As Emma smoothed out her denim skirt, sighing about Charlie she felt someone patting her on the shoulder, she quickly spun around.
�Erm hi� said the cute boy standing in front of her. �Hi� she smiled. This boy looked pretty sweet, he had adorable looks making him good looking, but they weren�t the model�s type of look like Charlie�s that Emma usually went for. He had highlighted blonde floppy hair and a dazzling smile. �I�m Charlie�s friend, James� he said, reaching out a hand for Emma to shake. Emma joined her hand with his and smiled back. �I�m Emma� she replied �I know, I heard you chatting to my mate Charlie, he went off with your friend and you looked kinda lonely so I decided to come up and chat� Emma smiled at how sweet he was, but she couldn�t stop thinking about Charlie no matter how nice James was being. Suddenly she was snapped back to reality as James continued to speak �So��..wanna dance?� he asked shyly. Although Emma wasn�t attracted to James in the way she was with Charlie she didn�t want to hurt his feelings kindly so took up the offer. Anyway Charlie looked happy with Tara and she didn�t want to spoil things between them, being on the wrong side of Tara was definitely a No No! As another slow song came on, James wrapped his arms around her waist, Emma fidgeted a bit uncomfortably �You ok?� he asked �You seem nervous� �Me? No I�m fine� replied Emma, taking quick glances over James� shoulder at Tara who was now all over Charlie like dip on a chip. Her eyes saddened at the sight, she didn�t want to see it anymore so she focused on a spot on the floor and continued to dance with James, looking down. James noticed this so decided to look behind him to see what sight Emma couldn�t keep her eyes off, as he turned his head slightly he saw the happy faces and heard the fits of laughter coming from Tara and Charlie. He then turned back to Emma who was still looking down towards the floor. �She likes Charlie?� thought James �why isn�t she saying anything??� James didn�t want to see Emma hurt like this, he really liked her but if she liked someone else then he knew he didn�t have a chance. He racked his brains to think of a way for Emma to admit her feelings for Charlie without even telling him herself. Then it suddenly came to him. James moved closer to Emma�s body and titled his head, his lips inches away from hers. He opened his mouth slightly but Emma pressed two fingers against them and pushed away gently. �Erm�..sorry��she apologised �you�re a real nice guy and all but���� �I know� interrupted James �you like Charlie� �No I don�t!� snapped Emma, surprised at her self for reacting like that �W�W..What makes you thing that?� she began to fidget, curling her hair in between her fingers. �It�s so obvious� James laughed slightly �I only went to kiss you because I knew how you felt about him, so I wanted to get you to admit them yourself. By rejecting me I knew there was someone else. Emma raised her eyebrows, then broke into a smile �Clever� she said, still shocked at how obvious it was to everyone that she liked Charlie. She then dropped back into sadness �well he�s with Tara so I can�t do anything� James took her by the shoulders and smiled slightly �Don�t let that put you down, you never no what may happen, Love is unpredictable� Emma smiled �Thanks James� �Any time� he smiled back �anyway I better be off, Matt our other flatmate is waiting by the bar� Emma nodded �Maybe I�ll see you again if Tara and Charlie hook up� �Yer maybe� smiled Emma weakly |
