Apartment 311 ✧NovaHD✧

.9. i promise

I woke up in James' arms. The same place I fell asleep. It's been two weeks since our first kiss. It's funny, honestly. The both of us didn't really realize we had feelings for each other. But once you're in a moment like that... damn. It's a feeling you can't describe. We haven't really put a lable on us yet. I think it's just that I don't want to pressure him and he doesn't want to pressure me. Which is absurd, since all we do is spend time with each other.

"Morning." James mumbled, stretching his arms, accidentally elbowing my face. He laughed, placing his hand where he hit me. "Oh my god, I'm sorry." He chuckled.

I laughed with him. "Watch where you swing those things, asshole." I leaned over him, grabbing the remote and turning on the television.

James sat up, his back against the headboard. He held his arms out, motioning me over. I accepted the cuddle invitation, leaning my head against his shoulder.

"And you said you weren't a cuddler." I teased.

"Now I actually have someone I want to cuddle." He waved it off as a joke, but it still warmed my heart.

I shut my eyes, listening to his heart beat and soft breathing instead of the cartoon that was playing in the background. I took his hand in mine, enjoying the company of another person.

I don't want him to leave me.

"Promise me you'll never leave me.." I don't know why I said that aloud but I did. I seemed to have fallen for this man, and god I fell hard. Think of it as walking on an extremely thick sheet of ice. You know for sure it's sturdy, right? Wrong. There's a thin patch you didn't notice and you plummet straight into the deep water. Also, you don't know how to swim. That-my friends- is love.

"Aleks? What do you mean? Where's this coming from?"

"Just.. everyone that has ever meant something in my life left me in one way or another. I dont want it to happen again."

"Aleksandr, why would I ever want to leave someone as amazing as you? I promise, I'll never leave you." He lightly kissed my forehead, butterflies immediately erupting in my stomach.

"Until I die, that is." He added. What a mood kill.

I began giggling, lightly pushing his shoulder. "You gotta let me die first, though. I don't wanna be left without you." I smiled widely, tugging at the bottom of my shirt. I heard James breath out a laugh, leaning on me.

"You're so fucking cheesy."

"Don't act like you dont love it." I teased, flicking my eyes to the screen. I felt his hand softly grip my chin, turning my face towards his.

"I never said I didn't" He mumbled, his hot breath traveling across my neck. I felt my cheeks heat up as I couldn't help but have the urge to feel his plump lips press against mine. I gulped, my pinky twitching at my side. James' hand retracted from my face as a small smile stayed on his lips.

"You hungry?" He asked. I mentally groaned, of course he would pull some shit like this. What a tease.

"Uh.. yeah."

"Alright, I'll order some Chinese food." He smirked, knowing what he was doing to me.

"Asshole."
