NO MORE ‘HARD TO GET’

Chapter 10

THE NEXT WEEK

We’ve been practicing everyday since the first day, and Justin’s been doing a lot of awkward things to try to change my decision. It almost worked yesterday when he offered to take me out to dinner, and I didn’t accept it. I know…silly ol’ me.

“Christine” I turned around to see Justin with roses in his hands. “These are for you” I smiled.

“Thank you” I accepted them and smelled them. “Why are you doing all of this for me?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know…first the diamond ring, that was worth a couple of grand. The sweet poems. The song that you song to me. The offer on dinner, which I turned down, and now the beautiful roses”

“Oh. Well I wanted to let you know that you’re special to me. Could we go somewhere private to talk?” I looked around.

“What about rehearsal?” he looked at his watch.

“It doesn’t start until an hour from now”

“Okay. I guess. Let me just go put these in some water. I’ll be back” I walked in the kitchen and poured a glass of water and sat the red roses in them. I smelled them once more than turned around.

“Oh” I jumped. “You scared me”

“Sorry” he said walking slowly towards me.

“I didn’t know you were…” he walked up closer to me as I backed up against the wall. We stared in each others eyes as our faces got closer…and closer… until Beverly walked in. My eyes focused on her, as I moved from underneath Justin.

“OH…hi Beverly” I said nervously.

“Hey” she looked at the both of us suspiciously. “What are you guys up to?” she asked pouring herself a glass of juice, and gulping it down afterwards.

“Well…we were on our way out the door”

“Out the door?” she looked at the two of us.

“Yeah. We were going somewhere private to talk…about a few things”

“OH. Okay. Well you better hurry. You only have…” she looked at her watch. “…55 minutes”

“Oh yeah. Right. I’ll see you later” we headed out the door.

“So whose car are we taking?” I asked, looking at mine.

“Mine” he walked as I followed him to his car. We ended up at a Mercedes Benz, M Class, just like mine.

“I have the same car. And the same color” I said getting in the car.

“I guess we have something in common” he cranked up the car and drove off.

“So. Where are you taking me?” I flipped my hair behind my back.

“Nothing fancy. Just somewhere where we could talk” he smiled.

He pulled up at a deserted beach and got out. he opened the door for me and I got out and stood by him. I looked around.

”This is beautiful”

“I know” he said looking at me. I had a feeling he wasn’t talking about the beach. I locked my arm with his arm and followed him to a spot to sit down. We sat on the sand, close to each other and looked out at the ocean.

“Christine” I looked at him. “I know the other night, when I forced you to give me an answer was highly rude. And I blame myself for it. I didn’t ask you the right way, and I’m sorry. So what I’m going to do this time is ask more politely. Would you let me do that?”

“Sure “ I smiled.

“Okay. So one more time” he sighed. “Christine…I love you, and I know I’ve only known you for 2 weeks…well actually 3 weeks from the incident, but It feels like I’ve known you for a long time. I’ve never felt this way about a human being before. I truly want to get to know you very well, but I have to have your permission first. So I’m gonna ask you one more time…your entitled to give me any answer you feel like it, okay?” I nodded my head, just anxious for him to ask me. “So…would…” I pressed my finger on his lips to quiet him.

“Shh” I lowered my face to him, and pressed my lips against his full lips. I broke away. “Does that answer your question?”

“Yes it does. Could I have another kiss”

“You don’t have to ask me, because I’m you girl…and you’re my boy” he smiled to the comment.

We parted our lips together and enjoyed every moment of it, which seemed like an eternity.
