2 months later...

I walked down the New York streets like I have been doing for the past few weeks... Ever since James death... Just kidding.

I've been walking since the past 2 weeks because James was currently out of town for a job interview and I couldn't wait till he got back. It would be any day now and I was so happy. James and I still weren't dating but I was hoping that we would be soon.

Through the few months that we've been spending with each other we had grown comfortable, the most comfortable I've been with anyone. We've learned so much about each other and we've both seen sides of each other that no one's ever seen before.

People would think that it's a lot of work for James and I but it's the easiest thing I've ever done. I was walking home from work tiredly and I just wanted to lay in my bed and fall asleep. I made it to my apartment and when I opened the door there sat James sitting on the couch waiting for me.

As soon as my eyes met with him I slammed the door shut and ran over to him. He got up from the couch but soon fell back down when I jumped on him, he stood up and I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

I buried my smile in the crook of his neck and I felt him run his hand up and down my back. I pulled my face away from his neck and met his lips with mine. It had been so long since the last time we kissed, which we shared at the airport in front of people and let me just say it was pretty passionate.

The kiss between him and I lasted for a while before we both pulled away from lack of air. If we didn't need air to breathe I swear it could have lasted forever. His lips were swollen and pink from the kiss and I couldn't help but smile and peck his lips once more. 

He placed me down on the couch softly and I stood up and wrapped my arms around his body, I closed my eyes and let out a deep breathe. His body seemed buffer. "Have you been working out more?" I asked him with my eyes still closed and arms around his body.

"Yes, for you." He spoke as he ran a hand through my hair. I liked that answer "For you" it made me feel special like one of a kind. I enjoyed these types of moments a lot. James and I standing alone in silence just holding each other it wasn't anything that I've ever experienced in my past relationships.

"I've got an adventure for us." James spoke quietly. I lifted my head off of his chest and looked at him, "What kind of adventure?" I asked and his reply was "A fun one." I pulled myself away from James and walked into my bedroom.

I layed on my bed and waited for James to join me, at the moment all I wanted was to lay with James and fall asleep but when he didn't come into my bedroom I started to wonder what he had on his mind. 

"James?" I asked. James walked into my room without a shirt and I couldn't help but look him up and down. His body was more defined than it was weeks ago and I couldn't help but stare at him. "Babe?" James asked.

My eyes moved up to his face and there was an enormous smirk, James knew what he was doing. "We are leaving soon, so get ready." I nodded my head and went to put on a change of clothes. 

James laid on my bed shirtless until it was time to go. We got into his car and drove off to wherever he was taking us, he had a smile on his face the entire time we were driving and I couldn't help but smile at how happy he was.

Just the simplest things he does makes me smile, and he probably doesn't even realize that I notice it. When James is excited for something there's a constant smile on his face until it happens, when I lay my head onto his chest I can hear his heart race. His eyes change color when he looks at me, and when he's deep in thought he pulls his lip in between his teeth and furrow his eyebrows.

It's crazy how I notice some of these things in only the few months that we've known each other while some people who have known each other for most of their lives don't notice a single thing. One of my favorite things that James does is when he whispers things to me. At night i'll pretend to be asleep and that's when James says everything. He pours his heart out to me and it's so hard to fight a smile when he talks about the way I make his feel or when he talks about how lucky he is.

Every Night James comes home to me and as we are trying to fall asleep he holds me close to him while he plays with my hair. Some nights neither one of us gets sleep from staying up all night talking and laughing.

We learn new things everyday and I fall for him more and more each word he says. People can criticize us all they want but we don't care as long as we are happy. James pulled up in the front of his apartment, we got out and walked inside.

When he flipped on the lights in his apartment there was nothing, it was the same as it always was which bummed me out but I shouldn't expect very much James looked around for something while I explored the rest of the place.

I went into his kitchen and opened up the fridge, there was nothing in there that interested me so I shut it and continued to walk around and look for things. 

While I was searching the house for something exciting a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and there were kisses being placed on my neck. I giggled at the contact, James pulled away from me and I turned around to face him. 

As soon as I turned around he immediately connected our lips together, we kissed hastily. His hands were on my lower back pushing me against himself. We walked backwards until my body hit the wall of his bedroom. 

His hands trailed up my body and his lips attacked my neck. My hands found their way to his hair, My fingers tangled in the strands and I pulled it. He left eager kisses leading up my jaw back onto my lips, I could feel my lips swell up from all the sudden attention that they were receiving.

James lifted me up and kept me pinned against the wall, my legs once again wrapped around his waist. He took us away from the wall and brought us to the bed, when he put me down I was laid gently onto the soft surface. 

James hovered over me, looking at me. I couldn't take the lose of contact so I reached up and grabbed his shirt. I pulled James down harshly and he hovered over me. Time passed and soon we were loosing clothing.

We were becoming desperate. We had waited for this moment for so long and now we were finally going to get it. James and I were left in our pants and while we were working our way up to taking them off there was a knock on the door.

We pulled away from each other and directed our attention to the doorway of the bedroom. In the doorway stood a man, I shrieked with fear and grabbed a blanket and pulled it onto my body to keep me hidden from the unknown person.

The man was laughing, he had a small smirk. James stood up and pulled his shirt onto his body. "What are you doing here?" James asked. The light in the room made it easy to see the face but the sun was going to be down soon.

"I heard you were back in town so I thought I would stop by but it looks like you're busy." He said sounding amused. James hit him and laughed. He turned towards me. "Allison this is Henry, He's one of my best friends." 

Henry waved to me and I gave him an awkward smile. James made Henry leave the room while I grabbed my clothes and put them back on, when I was fully dressed I then officially met Henry. We spent an hour talking to the man  before heading off to somewhere else. 

Instead of going on an adventure like James said we headed back to my place and when I opened the door, candles lit up the room and flowers were placed everywhere. I turned my back to the scene in front of me and got a kiss from James.

I turned back around and walked into my apartment, it was beautiful and slightly similar to what he did before when we first met. James closed the door and faced me towards him. "Allison, I just wanted to tell you that ever since I first laid my eyes on you I knew that there was something different. I know that sounds so cheesy but it's true. "

"I looked at you when you walked into the gas station and you looked different from all the other girls I've seen around here. I got curious so I went into the department store next door to try to talk to you. I was so nervous because I didn't know what to say, I walked around the store and thought of things to say but I couldn't find anything good so I gave up and just talked to you and talking to you was so easy. I know that we haven't known each other for so long but I want to get to know you more and well.. what i'm trying to say is or ask is.. Allison will you do me the honor and be my girlfriend?" 

When James finished the short speech he took in a sudden deep breathe. "Yes, yes I will." I said to James. His face lit up and he reached down and kissed me hard and I couldn't help but laugh at how happy he was it was amazing.
