Catch Me if You Can (Kayla)

[Kayla Sommers]

It was so weird feeling like this again. It was as though she wanted to be with him but was too afraid to take that leap. The guy she danced with that night at the ball she wanted to know more about. He was so warm, gentle and caring, but there was also a mystery there and she wasn't talking about the masks. He said he understood and she believed him, but he had no idea what she had been through. Maybe she should tell him. She didn't want to loose him she just wanted him to understand more why she was so afraid to allow him close to her. Not just physically but emotionally as well. "James please...."

[/color] She didn't know what she was going to say, she just didn't want him to leave. She was also a little taken back by the whole costume he was now wearing and the way his eyes glowed now was a little eerie but nothing to be scared off. Atleast she didn't feel scared of him.

"James it's not you, it's hard for me to.....let people get close."[/color] She said, her voice shaking. God she really didn't want to tell him but she kind of felt she had to, otherwise she was going to loose him for good. "You see I don't have a family, I mean they are alive but my brother started to beat me and when I told my mum and dad they didn't believe me so they disowned me, even when I told them that my brother hired a vampire to kill me. That's how I got this scar."[/color] She said and pushed her hair back, revealing the scar. "I did meet a couple of people here who said would help me but didn't. I feel for a guy who said he would give me a home and stop my brother from hurting me but it was me who ended up protecting him. My brother somehow found us on our first date and tried to kill us, but I killed my brother in self defense. I didn't mean to, not even wanted to but if I didn't he would have killed Liam. Now I think why did I bother because he just left Hogwarts one day and I didn't even know until I heard a couple of professors talking about it three days later. So I turn to my best friend, also a guy, for help and all he does is come on to me and try to sleep with me because his long term girlfriend is away. But the second she returns he tells me he never meant what he said and was just lonely."[/color] By now the tears were flowing down her cheeks, she wasn't even aware of how much she was crying.

"When she came back he proposed to her and got married then they left. I thought things were beginning to look up when the ministry got a auror to train me up but he got killed in battle and they never resigned someone to train me. So when I say I have nothing, I literally have nothing. I have no family, no friends, no home and no money. I have no idea what I'm going to do after this year and that terrifies me, but what scares me even more is trusting someone and allowing them to get close."[/color] She said and shook her head. Kayla couldn't believe she had just told him everything. "I know have scars all over my body which I hate. I never thought I was beautiful but I used to be happy with the way I looked and now when I look in the mirror I feel repulsed."[/color] She said and sunk back to the floor, knees to her chest.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

He pulled his his hood down and pulled his mask off his eyes still glowing a bright blue "I met the man once." He said softly place in for head on hers "He tried to kill me, I have a scar from the spell he used." He said opening his shirt and showing the massive scar spanning from his left shoulder down to the bottom off of his chest muscle. It almost looked like a the claw of an eagle. "Was my 3rd year. I was doing my usual running routine and I was standing at the edge of the forbidden forest looking in. I saw a shadowy figure walking around so I followed to see who it was then I lost his trail." He strapped the jerkin up and sighed "Last thing I remember I was hit by a spell and I collapsed and I saw a a figure in black over me and I was healed." He looked down "Who ever it was... Was familiar."

He took her hand in his "I am not like anyone you have ever met. I will spend as much time as it takes to heal the scars of the past. My family has almost unlimited funds, I can give you a home and yes it would be only yours" He paused for a second "I will train you myself and besides you also have me as a friends.. And hopefully more."

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla rested her forehead against his as he rested his against hers and lightly placed her hands on his chest when he opened his shirt. Listening to his story was heart breaking but she was relieved to finally meet someone who would have some idea of what she was going through. She lightly ran her fingertips along the scar on his chest and looked back up at him as he took hold of her hand. he was offering her so much and she couldn't understand why, she didn't think she deserved all this, she didn't think she was worth it. When James said he would give her a home only for her, her mouth opened slightly in shock. He hardly knew her and it felt as though he was offering her the world. He was also willing to train her, so she could become a auror. "A home?"

