It was the morning after our little fight and James was already pissing me off.

"Baby" James gently shakes me awake.

I groan and roll on to my stomach. I feel his rough hands slip underneath the hem of my shirt and start to knead my back. Even though I was still a bit mad, I knew that he knew that I was under a lot of stress at the moment, with school, my family and James and all.

His hands move away from the middle of my back to the curves in my hips. I suddenly feel his lips on the back of my neck. "You're so beautiful" he mumbles against my skin.

I roll over onto my back and look at him. He smiles and gently places his hand on the side of my face. He leans down and delicately presses his lips to mine.

"I'm sorry" he tells me.

I bite the inside of my cheek as I think.

Really, I didn't know what to say at the moment, he has just been making me so mad lately and I just don't know what to do about it.

He opened his mouth to speak again, but someone opened his bedroom door before he had the chance.

"James Henderson, where is your shirt? And why isn't it on you?" his mother questions him.

He smirks at his Mom. Suddenly his Father appears behind his wife, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I'll get this one, Honey" He tells her.

She nods and goes back downstairs.

William comes in and shuts the door behind him.

"Son, why aren't you wearing a shirt? You are in the presence of a lady" he cross his arms across his chest.

He smirks at me and then to his dad, "She's seen me in less."

As soon as he utters those words my jaw drops.

His dad rolls his eyes, "Put on a shirt, you horndog" he tells him and leaves almost immediately.

As soon as door shut, James burst into laughter, but I didn't. I was so completely embarrassed.

"Seriously?!" I shout at him.

He stands up and slides his pants off, leaving him in his underwear.

"Relax sweetheart, he knows it's a joke" he smiles at me as pulls on some jeans.

He sits on the edge on the bed and grabs a shirt out of the suitcase.

"But, you weren't joking" I tell him.

He pats beside him on the bed. "Come sit" he tells me.

I move up and sit down beside him.

He looks at me and smiles, "Of course I wasn't joking, but he doesn't know that. You definitely know that I wasn't" he leans over and kisses my cheek. "Don't worry about it, alright" He pats my thigh.

He stands up, "Now get whatever stuff you have and put it back in the suitcase because right after breakfast, we're going home. I've got a class this afternoon" he tells me and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him.

One minute he's making me the most furious person in the world and the next he's making me want to kiss him.

He has got to be one of the most confusing people I have ever met.

I pack my stuff up and anything that James didn't get and zip it and stand it up.

I drag my feet downstairs to be met with the strong smell of bacon.

I follow the smell into the kitchen and see the two men sitting down at the table and Julia cooking breakfast.

"Good morning, Darling. Would you like some breakfast?" James's mom asks me.

So that's where It came from...

"Yes, please" I smile.

She dishes up a plate and hands it to me. "Is that good?" She asks.

I nod, "Yes, this looks absolutely lovely" I complement.

"You don't have to be so nice to her, Vena. She's just my mom" James looks up from his phone for a minute.

"Vena, how do you think your Mom would feel about trading children?" Julia asks jokily.

I chuckle, "I don't think she needs anymore sons."

James gets up walks to us.

"Are you sure?" she asks, smiling.

"Mom, are you sure you are cut out to plan our wedding?" he smirks at the both of us.

My jaw drops and Julia drops her spatula on the floor.

William slaps his newspaper on the table and stands up in a harsh manner, "James David Henderson. The living room. Now" he says sternly.

They leave the room and I look at Julia for any sign of what exactly just happened.

She shrugs, "He doesn't lie. I am defintely  not cut out to plan a wedding" he goes back to her cooking.

I can't get married. I am so not ready to get married yet. I'm only nineteen for god's sake. I'm way too young for this. What if he proposes?! I most definitely can't do this. We've only been together for like a week.

I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder. "Sweetheart, don't stress. He's most likely being a dumbass. Don't worry" Julia tells me.

I smile at her, "Okay."

"Now eat your breakfast before it gets cold" she gives me a fork gestures for me sit at the table.

