My Love, My mistake (Knight family book#2)

Chapter 15

"What's wrong with you?" I asked looking at Jason's annoyed face.

"These paintings get uglier every year." He said. "How can you like these things?"

"It's always about the message the artist is trying to send." I explained. "Some are just more expressive." I said pointing at a very colorful one. "And some have a darker style."

"They are still ugly." He stated.

"Your mother told me that's the first thing you told the twins. You don't appreciate anything." I smiled as my eyes landed on a painting on the left.

"I appreciate things. Just not ugly things."

"Whatever." I muttered. "Look at this one." I said pointing at the one I was still looking at.

"Still ugly." He said lowly and I huffed before turning to look at him with an annoyed look.

"Learn how to appreciate beautiful things." I said grabbing his arm as we started walking again.

He looked down at me with a smirk. "Like You in this dress. Now that's something I would like to see on a canvas."

"Jason." I muttered feeling shy when I shouldn't.

"You're so lucky I respect your dignity. If you know what has been going on in my head, you'd be running away." He said and I almost choked.

Oh God!

I probably would.

"Quiet." I muttered feeling really hot.

I looked away as a small smile appeared on my face.

Keep it together.

I've been thinking about what happened yesterday. He told me he had feelings for me, but he didn't ask me if I felt the same way.

Doesn't he want to know? Or does he want to give me time to register?

Of it is the second possibility, it's a good thing because I still have not registered it yet. I keep reminding myself that he actually said it and he actually liked me as more than a friend.

So maybe I didn't waste my feelings on him after all.

"You're so shy. It's cute." Jason laughed lightly. "We should go to our table. The auction will start soon."

I nodded letting out a breath.

"Victoria?"

I literally froze at the voice.

Why? Just why??

I turned around plastering a smile on my face.

"Dean." I exclaimed as he stood in front of us. "What a surprise."

He smiled lightly. "It's surprise for me too. I didn't think I would see you again so soon. Especially after you stood me up."

Now I'm starting to feel bad again. I really stood him up yesterday. And he was supposed to be my first date.

I don't want to be in an uncomfortable situation, especially when it was really Jason's fault.
