"Yes Mom", pause "Okay Mom" I could hear the aggravation in James's voice as he spoke into the phone.

"When?" He asks.

He groans at her response.

"Yeah okay, bye" he hangs up the phone.

"Darling" he calls me from the kitchen where I was ease dropping on his phone conversation.

I peak my head out from the corner. "Yes?" I question him innocently.

"Please come here".

I do as he says and walk towards him and stop once I get stand in front of him.

"Could you please rub my shoulders?" He asks nicely.

I smile and kneel on the couch and press my hands into his shoulders, working my fingers around all his muscles.

He groans out as I do so.

"What's wrong?" I question him.

"My Mom", he groans again, "She wants have us over for a weekend" he explains.

"Why are you so stressed over that?" I ask.

"She expects things, Sweetheart" he tells me.

"I have a way better idea as to what will get your mind off that" I smirk.

He suddenly turns around grabs my hips, pulling me into his lap so I straddle him.

I kiss his lips for a brief second and then move down his his jaw down to his neck.

"You know I thought you might have had bit of an idea to what we were talking about since it was quite obvious that you are ease dropping in the kitchen" he chuckles.

I grab the hem of his shirt and whip it off of his back.

"Rough much?" He asks.

I pull away from him,"Lay down".

He does as I say and I get on top of him, hovering.

I press my lips back to his, his hands sliding up to hips and down to the hem of my shirt.

I couldn't help but smile against his lips.

I pull away from him to take it off then return my lips to his.

He separated his lips for me, since I wouldn't.

I gently tugged on his bottom lip with my teeth.

There was a knock on the door, but I ignored it.

It just continued.

Shit.

"Babe, someone's got answer that" James manages to mumble out.

I groan angrily and stand up putting my shirt back on.

"How do I look?" I ask.

He shrugs, "Flatten out your hair" he smiles.

I chuckle and straighten out my hair.

I unlock the door and open it up.

It was one of the last people I thought I'd see.

Luke and my mother.

Holy hell.

"Vena! It's so great to see you!" My mom pulls me into a hug.

I smiled and held onto her. I saw her last right before I moved out.

It's been like five months.

Next I hugged my little brother. He is seventeen but he's will always be my baby brother.

I pulled away from him and felt a hand land on my shoulder from behind me.

Oh right, James.

"Oh, Mom and Luke this is my boyfriend, James" I introduce him.

He smiles and holds out his hand, "Hi".

My mom takes it and returns the smile, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend, Ven".

"Well I do" I glance up at him, "Anyways, do you guys want to come inside?" I ask.

"Hey how are you, Man? Still got that girlfriend of yours?" James casually asks my brother.

Oh god, not again.

"Let me guess, you guys are friends?" I ask.

They nod and my mom and Luke take off their coats and hang them up.

Why is it that my family feels the need to visit me unexpectedly?

They sit down on the couch that James were just making out on mere seconds before I opened that door.

James and I sit down on the love seat side by side.

"So what's up with the unexpected visit?" I ask.

My Mom shrugs and looks at Luke. "It was actually more of this guy's idea. He said that we haven't seen you in awhile and he was right so we just came down for the day.

My mom and Luke live pretty much right on the other side of New York, as where James and I live on the opposed side of them.

"I knew you missed me, Lukey" I smile.

He glares at me, "No! That's wrong! Don't lie to her" he argues.

I shrug, "Whatever you say" I smirk.

"So do you guys live together?" She asks.

I look at James and nod back to my mom. "Yeah we do" I reply.

She smiles, "That's good, for how long?" She asks.

"Four months" I answer.

She goes to ask but James cuts off her curious mind.

"We're room mates and over time we became close and feelings developed" he answers.

I grab his hand and lace my fingers through his.

She smiles brightly at us. "I'm happy for you guys" she genuinely looks happy for my choices.

I mumble a thanks and stand up, pulling James up with me.

"One second"

I pull James into my room, shutting the door.

"I am so sorry about this. It must make you feel so uncomfortable" I look down at my feet.

He places his hand on the side of my cheek, lifting my eyes to his.

He presses his lips to mine and wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me against him.

I wrap my arms around his neck just as he pulls away from me.

"I felt I needed to do that" he smiles.

"Quite reassuring, thank you" I smiles.

