Exhale - Sabrina Carpenter

20

Sabrina is sitting at her desk, finishing the work. Ever since James came back, she has regained the motivation to keep working and get it done.

James is sitting on her bed reading a book of Sabrina's. He gets up and stretches and walks over to Sabrina. He wraps his arms around her from behind and brings his lips to her neck and starts kissing all around it.
Sabrina giggles and grabs onto his arms and rubs them.

"James." She giggles. "You're distracting me!" She laughs.

"What, can't you concentrate with my lips on you?" James jokes, giggling.

"Hell no." She laughs, turning around and facing him. A teethy grin spreads across her face.
"How'd you get to be so beautiful??" James asks, grinning at her.

She smirks. "I don't know, guess I was just born with it?" Sabrina grins, joking.

"I know you're joking but it's so fucking true." James grins. Sabrina wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him.

James stands up. "I'm gonna go get you some water, since there's none here. You want anything else?"

Sabrina smiles, thinking of how thoughtful he is. "I'm a little bit hungry, but I can get myself a sandwich."

James shakes his head. "Nuh uh, you said you wanted to finish your work." He smirks. "I'll get it."

Sabrina smiles at him sweetly. "Thank you babe."

James grins and makes his way out of her room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

He gets the stuff out to make the sandwich.

"Hey James." Sabrina's mom, Elizabeth, says entering the kitchen.

"Hey Mrs. Carpenter." James says, starting to make the sandwich.

"What are you guys doing up there?" She asks quizzically.

"Sabrina's just finishing some work." He says.

Elizabeth nods, leaning against the counter and folds her arms. She turns to him.
"James, my daughter is very important to me, as are all of my other daughters. I don't want Sabrina to have to go through any hardships that a 20 year old should not have to go through."

James nods, not sure where this conversation is coming from or is going. "I agree Mrs. Carpenter, Sabrina is very important to me too, and I don't want anything bad to happen to her."

Elizebeth nods. "So that's why, I think you should not be sexually active with her." She says bluntly.

Shocked, James turns to her. "Um, w-what do you mean?" He asks, confusion and a bit of shakiness to his voice.

"You and I both agree, I'm sure, that Sabrina is very busy. She can't take the risk of motherhood right now. So in the risk of her getting pregnant, she and you will just have to stop."

James is in shock and he can't think of any words to say, none that come to mind that would be appropriate to say anyway. he's confused on where all of this is coming from. He thought it was so random and a bit embarrassing to be talking about this with his girlfriends mom.

So he just nods. "Um, okay Mrs. Carpenter."

She smiles, nods and walks away, out of the kitchen.

James stands there, in shock for a minute, until he finally picks up the plate with the sandwich, the glass of water, and moves his feet out of the kitchen and upstairs, opening the door to Sabrina's room and stepping inside, closing it behind him.

Sabrina looks up from the book that James was reading, and now Sabrina, and smiles at him, a big grin across her face.

"If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." James smiles, quoting from the book she was reading. One of her favorite ones, though she hasn't read it in awhile, Looking For Alaska.
