Obsessed > Jason McCann

Chapter 20.

-Lexi-

We entered the rather large, oak, brown doors of the restaurant. My eyes gazed lovingly around the ginormous room. I took in every feature, big and small. That place was absolutely stunning. Definitely not fit for someone like me. But then again, I was dating Jason McCann.

Huge, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Illuminating the space with bright light and passion. Clear glass tables and complimenting chairs scattered across the room in a neat arrangement. They weren't too close together, yet not to far away from each other. This place was the perfect restaurant.

We all stood behind a small desk with a computer looking thingy on top of it. A waiter stood behind it. "Reservation for 6 under the name Hyden"

I had thought that all of 'the gang' was going to be eating out. However it turns out it was only me, Jason, Shawn, Emma, Tyler and Sophie. The three couples.

The waiter showed us to a table. He was quite tall and lanky. He didn't have any fat but at the same time no muscle. His dark hair complimented his blue eyes. He did have a great facial structure. I must admit, he was rather attractive.

After I realised I was staring I quickly pulled my eyes away before anyone noticed. I looked around me sheepishly just to make sure no one had.

Ten minutes after we had been seated, the same waiter can over to get our drinks. I cast my eyes across his name tag. 'Dylan' eh, cute name.

Slowly, I looked over at each member of us that were there right at that moment. I had experienced so many crazy things to get there. I had been through hell and back. Lastly, my eyes landed on Jason. His gorgeous brown eyes locked onto mine. Everything was worth it though. Because Jason McCann was the guy for me. Even if he was mental, I loved the man.

Eventually our dinner had been placed before us. Loudly, my stomach grumbled like a volcano about to erupt. Hungrily, I looked down at my food, licking my lips, like a Lion about to pounce on its prey.

No one else had started eating yet so I waited for everyone else. Inside my stomach was doing flips and turns, longing for the emptiness to be filled.

Thankfully, Sophie started eating, so I followed in after her. I was worried what everyone might think of me if I ate how I normally would when I was this hungry. So I was careful not to act like the little piggy I was. I made sure I had completely consumed one whole mouthful before cutting off a next. I also made sure to have small sips of my drinks at some points.

The steak was drowned in Stilton sauce, and cooked to perfection. This place was like heaven. Every mouthful to me was like chocolate to the fat kid off of Willy Wonka.

Unfortunately, every forkful of scrumptiousness had finally vanished off of my plate.  All that was left was crumbs of food and drops of sauce. The urge I had to pick up the plate and lick it all up was very strong, fortunately not too strong for me to resist, though. That I was glad about because otherwise I would have earned some funny looks.

"Who's for desert then?" Piped up Tyler with a huge grin on his face. As I turned my head to look up at him, I noticed he had barbecue sauce all over his chops. The whole group burst into laughter.

These were the moments I appreciated the most. Where we would all have a laugh together. It always just felt so normal. I completely forgot that I had been kidnapped. I forgot about everything else apart from the amazing group of friends I had. Even though I had been through hell and a half to get here. I'm glad that I did meet these wonderful people.

Of coarse I wish my family were part of my life, too. I miss them, more than anything. I miss them so much it hurts. However I've taught myself that crying wasn't going to bring them back into my life. Crying wasn't going to bring my mum back.

My mum. She was the most loving woman I had ever met. She didn't deserve what she got at all. She didn't deserve to lose my dad and then me. I wish I could have saved her. I'll always hate Jason for taking that from me, I won't ever forgive him for that. But I can't help the fact I've fallen for him.

I don't know what it is about Jason, but there's something. Something that just draws me to him. Maybe it's the kind, loving side I've managed to bring out. Maybe it's the fact I just want to be able to fix him. Maybe it's the cheeky, devil side he has to him. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. All I know is that I'm extremely attracted to him.

Yeah, he does scare me at times. He hurts people and I hate that. I wish he didn't have to do that. So much. But I can't change that. It's his life. It's all his known. It's what makes him, him. It's what makes him feel better. I can't be the one to take that from him. I know he wouldn't hurt me. That's all I need to know, really.

"Are you okay, babe?" I hear Jason's voice say, a little worried.

I smile a half-smile. "Yeah" I say.

"Okay, if you say so" He replies with a concerned look on his face. I know he doesn't want to make me talk in front of anyone. He will question me later.

But I don't mind that, it shows her cares about me. I know he has nothing to worry about, because I really am okay. But he doesn't know that because I was quiet and in deep thought for so long.
