His Sweet Sunflower

7. Oh, are you crying?

James moved away from the door and stood behind a bunch of guys when Nora Walked in with Sarah and the other two girls. He didn't want her to see him right away. He wanted to sneak up on her when she least expected so he could enjoy her shocked reaction. Before he could make a move, Jenny came over and pulled him to the side.

" Hey sexy, wanna go upstairs and I can show you my new bra?" Jenny tried to do her best impression of a seductress.

"I'm a little busy, so I'll have to take a rain check on that," James replied distractedly.

Jenny rolled her eyes. "Oh please, are you seriously gonna spend the whole party staring at that loser Nora? Don't think I didn't notice. Just forget about her for once." Jenny was irritated. "Besides, it looks like Mason decided to make a move on her already. Maybe that stupid little virgin will finally get laid tonight." she laughed.

"He is doing what... " James suddenly felt his blood begin to boil. He never once thought anyone would approach Nora, let alone hit on her. The thought of someone touching her beside him made him want to destroy everything in front of him. He walked towards the main living room where Sarah and the girls were hanging out in the beginning and saw Nora talking to Mason. He couldn't hear what Mason was telling her. She was smiling brightly. James's heart ached a little.

Nora would never smile at him like that...

I will get that prick later, but first, I need to deal with you, Nora...James thought to himself.

He saw Nora getting up and figured it was time to show himself. He ignored Jenny behind him and quickly walked towards Nora and followed her. He grabbed her arm before she made it inside, dragged her into the hallway, and then pushed her against the wall.

He leaned down to look at her face, which was only a few inches away. Her hair smelled like fresh cherry blossom, and he thought he'd lose all of his senses. He kept his cool and stared hard into her eyes.

"What..what are you doing, James?" she finally cried out. "Please let me go." She pleaded.

James didn't move. Instead, he tightened his grip around her waist with one hand and held her chin up with the other.

"Not a chance, little Sunflower. I've been waiting to get you alone so I can give you a warning." James replied with a cruel smile.

Confusion flickered in her eyes for a second, and then her eyes widened. "What kind of a warning?" Her heart was pounding hard. He was too close.

James held his gaze on Nora for a couple of moments. "well... for one, who told you you could flirt with Mason? Do you really think you have a chance with a guy like that? Did you get all dolled up for him?"

"I wasn't flirting!" Nora cried out. "And even if I was, it's none of your business. You don't own me, now please leave me alone." Nora tried to squirm out of his grasp.

James laughed. "Oh, look at that, little miss Nora standing up for herself for once, but guess what? It's not that easy because you know what? You are my plaything, and I'll never let some pretty boy take you away from me. You are mine Jones, get it through the pretty little head of yours." James said menacingly and brushed his lips lightly on Nora's right cheek.

Nora shivered at his sudden touch and put her hand on his chest. "Why are you doing this?" She whispered.

"Because I hate stupid little girls like you who act all innocent and think they are better than everyone. I want to show you what guys like me can do to girls like you." James replied.

"Please... I don't think I'm better than you, I promise." Nora said. Her eyes started to tear up. She didn't understand why he thought of her this way. She had never done anything to give him that kind of impression.

"Bullshit. Oh, are you crying? Fuck....you are pathetic." James sneered. He hugged her closer and tighter, then nuzzled her neck. She shivered as his warm breath tickled her.

Nora buried her face on his chest as she had nowhere to go. "I'm not crying, please just let me go, and I'll go home," she whispered.

"Nope, you are coming with me." With that, James took her arm and dragged her into the living room.
