A laugh escaped him at her words as he pulled her closer. Using his free hand he tilted her chin back before kissing her deeply. He didn’t pull away until he knew they both need air, leaning his forehead against hers while they both caught their breath. “I’m pretty positive that I have the same person in mind. Or else we might have some problems.” He told her with a grin. Hearing that she wanted a baby with him someday made him want to take her right now and start practicing to make that happen. If it had been anyone else hearing them say they wanted children with him would have made him panic, not because he didn’t want children, but because most people would say they hadn’t been together long enough to even be thinking about them. But with Rayne things were just different and he felt good talking about these things and loved thinking about his future with her and loved knowing that she too though about things to come. “I can imagine that. Little bitty you laid up on a bed surrounded by comic books.” He smiled and ran his fingers through her hair.  James had never felt more at ease and content than he did right now in this very moment, with Rayne in his arms, in an environment that he could relax in. “A very perfect fit.” He said softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead as he held her close.

She would never get used to that. The feelings that exploded throughout her body every time that his lips touched her skin. Every second that he kissed her, it was like fire just built up inside of her until it was ready to burst out of her. She barely even noticed the fact that she was running out of air until he had slowly pulled away from her. Oh how she wished that they didn’t need air when he was kissing her so thoroughly. It took a moment for her to recover and for his words to sink in, but when they did, it brought a huge smile to her face. It was so, so reassuring to hear that he was feeling the same things that she was. That he was just as interested as having a future with her as she was with him. God, she had no idea how she had gotten so lucky. Maybe it was her terrible childhood finally trying to balance itself out with the most amazing man in the world. No matter what though, she wasn’t going to take him for granted. She let out a little laugh at him before pulling him slightly closer to her. “And you know how I love to avoid problems. Not to mention, I hate to break this to you, but I really don’t think I’d do so great with sharing you if you didn’t want to have a baby with me someday.” Rayne teased him, tugging on his shirt slightly with a smirk. “Oh, you know it. There would be so many comic books. Not to mention posters on the wall of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the whole gang.” Rayne admitted, closing her eyes slightly in relaxation as the image filled her mind. After a few seconds, she spoke up. “You know, I want to met your family and see the rest of the house, but this is ridiculously comfortable, and I don’t want to leave here either. This is such a dilemma.”

He wasn’t completely sure why he had been so anxious to show her his bedroom. Even though there wasn’t much too it; it just seemed so personal and letting people see pieces of himself he didn’t let others see made him nervous. Things were different with Rayne though, he should have known that. But he couldn’t help that little bit of self-doubt he always had. James grinned at her, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. “Definitely have someone in mind for that.” He answered, an image of her pregnant with his baby flashing through his mind. As she snuggled closer to him he relaxed, not realizing just how tense he had been. Though being at home was usually a comfort to him, introducing someone new to his family was something a little out of his comfort zone. He knew now though that there was absolutely nothing to be worried about, his family was going to love her and just being in her arms made him feel better. “As depressing as it sounds this was where I spent most of my time so I wanted it to be a place that made me feel most comfortable. The furniture is very comfortable though.” He said, bringing her over to the couch and pulling her down onto it with him.

There was a huge smile on her face as he kissed her lips and her heart just felt so ridiculously full at his words. “Mhmm, I really hope that it’s the same person that I have in mind, because I know that person would love to have a baby with you someday.” She spoke up. God, she knew how crazy this would sound to anyone else, but with James it felt right. She didn’t mind telling him these things. If there was one thing she felt with James it was that she could be honest with him. The more time she spent with him, the more she was realizing how true that was. She knew that it wouldn’t scare him away, especially if he was feeling the same way that she was, which apparently, he was. Just realizing once again how much he liked her had her body relaxing even more. Not to mention just being with him helped her focus back on him and not on her nerves. “It doesn’t sound depressing. If I had a room, trust me I would have been held up there at all times reading or something.” Rayne said as she settled on the couch. She closed her eyes with a sigh, a little smile on her face as she did, enjoying the couch before looking over at him. “It is very comfortable, but like I said, I have a better couch.” She grinned, moving a leg over to sit in his lap. She rested her hands against his chest, resting her head on his shoulder. “See? Perfect fit.” Rayne mumbled, sighing in contentment. 

