James actually spent the night at Freya’s house, he stayed in his mistress’s house; much less held her in his arms the whole night. Adrian was going to throw a fit when/if he found out about this, but James didn’t really care. It’s was Freya asked for and as her butler, he would do what she asked whether it was within their code of conduct or not. But, deep down inside, he wanted to stay outside of his job. He would have said yes despite his position.

Something echoed in his ears and caused James to stir from his deep slumber. He let out a small moan when he heard his name but it took a moment for him to realize who’s voice was calling to him. His blue eyes flickered opened, seeing that Freya was now facing him. His fine lips moved into a small tired smile, “Good morning…” He said softly as he loosened his grip on her and stretched his long arms above his head.

Slowly he sat up and pulled the cover off of them. “You go to the bathroom and I’ll start breakfast.” He said with a soft yawn before getting to his feet and offering her his hand.

Her sniffles were both sad and adorable. It should be illegal for her to be so darn cute whenever she does anything. Then, he asked her the one question he wasn’t expecting, she wanted him to stay with her for the night. As her butler, he wasn’t supposed to do something like that, much less be this close to her. It was against their code, but he was off the clock right now and helping her as a friend… right?

“I’ll do anything for you.” James responded without truly thinking it through but as she drifted off to sleep in his arms, he felt his head drop, resting against hers. Their breathings soon matched and James also drifted off to sleep.

Sometime during the night the two ended up laying down on the couch, James’ arm wrapped around her waist holding her close and his face rested gently against her back as they spooned on the couch under the blanket. For once in his life, James had an incredible night sleep.

A small sigh left him as she began to cry. That creeps actions hurt her more than he had expected and now he felt bad. Every tear that rolled down her cheek made his heart ache. He sighed again, this time slowly letting her go and leading her by her hand to the couch. Sitting down he didn’t give her a moment to think before he pulled her onto his lap and wrapped an arm around her waist while the other grabbed a nearby blanket. Tossing the blanket over her and then wrapped his arms around her pulling her to his chest.

His right hand rubbed her back and his left hand rested against her head guiding it to rest on his shoulder. “It’s okay. I’m here for you, you’re fine. There’s no reason to think about what would have happened if I wasn’t here because I was.” His voice was soft and reassuring in the silent room. “Cry as much as you need to Freya, I’m here for you.” His hand returned to gently stroking her head.

Alex turned into a complete slob and through the movie, James took his spot behind Freya as the apartment rang with the sound of the movie and everyone watched it. Alex was being a total slob and James couldn’t help smirk. Not only was he mad about being cut off but he was also jealous of James and his ability to ‘sweep’ Freya off her feet. Ha ha ha. To this his lips curled up in a small smirk. But he stayed professional, refilling drinks and making sure that Freya didn’t run out of suckers.

When the two finally left; Alex obviously in a huff and Dianne in a polite fashion which he bowed in response to her complements and thanks. During the movie, his pocket watch did chime but he didn’t remove his gloves; he wasn’t going to lose his professionalism in front of other people. When the door finally shut he removed his gloves and began to help pick up the living room. Alex was such a slob but he was just proving James’ point of how he wasn’t the best out there.

When she said she would clean up he shook his head. “No I’ll help…” But it wasn’t until she apologized for scaring him that he realized just how uncomfortable she actually was with the whole situation. A small sigh left him as he put down the remainder of the pillows and walked back to her. Taking the empty bowls from her he placed them down on the coffee tabled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. One bare hand rested gently on her back while the other slowly stroked her head. “I’m sorry for the way I react Freya, you just… didn’t look comfortable, and I couldn’t stand for that.”

Maybe Alex wasn’t such a bad guy, he beat James to collecting the dishes and gave him a polite thank you. Maybe James really was thinking of this too hard. It was a bit of surprise not to have them question her about having a butler in such a small apartment, they were being polite and he could appreciate that. When he arrived back into the living room the talk turned to watching a movie and when Alex mentioned a horror movie, James’ dark blue eyes moved to Freya to see her reaction. There was no mystery that she wasn’t a fan of horror movies but fact that she was watching one sitting next to this Alex-guy made his blood began to boil once more. She should be sitting with…

He nodded to her request of blankets and left the living room though he really didn’t want to. He gathered three blankets and a couple comfortable pillows. He had just arrived to the living room when he heard the scream and he was gone before the blanket and pillows hit the floor. When he hurried into the kitchen he saw something he really didn’t want to see... Alex had his hands on her.

Keeping as calm of a face as he could he walked towards Freya and without warning, he scooped his arms under her legs and caught her back, holding her bridal style like she weighed nothing. “Miss please don’t do something so risky.” He said in a slightly lecturing tone before turning on his heel and carrying her to the living room. “This is why you have me. I am here to make your life easier.” He could feel what he could only figure was invisible daggers being shot into his back from the other male in the house but he didn’t care.

