Smells Like Lavender

Chapter 26

Justin

I closed the door behind me, locking it.

The lights came on and my Mother appeared. "Oh sweetheart. Are you alright? Did you walk far?"

"No Mom. I'm fine." I swatted her hands away. "I told you not to wait up. You know you've gotta work tomorrow."

"Oh baby." She said. "Thank you for being concerned but I couldn't sleep knowing that you'd just be out there alone."

"Well I'm fine. Let's get you to bed." I said. "After you."

She walked up the stairs and Briana stumbled into the hallway.

I picked her up and she fell asleep on my shoulder. I flipped off the lights and carried her to her bedroom, then I retreated to my own.

The next day I met Lavender at our usual spot.

She had worn a skirt today.

What? I told you how I feel about you staring at me.

I shook my head, reluctantly tearing my gaze away from her.

Sorry.

She rolled her eyes, laughing.

You know. I've met your parents.

So?

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.

I pulled her closer, kissing her lightly.

She kissed me back slowly, sighing.

She pulled away after a few seconds.

Is that all you ever want?

Of course not

She gave me a skeptical look.

Maybe sometimes but primarily I'm here for you.

She blushed.

You're so cute

Don't call me cute

But you are cute and romantic

Stop it. You're bruising my manliness.

She laughed.

I'm serious.

Sure you are.

You don't believe me?

I believe you're a man where it counts but it stops there.

What do you mean 'where it counts'?

She looked at my pants.

I shook my head.

Naughty, naughty girl.
