I went to bed, angry at Jason but when I woke up, seeing him sleeping soundly beside me put all my anger away. I forgot how much I missed him. His face looked relaxed as his hair lightly covered his forehead. Even with scars he had a beautiful face. So beautiful I could gaze all day.
I frowned when I realised what I just said. What is wrong with me? I quickly removed the duvet from my body and walked towards the bathroom. In front of the sink I took deep breaths before washing my face.
When I got out of the room, Jason was awake and stretching his shirtless body. He really had a sculpted body. If it was possible the scars and wounds on his body made him look more sexy and dangerous.
"Good morning." I blinked a couple of times before nodding my head at that raspy voice. Something is wrong with me today. My body is not functioning well. I made my way to the dressing table only to get my toes stubbed.
"Oh! My holy.... Ah!" Jumping around on one foot, I stumbled upon a hard body.
"Easy there, princess." Gulping down hard, I pushed the person behind me and marched towards the dressing table. That was rude of me, I admit. For someone who saved me instead of thanking him, I pushed him away.
"You okay, princess?"
"Yeah." He gave me a suspicious look before entering the bathroom. I laid my head on the table wondering what on the earth just happened.
When we both got down after getting ready, it was already time for lunch. Me and Jason were sitting at the dining table waiting for everyone. Jason said he missed me so much he didn't let me go anywhere far from him. He made me sit on his lap while he asked me to fill in everything I did when he wasn't present.
I have sat on his lap a lot of times but today was different. It felt awkward. I was stiff and I guess even Jason noticed it. He looked confused and wanted to ask me but he shook it away asking me of my adventures in the Miller mansion in his absence.
At first it was awkward, I couldn't even make eye contact with him. Soon the mood became light and I was animatedly talking to him about everything and anything especially about Jewel. His one hand was playing with my hair while the other hand was in my hands.
"You need to meet Jewel, Jason. She's such a ball of sunshine. She's an exact replica of her dad a bit less intimidating."
"Oh! God. Not even a second in this room and I already wanna gauge my eyes out." We both looked at the owner of the voice who was wearing a disgusted face and had covered his eyes with one hand.
"Good afternoon to you too mister Singleton." Jason greeted in posh manner making the other one scoff.
"You know paedophilia is wrong and disgusting."
"So? When have I been a saint to do something right and pure." Jonathan scrunched his nose before smirking.
"So, you finally accept. Accept the fact that you are a disgusting pig who fantasize about young innocent girl aka Pedophile." Jason confused expression turned into stern one while Johnnie's changed from smug to horror when he got attacked by a knife.
"Hey!!!!! People could die."
"Like I care." I turned my head back and forth to Jason and Johnnie as they banter like kindergarten kids. Soon in the midst of their argument I saw Linda walking or more like limping towards us.
"What's wrong Linda? Why are you walking like that?"
"Oh it's nothing....
"Yeah, it's nothing. She's just sore from all the punishment she got this morning." Linda glared at Johnnie for interrupting her while the later one had a smug look. I looked at Jason when he started coughing and he had a hard glare set at Johnnie.
Not long after we were accompanied by Mr. Poker face Gavin and Courtney who looked really flushed. She made brief contact with Linda and I before more redness covered her face and bowed her head. I frowned as I curiously assess her behaviour. I turned my head to Linda who shrugged with an amused look. She knew something I didn't.
Everyone started entering the dining hall one by one and the table was soon filled. Every chair was occupied except for two. Just then a female with a scarf on her neck came rushing in followed by other Singleton who was leisurely walking.
The atmosphere in the room was awkward. Even if there was food in front of me, I couldn't concentrate on it. I looked at Courtney, Linda and Gemma. I let out a big sigh before calling for Courtney. I looked at every item near her.
"Can you pass me the juice?" She gave a baffled look before passing it to me. I looked at everyone to see busy in their own world when I grabbed Courtney's hand and mouthed what's wrong? She just shook her head like she was scared to get caught.
