‘I wonder what it says,’ I thought, tempted to read the note.

Jason wouldn't mind if I read it, and even if he did, what he doesn't know wouldn't kill him. I slowly began to open it up, still contemplating on whether I should read it or not.

“Alex, what’s taking you so long? Half time’s almost over!” Jason exclaimed, making me jump about five feet into the air.

“You almost gave me a heart attack!” I said, catching my breath.

“What’s that in your hand?”

“Um… Your cleats,” I replied, handing over his football shoes and putting the not behind my back.

“No, the other hand.”

“There’s nothing in my other hand,” I lied.

“Yes, there is,” he grabbed for my hand.

“No, there isn’t,” I insisted, quickly slipping the note inside my back pocket.

“Let me see then.”

I showed him my hands, before changing the subject.

“You have your cleats. Let’s go… Hey, Jason… Why is there a pink bra on the floor?” I asked, still confused about that.

He shook his head, “Don’t ask… just don’t.”

I finally went home after the game ended, with our team winning in the end. Go Jaguars! As soon as I stepped foot in the door, I quickly took the note and put it somewhere safe. My mother wasn't here, so Jason ended up staying with me for a little while, after we both took a bath… not together.

“Alex!” he yelled, “Make me some food.”

“Jason… you’re funny,” I said, acknowledging the fact that he thought I would.

“Oh, yeah. I forgot you couldn't cook… or even make food.”

“As a matter of fact, I am an excellent cook for your information.”

“Sure. You probably set your microwaves on fire.”

“I’m not like you, Jason, and I will have you know that my microwaved noodles are the bomb,” I replied smartly, as we both bursted out laughing.

“Okay. How about we both cook food for each other and the loser has to be the winner’s slave for a week?” Jason proclaimed.

“Challenge accepted,” I agreed, knowing that I’d win. Jason had good cooking skills, but nobody could beat this Mama.
