Chapter 11: What Happens Here Pt. II
Groaning, James shifted a bit to accommodate the weight on the right side of his body. He heard distorted talking in the background that caused his brows to furrow. Then there was the distinct sound of giggling followed by a moan. For a second, he thought he was back in his old dorm with Peter while Peter had either Mia or Victoria there. Then he remembered exactly where he was and with who.
Curse Vegas…
Opening his eyes, James looked to his left to see movement coming from J.T's bed. He was beginning to get used to living with just Fiona where the only sex there was between the two instead of having to tiptoe around Peter with Victoria. Mia never did that sort of thing with James there, sleep or not.
"J.T…" Now James could make out a voice. One he had heard before…
"Trish, shut up." This came from James's right, more specifically, one pissed off Emma Nelson. "You're no better than these two."
Ah, that was her name. Trish. His other roommate for the trip. James let out a breath as he reached for his pants on the floor beside him. After finding it, he grabbed it and pulled it to the bed.
"So you're awake too?" James eyed J.T, whose head poked from beneath the comforter of his bed, Trish's body beneath his. "I guess we have to continue this later."
"Aw…." Trish moaned in protest.
Emma sat up. "I can't believe I agreed to this." James let out a small laugh as he checked his cell phone for the time and missed calls. "What's so funny Mr. Nichols?"
"Nothing mate. Sorry." James said with a smile on his face. His smile slowly died when he realized that he had missed two calls from Fiona. "So what's the plan for today?"
"A shower. You stink." Emma said before looking at the sleeping Manny in-between them. "And wake your friend up."
"So she slept with you, huh?" J.T asked, moving off of Trish. "Shocker…"
"No jealousy J.T. And no morning quickies either." stated Emma. "I've had the worse sleep ever."
James frowned. "Why's that?"
"Well, next to you two," Emma's eyes then moved to J.T and Trish. "These two came in sucking each others' faces off and tripping over everything!"
"Em… Not now…" Manny let out. "Go back to bed…"
"I can't. You're in my spot." Emma deadpanned.
Manny then gasped and sat up quickly, dismissing the thoughts that she was still very much naked. James could see J.T ogling Manny as her current form left little for the imagination.
"Craig…" Manny said. "Shit, where's my phone? I-"
"Shut up. He called already. I told him you were staying with me. You passed out. Drunk." replied Emma.
Manny sighed. "Thanks Em. I owe you one."
"Ahem…" James cleared his throat. Manny looked at him. "You're kind of letting it all hang out love."
Manny frowned before she gave a short squeal of embarrassment and covered herself up.
"You two…" Emma said moving to the bathroom. "By the way Manny, Liberty and I are going out later on today. Coming?"
"Sure." Manny answered. "Could you give us some robes?"
Emma went into the bathroom as James sat up. James began check his messages, knowing that Fiona would leave at least one if this was important. Before he could check his message, a white robe covered his face.
"Thanks…" James muttered to Emma as he felt another robe hit his head.
"It's the least I could do." James did not see it, but he heard the smile on Emma's face. She was taunted him just like last week before they left for the club.
Removing the robe from his head, he found Manny already in hers, tying the fabric belt tightly. James frowned a bit as he wondered how Manny was able to put hers on while remaining under the sheets that fast, but brushed the thoughts aside as he put his on as well.
Once the belt was securely tied, he rose to take his call into the hall. James spotted J.T eying him but chose not to say anything about it. Emma warned him that J.T could be a little jealous whenever someone got with his high-school ex.
Sighing, James went to check his voicemail first. Depending on the urgency determined whether or not he would call Fiona now.
"Hey mate!" James began laughing at her faux Australian accent. "I'm just making sure you didn't go get hitched or anything. Bobby's sleeping now… Call me if you get the chance. Oh! And Viva Las Vegas!"
She was fine. Probably drunk, but fine nonetheless. James sighed in relief at that thought. For some reason, his mind played all the bad things she could be calling for. Thoughts flashed in his mind of a drunken Bobby… James shuddered as he blocked the thoughts from his mind.
"Hey," Manny said stepping out of the room, her foot keeping the door from closing completely. "Are you okay?"
James smiled. "Fine. You?"
"I…" Manny began before crossing her arms in an insecure way. "I'm happy."
"No you're not. I can see that much love." James stated. "But, you will be. I know so." Manny smiled. "Besides, I think J.T's a little jealous… I wouldn't want to further piss him off."
