Chapter 20: Jason's Proposal

******

"You were right. Someone was sending information to them," said Grace.

Ella and Grace were talking on a phone call. Ella replied, "Don't let anyone know about this. I can't leave Jason like this right now. We'll be talking about this somewhere else. Don't make any inquiries about today's attack. Wait for my words."

"Copy that," replied Grace. The call ended. 

"You can go if you want. I want to be alone," said, Jason.

"I'll be there till the end," replied Ella. Jason found these words very deep. He was looking at her without blinking his eyes. Jason had always found himself alone. Only two people were with him in his worst times, Rory and his mother, but this time it was Ella too.  

"You can cry if you want. It's okay, " said Ella.

After hearing this, tears started falling from his eyes like water from a tap at that second. Ella's words were like building blocks in the broken situation of Jason. The sun was up and as promised Ella was there with Jason till the morning. 

"I think we should go," said Ella.

"I told you before, you can go if you want. I'll stay with her," replied Jason.

"They aren't letting you meet her. It's better that you should take some rest," replied Ella.

"Why do you act like boss? I told you, I'll leave when I want. Just don't think that you can run the whole world on your own and if you own this, I'm not part of it," Jason replied loudly in anger. 

"I'm leaving. I was busy with work and you wanted to spend some time with me, so we went to my workplace. So that we can complete our work and spend some time. This is what you've to say to everyone at home. Remember?"  Ella replied.

"I know that," replied Jason.

"Don't think you're alone. Everyone is waiting for you at home," Ella said as to motivate him and left.

Ella reached Matthews's mansion. She got ready and with everyone was settled at the dinning table for breakfast.

"Where's Jason?" asked Indie.

"He was left with some work which was needed to done. He'll join us soon," replied Ella knowing the fact he'll not come but she had a feeling for what she said last to him will make him come here.

"Now let's stop talking and eat," Grandma reminded everyone.  

While everyone was enjoying the breakfast, one of the servant came and said, "Madam, Jason sir has arrived." 

"Okay," Grandma replied and the servant left. Concurrently, Janson entered the scene.

"Good morning!" said Indie.

"Good morning!" replied Jason.

"What took you so long?" asked Lorenzo.

"There were some things," Jason replied and with a low mood took the stair for his bedroom.

"I've completed my breakfast," Ella replied. "Grandma, if you don't mind can I go see Jason?"

"Of course. Take care of him. He seem tired," replied Grandma.

"Thank you grandma," Ella said and left for the bedroom.

Ella entered the room. "What happened? Did doctor said something?" she asked.

Jason who was facing the wall turned around to Ella. His face was full of tears. "What happened? Why are you crying?" Ella asked in tense looking at his situation.

Jason ran and hugged Ella. Ella was confused about what he was doing. "Don't confuse me. Tell me what happened," she asked again. 

"Doctor told me that her health isn't improving. It's hard for her to wake up," Jason replied in crying voice.

"It's hard not impossible. Trust me. Everything will be all right," Ella replied in convincing voice.

They were still hugging each other. Ella kept her hands over Jason to calm him down. After some time, "My mom has invited us for lunch. So in the afternoon, I'll pick you up from your office... I'll go get ready. " said Ella and went to the closet room.

While she was sitting on the dressing table doing her face, Jason came and covered her eyes with his hands. Don't open your eyes until I say. 

After few seconds, "Now, open your eyes," Jason said. When she opened her eyes, there was a necklace having big blue stones outlined with diamonds on her neck. Her beauty more highlighted because of this necklace.

"What's this?" Ella said. She stood up from the chair and faced towards Jason.

"A necklace!" said Jason and laughed a little

"Can you tell me why's this on my neck?" asked Ella.

"Because I brought it for you," answered Jason.

"Why?" asked Ella.

"Because I'm your husband," Jason said.

"But I'm not your wife," said Ella. She take offs the necklace, gives it in Jason's hand and tries to leave but Jason pulls her back. His hands were on her waist pulling her close as the distance between them is not ever an inch holding the necklace on his other hand. "Your softness is more killing than you anger," he said.

"W-What do you mean?" Ella asked in struck voice. His move made her heart beat fast like a bullet train.

"I brought this necklace to give you a proposal," Jason replied.

"What proposal," Ella asked.

"Your presence make me live a day more. Your words doesn't make me alone anymore. Your smile make me a relief but your pain kills me everyday. I want to be part of your each and everything. Your love has become a drug for me know," said Jason. 

Hearing to this, Ella's butterflies were soon became into anger. "What rubbish!" she said and pushed him and made a distance with him.

"A proposal," Jason replied.

"Not possible," Ella replied.

"Love can make everything possible darling," Jason replied.

"Don't call me that. How can you propose me when your girlfriend is in a serious condition?" asked Ella.

"Oh. Forget about her. Right now, I'm with you so I'll think about you," Jason replied.

"You can't love me," Ella said.

"Why not?" Jason said. 

"Then prove that," Ella said.

"How?" Jason asked.

"Kiss me. Kiss me deep. Kiss me that much deep that this moment will be intense forever. Kiss me until I undo my clothes for you," Ella said in deep and intense voice.

Jason was out of control. He grabbed her and pushed her off the wall. He placed his right leg between hers. He placed his both of his hands on the wall around Ella blocking her so that she couldn't escape. He bends to get close to her. His nose was touching hers and the lips were about start the work.