[jamesonmathers]

James hadn’t shown many girls around his house, but with Rayne there was an excitement he couldn’t explain about showing her around. He had a lot of memories in this house, some of them not so good, but some that were great as well. And though he knew that just being in the house she wouldn’t know all that had happened to him here but it felt as if he was letting her in on an intimate part of himself. “True. I’m sure I’ll be the same may with my own grandkids someday.” He said, grinning over at her and bringing her hand up to his lips. James knew it was a little strange but he had never really let people into his room before. When he was growing up when he had friend over they would always spend their time in the game room or the media room. His OCD had been way worse as a kid and his room was his safe place that he only allowed a select few into. So it was strange seeing Rayne standing in his room, looking at all his old thing, but it felt right and he liked seeing her in this space. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “There’s not much too it, but I guess that’s why I always liked it. It wasn’t overwhelming.”

[raynesanders]

She couldn’t help but wonder how many other girls had seen his room. Had been in this same spot as her, wrapped in his arms. She knew it couldn’t have been many, and it made her feel special that he cared enough about her to show her something so personal to him. People that didn’t know James would probably think it was one of the most boring rooms that they had ever seen, but for Rayne, everywhere she looked she saw signs of him, and Rayne really did love it. She smiled a little at his words, and tried really hard not to blush. “Oh, grandkids, huh? You know you need kids first for that, right? Got anyone in mind for that?” She teased, hoping she wasn’t overstepping as she tried to sound casual, but she couldn’t help it. Not when she was just thinking about the same subject moments before. Rayne smiled softly up at him as he kissed her forehead and she cuddled into his chest, nuzzling her nose into his shirt. “I like it. It definitely seems like you. It’s really calming, and all the furniture looks super comfortable.” She admitted with a little laugh. “Not as comfortable as you of course, but still.” Rayne said. 

[jamesonmathers]

James let out a laugh as he squeezed Rayne’s hand.  “Yeah I guess you’re right. Newborns are pretty cute.” He told her before saying goodbye to the kids and watched as they left the room before pulling Rayne towards the stairs. “The house has been changed a bit since I lived here. They put in a huge game room for the kids that I’m honestly really jealous of. Apparently the grandkids are more important.” He teased as they reached the top of the landing. Just being in this house made James feel at ease, but having Rayne with him made him even more relaxed. “Come on I’ll show you my room first.” He told her as he lead her down the familiar hallway and then into his old room. The room was large, half the room set up with big comfy chairs and a couch to match. The other half his bedroom furniture, all of it looking clean and hardly touched, much like everything else James owned. The only proof in the room that he had ever been there were the model cars that he had always loved. “It’s boring I know, but this is it.”

[raynesanders]

Rayne followed him up the stairs excitedly. She really was looking forward to seeing the place that James grew up. She already felt so connected to him, getting to see this place and learn more about him, she felt that getting to know him even more would just make their relationship even better. Not only that, but she was eager to actually see a place where someone grew up since she had never had that. “Of course the grandkids are more important. Isn’t the whole purpose of grandkids to be spoiled.” She teased, squeezing his hand slightly as they made their way into his room. Rayne looked around the room, taking in absolutely everything she could, from the comfortable looking chairs to the extremely clean furniture until her eyes settled on the model cars. She made her way over to them, smiling softly at the obviously well cared for condition they were in. Oh yes, this room definitely screamed, “James”. She turned back around to face him and smiled, wrapping her arms around her boyfriend. “It’s not boring. It’s yours. How could it ever be boring?” 

[jamesonmathers]

James was slightly glad when his mother walked away to join his sisters in the kitchen, getting a break from the fear of her telling Rayne all his embarrassing stories. He glanced around slightly wondering where his father was before focusing back on his nieces and little brother. Jameson knew of course that he wasn’t supposed to have favorites and he didn’t really but the little one in his arms he most definitely had a soft spot in his heart for. She was the sweetest little slow he had ever seen and his heart melted when she placed her little hand on his neck and grinned widely at him. He kissed the little girls nose then looked over at Rayne, smiling as she greeted the kids, them loving the attention she was giving them. At her question he laughed softly and took her hand, kissing her fingers, which was awarded with some giggles from the kids. “Well my oldest sister had a baby right before I moved to Besame and I haven’t seen him in a while so maybe he’s not as adorable?” He said jokingly. James set down the little girl in his arms and interlaced his fingers with Rayne’s, “Want me to show you around before meeting the rest of the family?”

