JAMES
As Rose gets inside the car, she turns to me.
Her big eyes stare at me and I have to restrain myself from doing anything too soon.
But it wouldn't be easy at all.
"Princess," I utter my name for her.
At the mention of her name, Rose smiles at me and I feel my heart begin to speed up. "Yeah?"
Knowing that she was smiling for me made me eccentric.
"Your seatbelt." I lean in towards her, one hand plastered on the door while the other is gripping the seat, just inches away from her leg. Leaning close to her face, I don't stop until our faces are only centimeters apart and she tries to make herself small. "Put it on," I whisper close to her cheek and she squeaks.
I raise my eyes and focus on her brown orbs, but for a mere second, my eyes drop to her lips.
They were a glossy pink colour and I couldn't help but admire the way they look.
They were enticing.
But I had to restrain myself.
It was too soon.
For her, not for me.
If it were up to me, I would smash my lips to hers not caring about the rest of the world.
But I couldn't do anything, not without telling her the truth.
She deserves to know, but I'm afraid.
Afraid of her reaction.
Shaking my head, I pull away and Rose exhales through her mouth.
"Your seatbelt." I remind her again and she shakes her head in slow motion.
With a satisfied nod, I close the door and jog to my side.
Getting in, I quickly slam the door shut and bring the seatbelt across my chest.
Turning the car on, I step on the break before glancing at the rearview mirror.
Looking to my left, I proceed to step on the gas pedal and drive forward.
Just as I pass her house, I see Rose looking at me from the corner of my eye.
"What are you going to do?" She finally asks.
"Me?" I take a quick glance at her before turning to the front, my lips forming into a smirk. "I'm stealing you away for the day."
Instead of glancing at Rosie's reaction, I decide to give her a break and focus on the road before me.
Stopping in front of the gates, I wait for them to open.
