Chapter 94

Jason's pov :
Wrapping my arms around her, I shoved her head into my chest, caressed her back and hair so she could feel relaxed in my arms. She hugged me back and laid her hands on my back.
I knew that I should explain everything to her, the way she non-stop spilled out her feelings and doubts but first of all, I wanted her to feel comfy and calm.
"Feeling better, now?" I asked and kissed her forehead to assure her that I cared about her. Girls loved forehead kisses because forehead kisses meant that the guy cared for her, I didn't know about it before but a few weeks ago, I started reading a book on dating that had various topics about the relationship that I needed to learn to be a better man for Lia. It was a childish thing to do but I couldn't care less.
The author had written that whenever you need to soothe your girl, give her forehead kiss and hugs, first. I was following the things that I learned from that book.
She nodded and kissed my cheek. I smiled at her cuteness. Whenever she kissed my cheek, I always felt that she was the most adorable girl in the world.
"You give me kisses on the cheek when you are impressed by me, right? Like it's a reward for my good job!" I wiggled my brows and she blushed. "Blush says something."
She pouted and folded her hands as if she was still mad at me but I knew that she wasn't. The one thing that I forgot to notice was my hoodie, it looked better on her than on me. Seeing my hoodie on her, a tingly feeling was dabbling in my heart that was hard to explain.
"Let's go to the beach!" I held her hand and we headed out to the beach.
It was a beautiful sunset, a perfectly clouded pink sky, and the birds were chirping a romantic melody. The cool sand touched our bare feet, and the waves of the ocean brought us serenity each time it came into contact with our feet.
Besides, the girl sitting next to me on the sand was the most beautiful scenery to look at. Well, it was time to clear her doubts so I began, "I don't prefer sexy and hot, I prefer just you. I didn't lie, it wasn't easy for me either. Being with you but not kissing you was like torture for me. You know, boys are hornier than girls."
She tittered at my confession and seeing her smile, a smile automatically twitched my lips. I scratched the back of my neck and continued, "I didn't want to mess it up so I was waiting for a hint. I took the risk of kissing you every time, thinking you won't be hurt or mad at me but you know, those kisses were off track." I shrugged and sighed. "Plus, you didn't kiss me first in these three months and always wore t-shirts and shirts so I thought you were making it very clear to me that you don't want it. I'm not judging you, I was just waiting for a clue to know that you want it, too but-"
I was looking at the beach while speaking so I didn't realize when she rose from the sand. I realized it when she was trying to sit in my lap, putting her hands on my cheeks.
That was so distracting while talking about something serious, that flirtish smile yet confident eyes staring into my eyes. Jesus! She leaned forward to kiss my cheek and intentionally lingered her lips longer to send a chill down my spine.
"You look sexy when you are confident, and that's why I don't want you to doubt yourself and me, too!" I shifted my hands on her back from the sand and stretched my legs longer so she could feel cosy.
Her hands wrapped around my waist and she rested her hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry! I'm feeling guilty for doubting you. You were just taking care of us and I was-"
"Overthinking! Stop overthinking, Liliana Watson!" I interrupted her and hugged her back, rubbing her hair gently.
"Yeah! I should stop overthinking." She took a fistful hold of my shirt and closed the distance for the air between us.
"I don't like your hesitating face, I like your confident face better. If you were craving for my touch, you could ask me to do so. You just needed a small move to make, and I could lead it forward," I muttered in a husky voice and she poked into my chest.
She pulled herself out of our hug and shrugged. "I didn't mean it, I was angry that time."
I pushed her to the sand and crisscrossed my arms. "Alright! I won't kiss you, then! I was the crazy one to believe that you want me to do...forget it! It won't happen. Never mind!" I pretended to be angry to be coaxed by her.
Her jaw dropped and before she could react properly, I began walking to the house. Lia ran to me and climbed onto my back, making me fall into the sand.
"Drop the act! Let me tell you a secret!" She giggled and whispered in a low voice, "a confident woman is the most dangerous creature in the world and if you're loving a confident woman, you're in danger." She smirked and I rolled my eyes.
