That Person Would Be You

Chapter 19 - Lily

"Just relax, you look great. Not to mention that you guys are practically in a relationship already... hasn't he seen you in like pyjamas?" Jane said from my computer screen, she was back in Oxford (where I'll be returning to tomorrow) laying in her bed.

"Yes, but that's different. That was through the computer and my camera has shit resolution... and it's just, I don't know, it's different." I said as I looked at my bag. "Damn it why did I only bring these clothes?"

"You've changed enough times already! You look fine! Stop freaking out!" Jane yelled.

"You're looking at me through a shit camera, he won't!" I complained

"He's half in love with you already! I think if you showed up in a onesie he'd be happy!" She yelled at me and Drew opened the door as I was about to yell back.

"He's downstairs and she is right." He said and I blushed. It was still pretty weird to have my brother so in the loop of my relationship, or non-relationship actually. We were never that kind of close.

"Of course I'm right! He took one day! One day! To ask you out and go out since he arrived from a freaking warzone!" Jane pointed out.

"Ok, well I don't have the time to change even if she wasn't so... Bye Jane!" I shrugged and walked out the door of my room, walking downstairs trying not to be nervous, Drew following behind me.

He is in the small entrance hall looking around and even though he looks somewhat awkward I'm happy that my mother isn't home or she'd be there making small talk, and even though she is great and makes everyone feel more comfortable but it would make us take more time here and seeing him in that shirt looking handsome as always I don't want to take more time!

"Hey!" He said as soon as he saw me, smiling so brightly that makes me feel butterflies in my belly and safe at the same time.

"Hey!" I said smiling back at him and kissing his cheek quickly.

"You look absolutely beautiful." He whispered in my ear. Possibly because Drew was still in the fucking room! I wanted to kick him out but couldn't think of a discreet way of doing it. "So, I brought you something and I just hope that you remember and understand why!" He said and grabbed a little gift wrap from the table next to him.

"You didn't need to bring me anything," I say softly as he hands it to me.

"I wanted to..." He shrugged as I started opening the gift. I unwrap it and see a cartoon of milk. I look at it absolutely surprised. He remembered our first texts! He had told me to text him if I needed anything and I said I needed some milk. "Crap, you don't remember, do you? I should have just gone with flowers..."

"No!" I said smiling brightly at him "No! I told you I needed some milk and you said you'd have it here in three months!" I said and he nodded smiling back at me. "I take it back, it's an excellent service," I say and he laughs I kiss him on the cheek again. "Thank you! It's perfect!"

"How the fuck did I end up here?" Drew asks behind me and I turn around.

"I don't know, but before you get out of here get this in the fridge please," I say giving him the bottle of milk. "I'm gonna get going. Bye!" I said and holding James' hand head towards the door.

"Bye. I don't hate you!" He answered.

"Don't hate you either!" I said as I closed the door behind me and immediately turn to James. "I'm sorry Drew was there."

"Don't worry about it," He shrugged. "It's nothing new, right? He was there for about 90% of our conversations before. And he introduced us, you got to give him credit for that." He said and I laughed.