"You're right." replied Manny. "Well, I'm going to go in here, shower up, and get ready to have this day out with Em and Liberty. Hopefully I can find them someone." James saw Manny give him a suggestive smile. "You know, you and Em…"
"Really Manny?" Manny laughed as she pushed the door opened wider.
"Wouldn't want you-know-who to be pissed, would we?" she said walking into the room.
James smiled before going back into the room. He had a good feeling about today. Maybe it was because he woke up in a bed with two lovely ladies? Maybe it was because he got a reassuring message from a clearly happy Fiona? Either way, today was going to be a good day.
After taking a well-needed and deserved shower, James got dressed and left to get him something to eat. His three roommates and Manny had left earlier, each of them going with a different person. Trish was meeting up with Tinsley, J.T went out with Toby for a "guys' thing", Emma went to go check in on Liberty, and Manny went to go talk to Craig. All in all, it left James pretty much alone.
Making his way to the café within the hotel, James was greeted by the Coyne Twins.
"Well good morning sleepy head." James gave Fiona a small smile as she kissed his cheek. Despite the completely ordinary gesture, James saw Declan's eyes roll. "What took you so long to get up?"
"Have you tried waiting on Emma to get out of the shower?" James asked.
Declan shrugged. "Couldn't be worse than Tinsley."
"I bet." James stated.
"Fi and I were going 'sight-seeing.' You in?" questioned Declan.
"Sure." James said. "Where'd you two have in mind?"
"Criss Angel." Fiona stated quickly.
James nodded with a frown. He had not idea that she was such, dare he say, a mind freak.
"Let me get me something to eat." James stated as he began to move away from their table. "Criss Angel? What has she been drinking…?"
James scanned the assorted foods that were out for the hotel's guests. After much deliberation, he settled with an apple and a bagel with a cup of coffee. The apple was because he was not really hungry. The bagel and the coffee was just his normal at The Dot in Toronto.
"So," Fiona said to James as he sat down. "What did you do last night?"
The food in James's mouth was a bit hard to swallow, but once it was down, he glanced at Fiona.
"Well," James began. "I was dragged into a club by Holly J and her friends." Fiona's brows furrowed. "It was four on one. I don't think I had much of a choice bird."
"As if you would refuse." Declan muttered. Fiona caught her brother's words and turned her glare towards him. "Seriously Fi, the guy has to live sometimes."
"There is one thing I have to tell you. Alone." James said.
Fiona gave James a small nod, though Declan looked as if he did not approve at all. James was then reminded why he never put himself in-between siblings. It annoyed the crap out of him. And with Declan monitoring his every move with Fiona, it only annoyed him more. Still, Declan was a friend. Sooner or later, he would lay off.
"Um, I'm going to go check in on Tinsley." Declan said rising.
"We won't leave without you." Fiona stated. Declan gave her a nod before walking away. James saw Fiona look him squarely in the eye with curiosity. "So… What did you have to tell me?"
James sighed. "It's… It's nothing good, I can say that."
"Really Jaime? You couldn't just wait until-"
"How about we go talk in my room or your room?" James interrupted.
Fiona nodded. "Yeah… Let's do that."
James finished his apple and bagel and chose to take his coffee with him. The two ended up going to his room where the maid had just left, replacing the sheets he and Manny had soiled. He felt bad enough as it was, but the fact that he was back at the scene of the crime just made him feel worse.
"So… What's wrong?" Fiona asked. By her tone James knew that she expected the worst.
James sighed. "Alright… Last night, I went out with Holly J and her friends." Fiona opened her mouth. "And then I got a call." Fiona closed her mouth, apparently pleased that whatever he did had nothing to do with Holly J Sinclair. "I met up with Manny…"
"You slept with her?" James nodded at the question, causing Fiona to sit down on the bed he and Emma share. "Really? Why?"
His mind failed to come up with a valid explanation. James was used to lying to get out of trouble when it called for it, but his lips would not move to lie to Fiona. It scared him to think that he may have fallen in love with her in a few short days living with her. They lived like a happily married couple and he did not want that to go away. Not now at least.
"Bird, I really don't know." answered James. "I… She wanted to have sex just one last time because she knows that you and I-"
"You told?" Fiona responded, her voice in a harsh whisper.
