Afraid To Fall

16

*Anisa's POV* 

 We just looked at each other after he'd finished singing the song. It was like time had frozen and it came to an end when Jack said: "Me and Chloe are going for dinner tonight so we should really get going!" 

We walked them to the door and waved goodbye. Me and  James went up to my bedroom.

"James?" 

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Who was the song for?" I asked, not sure whether it was about me or Ashleigh.

He walked over from the dressing table and sat down on the bed next to me. "It was for a very important and beautiful girl who's bringing out my best side" He said as he traced his finger across my cheek. 

We lay down on the bed and he had his arms wrapped around me. We were sat still for such a long time that I fell asleep. 

By the time I woke up it was morning and James was no longer beside me. I got up and walked towards my door to see there was a sticky note on my door and as I walked closer I could see there was writing on it. 

"Good morning gorgeous! Sorry I didn't get to say bye to you last night:( But I'm a very busy man! I brought you some McDonalds, it's waiting for you in the kitchen P.S Be ready by 7:30 we're going on a date - James"

I read it over again and rubbed my eyes just to make sure I wasn't in a dream! I can't believe he would do this, he's become such a sweetheart and I couldn't love him anymore. 

I ran down to the kitchen and saw a Mayo Chicken burger, fries, Chocolate Muffin and Coca-Cola on the table! 

It felt as if I was trapped in time as I waited more and more impatiently for mine and  James' date to hurry up. I didn't even have anything nice to wear. Was the date just like casual or really fancy? I started to panic and ran upstairs to see if I could pull together a reasonable outfit. I opened my wardrobe and there was a black clothes bag hanging there with a shoe box underneath it. He had once again left a note on the bag.. 

"For my princess" - James

I unzipped the bag and found a gorgeous strapless blue evening dress with crystals. Wow! It was absolutely stunning. I opened the shoe box and there was a stunning pair of silver high heels which were embellished with crystals. I was so speechless, James really had out done himself this time. 

Time passed and it was now 7 o'clock and I had my dress on, I had my hair in an up do and did my makeup. I didn't go over the top just foundation, a bit of bronzer and blusher, silver eyeshadow, feline flick (eyeliner), and false eyelashes and a desert rose coloured lipstick. 

I was so so excited for tonight, he really did try to make this as good as he could and he had succeeded. I think this date would be an appropriate time for me to actually tell James that I had strong feelings about him.

Another half an hour passed and James still hadn't turned up. I started to think whether he'd stood me up...If he had that would ruin everything, all the effort he'd put in to it would just vanish. That's when I heard my doorbell ring and I jumped up. I opened the door and to my surprise there was a man stood there in a tux and I looked over his shoulder to see that there was a black limo parked outside. NO WAY! JAMES HAD LITERALLY DID ALL OF THIS FOR ME? FUCK, HE WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON EVER. 

"Miss, I've been requested by a certain someone to pick you up and take you to him" The man said. 

He held out his arm and I linked onto it and he walked me to the limo and opened the door for me. I bent down and carefully sat down, being cautious of not messing my dress up before I even got to see James. There was a huge TV and there was bottles of champagne stored in buckets of ice on the side. I grabbed a glass and poured myself a drink. 

I'd been in the limo for about 15 minutes until we pulled up infront of The Ritz. It was one of the most expensive and classiest restaurants in London. 

The driver opened my door for me and I got out! That's when I saw it...

Right in front of The Ritz, stood James with his hands on Ashleigh's chest making out with her. I was so embarrassed, not for me, but for them. I couldn't believe my eyes.
