Chapter Fifty Two

Lexie's P.O.V.

I slid into the passenger seat as Justin smiled at me, "Good morning my love" he said before I lunged at him pressing my lips against his. Justin quickly pulled me into him setting me on his lap as his hands traveled into my hair.

Lightly licking his lips he groaned sliding his tongue against mine. I slowly pulled away chuckling watching his face, he looked absolutely shocked. "What the hell was that?" He said pecking my lips a couple of times.

I giggled tracing his lips with my finger that were now red and swollen. Placing my hand on his cheek I kissed him one last time before setting myself in the passenger seat. It was almost like he couldn't move, he just stared out the window.

Well I knew what I could do to him now, which wasn't my intention I just wanted to kiss my boyfriend. He still wasn't moving, wasn't saying anything, just watching the leaves blow in the wind. Grabbing his hand I pressed it against my cheek seeing his gaze meet mine.

Dang I didn't know I affected him like that. He smiled pecking the back of my hand as he held it on his lap. Putting the truck in gear we took off towards the hospital for another day of waiting.

Garrett or Kara hadn't text me all night so I figured Marilyn was still asleep. She had to wake up before Justin's dad got here. I just couldn't leave without saying goodbye to her.

"Lexie?" Justin called me as I focused on him, I honestly hated that tone of voice. "Do you truly and I mean one hundred percent love me?"

"What kind of question is that?" I snapped making him grab a tighter hold on my hand.

"Honey I'm not trying to make you upset, but-"

"But what?"

"What if this isn't the right decision?"

"Us? Are you seriously second guessing us?" I screamed ripping my hand from his grasp. "Do you know what I've put up with to be with you? I've fought my parents! My parents Justin! Do you know how many times I could have said I'm done with you but I keep coming back! What brought this up?"

He sighed pulling off the freeway as I waited for his answer. "Truth be told I'm scared okay? I act like everything is fine that this is easy but I've never felt this way about anyone love. Out of all the girls I've dated not one of them gave me the feeling to just hold them. I've never thought, wow I can't wait until I get to just hold her. With you, I want that"

"Justin-"

"Just listen to me alright?" He parked on the side of the road as I nodded. "I'm afraid that what I feel for you, you don't for me. Babe, I did tell a girl I loved her a while back. She laughed in my face and told me she was using me to get back at her ex. I know at sixteen you really don't understand the difference but it was still painful to go through. Lexie, I want you to be in love with me as much as I am with you"

"Damn Justin" I sighed trying not to let the tears take over. "Come here" I said watching him scoot over and take the keys out of the ignition. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"You are pushing through so much the last thing you need are my issues"

"And the last thing you need to think is that I don't care what you've been through" now I was crying as he set his head in my lap. "Justin, honey I love you. I want to know what you are dealing with and I want to help. You remember a while back when we were in the rv and you told me that I would never have to worry about getting hurt again?" I asked as he nodded. "I'm going to make that same promise to you"
