Seventeen

Michaela

Feeling a chill, I pulled on my cardigan. When I turned around, James was standing right behind me, an indecipherable look on his face. Was he…staring at my mouth? I blinked, convinced I’d imagined it, but no, he was still staring at me with an intense, heated expression that made my neck and face feel warm.

“James?” I said questioningly.

He seemed to shake himself out of whatever had come over him as he took a step back. “I better go,” he said, voice stilted. “I’ve taken up enough of your time.”

“You don’t have to go,” I replied breathily, but he was already backing away toward the door.

“It’s late though, and I’m tired. Goodnight,” he replied stiffly, and then he was gone.

That was weird. Was it something I said? I crawled into bed and logged back onto the game, but it was hard to concentrate. I couldn’t get the way James had looked at me out of my head. He seemed like he’d been about to do something crazy…like kiss me? But that couldn’t be right.

I groaned. Things seemed to be getting more complicated between us by the day and I felt like I was losing it. Logging out of the game, I quickly checked my work schedule for tomorrow, running down the list of tasks I needed to complete. Neil and I shared a calendar that we could both edit and I noticed a work trip to New York was scheduled in for James and Paul in two days’ time. They were going to scout locations for the next season of Running on Air. Neil was due to accompany them, and I tried not to fixate on how much I’d miss James while he was gone.

The next morning I made us both breakfast like normal, but James didn’t come down from his room. I tried not to analyse his absence too deeply as I covered his plate with some cling film, left a Post-It Note on top reminding him to eat, then headed out to meet Neil.

When I walked into the gym, Neil was wearing what could only be described as an overly friendly smile.

“Morning, Michaela, can I get you anything? Some coffee maybe?” he offered.

I eyed him suspiciously as I took off my coat. “Coffee would be good, but what’s going on? Why are you acting all nice?”

Neil let out a long, beleaguered sigh. “I don’t want to go to New York.”

My pulse sped up at his mention of the trip, the one that would both take James away (boo!) and give me some space to sort my head out (yay?). “You don’t? Why not?”

Now he groaned. “I’m just so sick of travelling. You know I like my routine and going to New York for a week will throw everything completely off.”

“Okay, I can understand that,” I allowed.

“Plus, James has been extra grouchy with me lately,” Neil went on. “With everything he’s been through it’s expected, but it’s tough to deal with when you’re just trying to do your job.”

“How has he been grouchy with you?” I questioned.
