Staring into the soapy water that she had created, she narrowed her eyes, focusing her attention on some of the bits of grime stuck to the pan for a moment, but it came off with relative ease. Of course it would, the pans that she had gotten for James were non-stick to allow him free creative range for cooking. Finishing one, she rinsed it and put it on the rack nearby to dry and started scrubbing at the next one, when she heard footsteps behind her. Tensing slightly, her grip on the pan and sponge tightened.

James eased the sponge out of her grip, and she puffed out her cheeks, making a small noise of displeasure. [color=0072bc][b]“I was using that James,”[/b][/color] She sighed, moving to grab it again when she felt his arms around her waist, pulling her back against his chest. Her cheeks flushed slightly at the sudden move, and she let go of the pan, it falling back into the water with a gentle plop. [color=0072bc][b]“What is it? Was it what I said? Listen I already said it was ridiculous so—“[/b][/color] She gave pause, feeling his chin on her shoulder and him accusing her of being jealous. 

Her eyes went wide. [color=0072bc][b]“J-J-Jealous?! Me?! Wh…Why would I need to be jealous?!”[/b][/color] She sneered, clearing her throat a few times. She could practically hear him smiling. [color=0072bc][b]“It’s not funny!”[/b][/color] Freya whined, curling her fingers into small fists. [color=0072bc][b]“Who cares if…they’re all ‘Ooh, look at James!’ or ‘He’s so hot, ohmahgosh’, or – or here’s a riot! ‘He’s a wonder in the kitchen—‘ Okay that one is true, I-I mean not to say that you’re not…attractive…I just…[/b][/color]” 

She was digging a small hole for herself, it seemed. “I don’t…” Her gaze fell and she managed to turn to face him. [color=0072bc][b]“I don’t like the way they look at you! Molly hardly cared about helping with the midterms! I mean – did you see how she was dressed? I was cold for her! And…And…”[/b][/color] Freya gently bit her bottom lip, her arms moving to rest at James’ hips.[b] “…I don’t know.”[/b] She gave a small defeated sigh. [color=0072bc][b]“I just...if nothing else is good about leaving, I’ll have you to myself, and be away from the peering eyes of all those…girls.”[/b][/color] She huffed, raising her arms to fold them over her chest.
