I'm just a sucker for pain 

I wanna chain you up
I wanna tie you down
I'm just a sucker for pain

I hear my ringtone go off, nothing better then to start your day with a song from suicide squad. I blindly reach on my bedside table, looking for my phone. I look at the screen squinting from the amount of light that shines in my eyes. On the screen flashes the name James, I read that it's 10:30 in the morning, I'm not late why the hell is James calling me.

"Lotte." I speak into the phone with a groggy just woke up voice.

"Good morning Lotte, it's James speaking. I want to go through some details for the charity event with you tonight, since you will be making an appearance with me." James sounds like he woke up hours ago, he probably worked out before getting the idea off calling me out off bed.

"And you have to call me this early for this why? I'm sure I can keep my appearance in front of cameras, and I'm sure that other important details can be discussed in the limo on the way." I state not in the mood to go over this this early.

"Lotte it's 10:30 in the morning, this isn't only about keeping your appearance, I also want to teach you a simple waltz, since it will be expected off us that we dance together as a couple." I groan when I hear this I have to left feet when it comes to dancing and also comes to sports and stuff like that.

"Lotte I'm not going to have an argument with you about this, I expect you in half an hour in my house, you can have breakfast at my place. Don't. Be. Late." The last thing he states as kind off an threat.

I groan and turn around another time in my bed, thinking about just falling asleep again. But I side against it, I don't want to know what happens when I am late at James' place.

I scream in my pillow out of frustration, after I let all of my frustration out I roll out of my bed. I fall with a loud thud on my carpet. Mm who knew that carpets are this comfortable. Remembering James' threat I get up and walk to my closet. I'm not really in the mood to dress up so I opt with some simple sweats and a sweater. I throw my hair in a messy bun on top of my head, and slip in some sneakers. I'll shower after our 'dance session' when I get ready for the event tonight. I cast a longing look at my dress, it's is a kind of brownish red purplish colour I cant explain it, with black lace covering it. It's lovely and was a fortune, James paid for it perks of dating the boss. I'm not a gold digger though.

I'm just a sucker for pain
I wanna chain you up
I wanna tie you down
I'm just a sucker for pain

I pick up my phone James' name flashes on the screen again I look at the time it's only eleven, I'm not supposed to be there until thirty minutes, with a sigh I pick up.

"What do you want James?"

"Ooohh, somebody is moody."

"Then you shouldn't have woken me early this morning" I snicker.

"Okay I'm sorry, but to make it all okay I've send you my private driver to drive you to my place. If that's okay with you."

"Thank you that's really sweet of you."

"Well hurry up he's downstairs waiting on you."

"Kay I'll be down in a few minutes just getting some stuff." I hang up and grab my bag, I let out a yawn and run down the stairs of my apartment. I throw open the door and yes there he is right in front of me the sleek black car that James' driver always drives. Oliver drives almost the same car as he does.

"Good morning Miss."

"Good morning" I greet him while I slip into the car.

A short thirty minutes later we arrive at James' house or should I say mansion.

I walk up to the door and raise my arm to push on the bell, when the door swings open and before I can even do anything James pulls me into my arms and kisses me passionately.

"lets get started on this dancing class shall we."

James walks before me while we walk through the big hallway going towards what James says is the ballroom.

I skid to a stop when something draws my attention. It's a painting but not just a painting, it's a woman smoking it's beautiful it reminds me off a Geisha. I recognize it immediately, my sister made it.

"You like it?" James asks.

"I love it, you see the signature in the right corner?"

"Yes I see it what's with it?"

"My sister made it." I say it with a huge grin breaking out on my face.

I continue walking and James soon catches up to me, we venture into the ball room it isn't extremely huge. But you can definitely host a good party in there.

A good hour and a half further.

1, 2, 3

1, 2, 3

And twirl

I twirl and after that James tips me down, he tips me back up and we look at each other lovingly. Slowly James inches closer to my face until we are kissing.

We break up the kiss, even though this morning has been lovely I still can't shake the feeling that he just isn't the one for me. And I honestly don't know why James is amazing, maybe a little bit of a player, but I can live with that.

"I think that is enough dancing for now" James says, creating distance between us, maybe James also notice that no matter what happens there still is some distance between us.

"My driver will accompany you to your home so you can get ready." James says

"Okay."

I walk towards the door. "Thank you for the dancing class, even though I still suck at it."

"I think you are a great dancer if it matters to you."

"Thank you" I say while slipping into the car. James closes the door and off I go.

A little chapter for you guys because you are amazing, I will most probably hopefully update again on Sunday. 

I just went to Suicide Squad yesterday and it was fucking amazing I don't care what everybody says about it, I loved it. i just wished the Joker was more in it, for all the promotion he got for this movie while he's only a little bit in it. But if your a DC comics or Marvel lover like me you will absolutely love it.

Thank you so much for voting on my story, commenting on it. Thank you all so much.
