Enjoy!

I always seemed to have an issue with my weight. Sometimes I would love myself and other times when I looked into the mirror I hated myself. I would do those fast work out programs and diets but nothing really worked. Lucky enough for me I had an amazing boyfriend who supported me. James loved me for who I was and wanted me to be happy no matter what. I was sitting on the bathroom floor looking into the mirror as I curled my hair. I heard James come up the stairs. He leaned against the bathroom door as he watched me curl my hair.

“You are beautiful as is” he whispered.

“Thank you, just wanted to do something different” I said.

“No matter what you are beautiful to me” he said.

“James” I said as I started to blush.

“Its true” he smiled.

I finally finshed my hair and got up from the bathroom floor. I got dressed even though we didn’t have any plans for today, I just wanted to look cute. I went downstairs and sat at the kitchen table, turning my laptop on. James came downstairs and walked into the kitchen, he started to make breakfast. I was just messing around on my laptop just killing time. Before I knew it, he placed the plate down in front of me as well as sit him down on the table. He made sure everything was turned off before coming to sit next to me. We sat in silence as we both started to eat, of course it was delicious. We heard a knock at the door, he got up kissing my cheek before walking to the door. It was Brad standing there as James opened the door, James invited him in. He walked into the kitchen, sitting at the table, James had more than enough food. James offered Brad a plate and once again the conversation fell silent.

“What are you guys doing today?” Brad asked.

“Just hanging around the house, ” James responded.

“Yeah​ just relaxing with each other” I nodded slightly.

“Oh cool, we are getting together later to watch a movie in my backyard, you guys can come too” Brad mentioned.

“We will talk about it” James nodded.

Soon Brad left our apartment, I knew James would want to go tonight. I never had trouble with any of the boys, but I did hear a few comments from time to time. Of course I was used to it, but I still didn’t want to deal with it, I just hated how other people saw me. I agreed to go over to Brad’s place tonight, just to do something different. I put on a sweatshirt, pulling my hair back in a high pony tail. Since it was outside I wanted to be warm, I slipped on my shoes before returning back downstairs.

“Are you sure you want to go?” He asked.

“Yeah, ” I nodded.

“What’s wrong?” he grabbed my hand.

“Its just ive heard them make small comments before” I sighed.

“Comments on what?” he questioned.

“My weight” I looked down.

“Babe, you are beautiful the way you are, ” he kissed my cheek. “I’ll talk to them, ” he tilted my chin up.

“I don’t want to cause any issues between you guys” I said.

“But they aren’t going to make my girlfriend feel bad about herself either” he said.

We left our apartment when the sun started to set. We made it to Brad’s house pretty quickly since he didn’t live that far away from us. I started to get nervous as I knew James would say something. I hated conflict, but he was right, I shouldn’t be made to feel bad about myself. I sat down on the patio as we waited for Tristan and Conner to arrive.

“I have an issue with you guys, and we will have a conversation when they get here” James crossed his arms.

“What’s the issue?” Brad asked.

“You will find out soon enough, ” James said.

“It sounds serious” Brad took his seat as the other boys came in.

“Since everyone is here now! You all need to apologize to y/n for the comments you guys made about her weight” James said.

“What are you talking about?” Tristan asked.

“She over heard some comments that you guys made about her” James started to get angry.

“Oh about her jean size, America sizes are so different. We didn’t mean any harm” Conner said.

“It’s ok, I understand now, ” I said as I walked towards them.

“No harm, just trying to figure out the size difference, we are sorry” Brad said.

“It’s ok, ” I nodded.

“Thank you” James said as he wrapped his arm around me.

Since James cleared the air things went back to normal. I didn’t have to feel uncomfortable around them and I started to actually have fun hanging out with them. We stayed in Brad’s back yard and watched the movie, of course he had something up his sleeve. Brad went into the house, bringing out a bucket of water balloons. He started throwing them at us and we returned the favor, it was full of water and laughter. James and I returned back to our apartment soaking wet. I was freezing, so I ran upstairs turning the shower on, stripping my wet clothes off of me. I got into the shower allowing the hot water to warm me up. James wasn’t too far behind as he stripped at the door getting in the shower with me. He washed over my body and I returned the favor washing his body. I got out of the shower wrapping a towel around me before walking into the bedroom. I was dressed by the time James got out of the shower, he just pulled on his boxers. I laid back against the bed as I stared to relax, he sat down on the edge of the bed. Placing his hand onto my leg as I turned my attention onto him. He moved up my body leaning down slightly kissing my lips softly.