[/color] She said, still in shock. That word was so alien to her it felt wrong coming out of her mouth. It had been a long time, seven years to be exact since she had even considered having a home. At the moment, Hogwarts was her home.

She had stayed there ever since she left her parents house when she began her training when she was eleven. Part of her wondered what her old room looked like. "But how am I supposed to pay you back?"[/color] She asked. His eyes were still glowing bright blue and it reminded her of the night of the masquerade ball again. She would always remember that night because it was the first time in a long while she felt like someone cared about her, and here she was now, feeling like that again. It was a nice feeling that she didn't want to go away. She smiled, a proper smile when he said that he hoped their friendship could develop into something more. "I think it will."[/color] She said and pressed her body against his and wrapping her arms around his neck. She rest her head on his shoulder and hugged him, enjoying his warm embrace.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

James smiles and nods pulling out a phone. He pressed a few buttons and scrolled through pictures of old.. and new houses. Mansions. Even small cottages. "One things my dad couldn't stress enough was having.. Save places. Hidden away from the world. Never understood why til I found out he was secretly an Auror. You can have your pick." he smiled sweetly and pointed to a picture of a cottage over looking the pacific ocean roses grow beatifully around the house. Its was two floors, rustic. Dark red bricks with white siding. There was a glare from a octagonal window from the hot sun. "That's one of mine. It has a direct and secert flu access from the master of games own fireplace." He smiled "Its lovely there. Its in a more private side of Ireland. Real secluded. You can see the stars at night..." He paused and kissed her hand "It's really.. Romantic if you want to be the first to come there..?" he offered and pointed to the Master of Games house. "He's not home."

He stood up pulling her with him and taking off the claok and stuffing the hankerchief back into his pocket. He put out his arm for her and smiles sweetly "SHall we?" His voice cooed out hinting to the fact he really does want her to come with him. To simply state it, he likes her. She knows his pain, and he hers. In his eyes it is like they were ment to be with each other. Maybe he had found his counterpart, the person he wanted, for a long time. But how? How could he love someone he just met? All this made his face go red and his heart pound fast. Whatever it was he felt. He liked it.

He looked around for anyone as he walked through the grass almost to the door. "Tell me something.. Do you think things happen for a reason?"

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla was actually glad that she had told someone what she had been through. Sure she had told a couple of people what had gone on in her life, but where were they? Fuck if Kayla knew. No one had helped her, not even tried. She had to deal with it all by herself, even to the point of killing her brother, that was the hardest thing she had ever had to do and she had to go through it alone. Kayla relised that she had had to do alot alone which was probably why she slept around alot. She couldn't trust anyone enough to get close and the loneliness was killing her. So she just randomly hooked up with people to atleast feel wanted, even if it was only for one night. Looking back to James he seemed different, which kind of scared her, because she was already really starting to like him and knew it could end up more, and if one more person broke her heart she didn't think she would recover. She had already tried to kill herself several times. Maybe that would be something best left shared until later.

Kayla looked at the pictures and one in particular caught her eye. It was a cottage in Ireland over looking the pacific ocean. It was amazing. She smiled softly, a proper smile this time and looked at the picture until he spoke again. "It sounds and looks amazing. I'd love to go there." Said Kayla and blushed a little as he kissed her hand. It was something she wasn't used to, being respected. She took his hand as he held it out for her and held onto his hand as they walked to the master of games house. It was a nice feeling, holding his hand, kind of comforting. She laced her fingers with his and thought about his question. She wasn't to sure, she had never thought about it really. "I don't know. I mean if everything that happened to us, what was the reason?"

[/color] Said Kayla referring to all the pain and suffering both of them have been through.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

He shrugged, his fingers now intertwined with her as he flicked his other wrist this wand popping out of seemingly no where. He waved it at the lock opening it and headed in. Looking over at Kayla, "So we can fight the in justice. Hell we could be a tag team" He snickered and pulled out a bag of red powder and threw it into the fireplace it burst open with bright white flames "It already knows where to go he said backing up into the flames as his hand slowly slide from her grips. Before he completely disappeared he winked and blew a kiss, then in a flash he was gone.

