If You Go Down, I Go Down With You

Forget

I was furious. I desperately tried to get out of James's grip but I couldn't. "Let me go!" I try to shove him away from me again.

"Eliza listen to me! Stop it. Stop fighting me!" He yells back and slams me against the wall. I yelp and the wind gets knocked out of me.

"I didn't know about this. I swear. I didn't know. I don't want you going to jail, I'm losing everything too. This hurts me just as much as it hurts you, okay? Please baby."

It was his first time calling me baby when he wasn't in my pants or trying to get in my pants. He was either trying to make me think he was genuine, or he actually was.

I couldn't help it, everything that's happened was just so overwhelming I broke down again. He let go of my wrists and I started sobbing and fell to the ground.

James picks me up off the ground and wraps my legs around his waist. I instinctively wrap my arms around his neck and cry into him. He strokes my hair and holds me tightly. "Shh. You're okay. I'm here. I got you."

"I'm losing everything James." I loosen my grip on his neck so I can look at him. He wipes theaters off my cheeks. "You have me baby." Baby. He said. Again.

I unwrap my legs from his waist and was now standing on the ground looking up at him. "James..." I whisper. His lips seem to be getting closer to mine.

"Liza I'm not going to ask you to be my girlfriend or whatever, but I do care about you, and I do know the last two months, all I can think about is you and you're the only person I wanna fuck."

I can't help but shake my head and chuckle. "Are you asking me to be your girlfriend without actually asking me to be your girlfriend James?"

"No I am not." He simply says. "Okay. Then I am not your girlfriend." I say. "Yes you are." He says defensively. "Yes I am." I smile at him and I'm greeted with a smile back.

"Every time I feel like I'm drowning or I'm lost, you find a way to make me forget." I get serious and stop smiling at him. He tries to hide his smile as best he can. "Yea. Don't mention it."

He tries to close himself off again after having opened up to me slightly and I wasn't letting it happen. I grabbed his hand and pulled it down so his body would lean down towards me.

I stand on my toes and lean up, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. When I pull away he's biting his lip and smirking. "What?"

"This means you have to sleep in my bed with me every night, and I get to fuck you to sleep every night and every morning I can wake you up just like I did this morning."

"Stop thinking with your dick James." I laugh and push him away from me. I pick up my phone and dial a number. "Who are you calling?"

"Daryl. I need all that shit out of that warehouse now. And I need to figure out where the fuck it's going to go."
