Exhale - Sabrina Carpenter

29

*Ding *Ding *Ding *Ding

James picks up his phone from his bedside table. It's 9am and he wakes up to the sound of his phone dinging a bunch of times.

He's got a bunch of texts from his sister, Hannah.

Hannah: did you see it?
Hannah: James wake up
Hannah: you should probably go check it out
Hannah: James
Hannah: Jaaaaaaaames

James tiredly blinks.

James: whaaaaaaat??

Hannah: DID YOU SEE IT??

James: see what??

Hannah: the picture of you and Sabrina??

James: what picture?? What are you even talking about??

Hannah: a fan took a picture with Sabrina and apparently she had her phone screen facing towards the camera and it showed her lock screen

James: really??

Hannah: yeah someone zoomed in on the phone, it's blurry but you can still see.

James: alright I'll talk to Sabrina about it.

He texts Sabrina.

James: hey babe, it's come to my attention that there's been a photo of you and in it your lock screen has been exposed?

She doesn't respond right away so James starts to get ready for his interview.

Sabrina is on her way back to the hotel from Fendi. It's been a long day and they didn't want to walk so they got a cab. She pulls out her phone.

She has a text from James and a buttload of notifications.

James: James: hey babe, it's come to my attention that there's been a photo of you and in it your lock screen has been exposed?

Sabrina raises her eyebrows.

Sabrina: what?? Ok I'll check it out.

James: Okay, Hannah told me when I woke up this morning.

Sabrina: Okay babe. I'll see what I can do. I love and miss you

James: I love you so much and I miss you too, come back soon.

Sabrina: I will🥺
Then you can show me the surprise 😉

James: 😉 😉

Sabrina quickly goes onto Instagram and looks at her tags. She widens her eyes as she sees it.

Someone zoomed in on her phone screen which she had it facing towards the camera. She mentally slaps herself for stupidly doing that.

The picture on her phone screen is of her and James kissing.

Some of the captions say that they think it's Corey or Griffin. Some even say that it's Joey in the picture. None of them suspect James because nobody knows who he is.

She sighs and slumps back. Sarah looks at her. She leans over to look at her phone and raises her eyebrows.

"Wowowowowowow." She exclaims.

Sabrina nods. Sarah goes to her own phone and checks Sabrina's tags herself.

"They all think it's Corey or Griffin." She says.

Sabrina nods. "Nobody knows James."

"Sabrina, if I were you, I'd just ignore it." Sarah says. "People will probably forget about it later, and your true fans won't post about it."

"You're right." Sabrina nods. "I think I'm just gonna stay off social media for awhile."

Sarah nods. "Good idea."

Sabrina decides to FaceTime James later when she gets back to the hotel room.

James is in the middle of getting ready for the interview. He just got out of the shower and has a towel wrapped around his waist.

Sabrina FaceTimes him and he picks up. She is laying on the bed in her pajamas which consists of a cropped tank top, almost like a sports bra, and boxer shorts.

She widens her eyes when she sees him in the bathroom. She starts to breath more heavily and she gasps.

James grins. "Hello to you too."

"Hi James." She grins. She stares at him and admires his abs and muscles and his face. His whole body is amazing to her. He has beads of water from the shower trickling down his chest and stomach.

He smirks at her staring at him. "I would take this towel off but the government is probably watching so I won't." He laughs. He starts combing his hair.
Sabrina smirks.

She sighs in admiration. "Anyway, I need to talk to you about the picture."

James nods in seriousness. "Yeah, what are you gonna do?"

"Well, people won't suspect it's you." She says. "Most of them think it's Corey or Griffin." She laughs.

"Okay, so what's gonna happen?" He asks her.

"I think I'm just gonna stay off social media for a few days until it dies down."

James nods. "Sounds good. I'm sure it will die down soon and everyone will forget about it."

Sabrina nods in agreement.

James suddenly smirks. "You know what Sabrina? Fuck the government."

Sabrina smiles but she's confused, but she widens her eyes and she realizes. Her breathing starts to get more heavy as James unwraps the towel, dropping it to the floor. Sabrina's breath hitches as she sees it and James grins.

"Oh my God." She breaths out. "I want you to fuck me so hard right now."

He starts drying himself off with the towel and Sabrina can feel her heart beating a million miles a minute.

"Okay Sabrina as much as I want to see you drool over me, I gotta go." He smirks. "I love you and I miss you so much and I can't wait for you to come back and I can fuck you."

"I l-love you too babe." She stutters. "I miss you so much and I can't wait to play with your di-"

Suddenly her phone dies.

"Damn it." She exclaims.
