His Property

Chapter Twelve

Emery

I woke up on James' chest. He was sleeping peacefully and he looked so cute. The night before came into my head. He said that he loved me and I didn't know how to feel about it. Never in my life have I ever thought someone could love me. But even then, James probably hasn't been in love either. I haven't began to know what love is, and I doubt he does too.

I turned around and looked at James. Even though he gets in his moods, I still wanna change him. I wanna show him that his ways aren't the ways to go. He loves me and if he really did love me the way he said, he would let me help him. I saw his eyes fluttering and soon, he opened his eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes. I smiled and he smiled back.

"Good morning, love." He said. His voice raspy from just waking up.

"Good morning." I responded, smiling. He grabbed my waist and pulled me toward his chest.

"How did you sleep?" He said placing his chin on top of my head.

"I slept good." I then had to go to the bathroom so I wriggled out of his hold and walked into the bathroom.

"Hey!" He said through the door. "I was thinking we could have a night. You know, just the both of us."

"What would we do?" I asked as I flushed the toilet and stood up, washing my hands. When I was done, I opened the door and he stepped in.

"I don't know. I'll probably cook dinner and we eat and watch a movie," he said grabbing my waist looking down on me. I nodded my head. It didn't sound bad. I would be down with it if he controls his temper. He placed his lips on mine, kissing me. He pulled away after a couple of seconds.

We both brushed our teeth and when we were done, we walked downstairs and I started to prepare breakfast. I cooked his favorite meal; scrambled eggs with fruit.

I placed his plate down in front of him. To my surprise, I wasn't hungry so I didn't fix anything for myself.

"Where's yours?" He asked gesturing in front of me. "Why aren't you eating?" He asked.

"Oh, I'm not hungry." I said. "Go ahead and eat. Don't worry about me." I said.

"Come here." He said waving his finger towards me. I stood up and walked over to him.

"You need to eat." He sat me down on his lap and fed me some of his food. He gave me some fruit and his eggs. He stopped after I convinced him I was full. He let me up and I got up and went into our room.

I grabbed 'Hamlet' and started reading. Halfway through, James walked through the door. He walked into the closet and pulled out a suit. I'm guessing he has to do work today.

"Do you have to work today?" I asked him, peeking up from my book.

"Yeah. Alex and Red aren't gonna be able to come over to accompany you so you have to entertain yourself today for a couple of hours." He said.

"Ugh, I'm going to be so bored. I'll have nothing to do." I complained. He looked over to me and chuckled. I love his smile.

"You can go out in the garden. Water the flowers. I haven't been doing them and the maids aren't here today. Plus, I know you wanted to do them so feel free," he suggested. I might just do that considering I like flowers.

I nodded my head and walked towards him. He grabbed my waist in his arms and kissed my lips and I kissed back. Our lips lingered against each other for quite some time until he pulled away. I frowned missing the feeling of his lips upon mine.

"You're gonna be a good girl today for me?" He asked kissing my forehead. I nodded. I really wish he could say something other than that. "Mmm, good girl." He pinches my lips between his thumb and index finger.
