Still holding on (Fell For The Bad One)

Chapter -9

Just as mom and I were about to leave for the Grey's house, Jason's mother came in. My confidence level had sunk to zero too, so I thought that if my mom left with Julia, I'll pretend to go to Jason's house and come back again. But guess my mum's smarter than me. My smirk vanished from my face, the moment I saw that there were no keys in the flower pot. I thought I'd wander in the street, and believe me, I did too for, like ten minutes. But then it was growing colder, so I decided to show some courage and ring the doorbell of the Greys house. I mean, what the hell is wrong with me ? A moment earlier, I was like ; "Shit's gonna get real tonight", and now I'm acting like a seventh grader. Just great.

"Where were you ? I was just going to come look for you. I got worried." Jason said while narrowing his eyes, in a concernful way. Great actor, he is. But man, was he looking hot. A tight fitting black T - shirt, with grey tracks. God, I even like him in tracks ! And his fragrance... Enough to help me have a peaceful sleep at night, with dreams about...Never mind.

"Worried ? Yeah right, you were worried. I'm not that dumb, okay?" I shouted, as a sudden wave of anger rushed me.

"We can sit in my room, if you want." He said, after a few seconds of silence. I said nothing, just let him lead the way.

I sat on the floor, working on his portait, while listening to R&b songs. And he sat on the bed, while adding details to my portrait. To be honest, it was kind of romantic, you know, with us both expressing each other's beauties.

"Why do you always sit on the floor?" He asked looking up from his sketch book. But I said nothing.

"Christina, don't do this to me."

"Is this anywhere near, to what you've done to me?" I tried to contain my tears, but my voice gave up.

"I can explain..." He said, looking away from me. I let out a sigh, and cleared my throat. After about a minute, he got up and came towards me. He grabbed my hands, but I shook his away.

"Just come with me, and I'll explain everything."

"Where are we going?"

"Don't worry, we're not going outside." With that he went, resulting in me following him. I discovered he had an attic, which wasn't there at our house. It was glowing under the silvery moonlight. He opened a window, went out and gave me a hand to do the same. He sat on one side of the slanting roof, and patted the place next to him, indicating for me to sit over. For a while, we both let the madness and drive of the world to sink in, by remaining quite. All that was heard, was the gentle rustling of leaves, sound of insects and our synchronized breathing. The constellations expressed their glory, overpowering the materialistic lights of the new and peculiar world. The soothing, cold breeze, lightly brushed my hair, and a smile spread, in the face of my mind. I finally looked towards Jason, who had been continuously staring at me, or so my senses believed. I looked over at him, and into his eyes. The light of his eyes, shone right at me. His hands gently made way to my face, putting a strand of hair behind my ears. He held my face, and whispered ;
"You're looking at my eyes, and I'm looking at yours. And what I see is, that they don't believe,  I did you. Do they Christina?"

"There's a difference in believe and wanting to believe something, Jason. And I think it's the latter."

"Why would I do something like this to you?"

"The question should be ; "Why wouldn't you?"

"Because I like you. I like you enough, to not hurt you."

My eyes stopped blinking, my heart stopped beating, and I lost the privilege of breathing.

"I...uhh...you...what?" I said, barely getting the words, out of my mouth.

"Yes...I know it's hard to believe, especially after all I've done to you, but it's true. Christina, I never meant to hurt you...I just wanted to keep you away from me, to protect you."

"What do you mean?" I said, removing his hands from my face, and tightly holding them with mine. "Protect me from whom?"

"From the bad guys...From my, who I used to refer to as 'friends' ?"

"You mean Chase?" The moment I said Chase, he removed his hands from my grip and looked down.

"Yeah..." He mumbled.

"What will Chase do, Jason? Why would he want to hurt me?"

"To take revenge."

"Revenge?"

"Christina, I can't tell you anymore. Please, don't make me do this."

"Jason, you said you'd explain!" I said, making him look at me.

"I know Christina...I thought I'd be able to. But the truth is too dangerous, to let out. I'm so sorry." He said, and I looked down, disappointed.

He lifted my chin up, like he did the first day, and wiped off a tear, that was oblivious to me. His other hand slowly made way, from my arms to my neck, while the other rested on my cheeks. He leaned in, and placed his forehead on mine and our breath, clashed with each other's.

"I never wanted to hurt you, and I never will. The moment I saw you, I knew this was it. I knew I wouldn't be able to control myself. I knew that I wouldn't be able to contain my heart, from shattering. When I said, that you were 'the one' at the party, I meant it. I really like you, Christina."

All I could do, was look into his eyes, which were now, a dark stretch of an endless sky. But on the contrary, his eyes radiated warmth, instead of lightning, which made me calm. Thoughts ran across my mind ; 'Should I do it?'. But looking at his innocent face, knowing that all I wanted right now, was, his lips on mine, a voice in the back of my mind said, 'yes'. Then breaking the silence, he said, "It's okay.", clearly noticing my nervousness. My heart started racing again, but a million times faster. And as he started moving his thumb, up and down my neck, I couldn't resist it anymore. We both slowly closed our eyes, and leaned in. His lips crashed on mine, and I lost myself. I forgot who I was, and forgot about the shitty world. I didn't care if people were watching. I thought that his eyes were the most irresistible, but his lips proved me wrong. They were warm as a glowing, sunny day of a winter morning, soft like it was made of butter, and sweet as if it contained honey. My hands then trailed to the back of his neck, and to his hair, gently brushing it. His hands went to my waist, rubbing my back. Our lips moved in perfect sync. And then, he cast the black magic. He let his tongue inside of my mouth, and as it clashed with mine, I realized it was the best feeling in the world. I had never tasted anything so pure and raw bfore. It was my first kiss after all. Being in his arms, I felt safer. It was just us both, and no one could take this moment away from us. I could feel his lips forming into a smile, and I pulled back. We both bore our eyes, into each other's , and leaned in again.