"Come on, we shouldn't keep them waiting"

I nod in agreement.

~~~

"It was so good seeing you guys again" I hug my mom.

"You too, Sweetheart" she hugs me back, "Don't forget about our Christmas get together" she reminds me.

I smile, "Yeah, I won't".

I pull my brother into a hug and kiss him on the cheek. "I'll see you soon" I tell him. I really did miss my family.

She opens the door, "Okay sweetheart, talk to you later. Call me more often" she steps through.

I smile and nod, "Yeah I will".

My mom and Luke say bye and leave the apartment. I shut the door and lock it.

I was suddenly pushed against the door. James was in the kitchen but he wasn't anymore obviously.

He slides his hand down my hips to the hem of my shirt.

He kisses the side of my neck, sucking on spots.

"Baby" I moan.

He just slides his hand up my shirt, edging his fingers to my bra.

"I've been waiting four hours to finish what you started" he mumbles. against my skin.

I lift his chin to tear his lips from my neck. I press my lips to his and tug at his bottom lip.

"Jump" he mumbles.

I jump up and he holds me up as I wrap my legs around his hips.

He turns us around and carries me down the hallway to his room.

He kicks the door open and Eros me onto his bed. He whips off his shirt and returns his soft lips back to mine.

I place my hands on the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me.

"Darling" he mumbles and pulls away from me.

I open my eyes and look at him. "Yes?".

"We need to get some food" he says randomly.

I raise an eyebrow at him, "Was it really necessary to announce that right now?" I ask.

He shrugs and rolls off me, "Lets go" he tells me, putting his shirt on.

I stare at him bewildered.

"Seriously? You can't wait until we were done?" I ask.

He shrugs, "We can continue later. I think that you need to know the kind of pain I had to go through today" he smirks.

I glare at him and stood up and walked past him, mumbling 'I hate you' as I pass him.

Seconds after I said that he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me against him. Hr wrapped his arms around me, placing his hands on my stomach.

"I know you love me" he whispers in my ear.

I shake my head, trying to get out of his grasp, but failing.

"I don't. Especially not now" I try to get away.

"Well I know that I am falling in love with you" he kisses my cheek.

And I just stopped struggling. Those were the words the made me stop.

"Are you sure about that, James" I ask him.

He rests his chin on my shoulder. "Yes Vena. I am absolutely sure" he kisses my shoulder.

I smile.

This conversation went from my anger to Janes confessing that he's falling for me, which made my anger vanish because I knew I felt the exact same way.

It was 8:00 at night and we were grocery shopping.

I don't know why he wanted to go so abruptly and he wouldn't tell me either. It was 'Just because' or 'because I want to'. He really was weird like that.

"Crackers?" He asks.

"One box" I answer.

"Cookies?" He asks.

"Six boxes" I reply without hesitation.

He looks away from the shelves and at me and gives me a silly look. "Six boxes? Seriously? How about you cut that in half" he puts three boxes in the cart.

I smirk, "How about you put three more boxes in or I won't let you touch me for a week" I threatened.

It seemed to work too since his eyes widened and he threw three more boxes in the cart.

I smile and continue walking on, feeling pretty proud of myself.

James caught up to me pretty quickly, "Only because I care about you".

I chuckle, "That is most certainly not why, James" I cross my arms.

"Then why then?" He asks further.

"Sex" I reply in one word.

He gasps, "That is not why!" He exclaims.

I smirk, "Sure. What ever helps you sleep at night" I tell him.

The whole store was literally dead. I think James and I were the only ones in here besides the staff.

"You, Darling. You help me sleep at night" he smiles.

I couldn't help but smile.

He chuckles, "I think you're cute" he comes up beside me and kisses my cheek.

I shrug, "How did you feel about my Mom's little surprise visit today?" I ask him honestly.

He shrugs. "I like your Mom and your brother, but I've met him before".

Oh yeah, that's right. James is friends with all my brothers. Kind of weird if you ask me.

"That's good".

"So you good coming out to my parents house for the weekend?" He asks.

I shrug. It did nerve me thinking about spending the entire weekend with such successful people.

"Yeah it should be good" I mumble.

He stops walking and pulls on my arm to stop me.

"Vena, I can see it written all over your face that your a liar" he calls me by my real name. It had been awhile since he did that.

"I can hear it in your voice. If you don't want to go then we don't have to. Its all up to how you feel about it" he places his hand in mine.

"Really it's fine, James. I want to get to know your parents" I say more confidentiality.

He gives me a tight smile and nods after a moment.

"Okay. Let's finish up here and go home. I want to watch a movie cuddle you for awhile" he smiles.

He is so honest.
