Stella:
The drive was rather uneventful, I realized on this trip that driving behind Scarlet while she drives Beast absolutely gives me a heart attack although it is still rather hilarious. I assume that she was really getting into her music given that she was swinging her legs like she was swinging on a swing at the park, and at the few lights that we had to stop for she was bouncing up and down on her bike as if she was on a trampoline. All together it was funny, but I found myself more worried that she was going to fall off of her bike or not be paying enough attention to Jace in front of her and run into his truck.
About 45 minutes into the drive Jace pulled us all over at a Denny's and insisted that we all eat to keep up our energy...However, secretly, I think that he just wanted to hold Scarlet's hand and make sure that she is doing alright. I was tempted to tell him if you could see what I was seeing as we were driving, he wouldn't be so worried about her being alright. James was even so bold as to pay for my breakfast, I was so shocked I thought I may just faint. He was even so sweet as to make sure to slip me his phone number on a napkin...I honestly cannot believe that there is actually someone out there so perfect for me. He has this one smile...I'll call it his crooked smile, its where he looks at you out of the corner of his eye and smiles slightly as though he is trying to keep from smiling all at once. Every time that I see his crooked smile it makes my heart skip a beat and I go weak in the knees. I have never felt this way about anyone in my life ever. I just hope that I am not completely reading his body language wrong....
When we finally make it to our apartment James jumps out of Jace's truck and runs over to my car to open the door for me. 'Wow I've never actually experienced this before. I feel spoiled already!'
"Well thank you sir." I wink at him playfully as I step out of Mr. Lemon.
"Oh no need to thank me I can pretty much guarantee that my intentions are purely un-pure." he gives me his crooked grin and I have to grip the door to my car because I can feel my knees going weak. I look at him and give a small giggle because I have been having rather dirty thoughts about him.
"Is that so? I mean don't let me get in your way or stop you by any means. I rather enjoy impure events...take that however you like." With a little grin I close the door to my car and purposefully make sure to brush my breasts against his arm just before I head over to Jace's truck to begin unloading my things.
With 5 of us unloading and carrying everything upstairs we manage to finish unloading Jace's truck and trailer in a little over an hour. I absolutely love how Scarlet has set up our place! I love the placement of everything including the way she has things organized in my room. "Girl, I fucking love it! I love you so much, you know me so well! This is exactly how I would have chosen to do everything, had I been the one to do it!" I give her a huge bear hug. I am so excited that this is finally happening I have a place where I live with my best friend, we are going to school together AND she knows me so well!
"Oh, good I am so relieved. I was so worried I made it too much like....me." She laughs nervously. She looks almost bashful at my comment of praise. Before I can tease her about being too shy Jace comes over and kisses her gingerly on the lips, "I'm sorry to do this lady's but I have to get Jovanni back to his mom's house because he has to work and James needs to get his car, it turns out that he has a rather hot date tonight that he doesn't want to be late for." Jace looks at me with a teasing look.
"Well hop to it I don't want him to be late to our hot date either." I say this with a teasing tone.
"Got it. Yes ma'am." He salutes me. 'Wow he is such a dork no wonder Scar has fallen so hard for him.'
"Is it already that time? I suppose that also means that it is time for you to go to work. Do you have to go? I'll miss you too much." Scarlet looks so sad it almost makes me sad also.
"Unfortunately, so Angel. I'll be gone just a few short hours, then I'll be on my way here as quickly as I most possibly can. I promise Angel." He kisses her and hugs her tightly. "I miss you already Angel. I'll be back before you know it." And just like that they are gone, and Scarlet and I are left here alone. With everyone gone it is just too quiet in here.
I go to the tv and turn on some dance music to really get us pumped up and we spend the next several hours unpacking all of my things. We put everything in just the right place and carry on like this until by some miracle we have managed to empty all of my boxes, and everything is put away. "Well, you and Jace are a really cute couple." I say this with maybe a little too much excitement.
"Oh, ummmm, ya I guess so.... He makes me so happy Ella. Like I have never felt so happy and so safe around anyone ever. Speaking on cute! You and James! that is like a match made in heaven." She looks at me with these big goo goo eyes and I feel myself begin to blush all over again.
"Eeeeekkkk right! I'm so excited and nervous for our date. I don't know what to wear. Hell, I don't even know where he is taking me!" I practically collapse on my bed in exasperation. Scarlet runs out of my room,
"I've got the perfect dress! I actually got us matching dresses. Its gonna drive James absolutely crazy." I walk into Scarlet's room just as she is coming out of her closet holding the most perfect dress, I think I may have ever seen.
"Oh shit! I have the perfect shoes to go with this dress!" I run to my room and grab my shoes. I need to make sure the blues match. When I place my galaxy blue shoes next to the dress, I am so happy that I can't stop myself, I jump up and down clapping my hands in pure joy.
"I have an idea for what I can do with your hair too. It will be so beautiful on you!" Scarlet is looking at me as if she can already picture me ready to go for my date. 'How did I get so lucky to have such an amazing friend?'
"I'm gonna go shower really fast and then we can get me ready! You're the best! Wait.... are you gonna be ok being alone tonight?" U ask worried to leave her alone. She smiles at me and shoos me out of her room.
"I'll be just fine. I'll probably just watch House, or Big Hero 6 till I crash." She smiles again and motions for me to get going.
While I am showering, I make sure to shave everywhere. You can never be too sure what will happen after a hot date so you must be prepared for anything and everything. 'Will he kiss me? Will he want to stay over with me tonight?' I begin to play the what if game as I begin to grow anxious for our date.
