She's little

Chapter 13

"What are you doing?"
It was Saturday morning, and James had just called.
"Trying to pick clothes." I answer.
sitting on my closet floor with my phone in-front of me as I scanned the walls of clothes, waiting for an idea to strike.
"To go where?" James asked, clearly I had peeked his interest, he sounded like he was hoping I'd brake the rules.

"Calm down I'm only going to The store." I said rolling my eyes.

"You didn't tell me you were going there." James said teasing, knowing I'd technically almost broken a rule.
I didn't say anything back, silently rolling my eyes.

"Do you want to come over again tonight?" James asked me sounding hopeful. "I was gonna order broccoli and beef." He said, clearly trying to entice me.
Although I don't know how he found out that was my favourite.
"Fine I'll come over for dinner." I say giving up my attitude.

"I'll pick you up at 5" he said, sounding really happy.
"I'm hanging up now." I say picking up my phone, hearing James let out a breathy laugh.

Grate now I had to find an outfit for that now too.

I spent almost an hour in that wardrobe carefully curating a cute but comfortable outfit.
So no jeans cause I wanna be comfortable
No dress or Skirt, because that would be slutty... or do I wanna be slutty.
Maybe shorts, but they have to be cute to cancel out the short.
Are leggings and joggers too lazy for dinner?

Screw it I'll wear a dress and put shorts under it.

"So it's not that bad"
I was sat in the stupid car seat that night on the way to james's while he tried to hype up the seat to me, while I sat in silence.
"I'm gonna jump out the window if you keep talking about the car seat." I said, still having a major problem with it.

We were Pulling up to his house when i really had a look at it taking in that he had a whole house at 18.
"How'd you get a house?" I asked as he opened the door for me.
"Handed down from my grandad." He said as we walked into the main hall where I sat on the bench to take my shoes off, but James was already down in-front of me taking them off.

"I can do That myself."
"I know you can, but I can do it for you." He said standing up, picking me up with him.

"I thought I said one time thing."
"You sure did." James said carrying me into the kitchen and placing me on a chair by the kitchen island.

I could smell the food on the counter in front of me even with it still in the bags.
James came round and sat next to me pulling the takeout boxes from the bags and placing a box infront of me.

We talked about random things as we ate, laughing just enjoying each other's company.
It was nice. Although I live with my brother we never ate together, i barely saw him throughout the week, so it was nice to eat with someone for a change.

As James was cleaning up I sat ontop of the kitchen island, babbling on about random things, watching him clean up.
I did offer to help but he refused.

"So is Derik your only friend?" I asked curiously.
"Here? Yes. back home is where most of my friends are." He said coming and standing infront of me.
"Sounds lonely." I say symbolically.
"Yea it can be." He said looking my in the eyes.

"Well you have me.." I say with a smile.
"Do I?"he asked, getting closer, putting both his hands either side of me.
The room felt slow and my skin felt like it was tingling.
"Yea.." I said quietly, Looking all around his face.
I'd never had a problem with boys, it's not like I went round kissing every boy infront of me but I was a flirt. But this? This felt different.

More intimate.

It didn't take much for me to lean forward, pressing my lips to his, bringing my hand up to cup his jaw.

He pressed back, his hand snacking round my lower back other, coming to cup my face.

It was sweet and gentle and I felt calm. No rush to go anywhere.
