CH 27: Family

I wake in his lost in him arms.

Not exactly in the same position that we went to sleep.

Yes, my arms are still pressing up against his chest, but his arms are no longer around my waist. One arm is slung across my back, and the other is on my neck.

Our legs are tangled in each other.

We're too close in my option, and I blush a deep red, deeper than the Red Hood's helmet.

I breathe out slowly, and calm myself down. I shift to try and get out of his arms, without waking him up, but he has a vice like hold.

So, I stay content, watching him until he wakes up, his chest rising and falling in a set pattern.

You're alive, Viv. Alive.

Jason, suddenly awake, cracks his eyes open. He chuckles, and I feel it as it shudders along his chest, "How long were you watching me?" His voice is scratchy from just waking up, and I honestly think it's the hottest thing I've ever heard.

I smirk, knowing exactly how to bring down his ego a notch or two.

What, like it's hard?

"Not long, I couldn't get out your arms, you big teddy bear!" I accuse.

His head cranes over mine, "Is that all you see me as?" Jason asks, pouting.

"Yes, now let me go. I need to go pee." I start to struggle to get out of his arms.

He starts leaning over me, only caging me in. "Not until you take it back."

"Take back what?" I ask, feigning innocence.

He grips me tighter.

"Jason, you're crushing me!" I exclaim, as he puts his full body weight on mine.

"Say it."

"No."

"Say it."

"No."

"Viviana." When he says my name, it sends shivers down my back.

All I want to do is kiss him right now.

Woah, woah, woah, where did that come from?

I try to hide by blush from turning my head away, "Fine! Jason, you're more than just my personal teddy bear. Now let me go!" I whine.

He lets go of me, and Jason laughs after I almost trip as I scurry to go to the bathroom.

While I'm in there, I decide to shower.

I don't have any clothes, so I just decide to steal one of Jason's sweaters, and keep wearing my shorts.

I go to the kitchen, and I smell bacon, and hear it sizzling on the stove. At the same time, Jason is flipping pancakes high into the air.

Show off.

"Jason, you didn't have to do all this..." I say as I enter the room.

"You took care of me last night, it was the least I could do for you. Besides, everyone tells me I make a really good breakfast."

I roll my eyes at his slight innuendo, you'll have to forgive him, he's still a teenage boy at heart.

"Haha, very funny Jason."

We eat breakfast together.

I have to practically Jason to my car, to take him to the Manor. He complains about not being able to ride his bike, so I glare at him, because he knows the exact reason I didn't get on his motorcycle.