I was done my breakfast just as James and William came back in. I avoid his eyes at all costs. I can not get married.

I set my dirty dish on the counter and thank Miss. Henderson for breakfast and rush out and up the stairs.

I shut the bedroom door sit down on the floor against the bed. I take a deep breath.

In and out.

In and out.

It had been some time that I was sitting there until someone came in.

"Vena, we have to go" James tells me.

I stand up and go to grab the suitcase, but he grabs it before me, making me look at him. Of course my eyes were met with him, but I just quickly looked away.

I jog down the stairs and waiting at the bottom was James's parents.

Julia pulls me into a hug. "I promise you It will be fine. Just don't worry" she whispers.

William holds out is hand and I shake it, giving him a tight smile.

James and I say good bye and he shuts the door behind us.

I get into the front seat as he puts the suitcase in the trunk.

Well I better get ready for the most awkward ride of my life.

We managed to make it halfway home, but of course an exact individual had to make it difficult and speak.

"Darling" he speaks.

'It's just best to ignore and keep your mouth shut', I told myself.

"I will pull this car over, Vena" he tells me.

"What James?" I ask, annoyed.

"You know what" he tells me.

I shrug.

"Vena, don't just leave hanging here. I was trying to joke around, kind of" he keeps his eyes on the road.

"What the hell do you mean 'kind of'?" I question him angrily.

He didn't say anything, he just sat in the silence.

Just as I thought he was going to take the next exit, he didn't. He took a detour into a old rundown gas station.

He turns off the car and just sits there in silence.

It was a long time before either of us spoke.

"Vena, I love you" He looks at me. "So fucking much."

This makes me look at him.

"What?" I ask, not being able to process what he just said.

"You heard me" he grips the steering wheel.

I gulp.

"I know that one day, I am going to marry you Vena Anderson because I have never felt this way before. Everyday, I feel like there is a possibility that you will get fed up and leave me" he takes a breath.

His words just left me speechless.

"On the nights that I can't sleep, you are always snuggled up to me and I have to keep my breathing at a steady pace or you won't sleep" he tells me. "You are so peaceful in your sleep".

"I thought that my past would most definitely make you leave, but you didn't. From day I moved in, I knew that I was going to fall in love with you. I just didn't think it would be so brutally."

He left me completely and utterly speechless. I had no words.

"And Babe, we are going to get married one day and you know it, because I know that you love me just the same. It may not happen soon, but it will happen" he laces his fingers through mine and pulls my hand up to his lips.

"I love you so fucking much", he places his hands gently on my face, "You may not be able to say the same, but I know how you feel Vena."

I push my lips to his wrapping my arms around his neck. He pulls me into his lap, making me straddle him. He moves his hands from my face down to my hips, slipping some of his finger under my shirt.

I pull away and rest my forehead against his. "I love you too, James" I tell him.

He smiles, "And it took you months to realize that you had feelings for me, but only a kiss to realize that you love me" he chuckles.

I laugh and lean back. Being the dumb person I am, I leaned against the horn.

He laughs at me. I chuckle and get back in my seat. I buckle myself back up.

"You have a class to go to, James. Let's go" I tell him.

He smiles and starts his car back up.

"Okay you have fifteen minutes to get to class, James", I bring our luggage into the bedroom, "Go get your bag and go now" I order him.

"I was serious about you being more peaceful in your sleep" he yells to me as he grabs his bag.

"Whatever" I yell from the bedroom.

"Come kiss me good bye" he shouts.

I chuckle and come out the bedroom. I jog up to him and I try to give him quick peck, but he didn't have the same idea. He kissed me long and hard.

I push his chest away from me, "Get to class" I tell him.

He smiles and quickly pecks my cheek.

"I'll be back in a few hours" he tells me, "See you in a bit" he shuts the door behind him.

Well this would be a good time to finally do some homework.

The sound of keys rumbling around the door is what woke me from my homework trance.

The door opened and shut quickly.

I look back and see my boyfriend standing there looking more tired than ever.

