Hateful Love

Chap 7: Reality

I wake up with my face buried in his chest. I just lay there and listen to the rhythm of his heart beat. I smile to myself thinking about last night.

“What’s the smile for?” Says a sleepy looking Jason.

My cheeks instantly heat up and I look down at my hands. “Ummm…..no reason.”

He just laughs as he starts to get up. He grabs my hands and pulls me to my feet. Once he gets me up he pulls me into a hug.  I hug him back before he lets go, and heading to his dresser he pulls out a pair of black boy shorts and a red shirt with some kind of band on it. He throws them at me saying I could go take a shower if I wanted. He grabs some clothes for himself before following me out the door. I turn right to go to the bathroom and he turns left heading for who knows where. I watch him as he walks down the stairs before turning around and shutting the door behind me.

I take off his clothes, and take my hair down, I comb through it with my fingers before climbing into the shower. I turn it on to hot and let the scalding water soothe my back. I grab a bottle labeled shampoo and slather some on my hair. My hair is ridiculously long and it takes about ten minutes to get all the shampoo out. I rinse off and grab a towel as I get out. I dry off before putting on the clothes he handed me. Once my shirt is on I take a comb from the counter top and comb through my hair. Surprisingly it’s not that tangled from last night. I finish getting ready and quickly brush my teeth again before leaving the bathroom.

I head into his room and put his clothes into the hamper with my other clothes. I then head down stairs to look for Jason. I smell something coming from the kitchen, and I walk that way. Once in the kitchen I see Jason at the stove frying some bacon. My mouth starts to water at the delicious smell. I sit at the table as he finishes the bacon and eggs. He puts my plate in front of me, and I dig in hungrily. Jason laughs at me as he sits down. We eat so fast that we don’t even have time to talk about anything. When I’m done eating I get up and start to wash dishes.

“Kathleen you don’t have to……..” I spin around and I slap him with the dish towel. “oww” He says rather sarcastically.

"Don’t tell me what to do” I barely make it through the sentence before I start laughing. He joins in as he picks me up and spins me around. He puts me down and grabs my face pulling me closer. My breath catches in my throat as I realize he’s about to kiss me. He closes his eyes and inches forward. I stare at him and his perfect features the ways his lips are so full, and how he’s concentrating so hard on what he’s about to do. Failing to stop myself I start to giggle. He jerks back and looks at me all confused. I laugh even harder as I take off up the stairs. It takes him awhile but when he comes back to his senses he runs after me. I run into his room locking the door. A few minutes later he starts pounding on the door which just makes me laugh harder.

“KATHLEEN DAVIS OPEN MY DOOR!!” between gasps I’m eventually able to talk.

“Make me cutie.” I start laughing again but stop when I don’t hear anything on the other side of the door.

“You think I’m cute?” He whispers through the door.

I freeze suddenly aware of what I said. I blush creeps into my cheeks and I’m so flustered I can’t talk.

“Well……um I you I ……. “I stop knowing I must sound completely ridiculous right now.

We stand there each of us on our own side of the door. Just thinking and not knowing what to do let alone what to say. What felt like ten minutes I hear him shift outside the door, and I stiffen.

“Open the door Kathleen.” He whispers. Not knowing what else to do I walk over and open it. I’m staring into those mesmerizing brown eyes again and I’m glued to the spot.

“Do you think I’m cute?” He asks again his voice so low I can barely hear it. I nod my head not trusting myself to speak.

He smiles that brilliant smile that gets me every time. He walks forward taking my face in his hands again but instead of waiting this time he smashes his lips against mine making me step back. He walks us back until I feel his bed against my legs. He gently pushes me and I fall on my back knocking all the air out of my lungs. Before I can even get my breath back his lips are trapping mine again as he climbs on top of me. He breaks the kiss long enough to look at my face. I know he’s about to say something but I pull him back down as my lips attack his neck. He moans quietly and I smile.

"You’re beautiful.” He whispers into my ear as his lips travel my neck looking for the tender spot. All to soon he finds it and I moan arching my back. But I wasn’t going to let him have all the fun. I take his earlobe in my teeth and bite down playfully. He breaks the kiss and falls down beside me. We lay like that for awhile catching our breaths. His hand snakes into mine, as he pulls me up, but he keeps our hands intertwined as he pulls me closer to him. I breath in letting the smell of his cologne invade me nose.

“We should probably get you home.” He says pulling away. I nod reluctantly as he leads me down the hall to laundry room. He reaches in the dryer and pulls out my clothes from yesterday.

“You already did laundry?” I ask.

Instead of answering he takes my hand and starts to lead me to the stairs.

“Don’t you want me to change out of your clothes?”

“naw you can bring them back to school if you want”

“Alright”

He grabbed my hand again as we headed down stairs. I freaked out a little when I remembered my shoes were in his room, so I ran back to his room and grabbed them. When I got back down stairs he already had his shoes on and was standing by the door. He held the door for me as I go out.

“Well thank you sir” I joke

“You’re ever so welcome my lady.” He said bowing. We both laughed as we headed to his car. We got in and he pulled out of his driveway and through the gate. We laugh and joke all the way to my house. When we get there he stops the car and he turns to look at me. We just sit there staring at each other for awhile.

“Thank you. For everything.” I whisper.

“You know it’s not a big deal. I’ll be here whenever you need me.” He says taking my hand. I smile shyly about to get out when I quickly turn around and kiss him on the cheek. Before he can say anything I jump out and shut the door. I get to the front porch and I turn around and wave. He waves back with a smile on his face. I smile thinking about how great my life is right now. I’m still smiling when I walk in the house up until the point I see Mick passed out on the couch. I grimace at the smell in the living room he has obviously been drinking most of the night. I go up to my room and lock the door. Hopefully he'll sleep all day, and I won't have to deal with his hangover.

I shudder remembering his last hangover I still have the bruise on my back. I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling.  I fall asleep like that, I didn't know I was that tired. I savor every wonderful dream of Jason. That is until I wake up tomorrow. Wake up to reality.
