Way Back Into Love

Chapter 22

I didn't know how many weeks passed since that argument with Belle. I think a month has passed now. And still, all we do is ignore each other. Even if we're in the same room. We just pretend that each of us is invisible.

Chris called every week, checking if I'm fine (because I'm stuck with a beast). I tell him 'yes' but sometimes I don't answer him and hang up instead. I still feel guilty for lying to Jason. I love him, okay. But I love Chris too. Maybe? I don't know. It could be because Chris is always with me and Jason isn't.

I just want this to end. I could break up with Jason and end up with Chris. Or end up with Jason and break Chris's heart. Either way, one will be hurt.

Or I'll just wait until Chris will say "I love you."

Carmen's POV

"Babe, come back to bed." It's been a week since Jason got here after finishing his project. He's always busy. But luckily, he makes time for me.

"You're such a baby, Jason." I quickly put my clothes on before somebody walks right in and catch us. Especially, Jane.

"Why. I am your baby," he stands up and hugs me from behind. I can feel the length of his, you know. "You let me suck your-"

I kissed him before he can say a word.

"Come back to bed," he whispers in my ear. And I'm fighting hard not to.

"I have to go," I said, barely saying it because he's biting my earlobes.

"Lies."His hands run up and down my body.

"No."

His hands removed my pants and slid it down to the floor.

"Just one," he says, kissing my neck.

I can't help but let a little moan escape from my lips.

He's so good.

We always do this stuff in his apartment and not mine but today is a special day, as it is our
monthsary. So we decided to do it in mine for a change.

We were on the heat of the moment when someone rang the doorbell.

Oh great.

"I'll get that," I say to Jason and wrap the blanket around my body.

I opened the door.

And there is Louis standing with eyes wide open.

"Hey," I said.

"H-Hey, Carmen."

"..."

"..."

"So, uh, what do you need?"

"O-oh, uhm, I l-left my wallet in here. You know. The other day when we played scrabble? I thought I left it in my car. So.."

"Wallet? The brown leather wallet?"

"Yes! Yes! That!"

"Okay. Let me just--"

"Babe? What's taking you so long?" Jason wrapped his arms around my waist for a back hug.

Oh shit. It never crossed my mind.

"Jason?" Louis asks.

Louis doesn't know.

If he tells Jane about me and Jason..

"Oh hey. Louis, right?" Jason answers, his head on my shoulder.

"W-what..? Carmen? Why is he..?"

"No. Louis it's not what you think."

He shook his head in disbelief, "I can't believe you did this. All this time you were lying to us! To Jane!"

I explained it to him.

Knowing Louis, he understands everything as long as there is a reason. "I don't know, Carmen. Maybe you should tell Jane about this," he threw his hands in frustration.

"I know. And I will. I'm just looking for the perfect timing."

"You better tell her soon or I will." Louis left. I've never seen him angry before.

Maybe he cares about me and Jane that much.

I must tell her.
