The Mean Men That Women Have To Deal With

(12)

The rest of my day is spent in my room. I'm trying to finish Brave New World for english and I'm half way done when my mom walks in to my room to have our talk.

Her eyes and cheeks are puffy and her nose is red. She's been crying.

" What did he do?" I'm off my bed and starting to walk out of my room when she wraps her hands around me. We're the same height so her hugs are the best.

"Mom? What happened what did he do?"

"He just apologized and is going to come up here to do so to you as well. We talked and it went okay. He's not mad anymore he realizes that what he did was wrong and that you were acting in self defense." Her face is in my shoulder and the only reason I can hear her is because we're so close together.

"Are you sure he's being sincere? He might've just said that to make you shut up." You never know with these men. They're all trash.

"I'm sure. Just also try to behave yourself okay. I know you don't like all of this but please try to act like you do?" She has lifted her head now and is looking right into my eyes. And I can see my self in the reflection of her eyes. We have nothing In common but our eyes. And I hate that so much.

"Okay mom. I will. I love you." Is all I say and then I hug her tighter because I know she needs it. And then David walks in.

He knocks this time which I'm surprised about, but it's an improvement.

"Hey." He puts his hand up as if to wave but doesn't, just leaves it there in mid air. He puts it back down awkwardly and then starts walking towards me and my mom.

"Look I'm sorry for what I did. I don't know why I was so upset over what you said over breakfast and I shouldn't have been that upset. I will work on making things better between all of us from now on." Wow a decent apology. All my father ever said was sorry kid and walked out the room. Maybe David really isn't that bad. But I can't let my guard down even if it is a good apology.

"Thank you for apologizing to me. And I will also work harder to improve and not overreact and to try to accommodate." He nods and then we're being pulled into each other by my mom's hands into one big group hug. It's quite uncomfortable but it's nice.

I see Jason out of the corner of my eyes as my mom is hugging us tighter and I try to break free. I manage but it was a struggle. I get to Jason and then grab one of his hands and pull him into the group hug that my mom forced. And we're all just there. Hugging and laughing. Like a normal family. Like a happy family. Like happy people.

And then it hits me that, this is too good to be true. Isn't it? We were all just fighting half an hour ago and now are here laughing and hugging. And I'm getting whiplash from everything happening in a span of an hour. And then a pair of strong arms pick me up and spin me around. I look down and its Jason. Is this what sisters and brothers do? Pick each other up and spin each other. And laugh in each other's arms and play around like a normal family does? Well there's no way we are more than family. Right? I'm Thinking too much. I can hear mom and David laughing in the background. And then it isn't the background noise anymore and I'm here again. With them. I'm being put down by Jason and I'm dizzy. But this is a different kind of dizzy. This isn't the dizzy I'm used to. And I love this kind of dizzy.

And then the laughter dies down and I flop onto my bed. Mom and David leave hand in hand after they tell us they're gonna cook some food. Jason doesn't leave. He's standing about a foot from where I am sitting at the foot of the bed.

"I hope you know he's never laughed like that since my mom passed." What? Is that why he was standing at the door at first? Just admiring? Why is he telling me this anyway? "I think he has a chance to change now that he's found somebody." He's looking right at me with those eyes of his. The same gaze he does where he strips me with his eyes analyzes every little detail.

"And what about you Mr Jason? Ive never seen you laugh like that since I've got here." I move so I'm supporting myself on the bed with my hands behind me. He seems to notice this.

"And neither have you miss Leslie." I guess he's right. I forgot the last time I've laughed like that.

"Well..." He starts walking towards me as I start talking. "Wait what are you doing?" I put my right foot up on his chest to stop him and instead he takes it in his hand and moves it aside. His hand is trailing up my leg as he gets closer. What is happening? Is he really doing what I think he's doing?

"Jason what are you doing?" I have my hand on his chest now. I don't know if I want him closer that he already is. His hand is on my thigh and almost to my butt and his face is only about six inches away from mine. One of his legs is in-between mine. "Jason!"

"Yes? Do you want me to stop?" Shit. Do I? Do I want him to stop? Yes. No. Yes. Yes I do.

"Yes." It comes out croaky and breathless though. He smirks knowing I don't really mean it, but he gets up anyways. He helps me sit up and then he starts leaving the room.

"You look beautiful when you laugh like that miss Leslie. I hope I get to see it again." He winks and then he finally leaves my room, shutting the door behind me.

What the FUCK just happen? He did not just do that. And why the hell would he say that afterward?!? But why did I kinda want him to keep going? And he knew that. I know he did.

I grab a pillow and scream into it knowing this is the only way no one will hear me. I'm kicking my legs and screaming into my pillow when I hear a knock at my door scaring the shit out of me.

The door is open now and it's Jason again but he's not looking at me the way he was before he left my room. It's less... I don't know just less everything.

"Dinner is ready miss Leslie." He's smiling a little and he waits for me to get up before he leaves my room. I fix my hair and then head downstairs for a very uneventful dinner with everyone. If only my heart didn't start racing everytime Jason so much as glanced at me. Or moved in that matter.