"Abby?" I quickly turned towards Johnnie. "I heard you went to club last night to have a girl's night." He quoted the last two words, smirking at me like he knew something I didn't. Which was very annoying by the way, but I didn't let him see it.
"Oh yes, we did. Last night was the most amazing night. Did you know Linda has a friend name Carol?" I looked from the corner of my eyes to see Marcus giving me curious look. O...kay~~~ here we go.
"You see, she is such a beautiful lady with amazing moves. Last night this really really really really really....
"Really what?" Johnnie shouted with irritated look.
"Really really really handsome man came to these two girls. And asked for a dance. At first everything was going good but later things started to get heated. The two girls; Linda and Carol started dancing sexually, forgetting about the man. The two were in such an intimate moment, they just started making out in the middle of dance floor. Then they both realised their feelings for each other and confessed to one another; and are planning to marry by next month."
Everyone looked baffled by my story. Some looked confused, some looked shocked, some had their jaws dropped while the three girls who were with me last night looked like they were going to die controlling their laughter.
There was a long pause as I took a bite of my food. I looked at everyone's reaction properly before facing Johnnie with my most innocent smile.
"Kii. Dding." I saw Johnnie bare his teeth making me more amused and poke my tongue out at him.
"That. Was. Not. Funny."
"It wasn't. It was hilarious. You should have seen your faces, it was priceless." I peeked at his face not having any of my jokes. His face was red with anger. "Why are you angry Johnnie? Shouldn't you be pleased with my story?"
"Why should I be?" He questioned through gritted teeth.
"Because I thought guys liked to fantasize about two girls being sexual and all that." Don't ask how I found about this information. I just found out.
"I'm sorry, who told you that?" A very appalled voice asked and I'd tell you that was not Johnnie.
"Well not when people are labelling your girl with another." I noticed the strained in his voice as he clenched his fist.
"Your girl?" I gasped faking shock, covering my mouth with my hand. "I'm sorry Jonathan I didn't know Carol was your girlfriend." A loud bang on the table startle me.
"Who's talking about Carol? I'm talking about Linda. Linda's my girl. I don't care if I love and care you a lot like my sister, Abby; if you paired this girl with someone else I won't tolerate." Jonathan was mad would be a big understatement. He was panting like he had just ran a marathon while his eyes blazed fire and nose flared.
"Linda's mine. She has been mine and she will always be mine. Not just Abigail everybody keep it in mind. This ship here -he pointed at him and Linda back and forth- has f*(king sailed. It had sailed the moment I f(king laid eyes on this girl and even way way before some girl named Carol came into the picture. So anyone dared try to sink this ship get ready to fight the demon."
Jonathan ended with his hard glare settled at me. I just couldn't help but let a full blown smile cover my face. I know I'm just adding fuel to his anger by smiling like an idiot.
"Aww.... Johnnie you even know words like ship. I am so proud of you."
I wiped a fake tear mocking him. He looked ready to burst, his face turning red in anger. However, before he could burst out his anger at anyone here; I turned away. I turned away from his questioning gaze to the girl with a satisfied smile beside him.
"Will that be enough?"
"It is more than enough." Linda replied to me smugly. While the boys looked at us confusion lacing their expression.
"Don't look us like that. It's all your fault."
"My... my fault?" Jonathan pointed at himself frowning as Linda guided him to sit down.
"If you haven't been so confusing and truthfully admitted your real feelings to Linda; and not let her doubt about whatever you guys had. We wouldn't have to do what we did this past couple days, weeks whatever you like to call it." I twirled my fork trying to explain him.
"Bu... but I thought that night in the woods sealed the deal." Jonathan looked like a lost puppy as he faced Linda. Aww... he looked so cute I wanted to pinch his cheek.
"Well, I needed assurance that whatever I feel you feel the same way too. I wanted to talk to you about us but whenever we meet you would jump on me like a sex derived dog who finally found his b!+(h in heat."
I won't lie I cringed hard at the way they used their words but I didn't want to interrupt. I rubbed Jason's back as he went on coughing continuously.
