Cuffs and Cabinates

(Chapter 4)

He blushes and looks down.
"So a-are." He points a finger at me and them himself making zero eye contact.
"What?" I know what it means, maybe.
"So are we going to date?" He looks at me with doing 'the charming eye thing' where in you slowly lift your face up and then followed by the eyes.
I looked around.
"I don't know, ask me!" I chuckle and I look at James standing opposite to us near the dance floor.
He smirks and nods as if he knew what i just said. Was I loud? I think.
"Crosair. Would you do the honour of dating me?" He holds my hand and I feel the rush of blood around my checks. I take a deep breath.
"Sure." I dim my smile and walk away. Teasing!
"Crosair! Crosair. What was that supposed to mean." He comes chasing me.
"What does sure mean?" I act innocent.
"Yes? Maybe." He gets super confused.
"Sure. Boss." I say patting his chest as he places his hand over mine. I pull my hand back. "Arent you my boss?"
"I won't be if you date me. I love you."
"I will date you." I move towards James.
"You will?" He smile.
"I will change the meaning of the sentence if I have to repeat." I say seriously.
I walk ahead and turn around watching him blush and smile rubbing his head.

"What? Tell me everything. I need details." He smirks with his strong voice.
I ran him through the details.
"OH god, Coro." He straightens his back revealing his bulging bicepts. "I'm happy though." He smiles.
"I'm not I saw a girl walk to you earlier." I raise my brows.
"Yes the red dress. She wanted to hook up." He nodded.
"You better not cheat on Michael." I puch him lightly.
He just smiles lightly. All of a sudden I start feeling dizzy and faint on James. I heard blurr voices of him asking me to get up and look at him.

"Ali! How are you?" James smiles. "It's ok." He says as he gets me to sit up.
I look around to notice a luxurious room with white marble floor and a black painted wall ahead of me. The blanket was fluffy and there was a chandelier hanging above us. As I sat up.
"Yes we are in Jaden's property, his guest room." James gives a glass of water.
"This place looks like a palace so luxurious." I say.
"Yes. It is." He smiles as i sip on the water with sugar in it and I ask him why.
"Do you have any idea why you fainted?" He rubs his palms as it was cold in the room.
I think hard and then I remember I hadn't had anything today.
"OH!" I look at him. "I have not had anything today."
"Yes i see. You really being a baby." He pats me. "Well done. I suggest eating nothing for a week next time." He teases.
"OH James." I smile as Jaden enters the room.
"I hope you feel better." He stands near the door.
"I DO." I say loudly.
"You should rest here tonight." He suggests waving his hand around the room.
I look at James and then Jaden and back to James as we stare at each other.
"Well you don't have to take the stress, I'll get her home." Andrew walks in from the door wiping his hand with a tissue.
"It's no stress. I have people who can help her." He leans on the wall.
"Guys!" James breaks the stare. "I'll take her home. She is fine just needs some food."
"Well we can go to a resturant." Andrew smiles.
"I can get some. We have alot of food." Jaden's expression does not change he was still serious.
I giggle and James nods. "I'll make some pasta for you once we get home. It's your choice."
The table turns and the giggle turns into a question mark.
"I choose to go home on my own and cook some cup noodles. I have work tomorrow." I say as i push the blanket away and try to get up. I just cant. My legs were hurting and I was weak.

"Ohk! One of you can help me get home." I say as James helps me get up.
"I can." James and Andrew say together while Jaden stares at me.
He walks to me without saying anything and picks my heels that was next to the side table and hands it to Andrew while he picks me up.
"Now you." He points at James. "Can pick her clutch."
He had used actions instead of words.
He takes me down the stairs and out of the house.
"Marcus. The car." He says as a notice like a bunch of cars around 5-6 I didn't count.
He pulls out a black Audi and opens the door.
Marcus also opens the door as Jaden places me in. I look at Jaden Who was putting on my seat belt while I also looked at Andrew who was almost going to kill Jaden.
"Get in the car." Jaden says while he unbuttoned the wrist of his shirt and pulls his sleeves up.
James sits behind me while Andrew sits on the other side.
He drops me near my building while Andrew's car was already waiting at my our building.
"Thank you." I say as i open the door and James helps me get down.
Andrew helps me get to my house and I invite him in.
"Come in, if you can do everything yourself." I smile.
"I sure can." He gets in followed by James.
"I'll get you your noodles." James enters the kitchen.
"How does he know- ?" Andrew points at him looking at me.
"We keep visiting. He is like my mother." I say.
"She is Like mine." James shouts from the kitchen.
"So you guys used to date?" He says as i giggle.
"EW." James screams.
"I'm not that bad." I say.
"I don't prefer you." He says. "I mean if only you were type."
"If only you were mine," I say and realise how inappropriate it sounds. "My type I meant."
I sit at the sofa limping towards it.
"Why are you giggling?" I ask Andrew.
"No reason." He smiles.
"No reason?" I nod.
"Coro, do you want me take out your clothes from the closet?" James places the cup noodles besides me between me and Andrew while he hands Andrew a can of cold drink.
"Is like that." I smile.
"Pjs or shorts?" He walks to my room.
"Shorts." I say.

"I have to say I'm kinda insecure." Andrew looked confused.
"Oh Andrew. It's not like that." I try to make him calm down.
"Andrew, I'm not intrested in her, or in girls." James walks out. "I've placed the clothes on the bed tell me if you need help in changing."
"I won't. It's just some pain." I look at Andrew who wasn't shocked but not surprised too.
"Are you alright?" I rub his shoulder.
"Yes. I dont have anything to be insure about I guess." He smiles actually we all smiled.
"Are you staying tonight?" James asks Andrew.
"If you want me too." He keeps his drink aside.
"I need you too. I will be leaving early tomorrow I have work back in town and won't come back until night so I guess you will stay." James helps me get up.
"I'll be happy to." Andrew says.
"Yes you can take your shoes and coat off. Make yourself home." I smile.

After I change and finish eating my noodles. We all have a little introduction.
"Where will we be sleeping?" James puts away the pillows.
"On my regular place." I say.
"I'll be on the right side of the bed, on the ground. You can sleep on the left or on the couch." James looks at Andrew.
"Left I choose." He helps James set there beds and we all lay on our beds without talking.
After a while I look at James who was asleep so i look at Andrew who wasn't sleeping but checking his phone.
"Are you sleepy?" I ask him.
"Not really." He smiles. "And you?"
"I can't sleep it's uncomfortable." I say.
"If you don't mind." He gets up and gestures me to move back a little.
While I get a small tingling sensation.
"Oh I don't." He sleeps next to me.
This was the first time a man was sleeping besides me my heart was beating really fast. He opens his arm.
"Come here." He says as i move closer and place my head on his arm.
I could feel his heart beat too. It was fast too. He held my waist and I felt a little rush in my body.
