Who knew?

Chapter Six

Lena woke to the early morning sun shining through the drawn back curtains. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, grasping her surroundings. Suddenly, all the thoughts of the night before came rushing back. I kissed James.

I KISSED JAMES!

James was my first kiss.

Oh my god.

Lena smiled to herself and rolled to the other side of the bed.

She noticed that on the dresser was a tray of food, which was still warm, so it had been recently delivered. There was also a little note.

Lena leaned over stretching an arm out and grabbed the note.

Dear Lena,

So I'm sorry if I came off too strong last night, I just had to make up for all those years of trouble. - Love James.

Lena's smile grew to a grin and didn't leave her face as she pulled the trying into her lap.

She happily enjoyed her breakfast in bed.

Not long after she was finished she decided to take a shower.

She swiftly made her way to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She scrolled through her phone while it warmed and eventually jumped in.

She took her time, but finally, got out after about 30 minutes. She grabs a towel wrapping herself then her hair with another.

She walked back into her room in her towel hugging tight to her body and a separate one for her hair, to find an outfit had been laid out on the bed and the breakfast tray was gone.

Lena looked over the outfit laid out.

It was a pair of black high-waisted distressed shorts and a crop top which was plain gray. It was paired with her back beat up converse. She wasn't sure to be mortified that James had come in while she was showering, or find it romantic. 'At least he didn't chose my underwear' she thought to herself.

She decide it was cute enough though and put it on. She did her make up and hair which she decided to curl today. She put on some jewelry and looked herself over. Once she felt satisfied with how she looked she walked down the hall and headed for the kitchen.

She heard voices before she entered. They were low.

"Why there? She may not like being out in the heat all day... James I don't want you screwing this up.." Ms. Caroline was saying in a hushed voice. "I think she'll love it! I got the whole day planned!" James said in an equally hushed voice. "Are you serious about this James? You actually like her?" Ms. Caroline asked. There was no response, but Ms. Caroline went on to say, "Then go, and have fun. And treat her like a princess, be the gentleman."

Lena decided to enter at this moment. "Good morning!" She said putting a smile on her face, hugging Ms. Caroline, before turning to James, who had an adorable smile on his face.

For a few moments, they stood there looking at each other.

James was well dressed, he was wearing a tight white T-shirt that showed off his muscular arms and khaki shorts. He had his Rolex watch on and faded black Vans on. Actually, he looked exactly like yesterday, Lena thought.

Lena tried not to stare. She tore he eyes away first.

Finally, James spoke up, "So you sleep well? Cause we have a busy day ahead..." He seemed almost nervous about it.

"Yeah, I slept wonderful, thanks. What exactly do you have planned?" Lena decided to ask. She reached for a banana and started to eat it.

At this point, James's smile returned and he said, "It's a surprise." He took her hand and said goodbye to his mom, leading Lena to the garage, where an Infiniti and a Mustang set.

"Whoa, nice Cars." Lena gasped. "Thanks, but I prefer this one..." James walked through the door that connected the outside. Lena followed to find an old F100 Ford truck, sitting in the driveway. Lena looked at James as he patted the car, saying "Bought her by myself, and she purrs like a kitten. I love this car." He said.

"She beautiful," Lena smiled giggling at his pride. She walked toward the other side to get in, only to find James there waiting with the door open. He helped her get in, shut the door behind her, and jumping in the driver's seat. He started the car and pulled out of the driveway, starting down the street, with light 80's Rock playing on the radio.

Lena stared out the window enjoying the ride. They were driving further from the city.

James glanced over at Lena.

She looks so gorgeous today... He thought.

He reached over grabbing Lena's hand causing her to look over at him. Since it was a bench seat, Lena slid all the way over to James. She then laid her head on his shoulder.

She soon drifted off until she was gently nudged awake.

"We're here beautiful..."
