Our little Fairy Tale

Chapter 13:I've fallen for Loverboy...

Never have I ever thought that I would ever fall for James. He is arrogant, rude, annoying, etc. But here I am, in my room thinking about the last 2 hours of my life and how it probably was the best 2 hours of my life. No exaggeration, I promise. Alright let me start from the beginning....

"Welcome to Cafe PISTŌU."
"James this place is beautiful!"
"I know right. My grandparents own it. They're inside right now. But I want them to meet you. They already know about the fake-boyfriend fiasco so don't worry."
"How come they know but your actual parents don't?" He sighs and says,"I'm closer to my grandparents more than my own parents.They are never here because of their Business trips.Come on lets go inside so you can meet them!" He grabs my hand and pulls me along. I swear when he touched me I felt a spark. When we were about to walk inside I saw what looked like his grandma, wiping down the counters. She had black short hair, and she had a light blue blouse on. James says,"Hey Grandma!"'

Before we can even step inside,she runs outside and over to James to hugs him. I smile and James pulls away and says, "Grandma meet-''She cuts him off and says,"You're Riley, huh? Wow, James was right about how pretty you are!" James blushes and says, "Grandma!" She says,"What?You were not lying, I mean look at her!'' She turns to me and says, "Call me Barbra." I smile and say,'' Well I guess you already know my name." She laughs and I stick out my hand to shake hers but she ignores my hand and hugs me instead. "Barbra! The cookies are burning." I hear a old man say as he walks outside. He looks at me then at James then at me then at James. He says," Oh this is Riley, huh? Wow James, she is pretty!" James puts his face in his hands and I laugh. His grandpa hugs me and says,"I'm James." I shake his hand and I turn to Loverboy and I say,"I'm guessing your James III?" Loverboy shakes his head and says,"No I'm James II. My dads name is Josh." I nod and say,"Wow. I don't think there is anyone in my family named Riley. I'm just Riley." We all laugh and we go inside the cafe.

~Barbra and James~

We walk inside and Barbra says,"James why don't you show Riley around."
Then she winks at him. He rolls his eyes and says,"Okay grandma." While we walk into the hallway and I ask,"What was that about?" He shakes his head and says,"Nothing."
I nod my head but I know something is up. I say,'' So this is a cafe/house I'm guessing?" He nods and says,"Yeah, down the hall is our bedrooms." I look at him and say,"Our?'' He says,"Yeah I stay here a lot so they just added a room for me. There are so many babes down here."
Again, Idiot.
Ignoring him I say,"That's really cool that you do that you know? You have a awesome relationship with your grandparents. How come you don't have a relationship like that with your parents?" He pauses for a little bit. Ugh, maybe I should't have asked that. He shrugs and says,"I dunno, they are always on business trips and stuff. They don't really make an effort to see me." I say,"I guess we both have messed up families huh?" He laughs a little and we keep on walking. We go up to a door that says,"James II". I say," I'm guessing this is your room?'' He nods but when he opens it, a bucket of water spills all over him, then the bucket falls on the floor. A post-it note comes down like a leaf that fell from a tree. I grab the note and I read it out loud:"That's for not washing the dishes before you left last week.Welcome home. -Grandma&Grandpa" We both start to laugh and I say,"Well you better wash the dishes next time." He says,"Yeah, I will. They always pull a prank on me when I don't do any chores. Last time I didn't sweep and the next week when I opened my door I got dust in my face.'' I laugh and say,"Go change your shirt." He says,"Do you want to see me with my shirt off Riley? I don't blame you, I mean look at me."
"Loverboy, I swear if you make one more arrogant comment for this rest of the day I will castrate you." He puts up his hands in surrender and walks into his room. It's what I expected:abasic teenage boy room: video games, TV, posters,etc. But not all of it was just a normal bedroom.His mattress was up against the wall. I ask,"Why is your mattress up against the wall?" He laughs and said,"My grandma said something like 'The bugs will get to it if you leave it on the floor like that' or something." I laugh and say,"Well you never know, they could get to it." He rolls his eyes at me.
Wow, that was a first.
I lean against the mattress and he takes off his shirt to change it. I blush and he notices. Ugh, what is wrong with me? I don't like Loverboy like why would I ever catch feelings for him? But how can I deny the feelings I have inside of me? It's not just when he takes his shirt off, it's everything. The way he smiles when something goes his way, the way he talks, his laugh, and oh my gosh his gorgeous brown eyes. Every touch, every look, every wink, everything he does sends every butterfly in my stomach flying and fluttering. Loverboy comes closer to me and he says,"Does me not having a shirt on make you uncomfortable?"                      
"Ugh, Loverboy you asked me this before and the answer is the same: No."                                                         "Then why are you blushing?"                                                                                                                                                                                                ''I'm not blushing soo..."                                                                                                                                                             Loverly walks up to me and he puts his arms around my waist. I try not to blush, but obviously I fail to that attempt.I don't know why or how but suddenly a rush of confidence rushes through me and I wrap my arms around his neck.I take one of my arms and comb it through his hair. He smiles and says,"You like me don't you, Riley?" I say,"What do you think, James?" We both lean in slowly and we stop when we are inches away from kissing each other.

