Friends & Paradise

Chapter 30 - Love Just Is (Natasha's POV)

The next morning, I opened my eyes and didn't recognize the room I was in. This was not my hotel's bedroom. I turned around, and saw Jason's sleepy face infront of me. I think I came here last night. I snugged closer to him, and a few seconds later I felt him move. I raised my head, and saw that he was looking down at me.

"Good morning." I said.

"Good morning." He said. "How'd you sleep?"

"Good. But, I can't remember why I ended up here."

"I don't know either. It was like really late when I felt you climb into bed with me. I was half-asleep when you did."

"Who let me in your house?"

"No idea."

"Oh shoot! What if it was your parents?"

"No, my parents don't stay up too late."

"What about a maid?"

"Must've been."

"Do they tell your parents who come into their house at that hour?"

"I don't think they did."

"But do they do that regularly?"

"Yeah, why?"

"What if, they did this time?"

"Nash, calm down.  My mom likes you, and my dad just accepted you into our family. You have nothing to worry about."

"They just met me and accepted me last night. What if they saw me come in and got the wrong impression of me?"

"Don't worry, my parents know I wouldn't date any girl. Obviously since I'm dating you, they know there must be something special about you." He said, and then kissed my forehead. "And there is."

We were just about to kiss, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Westin? Are you awake? Your parents would like you to have breakfast with them."

"Okay, I'm coming." Jason said.

"You need to go eat breakfast, and I will go home." I said.

"Wait. You have to go in front of the dinning table to go to the front door. If you do that, they'll see you and know you slept here. How about, is you wait until breakfast is done, and then you can go to your suite. I'm sorry to make this a little too complicated for you."

"No, it's okay. Really. I'll wait." I said.

Jason got out of bed, and then held his hand out for me to take and leave the bed with him. Then, he opened a door on the left wall of his room, and walked me inside of it.

"I am really sorry that you need to hide like this." He said while looking into my eyes. I knew he didn't want to do this.

"I know." I nodded.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

He walked insdie and brushed his teeth, and then kissed me on my cheek once before going to eat breakfast with his parents.

A little while later, I heard the door of his bathroom slowly open. I quickly ran inside the tub, to hide behind the curtain from view of the person who just came inside. I was super quiet. Then, the shower curtain opened, and I was exposed laying in my pajamas in a tub to an old lady who was dressed in a maid uniform.

The old lady looked to be around the same age as my grandmother, which was no less than seventy-six. She had white hair, and wrinkles in her fragile-looking skin. Her eyes were light blue, and she had on a kind smile.
