Way Back Into Love

Chapter 9

It was midnight when I got home. And when I say home, I meant my condo.

I tiptoed to the kitchen because I am so damn hungry.

"Jane?" I was about to bite the pizza when Jason came in.

"Hey"

He sooooo hot. Why would he wear a fitted v-neck shirt? Didn't he know it makes me drool?

"You're drooling," he chuckled.

Even his voice is hot, damn.

"Huh?"

"Here, love. You have to eat," he heated the food left for me at the table.

"Thanks?"

"You're welcome"

Awkward silence.

And he's staring at me. He's staring. He's staring. He's staring. Oh my god. I can't eat when he's staring.

"So," I said.

"So.." He repeated.

"So.., uh. I... Why are you still awake?"

"I am waiting for you"

"Awww. Thanks "

"What took you so long?"

Omfg. I knew this would come.

Okay. I practiced this speech a million times. I have to say this.

"Okay, listen. I went home at midnight because I was being interrogated by my staffs-"

"You were interrogated by your staffs?"

"-yes. Now, halfway through the 'interrogation', someone suggested that we should have a party because , you know, Friday? And then we drove to this club and I can't do anything because I had a panic attack during the interrogation and then we partied until I realized I should be home because you might worry about me so I went home and I'm soooo sorry. I am drunk. A bit"

He's listening. He's drinking it all in. I don't know if he would. I don't care. I am drunk. I am dizzy. I need to vomit.

I pushed the table and ran to the washroom and then I threw up.

Gross.

I am so dizzy. I can't get up anymore. I threw up once again but I knew it wasn't the bowl I vomited into. Hell, I don't care.

And then I closed my eyes.

The sun was up when I woke up... on the bed? I don't remember falling asleep on the bed.

Who changed my clothes? Oh my god. My underwear is changed. Oh shit. Did Jason...? Shit. Holy shit.

I got up quickly and found him lying on the mattress on the foot of the bed. I stopped for a second, admiring him. He looks so peaceful, except he looks stressed.

I can bring him to the spa, with me, of course. With the scented candles. Hmmm, it smells like strawberries and vanilla. And it really smells so good and.... What.. what's that smell?

I got up and ran to the kitchen if there's any clue but none. I ran to the living room next but also found none and then I went to see the washroom.

And.. Ugh.

Puke. On the bowl.

Ewww.

I flushed it. Oh my god. It smells.

After I flushed it, I looked for Jason but he has no clue of existence in this room, obviously because he left a note that says:

"Jane, I'm sorry I didn't made you breakfast. I'm really sorry. I love you :* -J"

I'm quite grateful for him not cooking breakfast for me because I know he didn't know how to cook. Yes. He didn't.

But I wonder, where did he go?

He was here a while ago not to mention, he's sleeping. What the hell?

He didn't mention it here. Where he went.

Oh well.

I better go shopping. First step in fighting Belle is to have a taste in fashion.

Carmen's POV

Where is he? Ugh. He's an hour late.

"Maybe he's stuck in a traffic or..."

"I didn't understand why he is late! He should be with me this time! I haven't seen him like an eternity."

"Calm down, Carmen."

"Shut it, Louis. You're not helping."

"Well, I am .. for the past few years."

"Don't. Try. Me."

Yeah, right. Louis has been with me for how long it is. We're not together, I swear. I love someone else.

And that someone is fast approaching.

"Hey"

I felt his lips again. The soft lips I always wanted to taste over and over again. He kissed me as if I'm the most important thing in the world he can hold on to.

And I kissed him back, with all the passion inside of me.

"And I'm out." Louis got out so I was left with this gorgeous guy in this room.

"What took you so long?" I asked. Actually, it took him really long and he knows that I do not have patience in waiting.

"Sorry. I have to take care of something."

"Yeah, right. And that something is another girl with-"

"Hey, I love you. Okay? Don't be jealous. I will always love you."

And he kissed me once again.

Harder this time. I pulled his shirt off and so did he pulled mine. He laid me on the bed gently and kissed the spot I go crazy for.

He started to kiss my collarbone and made its way down.

I can feel his breath on my skin as he threw away my clothes and began to make love to me.

"Tell me you love me, Carmen. Because I love you."

"I love you, Jason."