“I love you” he said against my lips.

“I love you” I smiled agaisnt his.

He laid next to me placing his arm around me. I turned so I was on my back, playing with his hand. We both started to drift off to sleep and I stayed in his arms all night. I felt him get up in the morning but I didnt want to wake up. I turned back over snuggling into the covers as I fell back to sleep. I heard him come upstairs as I finally started to wake up. I sat up in the bed as he placed the tray on my lap, full of food.

“Thank you baby” I said.

“Always want to see that smile” he kissed me softly.

We ate breakfast in bed, as soon as we finished he cleaned up. I got ready for the day since I had to go to work, he also had to go to work. We both left the apartment around the same time. We parted ways as our busy schedule started, I had many meetings to go to. I rarely stayed in my office that day, I was either in one meeting room or the other. I was glad to finally get home but James wasn’t home yet, I texted him a few times but no response. I laid back on the couch putting my feet up on the table. I flipped through channels as I couldn’t find anything to watch. He finally entered the house and I could tell something was going on.

“Where have you been?” I asked.

“Just put your shoes on and come with me” he reached for my hand.

I didn’t ask any questions and just grabbed his hand. I followed him over to Brad’s house and through Brad’s house. We finally made it to the back yard, it was decorated very nicely. It was an anniversary surprise that James had sit up for us, it was 6 years together. I smiled at him, pulling him close to me as I hugged him. I couldn’t believe he actually remembered, most of the time we never celebrated our anniversary. He pulled out the chair for me as I took my seat he sat down across from me. Grabbing my hand over the table as we looked into each others eyes. Brad came out in a waiter’s outfit and gave us our first dish.

“This is amazing” I smiled.

“Happy anniversary, baby” James said.

The night went on perfectly, there were three courses. Brad finally brought out dessert, my favorite of course, but something caught my eye. I pulled out a ring from the whip cream and looked at James. He smiled as I found the ring, getting up from his seat. He moved in front of me getting down on one knee, taking the ring from me.

“Somehow when I wasn’t looking for love, you came into my life and opened my heart. You also stole it as well, I loved you the first day I meet you and I’m still madly in love with you” he held out the ring. “Will you marry me?” he asked.

I nodded my head yes as he slipped the ring on me. He stood up helping me up from my chair, hugging me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kept him close to me. Every since I have met James my world has been turned upside down. I never believed in love before I meet him, he also opened my heart up to love. He was my best friend, lover and my protector, everything I could ever want in a husband. I couldn’t believe that I was going to actually marry the one who stole my heart for the very first time. My heart was full of love and I couldn’t be any happier then what I was.

Pairing: James + Britney
Enjoy!

It was just another Monday morning, where she didn’t want to get out of bed. She hit her snooze button way too many times that now it won’t turn off. She signed and finally got out of bed, of course, she was going to be late. She made her way to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Getting dressed for the day, pulling her hair up in a messy bun. Making her way downstairs grabbing her bag and slipping on her shoes. Making her way out of the apartment and into her car. She drove to her favorite cafe but the drive-through line was insane. She parked her car and went inside, ordering her drink. Leaning against the counter as she checked her phone. Her order was up so she grabbed her coffee and started to head out the door. She was still looking down at her phone when she bumped into someone. 

“Sorry,” he said. 

“Watch it,” she said. 

“Says the person on the phone,” he said. 

“What?” she said as she looked up at him. 

“You are the one not watching where you are going,” he said. 

“It’s never been a problem before,” she said. 

“Guess today it is,” he said as he walked away from her. 

“Jerk,” She said as she left the cafe. 

She made her way back to her car and pulled off. She finally pulled into her job and made her way inside. Checking in before making her way to her office. Sitting at her desk drinking her coffee as she checked emails. For some reason, she couldn’t get him off her mind. 

“We have a meeting. Something about a new CO” Sarah said as she walked into Britney’s office. 

“A new CO?” Britney asked. 

“Yea some new fancy guy or whatever,” Sarah said. 

“I’ll be there shortly,” Britney said as she finished her coffee. 

