Chapter 10: Chapter Ten

Olivia

I don't know if it's that today there's no work, or that I'm going to see my brother but I wake up energized and happy. Jason is not in bed when I wake up though, and that somehow dampens my mood for a bit. But as I step closer to the bathroom to take a shower, I hear the shower going and decide to go make breakfast while he is there. I pick up his shirt from the chair in the corner of the bedroom and move to go to the kitchen.

My steps falter as the smell of food hits my nose as I get closer to the kitchen. I debate on going forward and it feels weird to introduce myself to his house staff without him there, so I turn and head back to the bedroom. Jason is out of the shower and is getting dressed. He has sweat pants on and is donning on a white vest. My eyes move back to the sweat that show his bulge and I wonder if he is wearing underwear, it doesn't look like it though. I feel his eyes on me and I know even before I look at him that he is smirking at me.

"Like what you see?" He asks as he approaches me.

"Very much." I answer him as he puts his arms around my waist and kisses me.

"Good morning. How are you today?" He asks.

"I'm ok. Is there someone else in the house besides us?" I ask even though I know, and because I dont want to talk about my day yesterday.

"Aah yes, I called my house keeper this morning for breakfast, I figured since it's Saturday you'd relax a bit. Plus I know you're going out with your brother." He says and I'm touched he was doing all this for me.

We go to the kitchen after a heated kiss. I'm grateful he didn't call me out for the way I was acting yesterday. I don't know what I was going to say. I'm glad though that I found an apartment while I was browsing yesterday. It's a bachelor although it's a bit further from the office. I don't want to tell Jason yet because I don't know how he will react. I'm also scared because I have a feeling that our relationship will then be over. I don't know if I'm ready for this momentary Bliss to end.

When we get to the kitchen, Jason introduces me to the older woman in the kitchen. She serves us then leaves us to eat. Jason and I make small conversations, he asks me about my family which I tell him, and I also ask him about his. He doesn't share much about his family though, which makes me think that maybe he's not close to them. He does share that he has two younger twin sisters though, both his parents are alive although divorced.

After we finish our food, I go to take a shower in Jason's room, my things have been moved to his room apparently yesterday. My mind goes back to the apartment I found, and I wonder again how he will react to my finding apartment. I put on a yellow long flowy dress with flat sandals. I look good, as I step out of the bedroom to the kitchen, Jason is sitting next to my phone. His expression is hard and I wonder what has him so angry.

"You look beautiful." He says as he puts his hand around my waist and pulls me to sit on his lap.

"Thank you." I answer with a blush on my chicks.

"What time will you be back?" He asks and I pick up that whatever has him in knots, he is debating on telling me.

"Ok, what's going on?" I ask, scared that maybe he will expect me to move out when I return.

"Don't be angry, I answered your phone..." He doesn't finish his words as he assesses my reaction. I was busy, so I don't have a problem with him answering my phone. He finds whatever he was looking for and carries on his words. "...Mike said to call him back."

I sense there's more to what he is saying and wait to see if I should ask him about it. I think better of it since he didn't push me to talk yesterday. If he wants to tell me what Mike said, he will tell me. Although I have a feeling that he said things that would also make me angry. It's a good thing though that my phone records calls automatically, but Jason doesn't need to know that.

"I don't want to talk to Mike if that has you so twisted up. He made his choice with Scarlett and I don't much like cheaters. Now, I'm only going to be gone for not longer than two hours. My brother can be overbearing and I don't like him when he is like that. Are we good now?" I sensed his relaxing the more I talked solidifying my need to listen to that call.

I kiss him on the lips and move to stand up when I remember our conversation on his office.

"You owe me from last night. You promised me I'd come when we get here." I say pouting my lips, making him laugh.

"Oh yeah, I haven't forgotten about that." He stands up and takes me to the elevator. "I will see you when you return, make sure to eat enough, you're going to need your energy." He says and kisses me one last time and I get into the elevator.

I find Rudy downstairs and he tells me Jason called him to give me a lift. The ride is short because there's no traffic and the restaurant we're going to is near the office. The one that we both claimed as our meeting point. It's further than where Toby lives but he doesn't care.

My older brother is waiting for me inside the Italian Restaurant called The Moss. After a quick hug, we both sit and order. My favorite meal here is parmesan pasta. So I order that and we start talking.

"I never liked him anyway. I hope the next guy is better than that douche." He says taking a sip of his white wine. My brother has always been blunt, I'm surprised he has never voiced out his feelings regarding Mike though. "But I gotta meet him first so I can approve of him, you hear?"

"No thank you. That shit stopped in high school. You no longer have that right." I say laughing.

"I promise not to do that." He says with a laugh.

I never dated anyone in high school because my brothers acted like psychos protecting me from boys because no one was good enough for me. Even my little brothers followed in his steps.

We finish our lunch date with him saying he that lunch at mom's is on tomorrow. He offers to drive me back but I decline saying I want to walk around more. I saw Rudy pull in ten minutes ago. I am not ready for my brother to know that I have a driver yet.

I get in the car after I make sure that his car is out of view and we head back. The apartment is silent and I wonder if Jason is here. I walk to where his office is located and it's empty. When. I walk back the kitchen to pour some juice, he is standing by the doorway.

"How was lunch with your brother?" He asks me, he is still in sweatpants, but his shirt is gone and he is glistening, making me think he was in gym.
