2nd Chances

Chapter 7

The next morning Roxy woke in the large bed with Jamie next to her. She was smiling like a fool and feeling happier than she had in a long time. She still couldn't believe last night had happened. Feeling the need to get up she moved his arm slowly and carefully trying not to wake him. She had just gotten up from the bed when his arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back down. She gasped in surprise and Jamie rolled on top of her. "What is it with you and sneaking out of bed when I am asleep," he asked her with a feigned expression of offense on his face.

"I am not sneaking!"

"Right, Gollum then what exactly do you call it," he asked with a playful grin on his face.

"Gollum, you did not just compare me to that little monster," she cried with the best frown she could manage and tried to push him off of her.

"Yes I did, get over it, now answer my question!" He pinned her down with an evil glint in his eyes and she growled at him trying hard to look pissed but it didn't seem to be working.

"I was just getting up; I don't believe I need your permission for that!"

"Actually I think I like that; from now on you can't get out of my bed until I allow you," he said grinning down at her and she laughed at him not believing what an arrogant and absolutely attractive jerk he was being.

"Oh really, and what if I say no?"

"Then you will have to suffer the punishment." He looked at her serious but she laughed again looking at him defiantly.

"Please you don't scare me Mister!" She managed to get from under him and up from the bed. She stuck her tongue out at him in a childish show of victory.

"You were warned," he told her grabbing her quickly pulling her back onto bed. She shouted in protest as he pinned her wrists above her head. "I did warned you, Roxy, now suffer your punishment," he told her and with his free hand began tickling her sides. She squirmed in a fit of laughter soon with tears running down her face. How did he seem to know her every weakness!

"Okay, okay, you win," she cried after a while feeling the lack of oxygen starting to affect her and her sides start to hurt from laughing so much.

"See now was that so hard," he asked then kissed her softly and releasing her wrists, "Yes very," she pouted when the kiss ended wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him quick kiss. "Now let me up! I am starving," she told him and he shook his head.

"First you have to ask me for permission," he told her slyly and she narrowed her eyes at him

.

"Jamie, you can't be serious," she said pushing him a little harder but he didn't move. Roxy gave another growl and relented. "Fine, Jamie may I have your permission to get out of this bed before I starve to death," she said sounding bored and he seemed to think for a moment. "Jamie," she cried as she gave his arm a playful slap.

He laughed and rolled off of her and she looked for her clothes. He handed her his shirt, "I think this would look great on you," he told her with a flirty expression.

"Oh please that is so cliché," she said rolling her eyes but put it on anyways.

"Maybe but it looks good on you."

He insisted on fixing her breakfast and Roxy hesitantly agreed worried about how well a city boy like him could cook. She sat at the small wooden table eyeing him nervously and he finally set a large cheese omelet in front of her. It looked really good but she wasn't sure yet.

She poked the food with a fork. "Really your confidence in me is astounding missy," he said shaking his head and Roxy couldn't help but smile.

"Well if I end up in the hospital, I will be sending you the bill," she threatened as she finally cut off a piece of the omelet. She stuck in her mouth ready to grimace but surprised to see it was really good. "Wow this is good!"
