About that, Rae. I'm pretty sure Mika would get a girl. Look at him, he's so fineee.

Yep. Second that. Rae, Mika will probably not want to live with his mother once he's married with kids ;)

@Valkyrae | Rae

Aaah. My heart. Don't say like that. Mika loves me more.

Right?

It's official. Mika may abandon me once he settles down. Now I'm single forever.

That's it.

'I am so sorry you have to do this.' Rae said, smiling sheepishly. 'Imane is streaming and Alex is busy too, I did tell Imo that I'd halt a cab but she insisted... and... I.'

James interrupted the rambling girl, 'Hey, um, it's okay.' He said, as Rae tied her seatbelt. 'I live near to Alex's house and it's no big deal. The office was just on the other lane anyway.

The car swiftly drove through the silent road, as Rae bid a goodbye to her content house friends. They all had an amazing time and had managed to work and relax. And finishing over three videos and a personal vlog, Rae sat back with a tired sigh as they drove towards Imane's house.

The one reason to come to Washington was done and now she awaited a long week of complete rest and a little chaos since Imane's birthday was to arrive.

She shut her eyes, letting the cool air conditioner calm her heavy head and the music which James played ease in the atmosphere. While Rae relaxed, her long brown hair let down and she comfortably wrapped in her loose sweatshirt, James steadily drove the car, all ready in his formals.

He looked over her, the girl was sleeping soundly now, her head leaning towards the window and James made sure to drive as swiftly as possible. Her brown hair kept falling over her face, which James kept wondering whether or not he should tuck it away. Yet, his nervous mind and over contemplating judgment made him not to and he focused on the road.

He wouldn't make a fool of himself, twice.

That's plain stupidity.

The car ride to Imane's house was only 30 so minutes, but it increased to 40 when James couldn't comprehend how to wake the sleeping woman up. He unbuckled his belt and turned towards the passenger seat, Rae was asleep now with her hands wrapped around her knees which she had drawn over the seat, completely resting on the window.

She just looked too cute to be woken up, according to him, yet he had to.

He thought about giving her a slight nudge, but he withdrew his hand midway and then thankfully his phone rang cause of which she woke up.

'The fuck!' She startled James from her loud cry, 'Oh I slept?'

'Yea. Yeah.' James said, nodding. 'We've reached.'

'Oh okay. Thanks.' Rae tied her hair with her scrunchie and James helped her with the bags, holding them while she held her backpack. 'You don't have to, it's fine.'

'Please. I insist.'

Rae just nodded, thanking him as they walked up to the lobby towards the elevator. The intensity between them just increasing by the very second, something Rae wasn't still quite sure about.

'Are you always this courteous, or something is up today?' She asked, raising her eyebrow at him while they waited for the elevator.

James chuckled, his hair slightly falling over his forehead. 'Actually, if I'm being honest, I do need a favor.'

'Aah. There it is.' Rae mocked, with a I-know-everything tone, the elevator making a ding sound. 'Tell me tell me. What is it that you need?'

'Um, I know Imane's birthday is coming up.' He said as they entered the elevator, 'She's been so sweet towards me throughout... I thought I'd... you know... get her something.' He said, looking down at Rae who was fixing her hair in the mirror. 'I don't know what to, actually. So maybe you could help, since you're her best friend... so you'd know... something...'

Rae stopped mid-way and faced James with a smile. 'You want me to help you? Is that what you're trying to say?'

'Yes. Yes.' James gulped, nodding. 'Yes. Only if it's no big deal. I understand if you're busy or something...'

'Hey, it's okay.' Rae interrupted his rambling, as they got off the elevator and Rae rang the doorbell. 'Let's go tomorrow. I need to hunt for a last minute gift too for Imane. We could do a little shopping maybe. Yea?'

'Tomorrow?'

'Yes.' Rae shrugged placing her hands on her hips. She didn't quite get that he had work to do and he stood, confused.

'Oh I forgot you have work.' She said, pouting as James stood watching her.

How she could encompass so many facial expressions in a minute and still look cute, he'd never know.

'We could go in the evening, if you have work?'

'Sure. Evening sounds good.'

They smiled at each other, as James rubbed his neck with his hand. 'Thanks for doing this. I appreciate the help.' He said, softly.

God, she looked prettier when she smiled.

Rae couldn't help but smile back, for some reason his smile was growing on her. The way he looked down, meeting her eyes and beamed at her was making her feel something.

Good something.

He handed her the bag and she took it, their hands meeting on the way. Especially his slightly over hers and the same warm tingling feeling holding her captive. She met his eyes, his dark black eyes as he held her brown ones.

What was happening to her?

Meanwhile James wanted to do both, grow closer and far apart.

'Is Imane dead or what?' Rae broke the trance, withdrawing her hand, feeling overwhelmed by the tension and rang the doorbell again. 'Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then?'

'Yes. See you.'

With that James walked back, shutting his eyes and shaking her touch of his mind. He cannot and absolutely would not let himself fall for these growing emotions with her. Not when he was the only one to do so. He had to step away and move on.

Not realizing that the girl he had his heart set on, was feeling something likewise too.
