I was in my bath robe when I walked out of the bathroom after finishing my makeup, after finally making my mind about this date.

I still can't believe I said yes. But I can at least give it a try and-

"Where are you going?"

I yelled and flipped around as my hand flew to my chest. "You scared me Jason."

He looked at my appearance before his eyes settled on my face. "Where are you going?"

"Weren't you supposed to be with your dad?" I asked looking at him.

"I told him to move it to tomorrow." He said. "Now answer me."

"I'm going out."

"Where?"

I gulped looking up at him. "I... I have a date."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "A date?"

"Yes."

"With who?" He asked walking further in the room.

"The guy I met at a cafe. I told you about him."

"And you didn't tell me about that date today? You didn't tell me you gave him your number either." He asked moving closer to me.

"I was going to but I didn't think it was urgent."

He looked at me seriously. "I told you that I didn't want anything distracting you from your work."

"You said that when I was still your student. Now I have a job, Jason. And I'm not going to stay alone forever."

"You are not going to be alone. You just don't need to go on this damn date." He hissed and I dropped my head shaking it lightly.

"Yes, I do. I need to finish getting ready. We'll talk about it later."

"Weren't we supposed to go out?" He asked and I laughed humourlesly.

"You canceled on me." I stated pointing at him.

He stared at me hardly before taking his jacket off followed by his tie.

"What are you doing?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows looking at him as he moved to my bed and dropping on it.

"Just resting. You finish getting ready."

I sighed and walked into my closet to put my dress on.

I seriously don't understand him.

Since it doesn't bother him that I'm going on a date, then maybe I really should go on this date and forget about him.

I placed my dress on the dresser and started looking for the shoes I could wear.

I furrowed my eyebrows when I heard the lock of my bedroom door turn.

"Jason, what are you doing?" I called and was even more confused when I didn't hear an answer.

I walked out of the closet and and saw him laying back on the bed.

"What are you doing?" I asked again as my eyes moved from the door to him.

"You're not going." He said.

"What is wrong with you?" I glared at him. "Open the door. Dean will be here soon."

"No." He said grabbing the remote and turning my TV on.

I huffed moving closer to the side of the bed.

"Jason stop playing." I sighed walking back to the closet to finish getting ready.

I looked at the time and quickly grabbed my dress when I saw that I had ten minutes left.

If Jason is here, does that mean that he will meet Dean.

I don't know why but that thought made me uneasy. I didn't want them to meet.

Or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Being paranoid or not, my heartbeat literally increased when I heard my door bell.

Already? He's early.

"Jason, can you answer the door, please?"

I walked back out to see him just laying there changing the channels like he just didn't hear the door bell ring.

"Jason, didn't you hear me?"

"If I open the door to him, you will wish I hadn't." He said not moving his eyes from the TV.

"But I'm not dressed yet." I said and he didn't move. "Okay Then. Give me the keys, I'll do it myself."

I walked closer to the bed pulling my hand out.

"I told you you're not going."

"Jason, stop it." I said and the door bell rang again. "Give me the keys."

"No."

I opened my mouth and my phone started ringing.

Dean.

Before I can grab, Jason did first before declining the call.

"Have you lost it?" I asked getting angry as he just turned my phone off.
"Who do you think you are? Give me my phone Jason. And my keys!"

"That's your fault for liking these types of locks. Fancy but old fashioned. You can't trust them." He smiled shoving my phone into his pocket.

"You must be joking right?"

"Since when do you know me as a joking person." He said and I looked at him confused when I saw that he was actually serious.

"Are you insane?"

He shrugged before moving his gaze back to the TV and grabbed the hand that had the keys in them.

"Jason, stop it." I said angrily forcefully trying to open his hand.

"You are not going anywhere, Victoria."

"And who are you to decide that? Stop this now and open the door." I said angrily glaring at him.

He moved his gaze to me. "You look beautiful." He said trying to stroke my cheek but I slapped his hand away.

I gasped when I heard the doorbell ringing again. My eyes widened at Jason who has his eyes on me.

"Jason. Give me the keys."

"No."

"You must joking. Jason, he will leave." I said tiredly. "Please stop this."

He shrugged again and moved his eyes back to the TV. I looked at him in disbelief when I realized that he was actually serious.

I let out a sigh and I felt like I was about to cry in frustration. I just groaned lowly and sat on the floor crossing my legs.

The door bell didn't ring since the last time, so I'm assuming Dean left.

"Why are you mad?" Jason asked and turned my head to glare at him.

He has the audacity to ask.

I stood up and pointed at the door still glaring at him.

"Because Dean left, you idiot. And I wanted to go on this date."

"I can take you on a date."

I stomped my foot angrily. "No. I want a date with someone I can be in a potential relationship with."

"That's my point. Go on a date with me."

"I wouldn't be the way I am with you if I didn't have feelings for you."

"What?"

Excuse me for being slow. But I'm gonna need him to repeat that.

"I don't really want to repeat myself about these kind of love stuff. So I will say it once and for all. I have feeling for you. More than a friend. So unless you just go away and change your identity. You are not going on any date." He said seriously.

I just stood there not knowing what to say.

Oh. My. God.

"Now do you want me to take you out or do you want to order something and watch a movie." He added looking into my eyes.

I looked at him completely shocked and out of words. My heart was beating way too fast.

He likes me?

If he wasn't in front of me, I would probably be jumping around. And my face would probably be red if it wasn't for my brown complexion.

"So?"

"Umh... Order is fine." I said slowly.

"Then go change. I'll make the call."

****

Not enough. But Jason is still making an effort. You guys are going to take it easy on him. He is stubborn. But Jason is Jason so don't get your hopes up. I'm just saying 😂