She threw her coffee into the trashcan and made her way to the meeting room. She saw him sitting at the head of the table. She rolled her eyes and took a seat as the meeting started. He was going to be the new CO, basically Britney’s new boss. As the meeting came to an end, she was asked to show him around. 

“Look who it is,” he smirked as he leaned against the table.

“What is your name?” Britney asked. 

“Mr. Jerk to you” He smiled. “It’s James,” he said.

“James this way,” she said. 

“What is your name?” he questioned as he followed her. 

“I’m Britney,” she said. 

She finished showing him around the office and then she went back to her desk. She started working on the things she needed to get done. Of course, he would hover over her because he had nothing better to do. She worked through lunch so she could leave early. After her last client, she turned off her lights and shut down the computer. Closing the door behind her as she started to leave the office. 

“Leaving already?” James asked. 

“Yes, I’m done with my task list for today,” She said. 

“Have dinner with me,” he said. 

“Why?” She looked at him. 

“Think we got off to a rough start,” He said. 

“Yes we did but we don’t have to do dinner. We can just be coworkers” she said. 

“Please, just let me take you out to dinner,” he said. 

“Tonight?” she questioned. 

“Yes right now, I’ll grab my jacket,” he said. 

“Alright” she nodded softly. 

He came back with his jacket and held the door open for her. She walked out of the office and he led her to his car. She wanted to drive herself to wherever they were going. She followed him downtown to the restaurant that he wanted to go to. Once she parked the car he came over and opened the door for her. Putting his hand out to help her out, she grabbed it and got out of the car. He got them a booth for two. She sat across from him and looked through the menu. She had never been here before so she didn’t know what to get. 

“What is good here?” she asked. 

“The shrimp pasta is good, so is the chicken,” he said. 

“They have lobster,” she said.

“Get whatever you want,” he said. 

“That’s expensive plus I don’t like lobster,” she said. 

“Still get whatever you want,” he nodded.

The waiter came over and he ordered them drinks and asked for a few more moments. Once the drinks arrived at the table they both ordered what they wanted. He picked up his glass and leaned it towards hers. She picked up hers and placed hers against his glass. 

“To new beginnings,” he said. 

“To new beginnings,” she said as she took a sip. 

“Do you like it?” He asked. 

“It’s amazing, what is it?” she questioned. 

“It’s Camymus,” he said. 

“It’s really good,” she said. “Can I ask you a question?” she looked at him.

“Sure,” he said. 

“Why did you want to become a CO?” she asked. 

“Guess the rich kid wanted to do something with his life,” he said. 

“I didn’t mean it in a bad way,” she said. 

“I know you didn’t, just the truth,” he said.

“I think you will like working at the office,” she said. 

“I already do,” he smiled softly. 

The food finally arrived at the table. They started to eat and talk, the drinks were flowing and they both were having a good time. Once the bill came he paid for it quickly so she did not see how much it was. He walked over to her side and put his hand out once again. She grabbed it and stood up from the table, she stumbled slightly. He placed his arm around her waist and called his driver to come to pick them up. He was slightly drunk as well and he didn’t want to risk hurting her. 

“Thanks for tonight,” she said. 

“Nope you are not driving,” He said as he took her keys out of her hand. 

“I’m fine,” she said. 

“Then stand up straight,” he said as he let her go. 

“Fine,” she said. She tried to stay standing up straight but she stumbled again and started to laugh. 

“I got you,” he said as he wrapped his arm around her waist. 

“Thank you,” she said. 

His driver pulled up and he helped her into the car. He got in with her and told the driver to take them to his place. She laid against him as they drove. She started to drift off before they got to his place. He got out of the car and gently woke her up. She got out of the car and he picked her up, taking her inside. Sitting here on the couch as he made his way into the kitchen. He grabbed her a cup of water and a few aspirins. 

“Here,” he said as he handed her the cup. 

“What is that?” she questioned. 

“Water and aspirin,” he said. 

“I can’t take those, but thanks for the water,” she said as she grabbed the cup. 

“No problem,” he spoke softly. 

“So this is your house?” she asked as she stood up. 

“Yea it is” he nodded. 

“Pretty,” she said as she started to walk around. 

