Thought I Had It Figured Out

“Why would you even think that?” James asked me. I just starred at him. I just told him my whole problem about Seth and he answered like I told him that I didn’t believe I was pretty.

“Why would I fire you because of that? It happened outside the office.” He said. He did have a point, I thought.

“Because fighting with Seth was the real reason why I was late this morning” I told him. While looking at my yet to be painted nails.

“Did you tell that to my mother?” he said while parking the car on the side of road, reaching our destination.

“No, I lied” I whispered sad about the fact that I lied to my boss on the first day.

“Then you have nothing to worry about” he smiled at me. I couldn’t help but smile myself. We both got out of the car and I waited for him to walk around the car. When he did, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and said.

“So what is it that you lied to my mother about” he smiled at me and I smiled back and then I started walking, making his arm fall of my shoulder.

“Do you have to know everything?” I teased. While walking into the store, I was greeted by a short blonde.

“How may I help-“ but she seemed to be caught by surprise when James walked in.

“Oh My God… You’re James Morrison!” she squealed. I looked over at James to see if he was scared of the fan girl. But he was smiling, a smile that almost matched the blonde that was now standing right in front of him.

“That I am. Whats your name?” he flirted. I just stood there looking between the two.

“Rachael” she smiled even more. Oh god help me.

“That’s a nice name. My friend and I are looking for a outfit for a award show.” He said simply. She glared at me for him calling me his friend. Then a older women with also blonde hair but shorter walked over to us.

“Rachael dear, how about you go take the cash while I take Mr. Morrison and?” she looked over at me.

“Jasmine Fitch” god why did I just tell her my name…? “Ms. Fitch over to the dressing rooms.” She told Rachael. You could tell that Rachael wasn’t happy. She nodded her head and walker over to the cash.

“Hello, sorry for my daughter’s excitement… I’m Julie Michaels and I’m going to help you guys with your search today.” She told us. We both nodded our head and followed her. I looked at all the dresses we passed on our way to where she was bringing us. The dresses were beautiful… dresses that I sure couldn’t afford.

“Now Mr. Morrison” Ms. Michaels started off.

“Please call me James. Makes me feel old.” He told her and looked to his left side and smiled at me. I smiled back.

“Very well then, what kind of look are you going for?” she asked him. I looked at him. Also wanting to know what kind off look he was going for…to see how sexy he was in it.

“Well for sure black dress pants with a black belt to go with it. And for the top…Jasmine have any ideas?” he asked me while looking at me as did Ms. Michaels. I looked at them both, not sure what to say. Not wanting to make more of a fool of myself.

“How about a dress shirt with a couple of the button unbuttoned?” I said lightly, hoping they didn’t hear me.

“Jasmine that is such a great idea! I don’t think my fans wouldn’t mind a little bit of skin.” And I wouldn’t mind seeing your skin. I thought to myself.

“What colour would you like?” he then looked at me again. “Purple” I joked. But I guess he didn’t think I was joking because he told the lady purple and his sizes of his clothes and she left.

“James, I was joking” I told him while sitting on the white couch that was be hide us. He then followed me and sat right beside me then on the other side of the couch.

“I think purple is a good idea. The ladies like it when I wear purple” he smirked. I shook my head with a smile on my face.

“so you going to answer my question?” he asked me.

“which one?”

“what was the lie you told my mom?”

“I told her that my friend hurt her foot or something and that I had to drive her to the hospital.” I told him. He laughed.

“Nice, I should remember that. I lied to my mom one time… or more like a bunch of times” he told me with a smirk on his face.

“Oh what a bad mommies boy” I mocked him.

“I’m no mommy’s boy for you information. And just like you I had to make up a pretty little white lie for why I showed up late for work” he said.

“Oh and what is these little white lies”

“Time will tell” he winked. And then the women came back before I could ask him another question.

“Here you go sir. I added a black tie in case you wanted to add it. The change rooms are to your right” she said and nodded her head once and went to the new costumers that just came through the doors.

“Well I’ll go try these on so don’t run off on me alright” I nodded my head. And watch him go through the Curtin. I looked around and saw that the small blonde Rachael or whatever her name is was glaring at me. I raised my brow at her and then looked down at my nails. My very ugly nails… I should text Miranda to ask if she wants to get her nails done tomorrow at lunch.

~ Yo man, do you wanna get your nails down tomorrow around lunch time and maybe get a bite to eat? ~ I texted her.

~ OMG YES! Do you want me to book appointment? ~ she texted back.

~ sure, I’ll talk to you later k ~

~ alright xxoo ~ she said.

~ xoxox <3 ~

“Jasmine!” I heard James calling me. I slide my cell in my coat pocket and walked over to the Curtin where he was getting dressed. I couldn’t help but think about if he was wearing any clothes or not.

“yea James?”

“can you come in” he said like it was a big deal. What was I suppose to do say no? so I slide open the curtin a bit and went in closing it behide me and I walked right into his bare chest.

“oh god sorry” I blushed. His chest was very toned and muscular. I just wanted to reach out and trace his abs with my fingers. But I of course held myself.

“No worries” he chucked “can you help me I can not put this tie on” he asked me.

“Oh yea of course. You going to button up your top?” I asked him. Even though I didn’t want him to.

“and here I thought you were enjoying my body. Oh well” he said while buttoning his top up but leaving the top part open. I blushed and took the tie from his hands since he handed it to me and wrapped it around his neck and started tying it.

“thank you” he smiled and then looked at himself in the mirror.

“do you wanna go outside to get a better look at it. The lights are brighter out there” I asked him. Plus there wasn’t that much room in the change room so we were really close together.

“and why would I do that when I can see all I need to see right here in front of me” he said looking at me. I Must have had a shock expression on my face because he smirked and brought his face closer to mine.

“and what is it that” I asked him. Not sure that he was meaning me. There might been a mirror be hide. But I was to scared to look.

“Well what I see is a beautiful girl who had their heart broken to many times and maybe is willing to open her heart one more time” he said softly.
