All is Fair in Love and School (COMPLETE)

:) 44- That's The Exciting Part (:

"You mean to tell me that you failed the History test?"

"Yes, I couldn't cheat off you."

"Lucy," James laughs, "Why didn't you study?"

"I did. I'm just dumb."

"Hey, hey," He rubs my side, "You aren't dumb."

"Without you, I am," I laugh.

So, going to bed at a decent time didn't exactly happen. It was close to 11:30 by this point. James and I had been catching up on all the things we missed on our hiatus from each other.

"What else did I miss?" I asked him.

"Well, I missed this," He hesitates a little, "I missed you."

I lift myself up from his chest and turn to face him, "I missed you too," I whisper.

I look up into his eyes and see that he's already staring up at me. Suddenly, his arm that was around my waist shoots up to my head and he slowly pushes me down to him. At the same time he raises his head up so we can connect in the middle. So our lips can connect in the middle.

At first I'm caught off guard. I didn't think anything would happen after the brownie incident, but look how wrong I was.

I let him take the lead on the kiss as I adjust myself so I can straddle him. He lets out a small moan and I can't help but smile into the kiss.

This is what I wanted. This is why he stayed.

I'm holding myself up with my elbows as James brings his own hands to the rim of my shirt. He tugs as a way to ask me for permission and all I can do is moan in approval.

I straighten up and pull the shirt off over my body. It takes seconds for us to reconnect. Soon after I groan and pull on his shirt. It's unfair that I have mine off but he doesn't, even if I do have a bra on. He chuckles a little and flips us over so he's on top. I wiggle under his weight but continue kissing him. He lifts up, like I had, and pulls his shirt off. My eyes fall onto his perfect chest and abs. Sure, it wasn't a defined six pack, but damn, the boy works out.

I glide my arms up his torso until I reach the back of his neck, right where his hair is. I curl my fingers around and pull slightly. I disconnect my lips from his and start sucking on his neck.

His hands go to my shorts and start pulling down lightly.

Well, that's happening.

-*-

"Lucy," James grabs my attention.

My eyes were closed, so I open them when he calls my name.

"Yeah?"

"Why'd you stop?"

I get up, off and out out of his hold, and sit crisscross in front him. In the meantime, James lifts up to sit more upright.

"Because, James," I start to answer, "We aren't together. I don't feel like I can do it with someone like that."

James looks down and thinks of something to say, "You don't want to be with me?"

"That's not what I said."

He looks up at me and smiles lightly. I look up at him and lean forward to give him a kiss on the forehead.
