Chapter Eleven


    Justin looked at his watch to see that it was almost ten and he grinned to himself. For the next twelve hours it was just him and Misty...alone. And he had a feeling he was going to enjoy every minute of it.
    Justin put an arm around Misty as the limo drove down the highway towards her house, and smiled when she leaned into his comfort. He kissed the top of her head as she shifted closer to him. "You okay?"
    "Mmm-hmm," she mumbled.
    "Sure?"
    "Yeah, I really am," she said softly with a smile as she looked up at him. "Just knowing that Lilly is happy and no longer in pain is comforting. Yeah, I'm gonna miss her, but I'd rather her not have to suffer."
    "You're a good person, Misty." Justin's voice cracked with emotion. "You gave such happiness to her life too, you know?"
    "I know," she said and then kissed him softly. "She fell in love with you. You gave her happiness, too. And I thank you for that."
    "I'll never forget her," he said and then leaned down and captured her lips with his and this time lingered.
    Their first kiss they shared was good, but too short for his sake and he wanted more. He wanted more of her, he thought and then took it when he pried her mouth open with his tongue and plunged in.
    Misty lifted up her hand and gripped a handful of his shirt as she moaned into his mouth, loving the way his mouth fit against hers. Their tongues collided; sliding against each other in a sensual motion.
    He pulled back slightly, only long enough to catch their breaths and then went back for more. He nipped at her lips, teasing her with soft, quick kisses. He almost chuckled when she let out a frustrating moan, but her demanding mouth cut him off. "Aren't we feisty," he teased between kisses.
    "When it comes to you I am," she said breathlessly as she licked her lips.
    The gesture made him groan. "So you really do kiss my poster every night?" he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.
    She let out a laugh and slapped him playfully. "Nooo, I kiss JC's....you were runner up."
    Justin's jaw dropped. "You better be kidding young lady."
    She chuckled and then cupped his face and brought his stunned face down on hers until he was inches away. "You are so gulible," she said and then kissed him long and hard and pulled away when the limo pulled up to her house.
    George opened the door and Misty walked out, with Justin right on her heels. "I knew you were joking."
    "Uh huh," she said dryly with a role of her eyes.
    "Uh HUH!" he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his chest.
    She smiled as they both waddled up to the front door and turned her head to cup the side of his face. "Just drop it and kiss me," she said as they stopped at the door.
    "Gladly," he said and then their lips met as they fumbled for the knob and both stumbled inside.

    "And last but not least," Misty said as she opened the back door and flipped on the pool lights.
    "Very nice," Justin said as he walked outside, enjoying the cool breeze. She had just showed him a tour of the famous singer's house and this by far was the best yet. The pool was set on the edge of the cliff, with ocean glimmering in the distance from the moonlight. The sound of the crashing waves collided with the sound of the small waterfall that spilled from the hottub into the pool.
    "I love it out here," Misty said as she walked to the edge of the pool. "Whenever I am stressed, I'll just come out here and veg...maybe swim some laps."
    He nodded. "I understand, whenever I am stressed I like to play ball or beat the hell out of a punching bag."
    She let out a laugh. "No wonder you're in shape."
    "Uh huh," he said and then lifted his shirt and patted his rock hard stomach. "Nice isn't it?"
    She rolled her eyes. "Please," she said dryly, even though the site of his stomach made her insides dance.
    He wiggled his eyebrows. "Go on...touch it...you know you wanna."
    "Oh, I'll touch it all right," she said and then pressed her hands on it seductively, before pushing him off balance.
    "Woah shit," he laughed as he felt himself falling over, but still had time to quickly grab Misty's wrist, before pulling her in.
    Misty's shriek was cut off when they both fell in the pool, fully clothed. "You jerk!" she said and then splashed him.
    "HEY!" he said and then splashed her back. "YOU started it."
    "You got what was coming to you," she said angrily and then dunked his curls underwater.
