Perks of being a Criminal

Chapter 16

Jason's P.O.V.

Both of us went our separate ways to change into something comfortable. And as soon as I let go of her hand, all I could think about was her and that kiss. I'm hoping she felt the world stop around us just as I did. I'm hoping she felt as numb as I was. The only way I could tell her how I was feeling was to put every ounce of my emotion into that kiss. I hope I was doing this and she was feeling like I was. That was my biggest fear. Falling for a girl that doesn't feel what you feel. But she seems to feel the same way. But just because I have a fear of her not feeling the way I do, doesn't mean I shouldn't treat her the way she deserves to be treated. Like a princess.

I went with a regular v-neck white shirt and black basketball shorts. I walked down the long hallway to the living room. I turn into the tan walled room and there she was, sitting on the couch. She took my breath away and she isn't doing anything. Her hair was in a messy bun, she was wearing a light pink v-neck shirt and plaid pajama shorts. Her face was totally clear of makeup but it didn't matter. She shined with every ounce of beauty there ever was. She must have been cold because she was hugging her knees with one hand while the other was holding a game controller scrolling through the horror section on Netflix.

"Hey." I finally said giving her a smile. She turned her head and even in the slightly lit-up room, her beautiful blue eyes were showing brightly. I tucked my hands into my pockets and she shook her head "Hi Jason" she laughed, returning her attention to the screen. "What are you laughing at?" I turned my head to the side giving her a full-toothed smile. "You." She laughed and turned to face me, still holding her knees tightly to her chest. "Why me?" I walked towards the couch and sat down, almost pencil like next to her, making her laugh. "You are just cute that's all." She giggled. "Oh Jason McCann isn't supposed to be cute. He is supposed to be tough." I flexed my muscles and she gave me a weird look. "After this date, I don't think Jason McCann is all that tough" She got up and walked right past me swaying her hips. I tried so hard not to watch her but she made it almost impossible not to. I got up and took a deep breath, turning around to see her just turning on the light in the small kitchen. She was behind the counter top searching for a bowl. I walked around the counter and towards the pantry to see if I could find the popcorn. "Aaliyah? Where's the popcorn?" She turns around setting the second bowl on the counter. "Oh um let me help you." She walked into the small pantry and turned on the light. She was reaching for the top shelf but she couldn't quite get there.

She was being so adorable and she didn't even have to try. Just standing all the way on her tippy-toes and trying so hard to reach for the shelf that had the popcorn bags on it. I gently put my hands on her hips and lifted her off of her feet to reach the bag. When I set her down flat onto her feet, she turned around and looked at me in the eyes. "Thank you." She said quietly. I grabbed the sides of her face and rubbed her cheeks with my thumbs. Like before, she rested her head in the palm of my hand and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and I looked back into her beautiful blue eyes. The way she looked at me, she just looked so fragile and so innocent. It didn't bother me, it actually made me realise that she may be innocent and cute at home but even though I have seen her in gang mode once, it made me even more attracted to her. All I want at this moment was her body right next to mine so I can hold her. She was so beautiful and every time I said that to myself, my feelings just kept getting stronger. "Come on gorgeous make the popcorn so we can cuddle." I let go of her cheeks and walked back to the living room.

A few minutes later she came back with a bag of cookies and a bowl of popcorn. She set them on the coffee table and got a blanket, throwing it over both of our bodies. She had her butt between my legs, her legs were stretched out on the side of me, and her head was against my chest. We sit silently for a minute while I play with her hair. "I can hear your heartbeat." she says softly and puts her hand on my chest. I smiled because she was drawing little random shapes on my chest and that started to calm me down. "What do you want to watch?" I ask her and she looks up at me as I look down. "You are so comfy. Can we just lay here till I fall asleep?" She was just too cute. Every little thing about her makes me feel so lucky to even be with her right now. "Of course you can Aaliyah." I just continued to brush through her hair with out my fingers catching a single tangle.

Her breathing became slower and slower. Then I begin to rub small circles on her back until I heard her lightly snore. I turned off the television and picked her up bridal style, walking her through the living room, up the stairs, and into her room. I set her in her bed and she lightly stirred, turning onto her stomach hugging the pillow. I put the blanket over her, walked to the door, and she turned over. "Jason? Can you stay with me?" I turned around to look at her through the darkness. "Of course baby." I took off my shirt and lifted the covers to get under them with her. I felt the heat radiating off of her body. She put her face into my chest. As I wrapped my arms around her and held her close, I felt my eyes get heavier and heavier. Before I knew it, my eyes were shut and there was no place I'd rather be but here with the most beautiful girl in the world.
