After getting off the phone with Macy I noticed James sitting on his own in the living room. I couldn’t help but think of how James acted when he came home to find me spraying air freshener like crazy in the house… oh yeah and I was in my towel.

“Hey James,” I said while plonking myself next to him on the sofa. I immediately noticed how he shifted closer to me and the warm smile he gave me sprang out specific thoughts in my head, thoughts that couldn’t possibly be true.

“Hey August,” James shuffled his hair lazily as he spoke and I could easily see the bags underneath his eyes. “James when was the last time you slept?”

He shrugged, “I’ve been really busy lately with prepping for my move to a new pack and my training, that sleep isn’t an option right now”.

Without thinking I pushed back his ruffled fringe and felt his hot forehead, “James you’re getting a temperature, you need to sleep”.

He laughed lazily, “I like how you worry about me August”.I dropped my hand and nervously bit my lip before asking, “James… do you, well you know, like me?”  

He looked at me head on and I shifted nervously and uncomfortably under his gaze, he smiled “would that be so bad?”

I sighed heavily, “look James you’re a really nice person and you have been a good friend...”

“But you don’t like me back”. I held his hand in mine, it was very warm and I used it to squeeze and reassure him “I like you just not in that way. I will admit that you are good looking but as cheesy as it sounds I just want to be friends”.

He tightly gripped my hand, “friends sound ok but now can I ask you something?” I smiled lightly at him and nodded, “is there someone else?”

I could have laughed his question off and made something up but instead I said “yes there is”. It felt right telling James even though sometimes he made me uncomfortable with his flirting and asking me out to places. However James had admitted something personal to me so I felt lying to him would be an insult. “Yes there is” and as I admitted this I couldn’t help but feel my heart flutter with the image of Grey in my head, I was missing him so much.

He smiled “I thought as much”.

“How?” He couldn’t know Grey could he? We had been careful as to where we had met up, I was ready for him to know I was in a relationship but not with whom and how really special he was. The news of finding my soul mate had only been revealed to Guy and he had kept his word in keeping it a secret, soon after Lizzie got married I would introduce Grey to my family and make sure they don’t ruin our future together.
