Kimberly's suspicious, what exactly is going on with James?

Kimberly frowns as she bites into a fry. She glances over at James who winks and exposes her to his charming smile.  It does not fool her; this time Kimberly can tell something is up.

James has been acting jumpy since they had left the tower.  Whenever he thought she wasn’t looking he checked his phone, she has the sneaking suspicion he does not want to be here.

“What’s going on?”  Kimberly asks feeling annoyed.

“What do you mean?” James smiles his trademark smile.

 

It’s not going to work on me this time. Looking out the window, she notices her reflection had started to smile. She quickly covers her mouth with her hand.

When she takes her hand back the smile had disappeared.

 

It’s only then she notices more the James’ face in the reflection. He has his phone under the table.

Kimberly thought he might be cheating, and she was pretty sure it’s with that s**t she used to call a best friend. Heather.

 

“Who are you talking to? Is it Heather?”  Kimberly feels her neck warm with anger.

 

Kimberly doesn’t look at him directly. Instead she watches his reflection in the window.

For a split second James looks shocked before he suppresses a smile. “What are you talking about?” he mumbles absently a smile playing across his lips.

 

“You’re obviously talking to someone under there.” She hisses grabbing his arm. “Tell her good night, already.” 

James just shakes his head there is a spark of amusement in his eyes that made Kimberly pause.

Kimberly knows he was tired of her jealously but she couldn’t shake the feeling James was playing her.

“I’m getting sick of you lying to me James.” She hates everything about James but she knows it wouldn’t last. She couldn’t stay mad at him for long, especially when she isn’t sure.

“I wasn’t lying,” he says lifting his phone on the table. ‘I was actually trying to get your wallet back. David had it.”

“He stole it!” Kimberly says angrily. “That guy is so creepy. Did you see the way he was staring at us? He was look-” Kimberly trails off, noticing James’ marked expression.

 “What’s wrong?”

“It’s not like that; he found it in the lobby.”

“Oh. Are you guys friends or something?”

“Yeah, kind of.”

“Oh.” Could James…nah.  Kimberly shakes her head; they had been dating for months. He wouldn’t, no one would do that for so long.

She ate another fry, just to do something. She felt an awkwardness she doesn’t quite understand. Maybe she doesn’t want to understand.

Has potential. Maybe more action. The chapters go by very slow.
