The bet or double trouble?

Chapter 5 - Truly Magical Mr. James

Chapter 5 - Truly Magical Mr. James

It's been few days since any of the boys approached me, instead James was texting me although I haven't seen Gabriel in school the last couple of days and Bradley didn't bother me he probably gave up or found a new victim to play with.

Today is finally Friday, it's been a long week and I still have no idea how I managed to get home after my little 'date' with Gabriel. It doesn't matter now it's not like I can ask him when he's not even in school and maybe he will leave me alone now, I wouldn't complain that's for sure.

Today after school I'm meeting James not because of the 'bet' but because he's actually nice, he was right when he said they are all different well except from Bradley who just a typical rich boy acting like he can get whatever his heart desires. Anyway he decided to take me on a friend date, which I'm very excited about he seems so caring and just so down to earth.

................

This day was just dragging on if school couldn't get any worse, don't get me wrong I love school, but recently I just can't focus.

I decided to get ready before my friend date with James, deciding to wear white jeans and my maroon sweatshirt with my red vans. Putting my hair up in a bun, I checked myself in a mirror deciding I looked alright.

Starting to walk downstairs the doorbell rung, I quickly ran downstairs opening the door to reveal a very handsome looking James.

"Hello Malady." He bowed in front of me making me giggle.

"Well good afternoon sir, I see you learned some impressive manners even a queen could fall for that."

"Only real gentlemen know how to impress a beautiful lady, shall we?" He extended his hand for me to take.

"We shall, sir." I took his hand and he led us to a beautiful black Porsche, opening the door for me I climbed into the passenger seat while James got into drivers seat and we drove off, to find some new adventure.

.........

We arrived an hour later at some rappers concert who's' name I have forgotten already, but I have never been to a concert this is like a dream come true I mean seriously FIRST TIME CONCERT! Apparently James has bought the tickets few days before asking me to hang out, without knowing if I would even agree, I guess luck was on his side although I should be the one feeling lucky that he surprised me.

Although he's a football player who are usually classified as 'jock's' he didn't seem like one, he was intelligent he had great manners and a very lovable sense of humor.

"Are you ready for this?" He whispered in my ear.

"For what?" I felt so out of it, like nothing was real and it was all a dream. Just two weeks I was a girl who no one knew or even recognized. Now I have three most popular guys at school chasing me and now I seem to be at the concert with one of them.

"The concert, silly." His hot breath made me shiver, it was a strange sensation.

"Uh yeah of course."

"It's starting, trust me you'll love it." With those words he took my hand and held it making me blush while enjoying the moment.

.................

The concert was amazing turns out the rapper was Drake which made it so much better, couldn't have found a better way to spend my Friday night. Currently we are sitting at the Italian restaurant, sounds quite fancy? It's actually a pretty small place which looks more like an Italian home and not a restaurant, which made the night the best one I've ever had.

"So how are you liking this place?" He asked while eating his pizza.

"It's absolutely amazing, I never would have thought you liked places like that.." I kinda drifted off.

"Why so?" He looked at me confused.

"Well because most football players are more into fancy things or house parties, but considering you are the captain of a football team shouldn't you be mostly partying?" I asked unsure.

He started laughing, like seriously what's so funny ?

"Well I guess I'm not really a very stereotypical football team captain, now am I? Although I'm not gonna lie, I do party sometime but I don't really enjoy it every weekend, it gets boring after a while, same faces, same music, same alcohol." He was smiling.

"I guess that makes sense, sorry for being so narrow minded, it's just that I don't really know what popular guys like you actually do, the whole knowledge I have come from movies." I bit into my slice of pizza which tasted so delicious.

"I would of thought a lot of guys were chasing after a girl like you, Sutton." It seemed as his deep blue eyes were piercing through my soul.

"What makes you think that, James."

"For starters you are smart, you are funny and beautiful. I say you've got the brain and the looks, Sutton."

"And I must say you are very charming, James." I smiled at him sweetly.

The rest of the night consisted of random talk and at times comfortable silence.

............

"I guess this is where a boy is supposed to kiss a girl goodnight? " He asked sounding a little too sweet, I guess that's the way male species are.

"Yeah, at least that's what happens in the movies." I smiled looking into his ocean blue eyes.

With those words, he leaned in, but instead of kissing my lips his lips ended up on my forehead.

"Goodnight, Sutton." With that he left while I was watching his retreating figure. The night did feel like a dream.