[raynesanders]

Even though most of Rayne’s attention was focused on James’s little nieces and brother, she couldn’t help but let some of her attention be focused on James and the little girl in his arms. Seeing her with James just sent up a whole new mess of feelings inside of her. She could only see them for a brief moment, but she could tell that this little girl was as smitten with James as she was, and he loved her just as much. Rayne had to fight back a little sweet pout as the little girl touched him and James kissed her nose. God she wanted to have kids with this man someday. He would make such a good dad. Except for the whole messy thing. The only thing that distracted her was him taking her hand, her face immediately flushing at the romantic gesture that sent heat through her whole body as he gently kissed her fingers, ignoring the giggles from the children in front of her. “Oh, come on, newborns are almost always totally adorable.” Rayne replied, smiling softly at him as he entwined their fingers, relaxing slightly at the comforting sensation. “Oh, please. I want to see where little James grew up.” She said, tugging him towards her excitedly.

[jamesonmathers]

James never expected these kinds of feelings he would have seeing Rayne talking to his mother. It was like the missing piece so to speak, it made everything feel so much more real and kind of complete though he thought that was a strange thing for him to think. But his family was so important to him and Rayne had become so incredibly important to him too and seeing them now interacting together made him so happy. Especially seeing the way his mother smiled at her. He could always tell when his mother didn’t like someone. She was never obvious about it of course but he had always been able to tell, but right now he could see how much she seemed to like her already and when his mom smiled at him, he could see how happy for him she was. James returned Rayne’s smile, having to fight back the urge to place a kiss to her lips. He blushed slightly though when his mother laughed. “That is very, very smart of you to not let him cook, because let me assure you it is not safe, unless you just really want a reason to have to remodel your kitchen.” She said, grinning at James. He felt a little relieved when his mother left the room without telling Rayne of the time they actually did have to remodel their kitchen because of him. He had yet to tell let her know the complete full extent of his cooking failures. James wanted to show Rayne around the house but since they now had a bunch of little guest he knew he’d have to wait. “Well this is my little brother Jacoby.” He said, ruffling the littles boy’s hair. “And these two are Naomi’s little girls Ainsley and Bella. And then this little bitty one is Nevaeh. She’s Freya’s daughter. Guys this is Rayne.” He told her picking up the littlest girl in the group. The kids all rushed to say hi to her.

[raynesanders]

Her eyebrows raised slightly when James’s mother mentioned that she might have to remodel her kitchen if she let James cook. “Well, the kitchen I’m cooking mostly in is his, so I definitely don’t want to have to remodel that. Probably because I couldn’t afford it with how nice his house is.” Rayne rambled again, running a hand through her hair. She really wished she could stop the talking, and she was just a little bit glad that his mother had walked away before she could ramble some more. Seeing James with kids was something that she was not prepared for. Even though she knew that they weren’t actually “his” kids, just his nieces and nephews, but he still looked ridiculously adorable holding them, and she couldn’t help but let her mind drift back to that dream she had a while ago of him with a little boy and her pregnant. Rayne felt another rush of affection for him at the sight and couldn’t hold back another smile as she watched him pick up the adorable little girl and had to force herself to pay attention to the other kids in front of them. Kids, she could handle, kids, she wasn’t nervous around. It was always the adults that gave her trouble. “Hey guys,” She bent down to their level, holding her hand up for a high five. “High five, low five, fist bump.” She said, holding her hand in the various positions as she spoke to the kids, smiling at them. Rayne stood back up then, her smile only widening at the little girl as she gently rubbed her back. “Is there anyone in your family that is not ridiculously adorable? Just curious.” She teased him.

