Unexpected (James Phelps x Reader)

1.27

I didn't have a song for today so I just decided to add this one I discovered yesterday. Give it a listen. It's sadly beautiful. 😌
Also, don't forget to comment along the way while reading. 🙄❤

"I don't know why I'm making it so dramatic. Must be the actor in me." We both chuckled. "I love you, y/n." The grin on my face froze as I forgot how to speak.

We both were still staring at the road. I wasn't sure I heard him correctly. It was so sudden and... I really thought he was disappointed in me and just saying it was fine so there wouldn't be more tension.

He really said he loved me. "I don't deserve you, James." I muttered. "Well, that's a pity because you already own all of me." I heard him smile.

My chin dropped and my eyes filled with tears for some reason. I wasn't able to bear such quick changes of energy. My emotions started taking over me. "James I-"

"No need to say it back, love. It's not an exchange." He pulled me closer wrapping his arm around my shoulders.  "No, I... I love you too." I said placing a small kiss on his hand placing mine over it.

"It's just... I wasn't expecting it to come now and I'm not sure it was the best timing after an argument." I expressed my worry. I couldn't help it but something inside of me was telling me he only said it so we would make up.

"Any timing would be the right timing. I was keeping it in for long enough so it wouldn't backfire but now that I had you question my intentions, I realized it couldn't wait any longer." He turned to me and gently grabbed my face in between his palms turning me to look at him.

"Please, just try to remember that it's never my plan to hurt you. All I want is for this pretty face to smile." He dragged his thumb underneath my eyes one at a time to dry my tears.

I reached for the back of his neck and hugged him tightly. "I love you so much." I whispered into his neck and climbed onto his lap. "I love you too." He stroked my hair with his big palm.

"Let's go inside. It's pretty cold here. Look at your you're almost naked." He led my thighs so I'd wrap my legs around his hips and placed his hands on my lower back to support my weight as he stood up.

"Am I not too heavy?" I asked pulling back to see his face while still holding onto the back of his neck. "You're probably like half my weight, baby. What do you think?"

"Don't flatter yourself. You're not that huge." I giggled. "Oh yeah? Back in that shower, you seemed to think otherwise."

James sat me on top of the counter with a smug smirk on his face, rubbing my bare thighs up and down going underneath the thin fabric of my sleeping tee. "I was not talking about the size of-"

A one-person applause cut me from speaking as f/n entered the kitchen. We both stared at her for a moment and then I jumped off the counter with my cheeks flushing red at what she might have just heard.

"Did you guys make up?" She asked excitedly. I nodded unsure of how to talk to her. Yesterday when we went to sleep she barely wished me goodnight.

"So it was just some stupid misunderstanding?" James and I exchanged a look and both shrugged nodding hesitantly. "Yeah, I guess." He said and I hugged him.

Then I looked at f/n as my expression dropped a little. "Come here, you dummy." She opened her arms and walked closer to me embracing me in a hug.

"Just don't scare me like that again, please." She mumbled into my hair. "I'll try." I stroked her back. "So we're all good?" F/n narrowed her eyes at James making him scratch the back of his head nervously.
