James was relentless as always with his teasing towards her with that know-it-all smile of his. She felt like he was taking his time removing his butler jacket and gloves as he simply shrugged off the incredibly dangerous thing he just did. It wasn't like James to simply toss his attire aside with little to no care about where it was going, and she opened her mouth to protest, before she found her eyes watching him as he removed his shirt as well. Feeling her cheeks grow hot, her eyes widened. W-Was he...serious? As he leaned down and gazed into her eyes, she felt her heart race. Nodding slowly, she couldn't stop her mind from running through all different scenarios, some more embarrassing than she would care to admit. Freya shivered lightly as his breath danced on her ear. Looking up at him, she could almost pinch herself. A shy smile graced her lips and she gently took James' free hand. [color=0072bc][b]"I can't think of anything better."[/b][/color] She whispered, leaning up to meet his lips and laced their fingers. She would definitely go through parties every evening if it meant that she got to spend the evening enjoying the company of her boyfriend. James had been standing all evening, so Freya pulled back and gently led him over to the bed. Once he removed his shoes she pulled him onto the plush sheets. Tugging the warm blanket up, she had him lie on his side and moved her arm to gently cup his cheek, claiming his lips again. It sent flutters through her entire body. She was going to take full advantage that she had James to herself for the evening. Full advantage to catch up on missed kisses and sweet words of affection towards the young man who had been so wonderful towards her in all aspects. After some time, she yawned and settled in, letting her delicate fingers weave through Jame's soft dark blue strands. [color=0072bc][b]"In case...you're gone before I wake..."[/b][/color] The sleepy young woman let her leg gently link with one of James' as she nuzzled into his bare chest, more than content with the radiating warmth of his skin.[color=0072bc][b] "..You're the best boyfriend."[/b][/color] She breathed out, letting herself be lulled to sleep. In the morning, James was already gone as to be expected. She gently laid her hand on the empty space beside her and gave a soft sigh. She had mixed emotions about him not being next to her in the morning. He did had a job to do, and that had to take priority over her own personal feelings for the time being. Taking a few moments to pull a nearby pillow to her chest and relish in James' scent for a moment longer, she decided she did have to actually get ready for the day. Washing away yesterday, she emerged from the bathroom and looked through her closet. Settling on something [url=http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/qvli3j-l-610x610-skirt-plaid-pleated-tumblr-pastel-tennis+skirt-pleated+skirt-aesthetic-tumblr+art+hoe-purse-jacket-alternative-pale-pale+grunge-grunge-soft+grunge-high+waisted+skirt-shirt-cardigan.jpg] comfortable and cute[/url], Freya sat in front of her mirror, gently brushing out her hair and pulled it into a simple braid that she tied a cream ribbon on the end, and headed downstairs. Yawning, she still was trying to fully wake up. Whatever was cooking smelled amazing. It didn't take the young woman long to arrive at the dining table where her father sat, greeting her with a warm smile. Happy to see her father's face, she gave him a small hug and couldn't help feeling a bit guilty about simply taking a seat nearby as she had still not told her father about how the nature of her relationship with James had changed. [b]"So, Freya. I trust you had a good time with the party last night?"[/b] [color=0072bc][b]"Oh, yes. I wouldn't nearly have been as calm without everyone's help. I'm looking quite forward to getting to work with the future heirs and keeping these relationships as strong as I can."[/b][/color] She smiled softly. A bit of small talk went between them, and her father brought up that she would need to start keeping records and having a sharp eye for her future business partners. [b]"If you have questions about anything, I'm more than happy to answer them. However, in the event that I cannot Adrian should be more than able to give you advice as well. James should also have some expertise there. We are all here to help you grow into the successful young woman you're going to be. Seeking help is almost as important as collecting knowledge."[/b] Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, the two decided to end their conversation. After all, breakfast was still a time for everyone to come to their senses and heavy talk like that wouldn't end up sitting correctly with either of them later.
