Dangerous Temptations

(5) Bring It On.

Hey Guys!

New chapter! I think I get excited at those more than you actually do haha :)

I'm doing a new thing where I name a song for each chapter and which song I think suits each chapter best.

My song for this chapter is "I'm Not Yours" by Agnus and Julia Stone :) If you're reading from the computer you'll find it on the side.

I don't own Starbucks.

Happy Reading :)

Chapter Five: Bring It On.

Mia:

30th of September 2013

It was two days since I got back from the hospital and five days since James had asked me on a date. I still can't believe I'm going on a date with my all time crush, I could even picture it, him wearing one of his fedoras and that signature smile on his face and he would take me somewhere romantic and I would have the time of my life, and by the end of the night he would kiss me and the next day, I would be declared as James Adams' Girlfriend. Perfect.

But there's a tiny voice at the back of my head asking me if I really wanted all this to happen, after what happened with Lucas the first two days in the hospital, I got pretty confused, I felt weirdly comfortable and warm in his arms Monday night when I first landed in the hospital, I felt the urge to make him stay when he told me he would leave me to read my dad's letter.

When I think about the situation, and ask myself if I would do the same thing if it was James handing me that letter, and I found myself thinking that I wouldn't tell James to stay, I would've preferred to read the letter alone than having him beside me, and it made me think about Lucas, Did I really see him as a best friend only?

I found myself thinking that Lucas was a best friend and that's all it was and that was actually the truth, it's not like Lucas flirted with me or kissed me or anything, all he did was comfort me when I was bawling my eyes out, I think any guy would've done that, even a supposed heart breaker.

And what adds to that is that Lucas is my childhood best friend, we grew up together, after all these years, he was supposed to care about me. He was just a brother comforting his sister that just discovered that her father abandoned her, that's probably all it was.

But the thing is, since that comforting session with Lucas, he's been suspiciously quiet, don't get me wrong. he's been his regular smirking, random flirting, teasing self. It's just has been weird lately, especially with Sophie, one second he's telling me the weirdest pick up line and when Sophie walks in, he's like the usual "Hey Soph" and then he was out the door.

It's not like him to just head out the door once Sophie enters the room, actually him and Sophie are pretty close, sometimes when we were younger I would think that he likes talking to her more than me, but I just let it go by time, so all this is pretty weird to me.

With that I closed my closet door and looked in the mirror. Red skirt, white plain top tied off with a black belt and a greyish brown 3/4 sleeve jacket to cover up because it's September, which means in California that if you wear summer clothes, you might get a little chilly and if you wear winter clothes, you might just die of heat stroke. I paired my outfit with a silver, long necklace that had a knot at the end. Perfect.

Despite all the weird stuff going on in my head, I actually loved preparing my outfit instead of throwing anything on, I'm one of those girl who would shove all the tension she has on her mind in a good outfit, you're not gonna be depressed and looking like a bear attacked you.
