"I'm not allowed to make a big deal out of things that feel really big to me."

James couldn't help the burst of embarrassment that went through her. She quickly pulled away from the two wiping at her eyes. "God, you both must think I'm such a baby."

"James," Sean gave her a sad smile running his hand over her cheek. "Don't try and walk away from us now, you don't need to feel embarrassed."

She shook her head staring at the watermarks she left all over Owen's suit, "Look I ruined it! I just cried all over you guys," she rubbed the mark on Owen's dress shirt he gently laid his hand on top of her's and she couldn't help but blush. God he really was all man wasn't he complete and utter perfection. "I got snot on you!" She blurted.

She heard Sean chuckle behind her and she couldn't help but blush hard moving her hands to cover her cheek. "Oh lord."

"It's just a shirt," Owen said gently

James gave him an affronted look, "Gabe would be so disappointed if he heard you say that.."

"Mr. Coleman can deal with it," James couldn't help but gasp as he rolled his eyes carelessly.

"Have I died?" She turned to Sean looking at him with wide eyes. "Is this life?"

"What is it that makes you think you're deceased?" Owen questioned pulling her attention back to him.

"You rolled your eyes!" her hands moved widely as she spoke, "You don't seem like the type.."

"Believe me with brothers like mine it's a common occurrence." James squeaked at the words, she wasn't sure way Owen was acting more nonchalant but she couldn't help but to apprentice it. It made her feel more comfortable with him, with everything she's told him she needed that. The little effort of trust he was returning to her.

"You just gotta know when to look for it," Sean winked James's eyes widened as Sean's eyes flickered over Owen's body for a moment. Was he checking the other man out? "You'll learn, I'll teach you the way's young one."

"Not that much younger then you," She smiled shyly at him, she didn't want them to think she was a kid. Why was that so important though? You have a crush.

Ever since Luke brought up kissing her she couldn't help but of the boys in those ways. Not just Luke though, all of them. Sean and Owen included, and Sang. God, maybe she was a whore? Who got a crush on this many people?

"James we do need to talk though," Sean's green eyes flickered to Owen's before turning back to her. "About everything, some medical things included...Would you like it to just be me and you or?"

James blinked glancing between the two, they were giving her the option? A choice? They said she would be getting a choice her on out but she still had doubts...Here they were proving her wrong all over again though.

"Would you stay?" She glancing up at Owen nervously moving her hand to rub at her chest. She couldn't help but think he was going to say no, to tell her to grow up.

"Of course." James blinked swallowing at the words she reached out to grab his hand. She watched as he froze at the movement his whole body tensing. He was stiff and she was just about to pull away opening her mouth to apologize. Then it happened he squeezed her hand back intertwining their fingers.

She felt her body relax as she squeezed his hand, at times he could make her feel uneasy he could see everything about her. Look right at her and pull out all of her emotions. Then there were other moments where he helped her reassured her with a glance. A few words, he seemed to know the exact right thing to say.
