The Puzzle Of Jiley

Don't Forget About Me

I finally decided to call him because my text paragraph would be way too long. After a few rings, his voicemail came up so I ended the call but called again right after and on the first ring he answered.
"Hey," he said. I melted at his warm morning voice.
"You sent the wrong text to me James." I quickly said.
"Oh, wait, what?" He kind of stumbled.
"I'm not Sydney," I said, my voice cracking, sounding like I was going to cry but I actually wasn't.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He said realizing everything.
"Who's Sydney?" I asked feeling way overprotective and feeling like an idiot.
"She's a friend Riley, I promise just a friend," he said slowly and clearly.
"Yeah, yeah but I have this feeling like you guys are something more." I said and I realized I was crying and I didn't know why.
"Are you crying Riles?" He asked. To be honest i just wanted him to kiss me.
"No, I have to go." I said.
"Riley we're not hanging out she's a friend! Please," he said apologetically and very fast because he knew I was going to hang up.
"Yeah, I'll see you," I said and hung up. I planted my head in my pillow and cried for a few minutes not even knowing why. Why didn't I believe him? I wanted him here with me because he's the only one I have but I feel like he doesn't feel the same. He's already lost his virginity and that's serious with a girl. I've never really had a serious relationship before. I decided to get sweatpants on and a white tshirt that you could see my pink bra right through to but I didn't care. The doorbell rang and my eyes widened. I crept downstairs and tried looking out but I couldn't make out the person. Hopefully it was Emily because I really needed advice. I decided to open it. It was James. How great. He was fully dressed normally and casually and his smirk made me smile but I quickly erased it.
"Can I come in," he asked with a straight face. Hopefully there were no signs of me crying because then I'd look like a fool. James put a piece of hair behind my ear and I smiled, keeping it there.
"I came here because I wouldn't want to hangout with anybody else," he said and I quickly wrapped my arms under his and held onto him for a long time. I pulled away and smiled at him looking up at him.
"You're amazing." I said and he kissed me on the forehead. God, how can he get me to forgive him like this every time. We moved over to the couch and I curled up to him as we turned on the tv.
"I hope you know that Syd is a nobody, like honestly." He said waiting for the tv to turn on.
"Yeah, I don't even know what I was thinking." I said and he smiled.
"I really like that shirt though." He said referring to the see through shirt to my bra and he laughed.
"James!" I said and playfully hit his arm.
We watched a movie and then got up afterwards and I stretched.
"What would you like to do?" I asked playing with his hair, and sitting back down beside him.
"Whatever you wanna do, but I was hoping we could go get food." He said and I agreed, grabbing my car keys from the kitchen table. It was a silent drive and James changed the radio a few times to get a song he liked and then sang really loud to it. I had no clue where I was driving so I just pulled into the In N' Out. I looked down at myself and realized I was still wearing that preverted shirt so I asked James for his sweater and he wrapped it around me which was adorable. We both ate fries and burgers. As we were leaving the restaurant I saw someone familiar was walking up. Sydney of course. James quickly looked at me and I raised an eyebrow. He grabbed my hand signifying that we were a couple and she walked up to us.
"James, hi." She said showing her smile. She was in leggings and a crop top, clearly wanting to show her butt.
"Oh and Rachel, hello!" She said looking at me and I raised my eyebrow again.
"Riley," I corrected her and she smiled apologetically. It was then when I realized she wasn't so bad after all.
"What's your number?" I asked and James looked surprised. She punched it in my phone and smiled. Then she said bye and walked away.
"That went way better than I thought, Rachel!" James teased and I rolled my eyes and got into the car.
"James, can I quickly go into the bathroom, just wait here." I assured him and hopped out. I had realized I really had to pee but I was quick and rushed back to the car.
"Everything okay?" James asked pulling out.
"Yes, where are we going now?" I asked realizing just then that James was driving my car.
"Wherever my girlfriend wants to go." He said and kissed me quickly on my cheek.
