Justin layed there all night looking at Jessica. They didn't do anything, well, actually they kissed all night. The both want to take it slow. It is their way of guarding themselves from hurt. He looked at her and wondered how he's going to leave her in three weeks. He will just have to cherish and take advantage of what little time they do have. He looked over at the clock, it was 5:00 and still dark. He loved the dark, for some reason he could think more clearly. It's because the his day was always living for other people. At night he could be selfish, think about him and his plans for the future. Even if that included taking a break and raising a family. Jessica stirred in her sleep. He gently brushed his hand across her face and was inspired to write a song. He had only written non-emotional songs. Now he could finally write a ballad. He pulled the pen and pad of paper and started to write.
Times Like these are supposed to be cherished
Times like these are meant for love
Every minute I spend with you is heaven
You're an angel from up above
No matter the way
No matter the consequence
I'll be right by your side
You're my Angel and I'll be yours
We've known each other for only a little while
and yet I know I'll be right by your side
Sharing your dreams, fears, and happiness
No one can break our love
Justin started humming to himself, which woke Jessica up. She lay there with her eyes closed listening to Justin sing. She was overcome with emotion and pretending she was still asleep turned over to her side and let Justin continue humming softly. She sat there thinking about the days to come.
"What if he finds out?" Jessica panicked. She started breathed heavily and tried to hide the tears to no avail. Justin stopped and enveloped her.
"What's wrong? Bad dream?" Justin was genuinely concerned. She looked pale and she was sweating.
"Yea, you could say that." Justin smiled. And kissed her forehead.
"Want me to sing to you? I know how you love my voice." Jessica playfully hit him.
"You know what I love about you? You're not afraid to be modest. But yes, please, get me back to sleep."
"What would you like me to sing to you?" Jessica thought about this carefully.
"Do you know 'I Need You Tonight' by the Backstreet Boys?" Justin looked shocked. Only when Jess started to laugh did Justin get the joke.
"And you know what I love about you? Your sense of humor." Justin layed down and Jess laid her head on his chest.
"I am so bored. Now I'm awake, so now what should we do?" Jessica pondered.
"I'm up for some trouble making." Justin suggested.
"As am I. Let's go."
