The plan

Chapter 33- Are You Smelling My Shirt?

"Why, what happened?" Chase asks.
"I don't know, he just told me to go to his house and get money to bail him out." I say.
"We'll come with you." Anna says.

***
We drive to Jace's house, and he left his door unlocked.
He told me that there is money in his desk, so I go and get it.
I'm on my way out, but something catches my eye.

Jace framed a picture the paparazzi took of us together.

I smile to myself, and walk out to the car.
"Next stop, the police station." Anna says as she drives.
****

"We're here to bail out Jace Johnson." Chase says to the man at the front desk.
Chase gives the man the money, and he walks away.

The man walks out, and he has Jace in handcuffs.
"What happened?" Ryan asks.
"He was beating up some man, and someone called the police." The man says.

All of my friends turn around and look at me, but I'm focusing on Jace.
He gets out of his handcuffs, and walks over next to me.

"Your car is outside." The man says.
Jace nods, and we all walk out.
I walk towards Jace's car with him, and glance back at Anna.
"I'll see you later?" She asks.
I nod, and get in Jace's car.
I watch as they all get in Anna's car, and drive away.

"I'm sorry." Jace says after a while.
I look at him, and he continues,
"I just had to beat up Ryder. Especially because of how he treated you.." He says.
I nod, "It's okay, I'm not mad."
He looks at me, "You're not?"
I shake my head, and hold his hand.

He nods, "What do you wanna do now?" He asks.
I look at him, "Food?"
"Food." He replies.
He kisses me, then starts the car.

"Seat belts everyone!" I say mimicking Ms. Frizzle from 'The Magic School Bus.'
"Oh my god." Jace says while leaning his head back.
"What?" I ask while laughing.
"I can't believe I'm in love with a girl who quotes a line from 'The Magic School Bus'."

******
"Are you nervous?" I ask Jace.
"About what?"
"Your race against Mike Carter tomorrow night."
He shrugs, "Not really. I'm pretty sure I'll win."
I look at him, "Cocky much?"
He smirks at me, and I shove his arm.

"Any plans for after the race?" He asks me.
I shake my head, "I have to finish an assignment. It's due in a couple of days, and I haven't even started."
"What's the assignment?"
"I have to paint something that means a lot to me."

He nods, "What are you gonna paint?"
I shrug, "I don't know yet."
I yawn, and lean back on his couch.
"You wanna stay the night?" He asks.
"Yeah, what time is it?" I ask.
He grabs his phone, "11:50pm."

I yawn again, "I'm already tired."
Jace grabs my hands, and pulls me up.
"Let's go to sleep then."
He guides me to his room, and walks towards the bed.
"Do you need a t-shirt?" He asks.
"Yeah."
He goes through his dresser, and hands me one of his shirts.
"Thanks." I say.

I walk into the bathroom, and change into the shirt.
The shirt is oversized, and smells like cologne.
A guys cologne could last ages on a simple t-shirt, but a girls perfume? A girls perfume only lasts like an hour.

"Are you smelling my shirt?"
I jump back, and face Jace.
"Uh-u- no." I stutter.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"Yes?"
"You didn't sound too confident in your answer." He says while laughing.
"Good night." I say as I walk past him.

He grabs my waist, and hugs me from behind.
"I'm just teasing you." He says.
I turn around, and he's smirking at me.

I bring my lips to his neck, and then to his lips.
I pull away from him before we kiss, and lay down on the bed.

"And I was just teasing you." I say while smiling.
"Not cool." He says while he sits next to me.

The shirt he gave me only comes down to my lower thigh, and I see him looking at my legs.

"My face is up here." I say.

He looks up at me, "How'd you get that scar?"
I look at my inner thigh, and see the scar that he's talking about.
It's quiet for awhile, until I answer.
"Ryder gave it to me."

He looks up at me, and his eyes are full of concern.
"How?" He asks.
"A knife." I say.
He keeps looking at me, so I continue.
"He was drunk, and we got into an argument.
Out of nowhere, he just pulled out a knife and stabbed my leg." I say.
He looks at my scar, "How come you didn't leave him?" He asks.

"I was stupid back then. He always blackmailed me. I was a stupid girl, who fell in love with a terrible guy." I say.
Jace lays next to me, and hugs me.

"I'm so glad that you hired me to be your assistant." I say as I lay my head on his shoulder.
He smiles, "I am too."
