Charming In Handcuffs

Extra - One of a Kind (Pt. 1)

*This one is even cheesier than the first one-shot, so don't say I didn't warn you. But this has been requested, and I did my best. I hope you guys like it!*

"Get your shoes off of my bed!" I panicked, trying to push James's feet off the edge of my bed.

He just laughed and I glared at him. He had his arm folded under his head as he grinned at me, "Fine!" He held his hands up in defense and swung his feet over the edge of my bed. He kicked of his boots and resumed his previous position, "Why are you freaking out?"

"Because Jack's coming home in a few hours." I said sheepishly.

James laughed again, "Seriously? That's what's getting you all worked up?" He waved a hand over the length of my room, "Your room is spotless. Also, I seriously doubt Jack is going to notice if a book on your shelf is out of place when he sees you."

"You're probably right, but still. I'm nervous and it helps me."

He raised a brow, "Cleaning helps your nerves?"

I nodded.

"That is sad, Juliet." He snorted, "There are plenty of ways to calm your nerves. I can show you my favorite—"

"Thanks for the offer, but no thanks."

"I'm talking about Netflix...what did you think I was talking about?"

I felt my face burn and I heard James's laugh again.

"Oh..." James trailed off, "I mean, that works too, I guess."

I sighed, biting back a laugh, "I'm sorry, ignore me."

James smirked, "I love how you assumed that was my favorite. But that comes in fourth, right behind—"

I held my hand up to stop him, "I don't need to know."

"Behind video games. Where is your mind?" James looked like he was on the verge of laughing at me again and I was going to let him.

"Clearly it's somewhere dirty."

"Clearly." He muttered and a grin tugged at his lips.

Since Lindy left for school, James became my best friend. Even though no one can replace lindy, but James comes pretty damn close. We're going to the same college, but I haven't told him about my plans to move to New York in the fall. I don't know how he's going to take it.

There has been a few times were there was tension between James and I in the past that we managed to control. I didn't feel anything brotherly towards James and I wish I still did. But I do look at him like a friend and I love Jack more than anything. I couldn't imagine not being with Jack and I couldn't imagine ever being with James in any sense of the word.

James couldn't handle a relationship anyway. His relationship with Lindy did last a year though. They did get back together in passing months, but recently broke up again and I heard that it was pretty harsh. Coming from Lindy's mouth anyway. She's the one that broke up with him the second time.

He seemed bothered by it for a week or two, but bounced back. He went back to one-night stands and nothing that really mattered. I'll let him do anything that makes him happy I guess. I did get mad at him about it, but he just laughed at me and asked me if I was his mom.

He looked at me now with a slight tilt to his head, "You're thinking."

"Something you should do more often." I mumbled.
