Lust and Lies

Campiello

Kristen's pov

We got to Campiello just in time for our reservation. We got our seats and ordered our food and drinks. We talked about things going on in our lives and about school. We were graduating in two months and we wouldn't have to come back. Thank god. Our school wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Kids still had sex in the bathroom and the food tasted like cardboard but over all it wasn't that bad of a place. It really felt like a start of a good relationship, we weren't rushing into sex although we were doing everything but sex. I wanted to continue to go on more dates, but honestly it was hard. We were both caught up with school and our home lives. We tried to hang out at least three ones a week but sometimes it was once or twice or none at all. I loved the time we spent together because it felt like old times. Every feeling came rushing back and I just hoped she felt the same way. Kristen meant a lot to me, I was having doubts about her being over Richard. I knew she wasn't because when I would bring him up she just started off into the distance and was silent, most likely thinking of all the good times. To my knowledge they never fought or got in arguments. Their relationship was completely mature. I knew I had to straighten up my act for her. But that's besides the point, I really hoped she wanted me as much as I wanted her. I even brought her into my prayers. I used to when we were talking and just started dating, but when I hooked up with Courtney I stopped because I knew there was no more hope.

After our main courses we ordered two chocolate mousse cakes and paid for our bill. It was about $90 with tip. It was a really good dinner, Kristen kept talking about how good her fried calamari was. She hasn't been there in a long time I suppose. When we finally left the restaurant it was 10:47 PM. We strolled along the sidewalk and admired the scenery around us. We spotted a coin fountain near the huge lake and went to it. I admired the beauty of it all and Kristen took a few pictures. Then she took a few picture of us in the moonlight and set one of them as her wallpaper, replacing the one of her mom and Vivian.

"Noah." She said softly
"Hm?" I responded gazing at the lake near us.
"I love you."

My heart dropped, in a good way. It was the first time she said she loved me since we got back together, I think she meant it.

"I love you too Kristen." I said turning around and pushing out bodies together.

I grabbed her face and looked into her eyes. I kissed her so passionately I could feel my heart throb.

That night we decided to stay at Kristen's house. Kristen told me to wait in the car until she checked the house for her dad and Mike. I knew we were going to have sex because that's what she always did before we came back after a long date. When she went in a reached in the backseat and grabbed the box of condoms I placed under the seat before we went out just in case we would have sex. I put a few in my pocket and waited for her to come back. She was gone about 15 minutes.

I went in my parents room and made the bed. I had texted my dad and asked if he would be home and he told me he was staying with Mike. I grabbed some candles and lit them. I wanted this to be special, better than ever before. I wanted it to be perfect. I waited so long just so my body could take a break, I wasn't planning on it tonight but that kiss was so passionate I couldn't help myself. I went to my room and grabbed my sexiest lingerie. I texted him and told him to come in. He did as told and I waited for him. When he came he shut and locked the front door. He came into the room.

"Hey sexy." He said kissing me and pushing me on the bed. "I like the candles."

He took of my lingerie slowly and I did the same. I watched as he pulled out a condom, I was relieved because I had stopped taking the pill after we broke up and didn't think he knew. He put it on him and we didn't have sex, we made love. There was more romance. The times with Rich had been different. I started to wonder if I was in love or lust? I knew I was in love with Noah. He's my everything.

After we were done we laid in silence for a few minutes.

"I love you Kristen Mills."
"I love you Noah Adams."