[jamesonmathers]

James felt a small amount of pride when he could feel Rayne’s body relax a little from his touch. He knew of course that she was still nervous, he had expected her to be, but it still made him feel a little better knowing his presence could help to calm her nerves even if it was only just a little. The moment they had arrived at the doorstep all of James’ nerves had disappeared and all that was left in their place was excitement. He really couldn’t remember the last time he had been this excited. Her meeting his family was scary sure but he knew for a fact that they would all love her and he was so anxious for he to meet them. James couldn’t help but laugh slightly at her words. “I’m sorry. You’re blush is beautiful though so you shouldn’t worry.” He told her, grinning at her. James listened at Rayne talked to his mother, his grin widening even more as Rayne rambled slightly. It was one of his favorite things about her, the way she talked a lot when she was nervous. The way his mother smiled at her he could tell she too found it endearing. Though he wasn’t sure how anyone couldn’t since he was almost positive it was one of the most adorable things ever. Karen took the pie from Rayne’s hand, smiling fondly at her. “Thank you so much. I’m sure it tastes amazing. Jameson is most definitely an amazing food taster. He’s never wanted to actually help cook something but if you needed something to be tasted he was the man to call.” She said, smiling at her son before ushering them into the home. “Please come in and make yourself comfortable. The girls are finishing up dinner.” James took Rayne’s hand in hers and lead her into the foyer where they were greeted with his nieces and little brother.

[raynesanders]

She never understand why James liked her blush so much, and she probably never would. She didn’t think it was beautiful at all, but in fact found it pretty embarrassing, but she also knew that it was totally pointless to argue with him. He would never admit her blush was anything other than beautiful anyway. Ridiculous was definitely a word she felt that she could use to describe how she felt talking to James’s mom. She had known there was probably going to be lots of rambling, but she had hoped there wouldn’t be. Unfortunately it seemed her hopes were pointless. She didn’t even look at his mom’s face until the pie was safely out of her hands, but felt a little relieved to see her smiling. So maybe she didn’t think that her son’s girlfriend was totally crazy. Or at least she was polite enough to act like she wasn’t. She wasn’t surprised though, if this was the woman that raised James, Rayne smiled up softly at him for a brief moment, she had to be amazing. “I’m a little afraid to let him cook honestly. If what he’s told me about his cooking skills, or lack thereof, is true.” Rayne smiled at James again, this time teasingly as they walked past her and into the house. Rayne wanted to stare around at all the beauty. James was right. This house was even more extravagant than his, but they were quickly distracted by the arrival of a few girls and a little boy, who Rayne recognized as James’s little brother. Squeezing James’s hand for a moment, she smiled down at the kids before bumping James’s shoulder playfully. “Are you going to introduce me?” She asked him.

[raynesanders]

@marvelnerd616: Just thought I’d stop and take a moment to tell everyone that I agreed to marry this guy. Carry on. #myhandsomesuperhero #futuremrsmathers

[jamesonmathers]

James was so excited he almost couldn’t contain himself but he knew how nervous Rayne was so he was trying to dial it down a bit. Still though he couldn’t help the smile that had pretty much become a permanent fixture on his face since they got on the plane this morning. He had never been this excited to bring a girl home to meet his parents, but then again most of the women he had dated had been people his parents had already known. This was a whole new experience for him and he was so happy to have this beautiful women next to him meet his family. They were going to love her, there was absolutely no doubt about that in his mind but he knew he was nervous and he wanted to do his best to try to make her as comfortable as possible. James squeezed her arm slightly as she spoke to him and he leaned down to press a soft kiss against her cheek. “They’re going to love you, Rayne. I know they will.” He said, grinning at her. “You look so beautiful by the way. I know I’ve already said it but you do.” He said, pressing another kiss to her cheek before pulling back and ringing the doorbell. They didn’t have to wait long before the door opened to them, a woman who looked just like an older version of his little sister stood there with a smile to rival James’ own. She quickly pulled him into a hug, greeting them happily as she did so. When she had pulled away from her son she turned to Rayne. “You must be, Rayne. We’ve heard so much about you and I am so happy to meet you.”

[raynesanders]