He got up from the couch and followed her. Showing her around the house, making their way upstairs. She stood at the doorway of his room, he came behind her. Placing his hand against the lower part of her back. She turned to face him, he placed his hand against her hip. She rested her hand against his chest as she looked at him. He leaned against the doorframe pulling her close to him. Place his hand against her chin, tilting it up slightly as he leaned down. Kissing her softly, she grabbed his shirt and kept him close as she kept the kiss between them. He placed his hand against her neck as he slowly pulled away. 

“Let’s lay down,” he said. 

“Ok,” She nodded. 

She slipped her shoes off before laying down on his bed. He laid beside her, she moved closer and snuggled to him. He played with her hair as she laid her head down on his chest. They both drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms. He woke up around 4 am when he heard her in the bathroom. She was throwing up, he grabbed one of his shirts and made his way into the bathroom. He got a cool washcloth and placed it on the back of her neck. Moving her hair from her face as she threw up in the toilet. He grabbed a towel when she finished so she could wipe her mouth. She leaned against the wall as he stayed with her. 

“Let’s get you changed,” he said as he handed her his shirt. 

“Thanks,” She said as she took off her shirt and put his on. She also took her pants off because they had puke on them too. 

He picked her up and laid her back in the bed. He went downstairs with her clothes and put them in the washer so they would be ready in the morning. He got a bottle of water and crackers, making his way back upstairs. She was already fast asleep in the bed hugging his pillow. He smiled as he leaned against the doorframe, just watching her silently. 

“Who is that?” his maid asked. 

“Britney,” he whispered. 

“The girl you’ve been stalking?” she asked. 

“No, just the girl I’ve been dreaming of,” he said. 

“The girl from yesterday morning,” his maid said. 

“Yea the girl from the cafe,” he said. 

“Well hope she’s everything you were dreaming of,” she said as she walked off. 

He made his way into the bedroom, placing the cup of water and crackers on her side. He got into bed with her and laid with her until he fell asleep. In the morning she woke up confused because she was alone in a strange room. She sat up and realized she didn’t have her clothes on. Just panties and his tee-shirt, some of the pieces started to come together. 

“Wait I? With the boss? Oh god” she said to herself. 

“No we didn’t and good morning,” he said as he came in with breakfast. 

“What happened last night?” she questioned. 

“We had dinner, you got drunk so I brought you back to my place,” he said. 

“Did we?” she looked at him. 

“No, your clothes are in the bathroom freshly washed,” he said. 

“What happened?” she said. 

“You got sick last night so I helped you change and then you crashed,” he said. 

“Thank you,” she said. 

“Eat then shower. Then I’ll take you to get your car” he said as he kissed her forehead. 

“Ok thanks” she nodded as she started to eat, he left the room. 

She finished breakfast and made her way to the bathroom. She turned the water on and closed the door as she got undressed. She saw a basket of shower things, everything that she loved. She got into the shower and just stood under the water. She quickly washed her hair and washed off. She got out of the shower, dried herself off with a towel. She got dressed and grabbed her shoes as she made her way downstairs. 

“Ready?” he asked. 

“Yea I am” she nodded. 

“Let’s go,” he said as he stood up. 

He led her to his car and helped her into the back. His driver took them back to the restaurant so they both could get their cars. They parted ways as she drove off towards her apartment. She guessed that he went straight to the office but she needed to change. She made her way into her apartment and went to change. She left her apartment and went to get coffee before she went to the office. As she drove her memory of the night started to come back, she remembered the kiss. The throwing up and him taking care of her, she didn’t know what to do. She took a deep breath as she entered the building, she quickly made her way to her office. She went straight to work trying to get him off her mind. She didn’t realize what time it was until James knocked on her door. 

“Lunch?” he asked. 

“Oh I’m working through lunch,” she said. 

“Come on” he reached for her hand. 

“I always work through lunch,” she said. 

“Just come on,” he said. 

“Ok” she nodded as she stood up. 

She took his hand as he led her to the courtyard. He had their lunch on the table just waiting for them. She smiled as she followed him. He pulled out her chair and she nodded and took a seat. He sat down next to her and served lunch to her. They started to eat and got so lost in conversation that they didn’t realize what time it was. His phone started to go off but he turned it over and ignored it. 

“So can we talk about last night?” she asked. 

“Nothing happened, nor will I ever put you in a position like that,” he said. 

“I know that, I’m starting to remember” she looked at him. “Sorry for throwing up in your house,” she said. 

