"We should just stay. It's late and we're all tired." Jason said standing up and moved to my bed.

I turned to face him giving him a look. "Elena will murder us."

"At least, we would have had a good night of sleep when she does." He smiled patting the spot beside him on the bed.

I went without hesitation and went on top facing him.

"You know I would never hurt you." He suddenly said.

I chuckled moving closer to him. "I know."

"I just want to make sure th-"

"Jason you're doing everything to protect me and my mother. You take care of us, and you never asked anything in return. I know how to be patient."

He grabbed my arms and suddenly pulled me to him, and I let out a squeal. He grabbed my legs making straddle him.

"Don't do that."

"I just want to make sure you know what you mean to me." He insisted.

"I know. I'm the best thing that ever happened to you." I said mimicking his voice. "But right now, I'll be in my right to tell you that you're not allowed to touch me until y-"

"Now you're really looking for a fight." He groaned squeezing my sides.

"It was just a proposition."

"That was rejected."

My smile slowly faded when my phone started ringing. And it was obviously Elena.

Jason quickly grabbed my phone and threw it somewhere near the door. I gasped and looked at it to see it still ringing on the carpet.

"Why would you throw my phone like that, you crazy man?"

"Why would it ring at this time?"

"It's your sister." I gasped as Jason shrugged burying his face into my neck.

"Leave it. You're sleeping." He mumbled against my neck and I snorted.

"Wh-" I gasped when he bit my neck.

"Jason."

He shushed me before crashing his lips on mine. And then I was gone.
His lips were soft against mine, but then he moved his hand to the neck of my head before gripping my hair. He then tilted my head before moving me closer to him.

He then pulled away after some time, pressing his forehead against mine.

"I'm going to loose it. We can get married here right. My parents could come with your mom, and we can do it before the end of the week." He said and I just stared at him.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked touching his forehead.

"I'm fine. So what do you think?" He asked as his hands moved from my legs and went up to settle on my butt.

"Can I help you?"

"No I'm good." He gave me a goofy smile. "So do you agree?"

"Let go off me Jason." I laughed trying to pull away from him and failing.

"You didn't say no." He said as his smile widened.

"Do you want me to say 'no'?" I stopped and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Do you want me to want you to say 'no'?" He asked back and I furrowed my eyebrows.

And while I was trying to figure out what was happening, I felt him squeeze my butt cheeks making me gasp and jump away from him.

I grabbed a pillow and held it against me before sitting on the bed facing him.

"See? Now you let me do that once. It's not going away." He smirked as I sat there with what I'm sure was a red face.

"I'll cut your hands off, Jason. I wasn't kidding." I threatened but with my red face, I'm not sure he's taking me seriously.

"Of course you will." He continued reaching for my hand, but I kicked him with my foot.

I looked at him warningly. "Jason."

"Victoria." He mimicked my tone. "You still didn't say 'no' about marrying me."

I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

Okay. He wants to play. I can play too.

"And why would I say 'no'? It's like a dream coming true."

"Okay."

My phone started buzzing on the carpet. Elena is calling again for sure.
I threw the pillow at him and started to run for the phone on the floor but Jason grabbed my shoulders pulling me back to him.

I giggled when my back slammed against his chest before he wrapped his arms back tightly around me.

"At least let me tell her that we would go tomorrow." I continued trying to get out of his grip.

"No. I adore her but she's crazy. She can order some food. Even Seb locked himself in his room and turned his phone off. Everyone is tired."

"But I feel so bad." I pouted. "Please. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I don't answer." I pleaded and he didn't answer, which was the sign that he was maybe giving in.

I turned my head and kissed his jaw lightly.

"Please."

"You're so annoying. Go." He sighed before releasing me.

I got off the bed and grabbed the phone before sitting down. I just went to the missed calls and called her back.

"What are you doing sitting down there? Get over here."

I just waved him off and waited as the phone started ringing.

"Victoria, come here before I come get you myself."

I stood up and went back on the bed.

"I'm going to kill you, Victoria Mendes." Elena snapped the second she picked up.

"I'm sorry. We're just really tired Elena." I sighed sitting back against Jason.

"I know. I am too. I'm already in bed, actually. We can go out tomorrow after your meeting." She said.

"Okay. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. And tell my brother to go to his room." She said and I laughed lightly.

"I will." We hung up and I turned to Jason.

"At what time do we have to wake up tomorrow?" I asked hoping he would tell me that the time changed.

"6 a.m."

I groaned closing my eyes tightly.

"You'll live. Now you should go to sleep."

"I need to change." I placed my phone on the nightstand.

"Why? You can just take your clothes off." He said undoing the first button of my blouse before I pushed his hands away.

"No." I got off the bed and started walking to my closed suitcase.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." I heard him say.

I turned to see him getting off the bed and grabbing his jacket.

"You're not staying?"

"Victoria, you've been putting limits and that's good. Because every time you give me access to somethings, I take it whenever I want. And you don't want that yet, do you?"

I furrowed my eyebrows sitting back on the bed facing him.

"God, you're amazing." He chuckled before walking closer to me and kneeling in front of me. "You don't know how wonderful you are. But you really are." He let out a breath. "You keep me sane. You think I'm the one helping you, but I would be lost without you."

I smiled softly placing my hands on his shoulders. "You're going to make me cocky."

"And you have the right to be, because you should know that I wouldn't be who I am without you. You are way too perfect, and you bring me closer to perfection that I could ever be. So when I tell you that you are stuck with me, your better believe it." He said the last sentence so seriously that I almost burst out laughing.

I couldn't help but pull him to me hugging him tightly.

I don't care about him saying he loves me back. He is showing me how much he cares enough everyday. He has been taking care of my mother and I for years, and he never asked for anything in return.

He may not be sure about anything yet but I am. Actions speak louder than words.
