I had asked Lex if she wanted to go take a quick drive and see the stars while everyone was engrossed in the horror film.
“It’s so peaceful and beautiful out here,” Lex said.
We were lying in the back of my truck bed, looking up at the night sky.
“Yeah, it is.”
“I’m going to miss this.” She turned and faced me.
I did the same. “Miss what? The stars?”
She giggled and nodded her head. “That’s one thing I’m going to miss. Will, I’m afraid. What if we meet other people and—”
I put my finger to her lips to stop her from talking. Ever since Lex had gone to UT for a week, she had been acting different. She was unsure of everything, including us.
“Lex, I love you. I’m not going to lie and say it’s not going to be hard to be away from you, your touch, your heavenly smell, and your amazing smile.”
She grinned and looked down. I placed my finger under her chin and lifted her face until her eyes met mine.
“Lex, do you love me?”
She sucked in a breath of air. “Yes! More than anything, Will.”
“Then, have faith in our love.”
Her eyes began to fill up with tears. “Promise me you won’t meet anyone, Will. Promise me.”
I leaned her back and crawled on top of her. I pushed my body against hers. “Lex, no one will ever make me feel the way you do. No one. I promise you, it will always be just you and me.”
“Always you and me, Will. Always.”
I nodded my head and gently kissed her lips. “Always.”
“Make love to me, Will.”
Sitting up, I began taking off my T-shirt and unbuttoning my pants as Lex watched me. She was biting on her lower lip the entire time, and I couldn’t wait to make love to her, to show her how much I loved her.
I got up and started taking off my pants as Lex sat up and began undressing. I had laid a few blankets down in the back of my truck, knowing I was going to be with her tonight. There was no way I would leave tomorrow without giving her another piece of me.
She lay back down, and I took her body in. She was breathtaking. Her body was beyond perfect. She wasn’t stick thin at all. She had beautiful curves and toned muscles that drove me crazy mad.