    She started to giggle when he tickled her ribs underwater and tried her best to stay afloat, but she eventually went underwater. When she came back up they were both laughing breathlessly, as the treaded water in the deep end. "Let's..go to the..shallow end," Justin gasped.
    "Okay," she said and then swam to him and crawled on his back. "I'm ready."
    "What do I look like, a SOS?" he asked but started to paddle his way to the shallow end.
    She laughed as she linked her arms around his neck and rubbed her wet lips against his ear. "Yes," she said softly.
    He shivered. "Don't tease me.....I'll drown," he said between his teeth.
    "You know you like it," she chuckled.
    "I never said I didn't," he said as he stood in the shallow end and then turned around so that she straddled his front. "But you could have at least waited until we got to the shallow end."
    "Aww," she said as they lowered themselves into the water. "That's no fun."
    He smiled and then reached up to pull back her wet tangled hair. "You're beautiful when you're wet," he said huskily before he leaned down and kissed away a water bead from her shoulder.
    She sighed and clutched his damp curls. "Such a charmer."
    He laughed softly as he ran his lips up her damp neck, catching every with his mouth. "You know you like it," he said.
    She grinned. "I never said I didn't."
    He chuckled and then caught the waterbead that dangled from her earlobe with his tongue, and felt her shiver at the touch. "Cold?"
    "Not at all," she sighed as she wrapped her legs around his waist and snuggled closer. "Justin?"
    "Hmm," he mumbled as he continued giving love bites up and down her neck.
    "At...at the beginning of the day, did you ever....I mean did you think that we would be......."
    "In a pool soaking wet while necking?" he asked for her as he leaned back and smiled down at her.
    She grinned. "Something like that yeah."
    "I told myself from the beginning that I wasn't attracted to you, but I was just fooling myself," he said and then kissed her softly. "You blew me away the moment I laid eyes on you."
    She moaned softly at his sweet words and to his mouth, exploring his mouth with her tongue. "I wanted to hate you," she breathed and then kissed him again. "I tried so hard to hate that...." He kissed her deeply. "Sweet smile and...." He nibbled on her mouth, lightly sucking her bottom lip. "Cute curls," she added as she ran her fingers through them.
    "Like the curls?" he asked as he tasted her once more. He just couldn't seem to get enough of her.
    "Love the curls," she sighed and put her head back as he trailed his lips down her throat. "I wanted to kill you when you shaved them off."
    His lips froze and he looked back into her eyes. "Oh really? I thought you weren't a fan?"
    She grinned. "Oh, I'm not....I just happen to catch that video ya'll did a long time ago....that Janet Jackson one....and I was like....'Where's the curls??'"
    He let out a laugh. "They grew back."
    "Yes, I know.....ooh and speaking of that videoooo, mind doing me a favor?"
    He eyed her. "And what is that?"
    "Sing that line you sang.....the go deeper line....damn that was sexy!"
    "Sexy huh? It turned you on?"
    "Very much so," she said with a grin.
    "What's in it for me?"
    "Hmmm...whatever you want?"
    "Okay."
    "What do you want?"
    "Haven't thought of it yet, but i'll come up with something."
    She laughed. "Okay."
    He pulled her close and then kissed her shoulder. "Now," he said as he ran his lips up her neck. "What was the line? Oh yes...." He skimmed his lips against her ear. "A go deeper baby, deeper," he sang softlly and seductively.
    She rolled her eyes back and groaned as she fell back like she was fainting and went under water. Justin watched her body lay still underwater and he just chuckled as he walked over and pulled her out of the water. He gripped her shoulders and held her up against him. "How was that?"
    She replied by jumping onto him, wrapping her arms around his waist. He stumbled back a bit, and his laughter was cut off by her demanding lips. He moaned against them as his brows arched in surprise and then turn his head to the side...allowing her to deepen the kiss. She finally pulled back and they were both breathless. "Wow," he said and then kissed her softly. "Remind me to say that to you more often."
