Somebody tell this man to stop being so romantic and fucking with my brain. Tell him to stop amazing me with everything he does. If only he'd stop making himself comfortable. Ever since he's propped his feet up, Tripp's put me in a love chokehold. Stop changing how I feel about you.

No matter how plentiful the harvest is, how amazing the plants have grown, the flowers bloom, how clear the water gets, how crisp the air is, and how much the sun has shown itself...

I need him to stop making himself homestead in my space. It's annoying but the good kind; the kind where you want it to go away but you really don't.

Can you believe there's only one day left? A fucking day left until all of this becomes nothing but a memory, another scrapbook journey, another throwback Thursday post.

It's like I'm leaving a moment of paradise that I don't want to go away. Living in this state of ecstasy everyday is all I want to do. You don't get to feel like this all the time and, when you do get the chance, you want to hold onto it.

After our wild moment of stripping, chocolate-covered fun, and other tasty activities, we showered together and that led to a fun aquatic workout, making it a night I'll never forget.

Love-making in the shower wasn't only entertaining but it felt lovely. It was my first time being nasty like that and having shower sex. If I'm not mistaken, it was his first time doing that as well. Either way, it was mind-blowing because it brought along that first-time thrill. You know when you do something exciting for the first time?

My heart is so full and drowning in an ocean of love, spoiled with so much pleasure and happiness. It was like living in a dream with the only person you want.

Waking up this morning brings me down because the thought of not touching him, for a while, frightens me. We couldn't feel, touch, kiss, scratch, nor connect physically every day and it's all because of distance.

I know that I should enjoy my time with him while I can but I can't help but know that moment's coming, knowing that my time here is almost up. Distance makes the air grow so cold and I want to stay in this warm atmosphere we've created together.

The closer we are to leaving, the more I fall for Tripp. Our personalities balance each other out and we want to explore more of what we have to offer each other. There's so much more to know about Tripp and a whole day is not enough time to get all of that in.

How is this going to work for us? I'm willing to go through with this long-distance relationship but it's about to be difficult as hell. A woman has needs and a dildo won't be able to please them all the time.

Tripp has faith in this relationship so I need to find that same amount of faith. He's so sure that nothing will break up our bond and, if he feels that way, I should to. I hope this high feeling goes with me back home because it's something I never want to go away.

Phone calls, video chats, letters, pictures, and text messages will be nothing like the real thing. They can't make up for what I feel right now.

Tripp's loud-ass snoring interrupts my thoughts. Once again, his fine body stretches out across the bed, all flesh halfway underneath the covers. Watching his chest rise and fall is sexy and I grow the sudden urge to lick him.

Then his snoring continues and I catch sight of his drooling. He's sleeping hard as hell but knowing why he is makes me feel good inside. Knocked his ass out.

My phone vibrates against the nightstand and I see that it's Cassidy calling. I completely forgot that I came here with my friends so it's a good thing she's calling.

Once I pick up, Cass is screaming in the phone while everybody else is getting her to shut up.

"J, can you believe it?! Cam's for real moving to Kentucky with me! He's moving there in three weeks! Like, you don't know how good I feel right now!"

Wow. Cass has never been the kind of woman that wants men to follow her like that but I see that Cam's got an access pass. She loves her freedom, flirting with guys, getting in their beds, no kind of cuffs.

Maybe Cam finally got her on lock, ready to settle down with somebody. When we hit that age, many of us want to do this so it's a good thing. This was Cass' time and I was happy for her.

Her overjoyed shriek is overwhelming. She's for real excited about this guy moving in with her. He must care about her since he's moving from the only place, he's ever known, to a whole other place that he knows nothing about. Why would someone do that for a person they don't have feelings for?

I congratulate her on this new chapter in her life. I love seeing other people win, especially those I'm close to. Cass deserves this and I hope that she lives a happy life with him. He better not break her heart.

I can hear Darian's rude comments in the background as Angie speaks, taking over Cass' phone while Cass argues back with Darian.

"I hope you had a fun couple of days with your man. He must've put it on you good, huh?"

Of course, they know where I am. I'm not at the beach house, Cass probably said something about Tripp being at the lounge, and they put all the pieces together. They aren't stupid.

I shyly chuckle as she continues on with her thoughts.

"Check this out. There's a huge ass event happening at the pier this afternoon. They're gonna have some activities on the beach, music with some bars and restaurants open, all that. You coming with us or you gonna take your man to pound town again?"

A last hurrah before we get out of here tomorrow? Why not?

Tripp has to know about this event since this is his hometown so he should be going. If his friends are coming with him, I hope the back up off the rest of us.

"Oh yeah, I'll be there with y'all. I just have to go back to the beach house."

"Your boo gonna drive you back here?"

I shrug off her shade and think of everything I have to do today while standing at the balcony.

Need to change my clothes, put my new things away, catch up with the girls before we go back to home, and get my last few hours of fun in.

After we hang up, I go through all the things that went down on this trip. All the adventures, people I've met, the parties, the things I've learned, and the love I've found.

Am I really in love though? It feels like it.

Speaking of my love, his warm body pushes up against my backside as I lean on the balcony. His hugs feel like warm teddy bear hugs with a side of kisses on my cheek.

How can I leave a life like this?

Spoiling me with tender kisses, his hands move up my leg and slightly under his shirt that I was wearing to cover my naked body.

After he almost got to my goodies, I slap his hand away but that doesn't stop him from touching other places that felt good. The softness of his touch alone has me turned on.

"Do you realize that people are outside?"

The sandy beach and ocean waves sit right across from us, creating a beautiful sight for us to see. The same sight that we saw when we first met, waves crashing into the sand.

As Tripp continues kissing on my neck, he says against my skin "At this point, let them watch."

That deep, flirtatious voice comes out of nowhere but it sure does drive me crazy.

I turn around, wrap my legs around him, before he picks me up and we go for another round in the bed.

****
Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy everybody!

I'm having a pretty hard time trying to write the end because I'm so distracted.

What exactly do y'all want to happen for the end?

Do you really think that Cam is moving to Kentucky with Cass?

We'll find out more on Friday! See ya soon!
