EMILY

The Goodbye

Emily's POV

After packing the bag, I picked it up from the bag and put it aside.

"Have you packed everything?" Dad asked when he came into my room, noticing the bag.

"Yep." I said and flopped on my bed.

"Good. Be ready tomorrow morning." he patted my shoulder, putting a fake smile on his lips. I could see the sadness in his eyes, for I was the only person he was close to. He turned around before I could say anything and exited the room. "I have some work to do. Be safe, kiddo."

After he left, I decided to take a shower. Taking my time to cleanse and scrub my body, I put on the fluffy bathrobe and dragged myself out of the bathroom. But I squeaked in surprise when I found Justin on my bed, playing with my teddy bears. His head jerked towards me when he heard my voice and his mouth hanged open.

"W.. What are you d.. doing here?" I stammered because of the embarrassment that I was feeling. The bathrobe reached the mid of my thighs and my hair right now were knotted in tangled, with few locks sticking to my neck.

"I wanted to say goodbye to you. Your Dad let me in." he said and stood up, treading towards me.

The room suddenly felt warm or maybe, it was my cheeks that were burning.

He stopped when he was inches away from mine. "I'll miss your pink outfits." he smirked and I blushed deeper, if it was even possible. "And your pink sandals."

"I don't wear pink that much." I whined and he raised his eyebrows.

"Really?" he stepped closed and I took one backwards. "Even your room is all pink." he said and I noticed my room. Everything was a combination of white and pink, with walls, curtains and bedsheets the color of bright pink while furniture was mostly white.

"So what? I like pink." I said defiantly, crossing my arms in front of my chest, despite the tingling in my skin.

"And I like that you like pink. It's cute." he smirked again and leaned closer to me, until I felt his breath on my forehead. "I'll miss you." he said and snaked his arm around my waist, pulling me towards his chest.

I stared at him nervously, biting my lower lip in anticipation. His closeness was making my thoughts jumble and my heart go haywire.

"I'll miss you too." I whispered against his lips and once again licked my lips, swallowing the ball of nerves in my chest.

"Will you?" he raised his eyebrows and mumbled. "What will you miss about me?"

"Um.. I.. I'll.. Miss your.. Um.." I stuttered.

"My Um.. Umbrella?" he looked like he was enjoying while I made a fool of myself.

Grunting in anger, I slapped his chest and wiggled in his hold. "I won't miss you. Now leave me."

"Lie." he didn't loosen his hold. Instead, he tightened his arms and rested his head in the crook of my neck, nuzzling his nose slightly. I sighed as goosebumps raised on my skin.

"Jus.. Justin." I bit back the moan that threatened to leave my mouth as his mouth replaced his nose and he placed a small kiss on my cold skin.

"Emily!" he whispered in my ears and something wet traced my earlobes, probably his tongue. A chill shot down my spine and I let out a small, feeble moan. The funny feeling in the pit of my stomach had somehow returned.

He cornered me to the wall and angled my neck with his hands. "That's way to say goodbye." he said and planted his lips to mine. I brought my trembling hands to his thick hair and responded his kiss with eagerness.

His free hand trailed down to my butt, down to the bare area of my thigh. When his fingers slided over my skin, I gasped and he took the opportunity to enter his tongue into my mouth. I moaned against his lips while he pulled me up by my legs, guiding them around his waste. The position was quite weird because of the robe but I didn't care about it at that moment.

His lips left my mouth and dipped to the hollow of my neck, placing gentle kisses at first and then sucking harder. "Ahh." I moaned harder when he bit my neck and probably left a hickey.

After a while, he started walking with me in his arms. He lay me down on the bed and hovered over me. His eyes were dilated to a point that they looked black and if biology had told me anything, he was either angry at me or he really liked me. I liked the second option better.

He stared at me for a moment to see if I will stop him and when I didn't, he leaned down to kiss me again and his fingers trailed under my robe.

My body had warmed up suddenly. I knew if I didn't stop him, we would do something we might regret later but I didn't want to stop him. I was enjoying his closeness too much to stop this.

His hands were now moving upwards under my robe when he suddenly stopped and pulled back. Letting out a small groan, he lifted his head, gave me an intense look and then rolled over on the bed.

"What happened?" I asked breathlessly

"We shouldn't..... I don't think we should move further, not when you're leaving." he emitted a sigh.

Unfortunately he was right.

"Are you going?" I asked as he stood up. He nodded and my mouth automatically formed a pout.

"Stay here." I requested. 

He narrowed his eyes and gaped at me and I immediately felt embarrassed for my proposition. It didn't sound innocent to my own virgin ears.

"I mean.. I.. I'll leave early morning and I want you to be here when I go." I said and a smile made its way to his face.

"As you say." he jumped back on the bed beside me.

"I didn't mean the bed. Go to couch." I whined but he didn't listen to me. Instead he pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arm around me.

"Good night." he said and rested his head in the crook of my neck.

"But.." I decided not to argue with him because I won't probably see him for the whole next year. "Fine."

...

Dad was putting the luggage in the car while my eyes were continuously moving towards my bedroom window where Justin was hiding. Even though he kissed me hard just moments ago, I still longed to see him before going.

After Dad went back inside the house, he opened the window and peeked out. I pouted and made a sad frown on seeing him, turning around so I don't have to see him anymore. But the next moment, I heard a loud sound. Turning back, I found Justin running towards me.

"Did you just jump from my room?" I glared at him but he ignored my anger and once again, kissed me on my cheeks.

"Don't forget me." he said and sadness erupted in my heart, clenching my insides.

"Never." I said and this time, it was me who initiated the kiss. But we had to cut it short because of sound of Dad's shoes coming towards us.

"Take care." he kissed me one last time on the forehead and then ran away, leaving me on the verge of crying.

I never thought I would feel sad on leaving this place, that too because of the person who made it hell. Loving Justin was the probably the highlight of my life. I don't think I'd ever feel a connection like him again in my life. So yeah, I'll wait for him, as long as I have to.
