-Skins Imagines-

29. James Cook • 5

Plot: Cook learns he had been hurting you while you liked him, and tells you his feelings.

You and Cook were friends, and got even closer when he came to you when Effy chose Freddie over him. You were kind of annoyed and hurt as Cook was your crush and he was coming to you, telling you he loved another girl.

He came to you when he saw them together, sobbing and telling how stupid Freddie was and he was even more stupid because he loved Effy, or so he thought. But that didn't happen now. He had stopped talking about her.  You were just good friends, although you wanted more. 

--

One day, you were all hanging out at Naomi's place. She was a good friend of yours. You were chatting with her, when someone tapped your shoulder. You turn around and see it is Cook. ''Can we talk?'' he says, and he looks serious. You become a little scared, as you know that Cook isn't the most serious person.

You tell Naomi that you'll be back soon and Cook takes you somewhere private. ''Yeah um listen. I just thought you should know..Emily is drunk and she.. she kind of told me that you said you liked me and it was hard listening to me talking about Effy. I don't know if it's true, but you.. you should know that anyway.'' he tells you and looks down. You remembered about that time you were a mess and came to Naomi's house and Emily was there too when you were telling Naomi you liked Cook. You were mad at her, but she was drunk. ''I um..listen I-'' you begin to say as your cheeks turn red. ''Just..tell me if it's true..I need to know that..believe me, I do.'' he says and looks into your eyes. ''Look it's true but-'' you begin to say but Cook presses his lips to yours, preventing you form saying anything else. You push him away though, as you are confused. Plus, you don't want Cook taking advantage of you, to forget Effy. ''W-what was that?'' you ask shyly. ''You said you liked me, this is how I show you I like you too. You know I'm not good with words.'' he says and looks down. ''I thought you liked Effy..I mean, I know you have stopped talking about her but still..'' you tell him and as soon as you finished talking, he looked deep into your eyes. ''I stopped 'cause I realised, I never loved Effy. I never even liked her as much as I like the girl who helped me let go of her and the boy who got her.'' he says and puts his hands on your cheeks. ''I-I never thought you would like me back..'' you say and giggle. He kisses you again, more slowly and with more passion. ''Now, did I convice you I like ya?'' he says smirking. ''Uh, I don't know..do something more and maybe you will'' you say playfully. He chuckles. ''As you wish'' he says and kisses you again and again. You felt him smile through the kiss.
