My protector

32: Sweetest Boy Ever

Rileys POV:

I wave to Kate and quickly thank her for dropping me home. tap in the code for the gate and watch it open. Then run up to the house.

After our win at the competition miss Kate had taken us for lunch, and refused to stop praising us.

At some point during the meal James and I had questioned why we were chosen, and why we were given such a reaction from her.

*flashback*

"Miss Kate? Why did you choose us?"
I quiz curiously.

"ya, I've never seen you show so much emotion before" James chuckles slightly.

"well..." she starts.

"the other duets yesterday were amazing, the concepts and the choreo were incredible but there was something missing, you two have something that I've never seen anyone have before, atleast not at the same level" she explains, me and James look at each other. As if talking with our words.

What in the world do we have that others done?.

"and what's that?" James says quickly.
I turn back to her, showing her in equally intreged.

"you two have tons of natural chemistry" she compliments. I choke on my soda, what!?

James pats me on the back, in attempt to help. After id recovered I turned to him, he seems equally as shocked but smiles.

*end of flashback*

It took me be surprise as the moment but after some thought, I realised that she's right. I mean...

We've known each other for just over a week and look at us, I've never felt so connected to someone ever. It's like we complete each other and whenever I'm around his everything seems to go smoothly and there's never an uncomfortable moment.

I suppose natural chemistry is real. Not just something you see emphasised on TV.

I check my watch and read the time.

5:48

Meaning I have just over an hour to get ready and get to the patty to help Emily get ready for the guests to arrive at 8. I offered to help her since her friend, Stephanie, was no longer available to help.

I greet my aunt and rush upstairs to pick out a dress. I choose a short, pale blue floral dress with a laced front and a cut out circle on the back. Then I cover up with a thin, plain white jacket and search for some heels.

Once set, I flop down onto my bed and watch a few episodes of my new favourite TV show before deciding on having a quick snack. I'm probably not going to eat much later on so it my help having something small now.

I wonder into the kitchen and see my auntie scrolling through her phone. She spots me and points towards a plate on the side.

"I'm assuming your hungry?" she inquires. I look at the side and see two chocolate cookies and a small serving of ice cream. I turn back to her, feeling my stomach growl.

"how'd you know-"

"that new friend of yours, he informed me about what happened at the competition, you nearly passing out etc. He also said how you didn't eat much when you went to celebrate so I baked you a little something to make sure your blood sugars weren't to low before you left" she explains theruly. I stand for a minute, stunned.

James is just the best boyfriend I could of ever asked for.

I head towards the cookies, which are heated to the perfect temperature, not hot enough to burn me but not cold and crunchy. Their warm and soft.

I thank her politely and take the plate to the island, taking the seat next to her.

"you may want to text him you know, when he called he sounded quite concerned sweet" she sighs after a while. I look at her then glance at my phone. I use a spoon to eat a small piece of my treat and then pick it up.

I search for his contact and press message. I typed out my thanks and got a reply soon after.

Me: hey babe! just want to say thank you, my auntie told me you called her. She also said that you sounded quite concerned. xx

James: hey Rileys! Ya I did call, I had to know that you had eaten something, it was killing me thinking that you'd be going hungry. xx

Me: aw baby... You don't have to worry about me.

James: I mean... we only met because you needed my help remember😂❤️

Me: Ok good point😂
Me: well thanks, its nice to know someone cares xx

James: no need to thank me Riles, I'll always be here to make sure your safe and well babe xx

I smile at his text, God he was the sweetest boy ever....
