OLD Version

Sink or Swim:

Waking up in the arms of my handsome man after spending the night making love for hours on end felt amazing. My mind felt clearer and my body ached in a good way. The soreness serving as a reminder that JJ only wants me, and craves only me. I was flooded with the memories of our bodies continuously bringing each other over the edge, satisfying each other like no one else could.

"Princess?" JJs deep morning voice cut the silence in the room. My eyes opened, noticing it was still dark outside, the sun still hiding behind the horizon.

"I'm awake." I rolled around in his arms and placed a kiss on his neck. "Good morning baby."

"Good morning, Princess." He kissed my forehead before rolling onto his back letting out a laugh, "I'm sore."

I giggled, "I am too."

"You make me happy, Kaila. Thank you for giving me another chance to make things right between us." He turned his head so he could see me.

I placed my hand on his chest and smiled, "I'm too in love with you to not at least try to work on things with you. But you have to prove you want this, Jay."

"I'm too in love with you to not try to be the man you deserve." He pulled me close and kissed my forehead. "I have plans for us this morning, we have to hurry before the sunrise though."

"Now I'm excited." I sat up and ran my hands through my hair to tame my bed head, before climbing over JJ to get dressed.

"Wear something comfy but have a bikini on underneath." He pulled on his clothes and headed to the bathroom.

--------------------------------------------

It wasn't long until we were sitting on a blanket in the sand sipping on mimosas and eating breakfast watching the sunrise. JJ had gone into the store on the way here, picking my favorite flowers and snacks.

"I could get used to this kind of treatment, Jay. This is too sweet." I leaned against him and kissed along his jaw to his ear. "I love being with you."

"Anything for my Princess." He smiled as I continued kissing his neck, "And I love being with you too. It was never just about the sex, and I want to prove that by doing fun stuff like this. Just enjoying each others company."

"We can enjoy both. Sex and the cute couply stuff." I giggled when he flashed me a grin as he cocked his head to the side.

"I can do both. You'll see how serious I am, get ready cause I'm going to be all romantic and shit all the time." He poked my cheek and laughed with me.

"I cant wait to see how romantic and sweet you are with me." We connected our lips, savoring the feeling of being together.

"Lets go surf, I brought our boards." He jumped up and ran off to grab our boards from the Twinkie. He was already shirtless when he returned a few minutes later, so I stripped my own clothes off and grabbed my board from him before racing off into the waves.

This was the first time I've surfed since I'd come home, and it felt good. I've never gone this long without surfing which made me sad, I let myself get caught up in all the bad stuff that I forgot about my passions. I haven't even picked up my writing journal since before my birthday while I was in Barbados. I made a promise to myself to always make time to surf and write, I can't forget that now that I'm back home. Note to self: Don't forget who I am and what I've worked hard for.

I let my thoughts wonder on happy things as we shredded the waves. I sat and admired JJ has he surfed, then he'd watch me as I took my turn. I couldn't help but drool over how dreamy he looked. The water reflecting off his chiseled abs and back muscles. Fuck, and that's all mine to enjoy.
