She's the little

Chapter 18

"I don't get why you got straight down? I thought we were gonna refuse to get down and go back to class? And you just went back willingly?" Lizzie asked me as we sat in chemistry, this being one of the only classes we had without Derik or James.

"I didn't go back to class, and I got straight down because I knew James wasn't mad." I say leaning back on my chair.
"But I thought you didn't want to partake in the little stuff yet? That's what you said, and then you just regressed right there?"

"No I didn't? And also I said I felt liked I'd been thrown into it blindly not that I didn't want it at all."
"You totally did. I saw the stupid look on the boys faces, they knew it and I could tell." Lizzie told me finishing her work just as the bell rang.

"Come on ladies, we've got places to be." Derik says from the doorway, and I can see James behind.
"Oh yeah? What places?" I ask walking out the door.

"I don't know what their doing but we are going home." James said coming behind me.
"We always go to your house." I said rolling my eyes.
"Well now we're going to yours."

I still wasn't happy about the car seat that janes refused to take out.
"Stop pouting." James said as we drove, not even looking at me.
"I will feel how I want to feel" I said, in a half joking way.

"Once u pass the 4 week mark it's mandatory Dianna."
"Yeah I know you've said before."

"You know I was thinking about how often you sleep.." James said as we pulled up at my apartment.
"And I think maybe you could try a nap schedule."

"A what?"
"You know like scheduled nap's instead of random spontaneous ones." James said opening my door and unbuckling my seatbelt.
I groaned at James's nap time proposal, rolling my eyes as we headed into the building.
Sometimes it annoyed me that James jumped around calling things what they actually were just so I wouldn't react badly.

"Plan whatever naps u want James." I said as I unlocked the front door but as soon as I opened the door I shut it backing both me and James into the hallway.
"One second." I say slipping into the apartment to clear up the colouring I had left on the kitchen table, leaving James in the hallway for a minute.

"Dianna?" James asked from the other side of the door.
"I quickly shoved the colouring into the trash and threw the pencils into there box.
I shuffled over to the door opening it to see James leaning on the door frame giving me a knowing look.
"Go get changed, you can have a nap now." He said walking in and shooing me to my room.

I groaned, already not likening the schedule, just still shuffling into my room and changing into sleep clothes

I wandered back into the kitchen seeing James poking around, looking in random Places for god knows what.
"What are you looking for? I ask sitting at my kitchen table.
"The colourings you we're trying to hide."

I just rolled my eyes feeling a little embarrassed.
James walked round the table to me and casually picked me up, setting me on his side.

He slipped his shoes off before walking into my room, sitting on the edge of the bed and setting my on his lap.
"You can't keep hiding stuff Anna, it's not going to last." James said taking my shoes off.

"I'm not hiding stuff..." I say as James lays down taking me with him "..They just weren't good pictures."

James laughed a little as he readjusted.
I felt his lips on the top of my forehead as his arms rapped around me, stroking my hair and back.

"Are you gonna leave like last time?" I say quietly, remembering how he left while I was asleep the first time.
"No Dianna, I'm not leaving."

I woke up in an empty bed after being asleep for an hour and a half, sitting up and looking around confused.
Where's James? 
I started to get a little sad, especially because he told me, feeling my eyes well up a bit.
I wiped away the few stray tears and sniffled a bit, which somehow made the tears even worse.
Too focused on wiping my face I didn't even hear James walk into my room and was a bit shocked when his arms rapped me up.

"Anna, what's wrong?" He asked, stroking my hair.
I didn't answer only nuzzling into him a bit more, just feeling better knowing he was there so I had no reason to cry.

James sat with me in bed for a long time, even after I calmed down and eventually fell asleep again.
