WHAT COMES AFTER THE END OF THIS

Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Yrene's PoV

"Good night." He pecks my lips.
"Mhmmm."
"Good night." I turn him around and taking him by his shoulders try to push him out.
"Leave now you idiot."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Now go!"
"You know what? I'll stay."
"The hell?"
"Yeah I'm staying over." I groan, but only half heartedly, a part of me really wants him to stay and another part of me, the one that is still hopelessly in love with the man I cannot have wants to be far away from any form of company so that I can revel in his thoughts and cry myself to sleep. Soon though, my resolve dissolves as he makes puppy dog eyes at me, he knows I cannot resist that expression, I have never been able to, not even when I hated him for going out with Mandy and I would cover for him in front of his parents when he would lie about his whereabouts. Yep! Even when we were extremely distant, once or twice, he called me up, drunk and would tell me to tell his parents that he was with me and like an obedient fool I would do it. Because all along I knew that no matter how far apart we had been in that moment, he would do it for me too, without a moments hesitation. I lock away the part that is in love with Chase in the deepest corner of my heart and decide to accept him as a good friend, nothing more and nothing less. And that is where the love I feel for him will stay too from now on, in a corner of my heart, which I will not delve deep into for fear of losing myself and I would move on. Just like I had promised him, just like I would make him promise me if I thought someone was better for him than myself. I smile eagerly at the boy sanding in front of me before he lunges onto me and growls like a happy tiger as he tickles me. Slowly we make our way inside from the front door after seeing off his parents and all this time Jason's arm is wrapped around me, as if he fears that I'd slip away. Little does he know, that I would never, unless he forces me to. Suddenly he scoops me up, bridal style, as I quell and carries me into the house, thankfully my parents have retired to their chambers and the only person watching us is Ross, his mouth hanging open,
"Dude! What the fuck? That's my sister."
"Dude... She's my fiancé."
My brother huffs at him and under his breath he mutters something along the lines of
"Yeah, unwillingly."
"Well she doesn't seem unwilling me to me. Now does she?" The air has shifted and I feel the air shift as the two possessive dogs glare at each other.
"Guys chill. Rossy relax."
"Nene, how can I relax?"
"Okay come with me. Jay, give me five minutes."
"Babe take all the time in the world, just come back, alright?"
"For the love of God! Could you be more cheesy?"
"Anything for you." He blows a kiss over to me and strolls to the kitchen where undoubtedly he will proceed to annoy Michele by attempting to mix himself a drink.
Shaking my head at him I walk away with my brother who seems to be highly confused by the exchange between Ross and I.
"What was that?"
"Well he is my fiancé and I have accepted that as my fate."
"For fuck's sake it's not fate! It's a goddamn business deal our parents manipulated you into!"
"Ross look whatever it is I can't change it and it is better to accept as happily as possible. I'm doing just that. I'm giving him a chance, a chance he very much begged me for."
"I worry for you."
"I know you do papa bear."
"Yr, you know I love you right?"
"Duh."
"So I support whatever decision you have taken for yourself. I always have and always will. So I will accept it if you're happy but, tiny monster, be careful, okay? He's a player, a heartbreaker. And trust me if he breaks your heart I will break his face and bury him so,where not even the most skilled detectives would find him."
"Wow! Chill, man! It's okay. I'll be fine."
"You better be. Okay, now go, he's waiting for you."
I hug him and make my way to the lounge where I find Jason poking Michele's cheek to annoy her as she sits there, exhausted, with a glass of red wine. She offers me some and I shake my head, 'no' at her. Yes I know, amazing family I have, endorsing underage drinking. Impressive. I pull Jason up by the ear and drag him to my room where I make him sit on the bed as I take off his suit jacket and walk into my closet to change. His eyes darken and his mouth hangs open when I walk out in one of Raymond's t shirts and nothing else. Feeling self conscious all of a sudden I start to tug the shirt down when he walks over and gently pins my wrists to my sides.
"Don't. You have nothing to hide from me."
I gulp under his intense gaze as he slowly releases my wrists and in one quick motion turns me around so that now he stands behind me as I'm pinned against his chest. His lips attach themselves to my neck, right below my ear and I sigh involuntarily as my hands go around the back of his neck. He continues to peeper small kisses on my neck right down to my collar bone and his grip on my waist tightens in a manner that lets me know he's trying to restrain himself. I smile at the effect I have on him.
"You," he mumbles between the kisses, "are" kiss, "painstakingly" kiss, "beautiful."
I can only nod and sigh in pleasure as he continues down my shoulder which is now exposed due to the shirt being oversized in all manners possible. He turns me around gently again and this time kisses my lips and this time I don't have to think twice before returning the gesture. After what seems like an eternity, a rather blissful eternity, we decide to watch a movie. I snuggle into my covers and I decide to put on "The Notebook" my favourite movie, that never fails to make me cry.

Jason's PoV

She watched the movie and I watched her watch it. The way her face lit up when a scene amused her or how during the intimate scenes she would shy away and her hair would fall on her face to hide it. And the end. How she sniffled and cried at the end and the way my heart wrenched as the tears fell from her eyes forcing me to envelope her into my arms.
"Shh baby... Don't cry."
"But Noah an-and Alli... It's just so sad, Jason. It's so beautiful."
"I know baby. I know."
I kiss her temple and nose as she drifts off to sleep in my arms. I smile at her relaxed body and kiss her forehead once more before pulling the covers around her and taking one of the many pillows from her king sized bed, yes, this tiny imp sleeps on a king sized bed, as I  move away to one of her couches. Just as I'm about to completely get off the bed, something soft, as soft as velvet touches my elbow, just where my rolled up sleeve ends and I realise it's my darlings hand,
"Stay. Here." She mumbles incoherently and I smile at her drowsy, sleep laden voice.
"Babe. You might regret it in the morning. Good night." She pouts at me with her eyes still closed and I can imagine the animatedly sad look they'd hold had they been open.
"Pwease. I won't regret it. Pwomise." It's the 'pwease' and 'pwomise' part that gets me and I sigh in defeat as I get into bed with her. As soon as I get in she cuddles into me and contentedly sighs as she puts her head into the crook of my neck. Admittedly I'm taken aback by her actions, pleased nevertheless, but shocked. I was still having trouble accepting the fact that I was holding, in my arms, the girl I thought I could never had. My one and only true love. My queen. I kiss her forehead repeatedly and she doesn't even move a limb. Unable to contain myself, I whisper in her ear,
"I love you."

Yrene'S PoV

I was dazed by sleep. So much so that I couldn't even tell if what I had heard was true. But deep down, I wanted it to be. If only for the fact that no one has told me that before, Chase had admitted to the feelings he had for me but he still never told me he loved me. But it didn't matter now. Right now I was happy. Or happier than I had been in a long time. And I decided I didn't care now. I wanted to take my time with Jason, not fast and furious like what I had with Chase. And I was going to get just that. With these thoughts I drift off to sleep in Jason's arms.
