The Temptation || on hiatus

Chapter Fourteen; Babe?

Jason held me in his arms for what seemed like hours. I pulled away and looked up at him. He wiped my eyes that were dripping black trails of mascara. "I'm so sorry for saying what I did. I was upset and angry, I didn't mean it." "But why? Why'd you leave?" He sighed and looked in my eyes. "Your phone got a text. From Luke." "But I didn't see any new text messages or the number?" "I deleted it and blocked it." I nodded. He placed a finger under my chin and lifted my head up so I could look at him.

"I want you to be safe." He smiled down at me. He looked into my eyes again. But it was different. His eyes were filled were curiosity. His face slowly leaned down. I got butterflies in my stomach just from him being that close to me. His lips just barely brushing against mine showing he didn't know if he should go through with it. I answered it for him and leaned up towards him making our lips fully connect. The nerves in my stomach went even more crazy. His hand caressed my cheek as our lips molded perfectly together. He pulled away looking into my eyes. He smiled and his face flushed into crimson. "Uh, I-I'm sorry. I-" "Its fine." I giggled.

I leaned in his chest for another hug. I felt safe in his arms. "It's working." I mumbled in his chest. "What is?" He asked in a confused tone. "I'm safe. You make me feel safe." I smiled in his chest, inhaling the smell of his cologne. "I make you feel safe?" I nodded. I could tell he smiled before kissing the top of my head. He looked at the clock. It read 10:27. I was honestly exhausted. "Are you tired?" He asked, noticing my drowsiness. I nodded. "You could stay here for tonight." He walked to the closet and grabbed a shirt tossing it towards me. I motioned him with my finger telling him to turn around. He did as he was told and his back faced me. I quickly stripped off my clothing and threw Jason's shirt over my head. It was like a dress! It was almost to my knees. "Okay, done." He turned around and giggled at my appearance.

"It's not funny, you giant." I pouted. He put a hand over his heart playfully. "Oh, I'm so hurt." He playfully rolled his eyes. I slid under the covers and felt the cold fabric run against my bare legs. I shivered quietly to myself. Before I could even notice, Jason was already in sweatpants shirtless. He slid under the covers with me and pulled me close to him. I wrapped an arm around his torso and snuggled into his chest. When I'm with Jason, I feel protected. And I like that feeling. I haven't felt like that in a long time and I enjoyed it. I was a little colder then usual being in a T-shirt and that's it. I snuggled into Jason's chest.

About an hour later, Jason was sound asleep. He looks like a little baby puppy or something when he sleeps. It's adorable! Unfortunately for me, I was wide awake. I was upset cause I was really tired but couldn't just fall into it. His arm was still around me as I lay awake and listen to Jason softly breathing. I could hear his steady heartbeat as my cheek pressed close up to his warm skin. His stomach moved up and down with each breath he took. Suddenly, he rolled onto his stomach waking up slowly.

"Babe, are you awake?" He asked under his breath. 'Did he just call me babe?' I thought to myself. "I can't fall asleep." "And how long have you been awake?" "Since we first came into bed." I quietly said. I felt him move onto his side and grab my waist and pulled it into his. His fingers slowly ran through the ends of my hair. "Try to go to sleep Scarlett." I nodded small and found myself going into a drift. I slowly fell asleep to his soft breathing in my ear and the feeling of his soft fingertips trailing up and down my back.
