Gentle One

Chapter 3

I sprayed some Healthy & Sexy leave in conditioner into my hair and brushed it in. I stepped out of the bathroom and looked at my black Michael Kors flats that had gold toes and took a deep breath. James was out of bed waiting for me in my desk chair. He smiled when I walked in. "You look beauiful, as always," I looked down at the floor and bit my bottom lip to hide my huge grin. "Thanks," I whispered, tucking a hair behind my ear. "What's wrong?" James asked, cocking his head. I shook mine. "Nothing," I said grinning from ear to ear. I walked over to him and sat on his lap. Our noses touched as our faces moved closer and closer together. Finally, our lips touched. I tasted rasberries on his lips, a flavor that never got too old with me. We both pulled back and smiled at each other. I got up and turned around to look out the window. I heard James get up, and before I knew it I was pressed up against the wall and our warm lips were touching for what felt like hours - or even days. I closed my eyes, taking in this moment knowing that if I didn't come out last night, something horrible could've happened. I managed to slip away while shaking the thoughts out of my head.

I gently tossed James his pair of shorts along with his grey t-shirt. This was getting ***very*** awkward for me, until James broke the silence. "Sweetie, there's something wrong. I can see it in your eyes," I looked at him and repeated myself. "There's nothing wrong," he walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek while whispering into my ear softly, "I know you." I smiled and kissed him - again. I felt that spark I always did. "I love you." I whispered to him. "I love you, too." the thought of having him in my life was a dream come true. We locked hands and went towards the stairs.

James stopped. I looked at him. "What's," he picked me up like a baby and I yelled playfully as we giggled the whole way down the stairs until our faces were bright red and we couldn't breathe. "I'll put some waffles in the oven," he was already getting water. He placed it them on the table just as the toaster dinged. I got two plates out and placed two waffles on each. We ate in silence for a while, but broke into laughter afterwards. James was officially the best boyfriend ever - not like he wasn't before.
