Crazy Over You

📚 Chapter 52 📚

James

I knew I just couldn't present Callista the plan without a plan. I need two be convincing and smart about how this would go because knowing her, she would make excuses and point out what could go wrong. She reads these sorts of things so one thing she could mention is how we -- mostly her-- could end up catching feelings.

Since that's what I want, I can't be too obvious on it. Cally is smart so I need to be able to convince her somehow.

Which is why when I went over to her house, I knew exactly where I would be able to find her. She's has a mini library that her father made for her. I've help sort out the books on the shelves in the details plan she gave me. Honestly, they're just book who what if a page is slightly bended? Of course, she smacked me when I said it.

That's when I learned she'll chose a book over me any day.

But when I stepped in, I took in the painting on the walls. Purple. I always thought purple would be her favourite colour since she loves Rapunzel and just adores the colour yet she said her favourite colour was green. She owns more purple then she does green. I never really knew or how the colour became her favourite but it's her thing so why bother?

The walls are also painted with designs she created that are in gold, black and silver. She barely uses the room light but the mini lights that are decorated in veins that are around the shelves. She does love her fantasy books therefore this brings out the fantasy to life in some way.

I complimented it when I walked in and closed the door behind me.

Shelves all around the wall but when you walk in, the first thing a person would notice is the huge window and bench that's right up front. Beautiful curtains to match with what Callista was going for. She has pillows and blankets. Honestly, this room is amazing, even if I'm not a reader.

And of course the room smells amazing with the candles she buys.

It's her safe place. Her happy place where she can go wherever she does when she reads.

My hands fall into my pockets as I look over at a collection. The covers are in black with titles that made me smile. "I'm going to assume this is one of your dirty books." She rolled her eyes at me.

I made my way to the bench and sat down at the other end.

"How can I help you?" She asked me, placing her bookmark on her page to focus on me.

"Is the bookworm Callista Kwon really going to put her book down for me? What an honour." I tease while getting myself comfortable.

"What do you want?" She kicks my leg, not hard but enough to make me laugh. "As you may have not known, you interrupted a very heated argument." That's coded for smut. Dude in book was going to kiss the girl and then they were going to get it on.

I look over at the title of the book, already knowing it's an enemy to lovers type of thing which she adores. I pointed it out but she just says my name, wanting me to get to the point.

She's smart. I knew this wasn't going to be easy but I also needed to know her relationship with Elio because God forbid, if they are together or in any sort of relationship, I will burn the bro code and ruin the plan. I will make it known now of my feelings and take her for myself. I'll have her notice me and pay more attention to the things I've been doing.

"Are you and Elio together?" I asked, hating the question and being terrified of the answer.

She laughed which is a good sign. "You mean if he's my boyfriend?" Callista questions. I shrugged, pretending that I don't care. She's laughs once more before asking me, "When has James Corleone ever took an interest in my love life?"
