James and Liz

Part One — Chapter 1

A fanfiction about original story in Misc » Original

**Warning** These are very short chapters, but I've written four so far and I decided it was time to post the tiny bit I have and wait for a response ;)

I stretched as the lights came on in the packed theatre.

“Let’s go back to my place and I’ll show you how that movie should’ve ended.” James said seductively.

“Sure Casanova, let’s go.” I teased as we walked out into the cold night air. We strolled away from the bustling movie theatre hand in hand towards the adjacent lot of cars. Mine was parked far at the back, and that’s where I was headed.

“I thought you wanted to go home with me tonight?” James asked me.

“Well I’m a bit tired, and I have an appointment tomorrow morning.” I replied.

“Oh I see,” James sounded a little disappointed, “I’ll walk you as far as my car then.”

We walked in silence between the tightly packed rows of cars. It didn’t usually get that cold in southern Georgia, but there had been quite unusual weather that week. I shivered beneath my light jacket, and James hugged me closer to him. I greedily stole his body heat and revelled in the contact.

James and I had been dating about six out of the seven months we had known each other, but already I knew I was undoubtedly in love with him. I could name any of his amazing qualities, be it his kindness, playfulness, or natural charm, but they weren’t what endeared him to me. I loved him for every knowing glance, secret touch, and whispered word. With every word he said or thing he did, it was obvious to me that he loved me. I don’t think he could have hidden it if he tried.

I could imagine thousands of different possibilities for my future, but every single one of them included James. My James. And I was his Liz. Nothing could ever change that. I snuggled closer to him as we neared his car, not wanting to let go.
