Chapter 13: Chapter Thirteen

Olivia

"Jason?!" I say startled.

"If it's what it takes for you to stay Olivia, I'm willing to do it."

"You're moving too fast." I say lowly.

"Moving fast would be kneeling on one knee and confessing my love and asking you to marry me. This is not fast, babe." As soon as he says that I jump to my feet forcing out of his arms.

Yes that would be too fast but so is this. I can't deny that I'm falling for him, I just didn't think he was the same. I start pacing infront of the television away from him. My mind going a mile a minute.

"Jason please slow down, you're scaring me right now." I say and suddenly he is infront of me.

"I didn't say I was going to propose, but I am saying I'm falling for you. I'm not saying that to scare you, but to show you I'm serious about you. I am going to meet your family eventually even if it's not tomorrow, you're going to wear a white dress and have my ring on your finger eventually. This is me saying prepare yourself. And yes I know I'm moving fast, but I don't know how to move slow when it comes to you." He says then kisses me. I'm too frozen to kiss him back.

I know tears are rolling down my face because he wipes them when he stops kissing me. I don't know what to say, I can't look down because he's holding my face. So I decide to close my eyes.

"Ok, I think that's enough somber mood for one day. Let's go take a bath then maybe go for a walk or a drive." He says as he starts pulling at my arm.

My problem is, I'm going to obsess, I'm going to stress about it and it's going to be the only thing that will be fulfilling my mind. It's already in my mind. I don't know how to not think about it. And my being silent is not going to help me. Maybe the bath he suggested he's a good idea and I will be able to get out of my mind for a while.

We soak in the bath for about thirty minutes as he washes me and then washes himself and then we get out of the bath and dress to go out. I decide right then that it would be a good idea for me to show him my apartment. It would also be the first time for me too. So I check out the house keys from my bag, a career had come yesterday too drop them off while I was at the office. When we head out of the building I told Jason that I want to show him my apartment and give him the address.

Surprisingly he is the one that will be driving today. The driver's about thirty minutes and as he drives he tells me that it's too far from the office. "I will have Rudy pick you up before he comes to pick me up." And that breaks my silent mind.

"Jason!" I whine. "Rudy already has enough driving to do with you. I will take a taxi or a train. Like a normal person."

"Right, like a normal person. I am pretty sure that a normal person would jump for joy when offered to be driven, don't you think?" He says and I know he has a point. "Look , fine I will have another driver for you picked out then. I just want you safe is all." He says the last part pleadingly and takes my hand in his lap.

I accept for Rudy to pick me up in the end and soon our drive ends as we arrive at the location. The neighborhood looks safe, I picked it out because of that. It's not a rich neighborhood though. The building we walk into has an elevator which at least works, my apartment is in the third floor. I'm excited to see the place. When we walk in, it actually needs some cleaning which I didn't think of because I thought it was clean. There's only one bedroom like I wanted, it's not huge but it's big enough for all my things.

"I will have Julia contact a cleaning crew to come in early before the movers drop off your things. And that's non negotiable."

"Fine, I was going to do it myself. It's really no big deal."

After we left my place, Jason suggested we go to some restaurant near his building. I didn't think much of it because non of the people who worked for him could actually come to these parts of town. Plus it was Saturday and I knew most of them were preparing to go for a night out, something that I haven't done in a long time. I didn't miss the night life that much, it was much for Scarlett.

We had our meal and turned in for the day. It was only five in the evening but It's not like we had anywhere to be. As soon as we walked in his ace, Jason excused himself and went to his office. He was there for about two hours while I was watching tv. When he joined me around seven I was already sleepy. He helped me to bed and we slept.

Sunday came too soon. The night was too short for me. I felt like I didn't get much sleep. I had to get up and go shopping before I went to my mother's though. It was only six in the morning, Jason wasn't in bed. After my shower I found him in his office again, he seemed busy so I just kissed him and told him I was leaving. It was already close to seven. I called a cab to take me to the nearest grocery store and bought what I needed for lunch.

It's loud in my childhood home. It's like a celebration is being held. And as I walk in the house my mom comes to greet me and hands me a hot cup of cocoa and I know it's going to be a long day.

"You look good. Very good...too good, have you found yourself a new man this fast?" She asks after giving me a hug.

Right from the kitchen, I hear my brother scream, "I bumped into Mike last night, he said some guy is claiming to be her man, mom." Fucking hell
