Chapter 26

All of a sudden the music ended and Justin got up and started walking towards me. He took my hand and asked if we could talk. I nodded my head because otherwise I was speechless, which that doesn’t happen very often.

"Andy, I have made the dumbest mistakes this last month or two and I hurt the people that I care about the most in the process," Justin explained the story of Larissa and I just watched his every move, "I don’t expect you to take me back I just wanted you to know that you mean the world to me and I am sorry I hurt you. I know I promised I wouldn’t hurt you and I never planned on it. Andrea Elizabeth Mack, you have stolen my heart and I am not complete without you. I love you so much. I miss the smell of your hair. I miss the taste of you lips, I miss the feel of your soft skin, I even miss the smell of your morning breath, but most of all I miss you."

I sat there for a minute trying to soak in everything that he had just said. "How do you expect me to believe you when you lied to me about Larissa?" I asked.

"I don’t expect you to I just hope you follow your heart and I may be where your heart leads you."

"Well, I don’t know what to say. I mean you broke my heart into pieces and I am still repairing my heart. But, Justin I love you more than anything and I don’t want to lose you. However, the next time an old girlfriend happens to show up you might want to let me know," I said giving him a stern look.

He looked directly into my eyes and said, "I love you Andy and you are never getting away from me again unless you run away!"

"I love you too, and I think I might just run away," I answered laughing, "now kiss me dammit!

He pulled me to him and first kissed me on my temple then he kissed my lips. My lips had ached for the touch of his lips for so long. We just stood there passionately kissing. We must have looked like wild animals with are tongues going wild. We pulled apart and I said, "How the hell did you set all of this up?"

"It is a long story but I will explain more later just come here," he said pulling me toward him again.

Chapter 27

After Justin and I realized there were about 15 people standing around up watching us kiss, we pulled apart looking around awkwardly. JC, Joey, Chris, and Lance came over to Justin and me. They all gave me a hug and said how much they had missed me.

"Hey, Andy, we were really hoping that you would finish out the tour with us. Your classes won’t start till after the end of the tour and if you don’t open for our concerts I think we will be boycotted," JC said with a grin.

"I would love to but, when do you have to be at your next show?"

"In four days we have a concert at Indiana. Why?"

"Well, you know my ex-love from middle school asked me out on a date for tomorrow and I really wan to go."

"What?" Justin asked.

"I am just joking. I really just wanted to spend some more time in my small boring home town," I responded laughing.

My parents agreed for everyone to stay at our house till the next concert. We all carried their bags inside. My dad grabbed my arm and said that this time Justin wasn’t sleeping in my room. I laughed and said OK. It was about midnight by the time everyone was situated so everyone went to bed while Justin and I stayed awake lying on the love seat in my porch.

"Hey, you still have that?" Justin asked eyeing the ring on my finger he had given me.

"Yes, because it was like the one last thing I had of yours. Besides I like it and just cause you were a jerk doesn’t mean I had to throw it away. I didn’t want to give you the pleasure."

"You know the whole time you were gone I longed for you in every way. I hated to take a shower or even go to sleep because it all reminded me of you. I am glad you didn’t throw that away too, because my feelings never changed they were just pushed aside for a while." He moved his head down to kiss me. I laid on him and we started to really get into it. Justin pulled away and said I don’t think this is exactly the place. I got up laughing and shook my head in agreement. We walked into the house and the other guys were all asleep.

"I love you, Andy."

"I love you, too," we both said and then we parted to go to sleep.

Chapter 28

Back on the road….

We were on our way to Indiana just like old times and I couldn’t be happier. I was nervous to get back on the stage to open for the guys but when I stood infront to the familiar audience I fell right back into comfort. Justin was performing just like before on stage and the fans couldn’t be more exited to see his all to well-known smile. After the concert we all sat down to talk.

"So, how did you set up that whole concert infront of my house without me even noticing?" I asked Justin,

"Well, I came up with the idea and I asked the rest of the guys to help me. I had everything figured except how to get the lights and speakers at your house without you knowing. I knew that your parents were probably furious with me and they were my only help to finishing it so I called them on the phone and apologized and explained my idea. Your mom was OK but your dad needed more persuasion. Your mom said she could get a way to have you be gone long enough so that we could set every thing up and that she would come back after dark so you wouldn’t be able to see the lights or speakers when you got back home. And it looked like it worked just as it was supposed to," Justin explained.

"You sure have a way with getting things done," I laughed.

We stayed up talking and then we went back to the hotel. Justin took my hand and we went to our room. He guided me to the window and said to close my eyes. I closed my eyes and then he left and shortly came back grabbing my hand again.

"You can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes and saw Justin’s eyes glistening at me.

He bent onto one knee and said, "Andrea Elizabeth Mack, I love you in every way possible. We have made it though thick and thin and now I ask, Will you be my one and only partner through all eternity?"

"Oh my!! Justin of course I will. I love you so much!!"

He opened the box that held the ring and took it out to place on my finger. He stood up and I engulfed him with a kiss. He gathered me in his arms and carried me to the bed. He unbuttoned my shirt as I struggled to free him from all of his clothing. He gently laid his body on mine and passionately kissed me slipping his tongue in my mouth. He made love to me in a way that he had never had before. I knew I loved him so much and that we would never ever part. This was proof that dreams really do come true, even to small town girls!!!
