*James' POV*

I was waiting outside The Ritz. I adjusted my suit a bit and smoothed out my shirt. I was so nervous, I'd never felt like this before. I felt like someone had just shot 1000 volts of electricity through my body but it felt good. I wonder how much longer I'd have to wait to see Anisa.

I stood there watching the cars go by to see if I could see any sign of the limo that I got for her. I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I got excited thinking it was Anisa trying to sneak up on me...but of course it was Ashleigh. She always turns up at the worst times. 

"What the fuck do you want?" I hissed at her.

"Wow, you look good," she giggled "Oh and I want this.." she said as she lunged herself at me and pressed her lips against mine. I tried to push her off gently but she wouldn't move so I put my hands on her chest and pushed as hard as I could. 

 I looked up to see if anyone had seen, that's when I saw Anisa running down the street in the opposite direction from us. FUCK! I didn't know what was happening all I could feel was the cold  harsh air hitting against my face as I chased after Anisa. I ran for a couple more minutes until I caught up to her.

"Anisa, what you just seen, I swear it's not what it looked like" I said, telling the truth. It was up to her if she believed it or not.

"Really, James? Because I'm pretty fucking sure it seems exactly what it looked like. You know what? I thought you'd changed. This whole date thing? I thought it was a new you. I thought maybe we could take a shot at a relationship. I am madly in love with you but I guess I've got to rethink that." Woah, she was mad before she even knew what was happening, but I know where she's coming from. And to be honest, she looked really cute when she was angry.

"I am changing, trust me. I planned this all for you, you honestly have no idea how fucking nervous I was. I turned around and Ashleigh just threw herself onto me, that's all it was. I swear down. I don't want anyone else beside you. When I'm with you I see someone I've never been able to be with anyone else." 

She looked up at me with tears formed at her waterline, ready to pour out. I thought she was going to slap me but before I knew what was happening she jumped up onto me and threw her arms around my neck. I pulled her in and embraced her. 

Before I let go I heard clapping and people cheering. We both looked up and realised there were so many people who had stopped and were watching us. Anisa looked so shy and embarrassed it was adorable and I couldn't help but burst out into laughter.
