runnin' from fear``Kiana

[james thomas leroy]

"You're doing fine, Emma," he told her, she was dancing perfectly well like this but then he was doing the leading so it should be easier for her. This was where James felt comfortable, taking the lead in any situation. He liked control and with Emma he knew that he would always have it. There was no need to even try with her and he liked that.

James just smiled. She didn't mind either way and that left the decision up to him. He didn't mind staying, he knew she might even enjoy it but there were people at the dance that he really didn't want to rick running into. Aleksei for one would be a horrible person to see if he was with Emma.

He didn't trust the guy knowing about her and with Cameron already in the loop, he decided it was already one person too many. James needed to keep the girl a secret in order to keep her safe, especially after what happened with Eliza. She was his first and then Aleksei showed up with a sharp object and ruined her for him. He wasn't going to let Aleksei anywhere near Emma. Emma was different.

If he did take her away though, he would have to take her somewhere nice and since it was still cold outside, it had to be inside and that limited the possibilities significantly. James thought quickly about it for another moment.

"I have an idea, come on," he said, leading her away from the dance floor and out the door.He didn't say very much about where they were going and it wasn't the most interesting of places but it would have to do for the evening.

Walking down the hallway, he eventually led her to the library. It was dark inside and the librarian had left for the evening but that had never stopped James before. Letting go of her hand, he left her to wait behind him. Pulling out a switchblade, he was careful not to let her see it and he used it to open the door before sliding it back into his pocket.

"Come on," he said, going inside and moving to the desk by the door where the librarian would sit. Opening the second drawer down, he pulled out a flash light and turned it on before moving to shut the door behind Emma.

"No one usually checks down here so it'd be a good place to be for a while," he told her, wondering if she would be okay with it. It was quiet and calm and filled with books. With desks and chairs around, there was a lot they could do here.

Emma just continued to sway back and forth as he too seemed to be thinking over what to do. She didn’t mind the wait though, seeing as she was perfectly content with just being with him. But as soon as she heard him say that he had an idea, she grinned vibrantly and fallowed him out the door. She hadn’t a clue where he was going but she would fallow him anyway, so long as he knew what he was doing. Which she assumed that he did.

Holding onto his hand, she looked up at him every so often. He was beautiful to her, and her eyes couldn’t help but catch a glance when they could. But when he stopped, she narrowed her brow slightly at the door which he was blocking. She had hoped he had a key, but the by the sound of the light scratching and digging, it seemed like he was breaking in. Emma’s eyes widened in surprise as she watched the door swing open in front of her him. She slowly fallowed him in, hesitantly. Breaking into places wasn’t exactly her forte, unless you counted the kitchen…. But even then people knew she would be in there if they couldn’t find her.

It was so dark in the place that her own soft blue eyes wouldn’t adjust properly. However, James was on top of things, like usual, and had found himself a flashlight. She smiled at him as he closed the door behind her and spoke up. She looked around once more, finally realizing where they were. It was the library. She slipped off her heels one at a time lowering her height a good five inches, and sitting them on the librarians desk. Leaning her clutch purse up against them, she walked forward slowly in the soft light of the flashlight. ”So we could stay here… for awhile, then?”

She moved toward a nearby desk and jumped up on it, her legs swinging back and forth freely. She licked her lower lip and pulled it between her teeth to chew on it lightly. Tilting her head to the side, she looked at James, taking him in in the shadows. She wasn’t sure what exactly she wanted to do, but she knew they were in for some entertainment at least. ”So what do you want to do, James?” She smiled, her head still tilted to the side a bit and her hair falling over her shoulder.

Lillian knew she was overly late, hell she wanted to have a little fun before she showed up to this crappy thing. She smiled at herself in the mirror of her room, she was drunk and high all rolled into one happy person. Which wasn't something usually seen in Lilli at all. Except when she was high and drunk all in the same moment of time. She applied her lipstick and looked around her room. She hadn't ran into her roommate, which to her was a very good thing. She didn't like having one, it meant her 'parties' had to be thrown elsewhere. Hell it wasn't all bad though, as long as she partied.

But her roomie was gone to the dance like everyone else, so she had her little small party here. She sprayed some perfume to make the room smell good, and herself of course and headed out. She hoped she didn't get into toooo much trouble here. Hell it was bad enough that she was constantly in trouble, and her brother and sister hated it. Not that she cared much. As long as she didn't run into them this fine evening all would be well.

