My Best Friend Jimmy

"James, do you have something to tell me?"

We lye there, in my bed, completely out of breath. We were covered by just the sheet of my bed and lye on our backs smiling at the ceiling. I could feel Jimmy look over at me and even though I wasn't looking at him, I could just feel his huge smile. He quick hopped on top of me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. He hovered above me and have me the most precious little smile. He batted his eyes at me and said, "You know, you really are the most beautiful human I have ever seen."

He was now slowly leaning in closer and closer. "You know, I've heard that!" He cocked his head to the side and put a confused look on his face. "And may I ask by who?" I could tell this was his jealous side coming out.

I went silent for just a moment and just couldn't hold the giggle in any longer. I blurted out, "Yeah I can't even lie to you. No one has told me that except for my fans."

I let his head hang down from his shoulders and let out a huge relieved sigh. "Thank god. I thought I was going to have to beat someone like I beat Eddy!"

I don't think he realized how it was a bit too soon to make a crack like that. I mean, it hadn't even been 24 hours since the whole Eddy and Nancy thing happened. I wasn't mad at him. Just a little taken aback. I didn't say anything and he noticed it. 

"Oh, Jess. I'm sorry. I guess I was just kind of in the moment. I didn't mean it like that." He rolled off of me now and lay on his side with his left hand supporting his head. He was just looking at me while I thought. I sat up with my sheet around me and Jimmy did the same.

"Is this going too fast?"

"Oh Jess! This is why I asked you if this was what you wanted!" He put his hand over mine and held it tight. I quick looked at him and grabbed his face with both of my hands. "No! That's not what I'm saying at all!" I couldn't stop a worried look from making its way across his face. "I'm just saying, it hasn't even been 24 hours since everything happened and I don't know. I just think we should talk about it."

"Yeah you're right. Here, put some clothes on and I'll go make us some coffee. When you're ready, meet me out on the balcony, okay?"

"Okay, yeah. That sounds good." He got up and put his boxers on and walked toward the door. Before he left, he leaned on the door frame and looked over his shoulder. He shot me the sexiest smile and laughed to himself and continued on his way out.

I scooted out of bed and put some shorts and a sports bra on. Even when Jimmy and I weren't like this, clothing was still very limited so it wasn't unusual to be next to naked with him.

I walked out into the kitchen and I didn't see him, so I concluded he must be out on the balcony. I walked to the french doors and saw him leaning on the rail with both elbows. It was around 7:30 at night and the sun was just beginning to set. The clouds in the sky made for a beautiful blue, pink, and orange back ground. I leaned against the frame and took it all in for a second. This was a scene that seems only possible in the movies. I stood there for a bit longer and I heard him say, "Taking it all in?" He turned to me and leaned against the rail with his arms folded and a tiny smirk was on his face.

I dropped my head and smiled, "You know me too well." He turned back around and continued resting on the rail. I walked out into the warm summer air and made my way over to him. I came from behind me and wrapped my arms around him and kissed his neck. Unprompted, I said, "Time is not a limit on feelings. These feelings were here for longer than we thought. We just didn't know it." He turned himself around so that his face was basically right on top of mine. 

"I was praying to god that you were going to say that."

"I think I was just a little nervous about starting something so soon. But, I think this thing started before it actually started."
