TOUGH LOVE

Chapter 5

 Justin squinted his eyes opened to see Rebecca resting her head on his chest. ‘How did she get way up here?’ he thought. He looked around to see no one, but him and Rebecca in the living room. They fell asleep. But how? He doesn’t even remember drowsing off. What time could it have been? He stared at his watch. 11:30 p.m. “What?” Rebecca stirred, and opened her eyes. “Oh, sorry to wake you” she stretched and sat up.

“What time is it?”

“11:30 p.m.”

“What?” he chuckled.

“That’s the same way I reacted”

“How could we have drowsed off? No one bothered to wake us”

“Well, I’m not sleepy anymore” he stood up.

“Where are you going?” she followed him.

“Somewhere away from here” he approached the door.

“Don’t leave me here by myself”

“J.C.’s not here?”

“I don’t think so.” She looked around.

“Go check.”

“Alright” she quickly scanned the house and yelled his name. She approached Justin. “Nope. He’s not here”

“Okay. Well I guess you’ll have to come with me”

“Great.” She quickly put her shoes on and left the house with Justin.

“Where are we?” Rebecca asked as she looked around the deserted area.

“We’re at the beach. I would’ve token you partying, but you need to be 18”

“How old are you?”

“19” she followed him to the water. He laid his jacket on the sand. “You could sit there”

“Thank you” she sat down, beside him. “You are such a gentleman”

“Thank you.” He looked out into the ocean. “You look big for your age. If I guessed…I would’ve thought you were in your 20’s. You’re…so mature.” He said as he eyed her body.

“Thank you. You’re mature too. You’ve got the body of a man. I mean…a grown man.” She laid her head on his lap. He chuckled and rubbed his fingers through her hair. “Mmm. That feels good” she closed her eyes. “How come it feels like I’ve known you for my whole life?” she opened her eyes and stared into his.

“I don’t know. Maybe the feeling is telling us something” she stared deeply in his eyes as his face got closer to hers.

Ring Ring Ring

He looked down to see his cell phone flashing. He picked it up and cut it on. “Hello…yeah. She’s with me…we’re at the beach. Okay. Bye” he hung up. “That was your brother. He just made it home. Do you wanna leave now?”

Um…no.  It feels good here.”

“Yeah. It does.” He brushed her forehead softly. His face became closer and closer to hers when the phone ringed. He picked it up and answered it. “Hello. Who is this? What do you want? Oh really, well it’s too late for that. Bye” he hung the phone up and cut it off.

“Who was that?”

“My ex” she sat up. “So…” he stared at her lips. “…you have the most amazing lips. They’re so pretty” she bit the bottom of her lip sexily.

“You have beautiful lips too. Everything is beautiful on you”

“You think?”

“I know” their lips met. He wrapped his arms around her as he continued to explore every inch of her lip.