“It’s ok, it happens,” he said as he brushed the hair from her face. 

“I want to talk about the kiss,” she said. 

“What about it?” he asked as he brushed his thumb against her lips. 

“I don’t want people talking nor knowing,” she said.

“Our little secret,” he said. 

“I just don’t want people to think I’m only working here because I’m with the boss,” she said. 

“That’s fine, whatever you are comfortable with,” he said. 

“I want to take things slow, ” she said. 

“Ok at your pace” he smiled softly. 

“Thank you for taking care of me,” she said. 

“No problem,” he said as he kissed her cheek. 

“Sir your 4 o'clock is here,” his assistant said as she walked out to the courtyard.

“Is it 4?” he chuckled as he nodded to his helpers.

“I should get going,” Britney said as she left the courtyard. 

She made her way back to her office and continued with her day. She didn’t finish work until late but she finally finished. She closed her office, he grabbed her arm before she could leave. Leading her back to his office, closing the door behind them. He sat in his chair and pulled her onto his lap. She smiled and rested her hand against his chest, playing with his tie. He cupped her cheeks and kissed her softly. She kept the kiss between them as she moved closer to him. He slipped his hands up her legs, under her skirt. She squirmed at his touch at first but she didn’t want him to stop. Moving her panties to the side as he slipped his thumb against her clit. Rubbing it softly as she moaned against his lips. She jumped when she heard someone knock on his door, she got off of him and sat in the chair. He got up and left his office with whoever was at the door. She sat in his chair and looked through his computer. She saw a folder with her name on it so she clicked it. She saw videos of her just doing normal things, many pictures of her in her apartment. Her heart started to race as she continued to look through the file. She heard him coming back so she quickly closed it. 

“Want to head back to my place?” he asked.

“It’s pretty late, I should head home,” she said as she walked past him. 

“What just happened?” He asked as he grabbed her hand. 

“Nothing, just pretty tired,” she said as she pulled back. 

“You sure?” he asked.

“Yea, see you tomorrow,” she said as she left the building. 

“Britney” he yelled as she got into her car. 

She pulled off from the parking lot and pulled into an abandoned lot. She sat in her car and started crying, she was scared for her life. Was he stalking her? She overheard him talking last night to his maid but that couldn’t be true. Why did he have pictures of her and videos? She realized that their encounter at the cafe wasn’t a mistake, it was planned, him buying the company was to get close to her. She took a deep breath in before trying to start her car but it wouldn’t turn over. She saw a car coming into the abandoned lot and she just knew it was him. He came up to the car and knocked on her window. She took another deep breath in and got out of her car. 

“Are you ok?” he said as he placed his hand on her cheek. 

“Yea I’m fine,” She said as she moved from his touch. 

“Come on, I’ll take you home,” he said. 

“I’m fine, ” she said. 

“In some abandoned lot?” he questioned. 

“Why do you have videos of me?” she looked at him. 

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“On your computer?” she said. 

“You went through my computer?” he asked.

“Yea I did,” she said. 

“I had my people look into everyone at the company before buying it,” he said. 

“Oh,” she said. 

“Yes, because I didn’t want people who I don’t trust working for me,” he said. 

“I’m the only one on the computer though,” she said. 

“Haven’t gotten around to deleting the files” he said. 

“Ok,” she nodded.

“Please let me take you home?” he said. 

“I want to go home alone,” she said. 

“Fine,” he said. 

She got into his car and he took her straight to her apartment. She went inside alone and he pulled off. She made sure all her curtains were down so there was no way someone could look in. She went upstairs and laid down trying to relax. Was he telling the truth or was he just stalking her? She started to like him but now she was paranoid because she didn’t know what to expect from him. All those criminal shows started to make her mind racing a million miles an hour. She finally fell asleep in her bed. She wanted to take things really slow with him, meaning staying away from him that weekend. She would go to work early and try to avoid him as much as possible. 

“I heard about what you did,” he said as he leaned against her doorframe. 

“And what was that?” she asked. 

“Come on, you know,” he said. 

“Well it’s no secret, everyone knows,” She said. 

“Can we just talk?” he asked. 

“Sure,” she agreed. 

