Best friends should never leave

Chapter 11

Summer walked down stairs to find Taliha walking in the front door.
"Heyy girl how u doin."
"Ok wha are u doing here?"
"Come to see how you are."
"Oh ok."
"What's wrong."
"oh I was just having time alone that's all."
"Do you still want time alone?"
"Yer please if that's ok."
"Yer sure sister your morning I get that your mum just asked me to bring this around for you it's not much but I bought you some extras."
"Ok thanks."
"I'm gonna go now bye sweety"
"K bye don't cry too much."
"I'll try."
Taliha walked out the door and drove away.
"Come downstairs James I have food."
"But summer I"
"I DO NOT CARE COME GET FOOD."
He walked down the stairs fully dressed in what he was wearing earlier that day.
"What is food?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"What food do you have?"
"Chinese I think."
"Ok but I'm just staying for the free meal."
Why?"
"I've got the late shift tonight."
"Ok what about dessert?"
"Depends what it is."
"What ever I can find there will be something."
"Ok."
They sat down together and quietly ate their dinner.
"So what's our plan?" Asked Summer.
"Well you seem like you don't want to keep this a secret." he answered
"Well what do you thing?"
"No, you want to tell people and that can't happen, so what's going to happen."
"I think that you should." she stopped mid sentance.
"What, what should I do."
"Figure it out yourself."
"Ok let me think."
They sat in silence till that had both finished their dinner. Summer got up, cleared the table and got dessert ready. She at back down at the table in the same spot.
"I think I've got it." James finally said.
"What is it then?"
"You want me to ask you to be my girlfriend, isn't it."
"Oh I don't know is it your meant to be good at this your the cop."
"It is right isn't it."
She was trying to play hard to get and she thought it was working.
"Summer I can't do that ."
"Why not?" She questioned.
"Because you are still getting over Coupers death. I have it documented that the last thing you said to him was that you love him and that the last thing that he wrote to you was I love you. I can't do this because I will just be a fling, it won't mean anything to you because I will only be a distraction from Couper."
"How can you say that, you don't know anything that happened between me and Couper you don't know the full story."
With that Summer stood up and stormed off to her room. James sat there contemplating weather or not to go up there or just leave. Finally he stood up grabbed the tub of chocolate chip, chocolate and caramel ice cream and the plate of brownies and walked up the out of the room. He was half way up the stairs when he realised he had forgot the spoons for the ice cream. He place the things down on the step ran back down and grabbed two spoons from the draw. He went back picked up the food and made his way to Summers room. The door was opened slightly, he pushed it open more as quietly as he could. He saw Summer laying on her bed looking at a picture. He walked over to her bed as quite as he could placed the things on the floor. He looked over her shoulder and looked at the photo before sitting down on the bed.
"Nice photo there." He said in a whisper.
"Thanks." Summer replied in a unstable voice. "It's of me and Couper as kids."
"I can see that. You look so happy together."
"He said he had love me for years but never had the guts to tell me or ruin our relationship, he tried to lose the feelings but couldn't, I had stolen his heart as he had mine."
"You really have a way with words don't you."
She sat up and looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You just make everything have meaning."
There was silence before anyone said anything.
"He was my family, my brother, my lover, my advisor, my caretaker, my bully but most of all he was my best friend I could never trust anyone as much as I trusted him. He knew all my deepest darkest secrets and any other secret, most before I knew myself."
"Here you need it." James handed her the tub of ice cream. He handed her a spoon and put the plate of brownies on the bed. He grabbed a spoon for himself and dug in.
"When do you start work?"
"12:30."
"Ok."
"Look I will make you a deal."
"Ok."
"I will ask you to be my girlfriend if you promise if you ever feel like you can't do it you tell me straight away. Ok."
"Ok."
"Will you Summer be my girlfriend?"
Summer giggled.
"What's so funny about that?"
"It sounds like you proposing to me."
"Oh."
"Yes."
"Yes what."
"Wow your a stupid."
"Why."
"Yes is will be your girlfriend."
"Oh in that case."
James leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips, pulled away and shoved a brownie in her mouth.
