Lost In Our Imagination 2: Not As Planned

26 - 100% completely, totally, madly in love with you

July 2018

Livi's P.O.V

"Livi I'm sorry about Ben leaving, even though the guy drove me crazy I really did know how much he meant to you, you looked at him the same way you look at Katie, like he's family" He said as we laid in bed together. I had my head resting on James chest and he was playing with my hair.

"I can't believe he's actually gone though" I whispered, "the apartments going to be so weird just you and me"

"I know, who am I going to be able to fight with now" James laughed and I smiled looking up at him.

"You have to promise me that this is it of crazy James, now Ben's gone we're going to start a fresh, forget about all the arguments between us and you and Ben. I love you and I trust you, I need to know you feel the same way for us to be able to work"

"I promise, with everything in me, that I am 100% completely, totally, madly in love with you! And there isn't a single bone in my body that doesn't trust you Livi. You're my sole mate, I can't live without you"

"Make it 101%" I laughed leaning up and kissing him.

"I would make it a million percent for you" He laughed pulling away.

"Thank you" I smiled up at him before lying back down again.

"So, what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know, maybe we should just have a lazy day" I said pulling the covers up higher, not wanting to get out of bed.

"Yeah, we could start thinking about what we're going to do with Ben's room now Katie's not staying in there anymore" He said sitting up and I frowned.

"He's only just left James, he don't have to do it now"

"Yeah I know, but the quicker we decide the easier it will be for us to sort it out"

"Why are you pushing so hard for us to get rid of his room?" I asked sitting up, then suddenly it hit me, "You're glad he's gone aren't you"

"Livi..." He started but I stopped him.

"No you're glad he's gone and you want to get the last thing of him out of our lives, his room is the only thing I have left of him and you want to push that out the way so you can have me all to yourself!"

"Livi, I know how I feel about the guy, but I also know how you feel about him and would never hurt you just to have him out of our lives. I just want it to be easy for you to sort his room out, if you have a new idea for the room then you might find it a bit easier to let go of his room. But I'm not pushing you to do it today, if you don't want to do it today we won't, there's no pressure"

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I thought that... I know you're not like that" I sighed, "I'm just still getting used to the thought of him not being here"

"I know, and you'll get through this.. Today is cheer up Livi day!" He smiled and I laughed.

"And what would we be doing on cheer up Livi day?" I asked and he smiled.

"Well, we start with your favourite breakfast of all time, pancakes"

"Hummm, that does sound really good right now" I smiled at him.

"Then a plate of pancakes here we come, you stay in bed, I'll bring them to you" He said kissing my forehead before getting out of bed.

"James" I called before he walked out.

"Yes" He said coming back to the bed.

"Thank you" I smiled before kissing him again and then he left to make pancakes.

"So, you've made me pancakes, watched my favourite movie with me, dragged me out of bed to get dress, where are you taking me?" I asked walking in to the living room.

"We are going... To Blue Water shopping centre, to get you whatever you want, I hear there is a Disney store there" He winked and I laughed.

"I do love a good Disney store" I smiled before we walked down to his car and drove to Bule water. We finally reached the shopping centre and it was pretty impressive for a shopping centre. We walked in and went in most of the shops there. I only ended up buying a few things, some being clothes and others being stuff for the house. Once we were finished there we headed back to the car.

"Thank you for taking me there, I can't believe we've never been before" I laughed as James started the car.

"I know me either, now for our last stop of the day"

"And that would be where?"

"Only you're all time favourite restaurant, Nandos"

"James, this is really nice of you but I really don't feel like sitting in a..."

"I know, you dont' want to sit in a restaurant, which is why we are going there to pick up the take out I ordered while you were paying for the kitchen stuff"

"You really are amazing" I laughed. We made it to Nandos near our apartment and picked up our food before getting back in the car and going home. Once we got home James put the Nandos on plates while I turned the TV on and got a blanket to sit under. We got through our Nandos pretty quickly and then James garbbed his guitar and started playing some stuff from their new album on it. I could watch him play for hours, when he's here with me he's so gental with it and takes so much care in each note he plays. Anything he plays sounds beautiful and when he starts singing too my heart just wants to melt. When he's on stage with a crowd it's a whole different story. He's enegetic, interacting with each person in the room. He goes all out putting everything in to his performence but it still makes me feel the same way. Absolutly in love with him.

"So, how had cheer up Livi day gone?" James asked putting the guitar down after a while.

"I think it's gone pretty well, I feel a lot better" I smiled placing my plate from the Nandos on the coffee table infront of us.

"I'm glad, I don't want you to be upset"

"I can't believe you did all of this for me today, you even put up with my favourite film! I don't know how many times you've seen that now"

"I would watch it everyday for the rest of my life if it meant I could be with you, I love you Livi"

"I love you too" I smiled kissing him, "And I think I know what I want to do with Ben's room now"

"Really, you don't have to make a choice now, you can wait as long as you want to" He said but I shook my head.

"No I'm pretty set on this idea" I smiled, "I want to turn it in to a music room, for you,so you can play you're guitar or the piano or which ever instruments, somewhere you can relax with you're own music space"

"Really?" He smiled at me.

"Yeah, watching you play just then reminded me of how much I love hearding you play and sing, away from the crowds and stages. This is our apartment, and I want you to have your own space here to be able to play just for youself, or for us" I smiled and he hugged me.

"You're it Livi, there's nothing better than you" He whispered in my ear and I laughed.

"I could say the same about you"
