When he pulls away, he places his forehead to mine and I smile.
“Just so you know, I’m head over heels for you too,” I whisper like it’s a secret.
“I know,” he says with a cocky smirk and it makes me laugh.
Until I cut if off immediately.
“What’s wrong?” He asks, confusion evident in his tone.
“I just realized something.”
“What?”
“I’m the bad date this time. Jordan was so nice. The roles are reversed. I’ve become the crappy date! I’ll be the chick he tells all his friends about.I feel so horrible.”
“Sweetheart, you and I, we’re going to be gossip for a while.”
All we can do, is laugh, because it is what it is.
When he kisses me again, I forget all about it.
EPILOGUE
It’s a gorgeous day, the sun is shining and I’m with my two favorite people. Justin, Kimberly, and I are hanging out at a local watering hole and enjoying the water, fresh air, and sun. We’re armed with a cooler full of beer and all kinds of snacks that Justin packed.
It’s pretty much perfect.
Things with Justin and I have only gotten better and better. We spend most of our time together, talk or text on the phone constantly, and genuinely enjoy being together.
I’m happy to say, there’s been no more embarrassing accidents, and all interactions have gone off without a hitch, thank goodness. I really don’t think my dignity could have handled much more.
We’ve come to know each other - in every way - and there’s a special intimacy between two people that share that connection. I never knew that sex with someone could be this good. But it is, and we enjoy it. A lot.
Last night, over dinner in bed, Justin told me he loves me for the first time. Which I happily returned.
We’ve had plenty of perfect dates together and that’s why I’m so enthused for today!
“Kimberly, I’m so excited to finally share a surprise for you!”
Her head swings over to me and over the top of my sunglasses I see her eyebrows pop up, “For me? What are you talking about?”
“Yes, for you! Actually, Justin and I – together - have a special surprise for you.”
“It’s not even my birthday,” she says dryly and full of suspicion.
“Sweetheart, just put her out of her misery,” Justin says lying next to me, sexy body on full display. He’s shirtless and his blue swim trucks fit… just right. I’m already anxious to get him home later. Putting my sunglasses to the top of my head, I look my fill, completely forgetting I was talking to Kimberly.
“Keep looking at me like that, see what happens,” he growls under his breath and I giggle.
“Hellooooo, remember me?” Kimberly says. “Third wheel here wanting to know what this surprise is all about.”
“Soon to join us, any time now, is your date,” I announce happily.
“Excuse me?” Kimberly asks.
“Oh, you heard me.”
“I’m sure that I heard incorrectly,” she says and gets to her feet.Her hands are on her hips and she looks like she’s ready to bolt.
