Trust

Chapter 5: Do you trust me? ♡

Ariana's pov:

*next day**

I just got back from the store with groceries and my mom was at work (like always a workaholic) .

And guess what happened last night?

I went to sleep with thoughts of Jason.. Yes. Jason.

What'd he mean he was "trying to keep me safe." ?

It just didn't add up..

I'm safe. Right?

I feel safe.

Snapping me out of my thoughts was the sound of my phone,

"I wanna wrap you up,

Wanna kiss your lips I ..

Want to make you feel wanted.."

My ringtone to the song "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes played and an unknown number popes up on my screen.

I quickly swiped my finger across the screen indicated to answer the call.

"Hello?" I said, more concern in my voice.

"Aye, ari? " Jason said, more of a questioning tone then a greeting.

"How'd you get my number McCann?" I asked, a clear smirk on my face.

"I have my ways.." He replied. Even though I couldn't see him I could still picture a victorious smirk on those pink, luscious, kissab- what?.. lips .

"Ah I see you stalker." I said giggling.

"I'm your stalker"

He replied chuckling at the end.

My heart about burst when he said that. And his chuckle made my world spin 10 times faster.

I love him.

But you know what I wonder?

Does he feel the same?

Jason's pov:

"I'm your stalker" I replied letting out a held back chuckle I didn't even realize I was holding back.

I opened the fridge and noticed my mom bought grapes so I grabbed a handful and shoved it in my mouth.

I forgot I put the phone on speaker and left it on the counter when I heard ruffling from the other line and the squeaking of her bed . I'm guessing she just went it her room?

"Jason?" She said.

"Hmm?" I responded due to the fact I had like 15 grapes in my mouth at once.

"Umm.. Erm. Well yesterday. You know how you made me leave and when I asked why you said business and you didn't call me because you were trying to keep me safe?" She asked shyly.

Damn. I knew she'd bring up this topic sooner or later.

"Umm. Yes?" I said in a panic voice.

"If you don't mind me asking..

Who are you keeping me safe from and and what's "business" ?"

Shit! Think fast Jason.

"Oh well my business is, I had to wash my... Neighbors.. Dog.. Y-yeah.

And I'm keeping you safe from,"

I paused thinking..

Just tell her the truth Jason..

My inner thoughts told me.

I took a breath in before speaking once again "I'm just trying to protect you. You don't know what kind of people there are in this world." I said.
