My Fiance

Ten

"Can I ask you something Nadine?" James says as he snuggles me into his arms. "If we weren't already engaged, if I asked you to be my girlfriend... Would you have said yes?"

I turn to look at him, his face only inches away, "I would have said yes." I reply. Though I didn't want to, I turn away because whether I liked it or not, James was still in a relationship.

He kisses my forehead and pulls me in closer. "You should go... You have places to go." I tell him remembering that I had unintentionally ruined his date with Sarah. "Don't worry about it." He says with a smile. "I think Dad Lustre wants me to stay over the night anyway."

My face blushed at the sound of him calling my father dad, and the fact that he was going to stay over the night. "You are really something else... You know that? I wish I had met you sooner." I say letting out my honest feelings little by little. "Goodnight my beautiful fiancé." James says to me as I drift from consciousness and sleep.

"Goodnight ugly." I say before succumbing to my sleep. I hear a soft giggle, and my mind goes black.

The next morning I awoke from sleep, finding James and I cuddled into the couch. I kiss James's forehead before slipping out from underneath his arm.

I leave a note saying that I had gone to my room to get ready for the day. Luckily for us, it was Saturday and our troubles don't exist until Monday.

He came into my room without even knocking, "Are we that comfortable with each other now?" I ask him as I tie my hair up into a ponytail. "Yes and no." He says puzzling me. "Yes, because I like you and I think that your room is pretty much my room too."

Walking over to me before I could reply, he removes the hair tie from my hair. "I think you look beautiful when your hair grazes your back." He added causing my face to blush. "I hate you. " I say with a smile suddenly shy and caught off guard by his sweetness.

We bid my enthusiastic father goodbye. "He really likes you... you know." I tell James as he backs out of my driveway. "I know. And I know you know my parents love you." He continues to compliment me.

"I hate you." I say again unable to control my growing feelings for him. "So what's the plan for today?" He asks me as he turns random corners on the street. "You pick..." I say realizing how much I didn't know about James.

"Alright." He says taking my hand and holding it over his lips. He gently kisses it before placing it between him and me. During the whole ride, he never once let it my hand go.

As we walk into the restaurant James had chosen, his phone rings. Sarah... I read letting his hand go instantly. I realize that I am currently the villain of THEIR love story. "Nadine..." James says looking at my hurt expression. I shrug and walk a head of him, not wanting to hear what he had to say to her.

I wrap my cardigan tighter around myself as a form of self-comfort. "Breathe." I say inhaling and exhaling carefully to keep my composure. "Nadine!" James calls catching up with me. A small smile was all I could give him. I made sure that our bodies didn't touch.

After being seated in the restaurant, James angrily asked, "What's the problem?!" I look at him confused... like he didn't actually know what was happening. Does he not understand the fact that what we have been doing isn't fair to Sarah? I've become a person who steals other people's boyfriends... What the hell is happening to me?

"You have a girlfriend James. Last time I checked it wasn't me... I don't want to be the kind of girl who takes someone else's boyfriend!" I explain to him, frustrated. He smiles at me and says, "There is nothing for you to worry about... I promise." He gets up from his seat planting a kiss on my forehead, my cheek, then and my lips. "I like you so much. I hope you know that." He says to me.

"Wow... Are you sure?" Saying the first thing that popsinto my head. "You ask me if I'm sure?" He asks me letting out a laugh. I neverrealized how cute he was when he is smiling. "You're so damn cute." I say unconsciously.I smile completely embarrassed.
