Don't Let Me Down by Amel Larrieux

Nomi

Justin and I both went to straight to sleep as soon as we stepped foot in the beautiful house on the beach. It was small, only one room and a decent sized bathroom. I didn't even know if someone would even consider it a house, more like a hotel room with a more home tropical vibe.  But I didn't mind. I was so used to big and fancy, that this actually brought me a sense of comfort.

I opened my eyes with a smile on my face. I hear the waves crashing on the shore in the background, and warmth of sunlight as it came through the giant glass window . Something is off though...

I turn over and sure enough Justin isn't there. Before I even have a chance of concluding on where he could have possibly gone, the door opens revealing him with foam containers of food, a tray of drinks, and just plain hotness. It appalls me how he can make a white t-shirt and some sweats look good, but he does it.

"You're up. I thought I'd grab us some food but I was hoping to be back before you woke."

I watched him place the drinks and food on the small table before responding, "I just woke up and luckily for you I'm starving." I crawled over to the edge of the bed and sat on my knees.

"Well, I didn't know what you wanted so I got a little bit of everything. Vanilla latte, caramel latte, a cappuccino, tea, and a espresso."

I laughed, "The caramel latte please." He handed me the warm drink and I took a small sip. "As for food, I didn't know where to go exactly so I asked someone and they directed me to a stand that had donuts." He opened the containers to reveal an assortment of donuts.

"Oh my gosh, this is awesome." He chuckled at my response. I got up and took a seat across from him at the small table. I picked up the donut that looked to have oreo crumbs on top. Taking a bite, I moaned. It's filled with nutella. "You have to try this, here." I held up the donut to Justin's mouth and he took a bite. I accidentally though stabbed him in the face with one if my nails. "Oh gosh, sorry."

"It's fine." he said with a mouth full of donut. I took another bite before setting it down.

"Alright, it's time. Nails be gone." with that I took one of the butter knives that were on the table and started to peel off my acrylics. Finally... i hated those fucking things.

After devouring six donuts Justin topping me by one with seven, I decided to change out of my clothes that still were still from last night. But i wanted to be comfortable.... "Do you mind?" I asked Justin pointing to his suitcase. He shook his head and I smiled opening it. I pulled out a pair of his basketball shorts and then grab a tank top from my suitcase.

I walked into the bathroom and changed not bothering to wear a bra. I then walked out to see Justin leaning against the open door way that lead to the ocean. I snuck up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head onto his muscular back. He took hold of my hands and intertwined them with his. "You okay?" his voice was full of concern, and made my hear flutter with happiness.

I placed a soft kiss on his back before answering, "I'm more than okay."

—————

"Justin no!" I yelled as I ran along the shore of the beach. Only a couple steps in, his arms wrapped around my waist picking me up.

I bursted into a fit of laughter as he spun me around. "Justin, please no. It's going to be so cold!" I managed to get out as I saw he was carrying me further into the water.

"Aww, that's too bad." he smirked. Water surrounded me moments later, chilling my whole body.

I arose to the surface, to see Justin laughing hysterically at me. "You're so gonna get it!" I jumped on Justin tackling him into the water soaking him.

We continued splashing each other and swimming around for a good amount of time. All the way until a chill was in the air from the growing darkness of the night sky.

I wrapped my legs around Justin as we were both chest deep in water. Well, Justin was because I wasn't tall enough to stand. I smiled as he pecked me on the lips resting his forehead against mine. "I want to stay like this forever." I whispered

"Me too." I felt his grip tighten around my waist and I nuzzled my face into his neck placing a chaste kiss there. I was at peace and I wished for moments like these to never end. I wished that we could just freeze time and never have to unpause it. Because for once I was so....happy.

Eventually we decided to head back to the villa. "Do you want me to order something?" he asked as we walked in.

I nodded my head, and went to my suitcase to grab some clothes. I walked into the bathroom turning in the shower and changing out of my black spandex and sports bra that I used as a bathing suit.

I quickly washed my body, and stepped out wrapping a towel around me. I changed into my clothes which consisted of Justin's sweatpants and a tank top.

I walked out to see Justin laying on the bed staring at a random show on the tv. "Are we gonna watch a movie?" I asked and crawled next to him sitting crisscross applesauce.

He shrugged, "If you want." I furrowed my eyebrows at him. Something was wrong, his mood isn't the same as to when i left him., he now seemed as if he was, sad..

I scooted closer and wrapped my arms around his bicep kissing him there softly,"Hey what's wrong?" He sighed and brought his other hand to his hair, raking through it. He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it shaking his head. "Justin..."I said with a little sternness is my voice.

He sighed, "I...I was just thinking about...everything. And I don't know... Nomi, what are we exactly?"

I smile itched to come across my face, but I suppressed it instead with a curious look. "Well, what do you want us to be? What do you want me to be to you?" I didn't realize until just then that my heart was beating at a rapid pace. Almost as if it would pop out of my chest at any moment. What if I'm just some hook up to him? What if he is nervous about this cause he thinks I think we are together but he doesn't want that? What if-

"My girlfriend.... A-and I want us to be together, like for real." My heart beat slowed and instead my stomach filled with butterflies.

Girlfriend....gawd blimey..(british term)

"Well, I want you to be my boyfriend....like for real."

I no longer hid the smile, and neither did Justin as he took hold of my cheeks and smashed my lips with his.
