Chapter 73

Jason's pov :
"What are you doing here?" My sister was the last person I wanted to see in my girlfriend's room. Not to mention, Fiona was already snatching our privacy and now, add one more to the list.
Her eyes staring into mine, searching for the answer. "Are you even happy to see your sister here?" How could I forget that she was the one who could get me without any effort? Nevertheless, I wasn't ready to speak my mind that soon.
"Will you be happy if I come to your boyfriend's room when you are planning to have some quality time with him?" A sarcastic grin appeared on my face.
She started chuckling as if I cracked the best joke. "Jay, you are what every girl wants! A romantic, bold boyfriend!" Barbie managed to say between her laughs.
Sighing, I shoved my ass into the room as Barbie gave me space to come in.
"I know it," I muttered in an arrogant tone and my eyes started the quest for the girl whom I hurt a few hours ago. When I couldn't find her in the hallway, I went into her room in hopes that she would be alone there and I would have some sweet moments with her.
As soon as I opened the knob, Fiona waved at me while making herself more comfortable on Lia's bed than she already was. A cocky smile on her face!
Teasing!
I rolled my eyes at her and looked at the dresser where my girl was getting ready for the party.
"Are you kidding me?"
"What? Why?"
Lia was carrying a plain white t-shirt with simple flair jeans. Big circle silver hoops swinging in her ears, making her look like a party girl, and she was applying pink lipstick on her juicy lips. Everything was perfect except her outfit…
It could be better than that. "We are going to a party, not to class. You should wear something different like you dressed up on our first date, huh? Something like that red or black dress that you wore before." I hugged her from behind, placing my arms on her belly and chin on her shoulder.
"Ahem!" Fiona coughed a little when I kissed my girlfriend's cheeks slowly one by one. "I don't wanna witness this, you guys carry on with your business. I'm waiting outside, okay?" She quickly made eye contact with Lia through the mirror and when she smiled, Fiona closed the door behind her while leaving.
Lia scooted over to the chair from my grasp and crossed her arms. "What's wrong with you, Jay?"
"Will you stop nagging me?" For what I came, and what was happening here with me? I didn't come to answer her stupid question.
Ugh! Okay! It wasn't a stupid question but I didn't want to talk about it. Could she just forget it for tonight?
Shaking her head in disbelief, she raised her hands in defence. "Nagging, huh? I thought if something is bothering you, I should ask and you should share because that's what the partners are supposed to do." Her words came out in a high-pitched voice.
"We aren't husband and wife, Lia! Can you stop behaving like a wife?" I raised my voice to calm down her and make her realize that she wasn't the only one who could shout here. I was the boy but she was yelling at me like she was the boy and I was the girl who would listen to her.
Her eyes became glossy and when she looked at me with those teary almond blue eyes, I came back to my senses and took her hands in mine. "I'm sorry, baby! I know I hurt you but I don't have any explanation right now. I'll tell you soon but now is not the time. I need some privacy and space, I hope you will understand." My thumb stroked her hands but she averted her gaze from mine to hide her hurtful face.
I pulled her into a hug, leaning my body into her warmth. "Please, forgive me!" My hands caressed her back and hair gently. She didn't speak a single word and didn't hug me back either.
Okay! So it was the high time between us, I needed to do something to make her forget what happened here a moment ago.
"You never commented on my outfit like that before, is my dressing style affecting you that much?" She asked while placing her head on my chest.
I exhaled a long breath that was stuck in my lungs. "It's just that we are going to a party and everyone is gonna dress up like that. Look at Fiona and Barbie, they are also wearing different clothes than you, right?" My hands kept rubbing her back as I whispered in her ears in a low voice.
"Fine! I'll change my dress, you can wait for me in the car. I'll be right back in fifteen minutes." Lia quickly removed my hands from her body and walked to her wardrobe, searching for a better outfit.
She took out an a-line maroon crop top and matching colour mini skirt. I took a breath of relief when I noticed that she chose a better outfit this time. I didn't want to make her feel like I was standing to check on her dress so before she could turn and notice me still standing in her room, I made my way out of her room.
If Fiona and Barbie were in the hall, they must have heard our voices and they would question me. Taking a deep breath, I took a full view of the hallway, preparing myself for listening to my dear sister's lecture. Barbie must be formulating her long speech about my being an asshole.
Thankfully, no one was in the hall. The girls were probably in their boyfriends' rooms, and here I was ordered to wait for my girlfriend in the car.
Fuck! I was unnecessarily messing up my relationship with Lia, I should apologise to my girl in a better way. I knew she didn't forgive me yet, it was just an excuse to give her some time to forget the incident that I made up.
I laid my ass on the couch and covered my face with my palms as the guilt and grief took over me. I should behave better, my innocent girl didn't deserve that.
"Jay?"
I removed my hands from my face to see the gorgeous angel standing in front of me. "You are looking so beautiful, baby!" I tried to hide my anxiety and smiled to assure her that I was absolutely fine.
"Why didn't you wait for me in your car instead of sitting on my couch like a guilty boy?" She suppressed her lips to show the bitterness that I gave her and caught my exact expressions very well that I tried to restrain.
"Oh, my smart girl! Please!" I pleaded with my eyes not to make me feel more guilty by harsh words.
She giggled and started strolling over to me, sitting on my lap and cupping my cheeks, she made me look into her hypnotizing blue eyes. "I know you are hiding something from me that is eating your head but I'm not gonna ask you again what's that, okay? But just to let you know that you can share it with me anytime, I'm telling you this."
Giving me a small pack on my right cheek, she stood up from my lap and intertwined our fingers. "Shall we?"
How did I get so lucky? Even though I was a jerk, she was the mature, smart, kind, and best girlfriend I could ever ask for.
I was getting emotional here, my heart wanted to tell her everything that was swirling in my mind since the afternoon but my mind wasn't letting me do it. The warmth of her hand filled me with a good feeling that at least there was a person in my life who would stay with me even after seeing my bad side.
"I um, I lo-"
"Aren't we getting late?"
Perhaps it wasn't the right time to say those words to her after an insane fight that might have put some doubts in her heart but she won't show it for sure.
Giving a short nod in agreement, we came out of her room and marched to my car while holding each other's hands. My gaze was stuck at our intertwined fingers as we were walking to the parking side. What if she wouldn't have shown her maturity and broke up with me?
That thought made me realize how much I love her and need her in my life. I couldn't imagine my life without her, I should start behaving better. And to be honest, I didn't want to imagine that life.
"Let me be a gentleman!" I smiled and opened the door for her and kissed her lips when she sat on the passenger seat. We shared a quick sweet kiss before leaving the resort.
"I know that I'm losing my control and hurting you but I promise you that tonight, we'll have fun and I won't give you a single chance to be upset, okay?"
I took her hand in my left hand and kissed it, she nodded and smiled to assure me that she believed whatever I said but her eyes were saying something different. She was hurt. And I was the reason again for hurting her.
Who am I?
A son of a bitch who kept hurting my girl even though I loved her more than I could ever imagine.
