Chapter Seventeen

I didn't even knocked on his door before I opened it and was about to burst when I heard a sniffle. Then another and another, my heart broke and my resolve died. I walked into the room and saw Justin curled up like big ball on his bed considering his height, crying.

I took off my converse leaving only my socks on and I got into the bed with me and he wrapped his arms around my waist firmly and rest his head on my stomach and cried, over and over again.

After a while, all I could hear was soft snores coming from my stomach and I knew he was asleep, he needed it and I too let darkness engulf me completely. Justin nudged me lightly on my arms whispering quietly, 'Kylie' to wake me up. I was enjoying the feel of his hands on mine, tingling shooting up my body engulfing me in a warm embrace.

He moved on top of me and I thought he was going to kiss me as he lean in closer. He moved down to my ear and whisper quietly, 'Get ready', so I pucker my lips up to receive a kiss like I thought but instead I was tickled.

'Tickling'. The worst thing I hate the most.

'Tickling'. The one thing that makes me laugh excessively when I don't want to.

And I was being tickled by Justin and he was hard about it. My eyes flung open and I burst into excessive laughter, he straddled my thigh holding me in place and held my wrists over my head in his left hand and tickled me all over my body.

'I-I'm a-awa-ke', I struggle to say between breaths and Justin stopped abruptly. 'I thought so too', he let me go and got off my lap. I stood up beside him and look out the window to see its dark already. How long did we sleep? I thought.

'It's dark already', I muttered to Justin.

'I guess. We've been asleep for some hours now', he said stating it as a Matter-of-fact.

I crossed my arms over my chest and move over to where Justin stood and I pinched both of his cheeks harshly. He grimaced in pain and whisper yelled, 'what was that for?'.

'You hurt me, Justin. You hurt your parents feelings and your brothers too. It's not fair how you acted towards them', I try sounding hurtful but I had a smirk on my face. I knew he didn't do it intentionally but it still hurt me and I know his parents are hurting too especially his mom.

'I-I'm sorry', Justin say stutteringly.

'And?', I say expecting him to continue.

He pouted and say hesitatingly, 'And please forgive me. I love you', he added cheekily.

'Really? How much did you love me?', I wrapped my hands around his waist and scoot closer to him seeking comfort in his solace.

'Let me show you how much', he lean down and pucker his lips. I removed my hands from his waist and dropped them on his shoulders, he smiled and wrapped his arms around me as well taking my lips in his. I smile through the kiss and he moves his lips against mine tugging on my lower lips lightly.

He slid his tongue in my mouth and I suck on it greedily, savoring the moan that rumble from Justin's chest. I place my hands firm on his chest where his heart beats and he place his hands over mine, shooting sparks like fireworks all around us. We pull apart to catch our breath and Justin moves over to place a chaste kiss on my lips again making me all mushy inside and my legs wobble but Justin held me firm in his hands.

I took Justin's hand in mine and left the room to meet his parents downstairs, I pushed him forward to meet his parents in the kitchen and he gave me the middle finger.

I fake gasp but still kept quiet. I like how Justin is free with me, he is more bold and outgoing these days. I sat with his younger brother on the couch in the living room watching the famous series 'Power'. I heard chirping and laughter coming out from the kitchen and I knew that Justin had made up with his parents, I felt relieved because I don't want him to. do something he's gonna regret since he's ready scheduled for the surgery tomorrow.

I heard my name and I furrow my brow in thought of Justin's surgery and wonder the 'What ifs?'. I felt a pair of lips on me lingering for a while there and I kissed him back knowing perfectly well it is Justin. He's the only one that can make me feel this way with only a kiss.

''Whatcha thinking babe?', Justin ask grinning as he plops down on the couch beside me.

'You', I said grinning at him.

He blushed red and looks down fiddling with the hem of his sweatshirt. I chuckled and kissed his cheek, his dad came into the room and said dinner's ready. We all moved to the dining room and ate, I stayed with Justin in his room for a while and left for mine. I got home and stole into my room quietly not to warrant unnecessary questions from my lovely parents.

I had a shower, read a novel I took from Justin's titled 'The Guest List'. That novel is so interesting, sarcasm, suspense and adventure is so much involved. Turns out the bad person suspected to be doing evil, isn't the one at all. I drift off to sleep after an hour with the book in my hand but with one thought on my mind, Justin's surgery.

I had woke up before my alarm, shocker! I prepared my bed and had my shower. Justin's appointment was at 9am, now it's past eight. After getting dressed, I rushed downstairs and had my breakfast. To say my parents wasn't surprised is a joke, they were overwhelmed, asking if I was OK and not sick. I just shook my head and ate my breakfast shaking my leg fidgety as I eat.

As I dropped my plate in the dish washer, I bolted out the door and race to Justin's house. I met them all getting into the car while Justin stood still, refusing to move. I walked slowly until I got to where he stood and threw my hands at him. I held him tightly and he wrapped him arms around me, his head in my neck rubbing me up and down. I pulled away slightly and he cupped my face in my hands, he leaned down to my eye level and rubbed my nose with his like he used to do.

His hands roamed all over the sides of my face as if he's engraving how my face looked like in his memory. He kissed me on my temple, nose, cheeks, and chin slowly and finally on my lips. He pecked me but didn't kiss me, just let his lips linger there for a while, he titled my head up and snatched his lips on mine harshly. He plunged his tongue into my mouth desperately, kissing my mouth as if it's his last.

We stopped eating each other's face when we heard a 'Humph' from his mother. I pecked his lips once again and held him tight to me. 'I love you', I whispered in his ears. He held me at arm's length and kissed me again, 'I love you so much more', he said into the kiss.

He pulled back and got into the car, his mom waved to me as tears welled up in both of our eyes, his dad drove on leaving me alone on the pavement of their house all alone. I felt like screaming, crying but I still waved back until the car is out of sight, I let the tears fall. I wished he never had to do a surgery, I wish everything was fine between us, no complications at all! But that never seems to happen.

I ran to my house as the rain fall unceasingly. Great, rain had to fall on me when I'm hurt and heartbroken. By the time, I got to the house, I was drenched, soaking all my clothes. I jammed the door, ignoring my parents questions on my whereabouts and why I was drenched in the rain and race to my room. I locked the door behind me and plopped on the bed, I let the tears flow soaking my pillow and let darkness take over my weak body.
