Waking Up in Vegas

Chapter Five--

James' POV:

I woke up and at first, I didn't recognize where I was. Definitely not the first time that's happened to me, but it took me a minute to remember where I was. Laura's house. I was on the couch with Laura asleep beside me. The previous night came flooding back...the baby, the miscarriage, Laura kissing me...

I carefully got up, trying not to wake her. I collected my phone, wallet and keys before sliding my shoes on. "James?" Laura said stirring awake

"Morning..." I said turning around

"You're leaving?"

"I was trying not to wake you..."

"James can we talk?"

I nodded and sat my stuff down, sitting back on the couch beside her "Go ahead..."

"I'm sorry. About the kiss, about not telling you everything earlier, about dropping this all on you..." she said her voice cracking as tears filled her eyes

"Laura, don't cry...I'm not angry you didn't tell me. I understand why you didn't...I was an asshole back then and to be honest, if I was in your shoes, I probably wouldn't have told myself either. And yeah, it was a lot to take in... Also...about the kiss, I'm just confused...I just...where do we stand?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean where do we stand? Me and you?"

Laura's POV:

His question froze me. Where did we stand? I wasn't even sure myself. Sure, I was still untrusting of him because of the past, but also...when we kissed, all of the past feelings flooded back. The passion, the love...everything I'd felt for him before Pittsburgh...

"Laura?" James repeated, his eyes scanning mine

"I...I don't know, James..."

James nodded "alright. I gotta go..." he said again getting up and starting for the door

"James, wait..." I said following after him

"Why?" He asked turning to face me. I was taken aback by his tone "why should I wait, Laura? Every fucking day since that night, I've hated myself for what I did. For the stupid decision I made...and ever since then, I've been trying to convince myself that we were done...when I saw you at the store...I...I couldn't stop thinking about you. I had to find you again. Fix things. This was my chance. I still love you. I never stopped loving you. And if all we're gunna be is just friends, tell me now so I can stop thinking that I'll ever get a chance with you again."

I grabbed his hand "James, I don't know...okay...there's a lot we have to work on...I'll confess, I never truly got over you either. I convinced myself that I hated you. But truth is...I still love you too, James...I just...there's a lot to work on...a lot more to talk about..."

"You don't trust me." He said quietly, looking down. I nodded and he looked over to me "Laura, I promise you that I'm not that same guy any more. I've changed. I truly have. What will it take for you to believe me?"

"Time, James...it's going to take time. We've only recently been reconnected..."

"Okay." He nodded

"Okay."

"I really do have to go though..."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later?" I said grabbing his hand

James smiled and nodded "yeah."

"Okay." I smiled hugging him "bye."

"Bye." He replied walking out the door and down the steps to his car.

I watched him get in and drive off before heading back inside. I sat on the couch and grabbed my phone dialing Katie's number "Hellooooo!"

"I told him."

"You told him?! What did he say?"

"That he was sorry...that he didn't really know what to say...that's about it...then we kissed."

"You kissed?!"

"Yeah and he fell asleep on the couch with me..."

"HE STAYED OVER?! Laura what were you thinking?!"

""I don't know..." I sighed

"So are you guys like back together?"

"No...I mean...I don't know. We talked a bit, but there's still more to talk about."

"I guess that's for the best."

"Yeah. Anyways I have to go. I'll talk to you later?"

"Okay! See ya!"

Notes

Sorry this took so long.

I had a feeling she either had a child or had being pregnant but oh the poor thing having to deal with that trauma on her own whilst also dealing with a break up. Hope she's not rushing into things by kissing him.they clearly have a lot more to talk about

kind of had a feeling of what she was hiding from him in the first chapter and still have the same thinking after this one. I wonder when she'll tell him everything
