A Deal She Cant Refuse

(James Pov)

I walked over to Alex to... I guess make her feel better, I am worried about her loosing all that weight.

I grabbed a picnic chair no one was using and set it down besides Alex who looking moody.

"Hey Alex"

I sat besides her and waited for her to respond but she didnt say anything and acted like she was ignoring me.

(Alex Pov)

I watched everyone doing there own thing but I did not feel like I was really present, Right now I just wanted nothing more but to go and learn and try more things, yet I am stuck here.

I looked over at James trying to hold back a laugh as he seemed to be remembering something funny while staring straight at me.

This bastard... Is he holding back laughing at me!

This just annoyed me to no ends, I dont know why he is trying to hold back his laugh but I think it has something to do with me and being like this.

Which just infuriated me even more than before.

I ended up like this Because of him!

If he hadn't told me something so crazy, would I ever have such a impulsive reaction?...No! I wouldnt.

James walked over to pool and took a white chair that no one was using and started walking towards me propably to talk to me, but I didnt want to talk to him at all.

He brought over the chair greeted me but I ignored it as I was mad at the situation I ended up in all Because of him.

"Alex Hey" he waved his hands infront of my face trying to get my attention in his own comedic way but I didnt respond "Come on Alex" I didnt want to talk to him at all so I ignored him again and he let out a tired sigh.

(James's Pov)

*Sigh*

I know she must think I was the one responsible for getting her in trouble and I mean... I definitely played a part in it.... Maybe a major part but nonetheless I cant let her keep loosing weight because of all this stressing.

Me and Haley stopped Hiding her books because we felt bad and also worried about her and now the same thing happened and it was due to me.

I looked over at Alex who had turned her head away from me with her arms crossed trying to show me That she is ignoring me which I found to be funny and smiled at it.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Luckily she wasnt facing me so she didnt see it or else she would be even madder than she is now.

"Alex, How about this, Once your Punishment is over I will let you do anything online as long as it does not interfere with the real world or is at a really high level such as things involving Nuclear Bombs, State secrets, or taking huge sums of money etc and the things you do will all Obviously be monitored by Jarvis and your traces will be cleared so no one knows what you did except me of course.

I wont go around snoping but if It crosses a certain level then I will be informed.

the condition is that I will allow you to do everything on the condition that you wont keep it a secret like last time.

She looked slightly at me and seemed to be considering it but then turned her head away from me.

She wants more huh...

(Alex's pov)

Maybe that would have been enough to fix this before but now... Prices have gone up.

That's what he gets for laughing at me.

(James's Pov)

Alright then, I'll make a Deal she cant refuse.

"How about you can do all of the above plus I will negotiate with Mom to let you have free access to the computer on Weekends?"

She looked at me considering what I had said, Although i personally feel like that was just an act and she was really excited, but hey who am I to be so sure of what she is thinking.

(Alex Pov)

Deal!

I dont even need to think about it, this is great!

But I can't let it show on my face.

I looked over at James for a few seconds but I couldnt help but smile.

"Sure!"

(James pov)

So the serious face was just an act huh...

(Claire's pov)

Looking at the smiling Alex, It seems that James has managed to do something about her.

I looked over to Phil who had a smile on his face looking at James and The smiling Alex.

"I know you went in to talk to James, Claire what did he say?"

"He was serious about it"

I remembered his seriousness back there and held Phil's hands to comfort myself and leaned on him slightly.

"Phil... Doesnt it seem like James is just growing up so fast?"

Phil put his hands on my arm and brought me closer to him.

"Claire, That's just what kids are, One day you remember changing there diapers and cleaning up after the messes they made and like a flash you will see them all grown up, Living there own life, making the decisions of there lifes all by themselves.

I guess that is the Magic of children, They just grow up to fast, But Hey, James is still not that old, I'm sure he will make a mess and will need his parents to clean up after him.

I have a feeling we can do that for him atleast a few more times, and dont forget about Hayley and the rest"

"Haha yea, Kids do grow up fast... Phil... Let's be there for all of them"

"I promise claire, we will be there for them until they dont need us anymore"

"...Yea"

I hugged Phil and felt nostalgic thinking about when James and Hayley where Kids.

I couldnt help but let out a laugh remembering a certain event that happened with James.

"Phil... do you remember that time James went on a seesaw?"

Phil let out a laugh as he seemed to be remembering that incident.

"He was so scared Haha he was balling his little eyes out calling for his Mommy and Daddy"

I couldnt help but chuckle when Phil told what happened that day "Oh, Phil Hayley was on the other part of the Seasaw do you remember how much she was enjoying it?"

"Haha, Claire you could see it on Hayleys Face just how much fun she was having on that Seasaw scaring Her brother like that"

"Yea kind of reminds me of me and Mitch when we were younger"

"Claire am i supposed to be worried about weather Hayley and James are gonna be like you and Mitchell?"

I pushed Phil away with a smile, feeling much calmer now.

"Woah!"

Phil balanced himself and had a smile on his face.

"They have a much better relationship Me and Mitchel had at there age, I think they are gonna be Alright"

"Yea they are, Say Claire do you want to confiscate Hayleys Phone"

"Huuuuhhhh! Your evil... I love it let's do it once we go home, What reason should we give"

I was feeling so much better now and Phil had given such a fun idea to do that I decided to leave all that worrying and just have fun feeling like it's been forever since I felt this excited over something.
