Ava's pov.

Continuing from last chapter.

"James?" I whispered in shock.

Once he heard his name he turned his head and looked at me, once he saw me he quickly got up.

"Ava" He whispered looking at me like I was his masterpiece.

"James wh-what are you doing here?" I asked walking closer to him.

"I read your letter Ava how do you expect me to not come here after that letter"

"James I-"

"Ava please let me talk to you" He pleaded

"Okay fine but little warning my apartments a little...well you'll see"

I unlocked my door and we walked in.

"Wow...um...nice place?" He said but it sounded more like a question.

"Yeah I know it sucks but it's all I could afford, anyway I would offer you something to drink but I'm out of drinks"

"That's fine"

I nodded and we sat down on my couch, he grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes.

"Ava I just wanted to give you a little heads up before this, I'm not proposing"

I nodded confused.

"Ava you are the most important thing that has ever happened to me, and when you broke up with me I was crushed, hell I still am. I didn't eat sleep or even shower because I was to depressed. I made myself shower before I got on the plane so I wouldn't smell when I saw you. Anyway when the gang told me about you moving to London I was crushed even more, and after I read that letter I was crushed even more than that. Another thing is that I want to tell you about my parents"

"No James you don't ha-"

"No Ava I have to tell you this since this was the main reason we broke up"

"Okay" I nodded

"My parents built this company with everything they had so this company means more to them then I mean to them. I know because they told me that straight to my face. They told me that I had to be the next CEO of this company after my father retired and I had no choice. So I did it and now I can't even quit until I retire. Which will be when I'm like 50 and I don't think I can handle it, I can always here my mother yelling at me and telling me I'm not good enough. When I was handed the company I told them I didn't want it, but they threatened to disown me and never talk to me again"

"So anyway that's that and now I just have to tell you Ava that I love you. I fucking love you so so so much, I have never and I repeat have never felt this way or even close to the way I feel about you. Ava you mean everything to me and I can't live this life without you, trust me I tried but it didn't work out so well. Ava I know you might say no but I don't care because I will keep on asking and asking and asking until you say yes. Ava will you me my girlfriend again and will you accept this promise ring as my promise to you that I will love you forever, and that I will never and I mean ever let you go again. And who knows if you say yes maybe one day I will be able to replace this ring with a engagement ring"

I stared down at the beautiful silver heart shaped ring that had both of our initials carved into it.

"James I want you to know that you do have a choice, and if you do quit you may loose your parents but they weren't really parents to you anyway. Trust me I know for a fact that you will be better off without them breathing down your neck. Think about it okay?"

He nodded and gave me a small sad smile.

"Oh and yes"

"Yes what?" He asked confused.

"Yes to the girlfriend and the promise ring thing, idiot" I said mumbling the last part.

His eyes lit up with the familiar spark that I have't seen in a while.

"Really?" He asked looking happier than I have ever seen him.

"Really" I confirmed.

"I love you"

"And I love you"

He stood up and pulled me up with him, he grabbed my hand and put the promise ring on. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. I pulled away and grabbed his face and smashing his lips to mine. I felt him smile which made me smile bigger than I have ever before.

"So do you wanna do it on your couch?" He mumbled against my lips.

"Mhmm" I confirmed

.........................

I woke up on my crappy couch but this time with an arm wrapped around me and I was facing a handsome sleeping beauty. I smiled and started tracing my finger around his face, I know it sounds weird but I don't care. 

"Mhmm" He moaned in his sleep.

"Honey get up I wanna talk"

"Mhmm"

"James come on get up or else I'm gonna take a shower by myself"

His eyes shot open and he quickly got off the couch, and before I could protest he picked me up and carried me to the bathroom.

What am I gonna do with this boy?

......................

"Honey!" I yelled 

"Yeah?!" 

"Come here!"

"I'm in the bathroom!"

"I don't care!"

I heard the toilet flush and then James walked out.

"What did you need Cutie?" He asked wrapping his arms behind me.

"I just wanna make sure you don't tell the gang that I'm moving back, and I wanted you to help me make sure I wouldn't forget anything"

"The gang doesn't know nor will they know until we get back, and yeah sure"

"Thanks" I said pecking his lips.

Yup that's right I'm moving back to New York, but I'm gonna be living in with James in his mansion. Which will be fun, and we are planing on surprising the gang that I'm back.

"I believed your all packed Cutie" James said after we checked everything.

"Okay"

"Are you excited to move in with me?"

"Yeah but I'm probably gonna get lost in the mansion"

"Don't worry you'll be fine" He said kissing my head.

"Alright I think we're ready to go" I said grabbing two suitcases while James grabbed two also.

"Yup"

We smiled at each other and left the apartment. We went on the elevator and once we got to the lobby kind of area I dropped off my key.

I didn't sign the lease yet so I'm fine.

We hailed a taxi and headed to the airport to go back home. Once we got to the airport we ran through the airport since we were late for our plane. Because somebody thought that it would be okay to have a quicky before we left. Hint that somebody goes by the name of James. We reached our gate right on time, we quickly handed the man behind the counter our tickets and we hopped onto the plane.

New York here we come!
