《Lost Without You (A Justin Timberlake FanFiction)》Chapter Nineteen

*Justin's POV*
I've never seen my daughter so happy before. She sat across from Jess telling her about her date with Alex last night. I studied her face as she talked about the date. She would smile, laugh and blush when she talked about it. She's in love. My little girl is in love.
"Dad?" Ariana Said, pulling me out of my daydream. I looked at my daughter.
"Yeah?" I asked her.
"I asked you if I could hang out with Alex after school." She said.
"Yeah sure. Just text me where you're going to when you find out." I said.
"Okay." She nodded. She then got a text on her phone and she looked at it. "Alex is here. See you guy's later." She smiled.
"Have a good day." We both told her. She then walked out of the house and I went to the window to watch. Her and Alex both smiled when they saw each other. When she got in the car they kissed, for a very long time. Ugh. They do not need to be making out in the driveway.
"Justin don't spy." Jess said to me. I looked away from the window.
"I'm not spying, just observing." I said. I then went back to the window and saw that they were gone. I went back to my seat and sat down. "She's in love." I said to Jess.
"Who?" She asked me.
"Ariana. She's in love with Alex." I said.
"Oh I've always known this." She said. I looked at my wife and frowned at her.
"You didn't tell me?" I asked her.
"Ariana didn't tell me, I just could tell by the way she talked about him and the way she smiled." She smiled.
"Our daughter is in love ." I said.
"We might just have a wedding to plan soon." She smiled at me. She knew that this would aggravate me.
"Over my dead body!" I said. She laughed, walked over to me and kissed my cheek.
"I'm just kidding." She smiled.
"Do you think she's told Alex that she loves him?" I asked her.
"I don't know." She shrugged. "If not, she will soon." She said. I sighed and looked over at a picture frame with a picture of Ariana and I the second day she was here.
"Our daughter is in love." I sighed.
"Our daughter is in love." Jess nodded.
My little girl is growing up on me.
*Ariana's POV*
I told Jess about the date. I told her everything except for the whole he wants to marry me one day thing, the 'I love you' and of course the wine. I would've told her the first two, but Dad was in the same room as us and I don't know how he would react. Hopefully he would be happy, but who knows how he would've reacted since he's very protective of me. I don't blame him though, guy's are stupid.
"Alright Princess, make a nickname for me." Alex smiled at me.
"I don't know if I can yet, we aren't a couple so no cute couple names." I shrugged.

"Okay. I see your point. I have to plan how I'm going to ask you so just be patient." He smiled at me. He then turned his attention back to the road we were driving on. "So after school do you want to go have a early dinner with Lucas and Hallie?" He asked me.
"Yes!" I smiled. I've missed them both so much!
"Okay." He chuckled at my excitement. "I'll tell Lucas that we'll be there." He said. He then pulled up to the school and drove to where the students enter. I went to open the door, but Alex stopped me. "Hang on." He said. Alex then quickly got out of the car and went to my side. He smiled at me as he opened my door for me. He held out his hand for me and I took it as I got out of the car. He then shut the door and smiled at me.
"Thank you for taking me to school." I smiled at him. He pulled me close to him and he smiled.
"Anytime Princess." He said. He then pressed his lips onto mine and I kissed him back. He pulled away and smiled at me. "See you after school." He said.
"See you after school." I smiled at him as he got back in his car. I waved to him and he drove away. I then turned towards the school and saw Will staring at me. I ignored him and walked into the school.
"So that's why you wouldn't go on a date with me." Will said as he caught up with me.
"He's the main reason, but don't worry there's many other reasons." I rolled my eyes.
"Give me one good reason besides him, why you shouldn't go on a date with me." He told me.
"Well you ruined my relationship with him the first time." I said.
"Hey it takes two to Tango." He said. I glared at him and gave him another reason.
"You broke my heart the first time we dated." I said.
"I'm a changed man now, Ariana." He said. Changed man my ass. Bullshit.
"Well you didn't know who Aaron Craft is." I sighed.
"I'll work on that. What is he? A football player?" He said. I stopped walking and looked at him. Is he serious right now? This conversation is now over.
"Will just stop." I rolled my eyes. "I'm with Alex now, so just leave me alone." I said.
"As you wish, your majesty." He bowed towards me. He then winked at me and walked away. He is really starting to annoying me. I sighed and continued my walk to my locker. I really hope this day goes by fast, I just want to see Alex again.
*Justin's POV*
"Should I give her the sex talk again?" I asked Jess. We were eating lunch together at a small restaurant.
"Why would you do that?" She frowned at me.
"Because she's obviously in love with Alex and you know what happens when two people are in love." I said.
"Oh Justin, I do." She laughed.

