I Hate That I Loved You!

40- Silent Promises

Jason's loving gaze landed over the petite figure in his arms.

He felt something warm unfolding in his heart.

Is this how you feel when you are in love with someone?

This feeling when your love is reciprocated with equal passion is something out of this world. It is so refreshing!

His lips curved up into a smile.

The unsaid confession between them was indeed beautiful, but he didn't want it to happen this way. He had planned a special date and a romantic proposal. But he canceled it himself in a fit of rage.

Well, It was his fault for overreacting! He felt a bit guilty.

He made a promise in his heart that he will give her a grand proposal of her dreams. He will cherish her and will do everything to make her happy. That smile of hers was his antidote, that has healed the deepest wound of his heart.

Every woman desires a special proposal that sweeps her of her feet. He made a silent promise to fulfill all her wishes. He caressed her auburn hair affectionately and tightened his hold around her.

Sara felt contented in his arms as if she had found her abode. She felt secure and safe in his embrace. She felt smitten when he tightened his hold around her waist. His hold conveyed lots of silent promises. She also made a silent promise to love him back with all her heart, and do everything for him to make him the happiest man of this world.
She tightened her arms around his waist in response.

"Have you eaten?" Jason asked while placing his chin on her head.

"No. Not yet. What about you?" A muffled response came from the figure snuggled into his embrace.

Jason looked down at the petite figure who was completely snuggled fit into his arms as if they are glued together as one person.

"Well, I am hungry now" he grabbed her chin using his finger and lifted her face. Then, he placed a quick kiss on her lips. "for this."

"you.!" Sara held her fist up and hit him on his chest. A blush spread across her face.

Such a tease!

She never thought Jason will have such a notorious and romantic side to him.

He was angry as a fuming dragon when he entered her office, now it is all spring, flowers, and breeze around him.

She clicked her tongue in amusement. How fickle this man is!

"How is your headache?" Jason asked suddenly. He completely forgot about her headache. His anger got better for him. He sighed and massaged her head lightly using his fingertips.

"I am okay. Thank you for coming." Sara smiled. Her hazel eyes sparkled at the thought, How their closeness has skyrocketed in just half an hour!

"Let's order something to eat."  She released his waist and walked around her desk.

She dialed her Secretary's intercom and instructed her to bring two potions of her regular meal from their Office café.

Jason observed her placing a quick order. He went ahead and occupied a seat on the grey couch placed next to the desk.

He took out his phone and sent a quick message to his secretary. Then, he leaned his head on the couch's headrest and closed his eyes for a while. He was tired due to improper sleep. Mostly because of overthinking. This idiotic brain!

"Sorry, there won't be many options here in our café, but Scrambled eggs burritos and stewed pork trotters are quite good." Sara turned to look towards him. She saw a tired look on his face. She felt bad for ignoring him and not paying attention to him because of her work.

Hearing her voice, Jason opened his eyes, and look towards her.

As soon his deep blue eyes met with hers, her heart skipped a beat. His deep blue eyes staring at her with so much adoration, that Sara felt a strange fluttering sensation in her stomach.

Jason gestured her to come near him.

"come here."  He spoke in a deep voice and patted the seat next to him.

Sara smiled and strode towards him.

Jason reached out for her hand.

As soon as, she placed her hand in his palm, Jason pulled her over. Even before she realized, she was straddling on his lap. 

Jason buried his head in the crook of her neck. "It's ok. Don't worry about it. Anyway, I am happy to be here with you. So anything is fine by me".

Sara leaned on him and gently stroke his hair.

"Well, I never thought you would be so good with such cheesy sweet nothings."

Jason chuckled at her remark. "You don't know me yet Ms. Williams."

He held her face between his palms. It rained kisses all over her face. He spoke in mid of each kiss.

"I...Am...Very...Lovable...But...also very...Demanding... Possessive..and...Big...Attention-seeker."

Sara almost choked. She reflexively covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.

"Sara!" Jason called out her name in a hoarse seductive voice and continued his kisses. His lips trailed down from her cheeks to her ears to her nape.

Sara was moved but also a bit nervous. The intensity and feeling behind his kisses have changed over time.

 

A sudden knock on the door brought them both out of their sweet little bubble. 

Jason stopped abruptly.

Sara was thankful for the knock. She was worried they both might lose control at this pace.

Sara stood up immediately and adjusted her clothes. She went and opened the door.

"This your meal Ms.Williams". Her secretary's voice came from the other side.

"Thank you." Sara collected the meal box from her secretary and closed the office door.

She placed meal boxes on the table and handed tissue and fork to Jason.

"Let's dig in. I am very hungry."

Jason shook his head helplessly. "Yes, indeed food comes first."

Sara giggled at his sarcastic remarks. "Indeed. Now eat."

She picked up a piece of the stew pork trotter and stuff it in his mouth.

Lunch went by smoothly. 

Sara was wrapping up the boxes to clean the table, just then, another knock was heard.

Jason quickly stood up and went outside.
His secretary was here.

He came back after a couple of minutes and placed a medicine bag consisting of headache medicine and pain reliever ointment on her desk.

"Eat it if it gets worse. Drink more water. I will pick you up in the evening. Okay?"

Sara was overwhelmed.

She gave a quick nod. Jason placed a quick kiss on her forehead and left with his secretary.

With a happy smile on her face, Sara resumed her case study for upcoming court trails.
