I say "Can you believe it? Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water? Flash forward and we're taking on the world together,
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.
I thought about James all day. I was going over everything from yesterday in my head. What we spoke about, the kiss. He really was a good kisser, thinking about the way he held me gave me goose bumps again. What was this boy doing to me?
"Myla? Are you even listening?"Kazia asked. She was talking about what we could have for dinner but i zoned out.
"Um...yeah" Trying not to sound like i was clueless as to what she was saying.
"What was the last thing i said?" She asked raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Um...what was the last thing i said?"Merlin my sarcasm is good. Kidding that was sarcasm too.
"Oh yeah very funny. You were daydreaming, not like you Myla. You're changing already!" she said smirking.
"What are you talking about? I haven't changed" i said my voice half annoyed.
"Oh yes you have, i don't blame you though that's what happens when you fall in love."she said giggling.
"Oi! I. Am. Not. In. Love! I have known him for like 4 days you can't be in love after four days!Can you?"
"Never heard of love at first sight babe? So yes you can fall in love after 4 days because you have!" her grin was getting bigger.
"I am not in love with him. I don't even know him that well."
"Yes you do! You have been out with him twice and all yous do is talk. Plus yous text each other all day. Yeah i know about that too!"
Shit1 how did she know? It was true they had been texting each other alot since the date.
"We did a little more than talking, thank you very much"
Kazia gasped and Myla immediately regretted what she said. She was never going to forget this.
"I knew it! I knew you kissed him! You were far too happy when you came back yesterday!" She seemed far too excited about this. It was like she was dating James.
"Calm down Kazia. Yea we kissed but nothing more okay you know i take things slow for a reason"
Kazia sighed, she knew that reason all to well. The reason why i didn't trust people, why i could never feel vulnerable, why i was the way i was.
"I just think it's time you take a chance Lala, that is all." She walked off to the kitchen to start on dinner whilst i went to my room.
Maybe it is time i take a chance. I mean i can always tell when guys are going to mess me about and James has passed all my little test so far. Hell he even made me late for work!
3 months later
I took a chance. And it was the best chance i ever took. James was sweet, kind, funny, down to earth, fit and passionate. He was a true romantic and took me on amazing dates. My 3 date rule was officially out the window because we had went on way more dates than that and i still hadn't chucked him and don't plan on anytime soon.
He eventually figured out why i was flight risk with a fear of falling too. We were at the beach again , it had become our regular place. I loved it because it was a special place that only us knew about. It was then that he asked me why i was so guarded and i told him everything.
"I feel like i can tell you anything and i have only known you for two months" He said as we lay on our stomachs facing each other.
"I know it's so weird. I have never had somebody i could tell everything too before, Kazia knows alot of my secrets but some things I don't tell her incase she judges me." I said thinking about the things i keep from Kazia, like what me and James talk about.
"What secrets do you have?"he asked sounding curious.
I sighed, i was waiting for this. I was going to have to tell him eventually.
"Well-" but he cut me off.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" he said taking my hand in his.
I got butterflies again just like i did whenever i felt his touch, i hope that feeling never goes away.
"No i want to tell you. Well remember back at the cafe when you asked me why i was so sad?" he nodded and i continued. "Well i didn't exactly grow up in the happiest of families, my dad was an alcoholic and he would always come home and fight with my mum. He would hit her and she would scream at him. They would say they were getting a divorce and make me choose who i wanted to live with but weeks later they would say they were getting back together. We moved house alot when i was younger and before i went to school so we could get a fresh start, but we never did. I would think that things were going to get better but they never did. It was like a cycle really, dad comes home drunk, dad hits mum, they break up, i live with mum, weeks later they get back together, then it all begins again. That's why i am so messed up and don't trust people. I can't afford to live through what my mum went through and she let me watch it all. I lived in a constant fear that he was going to come home one night and hit me this time. I can never feel too vulnerable in relationships either it scares me. The day i met you was the day my mum called me to tell me that her and my dad were going to try again. It killed me to know what was going to happen again. I had to get out of the apartment so i apparated to Diagon Alley and met you." I smiled indicating that my story had finished. I told him the shorter version as the other one was far too long. It wasn't that different though.
I looked up at him, but he didn't look at me. He was looking out into the water. He said it relaxed him, that's why he loved it so much.
He turned to me and looked straight into my eyes, every emotion going through his eyes.
"Did he ever hurt you?" He asked sounding angry.
"No" I whispered
"Do you trust me?" he asked looking straight into my eyes seeking the answer.
"With my life" I whispered. He smiled a half smile then pulled me closer cupping my face in his hands.
"You know we'll never make your parents mistakes" he whispered our foreheads were touching. I smiled as he leaned in and kissed my lips softly. I kissed him back just as passionately Her pulled away suddenly I was a bit startled but when he looked me right in the eyes and he said
"I love you" he whispered. I tried to stop myself smiling but couldn't my heart was pounding out my chest and i swore i heard fireworks going off somewhere.
"I love you too." I whispered back as he kissed me again.
And at that i knew that me and James were forever. I told him my biggest secret and my insecurities and he said he loved me. Bye bye flight risk because this girl has fallen and it's too late to save her and return her back to her old ways.
"JAMES! Wheres my hoodie?" i called. I had been looking for it for ages now and had given up and decided to just ask James.
"In your drawer" he whispered in my ear as he cam up and wrapped his arms around me from behind. Leaning down and kissing my neck. Damn him for being so tall.
"I should have known" He chuckled and spun me around to face him. His smile never failed to send me butterflies, how the hell did i manage to pull this one.
"You really are beautiful you know that Miss Pink?" he pulled me closer, closing the gap in between us.
"So i've been told" i half smirked.
"If i find out you have more admirers than just me then i'm afraid i will just have to use an unforgivable curse on them." He said half joking, half serious.
"T'aww is wittle wames jealous?" I asked making a baby face.
"Oh yes!" he said picking me up and spinning me round until we both fell onto the couch in fits of laughter.
After the laughter had died James shuffled up so i could lie with my head on his lap.
"Can you belive it?" i ask him
"What?" he replies curiously.
"How much things have changed in three months, it's sorta scary" i say looking up at him as he plays with my hair.
"I know in three months i have met and fallen in love with the most wonderful girl in the world" he said leaning down and kissing my forehead.
"I know! I have met some prick who is full of himself and is a total munter who thinks he is in love." I said jokingly
"OI!" he said nudging me. He was laughing though, i chuckled.
"Kidding, i have met the most gorgeous guy and fallen in love with him."
"I love you Miss Pink"
"I love you too Mr Potter"
I life really had changed. But for the better. I saw James as often as i could even though he was in Healing school all the time and working in the cafe. Whilst i was at work alot. I had practically moved in with him but all of my stuff was over at my apartment.
But i was finally really really happy and that was all thanks to James.
