After Love ❣︎ [James Dean]

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight
James POV

I wanted to ask Nora to go attend the conference with me. But I was not sure how to bring it up. Every time I did ask her to an event, she managed to turn me down at them.

Why bother pressing her with the issue? I felt though if I did not ask her to the event then she might feel left out as she had when I went to an event with Liz as friends. I did not want her to think there was anyone but her for me. And there was not.

I loved her. With all my heart. I wanted too fully be with her. TO announce it to the world that I was with her. And she was with me. If she would have me though. That was up to her. Should I ask her about this event? Invite her to come along side me? 

It was a press conference. If she went they might not know she was with me. Just be there to be there with me. And they might think she was another worker there.

And we could be together without everyone knowing we were a couple. I wanted to talk to her. She was going to be over at my place that night. 

I made us a very nice dinner. And played music over on my stereo. I was in a good mood otherwise. I hated to bring things up. And sound like a broken record. But I knew the other night she had been upset to see Liz with me at an event. That we were a couple or something.

I never wanted to upset her like that again. I cared so much for her. 

The doorbell rings. I let her come in. And hand her flowers. She pulls me in her arms and kisses me.

♥☆♥

"I have missed you all week" she admits as she runs her fingers in my hair.

"I can tell! I have missed you to" I promise her. "I made dinner!" I tell her.

"I brought your favorite pie! Coconut! We made it today" she says as she shows me the bag with the pie in it. 

"You are so sweet" I tell her.

I lead her into the dining room area where the table was set for us.

"You said you wanted to talk to me about something important on the phone" she reminds me.

I nod. "Yes" I answer her as I pour us a drink.

"Tell me...what is going on?" she asks me.

"My new movie will be out soon. And they want us to do a press conference. And answer questions. About the movie about me" I ramble on. "This is where we bring our dates and the press gets to know us. Would you want to come with me? I leave it up to you. I wanted to ask you first. And see where you were at. I would love for you to come with me" I ramble on.

"James..."

"Yes?"

"I am not there yet" she answers. I smile.
