Giving Up

Chapter 4 part 2

 Lillie was so excited that she and James were getting along so well. He took her on the most amazing and romantic dates, and usually he tried to incorporate some sort of physical activities into them because he knew that she was striving to lose weight, although he didn't think she needed to. He took her the batting cages, they went on walks and hikes together, and he even took her to meet with a personal trainer. He didn't like the fact that she refused to go out to eat with him, because she didn't think she could eat anything on the menu. He told her all the time that she was beautiful.

After work one day, James told Lillie that he had a surprise for her. He picked out an outfit and shoes for her to wear so she didn't have to worry about being dressed in the wrong clothes, and he put her in the car with a blindfold over her eyes. "Jamie, where are you taking me? I don't like not being able to see. I hate surprises!" Lillie pretended to be upset, but couldn't hide her smiles from him. When they got where they were going, he opened her door and led her inside of a building that was fairly cold inside. He removed her blindfold to see that he had taken her to a gym, but no one was inside.

"My friend owns this place, and I made a deal with him so that we could use it during the hours he closes up. We are going to work out together." He took her by the hand and led her over to the equipment. "Don't worry Lillie; I snuck your MP3 player into my pocket so you can have your music." He smiled at her and hooked her MP3 player up to speakers so the whole gym was filled with her favorite music. She felt a little self conscious working out with him, but let go of her fears and worked with everything she had. After an hour in the gym James put the blindfold back on her. "Now, we are onto my next surprise." He laughed and she couldn't help but laugh with him.

This time when he took the blindfold off of Lillie, he had helped her sit down before removing it. She was sitting in a restaurant, and the table was covered with different ingredients to build your own salad, and different types of fresh fruit. "Jamie, you didn't need to go through all this trouble for me." She had tears in her eyes. He was always doing things that were so sweet that she was overcome with emotions. "Baby, it was no trouble at all. My brother owns this place; it was easy for me to set up." He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

After their dinner, they went back to Lillie's apartment. James had brought over a romantic comedy, and they got ready for bed. He watched Lillie standing by her closet as she slowly removed her shirt, and slipped on one of his tee shirts that he had purposely left at her house for her. He noticed all the changes in her body. She had lost another 15 pounds in the two months that they had been dating. After slipping on his tee shirt, she unfastened her bra, slipped it out of her shirt sleeve, and slipped off her pants. She climbed into the bed next to him where he was wearing just his boxer briefs. Without trying, he too had lost weight since dating her. He was always trying to take her on dates that would help her in her journey, and it caused him to start losing weight as well. He loved their active relationship.

Lillie slid close to James as they watched the movie, and at one point realized she was watching him more than the TV. She wrapped her arm around his neck and pulled him close to her. "Thank you for such a wonderful date. You amaze me more and more each day." She pulled him in and gently kissed him. As her lips brushed against his, he let out a soft moan against her mouth. This made her kiss him more forcefully. He nibbled on her bottom lip which sent sparks through her body. She wanted him more than she had ever wanted anything.

James could tell that her body was reacting well to his kisses, so he rolled her over and laid her on her back. He was kneeling between her legs, kissing her with every ounce of passion he had. She was arching her back to bring her body closer to his, and he brought his head down to her neck. He kissed her from one side of her neck to the other, and kissed her close to her collar bone. This made her moan and giggle at the same time. He loved how ticklish she was. They had never gone farther than kissing before, and this was definitely going beyond what they have ever done. She gripped his hair with her hands and pulled his face back to hers, and he slipped one hand up her tee shirt.