Rayne’s body relaxed slightly as she felt James’s hand on her arm. His touch soothed her and her worries slightly, but still she felt so nervous her mind was going a million miles an hour thinking of all the different possibilities of how this could just end up going so horribly wrong. She had never met a boyfriend’s family before, and it made it even worse that it was James, the man that she was already fairly sure she was in love with. She didn’t want to mess this up. She just hoped that they loved her as much as James seemed sure that they would. She didn’t say anything to his assurance, just nodding her head, trying her best to believe him. A blush fell on her cheeks though as he commented on her appearance, and she bit her lip, looking down at the ground in embarrassment at the compliment. “You had to make me blush before I met your family didn’t you.” She said, shaking her head, but smiling at the kiss to her cheek. Rayne took a deep breath after James rang the doorbell and plastered a smile on her face as the woman answered. She looked a lot like James’s little sister she noticed, and the way that she hugged James definitely showed she cared about her son. Rayne ran a hand anxiously through her hair as she waited for her turn before she finally spoke. “Hi, yes, I’m Rayne,” She said, smiling nervously at the older woman. “I would say the usual whole ‘I hope only good things’ thing, but James has never even said anything bad about me to me, so I assume it’s all good things. Unless of course he does say bad things about me to you, but uh, I don’t think he does.” Dear god she sounded like an idiot, topic change, topic change – “Oh, I uh, made you a pie.” Rayne said, thrusting the dish towards the woman. “It’s Persimmon. I’ve never actually made it before, but I had James taste testing, and he said it was good, of course he says everything I cook is good, but I trust him so . . . yeah.” Rayne finished lamely, and as soon as the pie was out of her hands she stepped back, wrapping an arm around James’s waist, needing him close to help calm herself down.

[raynesanders]

Rayne was nervous. There was no way she could deny that. She had been able to block it out with the distraction of flying on an airplane for the first time, and then the fact that her boyfriend had not just the house in Besame, but a house in Dallas as well, but now, there was nothing else to distract her as she stood on the doorstep of James’s parent’s house, and her heart was beating rapidly in her chest. She had spent so long this afternoon getting ready and putting on some decent make up with soft red lips and a black and gray off the shoulders dress, even taking the time to straighten her hair. She just wanted to make sure that she did everything she could to make a good first impression, and that included putting away the Marvel clothes for the night and trying to make her appearance as . . . un-geeky as possible. None of that helped now though and she turned to James, worry plan on her face. “You're sure they’re going to like me right?” She asked, biting her lip as she clutched the dish, a Persimmon pie she had insisted on making so she didn’t show up empty handed, tighter in her hands.

[jamesonmathers]

[James kept asking himself how he had gotten so lucky but he just didn’t know. He had never envisioned himself with someone as amazing as Rayne. He had never felt so completely connected to someone in every way possible, but he felt all of that with this beautiful women. A woman that he unbelievably got to call his. She had the ability to make him feel at ease even when he didn’t think it was possible. James had always struggled with anxiety, something that had only gotten worse after his mother had left and its never seemed to get better. Well not until he had met Rayne anyways. It was as if she could take away his worries when she was around and it was part of the reason he hated when he had to go without seeing her. When she buried more into her chest he help her closer to him and kissed the top of her head.] I am so very glad to hear that because I am absolutely, ridiculously, crazy about you too. [He told her with a small smile, kissing her finger tips.] I think I will definitely be up for all day tomorrow.

[raynesanders]

[Rayne rested her chin on his chest as she looked up at him, just taking a couple of moments to study his features with a fond smile. She had always wondered what it would be like to care about someone as much as some of the happy couples she had seen on the street, and now she did know. Her heart was just absolutely fluttering as she stared at him, and if she wasn’t in his arms she’d probably be shaking with the feeling in her stomach. This happiness that he helped her achieve was something she never dreamed possible, and she knew she would never be able to thank him enough for that, but she could try. She just hoped that she never had to find out what would happen if he was gone from her life. Her smile only widened when she felt him kiss the top of her head and she moved up to nuzzle into his neck.] Oh, you are, huh? Glad we’re on the same page then my adorable boyfriend. [She pecked his lips before settling back down in his arms, nestling against his shoulder.] Good, because I’m definitely going to want more of this tomorrow. [She patted his chest before letting out a yawn.] After a nap. 

[jamesonmathers]

[He felt so at peace right now in this moment, felt like he was at home. James had never felt so comfortable with a person and had certainly never had one person he hadn’t known for a long length of time make him feel at home. Lately though Rayne had been making him feel like he was at home with her by his side, a feeling that made him anxious on the days he didn’t get to see her. Now though he was pretty sure that feeling was just going to get even worse because he felt so much more connected to her now. James closed his eyes as he felt her fingers on his chest, his hold body relaxing against her.] I can’t imagine not liking you. [He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.] I very much agree. It does make us a pretty good match. [He returned her kiss, smiling softly at her as she pulled away.] I want to too but I’m tired as well and I don’t want to hurt you. So tomorrow for sure.