"No! She just assumed we were because, well let's face it, we're around each other a lot." James told Fiona. "But, she asked for one last time, and I did." Fiona's face clearly showed her anger and disappointment, something James could not blame her for. "I understand that you're mad. Hell, I'm mad. I-"
"I'm not mad Jaime. I'm disappointed and pissed." Fiona's words were laced with the dreaded woman's scorn as her eyes narrowed. "How could you even do that? Did you even think about what I would say?"
"That's why I'm telling you now Fi." James said. "I didn't want anyone else to tell you because…"
Fiona's brows rose. "Because…?" James stood silent for a moment, causing Fiona to smile. "Say it."
"Say what?" James asked confused.
"Tell me you love me." Fiona stated, her smile growing into a victorious grin. "Tell me that the unloving James Nichols is in love with Fiona Coyne."
"What makes you think that mate?" Now that James saw the smile and heard her tone of voice, his shame was quickly defeated by his former demons.
Fiona rose. "Come on Jaime. Tell me and I'll forget this ever happened."
"…" James remained silent. She knew that he had such a tough time even thinking about being in love with someone, so why would she make him say it?
"Look at me," said Fiona as she placed a hand on his cheek. "I love you, James Nichols. Now, you say it."
"I…" James began. Fiona's eyes appeared to sadden at the fact that he could not say those words, which added pain to his guilt. "I love you too, Fiona Coyne."
Fiona smiled before kissing him. She pulled back, her grin still as wide as ever.
"See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" Fiona said as she removed her hand. "And while I'm still pissed that you slept with Manny, again, you can make up to me." James raised a brow. Something in his gut told him that he was going to hate what she had in mind. "Shopping spree!"
James groaned, but nodded anyway. This new feeling known as love was starting to become a pain in the ass for him. Had Fiona been Jennifer he would have brought up a time that she got drunk and ended up with some random guy for leverage and things would resume as normal. But no. For some reason, for some reason he could not fathom, the sheer thought of hurting Fiona nearly killed him.
"Hello? Mr. Nichols? Are you in there? You owe me a shopping spree." Fiona said. "And don't make me have to call your dad. I'm sure he would agree with me."
True, James thought.
"Alright Fi, let's go meet up with Declan." Fiona smiled at his obvious submission. "But when we get home, you're cooking by yourself."
Fiona gaped. "What? That's not fair!"
"Yes it is." James said. "Because it's Saturday and you're still dating Bobby. So if we are dating and what I did is considered cheating, then you're doing much, much worse."
Fiona, mortified, attempted at a response.
"I- You- He- Ugh!" James smiled. He had once again regained his pride. "Whatever Jaime. Just remember who will be sleeping on the couch!"
"You'll be right there beside me." James said.
"Really?" Fiona asked, her arms crossed.
"Yes." James said as he closed the gap between them. "Because you can't resist me."
A smile played on Fiona's lips. "True… But, I can suffice at least one night without you."
"That was last night, remember?" James felt Fiona's breath on his lips and smiled. She had forgiven him.
"Now," Fiona said before grabbing his hand. "Let's go."
James only smiled as she pulled him to the door. Once she reached to open the door, he spun her around. He could see how badly he startled her, but that did not stop him from kissing her. One innocent kiss, he thought. But she quickly deepened the kiss before the two separated, his forehead resting against hers.
"I'm sorry." James muttered.
Fiona nodded, her eyes locking with his. James's hands went from her waist to the door to open it. Once the door was opened, the pair was met by three women who went to their school; Emma, Liberty, and Manny.
"Um…" James felt really uncomfortable now as no one said a thing.
"You guys heading out?" questioned Emma.
"Yeah… We're meeting up with Declan soon." James answered as his eyes temporarily met with Manny's.
"Have fun." Manny said with a smile.
"Right mate," James stated before he felt Fiona's hand entangle with his. He felt her tug a bit, leading him through the group at the door. "See you later."
Due to his close proximity to Fiona, it was hard to see their hands mingled, though he was certain that they saw it. James did not care, at least not now. He would have a long talk with Fiona when they got home about what Manny had proclaimed at the end of their session last night.
"We have to hurry up to meet up with Declan." Fiona said to James.
"Sure Fi." James said with a grin.
As the two neared the elevator, James realized that her grip on his hand only seemed to tighten the farther they moved away from his room.
