Criminal Love

Chapter 26: Jo Elma's POV

I wake up and find out that I'm in Jason's bed. I look over to my right and see him sleeping peacefully. I smile and get up to use the restroom and take a shower. I feel so much relief since I told Jason my life story. I'm glad I did. He's so caring and loving toward me unlike my exes, Stephen Jones and Bradley Cox were. I am so much happier here. I can start a fresh new life here. I finish up in the bathroom and wrap a towel around my body and my hair. I go grab some clothes from the dresser. I got some yoga pants and a tank top and underwear. I dry off and put them on and go downstairs. I decide to cook breakfast for Jason. I get out the grits, the eggs, the bacon, the cheese, and the bread. I start making breakfast, which is cheese grits, scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese toast.

*About 20 minutes later*

I finish cooking and make plates. I go ahead and make Jason his coffee before he wakes up. God it smells so good. I then make me a cup of coffee for myself and set both cups on the table. Then I quickly clean up the dishes that I messed up to cook breakfast and put them on the dish drainer. I start to hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I knew it was Jason.

"Good morning babe. Breakfast is on the table along with your coffee. I made it how you showed me you liked it." I call out to him.

"Morning, lovely babygirl. Oh wow!! All this for me?" he says to me as he looks up at me.

"Yeppers. Sure is. I'm gonna eat too." I say to him.

We both sit down and start eating. As we are eating, Jason looks up at me and smiles a cheesy grin, which makes me chuckle. I smile back and continue eating my plate of breakfast. As soon as we finish our breakfast, I grab both plates and forks, wash them, and put them on the dish drainer with the other clean dishes. We both head into the living room and decide to watch TV. We both settled on watching "Forensic Files" reruns. Jason puts his arm around my shoulders and I scoot closer to him to lay my head on his shoulder. He looks over at me and smiles before he kisses my forehead. I start to feel myself drift to sleep. I yawn and look up at Jason.

"I'm getting sleepy haha." I tell him as another yawn creeps up on me.

"Well, let's go take a nap then, silly girl." he says to me as he stands up.

"Okay!!" I say to him as he picks me up and we go upstairs to our bedroom.

He puts me in the bed and covers me up. He crawls in bed next to me and he grabs a book to read. Before I go to sleep, I say a prayer. I get comfortable and the last thing I hear before drifting off to sleep is Jason saying goodnight.