[raynesanders]

[Rayne continued her path with her fingers, closing her eyes as well for a moment as she relaxed in his arms. She honestly didn’t think she had ever felt this good before. She wondered if James realized just how much he relaxed her. How he made her feel so much better all the time. Even when she didn’t know herself that she was stressed. It’s why she hated going any length of time that she wasn’t spending with him. She didn’t know how it was going to be now with them being even closer than before, but she dreaded finding out. Rayne was connected to him on a personal level she had never been connected to with anyone else before, and she was hoping she wouldn’t find out any time soon what it would be like without him. Her stomach fluttered ridiculously at his words, and she buried her face in his chest so he couldn’t see her blush.] I can’t imagine not liking you either considering how absolutely, ridiculously, crazy I am about you. [She brushed her fingers across his lips, tracing them gently.] I’m actually not feeling that sore or anything. Just a little stiff. Definitely think I’ll be up for all day tomorrow as long as you are. 

[raynesanders]

[James snuggled into her neck, breathing her in. She smelled of Rayne and sex. The mixture was heady and definitely turned him on. He couldn’t wait to have her again but for right now holding her was almost just as good. James was pretty sure he could have her in his arms like this for hours and never get tired of it. In fact he had held her like this for hours and was always disappointed when it had to end. It was something that had confused him at the beginning of their relationship. He had never been one to crave physical contact. It was actually something he used to avoid for the most part but with like most other things Rayne was always the exception. She brought out things in him that no other women had been able to before. The thought made him feel at ease, so extremely comfortable in her presence and hoped he’d never lose it.]  I’d happily take the blame for that. [He smiled at her and pressed a kiss to the tip of her nose.] I’m in complete agreement. It would be so boring without our weirdness. [He returned her smile, trailing his fingertips slowly up and down her spine.] I am so extremely honored and I cannot wait to do that again, and again … and again, oh wait and again. [He smirks at her, chuckling slightly.]

[A soft smile formed on Rayne’s lips as she felt James nuzzling into her neck. She still couldn’t believe it. She was laying there, naked, on top of her equally naked boyfriend, and she didn’t think that she had ever felt more comfortable. She wished that she could stay there forever. She hadn’t ever really had a place that she was positive she belonged up until now, never had a home, but in this moment, laying here with him, she was pretty sure she had, and it was with him. Her fingers continued their path of tracing small circles on his chest, closing her eyes at just how comfortable she was feeling.] I don’t know, you might not like me any more if I got an ego. [She scrunched her nose up with a giggle when he kissed it.] It really would. I love our weirdness. Like you said, makes us a good match. [She let out a contented sigh at the movement of his fingers, closing her eyes again, letting out a little laugh at his words.] Me too. I am very much looking forward to it, believe me. [She leaned forward and pressed a lingering kiss against his lips for a few moments before puling away slowly.] And I would definitely want to again tonight, but I’m pretty tired after getting up so early to make your breakfast, and a little sore. Tomorrow though? I promise you’ll have me all day. 

[raynesanders]

jamesonmathers:

[James watched as she closed his eyes, smiling softly as she kissed his thumb. He had never seen someone so beautiful, and in this moment she was so so beautiful and he knew he would remember her like this forever. His smile grew when he heard her laugh, the sound making his heart swell.] You should feel beautiful because you are. You are beyond beautiful and I promise to never make feel any less than that. [He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead after he pulled back from her lips.] You are a weirdo but you’re my weirdo too, so I think we’re pretty perfect together. [He returned her kiss and helped her closer, softly trailing his finger tips up and down her back, a smirk forming at her next words.] I have plenty condoms in that drawer over there and I think that sounds like an excellent idea.

[Rayne didn’t ever think she had felt this happy and . . . complete before. She had always thought she would be fine on her own. Was it lonely? Sure, but she could live with it. She could deal, and she was fine, but she didn’t realize until James came along she wasn’t, and now that she’s been with him in every way she could physically it . . . it felt right. So right, and so good, and God she had it bad.] You know if you do that I might start getting a bit of an ego, and it would be all your fault. [She grinned at him, tracing circles on his chest with her fingertips.] I think you’re right on that. Besides I like being a weirdo and wouldn’t want to date anyone who wasn’t. That would be so boring. [She shifted slightly in his arms more comfortably, resting her head against his chest and tangling their legs together before grinning widely at his response.] Good, because I definitely want to do that again, and again . . . and again. [She giggled, pressing a kiss to his chest with each word.] You should feel proud. I’ve never skipped work for someone before. 

