Black

Chapter 28

Part 3

When I noticed what the hell was happening I pushed Jason away from me. The adrenaline flowding through my veins. Every inch of my body errupted in goosebumps. I tried to steady myself with my hands against the door.

Jason just stood there staring at me. His face leaving no trace of what he was feeling at the moment. I became very uncomfortable under his dominant stare. I would ly if he didn't taste awesomely good, but this is wrong. I don't know what he was thinking by doing this. I swallow the lump away in my throat. Jason still stares at me with confusion and longing in his eyes. Nervously he runs a hand through his dark brown hair.

"Rose I ..." He tries to speak, but I cut him off afraid of what he would say to me. "You were upset that's why you kissed me and that's all that matters. You also hate me and love and hate or companions, that's the only explanation about your outburst right?" I scratch my neck shyly. Jason watches me getting more nervous with the second.

After what seems an hour he finally starts speaking. "Yeah, you're right. Forget about what happened it didn't mean anything." He tells me softly. I nod and pull myself from the door that kept me straight for the last minutes.

"So, I better get going now." I murmur softly. Jason nods and walks back to his desk. He seated himself and began to type on his phone. That stupid phone of his. "Goodnight Jason." I tell him before leaving his study with an unsure feeling in the pit of my stomach.

What was that all about? Did he really mean what he had told me? The kiss didn't mean anything for him just like I thought. Why am I feeling this way now? This is what I wanted and now I don't know what I really want anymore. There's a small part of me that wished he would pull me back into his arms ans showed me how wrong I was.

I collaps on my bed with a battle going on inside my head. Stop it Rose, you're going to make yourself crazy. Tommorow everything will be back to normal. I hope he will act like his normal grumpy self with me. I don't want things to become weird between us. Most of all I hope Janice won't notice the tension between us.

The next morning and afternoon went by so fast. Janice and I visited grandpa who was so happy to see Janice. They talked and talked until grandpa was so tired of all the fuss in his small room. Luckily grandpa forgot about the current conversations with Jason so everything went smoothly.

I hadn't seen Jason in the morning and afternoon so Janice and I ate alone. The only thing Janice thought was strange was the driver who brought us to grandpa. Actually he was a bodyguard who needs to protect us from Enrico. I had told her Jason wants us to enjoy our weekend so he arranged a taxi driver from his company.

I think she believed me and that's all that matters for now. I don't want her to worry about me for nothing. I really think it's for the best she doesn't know about everything. Maybe it's because I want to protect my family as well by keeping them in the dark about the things they don't know.

After Karl and I helped Janice carying her bags down the stairs Jason appeared through the front door. I swallow by the thought of his lips on mine. "I hope you had a great time Janice?" Jason spoke calmly with a small smile. "Yes, thank you for everything Jason. Take care of my sister, I know she can be a pain in the ass sometimes." She giggles and winks at me. I roll my eyes and take the bag from the ground. "Goodbye Jason and if you're in New York you're always welcome to stay at my place." Janice informs him with a bright smile.

"Thanks Janice, have a safe flight." Jason tells her with a small smile, but I could feel his cold demeanor. It's probably because I'm in his presence. Janice walks to the car, her behaviour also changed from cheerful to sadness. "What's wrong?" I ask her carefully. "I'm going to miss you and grandpa." She admits with a trembling voice. "Oh Janice, maybe I can visit you in a few months so I can see the kids again. It's not the same as seeing them through a small screen." I tell her, the sadness from my voice taking control over me.

"That would be great Rose. And if you want to bring him along that's also fine." She winks at me. "You're crazy, we're just friends that's all." I tell her a little too firm. Yeah, friends who kiss once in a while. It's just sexual tension between us that's all. "I'm going to miss you, take care of yourself and grandpa. If you'll need anything call me Okay? I'm here for you if you'll need me." She tells me softly. "I know, call me when you're home." I tell her while hugging her firmly.

"I will, goodbye my little sister." She almost crushed me into her embrace. This woman has the strength of a man. Karl placed her bags into the car and Janice takes place in the car with the bodyguard in suit. Jason had thought about everything. I'm really happy he thinks about her safety as well.

I waved her goodbye until she was out of sight. I sigh and make my way back to the entrance of the house were Jason's leaning against the doorframe. "Are you allright?" He asks me with concern visible on his face. "I'm fine." I answer him softly, walking past him inside the kitchen. I feel his gaze on my back while I open the fridge to look for something to eat. Something sinful where my mouth waters from. Maybe I want some ice cream. Yes, that will do for sure. I take the oreo ice cream and close the fridge. When I turn my gaze to were he was standing, he already left.

I sigh and take a spoon and make my way to the living room to turn on some chickflick. If I can't have a fairytale boyfriend, I can at least eat my sorrows away with a cheesy movie.
