Over my dead body ~James Barnes~

Part 54

"Candace, we haven't left the hotel room since the moment James said that our house wasn't safe anymore!" He yells through the phone while I'm still cooking.

"And now you're telling us you're engaged? And you adopted Casy?!" Miles yells again.

"Don't forget the dying part." I say but Miles doesn't find this funny at all... understandable.

It's not that I want to tell them about Dylan and shooting... but they already knew that he was alive, so he would've died eventually. I would have to lie about my scar so... just the truth this time.

"I'm really sorry.... Casy and I were staying at the hospital for a couple days and I didn't think about the fact that you two were till at the motel..."

"You better make it up to us." Louis says and I can hear their car start.

"Come by tomorrow, we'll talk about it alright?" I say and they both say "deal" at the same time.

"Alright, drive safe." I chuckle and I hang up the phone.

James and Casy are upstairs, putting Casy in her pajamas already and her hair down while I'm done with cooking.

"I haven't been to school in two weeks, I missed so much!" She says after we ate dinner and we fell on the couch.

"Sweetie you're six. You're in first grade. The only thing you missed is learning how to properly read and write which you already can since you have a brain of a 10 years old." I say and she gives me a nod.

"Why Thank you." She says with a smile. My smart beautiful girl.

I lay against James' chest with his arms around me and his face in my neck. Casy crawls to the edge of the corner sofa and lays on her belly with her legs up and her chin in the palm of her hands while we lay behind her. The cutest of all the cutest little girls.

I put on the movie home alone for her and she's enjoying every second of it. She laughs and yells at the tv, telling those people what to do while James is only focused on my fingers... and neck... and legs and everything. His hands are all over the place, caressing my whole body and so are his lips. God, I love him.

I throw some chocolate next to Casy and she looks at it with a chuckle while grabbing it with a smile. And all her focus is back on the movie again.

"When are we having, as we like the call it, the wedding-dinner." He whispers so we won't interrupt Casy since she's having full conversations with the movie characters like they can hear her.

"Well... next weekend is Miles and Louis's wedding so how about two weeks? We can already start moving and by the time we have the dinner, the house is done." I say while I turn my head a bit to the right to face him.

"Sounds like a plan my lady." He whispers and he gives me a kiss on my lips.

After the second movie is done, I immediately put on the third home alone movie one and throw some more chocolate next to her head and she turns around and squeezes her eyes at us.

"Because it's weekend." I say since I'm letting her stay up late for her age to watch three movies.

"You love me." She says and James chuckles with his face against the back of my head.

After the movie is done, I shut down the tv and I get off the couch. It's 11Pm and she really needs to go to bed.

"Bedtime." I say as I pat two times on her little butt. I'm still not allowed to lift anything up even though my wound doesn't hurt anymore... it's barely a wound but whatever. I personally think it's an excuse so that he can hold Casy and bring her to bed since she already fell half asleep.
