Darkness's Flower: Pulling It Together

Chapter 15: Sleeping With Jason

~Lilly~

"Just because I've seen Nico without a shirt on doesn't mean I need to see you without a shirt on, Jason Grace," I said.

He looked at me and smirked. "Well, I thought it wouldn't matter, considering your kinda my girlfriend now, Lillian West."

I rolled my eyes and went over to the bed. I got underneath the covers just as Jason did.

"I thought you said it was gonna be cold tonight," I said looking over at him.

"Yeah. I'm not wearing a shirt and you're wearing short shorts. It gives us an excuse to snuggled up together." He grinned and came closer to me.

"You are pathetic, Grace," I whispered.

"Yep. You're stubborn, West."

"Yep! But you're also very cute which makes up for it."

"And you're very, very beautiful and that makes up for it."

"Alright, alright. Night, Grace."

"Night, West."

I turned over and closed my eyes. I felt Jason's strong arms close around my waist. I turned to my other side to look at him. My nose touched his.

"You could've just asked me to get closer to you," I whispered.

"Lilly, will you get closer?" Jason asked.

I giggled. "Sure."

He turned on his back and I pressed my body against his side. He smiled as he put his arm around me. He tilted his head towards me and kissed me. I started kissing him back and the more we kissed, the more it turned into a make-out. I pulled away.

"Jason, we just had our first kiss yesterday. Don't you think this is a little but much?" I asked quietly.

He smiled, making his lips brush against mine. "To be fair, I've never made-out with Piper before. This is all new to me, but I like it."

"Well, I've, uh, made out with Nico, so this is normal. But it's different with you."

We both smiled as his lips touched mine again. This time, he kissed me hard. I gave the same back. I'll admit it. Jason and I started making out. He turned on his side and pressed his body against mine. I put my arm around his neck. My fingers touched his hair. His arm went around my waist tightly. We finally broke apart and I could feel my face go red.

"Goodnight, Lilly," Jason whispered. "Thank you for that. That was probably the best kiss I have ever had."

I smiled. "It's not my first time making out with someone, but you're welcome. Goodnight, Jason."

He kissed me softly this time and I kept my eyes closed after he pulled away. Jason stayed close, keeping me warm. I went to sleep and, surprisingly, didn't have any dreams. I woke up to see Jason still beside me, snoring softly. I leaned over him and kissed his lips lightly. I could feel his smile against my lips just as I pulled back. His eyes opened and he looked at me.

"Morning, beautiful," he whispered.

"Morning." I smiled and put my head on his shoulder. My body pressed up against his side and I put my hand on his warm, muscular chest. "How'd you sleep?"

"Really good. You kept me warm last night. How'd you sleep, Lilly?"

"Awesome. I didn't have any strange dreams like usual and just being up against you made me feel comfortable."

He smiled. "Good. What time is it?"

"Uh..." I looked over at the clock. "Eight-seventeen exactly."

"Really?"

"Does it look like I'm kidding?" I asked.

"Nope."

I propped myself up with my elbow, my head leaning in my hand. "When are we leaving?"

"Probably around ten or so. By the time we eat and get everything ready, that should be about right. Maybe closer to an hour or so. I guess we'll just kinda go with it."

"Alright." I smiled. "How about we get ready then eat breakfast?"

"Can't we just lay here together for another few minutes?" Jason asked.

I rolled my eyes. "I guess."

"Then come here by me, Lilly."

"I am by you, Jason."

"No, like right here."

I giggled and went back against him. I put my head and hand on his chest and closed my eyes for what seemed like seconds and when I opened them again, twenty minutes had went by. I sat up quickly.

"Jason, we need to-" Jason wasn't beside me. "Jason?"

I got up and looked around the room. He wasn't there. The bathroom door was open and he wasn't in there either. I took a quick shower and changed into jeans and a blue t-shirt. I put my hair up in a loose ponytail and walked out of the bathroom. I got my stuff together and the door opened.

"Where did you go?" I asked.

"I got breakfast for us," Jason replied, kissing me on the cheek.

"You didn't need to do that!"

He shrugged. "I wanted to. You went back to sleep, Lillian! As soon as your eyes closed, I left. I felt bad for leaving you, but you looked so peaceful sleeping. I couldn't wake you up."

"That was very sweet of you. Now what did you get?"

"Donuts. I got them from that gas station down the road. I hope you don't mind."

He handed the small bag of tiny donuts to me and we started eating. Once we finished, we gathered all of our stuff and got on our way.