She snuck into the entrance and moved her hips to the music, looking like she was there the whole time. She waved to a few people and looked around to find her date. She spotted him with a girl and when they walked away she shrugged slightly and smirked looking for someone else to keep her entertained. She found no one and it upsetted her slightly, not that it was much to cause her any harm. She was too high and too drunk to care. So she swayed her hips and walked to a corner and pursed her lips, looking for someone who would be good company.

notes: meh it sucks, and sorry it took so long XD I was thinking Lilli would be good at being late it seemed to work

Leading her out of the room with her hand in his, James turned to look at the room one final time. He noticed a familiar face. He hadn't met her but he had seen her picture. It was unmistakably Lillian but James was busy getting Emma out of here for a while. He didn't think anything would come of it but it would be a change in atmosphere at least.

Looking at Lillian as he passed her, James just kept walking, not caring if she even knew who he was. If she wanted to, she could go after him and say hello or whatever it was she might do. She was still unknown to him and thus not quite as easy to predict but Emma on the other hand was very different.

James didn't try to hide too much from her. He really didn't need to. He had blocked her view, mostly so she wouldn't see the knife but he didn't need to lie about breaking in. It didn't matter if she knew that they weren't suppose to be here. She still trusted him and in a way James did want to know just how far that trust extended.

"No one's going to be here for at least another three hours," he told her. If she had believed what they said about him, this would have been the point at which she might feel the intense desire to run like hell back down the hallway and escape but she didn't believe it and that was how James knew she would stay.

There were a number of people who knew and knew to believe it but James had made sure to keep them silent. Being in a fairly isolated room in a building with a guy who was known for being dangerous, where the next person wouldn't be by for at least a few hours, was hardly a safe thing to do.

Moving forward, James placed the torchlight on the desk beside Emma. He hadn't quite planned that far ahead yet. All he knew were the things he couldn't do and with Emma he did have to be more careful. For once this was a spontaneous moment.

"I don't know," he told her, looking around at the shelves of books. "You know, I saw Lillian down there before we left," he told her. "Don't think she'll find us up here though," he told her with a smile, as though he only left to avoid having to spend the evening with some other girl, pretending this was all don't for Emma.

Three hours of doing whatever in the library actually sounded like fun. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do, but there was plenty that they could do. Emma continued kicking her feet back and forth slowly as she looked around the place, catching a few glimpses of James when she could. She smiled over at him, smoothing out her dress over her stomach. "Three hours yeah?" She questioned him again. Three hours was a long time, not that she minded. She probably would have spent the time in her room doing absolutely nothing but practicing her cello or attempting to take a nap of sorts. She didn't actually really know what she would have done.

Emma-Lise frowned slightly at the bringing up of Lillian. She didn't quite know why, but she just didn't like the idea of other girls with James. Which was odd because she hadn't had the feeling before. She was used to being told what to do and just fearing the consequenses of what would happen if she didn't do it perfectly. Licking her lower lip, she tucked a piece of her long blonde hair behind one of her ears and smiled sweetly. "Well, seeing as we have three hours to spare and fill with entertainment.... we could play hide and seek, read a book, see if they have any hiding places, you could kiss me.." Her hand shot up to her lips, covering them. As she looked at him with wide, bright blue eyes, her cheeks blushed a bright red. "I-I-I..."

"Yeah," James said quite simply. It was three hours but he knew the limits. He knew that this couldn't go too far. Emma was sweet and she believed he was a good guy, one wrong move might make her doubt it and just a little doubt could do a lot of damage. James, of course, was very careful about these things. He thought and plan and was exceedingly thorough with the execution of it. Sure, he was treating Emma like a fragile doll but for now, that was exactly what she was to him.

James knew she was watching him but he didn't mind. In fact, he wanted her to be watching him. He wanted that attention from her. He wanted her to fall for him, to be his so that he might have a life that others wouldn't take a second look at. Something normal and ordinary but perfect and happy at the same time. Something that would keep him out of trouble and out of getting locked up. He knew he could avoid it but chances were, that he might get caught were higher the longer he kept at it and James didn't want to risk that.

James caught the frown and nearly smiled at it but he caught himself in time. Appearing to be happy about the slight jealousy she was harboring was probably not a normal reaction and might cause her to be suspicious. Though thinking about it now, James was certain that she wouldn't notice it, and if she did it might confuse her. Emma didn't seem like the type to over analyze people and their actions and reactions to things, not like he did.

Moving up, James places his hands at either side of her as she spoke, leaning in close. He wanted to kiss her but thinking it didn't mean that he would do it. He had to wait for the right moment, though when she made that little slip, he laughed. Apparently she was thinking it too.

"I think I'd like to do that," he told her, gently pulling her hands down from her mouth and leaning in nice and slowly. He was good at taking his time with things and besides, a bit of anticipation was always good. Finally closing the distance, he kissed her. He took his time with it, leaning her back a little as he moved a hand to her back to support her and the other at her neck, holding her close.
