Cold - Johnny Depp ! COMPLETE !

"You & Me..."

I tapped my phone screen lightly, rolling around on the bed, fidgeting with the covers as I mulled over the messages Lily had left.

It hurt to avoid her, but I dont think it's a proper time to debate my situation with her dad and me right now.

For once, I wanted to have something for myself, someone to feel the same as I did. If that person was Johnny, so be it.

I actually don't even know how he feels about us anyway, so talking about it with Lily?...No...

The door opened, then clicked shut. I sat up, scooting to the edge of the bed too peer into the next room.

Johnny set his jacket down, rolling his neck to relax then catching my gaze. I blushed and scurried out of his sight and farther into the bed.

"Were you asleep, sweetheart? I'm sorry if I woke you up." Johnny apologized, but I sat up and shook my head, "You're fine, I was waiting for you anyway."

He sits down beside me, running a hand through his hair before kissing me gently, "Did you want to talk me about something?.." he asked as he pulled away.

I nodded, "Lily is angry with me, but despite that I'm going to tell her about us, right now...I need you to stay with me..." I let it all out, staring at him hopefully. I wasn't sure I could tell her that I wasn't going to leave him for her alone, but if he was here maybe it wouldn't hurt as bad.

After the whole fiasco at our birthday party -that I later explained to Johnny- me and her hadn't talked which was painful. I wanted to tell her about how well he treats me, how good it feels to be his girl, but it would feel...off.

"Alright...whatever you want, love." Johnny smiled and nodded, pulling me closer and kissing me passionately. I felt safe, letting it last a bit longer before I picked up my phone apprehensively.

Here we go..

With a few taps her caller ID popped up, and I waited patiently as the line rang. Johnny watched me, giving me a smile when I glanced at him.

There was click, and then her voice. "So you finally decide to call me back?" I winced at her patronizing tone.

"Yeah...I had no choice." I answered, scooting closer to Johnny, burying my face in his neck for comfort.

"A choice? You think dating my dad is a choice? No, Ari, it's not. Do you know how angry I am right now!?"

I sighed, "Lily, I know, but you're so angry with me you won't even listen!" I raised my voice, but felt so guilty after.

She went silent, then there was laughter, not at all the nice kind, "Listen? Sure, I'll listen to my supposed best friend being my dad's girlfriend! You didn't even tell me! You were sneaking around with him the whole time weren't you!"

I was starting to cry, but covered it up by clenching my phone harder.

"I never meant to fucking hurt you! I'll always be your best friend, but you have to stop acting like I can't have shit for myself! So fucking what if me and Johnny are together? I'm still YOUR best friend! Don't act like I went and spread my legs for him just becuase. I'm NOT leaving him, and you can deal with it however you want, but DON'T YOU EVER THINK I TRIED SCREW YOU OVER LILY!"

At this point Johnny took the phone away, said a few things to Lily, then hung up. I felt terrible and just cried on his shoulder, he hushed me, laying me down with him right beside me.

He was probably exhausted from the premiere and here I was crying like a baby after one argument. I hate it here.

I eventually calmed down, silent sniffles was the only sound left. "Johnny...I'm sorry-" I started to speak but he opened his eyes.

"Don't. It was just a disagreement, knowing you two, you'll be friends again soon." He reassured me, wrapping his strong arms around me, and kissing my forehead.

He might be right...

"I hope so..." I whisper near his ear, letting his fingers trace patterns on my bare thighs.

"You need a vacation, sweetheart." Johnny implies out of the blue and I laugh. "Vacation? Me? I don't think so...but you..."

I paused, caressing his face lovingly, taking in the definition of his tanned skin, and sharp features, "You've been such a busy man, trips all around the world, interviews....you need the vacation...not me..."

I smiled warmly, and Johnny reached a hand up to push some hair out of my face, "We both need to get away then."

I felt flutters in my stomach as he said that, with that look on his face, his arms around me, all of it seemed to sink in. I really was his, and he was mine.

The man I'd fallen for since I was young, and only dreamed of meeting wanted me to go on vacation with him.

I did the only right thing to do in a situation like this, "What's our destination then?" I sat up, biting back a smile as I undid my dress from the back. It was annoying, and I had a feeling Johnny might have it off anyway.

Johnny watched me, traveling his eyes down and back up again before answering me, "The Bahamas." He pulled me down to kiss me then, ending any conversations for the night.

I love the sound of that...
