Mandalay Bay. She has never felt so safe again. For some odd reason she ended up pinchin LJ.

"Owe! Why you pinchin me"

"To see if I aint dreamin"

"Well darling.. Im here and Im all yours"

"Is that so"

"Indeed"

LJ and Arena locked hands. Arena slightly blushed. They walked into Panda Express. Arena was starving. The only meal she had was breakfast. She didnt get to eat lunch because sje was too busy helpin her uncle Julio.

"You know what.. lets go to the Stratosphere" LJ said

"Bu-"

LJ dragged Arena out of Panda Express. LJ waved down a cab and they both got in one. As they were gettin out, Arena's phone went off.

"Hello"

"Baby girl"

"Daddy! I miss you guys so much"

"We miss you too baby.. hows Vegas. We saw you on tv"

"Its goin great. Im loving every bit of it"

"Thats good. Your mom and I are in North Carolina"

"Thats cool. Im walkin the strip"

"Have you gone shoppin yet"

"No not yet. Probably till tomorrow"

"Ok. Well I put some extra cash in your bank account. Happy Birthday Arena. We love you"

"Thanks daddy. Love you guys too.. see ya soon"

"Ok. Bye. You be safe out there ok"

"Ok. Bye dad"

Arena hung up her phone. She slided it back in her pocket. She grabbed LJ's hand. They made their way to the restaraunt. LJ and Arena waited for the waitress.

"Hi. How many in your party"

"Two" LJ said

"Hey. Ill be back. I gotta use the little boys room" LJ said again

"Ok"

Arena followed the waitress and LJ pretended to go to the restroom. He waited for the hostess to return.

"Hey. Do you guys do anything for birthdays" he asked

"Yes we do. We give ice cream cake out. Whose birthday"

"My girlfriend actually. The one that I was standing next to. Can y'all make it a surprise"

"Sure. Whats her name"

"Arena"

"Ok"

"Thanks"

LJ made his way towards the table Arena was sittin at. He sat across from her. He tried so hard to keep himself from smiling too much.

"Alright Larry. Spill the grain"

"Nothing. Im just happy I get to see you again thats all"

"Mmhmm"

Arena took a sip of her soda. LJ kept lookin at her. Arena would catch him staring with a smirk on his face.

"Alright LJ. Theres something stinky and I dont mean the sushi"

"Arena Im serious. Theres nothing stinky.. Im just happy your back in my life"

"Are you positive"

"Yes! I want you in my life"

"Tell me something I dont know" Arena joked

Arena and LJ enjoyed their dinner together. They caught up with one another. Arena was surprised by LJ's side of things. She didnt think he would end up as a typical cowboy. But she knew him better than anyone. LJ's feelings fell deeper and deeper for Arena. He couldnt believe that she hasnt had a boyfriend since he left. As beautiful as she is, he figured she would have at least two ex boyfriends including him. Arena kept herself busy from having a relationship.

"Hows your parents" LJ asked

"Their great. They are actually in North Carolina now"

"Oh. Do you still live in Durant"

"Use to. I moved to Cali after I graduated"

"Oh.. for school"

"No. I live with my uncle Julio"

"Woah.. woah.. woah.. your uncle is Julio Moreno"

"Mmmhmm.. Thats how I winded up here"

"Ah I see"

Arena finished her last bite of her shrimp alfredo. LJ on the other hand finished his plate. Just as he was bout to speak. The workers at the restaraunt started singing happy birthday to Arena. She had the biggest smile on her face.

"How? How did they know" Arena questioned

"I told them. I never forgot bout your birthday Arena. I know I missed five years of it but this is me makin it up to you"

"This is great. Thank you"

"Happy nineteenth birthday dear"

"Thank you."

Arena blew out her candles. She took a bite of her ice cream cake and she loved it. And she had to share with LJ. Because to her it wouldnt be a birthday if everyone didnt join in on the birthday cake. Her and LJ shared the big slice of birthday cake.

"What did your uncle do for your birthday"

"He brought me here. And you were part of the gift"

"You knew I was gonna be here"

"No. I saw you checkin in at the hotel"

"And you didnt say anything"

"I decided to let you do the chasin"

"Your funny"

"Well I wasnt sure if it was you. So i left it"

"Uh huh sure"

"Im serious. I didnt know it was you until after your ride in the third round"

"And you ran away from me"

"Because I needed some air. The fact that my boyf- I mean my best friend was litterally right in front of me"

"Im sorry did you refer me as your boyfriend"

Arena blushed and smiled.

"You did! I have a girlfriend now" LJ said

"Calm your bulls.." Arena joked

After LJ payed for the ticket, they hopped into the cab. Off they went back to the hotel. Arena didnt want this night to end. But she knew LJ needed sleep for tomorrow. She cant keep him up all night.

The two got off at the hotel and made their way back to their room. Arena and LJ got out of the elevator. They both walked hand in hand down the hallway. Arena let go of LJ's hand but he quickly grabbed her hand and pinned her against the wall and frenched her. LJ searched for his room key. Then he finally got the door opened and led Arena back to his bedroom. LJ closed the door.
