Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-39

I quickly texted aunt Stella about my arrival yesterday and apologized for late text.

After coffee we went to studio. It felt so good to be back in my personal sanctuary.

My students were thrilled to meet me after a long time. I was thrilled to meet them too.

Alex and i decided or moves and practiced them first. The act was choreographed amazingly. Students cheered for new innovative moves.

The dance was fusion of salsa and contemporary.

After recording mine and Alex's video we choreographed group dance.

It was fusion of hip-hop and freestyle.

After recording both the videoes Alex decided to edit them overnight and we would post them tomorrow.

It was almost nine when we finished with everything. We were utterly tired so Alex offered me dinner.

"The pasta was delicious."i moaned clutching my stomach. We were currently walking towards parking where we parked our car.

Alex chuckled." I know. I always come here when I'm hungry. They serve best food in Sydney."

I nodded in agreement. We bid goodbyes and drive to our separate ways.

I parked my car in parking near my apartment started walking towards the entrance of building. While walking i noticed Jason's car parked in front of my apartment building.

Nervousness crept up my spine. I wasn't in mood for another argument with him.

I sighed and walked to my apartment. As expected the door was unlocked. I made my way in. Jason was sitting on sofa. More like sitting and sleeping.

I closed the door and went to him and gently shook him.

He opened his eyes and yawned stretching his arms and legs..

"What's the time?" He asked me.

"Past ten."i told him.

He nodded and sat up straight."we need to talk."he said.

I sighed."Look Jason, I'm not in mood for another argument. I'm already exhausted from all the dancing today. And if you are going to bring up Micheal again then know that we are in relationship now. So please don't bicker with me on that."

He was furious after hearing what i said. His jaw clenched tightly. Here we go.

"Seriously Scarlett i thought you were better than this. You still went running to him after all the shit he put you through. Are you gone mad or something??" He glared and yelled at me.

"Don't you fucking raise your voice at me!!!! I did what i felt right. You have no fucking right to tell at me on these things. You are not my boyfriend Jason. I can do whatever the fuck i want. And yes i love him so don't you dare disrespect him."i spat back.

"You.... You fucking love him!!! How wasn't i able to see that coming?!?! Why Scarlett??!! Why did you have to hurt me like this? I was there with you when your so called 'boyfriend' dumped you. I was there with you through everything. Still you hurt my feelings. Still you rejected me. Why?!?!" His voice broke slowly.

His every word sliced through my heart. He was right. He supported me when no one did. He was my shoulder to cry on when i brokedown. He consoled me when i had nightmares. But i always saw him as a bestfriend. Nothing else.

Seeing him like this made me feel like shit. I have no right to hurt his feelings.

I sighed and scooted over to him."Jas, i know i hurt you but you always were my bestfriend. I don't have that kind of feelings for you. I don't want to lead you in wrong direction and give hopes only to crush them afterwards. I know what heartbreak feels like. But i cannot decided with whom to fall in love. It just happens." I cupped his face and tried to convince him.