*Loverboy and Riley right now

He says,"Riley, I don't like you.'' What? I'm so confused! Ugh why should I be? I knew he would never like me. But then he says,"I love you." Oh my gosh! He freaking scared the living heaven out of me! Jeez! He leans in and so do I but then he says,''Riley." I nod and he says my name again,"Riley!Riley!Helloooo Riley!?''

I blink my eyes and then I realize that James is snapping his fingers in my face. "Helloooo! Anyone home?" Ugh! I was day dreaming? FREAKING AGAIN? (Yes, I know last time I was actually sleeping and this time I'm daydreaming but, SAME DIFFERENCE). I say,"Yeah, um what did you say?" He laughs and says,"I didn't say anything . I just saw you sitting there looking at the window." I sigh and say ,"Well I'm fine." He gives me the suuuurrrreee-look. I say,"I'm serious!" I get up and walk out of the room. Ugh, I need some fresh air. As misfortunate as I am, when I walk outside the wind hits sand hits my face. I sigh and rub my fingers through my hair. I don't even know if I like him. Why would I? And why would he? Someone taps on my shoulder and I turn around. "James." I say. He smile and says,"Are you ok?You seemed a little flustered." I nod and say,"I'm just tired ok? I'm tired of this." He looks confused and says,"Tired seeing with my shirt off? Why would you, I'm gorgeous."
I glare at him and he clears his voice.
"Tired of what?"
"I'm tired of this sneaking around! All of this fake-girlfriend crap! I feel like we shouldn't even be going to the dance together! What's the point? You already got what you wanted with Emily so why are you still here? Actually matter of fact, why am I still here?" I walk away but James pulls me back. He puts his hands on my cheeks and says,"Honestly, Since after this we are never gonna speak to each other again, I really just want to spend time with you. I just..." He looks down and keeps going,"I know the whole reason we are doing this is so I get back with Emily and that we don't talk anymore, even though I don't want to, it's what you want." I wanted to scream,"NO ! I LIKE YOU AND I WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOU!" But instead I just nod. He looks at me intensely and I look at him the same way. He looks at my lips he bites his lip. Does he want to kiss me? Cause I want to kiss him! What about Emily? Ugh this boy is just making me so confused! He starts to lean in I do too.

*Riley and James right now.

"James! Come inside for dinner!"
Barbra yells out for dinner. When she says that we both pull away and I say," Let's go inside for dinner." I start to walk away but then I hear James say my name softly,"Riley..." I turn around and ask,"Yes?" He sighs and says,"Never mind it's nothing." I nod and I keep walking and he walks with me.

Barbra made a awesome dinner. It was macaroni and cheese with ribs. Barbra and James I were joking around and he was teasing her and she was being sarcastic. I'm not gonna lie it kinda reminded me of me and Loverboy but they were more romantic. Loverboy keep glancing and staring at me at the table as I sat across from him. Overall the dinner good and Loverboy drove me home. And now here I am, watching Netflix on my laptop, eating everything in my house and I can't stop thinking about Loverboy. I don't know why but all I'm watching on Netflix is Disney movies. They were kinda inspiring. But even though Loverboy gives me butterflies and just because we almost kissed for the 2nd time this month doesn't means true love and fairy tales exist, right? Or does it?
