The Assistant

CHAPTER 8: Jealous Much?!.....Good!!

《JAMES》

I'm not sure what made me say all of that exactly. However, it wasn't like I was lying neither. I truly wanted us to be a couple.

Besides, her sister was being a bitch and after all she told me about her mother and her sister in how they treated her when she was younger while on our way back to the house, I thought it was more than appropriate. Especially after Monica was CLEARLY being a bitch in trying to make Belle jealous.

After I announced we were a couple and despite the silence and the looks we were getting, I just thought, 'what the hell. I already announced it.' So I put my arm around Belle's waist and pulled her closer towards me.

I thought that she would pull away, however, she seemed to go along with the gesture and even the outburst. In which I was really glad.

I'm sure that I probably shouldn't think too much of it. However, she's a smart girl. I'm sure that she has somewhat of an idea right now of how I feel about her. At least, I hope she does.

So instead of pulling away from me or pushing me off her, she went from giving me a surprised and shocked/horrified look from what I had said, to a smile and puts her arm around me as well.

I could see out the corner of my eye that Monica was scowling and then glaring at me and Belle.

"I knew it!" My mother says as she stands and smiles. "Why did you lie?" She asks Belle.

"Because....Because we weren't sure if it was appropriate or not." She says rather quickly.

"Well, I personally think it's a lie." Monica says.

"I'm not one to lie. Besides, you can think whatever you want. We have nothing to prove." I tell Monica with a smirk.

"Well, if it really is true, then why don't you guys kiss?" She says with a smirk and while folding her arms over chest.

I was a little hesitant at doing it because this would be mine and Belle's first kiss and yet, we have to make it believable.

Suddenly I began to feel that maybe also Belle would definitely push me away from her when it involved us kissing.

Though quickly I found my answer as she places both her hands on my face to turn my head to face her and she begins kissing me.

I could tell at first that she wanted to do it to just shut her sister up. However, quickly, as I kissed her back more passionate and placed my hands on each side of her face, I then felt her hands go on the back of my neck and could tell, she was really into it as well.

It was amazing kissing her soft lips. It felt amazing. In fact, it was the best kiss I have ever had.

After kissing for a brief moment, we pulled our heads back a little bit and looked into each other's eyes for a brief moment.

It was in that moment, looking into each other's eyes, that it was all over for me. I didn't want any other woman but her. And the best part of all of it, was the fact that I could see in her eyes that she wanted to be with me too.

We then broke eye contact as soon as we heard Josh laughing and says, "Damn Monica. He looks at her the way Rob has never looked at you. Guess that's the difference between two people who are really in love with one another."

"Shut the hell up!" Monica snaps at him.

Luckily, the doorbell rang and Rose walked over to answer it.

It was Rob, it turned out. Next Monica quickly screams out loud in excitement and runs up to him, throwing her arms around his neck and they begin making out.

It was sickening actually. Along with being very pathetic and CLEARLY she was doing it to try and out do mine and Belle's kiss. My gosh. Clearly someone was still living as a teenager.

Before things got anymore awkward, luckily, Ed suggested we all go upstairs and get ready so that we can go out to eat.

Belle took a shower and got dressed in the bathroom while I got ready in the bedroom.

Though when she came walking out and sitting in the edge of the bed to start putting her heels on, I could tell that her mood had changed from what it was downstairs.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing." She replies as she finishes putting her shoes on and then gets up and walks over towards her dresser and begins to put earrings on while avoiding eye contact

"Come on. I know something is wrong. I know you better than you think I do." I smile at her.

She finishes putting the earrings in her ears before turning around to face me.

"Why did you say that?" She asks.

"Say what?" I asked.

"Say that we were together? We aren't. And now, I feel like I have to keep up with this lie until we go back to our lives again. I mean, yes I want to make Monica jealous. And I really only said that anyways because I got caught up in the moment. But we can't do this. It isn't right. It isn't true." She says to me while trying to hide the disappointment in her voice with what she just said now.

I took in a breath real quick and walked up towards her and as I got closer to her, she backed up a little until she bumped into the dresser. I could tell how nervous she was.

As soon as I got close enough to where we could feel each other's breaths on our mouths, I placed a hand on both sides next to her on the dresser, leaned in a little closer and said against her lips, "Who says it has to be a lie?"

Before she had a chance to say anything, I pressed my lips gently against hers and gave her a long passionate kiss.
