Chapter 22
One month and a half later...
Once Justin arrived back home from Texas, he called Chanel up and broke up with her. Not the way he would have like to, but it was better he didn't see her. He had spent much of his time with Amelia and somehow fell in love with her all over again and his heart couldn't bear being with someone he never and did not love. To say the least Chanel was quite upset and tried everything to get Justin to change his mind, but he wasn't budging.

Justin wanted to work on furthering his relationship with Amelia, but he had no clue how she felt about him since then. Becoming a family was on his mind a lot since he met his daughter. He had missed so much of her baby life that he was going to make sure to never miss more again. Deciding to take her to his Tennessee home for two weeks, he invited Amelia to come along so he could spend some extra time with her also. His family would be delighted to see her again and she agreed to tag along.

Laying on the grass in his backyard with Jisela on his hips and Amelia at the picnic table watching from afar. He places Jisela in the newly play set he bought to accommodate his daughters stay. He playfully pushed her in the air with her giggling away. After a few minutes on the swing, Jisela got tired of it quickly and chose another thing to play on.

"Daddy, I wan go there," Jisela said, pointing to the sand box with Justin's dogs near by. Lifting her out of the swings, her little feet began to run on the other side where Amelia was. Laughing at his daughter's excitement, he moved his feet. Walking over to her, he took a seat next to her, watching Jisela try and make a castle with the bucket.

"She looks so happy being here J and you two looked so adorable together," she gushed.

"Hahaha....yea she is happy, but she's happier because she has us both," he said, getting Amelia to face him.

Casting her head down,"I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have kept her from you so long." Bringing her head up with his finger, he looked at her with care.

"No. Don't start the blaming game and I wasn't blaming you or anything. You are a great mother, ok?," he encouraged.

"I know. It's just that I'm the one to blame her not having a father and you can't deny that. I lost a lot when I left," she said.

"Yeah, but you back, stop regretting and beating yourself up," sighed Justin.

Smiling, she held a sad look in her eyes,"Yeah, but I was so stupid and insecure that I lost you and I regret that so much," she whispered.

Their eyes locked with each other's for a good few minutes, then they slowly closed the space between themselves. Looking deeper into Amelia's eyes, he saw love, pain, hurt, and they were begging for forgiveness. Wanting to take all those fears and pain away, he leaned in closer and captured her lips very softly. When their lips touched, Amelia swore she felt something go through her body. A soft moan escaped her plump lips as Justin increased the intensity of the kiss. Justin was pulling away from the kiss when she grabbed his face slightly and pulled his lips back to her's.

In her head she was regretting the kiss, but her heart was begging to be with him again. Justin was very shocked at her sudden move. She was surely different then before because she never would take charge in a kiss. Finally, coming up for air, Justin opened his eyes to see her's were still closed. When they opened and made contact with Justin blue orbs, she felt confused all of a sudden.

"Amelia-," not able to finish his sentence, he watched as Amelia run into the house.
I guess some things just don't change. Why does she have to run from me? God, I haven't felt such a kiss like that from another woman ever. She's the only one who can give me the chills up my spine. I have to talk to her later. She's not going to get past me again. I can't let that happen. There is a reason why we met once again.

Inside the house held a confused Amelia who sat on her bed and cried.
I can't fall again. I will only hurt him in the end. But the kiss felt so good and.....and I miss him so much! Gosh, I better go clean myself up. Dinner is going to be ready very soon and I'll have to face him some time.
