James van Riemsdyk ~ TML

I dare you, James... (781 words)

"They're not that hard to walk in, are they?"

"You've got to be kidding me. Of course, they're hard to walk in!"

"I don't know...They look pretty easy to walk in."

"James, come on, these are actually traps that make your feet sore and hurting."

I rolled my eyes at him, wanting to prove him wrong. Trust me, high heels are tough to walk in. But, my fiancé, James, thought they were pretty easy to walk in...That's when a light-bulb clicked 'on' in my mind. 

"Well, I got an experiment for you, JVR," A devilish smirk started to creep upon my face as I walked into the closet and grabbed a pair of heels that his feet could fit into. Walking back out into the room with the heels in my hands, I handed them to James and said to him, "try walking in these heels."

"I accept your challenge, Y/N." He sat down on the bed and took off his own pair of shoes before slipping on the pair of heels. Standing up, he slightly wobbled before steading himself and regained balance. "How tall is the heel length?"

"About 4 1/2 inches, I assume." I smiled and crossed my arms across my chest. Looking at him as he slowly walked across the room, I had to stifle any laughter that wanted to spew out of my lips. "So, since you're 6-feet 3-inches, wearing those heels right now puts you at a height of 6-feet 7.5-inches."

"Oh wow," he muttered under his breath, "I now understand why it hurts wearing these." 

"You feel the burning sensation yet?" I asked him, looking at his pained expression. 

"No, my feet are just jammed in there..." James tried to take the shoes off, but they weren't budging off. "And, it's really stuck on my feet."

"What? They were the biggest size I had." I scoffed as I walked over to him and tried to help him take them off. 

"Ok-ow!-You're hurting-Ow!-My feet are hurting-OW!" James winced as I tried to pry the shoes off his feet. 

"Looks like I might need some help..." I mumbled under my breath and grabbed my phone, dialing a number.

"Ok! I got a few sticks of butter and some other stuff to get the stuff out. Now, what's the situation-" Priya walked into the bedroom to find James and I continue to attempt to get the shoes off. "And, I wasn't expecting this at all. I thought we were coming over in like an hour?"

"Thanks for coming here on short notice, Priya," I weakly smiled as my arms were hurting from all the pulling. 

"No problem. Luckily, the team dinner isn't for another hour and a half and Morgan is still trying to pick which tie to wear..." Priya nodded her head before assessing the situation, "wow, those feet are really stuck in there!"

"Yeah...That's why I asked for the butter and the other lubes to get these suckers off his feet." I thanked her as she handed me the bag and grabbed the butter out first. 

"Let me guess," Priya pondered out loud, "James thought that heels were easy to walk in and you challenged him to walk around in a pair. He tried to take them off, but they were just clinging on to his feet?"

"How do you know all of this?" James looked at her quizzically as she hit the true statement. 

"Morgan did something similar to this and let's just say, he regrets wearing those heels now...Anyways! We have about 90 minutes before it starts and I can assure you, James, that we'll get this off in about 75 minutes with 15 minutes to spare!"

"Oh my god..." I panted, catching my breath as I held the heels in my hands. "Never thought we could get it off."

"And I'm thankful that we didn't have to go to the ER!" James sighed in relief, slipping on his actual shoes. 

"I think someone's knocking on the door..." Priya spoke up, causing me to go downstairs and check on who was standing outside. Turns out, it was Morgan. 

"I've been standing out here for 10 minutes! What happened?" I made way for Morgan to enter the apartment and I explained to the situation that took place. 

"Oh, I know what that feels like." Morgan nodded his head as James and Priya came down the stairs. 

"You promise you won't tell the guys?" James glared at Morgan and he shook his head. 

"Not if you tell what happened to me to Gards."

"Deal."
