// Two Weeks Later //

"Gimme that." Justin takes carry-on bag off my shoulder, throwing it over his.

"Thanks." I smile, craving to hold his hand but disappointed that they were both full. I let them dangle at my side as we walk through the wide airport halls.

The last two weeks were all I could ever want. They more than perfect. They were...indescribable. Justin took me to the beach several times and once to this this quaint little carnival. We also visited a few different clubs and even went shopping. Sometimes we would just walk around in the streets and enjoy each other's company. And our nights? I'm not even going to get into detail. Every night was a dream come alive. It's sad to leave the Bahamas behind. All I know is that now we're going to Los Angeles where we'll be living. Justin hasn't given me much detail except for that. He claims there are more surprises to come.

"You do approve of L.A., right?" Justin breaks the silence between us.

"Huh?" I look at him and nod. "Definitely. I've lived there half my life and always loved it. Besides, the heart of your career is in L.A."

Justin simply smiles as he releases a sigh of relief. "Good. I didn't want us living somewhere you didn't feel comfortable."

"Justin," I point out. "As long as you're near, I'm comfortable."

His smile widens. "I love you."

"I love you too." I reach up and plant a quick kiss on his lips before we continue to walk.

About an hour later, we're sitting in the plane, my head against Justin's shoulder.

"Why won't you tell me what other surprises are waiting for me?" I decide to ask him, draping my leg over his.

"It's a surprise, hence the word surprise." Justin chuckles. "Let's just say you'll love it."

"I better love it." I joke, pressing my lips against his bare arm.

"You will." Justin assures me, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me close. "Definitely."

"Where are we going?" I ask Justin he leads me hell-knows-where, his hands covering my eyes. Once we arrived, we took a cab somewhere into L.A. where it dropped us off at some random corner. From then on, all I could see what the darkness between my eyes and Justin's hands.

"You'll see." Justin says. "Just keep calming straight."

I did as told, taking cautious steps forward in hopes of not tripping. About five minutes later, Justin orders me to stop.

"Here we are." I can literally feel the smile in Justin's voice. "Three...two...one..." His hands from from my face. "Surprise."

My eyes flutter open. I blink a few times to clear my vision and then I gasp. In front of me stood the most beautiful house I'd ever seen. It was two stories high with a tower that indicated a spiral staircase. The porch what elegant with a cobblestone driveway and sidewalk leading up to it. Surrounding the driveway and parts of the house stood beautiful palm trees along with the greenest grass I'd ever seen. A gorgeous balcony led out of what seemed to be the master bedroom on the second floor and overall, the house had this beautiful beige color to it. Every little detail is simply too much to describe. It was the most beautiful house I'd ever seen.

"What is this?" I manage to ask after I'm done gaping.

Justin's house falls around my shoulders. "Our house."

I don't know why, but I begin to shake my head. "No, no, no. It can't be. Our house? Justin, that's a castle! For two people? I guarantee you I'll get lost in that thing!"

Justin chuckles. "It's to enjoy our time together, babe. Who knows what the future will bring? Kids, maybe? But right now, we've got the this all to ourselves." He motions to the house with hand. "I know you love it, Car. I saw the look on your face."

"It's...it's beautiful." I stutter, taking Justin's hand and squeezing it. "But you really shouldn't have."

"The look on your face was worth every penny." Justin smiles, leaning down and pressing his lips to my cheek. "But that's not all."

Confused, I raise an eyebrow. "What do you-"

"That is the biggest kitchen I'd ever seen." A familiar voice interrupts. "Whenever you're too lazy to cook, I'd take the job anytime."

"Aunt Marci!" I exclaim, running to embrace my aunt, the women I love that had raised me just like a mother would. "What are you doing here?!"

Aunt Marci kisses my cheek as she hugs me back. "What do you mean what am I doing here?"

"We decided to move to L.A. Their hospitals really welcomed me."

"Jack!" I grin, pulling away from Aunt Marci and going over to hug the man I had grown to love like an uncle. "You're really moving here?!" I squeal and we pull away.

Aunt Marci nods. "We bought a house a few streets away, though it's nothing like this one."

I giggle, still in shock of the occurring events.

"They have a basketball court?!" A boy appears, his face in complete awe. "And the pool? Did you see the pool?!"

"Oh gosh! Cale!" I almost explode in happiness as I run over, wrapping my arms around the guy I considered a brother and best friend. "You too?!"

He shrugs, giving me a tight squeeze before pulling away. "I'm staying with your aunt for a few weeks as I try to get a job and rent out an apartment. I wanted to be closer to Selena, you know?"

"That's your excuse?" Selena appears, her hands on her hips. I squeal, going over to hug her as well.

"Sel!" Selena and I have become best friends ever since her and Cale got together. Who would have known? Especially after everything that happened between her and Justin.

"I think the only reason Cale moved here was to get away from the South and be around all the California girls." Selena jokes as we break apart.

"Aw, that's not true, baby!" Cale pouts, wrapping his arms around Selena. "You know you're the only girl for me."

"Mhm." Selena kisses him.

"Surprised?" Justin asks, taking me off guard as his hands find my waist.

"Very." I admit, allowing him to pull me close. "Anything else?"

"Nah." Justin shrugs. "I didn't want to overdue things."

"Too late for that." I mutter, referring to our castle-like home.

All Justin does is chuckle and kiss my forehead.

"We should leave." Aunt Marci interrupts. "We've got a truck to finish unloading. It was great to see you, baby." She kisses my cheek as well as Justin's. Jack waves goodbye to us as Aunt Marci takes his hand they walk away to wherever their car was parked.

"We should leave you guys alone to explore the house." Selena says. "Besides, I want to show Cale mine."

"But I have to unpack." Cale blurts.

Selena frowns, crossing her arms. "You don't want to see my house?"

Cale's eyes widen. "Yes! Of course I want to see your house!"

"That's not what it sounded like just then." Selena snaps, beginning to walk away.

"No! Yes! Selly, please!" Cale jogs after her. "Baby, don't do this!"

I chuckle as Justin holds out his hand.

"May I have the honor of escorting the princess to her palace?" Justin asks in a formal manner.

I smile and take his hand in mine. "The honor is yours, my prince."