"Are you okay bird?" he asked his roommate/ lover.
Fiona smiled as pressed the button for the elevator.
"You said you loved me!" she giggled.
James frowned. This was just like before they left and he complimented her dress. Did one simple act really elicit this much happiness from her? If he told her that he loved her on a daily basis, would she be constantly happy? Seriously, he was doing so because it would lessen her hatred for his actions, he did not know it would bring about this…
Right before the elevator doors opened, James saw something in Fiona's eyes that slightly startled him. Those flames that he had grown to know. Manny was a minx in bed. Fiona… Fiona was a tiger. While she could be gentle, when she wanted control there was really nothing James could do but go along with her. And right now, her eyes were telling him that she wanted control at this very second.
Fiona pulled James into the elevator before pressing the button to close the doors.
"Fi, I really don't think we should be doing this now bird." Fiona only smiled at James's words, obviously not caring if he objected or not. "Bobby might catch you."
That quenched the flames pretty quickly as Fiona's eyes lit in realization.
"I have to break up with him soon." James smiled at her statement before giving her a small kiss.
"I'm not going anywhere." he told her.
Fiona smiled. "You can't. I know where you live."
James laughed with Fiona, though his heart was still pounding from earlier. He had admitted that he loved Fiona. He was questioning just how much of that statement was true. Love was new to him, as he expected was for Fiona, so this was strange. And James hated things being foreign to him. He either learned what it was or chose to get around the subject.
The two left the elevator and Fiona called her brother to place a rendezvous point. After the place and time was set, they set off to meet Declan and were both surprised when he was there with Jane.
"Well… This is unexpected mate." James said. "What happen to your no-daylight rule?"
Jane gave Declan a look that showed her shock as to how James knew such a secretive thing, but did not say anything at all.
"Spinner's gone out with Jimmy, Marco, and Craig and Tinsley's out with Trish. So we're fine." Declan said before giving James a small smirk. "Besides, maybe you should use that rule as well. Bobby might think something was going on between you two…"
Fiona scoffed. "Seriously Declan, don't compare me and Jaime to you and Jane."
"Right. How different you two must be." Declan said. "So where are we going?"
"Well, after losing a terrible card game," Fiona stated with a smile. "Jaime here owes me a shopping spree." Declan's eyebrows rose as he looked at James's face. "If he would've won, we could've gone to the nearest sports bar but since he didn't…"
"Shopping…?" Jane stated. "I don't normally do…"
Jane stopped due to the creasing of Fiona's brows.
"Let's get going." Declan said. "By the way, nice going Jaime."
"Shut up…" James muttered seeing the smirk on both Coynes' faces.
They never looked so alike until this very dreaded moment.
The Forum Shops at the Caesars Palace was pretty big and crowded. In fact, James groaned at the thought that Fiona would drag him from one shop to another and so on and so forth until every square inch of the building had been looked at.
"Hmm… Where to start…?" Fiona began. James stuffed his hands in his pockets, hating the sound of her voice. This was going to be a long day. "What do you think Jane?"
"I don't know…" worst of all, during the drive there, Jane has slowly gone from not wanting to shop to a devotee of the idea. So now Declan was just as miserable at James was.
"Come on. Let's look around." Fiona said.
The two males were completely powerless at this point. They knew that Fiona loved to shop more than anything else in the world. Their only chance of survival is that somehow, someway, Fiona grew tired of walking around in one of the most talked about shopping centers in the states and wants to go somewhere else.
Though, they would have a better chance of a meteor falling on them.
"Spiral escalators?" questioned Jane.
James glanced at Jane before realizing that she, unlike himself and the Coynes, had probably never heard or seen of this before. He then brushed aside the thoughts as Fiona obviously had an idea. Grabbing Jane's hand she began walking off.
"Where are you going?" Declan asked.
"I'll call to meet up later! Go do guy things!" Fiona retorted as she dragged Jane away.
"Well mate, just you and I." James said. "This is not how I planned this day to go."
"Victoria's Secret." Declan announced. James gave Declan a frown. "That's where she's going."
James smirked. "What? You want to go see what they picked out?"
"Don't give me images of my sister, okay?" James laughed but nodded anyway. "Alright. Let's go see what they're up to." James only gave a small shrug as he left with Declan. "Just how did my sister fall for the National?"
"I ask myself that very same question…" replied James. "It's not like you and Jane at all mate."
