"I'm not sure. I think I might be hearing things, honestly." I say with my hands over my chest.

I was currently sitting on the patio in James penthouse, with char and Elisha.

"I don't think three words, 'I love you.' Would be flying out of just anyone's mouth." char makes an obvious point.

Maybe I wasn't hearing things?

Maybe, James actually said he loves me.

I shrug. "Maybe I should ask him?" I turn to Elisha and char, char nods and Elisha shakes her head and holds her hands up.

"You do know the person your asking that too right? What if you were actually hearing things." she says, and I drawl a sigh.

I'm not sure what I should do know.

"Just ask him. I'm sure, he would tell you if he did or not. Don't be paranoid, Elisha." char, let's our a low laugh, but it fades.

Elisha shrugs and gives in.

As do I.

I'm going to ask him.

Later, that very day. I never ended up asking him, because I was too afraid of his reaction.

He's been doing really well.

He's not as much as an asshole as he once was. He has his moments, but still he's been doing amazing, not only that but communicating.

"This is disgusting, who eats this shit." I laugh at the man who's face expression was a mixture of confusion and disgust.

We were sitting on the roof top. I had forced him to come out and take in some sun, he's been cooped up inside his office or boxing room.

"They're good, you'll like them mode you get used to them. I promise," I had forced him too try my favorite thing in the world; olives.

I love olives.

"Bullshit, questi sono rivoltanti." I turned to him and giggled. "I have no idea, of what you just said, but telling by your facial expressions the olives are disgusting too you, huh?" I roll my eyes into the socket.

He tilts his and I watch as his his tongue run over his lips as his eyes never leaves mines.

He leans in a places a kiss onto my lips. I smile and take another olive too my mouth.

I was thinking since we were in the moment, maybe it was the right time to ask him.

And I did.

"Did you tell me you love me, the night after the party for your mother?" I ask him, staring at the wording on the jar of olives.

It was quiet for a moment until I turned my gaze to the man. "Is that what you heard?" he ask, with his head titled.

I nod slowly. "Then yes, I did say that."
