"I didn't mean this when I asked you to join me for a morning run." Jason was standing by his son's side, who was lying on the sand looking at the sky that looked brighter than before.
"Shit, I must have.." Phoenix groaned.
"Passed out again." Jason shook his head and sat beside him.
Phoenix lazily sat up, relaxing his muscles.
"You are losing track of time, son. I am worried about your health. Don't let Ricky get to you. Only he can stay fit after eating all that junk food." Jason chuckled.
"Nahhh... I am good, just a little stressed. Aurora... she ... She is a health freak and makes Ricky eat something healthy. At least once a day."
Jason raised his brows when he saw his son smiling, looking into the distance.
"Dad...' Phoenix whispered.
hmmm...
"I beat a guy in college," Phoenix said even more quietly. A small wave touched their feet. Jason's eyes snapped at him in disbelief.
"Phoenix We.."
"I know. I am sorry. After that guy, I had a fight with another one." Phoenix turned his head in the opposite direction, not being able to face him.
Jason cupped the back of Phoenix's head and made him face him. "You did that for her?"
"She saw me, And."
"She came to a conclusion. I don't blame her." Jason sharply answered. Phoenix gasped in shock.
"Don't look so surprised, son. That girl has lost both her parents, has no close relatives in her life and her boyfriend... beats people like an animal. She has every right to be wary of you." Jason's harsh words cut him deeply, but he spoke the truth. Only Jason knows how difficult it was for him to say it.
"She does... but ... how did you know about her parents' death...??" Phoenix asked him, already knowing the answer. "You hired a fucking investigator." He shouted.
"Phoenix Jonathan Anderson. You will not use such language against me EVER. And you better keep your voice down when you are talking to me," Jason replied, loud and clear.
Phoenix looked away in irritation, "And you will look at me when I am talking to you...." Phoenix angrily snapped his gaze back to him.
".... I am not running this billion-dollar corporation on a hunch. Your mother is fighting that girl Reese's case. I had to know."