They left the office building and she went with him to his apartment. She made sure everyone that knew her knew where she was just in case things went wrong. All they did that night was talk and he cleared his name and proved that he was telling the truth. Of course, she would keep her guard up but maybe she could be with him. They laid under the stars and just watched the night sky. He moved closer to her and kissed her cheek softly, she turned so he kissed her. She smiled against his lips and kissed him softly. Maybe this time was different than with her last boss. She snuggled close to him resting her head against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her as they continued to watch the night sky. Was this her happy ending or would it end in tragedy?

James: Sometimes I felt that December came to fast. Then sometimes I felt it came to slow. My birthday was exactly a week before Christmas. I loved the time of the year but it could be so stressful at times. Especially since my family always wants to have separate events. One for my birthday and one for Christmas, I always told them we could just celebrate once. I was never the one that wanted to be the center of attention and that included my own birthday parties. This year they finally took my advice and we would only celebrate once. Of course, James wanted something special for my birthday even when I told him not too. “Babe?” he kissed my forehead trying to wake me up. “Uh?” I rubbed my eyes before looking at him. “Happy birthday” he pulled the roses from behind his back. “Thank you,” I said as I sat up and kissed him softly. “I have breakfast making and I have the whole day planned out,” he said. “James,” I said. “I wanted to make you feel special, trust me it’s just us,” he said. “Ok I trust you,” I said. He got off the bed and grabbed my hand. He leads me downstairs where breakfast was on the table. There were even more roses sitting in the middle of the table. I rolled my eyes as I followed him. I sat down with him and we both ate breakfast, for the rest of the day we snuggled and watched movies. Well, that was until around 5 and he wanted us to get dressed. I got dressed in a pair of my favorite jeans and a sweater. I grabbed my jacket and met him downstairs, I could see him light up when I came downstairs. We got into the car and went downtown. He pulled into an abandoned warehouse and I started to get confused. “Wear this,” he said as he handed me a blindfold. “James” I looked at him. “Please” he pouted. “Alright, I trust you,” I said as I put the blindfold on. He got out of the car and came onto my side, grabbing my hands. I held onto him as we walked into the warehouse, I could feel the cold air around me. He stood me in the middle of the warehouse and took off my blindfold. Somehow and I still don’t know how he had a full ice ring set up for us. “Wow,” I said as I looked at him. “I know you love ice skating, so I got you your own personal ring” he smiled. “I don’t know what to say honestly,” I said. “Let’s go skating” he handed me the skates. We both sat on the bench and put on the skates. I made my way over to the ring and got onto the ice. I skated a few times around, he just stood and watched me. He smiled to himself as he could see how happy I was. I stopped at the door and reached for him to join me on the ice. He goes onto the ice and skated with me. We had so much fun just skating and playing little games with each other. He got off the ice and grabbed a picnic basket and laid a blanket down. I got off the ice and sat with him. I must admit it was one of the birthdays I would never want to forget.

Connor: At the beginning of the year you always thing December is so far away. It seems right after September rolls around Christmas is right in our face. I loved the time of year because it was cold and I loved to snuggle. It also meant it was the busiest time of year. Especially for Connor he always got stressed out. I always tried to help and keep him as calm and relaxed as possible. “Babe,” I said as I came up behind him, hugging him. “What babe,” he said as he turned to face him. “Let’s have a date night,” I said. “I have so much to do babe” he pouted. “It can wait until tomorrow, come on let’s go out on the town,” I said. “Let me send this last email and then I’m all yours” he said. “Alright I’m going to hold you to that” I said. “I’ll be right with you in a few,” he said. I went and sat on the couch as I waited for him, he soon came out of the kitchen. He reached for my hand and I got up taking his hand. “Where do you want to go?” he asked. “Let’s go get lunch and just walk around” I said. “Alright babe” he kissed my forehead. We left the apartment and made our way downtown. We got something quick to eat and just walked around, just enjoying the scenery. “Hey look there’s and ice skating ring,” I said. “And we both don’t know how to skate,” he said. “First time for everything,” I said. “True, I hope you are ready to bust your ass” he chuckled slightly.  “Come on” I said as I grabbed his hand. We got our skates and went to put them on, I knew this would be a big fail. What’s life if you don’t take chances and make a fool out of yourself. I got onto the ice first and held onto the sides. He got onto the ice right behind me and held onto me. I giggled slightly because I knew I wasn’t good on ice and he was holding onto me. “If I fall your ass is going down too,” I said. “I know,” he said as he moved beside me. He started to skate away from me and I just watched him in amaze. I didn’t think he knew how to skate but he did, he made his way back over to where I was. He grabbed my hand and skated backward as I tried to get the hang of it. “You said you didn’t know how to skate,” I said “I wanted to surprise you” he winked at me. He held onto me as I started to figure out how to skate. I started to feel confident and let his hand go and started to skate on my own. I didn’t really know how to stop so skated to the wall and ended up falling on my ass. “Babe,” he said as he made his way over to me. “I didn’t know how to stop,” I said. “Come on,” he said as he helped me up. He slipped as well and we were both on the ice and we started to laugh. “We gotta get up,” he said as he got back onto his feet. I eased my way up so I wouldn’t make us both fall again. We got off the ice and took off our skates, we returned them. We continued to walk around downtown until it got dark and we went back home. I was surprised that he actually knew how to skate, but now I know how to get him out of the house.

