Feeling James get up from his spot beside her, Addison curled herself into a ball. Hearing James call to her about the heat, Addy shot up faster than she thought possible and went below deck to where James was. She looked around for the heater and when she saw it she went and sat down in front of it. The heat felt so nice against her cool skin. She was so happy that she was practically purring with pleasure. “Thank you for the heat.” Addison said as she cuddled with the blanket in front of the heater.
Finally being warm enough to even comprehend what was happening around her, Addison took in all the candles around the room. The soft glow that all the different candles cast around the room made it seem like James and her were enveloped in warmth. Smiling at how nice James had been, Addison hid her face in the blanket and let out a small giggle. She was hoping that the blanket had muffled her giggle enough that James hadn’t heard it.
Peeking out from the blanket, Addison felt her stomach start to rumble. She hadn’t had anything to eat since breakfast and she was just realizing that.

James nodded to her response about the thanks. James pulled out the food and held it out to her. He had no idea what his buddy packed as long as it wasn't full of drugs they should be good. James noticed that there were brownies there so instead of giving Addison one he took a bite " Brownies are drug free" He said giving her a smile. He had no idea what made Addison snap but something snapped and he was curious why.
It's not like he was mad at her either he was fine he was just curious that's all.

When James offered her some food, Addison accepted it greedily. It was just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but it looked so good! Carefully removing the plastic wrap, Addison took a big bite and smiled happily at James as she chewed. Watching James as he took a bite of a brownie, Addy frowned. She wanted a brownie too! Addison had a big sweet tooth and when it came to her and sweets she was like a little kid…actually, when it came to a lot of things Addison tended to act like a little kid.
Hearing that the brownies were drug free, Addison left her blanket and her sandwich by the heater and went over to claim a brownie..or three for herself. She knew that she would end up not wanting her sandwich after, but brownies were way better than sandwiches. Munching happily on the chocolate treat, Addison swallowed carefully and looked at James. “I’m sorry for earlier, I tend to run when I get really embarrassed.” Addison told him softly while examining the small piece of brownie left in her hand.

James smiled and shook his head when Addison ran towars him and excitidley took a brownie. He wanted to make sure there was no drugs in the brownies so it was a good thing he checked them. James nodded her head still not upset with her " Why were you embaressed though?" He asked her confused by the whole thing. It's not like he did anything really bad.

Addison shrugged. It wasn’t anything that he did that embarrassed her, it was more of her acting out of character and having the courage to kiss him a second time. “It sounds cheesy, but it’s not you, it’s me.” Addison explained. “I’ve never done anything like this before and I don’t know what I’m doing or if I’m doing it right, or any of that. It’s frustrating and embarrassing and…” Addison trailed off. Part of the reason why she was so quiet at school was because she didn’t like doing or saying the wrong thing. She was afraid that people would laugh at her and make fun of her. She knew that it was a stupid fear, but it was one that she just couldn’t seem to shake.
Addison really enjoyed kissing James, but because he was so much more experienced than she was, Addy felt as though she were inadequate. James would know whenever she did something wrong and she didn’t like knowing that. She was used to blending in with the crowd and not being called out on her faults.

James pouted when she said it was her and not him. That was a dumping line. Oh great she's dumping me this sucks. James shook his head as she explained " Don't be embaressed about it, it's cute and nice to find a girl that dosen't have much experience" He told her honestly. He was so sick of girls dating him just for another hook up on their belt. Even worse was when they would date him for dares.
" I'll make you a deal, if you don't run away anymore I won't kiss you like a professional" He told her shrugging his shoulders maybe it would work.

Addy didn't mean to make it sound like she was dumping him, but she didn't know how else to put it since it was truly nothing James did. Addison felt better when James said that he thought her innocence was cute, but she still felt her cheeks flush slightly and the urge to hide her face came over her, but she didn't move from where she stood. James told her no more running away and she wasn't about to break that deal within a minute of making it.
"I'll try not to run away, but it's going to be hard." Addy said softly. Her whole life she had been running and hiding from things she didn't want to face, but it was time for that to change. She had to learn that people weren't out to get her or make fun of her for eternity. "So..what now?" She asked. Addy had ate part of her sandwich and enough brownies to fill her tummy for the time being. She didn't know what was going to happen next since they had ate and she had confessed to James about what had been going on in her mind when she jumped into the water.