When he emerged from the other side the room was completely dark the paint paper was peeling there was blood everywhere, noises from what seems to be ghosts sounds around him. He waited for Kayla and smiled as soon as she arrived. "Welcome." He smiled sweetly as he clapped, the sounds went away the blood was sucked back into the walls, the paint was reverse and made it look almost brand new. The house completely changed, "Old parlor trick my dad taught me. The locals think its haunted so the never go near this place. No neighbors for 143 Miles of forest." He smiled as he picked up a silk robe and put it on, "Used to go here by port key but the Head Mistress took it." He laughed and spun her around smoothly now having her in his arms "What do you think love?" He smiled sweetly "We can practice here, have a spell covering this place. To the naked eye it looks abandoned and haunted still but if you know the spell it looks completely different." He took her hand and lead her to the large window located across from the fireplace. He passed a tan couch and matching love seat. A dark Walnut Table with a assorted arrangement of Wizardry books, advanced spell book, old and weathered leather bound. Even assorted books by some famous muggle writers. The area rug was big enough to cover the den area and was a dark tan color. Suddenly a large wood sounded and a white, blue eyes wolf bound towards him with a growl. James frozen in place acting like he was afraid. The wolf leaped into the air and pounce on James covering his face with slobbery "Hey hey hey" He laughed and rolled with the wolf. "Kayla meet my loyal companion Phoenix" He growled at first looking fierce but a pat from James made it all nice and smelled Kayla.

"He's been my friend for many years." He paused and looked at Phoenix "Since I was 5." He smiled and got up wiping the spit of his face. He walked over to the window with Kayla and Phoenix sitting next to James as they looked out at the starry sky. It was so clear out that day, it was almost like James planned this. He would say he did. "No city lights. No castle lights. The sky is as clear as it can be." He smiled and petted Phoenix and held Kayla's hand. "We all have scars, Kayla. But the who care who try and heal them." He paused and looked deep into Kayla's eyes "And I care." Phoenix barked and James laughed "And Phoenix too."

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla nearly laughed when he spoke about them being a team, fighting injustice. Seemed like a good idea, but they would probably end up labeled as the next Bonnie and Clyde. Kayla smirked at the idea, kinda hot, them two against the world. "Sounds like a plan."

[/color] She said jokingly. Seriously she couldn't really be getting into more trouble. She had just escaped azkaban. If they hadn't have classed her brothers murder as an act of self defense then she could have been locked up for life and she would have never have met James. Her heart seemed to beat faster when she looked at him, he was making her feel all these feeling she hadn't felt since Liam, it kind of scared her, but in a good way.

Her fingers slipped out of his hand as he stepped into the fire place. Once he had gone, Kayla stepped in and flued were they were going. To the cottage in Ireland. Kayla raised a eyebrow slightly when she saw it. It looked like a murder scene. But with a clap of his hands, everything vanished and in it's place the picture of the cottage he showed her sat in front of them. Kayla smiled. It was even better seeing it for real. "Wow."[/color] Was all Kayla could say at the moment. It was so breathtakingly beautiful. James told her that it was a parlor trick to keep people away. "So it's nice and private. That's good."[/color] She said with a slight flirtatiousness to her tone. Kayla couldn't help but not flirt with him, she really really liked him and was so glad that this cottage was private because she had a feeling things could get pretty loud, especially at night.

The next thing Kayla knew she was spun around and she sank into his arms. "It's........beautiful."[/color] She said, not really sure how else to describe the cottage. Kayla turned her head and kissed him lightly on the cheek. She wanted him to know that she appreciated everything he was doing for her, and there was alot more appreciation to come, but for now a kiss on the cheek would do. For now. James lead her into the cottage, leading her through the rooms. The next thing Kayla new a white wolf with blue eyes appeared. Kayla stepped back a little and pulled her wand out when it lept on James, but put it away when she saw him grin and pet the wolf. Kayla smiled and watched as they kind of wrestled for a bit. James introduced her to the wolf, who at first growled her but then sniffed her. Kayla bent down and allowed the wolf to smell her hand before giving it a stroke. "Hey Phoenix."[/color] She said rufffling his ears. The wolf responded by giving her a wet lick across the face.

