Recap:

"I wouldn't dream of it." James looks down at me with warm brown eyes. He gives me a passionate kiss, making me blush.

"Looks like the party has arrived." Thea says as we part.

I turn around to see Sam, wide eyed and tense, staring at us in shock.

His wife comes from behind him, smiling and grabbing his arm. She then makes eye contact with me, her smile fading ever so slightly

"Sam!" I smile, James rubbing my exposed skin on my back lightly. He breaks his shocked daze, blinking rapidly.

"Hey!" He exhales with a grin, coming over to our little group. He gives me a friendly hug, his wife and James standing there without a word.

"I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Rachel." He runs his hand through his hair. I turn to the blonde woman, who I've seen in pictures Sam has showed me.

"Hi Rachel! I'm Y/N, it's very nice to finally meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too" She smiles as we shake hands.

"And congratulations on little Claire, you too! I can't wait to meet her." I part from her handshake.

"Yea-" Sam starts to agree.

"Thank you." She replies, cutting Sam off slightly. Sam clears his throat, clearly staring at James.

"I'd like you to meet James, my boyfriend." I grin up at James.

"Hi, Rachel. It's nice to meet you." He shakes her hand. "And of course, Sam." He smiles kindly. With James being a few inches taller than Sam, it made for a somewhat awkward encounter.

Not to mention, Sam is my ex.

"James." Sam pulls back with a sly grin, putting his hands in his pockets. "How long have you two been dating?"

"A few weeks." James puts his hand on the small of my back, warming my whole body.

"That's...great." He blinks, looking straight into my eyes. Even though I'm absolutely smitten over James, I could see the envy in Sam's eyes right behind his kind facade.

Before the conversation could progress, I hear a squeal coming from the doorway. I turn to see Emilia in a fuchsia colored dress, her lips curled in a huge grin.

"Hi, babe!" Emilia trots over to our group, instantly wrapping her arms around my neck. Emilia and I have grown into close friends practically overnight. When you spend 12 hours a day with someone for a month, you get to know them pretty well. Plus, she's come over to help me with things from painting my bathroom to picking an outfit for a dinner date.

"Hey, Em!" I give her a tight hug. The heaviness of the air disappeared when Emilia came in with her huge smile. She additionally gave a hug to Sam and shook hands with Rachel and James.

"It's nice to formally meet you, James." Emilia smiles, making all three of us chuckle.

One weekend afternoon Emilia was coming over for lunch. More often then not, I tell Emilia she can walk right in without knocking.

I was getting ready when James surprised me with a Starbucks drink he picked up for lunch. It ended up us making out on the couch...

Then Emilia walked in...

It was a bit awkward, but it's nothing we can't laugh off.

Sam and Rachel stood looking around awkwardly. Emilia opened her mouth to tell the story, but I gave her a serious look as to say: Do not tell Sam.