[raynesanders]

jamesonmathers:

[James was feeling so much right now and he wished he could voice exactly how he was feeling to her, but he knew that wasn’t now wasn’t the right time for that. So he pushed it to the back of his mind, telling himself that he would tell her soon enough. He kept a smile on his face as he looked at her. She was so incredibly beautiful and he couldn’t believe that he was lucky enough to call her his. Slowly he reached out and brushed his hand against her cheek as it reddened, the flush only making her look even more beautiful, his thumb brushing against her bottom lip.] It was perfect. You are perfect and so ridiculously beautiful. [He couldn’t keep himself from kissing her again, a little longer this time, putting all his affection for her into it.] I’m not a weirdo. It’s not my fault your rambling is adorable. [James squeezed her hands slightly, grinning up at her.]

[The giddy smile on her lips turned into a soft one as he placed his hand against her cheek. She leaned her head into his hand, closing her eyes at the feeling of his touch. When she felt his thumb against her lips, she puckered her lips, kissing the finger softly. She shook her head, laughing slightly at his next words, but not saying anything as she placed her own hand on top of his, opening her eyes to find his again.] Thank you. I’m really glad that you think so. You actually do make me feel pretty beautiful. [She turned her head to kiss his open palm before returning his kiss, kissing him back with everything that she had.] You are, but it’s okay, because you’re my weirdo, and I’m a weirdo too. [She grinned before kissing him again.] So . . . Exactly how many more of those condoms do you have? Because I was thinking . . . [She bit her lip.] Maybe you and I could take the day off tomorrow and put them to good use?

[James kept his eyes on hers, his heart pounding at the way she was looking at him. He was feeling so much for her right now. So many emotions were going through him and he wasn’t sure what to make of it all but he knew that he liked it and wanted to feel this way all the time. He found himself getting a little worried for a second at her words but then a smile spread across his face and he let out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding. He had been so worried that she would regret this, even though she had definitely seemed like she had enjoyed herself he still couldn’t help but worry especially with her past. But hearing what she had to say now made his heart swell and he didn’t think he could care more about her in this very moment than he did.] I care about you too, Rayne. Like so, so much and I’m so glad that this was perfect for you. [He grinned and pressed a quick kiss to her lips.] You know I love your rambling.

[Rayne couldn’t help but grin even wider as she saw the smile on his own face. God she loved his smile so much. She was pretty sure that she could be happy looking at the smile for the rest of her life, those dimples outlining his lips. Her gut was just twisting with happiness, and a word she was scared to speak. She continued to trace his face with her fingertips, staring at him and taking in everything about this moment. A flush fell on her cheeks at his words, so happy to hear the sentiment returned.] It feels really good to hear you say that, and it was so perfect. You’re perfect, and I know you’ll argue with me about that forever, but you are perfect, at least perfect for me. [Rayne pouted at his short kiss before grinning mischievously at him and nudging him over to settle on top of him.] For some strange reason, weirdo, but you know I love your little . . . quirks too. [She teased as she reached for his hands, twisting their fingers together.]

[James kept his face in her neck until he got his breathing under control, his body still shaking slightly as he came down from his high. He smiled against her skin, pressing more kisses against it until he felt her own lips against his forehead and he pulled back to look at her.] I think I’m doing pretty damn good. [He grinned at her and pressed a soft kiss to her lips.] Are you okay?

[Rayne moved her hand from his hair to his cheek, tracing his cheek bones with her thumb. The look on her face was full of adoration, and she’d never felt more affection for him than in that moment. She smiled even wider at his words, another giggle bubbling up from her lips before she kissed him back.] No, not at all. [She gave him a serious look before grinning.] I’m fantastic, amazing, spectacular, and any other awesome adjective you can think of, and  . . . [She started pressing kisses all over his face with every word before pulling back to lock eyes with him.] Thankful. So, so thankful because you replaced a horrible memory with a perfect one. James . . . I know we haven’t been seeing each other that long, but I care about you so much. More than I’ve cared about anyone. Which seems a little crazy, and I hope you don’t think I’m crazy because like I said, I really like you, I just . . . I want you to know, and I’m rambling again, and it’s so unromantic now, and just yeah . . . thank you, for making this perfect.
