James wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. Lauren seemed to be smiling that bit more at him recently and wearing a heavy scented perfume that drove him wild with arousal, although he tried his best not to show it. Instead of her just watching him playing video games, they would talk for hours. Well, mostly Lauren would talk, which was just as well as James would struggle even without his slight speech impediment. But he was an excellent listener, especially to her and that seemed to compensate.
They would discuss everything together and James now felt like he knew everything about her. She even told him about an ex boyfriend that recently contacted her.
“Yeah, imagine that texting me just as I’m about to go home. For you know what! No, that’s just not me anymore.”
James was somewhat stunned, mostly by the fact that a man would not realize what a gem she truly was.
“Oh, I just don’t know.”
James thought he should say something, anything.
“You deserve more,” he replied.
This raised a smile as she flicked her long, curly red hair.
“Why do you say that?”
James turned crimson and struggled to respond.
“Why don’t we watch a movie when I’m here tomorrow. You could download something off the internet.”
“Yyeah that’d be greatt,” replied James.

Lauren’s heart was beating ferociously as she got into her car. He definitely likes her, she was sure of it. But just not sure enough to kiss him. Not yet anyway. This film would be the opportunity. She would have to make the move but that was okay, it was the twenty-first century after all.
Every night now, he would enter her dreams and she would tell him how she truly felt. That he brightened her every day. That she loved everything about him.
Yes, it was now the time to do it for real.
