Chapter 13

I walked up to the door with him as he rang the doorbell. I put my hand on his arm, he was so tense and his face was blank of emotion. He looked at me and his face softened a little. I wonder why I’m still here if he broke up with his girlfriend, there was no need to pass me off as her. as women with shoulder length brown hair opened the door. She was dressed in a fitted green and black dress with black heels.

She looked to be around 40, but she looked good for her age. “hi mom” James said leaning in to give her a hug. She hugged him back and put a tight smile on her face,, “and who is this James?” her voice was high and cheery, obviously fake. “this is my girlfriend Taylor” this is taking a different approach than I thought it would but I smiled and held out a hand for her to shake. After a moment of hesitation she put her hand in mine and shook it with a tight grip.

“nice to meet you Taylor” she said eyeing me up and down.  I was aware of James also staring at me but I kept my eyes on his mother. I know I wasn’t in the most presentable clothes but I didn’t think it would be like this. I was in a pair of black jeans and a blue long sleeve. My hair fell down in waves and I didn’t have much makeup on. But I didn’t think I looked that bad. “well why don’t you come on in’ she said opening to door in wider. “uh nice to meet you – I didn’t know her name “call me veronica” she said politely. I nodded and followed her up the stairs behind James.

“so James is Taylor going to stay in your room?” she asked tightly. Wow his mom was just something else. I didn’t know what to expect but this definitely wasn’t it. “yes mom she will, we will see you and dad in the morning, If he is even here.” James responded. “of course he will be here for tomorrow, he had a simple business meeting before this, you can’t expect him to miss that” she said stopping at a white painted door. James opened it and we stepped inside. “well ok then, I will see you two in the morning” she said and with a final nod of the head, closed the door and walked off.

James let out a sigh and flopped down on the bed. “I'm sorry about that” he said. “James what is really going on here, would you please tell me” I know there is something more to this than he’s letting on and I need to know if I’m going to help him through this. “well as you can see my parents are uptight rich ass’s and they want what's best for their son and shit. I had enough of them when I moved out and went to college, there was a big scene and stuff didn’t go so well. But yea that’s pretty much the story” that was all I was getting out of him for now so I took it. I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. there’s not to much I can do for him, but comfort him is something.

“I sorry you have to deal with this kind of stuff” I didn’t want his mind on it so I didn’t say too much. “It’s ok Tay, I have you this weekend now don’t i?” he said flipping me over so he was now on top of me.  I stared into his familiar but mysterious eyes as we laid there staring at each other.  I learned that there was two sides to James and this is the side that I have come to like.

He loomed over me in all his glory and he was slowly leaning forward, he was going to kiss me. I put my hands on his back and pulled him towards me, kissing him with everything in me. the kiss was soft and tender yet demanding, I pulled away from him breathless and looked straight at him. Every time we did this we would always make up an excuse to run away from this.

“you’re so beautiful” he whispered. Well that was not at all what I was expecting.  A smile made its way onto my face. I moved up a little so I was right in front of him then whispered “we should get some sleep” catching him off guard I threw him off me and he landed on the floor with a thump.
