*Chapter 13*In Love at Last*

"Sing for me," Ali said quietly looking at the ground.  "Sure, what's your favorite song?" Justin asked lifting her chin up and looking her in the eye. "Well, I've always loved 'God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You'," Ali replied.  "Okay, that’s my favorite too," Justin said with a smile.  He sat up straight and took both Ali's hands in his.  This was the most nerve-wracking performance of his entire singing career.


"Can this be true, tell me can this be real
How can I put into words what I feel
My life was complete, I thought I was whole,
Why do I feel like I'm losing control
I never thought that love could feel like this,
and then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me,
There's an angel, it's a miracle.

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep,
your soul is like a secret that I never could keep.
When I look into your eyes I know that it's true,
God must have spent a little more time on you."

Justin sang with the most passion and love he'd ever sung with, and he never took his eyes off Ali's the entire time.  Ali was breathing deep and tears were coming to her eyes, his voice was so beautiful.  When he finished he just flashed his killer smile that made Ali melt the first time she saw it.

"Thanks, that was beautiful," Ali said.  "So are you," Justin said leaning his forehead against Ali's and looking her in the eyes.  Ali just took a deep breath and smiled at him.  "The timing couldn't be more perfect than this," Justin told himself.  "Ali, I've gotta tell you something," Justin said slowly.  All the blood was rushing to his head and he could barely breathe.  His heart was beating so fast he thought it would explode.  He took a deep breath, "Ali, I love you.  I've loved you since the second I saw you," Justin said slowly. "There, I did it," he told himself.  He felt so relieved, like a million bricks had just been lifted off his chest.

Ali swallowed hard and took a deep breath.  "I love you too, Justin," she said smiling and looking into his eyes.  He moved his hands up and brushed them through her hair, then moved them to her face.  She ran her fingers through his curls.  She remembered the first time she saw him, how cute she thought his hair was.  It seemed like they met so long ago, like they'd been through so much together.  Justin moved his face closer to hers as his whole body trembled, anticipating their first kiss.  Ali moved her face closer to Justin's, as her hands were shaking now as she ran them through his hair.  "You are my angel," Justin whispered into her ear and chills took over her body.

Their lips met for the first time, and they shared the sweetest, most passionate, most loving kiss ever.  They were in love.  And they were still best friends---best friends in love.
