I couldn't help but still think about me and James' little... thing, we had a few days back. Ever since, he's been a gentleman. He's nice to me and like his promise he made, he's never hurt me once. I like this sudden change in him.

I'm now in the bathroom getting out of the shower. I grabbed my clothes I placed on the countertop and put them off after drying myself off thoroughly. I undid my damp hair and grabbed my brush, brushing my hair. I looked down for a moment and when I looked up, he was right behind me. I smiled instantly.

"Hey, beautiful." He leaned down to kiss the back of my neck.

"Hey, James." I said. "Do you need anything?" I said getting back to my hair.

"Yes, actually." He said. "I know you've been locked up in this house for a month now and I'm starting to trust you a lot more."

Where is he going with this?

"Do you wanna go out for dinner tonight?" He asked.

Oh my gosh. Dinner?! With me?! Tonight?! I couldn't have been more happier. I'm finally going to be let out of the house. I'm finally going to breathe some fresh air. I smiled widely at him.

"Yes!" I said getting excited. I turned around and hugged his waist and he immediately hugged back. I haven't been out in so long. We stayed in our embrace until he pulled away.

"We're gonna leave sometime around 8." He said. "Is that ok with you?" I nodded my head. He smiled.

"Ok then." He said grabbing my chin between his fingers. "I gotta go out to do some work stuff but I'll see you later. Yeah?"

I nodded my head and he placed a quick peck on my lips. He walked out of the bathroom and I smiled.

I'm glad he's finally deciding to trust me. I'm so excited for tonight! I feel like starting to trust him now a bit. I might be crazy but I don't know, he's been showing me that he's a changed man.

I placed my hair in a tight ponytail and headed out of the bathroom. I grabbed his laptop he let me borrow and started my online courses for college. He let me start a couple of days after our... you know what. I decided to pick any topic I wanted to do and I chose Math. I'm somewhat good at that. I clicked on "Math" and got started.

The topic lasted for about 2 hours. Phew! Thank goodness I'm done. I checked the time and saw that it was 5:30. I decided to head down to the kitchen to get a snack. James also lets me prepare my own meals if I wanted to.

I headed down to the kitchen into the refrigerator. I grabbed a container of fruit and placed out strawberries, pineapples, and mangos on a dish and headed upstairs with it.

I reached our room and grabbed a new book I was reading now. I finished 'Pride and Prejudice' and I'm now reading 'Hamlet.' I was always a big fan of Shakespeare and his stories.

I was in the middle of reading when I heard the front door opening and closing, along with a briefcase getting set down on the floor. James is here.

I set the dish of fruit on the little table beside me and closed my book. Marking it of course. I headed stood at the door and waited for him to come in. He came in and immediately took off his suit. He looked... moody.

I hugged him, trying to get him in a good mood again. I guessed it helped because he hugged me back and kissed my forehead.

"Are you okay?" I asked. I looked up at him and he still looked mad at whatever made him mad today.

"Yeah." He said exasperated. "Just leave me alone for right now. Ok?" I nodded my head and he kissed my forehead.

I didn't want to ask him more questions because I know he'll get even more frustrated with me. He laid down on his side of the bed and I sat down on my side, picking up my book and eating the last bit of my fruit.

I was in the middle of a good part when James took the book from my hand. He was still laying down.

"Hey!" I complained. "I was just in the middle of a good part. Give it back!" I tried to reach for it but he extended it out so I couldn't.

"Why don't we have a little fun before we leave for dinner tonight." He said. He leaned over and kissed my lips.

"I don't think so." I said pulling away. "It's about 7:30 and you said we need to be ready by 8." He groaned and hit head head back on the pillow. I chuckled. He got up and kissed my lips and went to the bathroom.

I marked my book and headed to the closet. I decided to pick this red dress with some flats matching it. I went up to the closet mirror and see if it would fit right. I decided to give it a go.

I heard James coming out of the bathroom and I turned around to look at him

I heard James coming out of the bathroom and I turned around to look at him. He opened his eyes wide and strutted up to me. He placed his arms around my waist and kissed my lips.

"Baby, you look absolutely beautiful." He kissed my lips again and pulled away.

"You don't look to bad yourself, James." I said. And it was true. He looked really handsome. He had on this suit jacket placed over a red shirt with black shoes. He looked really handsome.

"Shall we go?" He held his hand out to me. I took it and chuckled.

"Yes we shall." I said. I grabbed his hand and we walked downstairs hand in hand.

Once we reached downstairs, he opened the front door and gestured for me to head out first. I stepped out and breathed in that fresh night air I was so familiar with for a while. He grabbed my hand and led me to his car.

It was a Lamborghini. A silver one at that too. I didn't know a lot about cars until Alex and Red taught me playing a new car game they brought. He opened the passenger door and I stepped in. He closed my door and disappeared for like a couple of seconds until he opened his side door and got in.

He adjusted his seat and mine and placed the keys into the ignition. I never learnt how to drive. I always walked to wherever I wanted to go. He backed up out of the driveway and once we were out, he took off.

I pulled down my window and let the cold breeze swim past my face. I smiled at the feeling. James grabbed my hand and held it in his. I smiled. He placed his eyes back on the road.

We were driving for a couple of minutes until we finally reached our destination. We pulled up in front of this fancy Italian restaurant. 'Delizioso' was the name. I glanced at James and he held out his hand.

"You ready to go inside?" He asked. I nodded and we both stepped out of the car.

The restaurant was so fancy on the inside. Not as many people were here. I assumed this was a expensive restaurant. Of course it was. James is very rich. We stood in the waiting line and I held his hand. Excited for the future events that were about to take place.
