Baggage

Part Five

Shay's Point Of View: 

"No way you produce music?" James nodded his head as he took a sip of his drink "It's nothing that amazing I mean, we're still kinda small" "Right so; I never even heard of Rare Americans before" James held his hand on his chest gesturing how to hurt he was "Ow that one hurt" "Alright I get it" Shay laughed at his sense of humor, he was a funny guy who knew how to take and make jokes.

"So hotshot what do you do?" "I'm a pilot I drive a helicopter to save people's lives" Jame's jaw dropped as she spoke with much confidence; Shay held a smirk on her face as she waited for a comment from James "You win, your job is so much cooler than mine" they both laughed at the jokes they made.

It was late, golden hour late when, the sunset started. James and Shay were eating the most recommend meal on the menu which consisted of fish and salad while being accompanied by their choice of beverage. they enjoyed the comfortable silence they could sit in that didn't feel uncomfortable nor was it needed it was just something they both enjoyed.

"Hey is that a camera?" James said as he pointed to the man who was holding a camera recording his holiday as well as the view around them "Mind if I film my friend and me?" James was so enthusiastic he literally jumped out of his seat and grabbed the camera practically already recording Shay before he even asked. Luckily the man was old and didn't mind, he made a mental note to ask the man for the film later before they leave.

"Don't you dare!" Shay said as she covered her face "Don't you dare, take your hands away you're beautiful" A light pink hue had brushed across Jame's cheeks as well ash Shay's. Shay removed her hands looking into the camera smiling sweetly into it before James showed himself one more time giving the camera back to the nice old man.

"Well aren't you friendly," Shay said in a more sarcastic tone James didn't respond he just shrugged his shoulders; "Is that your natural color?" James said pointing towards her hair "Yes it is" Shay said touching her hair feeling her soft locks cascade down her shoulders "You should take your hat off, the sun has long time gone down" "No it hasn't it's just setting" Shay smiled, James didn't say anything waiting in anticipation for her to remove her sun hat. Shay rolled her eyes before removing her hat and setting it aside on the table.

"May I ask a personal question?" Shay nodded her head "What do you think of love?"; Shay thought about her answer "It doesn't have to be long" Shay waved her hand brushing what he said off "Love is like a business; it drives people insane" James smiled at her answer "That wasn't so bad" Shay smiled taking an unbothered sip of her beverage "How about you?" James too took time to answer his question "Blind emotion leads to commotion but, part of me likes that game" Shay took a few moments to understand what he meant but after a moment the realization sunk in "I see"

 the conversations went to parents, siblings, likes and dislike even their future plans and goals for one day Shay's eyes met James, her purple orbs made him feel at peace like he could fall asleep staring at them, he's thoughts were cut off by the sudden sound of his phone's ringtone.

Without hesitation he declined the call; shay wondered why he rejected whoever called him so nonchalantly as if they didn't matter but she didn't want to pry too much on him considering their in-depth conversations. James sighed before smiling again extending he's hand to shay "Come with me" Shay smiled at him accepting his gesture having him lead the way to wherever it was that he wanted to go.

The journey wasn't long at all, they walked to the beachside; he guided her towards the ocean. They stepped into the water feeling cold water brush and intertwine on their feet, the feeling of his hand on her back and him being practically inches away from her gave her warmth so much that the water didn't make her flinch, not once.

James watched as she smiled laughing at the sensation and coldness enjoyed every moment; this was exactly what she needed, exactly what she craved, why she came on this trip in the first place. Shay made eye contact with James; they locked eyes for a moment before their bodies spoke for them. Their bodies moved in sync holding each other and soon their lips made contact; they felt themselves melt in their embrace. No words. None needed to be said. They stayed like that for a while before Shay took his hand and lead the way to another location.

Her bedroom.

The way there was quiet, no words were uttered; her room was a single bedroom she shared with no one; no one but him. Now. James's eyes were everywhere but on hers. He was nervous she thought, she smiled sweetly at him seeing him change from bubbly to shy.

Not long after he's eyes met hers, he could tell she knew what she wanted and he did too; they let their emotions speak and utter words their mouths couldn't James pulled her close kissing her soft lips knowing exactly where this would go and so did she.

Should we start loving; give this a try?
