Chasing the Sun. Semi Lit. Full

i looked at him "do you ever miss the taste?" i asked "and the way you would get a brain freeze?" i sighed "i miss being able to feel things like that. the cool creamy ice cream that would slowly melt and be so cold you forced yourself to swallow even though you want to savor it and make it last" i ran my hand through my hair and kept fiddling the straw between fingers and then looked at james "im sorry i have been so rude its just- i have never made lip this disapointed in me and i" i looked away and bit my lip trying not to cry.

James looked at the milkshake for a long moment before even looking like he was about to say something. "Ya. There are other things I miss more though." he said, still looking at the milkshake and his eyes were distant. "Like the old drive through's. The ones were you parked, ordered, then the waiter roller skated out with your food. Or the old drive in movie theaters." He moved his gaze to her eyes and his eyes slowly started to look normal again. "Don't worry about it." he said with a slight smile. He gently touched her hand as an enforcement of his words.

i bit my lip and nodded "you seem to miss some of the good things. i do to." i said with a sigh. i looked at his hand on mine and looked up at him again "what if lip doesnt get over it though? what if he never forgives me for being stupid" i put my head on the counter and closed my eyes taking in deep breaths. "why am i so stupid james? why couldnt i have ever listened to my mom or listen to lip like i should have? why cant i be normal in some sense?"

[Erebaras]

James chuckled and watched her. "You aren't stupid, you just have a problem with authority." he said, pulling his hand away from her's. He ruffled her hair before retreating his hand back to his side. "It's normal in our time periods." he said with a smile. "They are only a decade apart." He folded his arms on the table and rested his chin on them in a childly manner. To complete the childish look was the impulsive grin on his face.

i sighed "you dont understand! none of this would have happened to me if i would have acted normal. i would be dead or something right now james. i might have even gotten a boyfriend or gotten married if i wasnt such an idiot" i said lifting up my head and looked at james. i blinked and a tear rolled down my cheek and i saw people starring at us "lets go" i mumbled and stood up leaving the restraunt

[Erebaras]

James lost all of the childish look. He grabbed her arm as he stood, forcing her to stop moving. "Hey. You can still have a boyfriend and maybe get married. You could be in your 40's or 50's now. Maybe a couple kids. Who knows what you could've had." he said, quiet enough that prying ears couldn't hear him. "You just have to live with what life throws at you know. And don't look back. We have forever." James let go of her arm and glanced at the people around them. He hated the unwanted eyes.

i smiled a bit at him and hugged him "you know your the only one who's trying to help me?" i asked him. i sighed and stepped back not wanting him to feel awkward and began walking out since he stopped me before. i looked down at my feet wiggling my toes and laughed softly waiting for james to walk out. when he did i smiled "have you lost hope on love yet?" i asked "and im not telling you my real age thank you very much!"

[Erebaras]

James hugged her back and then followed her out. "Naw, I haven't lost hope. Love has been a big part of my life and I don't think I'm going to lose it." he said, looking at her then chuckling at her last comment. "Ha. My mom always said that." He had never cared about a girl's age since he became a vampire. Time seemed endless and unnecessary.

i giggled a bit and began walking. "hey james do you mind if i try something?" i asked him. he felt like a brother to me but i just wanted to see what would happen if i kissed him. i didnt wait for an answer and stood up on my tip toes and kissed him lightly on the lips wrapping my arms around his neck. after a few seconds i pulled away embaressed "im sorry i should have never done that" i said knowing that he would always consider me more as a sister than anything else. i sighed and began walking chewing on my bottom lip like i always did when i was confused or upset when it came to a guy.

[Erebaras]

James was about to say 'sure' when her lips met his. His eyes went wide slightly. He hadn't expected this. His facial expressions said exactly what he felt. Unsure of what to think. He had always considered her a sister. He had gotten used to it after the first few years and never really thought to reflex on his feelings since. Her kiss made him reflect on those feelings. He didn't know what he felt anymore. "Wow... Um... I... I actually... Don't know how to react..." he stumbled over his words like a babbling idiot.

He snapped out of his trance-like state when he noticed she was walking away. He jogged to catch up to her then settled into her pace. His face had only a couple indicators of his previous face. Now it was more normal with a little bit of puzzlement then anything else. "You wanted to try that. You must have had some sort of reason to." he said, unsure of where he was going with this. "Did you get your answer?" Wow. How lame was that. His muddled thoughts pulled up a possible save. "I guess I mean what did you get out of that?" Again. Lame.

[[I'm still trying to decide on how James likes her. Right now, I'm leaning toward more then a friend.]]
