Chapter 40

Jason's pov :
"We are dating so I can't deny that you are my boyfriend," her hold on my shirt puckered, "I like you, Jay. Being a tomboy and sharing my feelings with you isn't a piece of cake for me, maybe I seem an immature and insane girl to you yet I'm too honest, simple, and blunt."
She landed her hands on my chest and rested her head on my back, there was no movement ahead. Maybe she had closed her eyes and was trying to just feel me.
I desperately wanted to close my eyes and feel her but I was fucking driving, though the way she just wrapped her arms on my chest, my heart already started its race with my bike.
Slightly handling my bike with one hand, I took her one hand in mine and kissed her hand, "I like your simplicity, honesty, boldness, and sometimes immaturity, too. I love the way you behave, it seems you are real and trust me, I love your insanity. And if there is something that I don't like in the future about you, I'll just tell you directly because I'm also straightforward, I can't keep anything to myself. It causes me sleepless nights and anxiety which I don't like."
"To be honest, I didn't like it when you manhandled that…, uh, I mean I'm not a thing or something to fight for," she released her hold on my shirt, "if I'm saying that I fancy you then, it doesn't matter if someone else says that she is mine. I'm nobody's estate, you shouldn't be possessive of me."
Everything was going on track, and she made me lose my temper, "what the fuck are you blabbering? Do you suppose me to stand silent when any other bastard claims that my girlfriend is his?"
She kissed my ear and started running her fingers through my hair, I could feel the warmth of her hot breath on my ear. She was giving me a hard time, I wanted to punish her by kissing her so rough that she wouldn't get enough of me but she was punishing me by kissing me while I was driving.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you. I'm just confused with myself, the way you reacted made me feel stupid and romantic at the same time," she slowly whispered into my ear.
What was that again? "And how I made you feel stupid, baby?"
"Huh, what did you just call me?"
I felt intimidated by her annoyed tone, "Lia!"
"Liar! You called me baby, how could you lie to me when I have already asked you to be honest with me?" She quickly took her hands off me.
"If you heard me then why did you ask me?" I was not in the mood to apologize when I did nothing wrong.
She didn't say anything, so I just broke the silence, "why are you trying to be complicated, Lia? You are an unpretentious and scrupulous girl, then behave like one, please!"
"Don't teach me how to behave! And don't baby me! Stop your fucking bike!"
I was flabbergasted, what was happening?
Everything was fine until I became straightforward with her, I couldn't find any better response so I kept driving.
"I said, stop your fucking bike, Jason!" She shouted but didn't bother to touch me.
So I stayed tranquil, I wanted her to touch me. The distance between us wasn't admissible for me and I knew if I wouldn't listen to her, she would do something.
"Are you stopping your bike or not? I'm gonna jump from your bike if you won't stop it."
How could I forget that she was Lia? She would find her way to make me do what she wanted.
"But it wasn't my intention, you wanted me to be honest, right? If you already knew that I called you baby then, why did you ask? What would have you done if it was me instead of you?" I didn't stop my bike and endeavored to appease her.
She didn't say anything so I felt a bit easy and stopped my bike. I twiddled my one leg from the front side of my bike like a stuntman and sat on the bike turning my face to her.
"I'm sorry!" Lia didn't make eye contact with me.
I swiftly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. Due to my unexpected move, her other hand fell on my shoulder and our faces were so close to each other that we could feel the warmth of our breathing, and our noses were touching.
"Don't you like it when I call you baby?" I muttered in a soft and soothing voice while wrapping my arms around her waist.
We were looking into each other's eyes, her pale blue eyes had an intensity and the mixed sparkle of guilt and desire, "I'm feeling shy," her cheeks flushed and she lowered her gaze.
"You look so cute when you blush, I love your rosy red cheeks," I placed a gentle kiss on her one cheek and lifted her face by raising her chin.
A strand of her hair fell on her nose, the wind helped me to make a move, I tucked that cute lock of hair behind her ear and kissed her earlobe while stroking her neck, it was my turn to tease her.
Her arms negligibly fell on my shoulders and she took a fistful hold of my shirt, "stop!"
I immediately stopped as soon as the words came out from her mouth, "I felt the same when I was driving and you kissed me," she bit her lower lip and it was turning me on to see her biting her lip.
"Please, don't do this! It's hard to control myself when I see you biting your lips," I extrude her lip with my thumb.
She took my face in her soft yet warm hands, "you make me feel like home, I love the way you treat me and make me realize my bad with patience and levity," Lia rubbed her nose with my nose and giggled sweetly.
"Sometimes, you astound me with your cute acts."
"Really? Was it a compliment or taunt?"
"Of course, compliment!"
"We should go now!" She immediately took her face back, "now, don't try to be a hero! And change your position like normal people," she got off my bike to give me space to turn my face.
"But I want to kiss you," I pouted in the gloom.
"You already have given me the torture with your kiss, do you want me to take a cab or are you driving?" She threatened me in a flat voice.
I groaned, "Fine! I bet if I'll kiss you now, you will kiss me back willingly," I winked at her and changed my position. "Don't you dare to blush when other men are around you!" I knew she would be blushing.
"That's why I go to the gym daily, to take better care of myself, I'm capable of protecting myself."
Who saved you from that jerk?
If you were able then, why didn't you release yourself from his grip?
Why didn't you beat him to the death yourself?
All the questions were floating in my mind but I didn't want to fight with her anymore, so I chose to remain silent and drive my Eaglerider peacefully.
We reached the restaurant, Emily informed us that Mary had gone to pay a visit to her cousin in her hometown, and she would return after three days.
Lia checked her phone, "she texted me but I didn't read her message. Her sister's daughter will come here to manage the restaurant by 3 pm," she shoved her phone in the pocket again.
"What would you like to take in your lunch?" Emily asked us, "same as Lia."
"So sweet! Lia, you are so lucky to have a boyfriend like him."
Before Lia could say something, her phone rang and after reading the name of the person on the display of the phone, she frowned.
I wished it not to be Justin, I didn't want to sound desperate or possessive so I didn't ask who it was.
"Yes, mom!"
I felt relieved to know that it was her mom, not that bastard.
After a moment, she again opened her mouth, "but he initiated the fight, he was at fault, mom! How can you take his side this time, too? I'm not going to apologize or break up with my boyfriend, I'm done with your behaviour tortures. I don't want to behave decently anymore," she sounded pretty mad at her mom.
Breaking up with me…?
That was never going to happen, I would never accept any reason for breaking up. And Lia wasn't a girl who would do as people say, she was able to make her decision by herself.
I guessed she had some bad memories with behaviour word, she was pissed off when I asked her to behave like the real side of her.
"I have a job, I can't come home whenever you order me. And also, I'm not available to deal with that moron. I'm going on a date with my boyfriend this evening, so I'll be late for home," she accentuated the word 'date'.
She didn't tell me anything about our date, was it a surprise for me or just an excuse for not going home?
"You can wait until the night if you want but let me tell you clearly, I'm not going to apologize to Justin nor my boyfriend will," Lia's voice became sexier with her confidence.
I loved being called her boyfriend, my ears wanted to hear that sweet word again and again. And I won't let her apologise for anything when she was not wrong.
