James pulls away, much to my dismay, and closely studies my flushed state. He removes his thumb from my cheek and drags it slowly across my bottom lip, causing a wave of arousals to rush though me. He meets my gaze again, drowning me in the bluest of oceans.

"That was..." I begin, stopping to look at my feet as I feel my cheeks heating up again. I'm always so flustered around him.

"Earth shattering." he says, almost as if he was reading my mind. My eyes dart up to his as a smile pulls at the corners of my mouth.

"Earth shattering." I confirm. He smiles back at me before placing another kiss on my lips, but this time it was slow. Gentle. I instantly go weak in the knees.

James and I dance for a little while longer as I revel in the feeling he gives me. Nat and Wanda come up from behind me and grab my hand, pulling me from my blissed out state. As they're dragging me away, I look back over my shoulder at James, who's now left standing with Steve and Vision. I flash him a smile before I turn my attention back to the girls.

"Okay," Nat squeals excitedly as we come to a stop. "spill. Now." I can't fight the smile that spreads across my lips.

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, myself. It all happened so fast, but when I was dancing with him," I trail off as my eyes move to the ceiling as I recall that moment. "I don't know, it just felt..." I pause again as I look between my two friends. "meant to be." I state confidently.

"Meant to be, huh?" Wanda smirks knowingly at me as she crosses her arms over her chest. I nod my head eagerly in response with a chuckle. I don't know how to explain it, but when I'm with him it almost feels like we were placed in this world for each other.

"Let's dance!" Nat breaks me from my thoughts after a few moments. Wanda and I smile and nod as we join our friend, who's already lost in the music. By the time a few songs go by, we're all danced out and decide to find the guys to join them again. The three of us look around for a minute or so before Wanda finds them and we start to make our way over to the booth they've settled in.

"Wait..." Nat shouts over the music, stopping in her tracks. "I'm gonna go get a round of shots. I'll meet you guys over there!" she turns to head in the opposite direction.

"I'll go with!" Wanda says, following closely behind. I nod as they take off to the bar and I turn to make my way to the guys.

As I get closer, I notice the three of them having a conversation. I'm glad Vision is getting along with them. It's not everyday you see a New Orleans witch associating with vampires, let alone the 'First' vampires. I'm only a few feet away from the booth and they still haven't noticed me approaching them.

Clearly I need to look into becoming a spy.

"Is this spot taken?" I smile softly from James's side. He turns his focus to me and his eyes immediately bore into mine.
