“Of course it is,” James muttered under his breath, glaring at me while I just sighed in defeat.
“Just get us home,” I told him tiredly and he just rolled his eyes at me. He rolled his eyes at me.
“Gladly. To our home it is,” James smiled again before flying us off to God knows where. “You’ll love it there. I swear.”
So this is my new life. It’s just me and James. I wonder what Adrian will do while I’m away. Will he come looking for me? Will he even want me back? I betrayed him and everyone else.
I remember looking into his aquamarine eyes before leaving. His eyes held remorse, love, anger and . . . betrayal. Maybe he’ll just give up on me. He deserves to be happy and he definitely won’t be happy if our relationship had persisted. Looking at James, I smiled at him before reaching up and kissing his cheek. I snuggled into his chest and breathed him in. James stood frozen for about a moment before grinning and wrapping his arms around me protectively. He kissed the top of my head and I didn’t flinch this time.
“I’ll never let you go,” James whispered and I smiled. James was wrong when he said it’ll forever be him and his broken heart. It’ll always be me and my broken heart. Just when I was having a mental pity party, James broke me out of my reverie.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, tilting my face up to meet his stormy blue gaze.
“It’s just . . . I have a question,” I started and he nodded, motioning for me to go on. “Is Adrian British? Are you French?” As soon as I finished asking those questions, James immediately face-palmed himself and I looked away.
“Out of all the questions you could ask me, you ask those two stupid ones. The answer to both is yes,” He states and I don’t know why, but I want to ask more questions. I open my mouth to say something, but James, realizing that I had more questions, cuts me off.
“Aller dormir, mon ange. Go to sleep,” James orders and the darkness soon takes me away to the most phantasmagorical place I’ve ever been to.
