"I saw you. I saw you kiss her."
My heart clenches recalling the image as I struggle to keep the tears behind my lashes. Why am I crying? This is stupid. 
"Aria, I already admitted we kissed but SHE kissed ME. And it meant absolutely nothing. I pushed her away and if you had stayed around, you would've seen her slap me."
His voice is pleading but I'm too busy thinking about how Sam smiled when she saw me standing with the two coffees in my hands in front of them.
"Why do you even care Aria? You told me that this-us, was nothing." 
James asks, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
"I lied idiot! I care because you're the first guy I've let break the shell I spent so fucking long, building. I care because she was my best friend and she destroyed me, the very thing I was afraid of you doing. I care because I love you!"
Holy shit. Holy fuck. I didn't just say that. But his wide eyes tell me that I did.
"You love me?" his smile widens as I start backing away.