I held her hands and looked into her eyes with sincerity. "I knew it, and trust me, you always look hot, sexy, and beautiful in all the outfits. I bought a few for you just because I wanted to see you wearing those cute and sexy dresses just like every other guy. It wasn't a judgement, it was just a wish, a desire-"
She sealed our lips for a moment to stop me from speaking. "I don't need an explanation now. I got it and from now on, I'll never think too much before kissing you because now I know that you are mine only. I own this body," she traced my face with her finger and we both chuckled.
"Well, you look fucking gorgeous in my clothes, too. You can choose whatever fits your taste, but I would prefer to see you wearing nothing." Sending a wink her way, I held her hand and headed to the house.
"Should I call everyone else to invite them here? It's a pretty cool place to hang out."
"No! No way! It's going to be a year soon since we met, and do you feel that we have spent alone time ever? You neither come to my home, nor you invite me to your place. Finally, I managed to plan everything and now you want to call everyone else here." I pouted and rolled my eyes.
She burst out laughing and I held the suitcase in my hand. "Let's place everything in the cupboard, and check if you still need something!"
By putting my part of things in the respective places, I started unpacking her portion of the bag. She peacefully sat on my bed and kept looking at me as I unpacked everything. Her eyes widened when I picked up the lacy red packet and smirked.
"What the fuck! Jay, you are unbelievable." She blushed and covered her face with the pillow. "I'll take the other room."
"No way!" I ordered and she didn't protest. Applause for me for a victory! "Finally, it's done! You should be hungry by now. Let me cook dinner for you!"
She threw the pillow and jumped on the bed. "Jason Casano knows how to cook?! Are you kidding me or planning to kill me with the food cooked by you?" Scoffing, she moved out of the bed.
"Pick any dress and take a shower! Take your time while getting ready so that I can cook dinner and it's our date, baby." Kissing her hand, I winked at her and grabbed my bag in which I had kept all my things to wear at our date tonight.
"Let me help you in the kitchen! We can take shower after cooking dinner."
I shoved her into my chest by pulling her hand forcibly. "If you mean by taking shower together. Well, that jacuzzi tub is a fancy thing to explore together with the strawberry body wash, that's my favorite."
She nudged my stomach and released my hold on her. "You deserve to cook alone." And she kept pushing me away until I was out of the room.
"Alright! I'm locking the door just in case, you come earlier than I expect and ruin my surprise. My hard work will be in vain so you better take a good time while showering or you can gossip with your friends on the phone," I suggested and started pulling my bag along with me in which I had kept my outfit and necessary things for tonight.
"That's not fair! Open the door, Jay! I don't want to eat burned or raw food. Jay! Jay! We'll miss kitchen romance." She banged on the door loudly.
"We are staying here for two days so you'll have the chance to gawk at me when I'll cook. And it's time for payback, baby!" I shouted and shoved my ass into the kitchen, leaving the bag in the hall.
By putting all the stuff on the kitchen counter that I bought in the grocery store, I put on the apron and start cooking. I had taken a few notes from that book on which I needed to work on. Girls loved the guys more who could cook so I was practising cooking in my house for the past two weeks from my chefs.
I wanted to impress her with the perfect dishes so I practised all the dishes many times before cooking for her. Barbie was teasing me for that, but I wanted to change and make my girl feel special.
After all, winning Lia's heart and trust wasn't that easy. I had to put some effort into keeping my promises and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so into that girl so was she, everything seemed perfect with her.
Chopping the garlic and onion, I turned on the stove and heated the saucepan to make the sauce for cajun butter steak. Completing the first dish as quickly as I could, I started making lemon garlic shrimp. And at last but not least, ramen noodles. Lia loved Chinese dishes and ramen noodle was her favourite.
I looked at the sink which was overflowing with utensils. Cooking three dishes had already taken one hour. That was still quick because I was practising cooking five dishes for the past two weeks and that too, twice a day. I had to do dishes because I wasn't planning to do dishes after our romantic date.
For a moment, I regretted the decision to cook dinner at home. We could simply go to a fancy place and enjoy our dinner, but that wouldn't impress Lia so it was a good decision so far. Sighing, I moved to the sink and took the dishwasher in my hand, rolling my eyes.
As smart and vigorous I was, it took me thirty minutes only to clear all the mess I had done in the kitchen while cooking. Leaving my apron in its place, I took the bag and headed to the other room to take shower and get ready for tonight.
Why was I feeling like a housewife?
Well, I could be a househusband for Lia. That girl could make me do anything.
