James POV

"What if I mess up on my jumps?"

Thomas sighs. "You're jumps are amazing and you're going to do great. Just please stop worrying."

"I'm sorry, it's just really stressful."

"It's okay. I'M sorry I shouldn't have lost my patience like that. Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked hopefully.

An idea pops into my head as he offers. "Well... we could do some partner stretching."

"Some who do what now?"

"C'mon, get on the floor I'll show you."

He does as I ask and I sit down across from him. I sit in a pike and he follows my lead, putting his feet up against mine.

"Holy crap your feet are tiny, I can't even see them past mine."

I just roll my eyes. "Whatever. Take my hands, we'll do you first."

He grabs my hands and I start to pull him towards me, getting his chest closer to his legs.

"OMYGOD, that's enough. Ouch, your turn."

"Sorry," I laugh. He smiles at me and slowly pulls my arms like he's afraid to hurt me.

"Thomas, you're not gonna hurt me. See?" I lie my body completely flat onto my legs and outstretch my arms on the floor.

He just looks at me, kind of amazed, but he shouldn't be after he saw me tumble at the theater.

"Okay, next stretch! Thomas, spread your legs."

"At least buy me dinner first!" I laugh

"No seriously, like a straddle." I demonstrate a small straddle for him since he isn't as flexible as me. He copies the stretch. Now I fully stretch into my straddle, which is close to a straight line.

"Thomas, close your mouth before you catch flies."

"Well sorry, I've just never seen anything like you- I-I mean this. Your flexibility. Yeah, it's um great."

He seems embarrassed so I just smile and start talking again.

"Okay, I'm gonna pull you first so you know what we're doing, okay?" He nods.

I pull him by his arms, slower this time, and his arms actually get a little past his feet this time.

"Good job! Can I get a high five for improvement?"

"Uh, sure thing. Just never talk to me with that tone of voice ever again."

I roll my eyes. "Now do me."

Huh. Did I just see him blush. Whatever.

He pulls me a little faster this time, but he keeps looking at me, seeing if he should stop. Finally I get impatient and lie down completely, reaching my arms out and around Thomas's midsection. His body goes stiff and then relaxes under my arms. We stay like that for a minute

"Omg! Do they have any froyo around here."

"Well that was random. What brought tha-"

"Thomas this is an important and valid concern. Where's the frozen yogurt?"

He just laughs, stands up and walks to the kitchen. He comes back with-

"Holy goodness gracious! Is that mango froyo?! And strawberry banana?! AND birthday cake!?"

He smiles wide, "Yes, yes, and yes! Wanna watch 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' or 'Legally Blonde'"

"LEGALLY BLONDE, I love that movie!"

"Alright legally blonde it is, do you mind making the popcorn."

I don't even respond, I just run towards the kitchen and put a bag in the microwave.

•••••••

I make 5 whole bags because popcorn is the bomb. When I walk back into our room I see that Thomas has already laid out tons of blankets and pillows on the floor. And he has the movie ready on his laptop, scrolling through his phone waiting for me.

I put down the popcorn and sit down right next to him. Thomas puts his arm around my waist and pulls me closer. I don't mind, not one itsy bitsy bit.

💚💚lol I'm timeskipping to some of my fave parts don't judge, but if you're planning on seeing this movie this will spoil it soz💚💚

"Fuck you, Warner!" I yell, "What an asshole!"

"I didn't think that you were the type to curse."

"Well only about things I really care about, like Elle Woods."

"You are the cutest dork ever," he says. I turn away because I'm sure my face is so red right now. Okay James, be cool. He's just being nice. Or maybe Laf was right. OMYGOD what if he was right I just don't know what to-

"James, James! Get out of the twilight zone you're gonna miss the bend and snap."

"Gurl please, I am the bend and snap. The only person who could bend and snap better than me is Elle Woods herself, and probably Beyoncé."

"If you say so..."

Ugh, he's really hot. And now I have an idea.

I fake yawn and pretend to be sleepy. Then I lie my head on Thomas's shoulder. He seems to be okay with it. I'm gonna test the boundaries😉

I sit down in between his legs, still facing the movie screen and rest my head on his chest. Thomas tightly wraps his arms around me, in a protective manner.

I just feel so safe. Nothing really matters right now. I'm so relaxed that a I yawn, for real this time. Before I know it my eyes are shut and I'm still being held by Thomas. Thomas Jefferson. Wow. I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
