The Bet [A Jason McCann Love Story] -ON HOLD-

Chapter 7 Part 2

I stumbled down the stairs rapidly, my wet clothes clutched in my hand. 

"Jason" I called, walking into the living room where he had Elizabeth on his lap, both of their eyes glued to the TV. "What do I do with the wet clothes?"

He snapped his gaze over to me, eyeing me up and down, a small smile appearing on his face.

"See I told you'd look adorable in my clothes" He commented, completely ignoring my previous question. A confused expression took over my face as I stared at his gorgeous face, my cheeks probably burning by now.

"You never said that" I mumbled, fixing my eyes from his face down to my bare feet. His husky chuckle echoed through the living room.

"Well I was thinking it. Oh and the wet clothes, just wrap it up in the towel and put it next to the couch or something" He replied, shrugging his shoulders, his attention tuning back to the TV. I nodded and turned on my heels, silently walking out of the room and back into the bathroom. I picked up the towel I had previously used and wrapped it around my wet clothes.

I set it on top of the sink and made my way back out of the bathroom, shutting the light in process. Silently, I walked down the stairs and back into the living room, making sure he didn't hear me. Jason was looking down at Elizabeth, curling her soft looking, chocolate hair in his fingers. Her head as rested on his chest and her left hand was entwined with Jason's free hand. The sight of them made a small smile appear on my face. It was truly amazing how he seemed to love her. I never in a million years imagines, the school jock, Jason McCann, having a kid.

Shifting in my spot, I felt my waist band for my phone but it wasn't there. Shit. I quickly turned around and hurried back to the bathroom. I grabbed the bundled up towel and scattered the clothes around the bathroom sink until my soaked my phone fell out of the back pocket of my wet skinny jeans. Muttering a few curse words under my breath, I clicked the power button hoping it was just off. But to no avail, my phone wouldn't turn on. I let out a long sigh, backing up against the wall. I slammed my head softly onto the bathroom wall, running a hand through my hair. Loud footsteps echoed through the hallway and soft knock on the bathroom door made my body flinch.

"Y-Yeah?" I called.

"Are you okay?" Jason's angelic voice rang through my ears. "You've been in there quite some time"

"U-Um yeah" I lied. I could hear Jason shift in his spot from the outside of the door.

"You sure? You don't sound alright" he insisted. I let out another sigh and pushed myself of the bathroom wall, wrapping my clothes back into the towel. I then opened the bathroom door and walked out to see Jason leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah, just my phone. It died" I replied, holding up my pink iPhone. Jason chuckled.

"That's it? You can use my charger" he suggested. I shook my head, running my hand through my hair once more.

"No, Jason, It died. For good" I muttered. "I'm so dead"

Jason moved his hands onto my shoulder, massaging them lightly with his big hands, soothingly.

"Why? Doesn't it have warranty you can just get another one" he exclaimed. I shook my head, chuckling dryly.

"Yes, I have warranty but it doesn't cover physical damage and this is like my 10th phone this year" I commented. "My dad is going ti kill me"

Jason felt silent, but his hands didn't stop moving on top of my shoulders, still massaging them soothingly. Small footsteps interrupted the conformtable silence, and Elizabeth appeared at the entrance clutching her teddy bear to her chest.

"Daddy, come on! you mwissing the mwovie" she begged.

"I'll be there in a minute, Eli" he replied. She nodded and ran back out of the room. I hesitantly bit the inside of my cheek, watching Jason as he turned his attention back to me.

"Come on, let's go watch the movie. When it stops raining I'll take you home" he insisted. I nodded and wiggled out of his grip, walking past him into the living room. I slumped down on the other end of the couch and watched Jason stroll into the living room and take his previous seat, setting Elizabeth back on his lap. He patted the spot right next to him on the couch, fixing his eyes right into mine.

I hesitantly nodded and scooted over till the point where our thighs were touching. He easily slithered his left arm around my shoulder, his heat automatically radiating off of his body to mine. I have to admit, it felt nice to be in this position but it also felt weird.

What is it's just one of his tricks? My head hung low, my eyes focused on my hands. Blocking out all the sound, the only thing I could hear my negative thoughts. Snapping me out of my daze, his hot breath reached my ear, making shivers go down my spine.

"What are you thinking about?" Jason wondered. I shook my head, almost instinctively, indicating I didn't want to talk about it.

"It's nothing" I whispered.

"Oh come on. Tell me!" he begged. I looked up at him, my green eyes meeting his mocha eyes.

"Just.. like I said the other day. It weird to see this side of you" I murmured.

His facial expression was unreadable. He looked down at Elizabeth, who was half asleep, running his fingers through her fairly long hair.

"What do you mean?" he questioned. I shook my head again.

"Don't worry about it" I replied. He nodded, moving his head back up so his lips were brushing against my ear.

"So how about that date with me on Friday?' he implied. I groaned, annoyed. 

He isn't going to let it go is he?

"Fine!" I muttered, giving in to his third plead. He moved his lips down from my ear to my cheek.

Puckering his lips tightly he pressured them against my cheek, making a kiss sound when he pulled away.

"Good" he whispered, seductively.
