I wake up to realize someone is holding me. I start to panic, thinking leaving Noah was just a dream. I grab the hand and felt that it was soft and smooth, not like Noah's. His hands were rough and moat of the time had blisters. I then remembered. Jason stayed the night with me. My heart started to beat fast. What was I thinking? I'm moving on too fast. But we didn't do anything but talk... Fuck....Jamie.
"Jason...are you awake?" He started to stir and moan.
"I am now. Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He yawned.
"Not really, except not to get caught by Jamie. I wouldn't hear the end of it." I turned to look at him. The sun from the blinds that sneaked in shines on him just right. His eyes were brighter and full of color oh such beauty. He was just a perfect shade of tan. His hair was a little messy, nothing a comb couldn't fix. My, he was a looker.
"What are you staring at?" He smiled. "You complained all last night about me staring at you. Is your turn now?" He leaned in and kissed my cheek, I bit my lip considering whether or not to kiss him back. I decided not to. He pats my leg.
"Come on, I don't think Jamie is awake yet. Too much too drink." He winked. How could not guy make me feel so warm and fuzzy.
I felt like a teen again sneaking him down the stairs and out the door. Gosh I'm 23 years old. I giggled to myself on the way down. We got to the door and he stopped before he went out.
"When do I get the pleasure of seeing you again?" His eyes pleaded.
"Tonight, climb up to my window." I winked and closed the door. I felt like a kid again, even though I'm still fairly young. I hear Jamie's door open and I quickly dashed to the downstairs bathroom.
"Nice to see you're up girlie. Did you like Jason? Or did you even make new friends at least?" She talked to me outside in the hallway.
I opened the door and nodded. "Jennifer seemed swell I guess, but Darlene was more interested in the food than me."
She laughed. "She eats a lot for a skinny girl!" She then darts into the bathroom. "But really, what about Jason! He couldn't keep his eyes off you my friend."
I rolled my eyes. "We became friends last night, I guess is a good thing. He's a sweetie pie." I smiled, thinking about last night.
"That's good. Do you mind if you preheat the over for me, I want to make some cinnamon rolls." I walk into the kitchen and turn the over to 350 degrees. "Done!"
I walk upstairs to take a shower before I eat.

Of course, Jamie wants to go shopping. She loves buying new clothes but I didn't mind. A couple new nice outfits wouldn't hurt. She got me a sleeveless teal up to above my knees dress and a new wallet. A dachshund was on it, she knew it was my favorite dog. I couldn't thank her enough!
"You have to invite him over and where that dress!" Jamie couldn't keep her eyes off. "He'd be begging you to take it off" she whispered. I blushed. I never did the like of one night stands and I'm pretty sure that's what would happen.
"I don't think so Jamie. Trying to start over." I throw her a questionable look. Why is she pushing me so hard to get with him? We'll, I did tell him to sneak over tonight but that's because I like how he talked to me and how I felt. He's....different. Something I need right now. But is he different than all the men I been with? I shake my head.
My phone vibrates. Shit it's Noah. I need a new phone.
"Where are you? Answer me NOW!" I couldn't breathe. I suddenly realize he could track me from my phone.
"Jamie...we need to go now. He's going to find me!" I drop my phone. She grabs it and throws it in the nearest trash can. She grabs me and pulls me out into th car.
"Christina it's okay I swear to god. He's really dumb an wouldn't think of looking for you through the tracker. I promise." She looks me dead in the eyes. I get in the car and start bawling. I thought I was free.
"We are getting you a new phone sweetie. So that why I can track you." She's trying to calm me, which worked a little.
"Can we please go home?" I whimpered.
"Yes we can."

-Tap tap-
I rule over and see him smiling at me through my window. I feel a rush of relief. I'm so glad he's here, I feel safe.
"Hey missy. Missed me?" He chuckled and looked down at his feet. I hugged him, all I needed was a hug right now.
"Are you okay?" He must of noticed my tears. I shook my head.
"Come on let's get you to bed." He whispered in my ear. I let him pick me up and carry me. He lays down next to me and I reach for his hand. His hand felt so perfect in mine. Stop!! You're rushing this.
"Was it your ex? Did he do something? Please tell me. You are worrying me." He begs. I sigh and told him what happened. All I got was silence.
"Let him find you and he'll see what happens, the price he'll pay." He said after a long silence. Almost sounded like he was gritting his teeth. "He'll regret the day he ever laid a hand on you."
I just nod my head and start to drift. It's been a long day....
"Hey Christina I'm- WHAT THE HELL?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!" Jamie walked in the next morning, pointing at Jason. He jumps up.
"Oh hey Jamie! Good morning!" He smiles and runs a hand through his hair." It's not what you think, I promise. You know how I am, I never go that far with a stranger." He lets out a shaky laugh. I just lay there, staring up at her.
She lets out a big sigh.
"Did you really climb up the side of my damn house into her room?" She puts a hand on her hip. "How romantic of you." She smirks. I smiled up at her.
Shaking her head, she leaves us along in my room. I turn over to see him.
"At least we don't have to sneak you out the front door." He lets out a laugh. He gets up heading for the door.
"So, tonight...can I take you out?" He looks down at the ground, moving his foot around. I didn't know what to say.
"Where to?" I barely got it out. His smile got bright.
"Anywhere you want, missy."
"We'll i do want to see a movie...and maybe eat a good dinner." I bite my lip and look up at him.
"My treat. You pick the movie and I will surprise you with a nice restaurant." He chuckles. "I'll see you around 5:30 Christina." He walks over and pecks my cheek, staring into my eyes for a second, sending butterflies all around my stomach.
"Bye...jason..." I whisper. He nods his head and walks out the door. I giggle for a minute. Jamie knocks on my door.
"So how many times have you snuck him in here?" She smiles at me.
"We'll the first night we meet, he carried me to bed and I asked him to stay then he came over last night." I start to strech.
"Nothing happens right? Because I don't want to start calling you a harlot in my head." She jokes with me.
"No no no. I don't do that anymore." I breathe a sigh of relief. I can finally start over fresh. Hopefully, this one will work out.
