So I pulled out my phone as James went into the kitchen to rummage through the refrigerator. Apparently he was hungry. First I dialed Marygraces number.

"Hey, Bri!"

"Hey. Guess what?" I was so excited to tell someone. I really wanted to shout it from the mountain top.

"Um… You turned into Batman?"

"No" I said between giggling fits. "I'm going out with James!" I said it so loud he poked his head around the corner. With his mouth stuffed with food. Then he grinned. I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from laughing.

I heard her gasp. "Marygrace?" I had to make sure I didn't kill her with the news.

"Oh my god!" She screeched. "Yay! I'm so happy for you!!! Any way Edwards here so I have to go."

I made kissing noises into the phone. My thing I do when she says that.

"Hey now I can ,make fun of you too! Ha ha"

I groaned into the phone. "Bye!"

"Byes!" Then she hung up.

I could still hear him in the kitchen rummaging through the cupboards. So then I called Ashley.

"Hey I kinda cant talk now" I could hear Jake kissing her neck itching to get to her lips. I always call when they were with their boyfriends. Now its their turn.

"Kay tell Jake I said hi. By the way I'm going out with James now!" Then I flipped my phone shut.

I held the phone in my hand waiting for her to call back. Sure enough not 2 minutes later my phone vibrated in my hand.

"Hey there" I said nonchalantly.

"WHAT!" She screamed so loud I had to remove the phone from my ear a little bit. The I heard Jake whining impatiently "Ashley come on, we have to go!"

The I heard Ashley say "Hold on sit your butt down! Ok so what?!"

"I'm going out with James" I tried to control my excitement but I just couldn't.

"Wow! That's fricken amazing! Any way I have to go. Ill talk to you in school."

"Kay bye"

I started to get up when I see James flying at me. Smack! He tackled me to the couch. He adjusted me so I was securely held on his lap. I twisted my head to peck him on the lips. This relationship didn't feel like it was moving too fast. He kissed me then he said "I invited Jasper and his new girlfriend Erika .

"Awesome. I've never met Erika. Jaspers pretty cool. Do they know?" I wanted to know if he boasted just as much as me.

"Of course!" I snuggled my head into the nook between his head and shoulder. This was so comfortable. Then a knock came at the door. Of course.

I started to get off of his lap and he just held me there. He got up cradling me in his left arm, and opening the door with his right arm. God he was strong. His breath smelled like cookies. That's what he must've been eating.

When Jasper and Erika saw me and James they both started laughing. Normally I would've been embarrassed but I was happy to be in his arms. I must've been getting heavy so he put me down.

"Hey Bri" Jasper said pulling me into a hug.

"Hi Jasper" I said hugging him back.

"Hello Erika" I greeted her with a hug. She kind of looked surprised that I hugged her but she hugged me right back. "My name is Brianna but you can call me Bri"

"Hi Bri" She seemed kind of shy. Ill have to work on that.

"Hi Erika" James greeted her the same way but without the hug.

We all went to sit on the couch. His couch was a love seat since it was just him and his dad. His sister was in college. That reminds me I wanted to know what she did. Ill have to ask later. So it was kind of crowded on the little love seat.

James picking up on the close-quarter seating winked at Jasper, and then pulled me into his lap. I let out a little shriek. I wasn't expecting that. Jasper did the same to Erika. She let out and even louder scream. She really wasn't expecting that. Now we weren't crammed into the little couch.

We watched TV for a little while. Then I said I had to go home. If I didn't get home I would be in trouble. We said goodbye and then James drove me home.

During the car ride home I remembered what I wanted to ask him. "Hey so what did your sister do?"

I saw his jaw tighten. "Oh. She just keeps skipping classes. She's such a retard sometimes."

"Oh" I reached over to intertwine my fingers through his. As soon as he felt my hand on his he flipped his and intertwined his fingers with mine.

We were already at my house. "See you tomorrow." I leaned over to kiss him. We kissed for a minute.

He replied "Yea. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"sure"

"Okay. Umm love you"

I could feel the blood rush up to my face. "I love you too" It felt right when I was saying it to him.

As I shut the door I could see him laughing as he drove away. Why do I have to blush so much. I wonder how many times I blushed and didn't even know it at James house. Probably a lot.

So I dragged myself up the porch stairs and into my house. Good my mom wasn't home form work yet. Good that gives me time to do my chores like washing the dishes and doing my laundry.

As I washed my laundry I started to worry. What else is new. Should I tell my mom about me and James. Or shouldn't I. I mean she likes James and all. After about a half an hour of arguing with my self I decided to tell her.

I was absent mindedly flipping through the channels when my mom walked in with pizza. Yum. I was starving.

"Hey honey" My mom said looking into the living room at me.

"Hey mom!" I turned off the TV and walked into the kitchen to help set up the table. I put out paper plates and two glasses filled with milk. I went up and got myself two big pieces of cheese pizza. When my mom sat down she asked how my day was.

"Amazing" Hoping she would notice the overplayed enthusiasm in my voice, like she usually does when I wanted her to notice it.

"Wow so what happened?" Yep she really observant when she wants to be. Or when I want her to be.

"Well… James asked me out!" I exploded.

"Wow. What'd you say?" She was almost as excited as I was. Almost.

"I said yes of course" I definitely made the right choice to tell her.

"That's awesome honey. I like James a lot. I was waiting for him to ask you out since sixth grade." Wow she's really taking this well. I cant say I'm surprised though. She's the best mom in the world.

"I know me too" We both giggled like little school girls.

The rest of the night went off perfectly. I helped clean up. The I did my homework, took a shower, got into bed. The. My favorite part I fell asleep dreaming of James. Today was the best day ever. I'm going out with my best friend whom I love. I'm in a complete state of bliss.