Kayla laughed and wiped her face as she stood up and followed James to the back of the cottage. It was now dark out and the stars shone brightly. When James began talking to her again she turned and faced him, looking deep into his eyes. Her eyes tingled slightly as he said he cared about her. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about her and it broke her heart. Not in a bad way though. She smiled down at Phoenix as he barked and then looked back to James. "I care about you to. Alot."[/color] She said, lightly stroking his face with her hand. "And I can't believe your letting me stay here. I can't thank you enough and i will make it up to you."[/color] She said rambling a little as she was beginning to feel a little nervous.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

He smiled as he laid her in the grass, the moon shining brightly on them as he smiled sweetly his hand caressing her face, moving strand of hair away. "Do you want a drink" He asked as Phoenix circled and laid by Kayla licking at her hand. "I've got pretty much everything here.." He grinned evilly hinting at the liquor and wine hidden away in a cabinet.

Laying down next to her he pulled her close "Who knew that we would end up here?" He laughed and wrapped his arms around her "I ha vent felt this way.. In a long time" He blushed as he admitted it, "You are.. Perfect." He leaned in and kissed her lips softly but full of passion, "You don't have to repay me." He nodded and held her close "Knowing you are happy is good enough for me. He laughed then a coy smile crept up on his face "Unless you want to continue what you started earlier" He laughed more and pulled her on top of him both of their hands intertwined now. "We are so much alike... It scary." He paused and took a breath his mismatched eyes now meeting hers eyes, his own eyes filling with a sort of longing to be with her. "And I like it."

He kissed her lips again, lingering there for a moment and slowly back away from her face."It's either just you or the moon light or both both you are absolutely beautiful"

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla laid down with James in the grass, Phoenix close by them. She felt the wolf lick her hand, which she responded by rubbing his head. Her attention was brought back to James when he began speaking. "No thanks, I'm good."

[/color] Said Kayla looking up into his eyes. She liked the feeling of his hand brushing against her face lightly as he moved her hair out of her face. "Maybe we could drink later."[/color] She said with another cheeky grin.

Kayla was pulled into James' warm embrace. She rested her head on his shoulder and snuggled close to him as he spoke. When he told her she was perfect she couldn't help but look up at him. Did he really think she was perfect? As she looked up their lips met in and warm and passionate kiss. Kayla slowly slid her hand up the side of his neck and lightly draped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. "But I want to repay you."[/color] Said Kayla looking up at him. He then said something rather cheeky and naughty, making her laugh. She let him pull her ontop of him, Kayla got comfortable by straddling and put her hands either side of his head as she looked down at him. "Yeah we are pretty much alike."[/color] Said Kayla looking into his mismatched colored eyes, which she really liked. It was different.

They kissed again, this time the kiss lasting a little longer. Kayla couldn't help but moan slightly into the kiss. When the kiss broke, she was breathing a little heavier, but she almost stopped breathing when he told her she was beautiful, something she didn't believe. But she didn't say anything. She just kissed him again, this time not breaking the kiss allowing the kiss to get deep and passionate.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

