He's A Keeper

12

He finally leaned closer and grazed his tongue over my bottom lip, teasing me.

"Babe," I groaned in frustration.

"What?" He asked innocently.

I giggled and leaned in and kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck and tugging on small parts of his hair.

His hands roamed my body, making me feel sexy.

He finally stopped the kissing, pulling away from me.

"We should uh- we should go. You gotta get home right, what time is it?" He babbled and got up from the bed and grabbed keys.

"Oh, uh yeah- its 8:30." I said.

Why did he all of a sudden stop kissing me? Did he get nervous or something?

"Okay yeah lets go." He nods and walks outside of his room.

I grab his black shirt I would sleep in and follow him out.

I told Liz and Max bye, then joined James in his truck, his hands gripping the steering wheel harshly.

"Are you okay?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yeah." He says quickly.

"Somethings wrong." I frowned, taking off my seatbelt and moving closer to him.

He pulled over onto a dark road, no street lamps in sight.

He shut the truck off then looked at me.

"I almost lost control." He said after a few minutes.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"I... I stopped kissing you because I didn't want us to do something we would regret." He explained.

I nodded once, understanding what he meant.

"Why didn't you just tell me that?" I asked.

"I don't know, I just thought it'd be weird to straight up tell you." He said.

"It's okay, really. We should've stopped sooner." I agreed with him.

He nodded and clicked on the radio and the headlights.

"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.

"Making it up to you." He said, switching through radio stations until a slow song came on.

I finally understood what he was getting at.

"Uh James- I don't think this-"

He cut me off, "Shhh."

He got out of the truck and left the door open so we could hear the music.

He opened my door for me and took my hand, leading me out.

"James I've never danced a day in my life." I said, already knowing I would embarrass myself.

He placed one hand on my waist, then took my other hand with his.

I set my other hand on his shoulder, and we started moving around.

"I can't dance, but hey I'm doing it." He said, making me laugh.

I leaned up and kissed him, "You're the best, do you know that?"

He smiles, "You've told me.."

I rested my head on his shoulder.

We kept dancing underneath the stars, making everything seem perfect.

Babe♡: i brought you doughnuts and coffee

Me: y do u spoil me

Babe♡: bc ur perfect :)

I smiled, clicking my phone off as I waited for James in the cafeteria.

Piper was basically telling me to break up with him, and it was getting pretty annoying.

"All I'm saying is that you need to keep your options open!" She said.

"Piper! Do you know what that means? It's basically saying if your dating someone, and you find someone better, dump the person you're dating and date the other one!" I exclaimed, getting angry.

"What's wrong with that?" She asked, turning her head.

"Oh my god," I say, pinching the bridge of my nose.

James finally came over with the box of doughnuts and cups of coffee.

"Let's go sit somewhere else." I told him and we left Piper and went to an empty table.

"What was that all about?" He asked, handing me my coffee.

I took a sip. "She basically told me to break up with you, and keeping my options open and stuff." I said in a boring tone.

He almost looked hurt by that.

"So she doesn't like me?" He asked.

"She thinks you're one of the bad boys, although you're a literal puppy dog." I said.

"Me? Bad? I can't even kill a spider." He laughs.

"Your smile is cute, have I told you that before?"

His smile widened, making me smile.

We ate nearly all the doughnuts and finished off our coffees in time for class.

"Take the rest of these." He handed me the doughnut box.

"If you insist," I laughed.

"Have fun in class," He smirked at me, knowing I had an exam in this class.

"You're mean," I pouted, hiding the smile I wanted to give him.

"Sometimes," He laughed.

We quickly kissed and I went into class, hoping I wouldn't bomb the exam.

"Stoppp.." I giggled as James ran his hand up and down my leg while we were cuddling on my bed.

"Mmm okay, you like it." He said, laughing.

We were the only ones home, except for Joey, but he was asleep.

"I'm tired." I said.

"Me too." He agreed.

I got up, walking to my dresser.

"I'm gonna change," I said, pulling out a pair of joggers and his black shirt.

"Ooh mind if I watch?" He asked, laughing.

"Go to hell." I laughed before walking into the bathroom and changing.

I finally came out of the bathroom to see James all cuddled up under my blankets.

"You look cute with my shirt on." He commented.

I walked over and quietly locked my door, then turned the light off and closed the curtains, making it semi dark in my room.

I finally got under the blanket, and he wrapped his arm around my waist, slipping his hand in my shirt, rubbing my stomach.

I nearly fell asleep as soon as I rested my head on the pillow.

He whispered something into my ear, but I didn't hear it.

"Goodnight babygirl. I love you..."
