Deceit

Chapter 5 - Flashback

I didn't see Jason for the rest of the day when Mr. A "borrowed" him but he was more than willing to go.

I mean he completely freaked when I told him my name and I had no idea why.

Is it possible that...... Could it be........... I mean sooner or later it would happen and if I am right, then this could be my one shot at the truth.

I have to see him again even if it meant going to the top floor of doom and facing the lone dragon...... Okay maybe I was overreacting but I have to speak to him.

_

I stood in front of his door debating whether or not I should knock.

Life is all about risks right.

"Come in" he said and i opened the door, he seemed busy at work and there was no sign of Jason "what do you want Ms. Winters......... I think I've seen your face enough times for the day"

See.......... Asshole 

"As flattering as that sounds........... I'm not here to see you........... Do you know where your brother may have gone ........."

"Do I look like my brothers keeper Scarlett" he said and for the first time he called my name, and i got to admit it sounded 10x better rolling off his tongue "And one more thing.......... Your not my brother's type".

He was starting to get on my last nerve........ Some things are better left unsaid, so I might as well leave before i say something I'll regret.

"Wait" he said just as I was about to open the door, turning around I faced him "He said that he was going to get a cup of coffee or something"

"Thanks" All he did was nod.

_

I entered the cafe and for the first since this morning I felt welcome as the aroma of newly baked cinnamon rolls, coffee among others pierced my nose.

Looking around, I spotted Jason by the booth at the back. What was it with him and his  douchebag of a brother.......... He was totally in another planet.

He didn't notice me approaching..........

"Is this seat taken" I asked and he stared at me as if I was speaking an unknown language.

Well this awkward.........

"You really don't remember me do you" he said sadly

"I know this is going to sound bad but no........ I don't remember anything here or anyone for that fact........." I said

"I-i uh well........... Umm......... We....... I........" He stuttered scratching his head, he seemed overly nervous and is me or is that a little bit weird.

"Well I have all day so talk away" And once again he went pale like before.

"Okay so uh............ One day I moved here and I heard this girl singing next door so I opened my window and saw the prettiest girl ever.......... Then my mom told me that your parents invited us over for dinner............You paid little attention to me and trust me that ticked me off................ Then your parents said that you should show me around the house............. I got to know you and vice versa............... Eventually we became best friends but I had a crush on you and boy was I afraid to tell you" he chuckled but it didn't meet his eyes

I didn't say anything.........just listened

"One day we were by the pool and my hand accidentally touched your ass.......... But all you said was its fine, lets just forget that it ever happened...... But it wasn't that easy on my half........ On your..........16th birthday" he stopped and looked away with a pained expression........... As if it pained him to continue

"Anyways on your 16th birthday I told you I liked you and I guess the gods were on my side because you liked me......... I mean i was more than happy......... That very night you had a party and I planned to ask you to be my girlfriend............but I-i uh well you. I mean i- well, the thing is you i- you" He stuttered once again.

"You what" I asked

"Well I was drunk and I asked you to be my girlfriend and you laughed and said that I was drunk and that I wasn't thinking clearly........... The next day I woke up............ My parents told me you were moving.............. It pained me and the worse part is you didn't say goodbye............ And  I haven't seen or heard from you in what....... 5 years" he said taking a sip of his hot chocolate

"Wow.......... I'm sorry..........  I wish I could tell you why I left but I really don't know and my parents dont want me knowing either" I said closing my eyes in hope of preventing the tears from falling.

"Hey look at me......." And I didn't realise I was crying until I felt his fingers on my cheek,I must look like fifty shades of red right now "I cant promise you that you'll remember what happened but all I can say is live in present, just go with the flow and don't push for answers, if you are meant to know what happened then you will because everything happens for a reason.........."

"Thank you........ That meant a lot to me............"

"Now how about we order something substantial and you fill me in on life in the city"

"I do feel hungry" I chuckled