James: We were friends before we turned it into something different. I couldn’t explain how I felt about James but I guess when you know you know. Falling for your best friend is a blessing but also it could go wrong. I didn’t know how he felt but he hid his feelings very well. We moved in together soon after we made things official but it didn’t surprise anyone. I was still unpacking things for the apartment. I rolled my eyes when he walked into the apartment, I had no clue where he had been. “Hey,” he said as he came up behind me. “What?” I asked. “What’s wrong?” he tried to wrap his arms around me but I moved. “Where have you been?” I asked. “Studio, you knew that” he leaned against the wall. “No, I didn’t, I thought you were going to help me” I crossed my arms. “I did this morning” he looked at me. “What one box?” I said. “I know this is a lot to deal with but you know my schedule,” he said. “Whatever” I rolled my eyes. “What is your problem?” he crossed his arms. “I’ve been unpacking YOUR shit all damn day,” I said. “Then don’t unpack my shit then, I can do it myself! I didn’t ask you to do it anyway” he said. “You might not have asked but I don’t want boxes EVERYWHERE!” I said. “Fine,” he said. “FINE” I yelled out as I walked away. I went upstairs and started to unpack my clothes. It was our first fight as a couple and I started to hate how we spoke to each other. I leaned against the wall as I calmed down, after thinking about it it wasn’t that big of a deal. I slide down the wall sitting on the floor, I knew we both needed to calm down. Later on, I made my way downstairs. I saw him in the kitchen unpacking the dishes, I leaned against the kitchen wall. He finally looked up at me. “Hey” he whispered. “Hey” I looked at him. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I’m sorry” I moved closer to him. “I shouldn’t have lost it like that” he grabbed my hand pulling me close to him. “I shouldn’t be so hard” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’m sorry” he brushed the hair from my face. “I love you James and I don’t like fighting” I looked up at him. I don’t either baby” he leaned down slightly and kissed me softly. It was a learning process for us both since its the first time we have lived with someone else. We started to communicate with each other more to avoid the fights.

Brad: Classes were going well but life was just getting busy. I’ve never been the type of person to deal well with stress. I had a one track mind and that was for my studies. I wanted to finish these classes and graduate so I could start my career. Brad understood that and supported me as much as he could. “You coming to my set tonight?” he asked. “I have to study Brad,” I said into the phone. “Can’t you just take a break?” he asked. “I wish but this test is really important,” I said. “It’s always important” he sighed. “Don’t do that Brad” I snapped back. “What?” he asked. “Give me that attitude, you know how important this is,” I said. “Its always more important,” he said. “That’s not true!” I said. “It is, you never have time for me or anything,” he said. “Brad!” I said. “Don’t Brad me! It’s true! Maybe we shouldn’t be together” he said. “FINE!” I yelled into the phone before hanging up. I threw my phone onto the bed, ran my hand through my hair. I couldn’t believe that he would even say that. I never thought he would end our relationship in a time like this. I laid back on the bed closing my eyes just trying to calm down. I stayed home that night but didn’t get much studying done, Brad was the only thing on my mind. I started to doze off when I heard someone knock on the door. I made my way downstairs and opened the door. Brad was standing there in the rain, holding a rose. “I’m sorry” he got down on one knee. “Brad come in, you will get sick,” I said. He got up making his way into the house. I grabbed a towel for him to dry off since he was soaking wet. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said what I said” he wiped his face with the towel. “I’m sorry” I spoke softly. “I should understand, I always said I would,” he said. “I should of went tonight, I know your music means so much to you,” I said. “I didn’t mean what I said, I love you,” he said. “I love you” I moved closer to him, placing my hand against his cheek. “Not as much as I love you” he leaned down slightly kissing me softly. After that night I learned how to balance my school life and personal life. I started to understand that school work wasn’t always the priority, it was ok to go have fun.

