Chapter four:

One week later, you're relaxing at to your place and call Gabriella. "Hey girl! I haven't heard from you since Friday night, how are you?" You can't help but smile. "I'm great! I actually met someone and we've been hanging out since that night." "Oh, you mean James? I met him too remember! He is a tall glass of water. ""Yes he definitely is, how are you and the guy you ran off with?" "It was a fun night, but eh nothing more! I like being single, having fun. Anyways, I'm heading to the mall in about an hour care to join me?" "Sure why not, see you then" You head to the mall and meet up with Gabriella, "Let shop!" You follow Gabriella into three stores which she buys something from each one. She then turns to you and ask "Aren't you going to buy anything?" "No, I really don't need to shop for anything."

 Just then your phone rings, its James and u answer. "Hello, ""I miss you. " he says so confidently. "I miss you too James, how are you doing?" "Good, good I just came back from my mom's house... and I've been watching tv now. But I called because I need you to come with me next weekend. "You ask, "Where to?" He responds, "It's a surprise, but bring a couple nice outfits to go out in and walk around in...you'll have fun I promise." You can't help but blush. "Okay sure send me the details of when we'll meet up, I have a busy week with work but I'm looking forward to seeing you again." He says, "Me too beautiful."

 Gabriella is smiling at you, "Okay girl,  spill it. You checks are as red as tomatoes and you're smiling check to check!" You say happily, "James wants to take me away this weekend, he didn't say where but I am truly excited." "I love you Vic, and I'm so happy for you but be careful okay? I don't want you getting hurt because then I'll have to hurt him." She smirks. "Don't worry Gabs, I'll be good..." You shop around for a couple new outfits, then return home to finish your article which is due tomorrow. "Why did I wait till the last minute?!" You finish your article and it's already midnight when you receive a text from James. "Goodnight Victoria, I'll be dreaming of you...Feeling your touch again...Miss you." You smile, and think "how can he be this sweet, we just met and I can't help but get the butterflies each time I think, see or hear from him! It's as if it's too good to be true... you don't reply you just lay there... thinking. What if... it is too good to be true?

 I really don't know him... okay we're going away this weekend I have time to get to know him then ... part of you wants to let loose and just focus on him and how delicious he is, but part of you wants to be careful because you don't know really know him ... at least you feel like you don't. You start thinking about Aidan, remembering when you just finished graduating and were taking pictures with your family when you turned around and he was on one knee proposing to you... you long for the rush of happiness you felt that day. Then... of course the accident. The major chapter in my life that would change me forever. Aidan was all I knew he showed me love, trust, lust... he showed me it all. Being woken up in a hospital and finding out what happened to your true love... it's devastatingly powerful. You begin to have tears in your eyes... "to feel... to see... to hear... you one more time Aidan, I truly love you, I'm scared to love again because it's not you but I know I must be strong and move on; you would want to see me happy, you always did. " 

 And with that being said you grab your phone and text James back "Rough night for me... lots of thoughts going through my mind... miss you goodnight James. Xoxo" you send the text and wait for a reply... twenty minutes pass but nothing, so you figure you'd better go to sleep. You go to lay down and hear someone at your door. You answer it barley opening the door to find... "James?!" What are you doing here? He stands there in a tight black t shirt and some sweats with a very concerned look on his face. "Victoria!" he rushes to grab your face so gently kissing you like it was his first and last time. You pull away from the kiss, it brings tears to your eyes- the kiss is exactly what you needed in the moment. "Why are you here?" "I- can we sit down... there's something I should tell you about."
