Tina sighed, watching Jamesâ sleeping face. Maybe she was being kind of silly, but it was nice seeing him sleeping peacefully. It was nice having a moment to just look at him without being seen herself, and to wish that things were always this calm. She didnât have time to process that thought any further before James stirred and pulled her in close. A giggle escaped her lips, and she shifted so that the nuzzling was easier for them both. Without thinking much of it, the hand she had used to shake his shoulder went to his face, where she ran a thumb over his cheekbone. A sort of comfort to herself, more than anything, to keep the calm while it was still there.
That whole pulling James up about buying her a star for her birthday idea went out the window at his sleepy question, and she decided to make a game of it instead. (She would pull him up, but there wasnât much point when he was half in the land of nod.) She shifted again so that she was close to his ear.
âNo, itâs Abraham Lincoln,â Tina began, a tease lingering on the edge of her voice. âYes. Itâs me. TinaâĻ. Why do you think Iâm here?â she asked softly. Now seemed the best chance of finding out if he had known her birthday from the start and had just been playing coy the whole time.
James was still half asleep when her soft touches making him content and happy. Safe. It felt safe to be touched like this. It wasn't with a hunger he recalled from his clients. It was gentle, caring almost. It gave him a tingling sensation in his stomach. It made him feel sherished.
Reality had it that James did not know her birthdate. Even though he desperately wanted to figure it out. Her friends however had the habit of not really liking him. Pirate this, pirate that - in the end it didn't help him at all. He was far from figuring it out and he had gifts prepared till the end of this month. The last being an island she could take Tobias and Peter to. Him as well if that was what she wanted. He'd follow her everywhere if he could.
A smile crossed on his lips as she told him it was her, and she asked him a question he didn't really know the answer to. "Because you wanted to see me?" His lips curled into a soft smirk. "Or do you plan to have another meeting." He teased.
He moved to make himself more comfortable. Pulling her on top of him as Anne had been doing for the last couple of days. Relaxing into her heartbeat and feeling nothing but the weight of her body on his.
"Either way I am happy to see you,Tina." Everyone who would hear James speak would know those words were genuine. Overflowing with love for this woman. As if she was the water offered to him while having spend days in a desert.
He found himself carassing her hair, sparkling eyes and soft smiles. If only he could have her forever like this.
He'd do anything for that fantasy to become a reality.
