A/N: Ok so I know a lot of people are reading this so follow and review! Please check out other fanfics and give me ideas for this one!
Lucy
I have been sitting at the pool for a half hour and James isn't there. Nobody is. I take out my phone and text James.
Where r u? I have been waiting for half hour.
I send the text and continue to wait. Soon James walks into the pool area is jeans and a black v-neck and he does not look exactly happy to be here.
"Hey, there you are."
"Yeah. Here I am." He replies coolly.
"Uh ok so for your birthday I got you this." I smile and pull out a bag from behind the plants.
"Why did you get me something?" he asks.
"Because we're friends and friends get friends birthday presents." I respond. What is with James being so nasty? We agreed to be friends.
"Whatever." He mutters and opens the gift. He pulls out a purple stuffed teddy bear.
"I made it at build a bear workshop. I was able to get it to sing your songs and say happy 18th birthday."
"Thanks Lucy. Really." He says and for a moment I see the James I fell in love with before the mask is back on his face.
"Ok James what's going on? And don't say something isn't going on because something is and I'm not stupid." I demand. We both go and sit on lounge chairs next to each other and only apart by a few inches.
"You want to know what's wrong? You swifted me and then kissed another guy." He says and sits up on the lounge chair.
"Swifted you? I didn't even write the song!" I exclaim.
"Uh yeah you did! You said so in Cosmo."
"That was scripted for me to say and what influenced you to read Cosmo!" I ask.
"Well the article was about you and the cover made you look hot." He tells me.
"So I wasn't hot before?" I question and raise my eyebrows.
"No I didn't mean it like that." He babbles.
"Oh so what did you mean?"
"Look if you didn't swift me you still kissed Dak." He says and lies back onto the lounge chair and looks up at the stars. I do the same on my lounge chair.
"James I am single. I can kiss other guys. I mean I don't want to but I can." I tell him.
"You don't want to kiss other guys?" he questions and turns his head to look at me.
"No. I didn't even know Dak was gonna kiss me. He just planted one on me." I answer. "Besides why do you care who I kiss?"
"I just don't want to see you get hurt like with what happened with Beau or-."
"You." I finish my sentence and look at him. He looks at me sadly. "So you get any girls number yet?"
"Nah. I don't really do that stuff anymore." He responds.
"Really? James Diamond the player has stopped get phone numbers." I teased.
"I don't feel the need to be flirting with girls." He simply states.
I scoff at that.
"I'm surprised you're not scouting Hollywood for new guys to date."
I turn my head to look at him again. "As I said before I don't want to go kissing other guys."
"Other guys? You mean you only want to be kissing one guy? As in me?" he inquires.
"Do you want the truth?"
"I would like the truth." He says.
I sigh and look back at the stars. "Honestly when we broke up I thought that I would meet another guy that when I kissed him my feet would be stuck to the ground and there will be butterflies in my stomach and I would just want to stand there forever in that guy's arms. I thought any guy you kiss felt like that because that happened with Beau and you. But when Dak kissed me it felt, it felt bland and fake and forced. But even when I kissed Beau I didn't get that feeling I got when I kissed you. That foot stuck, butterfly stomach feeling, just wanting to stay there forever. I miss that feeling and I miss you. I miss being in your arms, I miss your hugs, I miss your kisses and I miss the pet names you had for me. I feel like such a dick for letting us break up. I act like some rocker chick to hide my feelings and how much I hurt and how much I care. I was my true self with you. I hate keeping up this rocker act with you and I hate us acting like friends because when we act like friends I have to keep my rocker chick act up and you have to keep whatever act you have up! I hate this and I hate not being with you." I stop when I feel a tear fall down my check and realize I had been ranting and babbling. "I-I'm sorry um I didn't mean rant and babble about nonsense. I just haven't slept for awhile and it was a long day and I'm sorry I didn't mean any of th-." I am then cut off from my new rant by James's lips. He's kissing me. I respond eagerly my lips moving with his in perfect sync. I wrap my arms around his neck. I feel my feet not able to move and my stomach is literally butterfly central. Finally after a good 5 minutes of making out he pulls away.
I take a breath and turn a look at him. "Wow."
"Now will you let me talk for a minute?" he jokes and gives me that James Diamond smile I love.
I nod and smile.
"I honestly hated not being with you. I missed you in my arms, hugging you and kissing you. I thought you were happy with us just being friends. When I saw that kiss I felt my heart crash into my chest. I was so jealous that Dak Zevon got to kiss you and not me. I also thought you got over me. Obviously I was wrong." He says and smiles at me. "And honestly your kiss is different from every other girl I have kissed. You kisses make my heart beat a mile and minute and make me stuck to my spot. Honestly every time I asked you out I was so nervous but I acted like I wasn't but I was sweating so much every time. I love you Lucy. I never stopped loving you." James finishes his little speech.
I smile and feel another tear slip down my face.
"Lucy what's wrong? Why are you crying?" James asks. He sits up and swings his legs over to face me.
"I love you too. I never stopped loving you either." I say. "I don't wanna be this rock star chick who kisses and dates all these famous people when the one person I want to be kissing and dating is off touring the world and being single or dating some blonde."
"So if I go kiss or date other girls you'll be jealous? Lucy Stone jealous?" he confirms.
"Uh yeah and if I was kissing other guys you would be jealous. You admitted it before with my kiss with Dak." I counter.
"I have a compromise for you then. You don't kiss any guys and I don't kiss any girls." He starts.
"That means I'll be alone forever."
"Let me finish. You won't kiss any guys. I won't kiss any girls. I will only kiss you if you only kiss me." He finishes.
"Like being girlfriend and boyfriend again?" I ask trying to play it cool.
"If you want us to."
I smile and kiss him. He pulls me on top of him and wraps his arms around my waist tightly. I don't know how long we stayed like that just me laying on top of him with us kissing.
"Hey yo James! We're happy that you got back together with Lucy and love sucking her face but its 12 in the morning and my Mom said if you don't walk Lucy back to her apartment and get home in 10 minutes your screwed because she doesn't want you to and quote 'make a mistake you will regret later on'." Kendall yells from the boys' apartment.
I laugh and get off of James. "Let's go before Mrs. Knight sends out some black ops."
He laughs and puts his arm around my shoulders. We walk back to my apartment.
"Good night James." I say and smile.
"Good night Lucy. Thanks for the teddy bear and kisses." He grins. He leans in and I kiss him one more time before he waves and goes down the hall to his apartment as I go into mine. Best day ever.
James
Best Birthday I have ever had. I go into my room and climb under the covers with the teddy bear Lucy got for me. It smells like her. Best Birthday.
