I did not cheat on Justin. I did not cheat on Justin.
Those six words were the only things running through my mind as I anxiously walked to where we were gonna meet up.
I did not cheat on Justin.
Technically, we were broken up when I slept with Luke. So that's not cheating, right?
Right?
I was a couple of blocks away from the parking lot of the mall, and from where I was, I could already see Justin as he leaned on his car.
The moment he saw me, his face lit up.
Me? Well, I was still worried. I did not cheat on Justin. I did not cheat on Justin...
"Hey" he greeted
"Hey" I answered
"Kyls" Justin began as he took my hand and sighed "I'm so sorry about yesterday. I was just in such a bad mood and I took it out on you and I'm.. I'm so sorry"
I gulped.
He was out here apologizing and all I could think of was the fact that I slept with Luke. Just hours ago.
Shit, I'm a horrible person, aren't I?
"It's.. fine. Really. I understand. Luke..." I began, choking as I tried to block out what just happened with Luke "He told me what happened"
Justin sighed in relief.
"So are we good?" Justin asked. It took me a couple of seconds before I flashed him a smile.
"Yeah" I said "We are"
Justin flashed me a smile before pulling me in for a hug.
"Let me make it up to you, Kyls" he mumbled through my shoulder before pulling out of the hug and grabbing my hand.
He then opened the door to his front seat and stepped back so I could go in before closing it and heading towards the driver seat.
The entire car ride was silent. I think it was because Justin was thinking about what words to say. I think.
Oh wait. That was me. Ahaha ha ha. Ha.
It was already nighttime, so I had no idea why Justin decided to bring me to the beach. Some schools haven't ended the year yet so I'm assuming that was the reason why there weren't any other cars parked.
"Did you seriously just bring me to the beach? At this time?" I asked him as soon as he parked his car. Justin shrugged.
"Thought it was gonna be romantic somehow" he said before flashing me that sweet smile of his that I could not, for dear God, resist.
"But for real, Kyls. I'm really sorry about everything" he said as he gripped my hand.
I looked down at my hand with his hand gripping it, before looking up to meet his eyes again.
"Okay. I forgive you" I answered, making him grin before leaning forward to capture my lips.
I pulled him closer to me and began deepening the kiss before he pulled me and I began straddling him.
Justin's hands made their way on my thighs then inside my shirt until it reached my back of my bra and unclasped it like a pro.
"Congratulations baby!" He said before pulling me in for a kiss. "You're a college babe now. Technically" he added before earning a soft punch from me.
"So" Dave began "How about we wait for you in the car so we could all go to dinner, and you find your friends"
"Okay" I said before pulling Justin's hand to look for Mitch, Claire, and Kenzie.
The first person I found was Mitch, who was busy taking pics with her mom and brother. As soon as she saw me, she ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"Bitch, we're going to college!" She exclaimed as she hugged me tighter.
"I know" I answered as I giggled. Mitch pulled out of the hug before Claire and Kenzie walked over to us.
Mitch took out her phone and handed it to Justin.
"Loverboy, would you be a good boyfriend right now and take a picture of us?" Mitch said. Justin simply smiled before doing what Mitch told him to do
"So. We're going to Aiden's party later, right?" Kenzie asked
"Hell yeah we are!" Claire replied.
"Are we gonna bring dates tho?" Mitch asked before the three of them looked at me.
"I am if you are" I tell them "Text me later if you guys are bringing dates so I'll know when to shoo Justin or bring him" I added in a low voice, earning eyerolls from the three.
I flash them a smile before waving goodbye to them and pulling Justin yet again.
"You know you whisper really loud, right?" Justin said, making me laugh.
"It was meant for you to hear it" I tell him. Justin rolled his eyes before putting his arm around my shoulders and planting a kiss on my temple.
