James POV:
I sit up on the bed and look around. I dont know what to think about Riley. I told her I loved her and she didnt say anything back.
The door opens and Riley walks in. She sits next to me. We stay in silence.
'Im sorry if I made you feel akward yesterday' I tell her.
'What?'
'When I told you I loved you'
'Oh. Am...its okay. It wasnt akward'
I nod.
'How are you feeling?'
'Good. Better than usuall. I think Im better again'
She smiles.
'Thats good'
We go back to been silent again.
'Your feeling akward around me arent you?' I ask.
'No Im fine'
'I can feel it Ri. Look if you dont feel the same way Im cool with that. Im not forcing you to or rushing you into anything. I dont want you to feel uncomfortable'
She nods.
'Thanks. It means alot'
I smile and kiss her.
'Im hungry' I tell her.
'Your always hungry!'
I laugh and we go doenstairs.
'James! You should be in bed resting!' my mom says.
'Mom Im fine. I feel much better. And I have my own personal nurce right here to give me my medicine' I smile putting my arm around Riley.
She blushes.
My mom laughs.
'Very well. Come and have something to eat' she smiles.
'I should get going' Riley says.
'But you just got here'
'I know. But I promised Em Id help her tidy up the appartment'
I nod.
'Okay. Ill see you later'
She nods and kisses me.
She leaves.
I smile as she goes.
Kevin walks in.
'Hey bro. How are you feeling?'
'Better'
He nods and sits down.
'Im sure I heard Riley a minute ago'
'Yeah. She just left to help her sister tidy the appartment'
'Are you sure it was that? Are you sure she just didnt want to get away from your ugly face?'
'Ha ha. Very funny'
He smiles and we eat up something.
When Im done I go upstairs to my room. I decide to call Riley.
After a few seconds she answers.
'Hey Ri'
'Hey James'
'Hows the tidying going?'
'Terrible. Emily is so fussy'
I hear someone shout in the background.
'Riley! Get your ass in here! This room is a mess!'
'Sorry. I gotta go. Ill talk to you later'
I laugh.
'Okay. Bye. Have fun'
'I wont! Bye!'
I cut the call.
I lye back on the bed.
Im so glad Im not in Rileys situation stuck with her sister cleaning up. Poor her!
I guess I have something to be happy about. And thats not having a sister who is fussy like Emily!