James huffed a breath as he rolled to her side the sweat still beading in his pours. He laughed and shook his head and said "You know.. Some how that was better than anyone I have had in a while.." He smiled and kissed Kayla's cheek "Probably it was with someone I really like." He shrugged and put his boxers still on handing her his shirt eying at Phoenix chewing on Kayla's shirt "Dammit Phoenix" He swore as he took Kayla's shirt and held it up with holes "Sorry.. Ill buy you a new one" He smiled and point at the door Phoenix skulked there. He put his arm around Kayla "I want to date you." He nodded as he looked at the full moon "That will be a payment, besides I live here too" He laughed and held out a key for her. "I usually drive down to the town for food. The locals are nice there, they don't know where I live. They think I live On a boat." He smiled "All their food is grown locally. He looked at Kayla's eyes and smiled widely. His feelings starting to grow big, his heart feeling lighter, butterflies in his stomach. He was starting to fall for her. And He didn't care, he wanted this. This was meant to happen. "You know it like.. 2 in the Morning.." He paused looking at the sky relative to the position of the moon. "Oh well. If anything I'll morph into a teach and take you back to the dorm." He laughed "Nice thing about being a Metamorpangus is I can never get caught of doing wrong things." He points to the aomiroe that was big and black "It has alot of the teachers clothes" He grins "Even the females ones." He shrugs and touches his chest "Never can get used to the boobs" He placed his hand on hers "Oh well I can get used to yours" He winked playfully and relaxed in the grass. "You hungry? I can make some spaghetti if you like? Or Lobster?" He smiled and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forhead.

His stomach growled as he got up "Damn must have skipped dinner.." He groaned as his half naked body went back inside. He got into the kitchen that was fully stocked with all kinds of fresh ingredients that a spell was placed of the cabinets and fridge to keep it fresh for a long time. He eyed out the door and yelled "You wants some salad?" He asked as he pulled out some basic ingredients and a knife. "DO you mind if I smoke?" he asked as he pulled out a bottle of red wine and poured 2 glasses and took a sip of one setting the other one for her.

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla lay next to James, breathing heavily as sweat glistened on her body under the moon light. She looked over to James as he spoke and smiled. She sat up next to him and kissed him lightly one more time. "Your not too bad yourself."

[/color] She said teasing. Ofcourse he was good, really good. She had to admit he was the best she had had so far. She let him know she was teasing by giving him a slight wink. When James swore at Phoenix she looked down at him and realised he was chewing on her top for some reason. "You don't have to buy me a new one. We got wands to sort out stuff like that."[/color] Said Kayla indicating to her destroyed top. She didn't really mind though. It wasn't like it was her favourite top. Kayla pulled on James top with was pretty baggy on her, but it covered all the appropriate areas.

Kayla sunk into him as he wrapped a arm around her and rested her head on his shoulder. "You wanna date me?"[/color] She said it as though she was a little surprised. Which she kind of was. All the guys she had been with in the past had fed her a load of bullshit and then fucked off. But it seemed as though James was genuine about her, which was different and she liked it. Kayla looked up at him "Ok, just nothing to big, atleast not to begin with anyway."[/color] Said Kayla laughing a little. She was afraid to be dating anyone, but the least she could do was give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't just going to drop her like everyone else had. He had put a roof over her head and seemed to really care about her and even if she wouldn't admit it to herself yet she really cared about him aswell.

James told her about the town which sounded amazing. He then proceeded to talk alot. Kayla didn't know if it was because he was nervous or what, but she didn't interupt him. She followed him into the house and leaned against one of the counters as he asked if she was hungry. She was, now she thought about it. "Lobster? You know how to make Lobster?"[/color] Asked Kayla impressed. She had never had lobster before but had always wanted to try it. It looked delicious. He then offered her salad which she liked but she wasn't a girl who wasn't afraid to eat infront of a guy. "No thank you. I'm not one of those girls who only eats a salad infront of a guy. If I'm hungry I'm gunna eat a proper meal."[/color] She said laughing a little. He asked if she minded if he smoked which she didn't so she shook her head, letting him know she didn't mind. "Thank you."[/color] She said after a little while. She had already said it, but she felt like she had to say it again. Words would never be enough for what he had done for her tonight, but it was a start.[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

