Kie's POV:

The next morning, JJ and I got in my car and we followed my parents back to the Outer Banks. It was a pretty long drive, so we stopped at a hotel for the night. My parents ended up getting a suite that had one bedroom and a pullout couch which I was sharing with JJ. It was super funny because we laid down next to each other and he was laying on the very edge of the bed.

"Why are you so far away?" I whispered

"Your parents are literally right there"

"So, they can't see me and my boyfriend in bed together"

"Gross, don't say it like that" JJ said

"Relax, stop being paranoid. We're fully clothed, we're adults who are engaged, and we are just sleeping" I said kissing him goodnight

We got home late last night and I moved all my stuff back into my parent's house as we were leaving for our trip in a week. We didn't have a big plan for the trip, we were just going to go and see what happens. We were going to start the trip by flying to Costa Rica. We spent the next week saying goodbye to our friends, packing, and preparing for our upcoming adventure.

My parents brought us to the airport and we were off on our adventure. It was epic, we surfed and met many locals. We worked a few hours everyday and in return, we got to stay in a small hut on the beach for free. Today, we woke up early and caught some waves and then went to harvest the fruit for two hours. We ate lunch and went back out and hit the waves. JJ insisted on going fishing after that and he caught us dinner, which he cooked over the fire.

I loved watching him, he was totally in his element.

"You know, I love how the simplest things make you so happy" I said admiring my fiance

"Doesn't take much to make me happy, all I need in life to be happy is you"

"Jayge, we're engaged... You don't have to be all flirty"

"I'm never going to stop flirting with you, ever. I don't care if we are ninety years old in a nursing home, I'm still going tell everyone how sexy my wife is" He said which made me laugh

"Yeah, we'll see how sexy you think all my wrinkles and saggy tits are"

JJ laughed and said, "Yeah, well don't hate me when I can't get it up anymore without viagra and you're drier than the Sahara desert"

"Okay, stop that day better never come"

"And if it does you'll never cum again" He laughed at himself as he kissed me

"We better take advantage of our young bodies while we can" I said crawling on top of him as we made out on the beach which we eventually brought the whole make out sesh to our small hut on the beach and did more than just mack

This is what life looked like us for the next month. We saw most of South America and now we were on a plane to Spain. We were super excited to see Europe. We were going to backpack though Europe. We loved Spain, the waves were incredible and JJ tried using his poor Spanish skills. Needless to say, I did most of the talking. We were in the city of romance and love and I spent the night throwing up.

JJ stayed by me in the bathroom and he was so kind and he rubbed my back and held my hair back. We went to bed and decided to spend another day here because we didn't want me sick on the train. I was feeling much better and we took a train down to Italy where there were some amazing surfing spots.

We arrived and we were doing one of those programs again where we worked on a vineyard for a few hours in exchange for place to stay. There were some people our age doing the same thing.

They were pretty cool and we enjoyed working with them, however, JJ and I loved going out to adventure together. We got up early and hit some incredible waves and then I didn't feel the greatest, must be because I didn't eat breakfast.

We went back and ate and I felt much better. JJ was taking me out on a date tonight he said. I was excited, even though this whole trip was just like one really long date, this was going to be fun.

I got dressed up in a cute sundress and he took me into Rome where they saw the famous landmarks and had a romantic dinner. We watched the sunset and then he kissed me, "I'm so happy that you offered to hook up with me that night... I can't imagine my life without you"

"Me too, crazy that this whole thing started as a no strings attached thing and now look where we are"

"We're getting married" He smiled

"Yeah, we are" I smiled back as we headed to the place we were staying

I'll admit, this isn't exactly how we wanted to do Europe,  but it was the only option we had without spending thousands of dollars. JJ didn't seem to mind and we loved the adventure, next up for us were a few more European countries and then we were headed to Africa .
