It All Started With A Tweet

Chapter Twenty Two

She nodded, quiet for a few minutes. "Did I pass the test?" I joked, looking for her approval.

"Yes, you did," she laughed.

"Hey, do want to go take a walk?" Justin asked, walking into the kitchen. I nodded, drying my hands, then following him. "You need to relax a bit," Justin said.

"What?"

"You were so tense in there," he laughed, rubbing my shoulders. "Loosen up, they're gonna think you have a stick up the you-know-what," he laughed again, and I laughed along.

"I just want to make sure they like me," I explained, sighing.

"Babe, as long as I love you, so will they," he said, taking my face in his hands.

"Promise?" I said, looking into his eyes.

"I promise," he whispered, kissing me. We walked down the street, until we got to a little park. I ran towards the swings and climbed on.

"Push me!" I said, giggling. He came up behind me and sent me soaring, before he climbed onto the swing next to me. I jumped off the swing and landed on my butt with an "Oh!"

He landed next to me, laughing. Unlike me though he landed on his feet.

"Show-off," I mumbled, holding my hands out for him to help me up.

"Nah, I just grew up on those swings," he laughed, spinning me around. "We should probably head back," Justin said, taking my hand.

"Woah, okay." I said, walking funny.

He laughed,"here," he knelt down and gave me a piggy back ride back to the house.

"Looks like you two had fun," Patti laughed, seeing my dismount in the front yard.

"Thank you, kind sir," I teased. He bowed, "anytime princess."

"Elena, we got the guest bedroom ready, we don't allow the two of you to sleep together," Patti explained.

Justin groaned beside me,"Mom, you could have just said she had to stay in a seperate room," his face was red.

"Just making it clear Justin, you don't have to be embarrased," she patted his cheek before going back inside.

I broke out into hysterical laughter, Justin looked at me like I was on drugs. "What is so funny?"

"You're face," I said, gasping. "You were so embarrased," I laughed some more.

"Yeah, it was really funny." He said, going to walk inside.

"Hey, hey," I said, grabbing his hand. "I'm sorry, I've just never seen that side of you. You're always so confident, you're ready for anything."

"Yeah well, that's just the outer layer, my mom can still catch me off guard," he laughed a little. "Let's go sit and cuddle a bit before we have to be seperated," he laughed, taking my hand. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

"Move over! Your feet are so cold!" I squealed, as Justin climbed into bed next to me the next morning.

"Shhh! You'll wake up the whole house!" He whispered, laughing.

"You shouldn't be here! You're breaking the rules!"

"Rules shmules! I missed you!" He said, wrapping his arms around me.

"I saw you..." I calculated the time we had spent apart, "Nine hours ago!"
