Secrets. (A James Franco FanFiction)

Chapter 8

I smiled to myself in the mirror, as I finished my last curl. I was tingling with excitement to see James. He made me feel invincible.

I finished up my hair, and was starting on my makeup, when the doorbell rang.

I went over to open the door.

"Food delivery." The guy said, smiling.

I smiled back, handing him the money.

"Thank you so much." I replied, closing the door as he left. I placed the food on the kitchen counter and walked back into my bedroom to finish up.

About 15 minutes later, I was all ready to leave. I walked out to the kitchen, grabbed the food, and my purse, walking out of my apartment and to my car.

~~~

"What movie do you wanna watch?" James asked, as I fixed drinks in his small apartment kitchen.

I smiled. "It doesn't really matter to me; it can be a mixture."

I grabbed the drinks, and walked into the living room.

I sat down on the couch, placing the drinks on the table, next to the food.

I scanned the movies he had picked out, and let out a chuckle. "Really? The Notebook, Insidious, and Spring Breakers? What the hell?"

He smirked. "What's the problem?"

I chuckled again. "Well, number one, this is a bigger mixture than I thought, two, I've never seen Insidious, it might scare me, oh and let's not forget that one of your movies was picked."

He winked, and smiled at me.

"And like I said, you have an ego.." I said playfully, as he put in the Notebook to watch first, and sat down next to me.

He wrapped an arm around me, and kissed me.

"Just be quiet, and cuddle with me."

I obeyed, nuzzling closer into his chest.

I could get used to this.

2 hours later.

I felt tears start to fill my eyes as the credits rolled.

Every girl wants a love like Noah and Allie.

James noticed, and concern etched into his face.

"Katie, what's wrong baby? Geez, it's just a movie.."

"I thought I had that at one point.." I murmured.

"Had what?"

I sighed. "A relationship like that..but I was wrong."

James caressed my cheek. "What do you mean?"

I let out a deep breath. "If I told you, you would probably want to run off.."

He rolled his eyes playfully in response.

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm never leaving you, Katie."

"I don't wanna get hurt either.." I said.

"I would never hurt you, Katie. I told you that."

I smiled a little. "I know, but I have a hard time trusting men, and letting down a wall to let them in."

James looked at me softly. "Why?"

I gulped back tears. "The reason, the actual reason why I had to move..was because..of..um..Kyle."

"Who's Kyle?"

"Kyle was my ex boyfriend. We had been dating for five months, and I felt blissful everytime I was around him. I thought that we would get married in the beginning. It seemed like we would. But once things started to get comfortable, he started to get violent. If I did one little thing wrong, even misplacing the car keys, he would beat me to the point where I couldn't move for the next two days. He beat me down to nothing. I was bruised everyday, as was my heart. I was heartbroken and weak, and I felt like the only way I could get out of this, was to run; to escape. He doesn't know where I am, which is good. If he found me, I would be fearful for my life. But, last I heard, he had a new girlfriend, and completely forgot about me."

James was staring at me with shock, and sympathy.

All of a sudden, he kissed me.

He pulled back, holding me close.

"God, Katie, I'm so sorry. I'm so glad that you're okay. Man, that makes me angry that someone did that to you. But, If you hadn't of moved here, you wouldn't be here with me right now. And I promise on my life, I will never hurt you like he did. I'm starting to fall in love with you, and there's no other place I would rather be right now."

My eyes filled with tears of joy.

He laughed, wiping my eyes. I pulled him to me, kissing him passionately.

After a few minutes, he pulled back.

"What about the rest of the movies?" He asked, his glistening, beautiful eyes, staring into mine.

I laughed, and bit my lip seductively. "Forget them."

With that, I pulled him back to me, into a mess of pure love and affection.