Tristan: I laid back in the bed as my alarm was going off. I finally reached for my phone turning the alarm off. I got out of bed and that’s when I realized that Tristan didn’t come home. I made my way downstairs, making myself something to eat. After I ate I decided to sit on the couch and wait for Tristan. I heard him stumble onto the porch unlocking the door. “Where have you been?” I asked as he made his way into the apartment. “What?” he asked. “You heard me” I crossed my arms. “I was out with the boys” He sat on the couch. “Did you cheat on me?” I questioned. “What? Are you serious?” he looked at me. “I’m not joking Tristan,” I said. “I don’t remember” he chuckled slightly. “ARE YOU SERIOUS?” I yelled. “Calm down,” he said. “NO! What did you do?” I asked. “Nothing, but you seriously need to learn to trust me,” he said. “Why should I? When you stay out all night” I said. “I told you last night that it was a guys night, chill,” he said. “I can’t believe you” I ran upstairs, slamming the bedroom door. “DONT SLAM DOORS!” he yelled out. “SCREW YOU!” I yelled. He left the apartment slamming the door behind him. We have never talked to each other that way before. I called him later on that night but he didn’t answer. I went over to Brads place, knowing Tristan would be there. I walked in as he was laying on the couch, I leaned the doorway. “Can we talk?” I asked. “Here to accuse me of things?” He asked as he sat up. “No, I’m sorry,” I said. “I would never ever do that to you” he looked at me. “I trust you” I nodded slightly. “Good, it was just a night out. I promise” he said. “I’m sorry” I looked at him. “I love you” he reached for me. I made my way over to the couch, sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me, I leaned down kissing him softly. “I love you” he whispered against my lips. “I love you” I looked at him, resting my forehead against his. After that day he always made sure that I knew where he was. It’s not that I didn’t trust him I just didn’t trust the other females around him.

Connor: It was easy being in love with your best friend. Connor and I just got each other, we would always finish each other sentences. We were meant to be, he completed me and I completed him. I lay against his chest as we watched the sunset on the beach. “I love doing this” he said. “I do too” I sat up. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Nothing” I looked back at him. “Good” he smiled. “It so peaceful here” I said. “Yea it is, we should get going” he said. “Why?” I asked. “Because the party starts soon” he said. “Do we have to go?” I questioned. “Yes” he said. “Why? Can’t we just stay here?” I asked. “We said we would go so we are going” he said. “I don’t want to go!” I crossed my arms. “Don’t do this!” He said as he got up. “I’m not going,” I said. “Fine stay here then but i’m going” he said. “CONNOR!” I yelled as I got up. “We said we would go and I’m keeping my word,” he said. “So you are going to leave me here?” I asked. “Yes I will” He said. “I can’t believe you,” I said. “I keep my word so I’m going,” he said as he started to walk away. “FINE!” I said as I sat back down. He left the beach and went to the party. I stayed on the beach as the sun finally set, the stars were out. The breeze had started to pick up, I couldn’t believe Connor would actually leave me here. I got up from the beach and started to walk to the parking lot. I sighed as I realized that my phone was in his car. I started to walk back towards the apartment when a car pulled up. “Get in,” Connor said as he stopped next to me. “Why?”  I asked. “Come on babe, its cold out here” he said. “Fine” I rolled my eyes as I got into the car. “I’m sorry,” he said as he took my hand. “I can’t believe you would actually do that,” I said. “I shouldn’t have left you and I’m sorry,” he said. “We should of talked about the party instead of getting so mad” I said. “I’m sorry” he leaned over kissing my cheek. “I’m sorry” I looked at him. “Next time we should talk it over” he nodded. “Yea” I nodded. It was our first fight, normally we would just talk it out. I don’t know why this time was so different but we both hated how we talked to each other. We made a promise never to raise our voices at each other again.
