Samantha’s POV
“What are you talking about Marie? We are trying to figure out to solve all this complicated issue and you are talking about James, C’mon.” I said to her with a wave of my hand.
“Please tell me, he looks handsome and really graceful, I want to know his relationship status.” she almost pleaded and I sighed softly.
“He is not single.”
“What? He is married? I can’t see any ring on his fingers.” she pointed out.
“He is not married but he is taken, he is very much in love and you are not allowed to try to seduce him or take him away from the girl he is in love with, she is my friend here, my best friend.” I said to her.
“Oh… I see, such a pity that he is taken, is he just taken and not happy in the relationship or is he…..”
“Marie, he is very happy in the relationship and he so much loves his partner, Cassie. You must not say a word against Cassie wherever he is, he loves her so much and you do not stand a chance at all, he is only for Cassie to own.” I cut her off with my response.
“There’s no way I am going to let someone else take James, that would be the greatest act of betrayal I can ever do to Cassie” I said to Cara and she could not agree more.
“I know we met Marie first but we know Cassie more, Cassie has helped us more and the most important is that Cassie is the one and only person that James loves, even if you want to let someone else take James, James would not allow himself to be taken from Cassie.” she replied me.
“We are done with the booking.” Kayden called out to us and both Marie and I alighted from the car.
“Let’s go meet them and don’t try asking James out.” I said to Marie, whispering the last part so that James and Kayden wouldn’t hear.
“We are coming.” I replied Kayden as we walked towards the both men, Kayden in my heart and James in Marie’s heart.
“Kayden.” I called as my eyes shot up in surprise.
“What’s wrong?” He asked noticing the change in my eyes.
“Where’s your locket? Why aren’t you with it?” I asked him, referring to the lover’s locket that I had gotten the both of us back then.
“What? I am with it.” he replied me and dipped his hands into his clothes, bringing it out from underneath his chest.
“Why do you have it underneath your shirt?” I asked him, going emotional in an instant for a reason that remained pretty much a mystery to me.
“What’s wrong? I won’t keep it there anymore if you don’t like” he said, placing his hands on my cheeks, cupping my face and raising it slightly so he could look up at my face.
“I don’t like it under your shirt! It makes me feel… it makes me feel like you are hiding my love for you, you do not want others to see it” I grumbled.
“Hey, I am sorry babe. It’s my fault, okay? It is all my fault, I have it out now, I am going to make sure everyone sees it from now on” he said and I grinned at him before pulling him into a tight hug.
“Thank you”
“You… you’re welcome.” Kayden mumbled as he hugged me to his huge figure.
“Let’s go in darling.” he said to me as I pulled back from the hug, he placed his hands on my waist and we got into the car while James and Marie got into the other car.
The thought of the both of them only being in the car made me somewhat nervous. What if Marie decides to ignore all what I have told her and still aims for James?
“What are you thinking about darling?” Kayden asked me noticing my silence.
“The thing is Marie actually kind of likes James, I would call it an infatuation cause this is the first time they are meeting and now they are both together alone in the car, do you think ur could harm James and Cassie’s relationship?” I asked him and he pressed his lips into a thin line.
“If he was another man, I would have told you to be scared for the relationship but not James, I don’t know why but I really do trust him, he loves Cassie, he is not the type to let go of a girl easily, he wouldn’t give in even if Marie tries, he is just like me, I also would not give in if any other lady tries.” he replied me and I giggled softly.
“I didn’t ask about you.” I mumbled with a shy smile.
“Just wanted to assure you yet again that this man is yours only.” he replied me and the drive went on with us talking and chatting normally till my phone rang.
I pouted slightly before staring at the caller ID with a smile on my face, it was Cassie.
“Hey Cass, I bet you are not calling cause you want to hear my voice, is that right?” I asked her.
“C’mon, you are my friend and I was just going to check on you.” she replied me and I chuckled.
“You really do not have to lie, I know you want to talk to James.” I said to her.
“Since you got me….” She began with a drawl and I could bet that at this moment, she was twirling her hair between her fingers shyly.
“Then can I talk to him?” She requested.
“Why don’t you just call him directly? Why do I have to be the middleman here?” I asked her with a smile still on my face.
“C’mon, Samantha and also I called him but he did not pick up the call, hand the phone over to him, please.” she demanded but I hesitated before giving a reply. Why would James not give a response?
“I would do that in a minute, I will call you back when I reach him.” I said and quickly ended the call.
Before I could say another word, we heard the screeching of the car to a quick and sudden halt, it was the car that James and Marie were both in.
The door of the car opened and James stepped out, anger written on his face.
