Chapter 15

                                    

                                          
Ariana's POV
                          
"Ari. Wake up." Jessica says.
                          
I open my eyes, looking around.
                          
"Come on." She says.
                          
I unbuckle my seatbelt and get out of the car, still adjusting to the light. Justin walks around the car and wraps his arm around my waist.
                          
"Tired, eh?" 
                          
I shrug and we walk upstairs to my room.
                          
"I'll be back, sweetness." He says, kissing my forehead.
                          
"I don't wanna go to sleep." 
                          
"Then why'd you make me walk all the way up here?"
                          
"I didn't know what was happening. I was half sleep!" 
                          
"I guess that makes sense."
                          
"Do you have to leave?" 
                          
"No. Its Saturday." 
                          
"Well can you stay?"
                          
"No. And neither can you. We're going to the park." I nod, getting off my bed.
                          
"Let's go." He takes my hand and we walk downstairs.
                          
"We're going to the park. Do you wanna come?" He says to Jessica and Ashley.
                          
"Sure. The park is fun." Jessica says.
                          
"Well, come on." They get off the couch and follow us back to Justin's car.
                          
At The Park
                          
"What do we do now?" Ashley says.
                          
"We're at a park. We sit down. Duh!" I reply.
                          
"I'm not sure that's what you do, but if you want."
                          
"I just walked all the way from the car to here. I need to rest."
                          
"Aren't you a cheerleader? I'm sure you can stand to walk 30 feet." Justin says.
                          
"I can't. I'm too lazy for that."
                          
"OK. Whatever you say." We sit on a bench next to a pond and I watch some ducks fight over a piece of bread, constantly moving hair out of my face.
                          
"How do you handle that?" Justin says.
                          
"Handle what?"
                          
"Your hair always in your face." 
                          
"Well, its not always in my face. But I guess its just something that comes with being a girl." 
                          
"I couldn't do that. Girls are weird, but some of them are really special." He smiles at me and I blush.
                          
"Thanks."
                          
"Let's go for a walk. We'll be back." Justin says.
                          
Jessica and Ashley nod and we walk to the path.
                          
"So, what's your favorite color?" He says.
                          
"Why?" 
                          
"Because I want to know."
                          
"Its lavender. What's yours?" 
                          
"Green and blue."
                          
"So turquoise?"
                          
"No. Green and blue." 
                          
"But turquoise is easier."
                          
"But I like green and blue."
                          
"OK, fine. But turquoise is still green and blue."
                          
"I know that. But turquoise is them mixed together. I like them separate." 
                          
"OK, OK, OK. Whatever."
                          
"Hey." He says.
                          
I turn around, about to say what, when he puts his lips on mine. He pulls away and looks me in the eyes.
                          
"You know I love you, right?" I nod, unable to speak.
                          
"Good. Come on." I walk next to him around the huge pond and back to the bench.
                          
"Welcome back, love birds. How was your walk?" Jessica says.
                          
"Fine. Why do you need to know?" I ask, sitting down.
                          
"I don't know."
                          
"Then why'd you ask?" 
                          
"Ariana, stop being difficult. Do you want to go on another walk?" Justin says.
                          
"If it includes that kiss again then sure." I stand back up and he smirks.
                          
"I was kidding." I giggle and Jessica stands up.
                          
"I'm bored. How about we go back to your house and be normal teenagers who stay on their phones all day?"
                          
"Sure. That sounds like fun. Justin, time for you to drive back." 
                          
"Oh, yay." He says sarcastically as we walk back to the car.
                          
At The House
                          
"I'm going to take a shower. Will you be here when I'm done?"
                          
"That depends on if you take a 5 hour shower or not."
                          
"I won't. See you in one hour and one hour only. I promise." 
                          
"I guess I can deal with one hour for you, sweetness." I smile and walk upstairs to my bathroom.
                          
1 Hour Later
                          
I open my door and walk into the hallway, going downstairs.
                          
"Ariana, where are your clothes?" Jessica says.
                          
"I didn't feel like getting dressed. At least I'm not completely naked."
                          
"This is so wrong." She says, looking back at her phone.
                          
"I'm enjoying this." Justin says.
                          
"Of course you are." Jessica replies.
                          
"I mean, he's not wrong. I am very sexy." I giggle and she shakes her head, laughing.
                          
"You are." I smile and walk over to him, sitting in his lap.
                          
"Hello sweetness."
                          
"Hi." I whisper.
                          
"You should know I'm trying very hard to not rip you apart right now." 
                          
"Oh are you? Well that's too bad. You're not getting any from me." I smile and get off his lap, going upstairs to get dressed.