He placed Freya gently down onto the chair and tossed a blanket over her before she could move. Then he presented her with a fluffy pillow and the control to look through the movies on Netflix. “Honored guests.” He said turning to Dianne and Alex who entered the living room. “Please feel free to make yourself comfortable, the Miss will find a movie and I will prepare the snacks.” With that he presented them each with a blanket and a pillow and gave them a small bow before walking into the kitchen, grinning the whole way as he foiled Alex’s original plan to get cozy with his Miss during the movie.

So, he decided that ignoring her hand to help him up was a better idea. Julia looked down at her hand as if to check to see if there was anything on it that would cause him to turn her down. Shrugging to herself, she pulled her white t-shirt down over her blue jeans and kicked her white tennis shoes against the ground. “Sorry where I come from I don’t run through a portal very often. Much less get thrown into a whole new world.” Hopefully the question wouldn’t arise of why she was running but hey, she’ll cross that bridge when they arrived.

“Well Inane.” She said stepping in front of him to get his attention. “I do, and apparently I know more than you do right now so if you could try to talk to me like a partner instead of an annoying tag along. I’ll fill you in when we get there. We’re not too far away.” Her head rose and fell with a nod as she stepped past him and started off in a direction. As Julia walked, she did her best not to be too distracted with the sights and sounds of New York City but her attention span was obviously not very long because she would start to look around before realizing it and shaking her head. She had to stay focused, focus!

They arrived at a rundown broken building that few people rented out. Beat up parked cars out front and a rusty looking elevator. Climbing inside she stuck one of the two sets of keys into start up. She typed in a number saying it out loud. “1876” With that she hit the up button and the elevator began to climb to the top of the run down building. At the top, she pulled open the door and pulled out her elevator key. Down the hall they went and she stopped at the door at the end of the hallway.

Tossing the spare set of keys over her shoulder towards Inane she looked over at him with a grin. “This will be our home base while we work. Welcome to your home on earth.” With that she opened the door to reveal the apartment. The apartment had a gorgeous view of the city, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a massive kitchen and the living room and dining room area. “For once he didn’t put giant statues of himself everywhere, that’s nice.” The blonde said with a nod before walking to the living room and sitting down on the couch.

Opening her backpack she pulled out some files and opened them setting them on the coffee table. “So here’s what I have, take a look.”

James was excited for Freya to come home. He could feel something bubbling inside him, seeing her just made him feel happy, relaxed and like himself; even when he had to remain professional. His ears twitched as he heard a sound at the door and proceeded to it to await her arrival but the sound on the other side of the door dropped his heart to his stomach. Was that… a man’s voice?

The door opened to reveal that she was accompanied by two other individuals. One was a young lady and the other was a man. Though his greeting was a simple hello and nod, James greeted the new people as a butler should but any time he wasn’t in eye contact with the young man, his lips dropped ever-so slightly into a frown of disapproval. He left the three to talk in the living room as he disappeared back into the kitchen to finish dinner. The laughter and chatter from the living room made his heart ache, especially when Freya would laugh at something Alex said. It made his stomach turn and a look of disapproval appear across his normally straight face. Was he, jealous?

Emerging from the kitchen he had three plates laid gently out on a tray. “Dinner is served.” He announced as he entered into the living room and began to place the perfectly prepared plates in front of everyone. “Tonight is Beef Wellington with fried vegetables.” After giving everyone their food he hesitated for a moment before bowing quickly at their ‘thank you’s and disappearing into the kitchen. Placing his hands on the counter and stared down at it; she was sitting next to him… next to that, guy who was checking her out at every chance he got!

His hands ripped onto the counter. The look on that man’s face was anything but respectful; his mind was elsewhere and wanting to take advantage of Freya in more ways than one. James felt his blood begin to boil the more he thought about it. That wasn’t right. Freya was a beautiful woman who deserved respect and that Alex-guy was looking at her like she was a piece of meat. And if he found out whom her father was there was no limit to how much that man could try to use her… His whole body paused, his rational side taking over as he looked down at his balled up fists. He had no idea what Alex’s actual intentions were, he was blowing it completely out of proportion and building the young man up to look like a bad guy when he didn’t know him. A long soft sigh left James as he claimed himself down. He had no room to judge this young man but… he couldn’t help but admit to himself that he was jealous.

James spent most of his school time taking notes in class. Though when he in his final class he couldn’t help but notice that he was the only guy in his final class. His body curled slightly in his chair and his cheeks turned pink at the sudden attention. His phone buzzed which caught his eye and he couldn’t help but grin; apparently the grin was enough to deter quite a bit of the women in his class. Something about the smile on his face said that A] the text was from a woman and B] it was a woman who was important.

You can text me while I’m at work too, my boss is pretty cool about it. He couldn’t help but chuckle at his stupid little joke before continuing on with his text. There’s a flee market that goes on Saturdays with people who sell locally grown foods and local crafts. I think you’d really like it. With that he hit sent on his phone and went back to focus on class.

The day climbed to an end and James was back to her apartment dressed and preparing dinner for her and restocked her suckers.
