betty
i seriously have had the best time ever with james.
after realizing the time we hung out a bit more and he asked if he could see me again. soon.
of course i said yes.
and of course. my heart was racing.
he said he'd give me a ride home and i told him i had to help take some stuff down. then he said he would wait up for me.
my heart couldn't take it.
i just know i'm gonna fall in love with him all over again.
i open my phone to text james.
james
i'm done! where are you parked?
i wait for his response as i stand by the doors.
then i see him walk in.
"did you forget something?" i ask
"nope. just coming to get you." he responds
he says that so nonchalantly. he's serious.
"oh my gosh you did not have to." i respond walking toward him
"yes i did." he says as he reaches his hand out.
i take his hand and he walks me toward his car.
we get to his car and he opens the door for me and i get in and he closes it behind me.
he's so different. but the same. all at once.
"you've changed." i say as he gets in the car
"in a good or bad way?" he asks
"obviously good. but at the same time you haven't. you're still you. the guy i fell in love with all those years ago." i respond
i look over and see him grinning ear to ear.
"you're still you. you have always been perfect." he responds
"okay. i'm starting to think your not real. this is all a dream." i laugh out
"aw do you dream about me often?" he jokes
i smack his arm. "don't even."
"it's understandable if you do." he responds
"there he is! a glimpse of the old james!" i laugh
"what do you mean by that?" he laughs
"cocky." i respond
"hey! i was not!" he laughs
"you so were! but only with me. it was always funny." i respond
"that's because i trusted you. you always knew if i was joking or not." he says
"yeah we knew each other pretty well huh."
"yeah. okay i have a general idea of where you live but you're gonna have to guide me." he says
"okay just turn left up here." i direct him
"so how's living alone?" he asks
"wish i knew." i laugh
"huh?" he a questions
"i live with inez and dylan." i respond
"oh my gosh you're kidding. you have to third wheel?" he laughs out
"yeah. it's pretty miserable. just kidding. i love them. they're basically family." i reason
"what's your living situation?" i ask
