Be My Future

4.

Nat's POV

I received a text from James saying that it was something urgent and that he wanted to see me in a class that was currently empty.

I left my friends saying that I was going to the bathroom and I went to that class.

When I closed the door behind me I felt two hands grabbing my arms and pulling me.

My back hit the wall and I felt two lips on mine, kissing me.

I smiled kissing back: those were James' lips, I could have recognized them among thousands.

-I couldn't resist more- he whispered.
I smiled and kissed him again.

-They think I went to the bathroom, it has to be a quick thing- I said.

James smiled and we kissed again, my arms on his shoulders and his hands in my hair, touching me like if it was the only way to stay alive.

-Come to my home today- he said.

-What?- I asked kissing him again.

-Use an excuse, say that you want to explore more of the city and come to my home- he said.

I nodded and he smiled.

I told Steve I wanted to go to the park to study in peace and he was ok with that, he just said that aunt Lily was cooking a big dinner tonight for no reason and that I should have been home earlier.

It was around 3.00 pm when I reached James' home: it was a small flat, not too modern not too old.

-You live alone?- I asked.

-Yes, my paremts hate me and kicked me out- he said sighing.

-Oh I'm sorry- I said.

-It's ok, I don't see them since ages- he said -Sorry for all the bottles-.

-You drink a lot- I said.

There were a lot of bottles in all the living room, all alcool bottles.

-No it's that my friends and I had a party yesterday and I still didn't have time to clean- James said -A few seconds and it will be all cleaned. Do like if you are at home-.

I started looking around: the flat was cute and very warm, it had a small open space with kitchen and living room, a bathroom and James' room.

I walked into his room and I noticed that there weren't many photos of him or his parents, just posters; also, there were bottles there as well and clothes on all the floor.

-Sorry, it is all messed- he said.

-Yeah I can see that- I said smiling.

We sat on his bed and he soon started kissing me.

-No one can interrup us here- he said.
I smiled and kissed him back.

It was sweet, nothing too deep. I loved that James wanted to respect the fact that I needed time before that.

-There is a reason why I accepted to come here today- I said.

-What reason?- he asked.

-I am leaving- I said.

James froze: he looked at me confused.

-What do you mean?- he asked.

-My aunt wants to move to Los Angeles, she found a very good job there and wants Steve and I to go with her- I explained.

-Can't you stay here?- James asked taking my hands.

-She... She took care of me when my parents died, I can't leave her alone... I have to do this even if I don't want to- I said.

-I understand... Maybe we can keep texting and calling- he said.

-Yes, we definitely can- I said.

We hugged.

-I will miss you- he said -But I'll wait for you-.

-Me too-.

A few years later...

I never called James. Not because I didn't want to but I had to change phone and everything and I lost his number.

I had no ways to find him again and I was so sad about that!

I finished university and I was living in Los Amgeles, working as a doctor.

Steve graduated too and we both lived very close since we were working in the same hoapital, he as a surgeon and me as a psychologist.

It was all perfect except for one thing: James.

But one day...

-Doctor Romanoff, there is a patient for you- my secretary said.

I opened the door of the room: James.
