James Cassels

I get out of my car, coffee in hand, and make my way to the music store where I work. I'm instantly greeted by my co worker, Jesse, who is organizing CDs.

" Happy birthday, bitch" She shouts, leaving a mess of plastic cases on the floor to smother me in a bear hug. " Thanks" I mumble out, just not feeling so cheery about having to spend my birthday a thousand miles away from my boyfriend, James.

Two hours have passed and I'm busy tuning a guitar, when I hear the bell chime, signaling the shops door opening. Jess is working the counter, so I pay no mind to whoever entered. That is until Jesse gets my attention.

" Y/n, you have a delivery." I place the guitar in the stand, confused to what was delivered to my work. When I reach the front counter, I see a white box, with my name scribbled on the top.
" You gonna open it or what?" I laugh at her urgency and open the box, which causes a delicious smell to fill my nose. " Ooo, donuts" Jess shouts and I gesture for her to take one as I notice a message written in the inside lid.

I'm sorry I'm not with you on your birthday. Donut be sad!! - James

I smile,dreading over my boyfriend's name, even being so far away and busy playing shows, he's still thinking of me.
I pick up a chocolate glazed one and eat it as I head back to my previous chore. As usual, business picks up around noon, and Jess and I are bombarded with customers with questions. By the time it dies down and i finally catch my breath, two hours have passed.
I texted James, thanking him for the breakfast and asking about his day so far. I don't get a response, he's probably busy, or Ben hid his phone down his pants, AGAIN. I move to the back of the store to open another box of music books. As I begin placing them on the rack, I hear the familiar chime and ,once again, Jesse shouts for my attention.

" Another delivery!!" I place the box down, and when I turn to face the front, I see the most amazing sight.

" James!!" I shout before running and jumping into my drummer's arms.
" Happy birthday, doll" he sets me down, but I stay in his embrace. we haven't seen each other since I visited him on tour last month, and I don't want to let him go.

" How are you here right now?" I question, not that It matters, but I'm curious. " It doesn't matter how. I'm here and I have something special planned." He finished his statement with a peck on my lips.
"Awwwwwe" I pull away from my love to glare at Jesse, before I turn back to James.
" Well, you're early, I get off at four" he smirks at my statement, then leans down to whisper in my ear.
" You get off when I tell you to" my cheeks turn beet red at his words and I lean into him to hide my face in his shirt. Until Jess speaks up, bringing me out of hiding.
" Don't worry about it, I got the store"

" So, where are you taking me?" I ask from the passenger seat.
" Well, I was thinking about taking you to where we first met..." I laugh at his statement remembering like it was yesterday, not six years ago.
" But, I decided that you probably don't want to relive me wiping out and knocking you off your skate board"
He joins me in laughter this time but doesn't say anything else until he pulls into a parking lot.

" So I chose our first date" as he said that, I recognized where we are.

He turns off the engine, insisting for me to stay in my seat. He quickly gets out, and slides across the hood of my car, causing me to burst out in laughter all over again. He gets back to his feet and finally opens my door, taking my hand before helping me out. " My lady"

" Thank you" I respond as we make our way across the parking lot, to the dark building. I smile, glancing up to the neon sign.. ARCADE!!!

He opens the door and I enter, ready for a fun afternoon of playing games, eating junk food and beating my boyfriend at air hockey.
