HIM ♕ Jason McCann

Chapter Eleven

It had been a few days since Felicia had seen Jason. Days were going by as per her routine. They felt long and boring. She felt empty as if a piece of the puzzle was missing in her life. She was slightly frightened of Jason since that nightmare although, she wasn't even sure whether it was supposed to come true.

What if it was?

It was a Thursday and her play was still a few days away. Felicia knew that all the play participants must goes for their last audition, according to the newly applied rule. She sighed as she remembered Ms.Spark saying there shall be no more auditions. Why does this school always change it's ways? Felicia asked herself, slightly frustrated. She reached the bus stop and waited for her bus to arrive.  The bus however had arrived a bit late that day, which left Felicia to fall asleep. A little nap later, she squinted her eyes open as she woke up from her slumber. She furrowed her eyebrows and wondered why her bus had not arrived yet. Her eyes roamed around to find someone who can help her out. Just as she was walking, a car she was familiar of, pulled into the bus stop. She glanced in it's direction and found the person lowering their windows.

It was Jason.

"What are you doing out here at eight in the night, Felicia?" Jason questioned her, as he motioned her to come inside his car. Felicia got in slightly feeling comfortable in his presence and replied, "I-Uhm, I was waiting for my bus to the auditorium, but I fell asleep and I think, I missed it." By now, Jason's eyes were locked with hers as he looked down to her, as if he was feeling protective over her. Jason just shrugged and nodded a little, "I'll take you there." And started the car. Felicia glanced at Jason while his eyes were on the road. Unsure of what to do, she decided to turn on the radio. Just as she was about to turn it on, Jason cleared his throat.

"Who gave you the permission to turn on the radio?" Jason raised a brow. He looked really serious, which again made Felicia turn into her uncomfortable self. "Eh." Felicia was in a loss of words. After all, she thought they were both close enough for her to turn on his car's radio. She  was confused when Jason suddenly started laughing. A bit too loud. "Calm down, babygirl, I was just messing around with ya." Jason said, in the middle of his laughter.

Felicia shook her head and playfully hit his arm. Just as her hand touched his arm, she felt the rather strong muscles present. He really was strong, she thought to herself. Felicia was completely lost into putting her focus on Jason's arm that she slowly found herself squeezing it, just to see how strong it was. While she was still doing that, she quickly came back into reality when she realized what she was actually doing. She quickly pulled back and apologized continuously as if she had just committed a big crime. If only, her crime could've been compared with those done by Jason. She felt her cheeks getting hot and the blush creeping up on her body, once again. Jason chuckled, this time with a genuine glint of purity in his eyes. She stared at his eyes while they were still on the road. She couldn't help, but admire the beauty. She wondered what the eyes were actually like, deep inside. She felt as if they were a mystery, a puzzle. A puzzle which can probably never be solved.

This way, Felicia's thoughts shifted back to her nightmare a few days back. What if it was all true? What if he really was a killer? What if the whole mystery related deja vu she was feeling for him, was just a clue that he was all wrong? Somehow her mind kept telling her it was wrong, but her heart knew it was right. It was as if her mind and her heart were foils to each other in a story. Felicia shook her thoughts, not wanting the darker side of them to take over at that moment. She was interrupted when Jason had been calling her, "Babygirl, I have been asking you for the fourth time, what got you so lost in your thoughts?" The car stopped as the signal flashed a red light. He looked towards her as he read her face, really confused of what she was actually thinking.

If only, he knew.

"N-Nothing, I was just wondering whether I can sleep on your arm." Felicia lied, but she felt bad. Obviously, she couldn't tell him what she was actually thinking of. After all, she didn't want to ruin their relationship. She observed Jason as he raised his brow once again, probably trying to comprehend what she was really thinking of. It took a few seconds before Jason went along with her answer and whispered in her ear, "Sure." There were the shivers again. Damn, why does he always make me feel this way? Felicia thought to herself. It's a wonder how his mood changes that quick. She gently laid her head on Jason's arm and gradually getting comfortable there. His arm, so strong, yet so comfortable, helped her drift off into a peaceful sound sleep so quickly.

Meanwhile, Jason wondered what Felicia was really thinking of. He knew he couldn't tell her the truth. He kissed her head through her hair and inhaled her scent, making him relax as well, while he drove away.
