Mayas POV

I noticed how often James touched his left side of his suit throughout the whole night. Strange. It was like he was carrying something with him. 

When we arrived at my place, I pulled him toward me before he could even open the door to get out of the car. My lips crashed onto his and I gave him a slow and soft kiss. Then I deepened the kiss and snaked my hand around his neck. He made a little sound, it sounded like he enjoyed it. A smile appeared on my lips, so my teeth were touching his lips.

He opened his eyes and then made eye contact with me. He gave me a smile and kissed me again. We sat in the car like this for a couple of minutes before we figured out that it was time to head back up. 

It was dark outside, and the wind was cold. As soon as I stepped out of the car my eyes got watery because of the cold weather. I held tightly around my coat to protect me from the cool air. James followed me right after.
We got into the elevator and I pressed on the number 7. As we got out to the seventh floor, I pulled my keys out ready to open my door but then I turned around to face James again.

'Do you... wanna stay for the night?' I gave him a shy smile.

'Why, are you afraid to be alone?' he playfully said.

'No, but I would love to have you next to me. Especially after that dramatic experience at the bar'

We both chuckled just by thinking about Oliver's surprised face when I hit him in the face. That was priceless. Even though I would prefer not to hit anyone else in the future. That wasn't a cool thing to do in general. But I guess Oliver did deserve it though.

'Yeah, I will stay but promise me to wear something ugly. Otherwise you will make it hard for me.'

I blushed as we walked inside. I went to the bathroom to change into something more lose and chilled. I normally wore some silk shorts and a top but tonight I wore long pajamas trouser with a full-sleeved blouse that matched with the bottom. When I got out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth and washing my face I walked straight into the bedroom. 

There I saw James, sitting on the bedside and looking at something he had in his hands. He was not wearing his blazer anymore. He had opened a couple of his buttons on his shirt and his sleeves were smeared up to his elbows.

'What is that in your hand?' I smiled at him not really knowing what he was up to.

His eyes traveled back to me in a second and he hid the thing he had in his hands.

'N-nothing. I think Connor must have forgotten this in my pocket when he borrowed my blazer one time. It's nothing special. I must give it back to him though...'

I looked at him, not fully convinced. What was that box? I had seen him been touching his blazer all night and now he sat here with something in his hand. It looked like a jewelry box or something.

Wait... Could that be...? An engagement ring? But for who?

My heart sprinted so fast that my breathing wasn't steady any longer. Could that be a ring for me?

When I realized what I was beginning to think, I had to stop it right away.

Of course, he isn't proposing to you this soon! You just started dating!

What was I even thinking? How could I expect him to be proposing to me at this moment? I mean, if he did ask me to marry him tonight, I would say yes without a doubt. But I wasn't stupid. No man would propose to his girlfriend this soon.

How I wished he would anyway. Although I would have preferred it while I was still wearing the dress. Now I just looked like a little munchkin in my baby blue pajama set. That wasn't sexy or romantic at all.

I figured he was telling the truth about Connor that must have forgotten to take it out before he gave the blazer back to him. Rose constantly got new jewelry from him. Everything from dangling earrings to necklaces and rings. It must have been one of those. I took out some of his extra clothes that I had in my wardrobe so he could change into something more comfortable too.
Now I was sitting at the bed end dangling with my feet like a little girl. My bed was high, so when I sat on it I couldn't reach down to the floor. I was really small and not that tall.

'You're so cute when you sit like that babe' he laughed at me.

'Stop it. It's not my fault you know. Asian genes – blame it on my parents' I grinned. He now had some shorts on and a white t-shirt on. He was so much bigger than me. He sat beside me now and when he did, the bed swooped up and down. He then tackled me down so I couldn't move. Both my hands were in his grip and he was now above me.

'I love you – you know that?' he whispered to me. I could feel his breath on me, he was that close to me. I gulped and then kissed him on the tip of his nose.

'I love you too James'.

He loosened his grip and turned over to my side. He pulled the covet over us and snuggled up to me. He was lying behind me and had his arm around my waist. I reached out for the nightstand to turn off the lights.

'Goodnight'

'Goodnight beautiful'

There was a bit of silence before James broke it again.

'Maya?'

'Yes?' I didn't turn around. I still laid there with his arm around me and it was all dark in the room.

'I'm proud of you. My girl is one sexy goddess who knows how to slap her villains'

I laughed and crawled closer to him.