James smiled as she asked the question "Well I think dating you is only appriate" He smiled as he pulled out a giant pot tapping his wand filling it with water. He put the lobster on the stove "Of course. My G=Father had a theory, if a man can cook then the women will love you.:" He paused as he dropped some oil and squeezed some lemon wedges into the pot throwing them in a trash can, "Granted the dates I usually go on don't even GO to dinner" he laughed and sipped some of the wine phoenix skulking back with a pair of jeans and a tank top. He put on the pants and the tank top. "No. You don't have to." He said waving away the thank you, "I'm doing what should be done to you. Having someone to care." He smiled as he gazed into her eyes "Here" He smiled pushing the wine to her "It's a 1907 Heidsieck. 175,000 British Pounds" He snickered "Tastes lovely.. But I wouldn't go for the price" He shrugged "Happiness is gain not bought" He shrugged as he put the bottle down by her too look at "Has a nice history that." He said going back to the lobster, now making some Alfredo for the side dish. "Was lost in a ship wreck to the muggle Russian Imperial Family in 1916, one whole shipment gone. In 1997 it was found by a diver my father had bought 15 bottles. We have about 7 left." He smiled as he mixed in the Alfredo sauce.

He sat down at the black marble top island in the middle of the kitchen. He sat with his hands on his face "What do you plan to do when we graduate?" He asked curiously as the lobster dinged. He used a spell to lift the Lobsters out and another to plat everything and float it to the table. He winked as forks fly out of the drawer and slide into the Alfredo. "Bon appetit" he laughed quoting his childhood friend E. He took his fork and took a fork full of Alfredo and put it into his mouth. As always his culinary skills proved to be exsiite.

[Kayla Sommers]

Kayla sat on a chair in the kitchen as James began to cook. She smiled as he spoke about dating her. It was going to be new to her and she was actually quite excited about going on dates with James. That would explain the butterflies in her stomach that seemed to flutter like crazy when he looked at her and smiled like that. She laughed a little about the comment he said his grandfather used to say. "Ah so this is all a sham to get me to fall in love with you."

[/color] She teased. Although she had a funny feeling she was already falling for him. She should keep that to herself for now. Phoenix came padding into the kitchen, he was holding some clothing that he gave to James. She then gestured for phoenix to come over which he did and sat right next to Kayla, leaning against her leg. Kayla began stroking Phoenix and looked back to James when he began speaking again. "I've never been really taken on a date so yeah i have no experience to speak from on that."[/color] She said, her hands still running through Phoenix's thick fur.

It was nice to have someone care for her and look after. She was beginning to feel safe for the first time in seven years. Kayla smiled up at him as he walked over and offered her a glass of wine. "Yeah well I want to thank you. I really appreciate everything that you have done for me tonight. You didn't have to."[/color] She said. Kayla didn't want him to think she was ungrateful for what he had done for her and she would spend as much time as she could making it up to him, even if he didn't want her to. She took a sip of the wine and if she was honest it was the best wine she had ever tasted. "It's delicious."[/color] She said and took a little longer sip then resting the glass on the table. When he told her the price of the wine she could have choked on it. "175,000 pound! Porra!."[/color] She said, her Portugese accent coming in strong. Kayla was only half Portugese, on her mothers side and she was quite good at speaking Portguese, practically fluent. "That's cool. Your family seems pretty awesome."[/color] She said when he spoke about the history of the wine.

The question he asked got her thinking, what did she plan on doing once they graduated. Kayla picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Well, she had planned to become an auror but that went out the window. Raising her eyebrows slightly and setting the glass back down on the counter she shrugged a little. "I don't know. What I had planned didn't work out, so I don't know."[/color] Said Kayla feeling maybe a little ashamed. The next minute the lobster was done and within a few seconds there was cutlery laid on the table. It smelled so good that she thought her mouth was actually watering. "Merci"[/color] She said and then took a bite of the Alfredo. It tasted as though a professional had made it. "You should be a chef. Incase your wondering what to do once you graduate."[/color] She said taking another bite of the Alfredo, she then began to break off the tough skin(whatever it is lol).[/blockquote]

[James Philius Haden]

He flicked his finger at a radio and it started to play classical music. Mozart. Much to everyones surprised he is alot more.. Sophisticated than he let on. Kayla is the only one that would know that. besides his close friends. He took another bit of the alfredo and smiled "No no." He laughed slightly "Not a sham. I have a feeling you alreado do." He smiled and took her hand in his.