"And you treating me like that just made me feel like one of your fck buddies. I thought I was the only one harbouring feelings while you weren't even aware about the things going through my mind."
"So, does that mean you aren't marrying Carol." Johnnie asked making us snort.
"No, Jonathan. I'm not. After seeing your naked body for the first time I couldn't even properly fantasize about Orlando Bloom anymore. And you think I would feel something for that girl." Linda rolled her eyes nonchalantly not noticing the now smug expression forming on her 'boyfriend's' face.
"So, you fantasize about me instead of Orlando Bloom then?" Linda blinked vigorously as Jonathan leaned closer to her face with an annoying smirk.
"Did you fantasize about me being inside you?" Linda gulped audibly making her man's smirk widen. "Did you fantasize about my D!(K being-----
When I finally realised what was happening I slammed my hands hard on the table getting everyone's attention. I gave them all an awkward smile as they turned to me. I even heard a small 'thank god' beside me.
"Umm.... So, now that Jonathan and Linda's relationship has been umm..... I.. I'd like to make a toast." I quickly took my glass of juice and raising it in front of me. I can see everyone giving me 'what is she doing' or 'what did she just say' look. Making me couscious about my situation and nearly had me put the glass down. Nearly because I can't back down now that I've already raised my glass.
If I just kept the glass down it'll make things just more awkward than it is. So, I gestured for everyone to follow my lead and raise their glass.
"Let's make a toast for Jinda's coming relationship."
"What?!!!" Courtney gave me baffled look.
"What the heck is Jinda?" Gemma piped up from her seat.
"Jonathan and Linda's ship name, Jinda."
"Really? That's the best you could come up with." Courtney retorted boredly.
"Well than why don't you try it?" I crossed my arms challenging her.
"What about Jonda?"
"Honda?" I know she said Jonda but it sounded like Honda, I couldn't help but mock that name. I heard a snort from the other side.
"Beside for Honda, it also sounds like some kind of disease."
"Jaundice?" Linda tilted her head at Gemma. "I swear to god the first thing that came to mind hearing that name was jaundice. Please don't tell me I'm the only one."
Then we started discussing about their ship names but us being the name giving genius we were only ended coming with shipnames that either sounded like deadly disease or weapon.
"Okay fine shut for now let's just go with their namr. A toast for Jonathan and Linda's relationship." I put a smile on my annoyed as I raised my glass higher.
"Wow.... you make it feel like we're getting married."
"You are getting married." Jonathan's eyes widened at my statement. "Why? Don't you two wanna get married?"
"Ye... yeah, ha... ha... but..." We four looked at Jonathan wearily.
"Of course, I'd marry you." Jonathan held Linda's hand. "Truth be told I can't see myself with anyone else beside you. You're the only one for me."
"Awww.... aren't you quite the romantic guy?" Gemma gushed leaning her head on her hand that was resting on the table.
"I can be quiet romantic too you." We heard James tell Gemma as he leaned closer to her, making her tense. I squealed loudly averting everyone's attention.
"I can't wait for little Johnnie and Linda walking around the house."
"Let me get past through the dating phase properly first, woman."
"You two have already gone past the whole wedding night ritual. So, what's the fuss?" I see Linda trying to cover her redden face in Jonathan's chest.
"Now, that I think about.... should we?" Johnnie suggestively waggle his eyebrows getting a hit on his chest by Linda with a low and shy 'shut up'.
I giggle at her state that cause her to face. "I'll see you later on." Linda threaten me only for me to poke my tongue at her teasingly.
We were making fun of Linda and her future babies, loving her flushed expression. She is someone really hard to embarrass, so we were taking our chances and getting engrossed in it, until someone entered the dinning hall and went straight beside Jason and start whispering.
I couldn't make out what the man was saying but whatever he was saying was anything but pleasant. From the way Jason's gleaming face darkened it wasn't a good news. Jason stared at the boys sending some telepathic message after the man left.
He looked pretty disturbed, I couldn't help but put my hand on his. He looked at my hand on his before interlacing them together and giving my hand a squeeze and me an assuring look.