Declan's eyebrows rose. "Really? I'd assume the son of a senator who is sleeping with a woman spoken for could actually be compared to the son of an ambassador doing the same thing."
"I did too until we did that." James said. "And while you've given me this agonizing image of you having your way with Jane and vice versa, Fiona is…"
"Stop right there." Declan said.
"She's…" James continued. "Hell, she's a Coyne. Always gets what she wants no matter what I say."
"That's a resentful remark." Declan stated.
"Sue me mate." James replied.
The two continued to wander around the large shopping center until they came across a very interesting sight. Coming out of Planet Hollywood was a very happy pair known as Bobby Beckonridge and Tinsley Wharton. The two seemed to be so caught up in each other that they did not see James and Declan stop and stare as Tinsley leaned up to kiss Bobby.
"That bastard…" James heard Declan say before the male Coyne began to make his way to the duo.
Curious as to how Declan would act, James followed his friend, his hands in his pockets.
"So this is what you're doing behind Fi's back." It was humorous to James to see Bobby staring aat Declan like a deer caught in headlights.
"Shit, Declan I-"
"What the hell is this?" Declan asked, his eyes going from Bobby to Tinsley and then back at Bobby. "How long has this even been going on?"
"Declan, we-"
"Answer me." Declan interrupted Tinsley.
As James watched the unsurprising event unfold, he mentally laughed at the irony. Fiona's boyfriend and the girl Declan was most likely to date until Jane broke it off with Spinner are here, in the shopping center, where Declan and Fiona are doing the exact same thing. Cheating. He figured that Fiona was right to a degree. Maybe Declan was her other half?
"You find something funny?" Bobby asked James.
"Yes." James answered. He had been itching for a legit reason to give Bobby exactly what the jerk has been asking for, but Fiona made him promise that he wouldn't. Still, she could not possibly get mad if it was in self-defense, right?
"Don't you go running off to Fiona and telling her either." Bobby said.
"Or what?" challenged James, his hands slowly slipping from his pockets.
The two glared at one another before James felt Declan pull him back.
"Forget it." Declan said before eying Bobby. "Stay away from my sister."
"And what are you going to do Coyne?" Bobby stated. "How about, you both just go run along and-"
"Like hell I will." James said stepping back towards Bobby. "I want you to do to me what you did to her mate… Go ahead. Hit me."
The two stood face to face before Tinsley took Bobby's hand.
"Let's get out of here." she said.
"Stay away from Fiona." Bobby said.
"Good luck with that." James retorted as Bobby walked away with Tinsley. "Bastard…"
"What was so funny?" Declan questioned to his friend.
James, despite himself, let out a small burst of laughter as his mind replayed the joke.
"Think about this one mate." James said. "You and your sister, here with Tinsley and Bobby, while creeping with Jane and me, and all of us just end up going to the mall together? All that's missing is Spinner really."
Smirking, Declan turned around. "I fail to see the humor there."
Declan paused in mid-step once his cell phone rang. He retrieved it from his pocket and answered it.
"Yeah Fi…" James idly wondered what the Coyne Princess had cooked up. "Alright, we'll meet you there. Bye." Declan looked at James. "They want us to meet them at The Cheesecake Factory."
"I knew it…" James mumbled.
"You knew what?" Declan asked.
"When I lost that bet, Fiona stated that I owed her a shopping spree." James said. "So while she's been off spending her money on whatever…"
Declan then nodded. "I feel sorry for you. Then again, not really. It's you that's stuck here walking around with Fiona. Not me."
"…Yankee…" James muttered.
"Nationals… You know, like your home team, if you'd win once in a while we wouldn't be here." Declan stated.
"That was cold mate." James said. While he was not a huge baseball fan, he stuck with his hometown through and through, except for his favoritism of the Baltimore Ravens over the Washington Redskins.
Declan shrugged. "Yet true."
James did not respond to the statement. He and Declan did this kind of thing all the time with Fiona normally the referee of said statements. She ruled out what was "too mean" to say. Of course, between the two young men, nothing was really off-limits to them.
When the two finally made it to the front of The Cheesecake Factory, they saw Fiona and Jane waiting with bags beside each of them.
"About time." Fiona said.
James blinked. "How in the hell did you get that much in so little time?"
Fiona winked. "Secret." Fiona's playful attitude slowly vanished as she noticed her brother's and his friend's small frown. "Hey, what's with you two?"
