Saudade

Chapter 3

Soraya's pov.

So Michael's going with us. Would it be awkward? I played wish the beautiful ring on my finger as I awaited James. "and they say women take long to get ready" I said as he stepped out looking great as ever. "Oh stop it, you look beautiful Raya" He says and held out his hand. "thanks and so do you" I said and I. Blushed. "aww James you're blushing" I said and pinched his cheeks. " come on let's get a picture together" he says. "say James is sexy" he said making me burst into a full on chuckle. "sweet" he says looking at the picture. "let's carry on birthday girl" he says heading out his hand.
Gladly, I took it and we skipped like little kids to his car. Soon enough, we were at Michael's home but he wasn't alone. He had a girl with him. "is it alright if My friend tag along?" he asked. "yeah man its not a problem" James said and I smiled and nodded. He had a girlfriend all this time?
"Happy birthday darling" he says closer to me ear as he sat directly behind me. "thank you" I said. "oh right it's your birthday today, happy birthday" the girl said, uninterested at most. "thanks" I replied. She was definitely American, beautiful as well. "James where are we going?" I asked. "little impatient are we now?" he smiles. "you know I am" I said. "we're almost here Raya we're almost here" he says.

My Navy blue dress kept riding up and to say James kept teasing about it. "ah we're here" He says driving into an Italian restaurant, a very expensive one too. As we got out and Michael and his friend left, I pulled James back. "James, thank you so much, this is to much by the way but thank you" I said kissing his cheek. He held my face in his hand and rested his forehead against mine. "anything for you Raya, anything" he says. He grabs my hand and soon we were in a booth chatting about various government struggles, movies and of course how old I am. With that saying the girl was absolutely quiet, she may have broke a few laughs here and there probably agreed once or twice but that was it. She made me feel uncomfortable.

James left to go to the washroom and so did the girl leaving a very awkward Michael and myself. "Happy birthday once again Soraya, I got you something it isn't much tho" he said pulling out a small cute box from his pants pocket. "you're going to propose to me aren't you" I joked. "yes, would you marry-" he started but we both chuckled at our immaturity. "I hope you like it" He says handing me the box. As I opened it, there lie a very beautiful bracelet that had stars and a crescent of a moon and my initials on it. "this is absolutely beautiful thank you so much" i said getting up to hug him. "it's my pleasure really" he whispers into my ear, sending chills down my spine. "Hi hope we're not interrupting anything" James said with a cough. "aha of course not" Michael said. We ate a very delicious lunch, walked around a bit just to kill time. Soon enough 6:00 pm was approaching and the boys dropped both of us home to get ready in an hour or so. Thanks to my best friend who have done absolutely everything for me so far has even bought me a beautiful dress for tonight. It's red and short but not to short. It accentuates my long legs. I must say, James do have a good taste in fashion. "Raya Could you -" he says bursting into my room where I'm only in my underwear. He stares and say nothing. Words fumble to come out of my mouth. "I'm sorry" he says still looking. "So am I" I replied. James nears me and I swallow hard. "you're absolutely gorgeous both inside and out" he says caressing my face. I whispered a thank you still looking at the angel in front of me. "fuck it" he said and grabbed my face. Our lips connected and sweet sweet poems were written. His lips danced on mine and Soon enough we were both on my bed heavily making out.

"shit, we have 50 minutes till Michael's arrival " he says frantic. "fuck the time" I said and wrapped my legs around the half naked man. Time after time, clothes were shed. Time after time, bodies were in slow rhythm. Time after time we both fell in love, well I did. He rolls over and looks me in the eyes. "you're no longer a virgin " he says and chuckles as do I. "the whole virginity thing is over rated anyways" I said. "that's right well let's get ready" he says getting off my bed and exiting my room. Did this mean anything to him? I only had twenty minutes to ready so I rinsed off and started getting ready again. As I slipped on my sandals the door bell rung throughout the mansion. I hurriedly go to the door and opened it to see Michael and that girl of course. "come on in James finishing up. "Soraya, a word with you please" Michael says and I carried him to the kitchen. "you're wearing the bracelet" he says taking my hand. "it's to beautiful to take off" i said. "I notice that you're also wearing a glow" he says making me blush. I didn't have anything to say. "you both had sex didn't you" he says wiggling his eyebrows. "oh stop. We did I think I'm falling in love with him" I said and his smiled faltered a bit but soon regained its size. "nice conversation really but I think we should go" I said pulling him from the kitchen with me to the front door where James and Michael's friend were hugging and conversing, good for them.
"hope I'm not interrupting anything" i said using back James words. "touché" he says smiling. "let's go" Michael says as james held my lower back, escorting me to the vehicle. "where are we off too?" I asked no one in particular. "that's for us to know and you to find out" Michael says.
