Julian's POV
I look over at Lisa and of course she's asleep. I remember when we were kids we'd go somewhere in the car and she'd be sleep in about five, maybe ten minutes max. I chuckle to myself and start thinking about us when we were younger.
*Flashback*
Julian is 15, Lisa is 14.
Lisa: Ju-Ju are you gonna go skating with me still?
Me: Yes Lisa. I told you I'd be there.
Lisa: I'm just making sure Julian.
She's all giggly and annoying. I roll my eyes at her and she looks offended. Well, that's what she gets. The girl gets on my damn nerves, but she's my bestfriend and I love her regardless..
Her eyes just turned a darker shade of brown. Her mood changes her eye color, it's surreal. I forgot she was so sensitive. Now I feel bad. We're going skating cause it's her birthday and none of her other so-called friends bothered to even say happy birthday. I was supposed to go out with my girlfriend today, but I ditched her for Lisa. I don't like Lisa as more than a friend. Do I?
Me: Lisaaaaa!
Lisa: What Julian?
Me: I love you Lisa. Happy birthday.
I kissed her. I was nervous as hell, but I kissed her. She kissed back. I know that was her first kiss. She was my first kiss too. She doesn't even realize that I love her.
*Flashback Over*
Man, I miss those days. This one time Lisa dyed her hair pink and her dad went ape shit. It was hilarious. He nearly shaved her head. I was scared she was gonna get in trouble, but her mom saved the day. Don't get me wrong, her mom is lovable as hell, but she's gonna fuck you up if you mess with her babies. Lisa has an older brother and a younger sister. Her brother hates me. and her sister has a crush on me. I know I look good and all but damn.
We drive for another hour or so until we reach this "hidden beach" that we loved going to when we were younger. In reality it was just a cave made out of rocks and sand, but if you walked to the end of it, there was a sort of private beach. I'm pretty sure nobody knows it exists. I hope she remembers it.
We finally get here and now I gotta wake her up. This ought to be fun.
Me: Lisa.
Lisa:....
Me: LISA
Lisa's hand moves.
Me: Lisa Nicolette Marie August
She wakes up and glares at me.
Lisa: Julian. Shut. Up.
I smile and get out of the car so I can open her door. She gets out of the car and yawns. She's like a little kid when she's sleepy. I've watched her sleep before. Don't get the wrong idea, I always stayed at her house and she always was at my house. Our parents trusted us for some strange reason. Maybe they knew we were gonna be together...
Lisa's POV
I half-asleep and really cold. I don't know where I am right now. Usually when stuff like this happens in movies, the cute little black girl gets sacrificed. Oh hell. My fiancé wouldn't do that to me, would he? I need to pray.
The Lord is my shephard--
I get cut out if my mental prayer by Julian rambling about something. He's just so aggravating and fine...
Julian: ...so yeah.. I mean I doubt you remember where we are right now and I can't blame you but Lisa..Lisa? Lisa? Are you listening?
Me: I am now. I was praying.
Julian just shakes his head and laughs.
Julian: Why were you...? I'm not gonna question you. Anyway close your eyes.
For once I did as I was told. He picked me up and threw me on his shoulder as if I were a rag doll. I'm not that light.
Me: Julian, put me down now.
I couldn't help but giggle. It's kinda cute. Julian just ignores me and keeps walking. I can tell he's smiling. He's so damn goofy. All I know is that we're at the beach.
We, well actually, he walked for a while, then he walked in to this cave and instantly I knew where we were. All of the memories came flooding back. We had "found" this place when we were about twelve, and since then it's been our spot.
Julian: Surprise.
He puts me down and I just kinda stare up at him. I'm amazed that he remembers this place. I lost all control of myself and I kissed him like my life depended on it. He was surprised, but he kissed me back. It was only then that I realized that I'm in love with him. I mean I always have been in love with him, but now I can admit it with no regrets. I, Lisa Nicolette Marie August, am in love with Julian Alexander Lopez. I stopped thinking so much and detached myself from him. It seems childish but I ran to the water. I didn't get in cause it was too cold, but I sat near the edge of the water and looked at the moon. It's beautiful....
Julian's POV
I watched Lisa run to the water's edge and sit down. She probably has a lot on her mind right now. She's staring up at the moon like it'll give her answers. For all I know it might. Lisa is one complicated person and I know it's my fault. I still need to make it up to her.
I'm watching Lisa. Wait, that sounds waaay creepier than I had meant it. Okay, anyway, I am watching her and I swear she's the most beautiful woman I've laid my eyes on. Why the hell had I hit her? Or cheated? Or lied? She deserves someone so much better than me. Yet here she is, my fiancée, and mother of my two adorable children. She's perfect.
Lisa: You can stop staring now.
I hadn't noticed she walked back over to me. When did that happen? I looked down at her. Her eyes were brighter. She blushed and looked away quickly. I pulled her face back towards me, and I kissed her. First the kiss was soft and gentle because I didn't want to scare her, yet things got more intense as we both started to let our inhibitions go. Tonight was the night we christened the beach our own...