James and Declan exchanged glances. Both men wanted to tell Fiona about Bobby and Tinsley, but knowing how Fiona would react, telling her in a mall was not the best idea.
"What's in the bags?" Declan asked, more towards Jane than Fiona for obvious reasons.
"None of your business." Fiona said. "So… Cheesecake?"
"You two go ahead," Declan said. "I'm going to take Jane back to the hotel room to get a better view of whatever it is that she bought."
"I can't. Terri and Rick are in my room." Jane said. "Sorry."
"Who says we have to go to your room?" Declan replied. "There's my room… Or we could get an entirely different room in another hotel."
"Mate, you really have to cool down before something bad happens. You're almost as bad as your sister." stated James, unaware of the small blush on Fiona's cheeks.
"We really need to work on what you can and can't say in public." Fiona muttered beneath her breath.
James only shrugged. "It is what it is." Before anyone could say anything else, James's cell phone rang. "Yeah mate."
"Dude, you are missing the wildest pool party ever." James's eyebrows rose at Peter's accusations. "To be honest, I never even imagined Paige in a bathing suit until now. Though it leaves little for the imagination if you know what I'm saying."
"Mate, where's Mia at?" questioned James.
"Somewhere around here. She's calling to check in on Bella." Peter answered. "Where are you at?"
"Uh, with the Coynes." James said. "We'll be there soon mate. Just don't do anything I wouldn't."
"Wow thanks. With your luck I might end up with Paige for today." Peter said. "Though I doubt Manny would give me the time of day anymore…"
"Your fault mate. Look, I got to go. Fi's getting impatient and we both know how that can turn out. You've seen her drag me out of bed before." James heard Peter laugh.
"Yeah, good luck with that."
"Bye." James said hanging up before addressing the others. "Peter. They're having a pool party."
James saw Fiona and Jane exchange a smile. His eyes then turned towards Declan who gave him a small nod. So they went shopping for bathing suits… Tempting…
"Cheesecake." Fiona said breaking James's thoughts. "Come on, you can treat me here and maybe some jewelry."
"Fi…" James groaned.
"No buts. You slipped up… And lost the bet." James nodded at the near slip that Fiona almost said. He looked at Declan's smirking face, knowing that her brother had no clue on what really went down. "So, while they can go, you and I are here for at least another two hours. Then we're going to see the when's the next Criss Angel show. And then, if they're still there, we'll be at the pool party. Got it?"
"You sound a helluva like Heather Sinclair. Bossy." James responded. "But I got it."
Fiona smiled. "Now, let's go." Fiona gave Jane a small smile. "See you later."
"I bet you will." Jane said before picking up three bags. "Let's go Declan."
Declan frowned. "Since when have you been the one to boss me around?"
"You want to see what I got, right?" James laughed at his friend's defeated face. Declan gave James a glare before following Jane away.
"Well, we're alone." James now looked at Fiona. "So what's got you and Dex all annoyed. I know it's not each other."
James sighed. "Let's go see if they have a table open, alright? I'll tell you there."
Fiona nodded. He figured she was pretty annoyed about him being the bearer of bad news for today, so he decided to lesson her anger for the moment with the use of a cheesecake of her choice. From experience he knew the powers of what something sweet had on Fiona. She was in her own little world when she had something sweet to eat.
After a moment or two, the two were sitting at a table, Fiona enjoying a slice of Hershey's Chocolate Cheesecake. James smiled a bit as he watched her eat happily. She could be so childish sometimes, but not in an annoying way.
"So," Fiona said. "What is it?"
James sighed. "You know how you have your assumptions that Bobby's cheating on you with Tinsley?" Fiona nodded. "We just saw them earlier. Declan was pissed, as you probably could have guessed, but-"
"I know." James frowned. She knew? "Jane and I passed them when we were heading to…" James cocked a brow, waiting on her to finish that statement. "Where we went."
"Nice cover bird." James said with a grin.
"So is that it?" Fiona asked. "You haven't done anything else that could ruin this day, have you?" James shook his head. "Then we're fine. I'll talk to Bobby later on today. As for you, keep it in your pants unless I take it out."
James laughed. "Sure bird. Whatever you say."
As the two continued their chat, they were unaware of prying eyes watching them. They were too caught up with their laughing and chaste kisses to even notice.
