Friends & Paradise

Chapter 29 - Why? (Natasha's POV)

"Amber, look, I can explain." I said quickly trying to calm her down before she basically exploded i of Jason. Now that would be embarrassing.

"Explain, then." Amber challenged.

"But not here, let's go inside." I said.

"Only you and me. You, leave." Amber said while looking at Jason.

"Will you be okay?" He asked me. I silently nodded.

Then, he nodded, and let go of my hand and walked away to the elevator to go up to his room. Then,  I opened the door, and then walked inside the suite, followed Amber. Danielle and Amelia were sitting in the couch eating something and talking. They looked up confused at me, and then looked at  a really mad Amber coming behind me. I rolled my eyes once their eyes landed back on me.

"Maybe we should leave you three alone." Amelia said, getting up. She grabbed Danielle's hand, and then they left to Amelia's room.

" Please sit down." Amber ordered.  I walked to the couch, and then took a seat, while Amber walked to the TV and stood in front of it. "Now, please, start explaining."

"I don't know where to begin." I said.

"Well I do. Begin with why you were kissing him and saying 'I love you' to him? You only went out with him tonight as your first date, am I right?" Amber said.

"Well, I could explain to you why I said that to him. But first of all, this was not our first date." I said.

Amber's face reddened to a crimson red. "What?"

"Well, Jason and I met the first night we spent here. There was this guy who was basically grinding on me and I didn't like it so I told him to back off, but he didn't listen and he kept doing it. Then, and out of nowhere, Jason came and defended me and made the guy stop. Then, we went to the pool and talked for two hours about everything. Then, we planned to go out the next night as our first date. We went to The Dig and we were just talking and then suddenly paparazzi came in and we had to run to get away from them. After that night, Jason and I have been seeing each other."

"Are you saying that you two have been dating under my nose this whole trip?"

I quietly nodded.

"How will you feel when your mom hears about this?"

"You can't be serious!"

"Oh yes I am serious!"

"Why are you even doing this?"

"Because, you're dating someone who I barely know and I am sure you don't know him enough to say that you love him!"

"Oh, and you do?"

"What are you talking about?"

"About you! What about Jeremy, huh? It's okay for you to go out with Jeremy, but it isn't okay for me to go out with Jason? Why not, Amber? Because he's a little older than me and not the same age like you and Jeremy?"

"Don't get Jeremy involved into this!"

"Well I guess I just did! If you tell me that I'm not supposed to say 'I love you' to Jason, is basically you telling yourself that you can't admit your love for Jeremy!"

"Jeremy and I are something completely different than you and him."

"Why's that?"

"Because we know what we're doing. You're a girl, you don't know what you're doing!"

"I'm sixteen years old! I'm not gonna let you tell me what to do!"

"Oh you will! Your mom put me in charge of you three, and whatever I say in this trip goes."