I pat the spot beside me, "Come sit" I tell him.

He doesn't even bother taking his coat off or his shoes, he just flopped down.

"How was class?" I ask.

He gives me a little smile, "It ran an hour and a half long."

"Sit up" I tell him.

He groans and sits up anyways.

I slide his jacket off his back and toss it on the floor and he kicks off his shoes.

On both sides, I grab the hem of his shirt and pull it off him and toss it with his jacket.

He leans back again and smiles at me. I climb on top of him straddling him.

"What a wonderful way to come home" he smirks.

I press my lips to his neck, moving up to behind his ear. He groans and grips my hips.

He turns me so that I am underneath him, while he is hovering above me.

He kisses my lips. I part my lips and tangles his tongue with mine.

Unexpectedly the door swings open. "I'm back bitches!" I hear Grayson yell.

"Oh dear lord. She showed him Pitch Perfect" I mumble.

"Aw James, did we ruin you the chance of getting some?" Ryder snarky voice speaks.

But as soon as James knew that they weren't any real intruders, he just went to making out with me. He wasn't embarrassed of it either.

"Ew, guys please stop. That's disgusting" Leah pleads.

James pulls away from me, "Says the girl who hasn't left Grayson's apartment for the last week", he puts his lips back on mine.

I push on James's bare chest. "I'm sorry, Baby. I can't concentrate with them here."

He sighs and gets off of me.

"I hate you all" he groans.

I smile and sit up.

"So I haven't seen you guys around much lately" I smirk at Grayson and Leah.

"What's up with that?" James nods to their interlocked hands.

Grayson was about to speak but Ryder interrupted him.

"Oh let me tell you, dear Vena" he smirks. "It all started one day when I was supposed to hang out with Grayson, but I open the door and find him on top of my sister" he glares at Grayson.

Leah blushes, but Grayson doesn't, if anything he looks proud.

James puts his arm along the back of the couch. I move over and lean into James. He wraps his arm around my shoulders and kisses the side of my head.

"You two seem pretty close, is she pregnant or something?" Ryder asks.

James looks at me and raises an eyebrow at me.

I raise an eyebrow back at him.

"I'm not pregnant, James" I tell him.

"Well this is awkward", Leah drags Grayson to the door, "Come on. Let's go."

"I'm going to then. I'm not leaving them alone again" Ryder follows them out the door.

As soon as the door shuts, I shift and look at James. "Why would you think I was pregnant?" I ask him.

He shrugs, "Well we haven't been having any sex lately, you start to wonder things" he says.

"We've only had it once James, there is not a strong chance that I am pregnant, considering the protection we used" I tell him.

"Okay okay, I get it. We don't need to talk about this any longer" He pleads.

I smile. It's pretty funny that's he's not even comfortable about talking about this stuff, but he he's comfortable with doing them.

He reaches for the remote and turns it on.

I snuggle up closer to him and wrap my arms around him. He wraps his arms around me holding me close.

"Babe, what do you want to do about dinner, it's getting to be that time" I ask him.

He smiles down at me. "How about pizza? I know how much you love pizza" he asks.

"I love you" I tell him.

He smiles and kisses the top of my head, "I love you too, sweetheart."

Those words really did sound like music to me.

___________________________________________

I know it's been like a month or two, but I have excuses, okay? Good ones too.

First off, I'm in high school and it's important that I get high grades.

Second, I work so I hardly ever have extra time anymore, but I got a bit now.

Thirdly, I just got out of a relationship, but I'm back on my feet now.

Now I felt like I needed to update because I wasn't getting any votes or reads really lately. 

I great hopes for this book and as soon as I proof read the whole book, I feel like it could be really great. I want this book to go places. Thank you for all the support, it's really great.

I have a We Heart It account by the username of @brightwhitesnow It's where I get a lot of my inspiration and I make a collection on there titled 'I Am Living With A Idiot'. Lots and lots of gifs in there.

If you have any questions or comments on my book, please message me. I would be happy to answer them.

Thank you,

BWS
