Ah finally back to this world! Thank you so much for your well appreciated patience. I’m happy to be writing about James and Elizabeth again. For today, there’s only one chapter. But from tomorrow, I’ll be updating twice daily. We’re more than halfway through the story so we should be biding farewell by the end of this month, but as we go, don’t forget to keep giving your support. I hope everyone is glad to have Liz and James back ( try not to be too hard on Elizabeth, she’s trying haha.) Love you all always.♡
ELIZABETH."Are you okay?""Elizabeth!" I flinch back, blinking at my reflection before meeting Miley’s eyes in the mirror. She’s sitting on her bed with a lollipop in one hand and her phone in the other. She cocks her head, "You good?""Yeah." I sigh. "Why do you ask?"“Because you’ve been sitting in front of that mirror for minutes now, just staring at yourself and lost in your thoughts." She chuckles, pushing against her headboard, and I give her a small smile. "Sorry. Just got some stuff—""You have a date?" She asks, lifting an eyebrow. When I nod, she pushes forward, amusement lining her words. "With who?" Right. With whom?My phone beeps in front of me, momentarily taking my attention off Miley and I grab it. It’s a text from Jared.JARED: Pick you up in five?I bite my lip as I stare at the text, my fingers hovering over the screen as I try to think of the best response to give him. This would be easy if I didn’t have someone else—It beeps again, and it isn’t from Jared this
ELIZABETH.Our eyes meet and James looks to my side before wrapping a hand around the red-haired next to him, pulling her flush against him. I swallow the lump in my throat as I watch him walk away without holding my gaze for another second."Elizabeth." Jared snaps me out of it before I can do something stupid like turn and try to catch his gaze again."Hmm?""I asked if you want a drink.""Yeah, sure," I respond and he rises from his seat to go get us drinks. I drop my hands on my lap, my fingers digging into my palms as I try to remain still and not think about the fact that James is right in the room with me. With a girl I do not recognize. What the fuck is he doing? Did he come here to shove that in my face? Is this how he retaliates for choosing Jared over him? Since when does he do that and who even is that girl? Where did he find her? How long has he known her? Was he just waiting for me to push him away so he could get with her and flaunt her in my face?"He likes you." Someon
JAMES.Elizabeth had the fucking audacity to choose that guy over me. I stood there, pleading silently for her not to do that to me, but she did.And as much as it hurt, it still wasn’t enough for me to give up. If she thought going on a date with another guy instead of me would make me back off, then she had it wrong. I was going to make sure I ruin that fucking date of hers.Which is why I found a girl I didn’t even know her name. I saw her around campus once and she looked eager to spend time with me, making things easier for me. I just needed to get a rise out of Elizabeth. She denied it with everything, but I knew she still felt something.She saw me with the girl. She couldn’t keep her eyes off and I know I got to her. Then she had the fucking nerve to get on the damn floor with that bastard.He was touching her. His hand was on her freaking waist, and she had her hands on his shoulders. He was touching what’s fucking mine. I couldn’t stand another second watching them, but what
ELIZABETH."James," I whisper in an almost breathless voice as he trails soft kisses down my neck, his lips feathery against the skin. I let out a satisfied sigh and shut my eyes when his hand comes around my waist, shoving me back to him. "You taste so fucking good." James groans against my neck as his grip on my waist tightens and, unable to control myself, I move one hand to the back and hold down his neck.He’s too good at this. I almost forget how fucking good he is and how easy it is for him to have me wrapped around his fingers in literally seconds. I’m too lost in the small kisses James leaves on my skin and the hand gripping my waist possessively, all previous thoughts I had dissolved in the air."James. I want… I want—" I gasp when his hand disappears inside my skirt and he rubs through the soft fabric of my panties, having me wet in no time. He pushes his head back and I open my eyes to meet his in the mirror. "What do you want, love?" He whispers as he grinds his front to m
ELIZABETH.We finally make it out of the restroom, with James refusing to leave before me. He follows me as I go in search of Jared, who isn’t in his seat and neither are his friends, when I get back to the booth."Did they leave already?" I ask no one in particular but James answers, "I told you we should just leave.""They have my bag. And my phone. I need to get them.""And how do you intend to do that?""I don’t know. I—" I sigh and rub a hand over my forehead before turning to James. "Did we spend that long in the restroom?"His mouth lifts and he moves closer to wrap an arm around me, bringing me to his chest. "Times fly by quickly when I’m fucking your reality aside, am I right?""Shut up." I push at his chest, turning my head to the side to hide the blush that’s quickly covered my cheeks. James chuckles and leans against the booth. "Can we leave now? I’m sure he’ll drop your things at your dorm or we can go get them from him tomorrow." I don’t comment on the way he uses we and
JAMES.We arrive in front of my apartment and I unbuckle my seatbelt, removing my hand from Elizabeth’s thigh before turning to her. She’s staring ahead as she slowly undoes her seatbelt, her eyes scanning the sight in front of her with her lips slowly parted.I just watch her do that for a while, unable to keep the grin off my face. I can’t stop smiling tonight. It feels like everything is falling right back into place. After what feels like a fucking eternity, she’s finally letting me in again.When she takes too long to remove that belt and I’m getting too fucking impatient, I growl and lean forward, ripping the belt off her. That catches her attention, and she stares at me with wide eyes as I move her off her seat. "James!" She shrieks as I pull her on my lap, right on my crotch. I’m sure she can feel the growing length in my pants as she slides against it. Her mouth hangs, and she drops her hands on my shoulders. I rest one hand on her waist and lift the other to push back the str
ELIZABETH.James is still asleep when I wake up. I can’t help the smile on my face as I shift on his arm. My head is on his right arm to keep me to him, and I assume it must have been like that throughout the entire night.I had zero knowledge of what was going on anymore after he fucked me in this bed last night. The desperation and intensity at which he took me both shook me and exhausted me, and I fell right to sleep in his arms only seconds after. I didn’t even wake a single time throughout the entire night, and the first sight I saw when I opened my eyes was his gorgeous face.He’s right here with me. Last night wasn’t a dream or a fragment of my imagination. It was real; I had decided to let myself be selfish and have him again. The soreness between my legs is more than enough proof for it, along with the warmth that spread through my entire body.I haven’t felt at peace for so long. But right now, next to James, and staring at his face; I don’t think I could be at more peace. Th
JAMES.I watch as Elizabeth enters the bathroom, and I let out a sigh as I fall back on the bed, pulling the pillow behind me.We were making progress. She won’t be running away from this any longer and that’s the best news I’ve heard since she left. The morning couldn’t possibly get any better with her embracing what we have once again—until her mom called. She reacted the same way she did every time I tried to come close before last night. I might have felt a brief moment of sadness because of it, but it’s alright. We can take this step by step. What’s important is that she’s slowly letting me in right now, and if she doesn’t want her mom to know about that for now; then I’m fine by it. As long as she stops pushing me away and choosing other boys over me, then I can handle everything else."Hey." I smile when I hear the bathroom door open again. Liz walks out, still very naked, and my eyes go down her body, momentarily distracted by the work of art that’s her lines and curves before