"My point is, the last talk was for when she was with Will. This time she's with Alex and he's eighteen, she's not. She's still a minor." I explained to her. "Alex may want to do some things and Ariana might do then for him." I said. I couldn't say the things out loud. I don't want to think of my daughter doing these things with Alex!
"You make a good point. Maybe this time Nancy and I should give it to her. When you, Jimmy and I gave it to her, Jimmy made that stupid joke and you were just plain nervous and awkward." She told me.
"I was not awkward! Maybe nervous, but not awkward!" I said. "Well who wouldn't be nervous about giving their daughter 'the talk'? It's a natural thing to be nervous about. Jess, it happens to the best of us." I said to her.
"Alright it's okay be nervous, but you were awkward." She said to me. I looked at my wife and sighed. Maybe she's a little bit right, or maybe a lot right. Did that last part even make sense? Whatever, all on my thoughts are in my head. I can make my sentences nit make sense if I want to.
"Maybe a little bit." I said quietly.
"What was that Justin?" She smirked at me.
"Maybe a little bit." I quietly said again.
"Justin I can't hear you." She smiled.
"Maybe a little bit." I said louder.
"There you go." She smiled at me. I sighed and shook my head. I then took a drink of my water that I ordered.
"I don't know about you sometimes." I said.
"Neither do I." She laughed. I Iooked at my wife and laughed. She then laughed with me. This woman can make me laugh and smile whenever she wants to.
*Ariana's POV*
School finally ended and I walked out of the school to find Alex. I found him sitting in his car in the parking lot. I opened the passenger door and got in.
"Hey Princess." He smiled at me. I smiled and pressed a kiss onto his lips.
"Hey." I smiled. He then started the car and drove away from the school. "Would you mind if we go to my house first? I want to change out of my uniform." I said.
"Sure." He nodded. He drove us to my house and I expected my Dad and Jess to be home, but they weren't. Dad did tell me to text him where we are going so I guess I should.
Hey. Alex and I are going to have a early dinner with Lucas and his wife.
I sent the message to him and looked at Alex.
"I'll be right back." I said. He smiled and nodded. I walked up to my bedroom to change out of my school uniform. I don't want him to see me change. We aren't even officially together, yet. I quickly changed into a new outfit and put my shoes on that matched it. I walled out of my room, downstairs and found Alex standing while he was on his cell phone. He looked up and saw me.
"You ready?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I nodded. We walked outside, I shut the door, locked it and we left my house in his car. "Where are we going to eat at?" I asked him.
"Some diner, Lucas said he had lunch there once and it was amazing." He answered.
"Hopefully no crazy moms will freak out about me." I laughed. He chuckled as I laughed.
"I love your laugh. It's adorable." He smiled at me. I smiled at him when he complemented my laugh.
"Thank you." I said to him. The radio played softly when I heard a familiar song. "Oh my gosh I love this song!" I smiled. He looked at me and turned up the radio. The song is 'Simple Things' by Miguel. "Do you know the words?" I asked him with smile on my face.
"Yes." He smiled and nodded.
"Sing with me." I smiled.
She said, I don't want a model
I don't want a movie star
You don't have to win the lotto
I want you to win my heart
Yeah, she said I just want someone true
She said I just want someone to, smoke with me babe
And lay with me babe
And laugh with me babe
I just want the simple things
Smoke with me babe
And laugh with me baby
And lay with me baby
Cause I just want the simple things
I just want you
Yeah, yeah
I want you
Yeah, yeah
We were singing together in the car. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I smiled at him as we both were singing. He held onto my hand as we sung the next part.
I said, No I don't need a model
I don't need a debutant
Just be a tough act to follow
You know, a free spirit, with a wild heart
Alright, I said I just want someone real, someone true
I said I just want someone else
He would glance over at me and smile every once in awhile. He was still driving so he of course had to pay attention to the road.
Smoke with me baby
And lay with me baby
Laugh with me baby girl
I just want the simple things
Smoke with me baby
Lay with me baby
Laugh with me baby
I just want the simple things
I just want you
Look at me baby, I just want you
You, I want you baby
You alright
I just want you, you
We were at a stop light, so he leaned over to me and sung the last part to me.
Smoke with me baby
Lay with me baby now
Laugh with me baby
I just want the simple things
Smoke with me baby
Lay with me baby now
Laugh with me baby
I just want the simple things
I just want you
I just want you
Give it all you
All to you darling
I want you, I want you
I just want the simple things
The song then ended with our faces inches apart.
"I love you." I smiled.
"I love you more." He smiled. He lightly kissed my lips and the light turned green so he drove off.
The way he sung to me made me feel special. Like I was his and he was mine.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