"No. I see.. ALot of my self in you.." He nodded and refrained from saying 'literally.', "It does scare me but... It seems to be comforting. I hate having a facade like my fathers death doesnt bug me." He paused and twined thier fingers together, "And Im tired of one night stands. As fun as they are I want someone to wake up to you know?" He paused and finished his alfredo, now working on the delcious lobster. "I swear if it weren't for my nutty childhood friends I wouldn't be sane. "He laughed and pointed to a picture of 3 little kids "Left is E.. Er Etienne he's another one of the Ravenclaw 7th years. French. Think's he is charming" He laughed "Middle is me and the little girl is none other than the head girl of Ravenclaw Lace. Lace and I go way back. We lived together for a while." He smiled "Aaah listen to me ramble" He said blushing a bit, his leg shaking nervously. Why was he nervously? He wondered that himself as he threw Phoenix a bit of his lobster. "Damn its late" He said as he notices the sun rise creeping. The horizon red and beautiful, it rose slowly reflecting off the ocean "Wow. As many years as Ive been comming here that never gets old." He stands up taking his plate to the sink do te cleaning for him "Should we go the the castle or stay here? I mean we ARE off , so no classes" He pased for a moment thinking.

[Kayla Sommers]

With a flick of his finger the radio came on and classical music began to play. She wouldn't have thought that would be something that James would be into, but you can't judge a book by it's cover. Kayla laughed a little and didn't respond to what he said. Not because she wanted to admit that she kind of did, but she wanted to keep him guessing. James then leaned over and took her hand in his. Kayla let him, glancing down at their hands and then looked back up at him.

As James spoke she realised that they had had a similar past. Both had slept around, one night stands or fuck buddies. At the time Kayla hadn't realised but what she had been looking was something more than a quick lay. She was lonely and had been for a long time. "Yeah I know what you mean."

[/color] Said Kayla as he laced their fingers together. One night stands were only fun for so long. Eventually you end up wanting more and that is what Kayla wanted. A proper relationship where she felt loved and cared for. James pointed to a picture of him and two others. One a boy and one a girl. Etienne sounded like a total flirt, probably alot like James, Kayla smiled at the thought of the two of them, no girl stood a chance. He told her about Lace. Kayla knew Lace, sort of. She was head girl of Ravenclaw after all and that was pretty much all Kayla knew about her.

"Lived together huh? So you three still as close as you guys were back then?"[/color] Asked Kayla as she finished the Alfredo. Kayla wouldn't admit to him but she was a little worried about the fact James and Lace had lived together. Maybe they had dated, and if that were true what if they got back together? Kayla wanted to ask more about his and Lace's past but she didn't want to show him just how paranoid she could be. She was sure he would figure that out in his own time anyway. Kayla still held James hand with her free hand as she began to eat the lobster. That was even better than the Alfredo which she didn't think was possible. Kayla smiled as James blushed which she thought was cute. "No it's ok, I like hearing about your past and everything. I mean if we're gunna live here then we kinda need to know more about each other."[/color] Said Kayla as James threw Phoenix abit of lobster.

Kayla hadn't actually realised that they had been up all night until James mentioned the sun rise. She turned and looked out the window. It was amazing, especially with the see view. "Wow is right."[/color] She said and finished off her lobster. She walked with James, carrying her plate over to the sink. "We can stay here if you want. I mean this place is amazing and after living at the school for seven years it will be a nice change of scenery."[/color] Said Kayla looking up at him. right now Kayla felt very happy, something she hadn't been for a very long time. Kayla placed the plate down on the counter stepped forward and taking James' face in her hands she leaned up and kissed him deeply. Her thumbs lightly caressed his face as she kissed him and then slowly broke the kiss.[/blockquote]