James shook his head " I'm sure you will be able to pull through this, heck I'll even help" He told her honestly. James tapped his chin as he thought about it. If this were any of his ex girlfriends it would be obvious. But this was Addison so it wasn't obvious. " Want me to do something really corny?" James asked her with a grin.
If she were to say yes he would play his guitar and sing for her. If she said no then he would figure something else out.

Addison smiled when James told her that he'd help her to stop running from things. She was very grateful for this because now she had two people to help her through. Taking a few steps so that she was standing right in front of James, Addison hesitated slightly before wrapping her arms around him in a hug. No one besides Riley ever took the time to break through her shell and now James was doing exactly that. It felt good knowing that there was someone else that wanted to get to know her, but it was also scary at the same time.
When Addy saw James' grin and heard him ask about doing something corny, she smiled and nodded. If whatever he was going to do was going to be corny, then it couldn't be that bad. Usually the corny stuff is what a girl found cute, at least that's what it seemed like in all the movies. "So what corny idea were you thinking of?" She asked him with a small smile playing on her lips.

James smiled and went into the closet and pulled out a guitar. He put it there just in case. Playing guitar was like his super power towards girls. James strummed a few cords and looked at Addison " Any requests?" James asked her as he kept strumming. James would play any and all songs that anybody could ever want to hear.

Addison tried to see around James when he went to the closet, but she couldn’t, he covered the opening completely. Waiting impatiently, Addison was surprised to see James with a guitar when he turned around. Hearing him strum a few chords, Addy grinned. “Rhythm of Love by the Plain White T’s!” Addison said quickly when she was asked if she had any requests. She loved the song and it would probably sound amazing when James played it. While waiting for James to begin, Addison already had the lyrics running through her head. The song she chose was one of her favorites and she knew all the words by heart. It was just a cute song that she loved
Addy never expected James to know how to play the guitar. She had never heard anyone say anything about him knowing how to play, but then again, she had never paid much attention to James when in school because he always seemed to be interested in the popular girls.

James smiled and started strumming the cords to the song she had requested. James cleared his throat and was prepared to sing "My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says, "Boy, quit foolin' around"
I told her, "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun, you're mine
All mine
Play the music low
And sway to the rhythm of love
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun, you're mine
All mine
Play the music low
And sway to the rhythm of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun, you're mine
All mine
Play the music low
And sway to the rhythm of love
Play the music low
And sway to the rhythm of love
Yeah, sway to the rhythm of love
He stopped playing grinning at Addison " Was that good for you?" He asked her with a little wink.

Listening to James sing and play, Addison couldn’t help the smile that slid onto her face. He sounded so good! As he ended the piece, Addison clapped and then shrugged, “It was okay, but you definitely need to practice some more.” Addison said with a small smile and another shrug. She knew that James was amazingly good, but he didn’t need to know that. He didn’t need his ego being blown out of proportion or anything. Guys with huge egos were never fun to be around. Usually they act like dicks.
“So, how long have you been playing?” Addison asked as she approached James and reached her hand out to brush her fingers along the strings. With each string that she touched a different sound was emitted. It always amazed her how a string could make a noise like that and then when combined with others a beautiful noise is made. It’s just something that seems like it shouldn’t be. Looking up at James, Addy smiled while still running her fingers over the strings. She felt like a little kid with the fascination she held for the guitar.

James's mout dropped when she said he needed some more pratice. He thought he did really well espically since he had only heard the song once. " I started when I was six it was a way to keep my sister amused, mind you I wasn't so good then" He told her shrugging his shoulders. He secretly hoped she wouldn't ask about his sister then he would have to explain and when he did he found himself crying. He was hoping she would drop it but who knows.
James watched as she strummed a few cords " Want me to teach you?" He asked her with a smile. He would do it in a heartbeat.

Addison couldn’t contain her laughter when she saw James’ mouth drop open at her comment. “You played the song very well actually, I just wanted to see your reaction when you thought you weren’t very good.” Addy explained. She didn’t mean for him to feel bad, but she didn’t really regret saying what she said.
Running her fingers over the strings one more time, Addison looked up to meet his gaze when he asked her if she wanted to learn to play. Quickly a smile slid onto her lips and Addison nodded her head. She had never played an instrument before and didn’t really know anything about music, but she was eager to learn. “Have you ever taught anyone to play before?” She asked, wondering if he was any good at being a teacher. A lot of people were good at things, but not all of them could teach what they were good at.
