Its twelve O'clock in the morning and I've just gotten out of the shower and snuggled into my favourite unicorn slippers, throwing on a pair of shorts and a tank top. ' girls just want to have fun' is playing softly in the background so I rush to pick up my comb, not wasting any time. Before I know it I am dancing around my room dramatically pretending my comb was a micro phone. Right then my phone starts to ring and I see James' face flash on my screen. "Hello?" I say into the phone. " Emma come down" I hear his low voice speak. "Down? Where? Now? Its past mid night James. " I whisper so I don't wake my parents up. " Yes I know, I have to show you something, I'm waiting. " After saying this he disconnects the call. I crawl towards my window and peek outside to find James leaning against his rustic motor cycle with his helmet hanging off the tip of his hand.
I fell butterflies fluttering eagerly in my stomach as I tip toe downstairs grabbing my keys on the way out and closing the main door behind me gently. " James!" I shout-whisper. A toothy smile spreads across his chiseled face after which he walks towards me and pulls me in for a bear hug. Grabbing my cold hand with his warm one he leads me towards the bike. " Where are we going ?" I ask curiously. "You'll see beautiful. " He says and I begin to instantly blush. He calls me beautiful all the time and yet every time the word leaves his mouth this weird sort of excitement flows through me and my cheeks go pink at once. He takes the helmet and fastens it on my head making sure its tight enough. " James wheres yours?" I say. " I only have one, you're the first person to ride this baby with me" he says. " I can't take this, you need to be sa-" before I can complete my sentence he places his finger on my lips urging me to shut up. " you're wearing it. " he says authoritatively after which he swings one leg over the bike with ease and leans forward waiting for me to take a seat too.
After traveling for about fifteen or twenty minutes we reach this beautiful spot. I see the waves crashing against the dry shore in the distance. The sound thrilling me every time I hear it. I look up at the sky and gasp with astonishment to see various stars sparkling in the night sky. This view isn't something you usually see in a city. " it's absolutely gorgeous I say. "Yeah the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid my eyes on." He says looking directly at me. The dim night light falls on his gorgeous face making his green eyes glisten like emeralds. I could stare at him for hours together, thinking about how lucky I am.
"Come on." I hear James say softly as he leads the way towards a blanket spread on top of the sand with a basket kept on it. An oil lamp lighting up the his little set up. Its perfect, absolutely perfect. " did you do all this?"I Say only causing him to smirk , rubbing the back of his neck maybe for the millionth time. Does he know how sexy he looks when he does that? All I know is that my heart skips a beat every time he does. What can I say? It must be love.
After an hour of spending quality time with each other, staring into the never ending sea and nibbling on the food he had packed in that basket of his... I lie down on the blanket and breathe out. I look up at the stars and then take a good look at James who is now lying down beside me. He's grinning widely and I giggle at the sight. Slyly his hands creep up to my sides gripping my waist as he starts to tickle me out of no where. I yelp with excitement. The dog knows how ticklish I am!
" Oh my god , James stop!" I cry gasping for air " okay okay , I'll stop." He says as he giggles and lays back down. I breathe heavily for a few more seconds until my rapid breathing comes back to normal. I playfully punch his arm and say." You're such an asshole!", " yeah thats true, but a very cute asshole isn't it?" He says winking at me after which I burst out laughing. " I've seen cuter" I shrug. " ouch" he says holding his chest pretending to be in pain. " fine, you're the cutest one I've ever seen" I say rather truthfully.
The confidence he emits when he's around me is un believable. James is someone who doesn't really open up easily. Sure he has loads of friends and is always the centre of attention but somehow I notice him feel lost in the crowd. He doesn't get the kind of attention he really wants and around me I feel like he gets that. This side of him, I adore. The side of him he shows me just makes him ten times more attractive than he really is. James makes me feel special. Like I'm the only girl in the world. He makes me feel beautiful and worth something. He too, I can say brings out the real me.
" I really miss my dog." I say out of the blue. I don't feel the need to ever explain myself to James. Whatever I'm thinking and whenever I'm thinking it I can say out loud to him without the scare of being judged. We're absolutely transparent with each other. I feel comfort around James. " I miss him so much. Its like a piece of my heart was ripped out of my chest when he passed away. " I say a stray tear trickling down my warm cheek. James wipes it away immediately, taking my hand and saying,"I'm really sorry Em, it'll get better I promise. I'm always here for you, always." He smiles reassuringly at me and I give him a small smile back. " How about we do one thing? I'll get you a puppy for your birthday. At least this way you'll have a reason to remember me every now and then. " he says and my heart goes all happy. " I don't need anything to remind me of you jamie. You never leave my mind anyway. " I say looking at him and caressing his face with one hand. " I love you, I love you so much." I say and pull him close. I finally said it. I see his face light up with happiness and in this moment I feel truly, completely and purely happy. I gently kiss him and snuggle in closer. " I love you more angel" he whispers into my ear and holds me tight planting a kiss on my forehead.
" Wait does this mean you're my girlfriend?" He says excited. " Is this you asking me out?" I play dumb.
" Hell yes!"
" Then this is me saying yes. " I say to him flashing my teeth and squeezing my eyes almost shut and he does too.
