was astonished. “Jase, I can’t take these,” she said. “You didn’t have to do this.”
This was typical of Jason. He was always so kind and thoughtful, and he always was when it came to her.
“I know,” he said as he flashed his cheeky smile her way while plugging in the docking station. After selecting her favorite Fleetwood and pressed play. He turned and sat back on the sofa and they listened to the music for a moment. Jason then turned to Rebecca.
“Becs I’m sorry,” he hung his head trying to find the right words.
“Don’t apologize for him,” she said with sincerity. “It was David who did this, NOT you.”
“No,” he softly said, as he took her hand in his.
“NO Becs,” he said again. “I’m sorry I let you let go of my hand all those years ago,” and with that he leaned gently towards Rebecca and pressed his soft warm lips on hers.
‘Landslide’ sung by Stevie Nicks was already playing when she found herself kissing him back. He knew it was one of her favorite tracks. He had bought the album for her the previous year for her birthday.
It was only after the song was finished that she pulled away from him and quickly composed herself.
“I can’t do this Jason. It’s not right.” She was racked with guilt. “It’s too soon and YOU’RE best friends. This situation is already messy enough without us complicating it even more.”
Plus it went against everything she stood for with regards to loyalty. She had stood up to try and distance herself from him. She had enjoyed his soft kisses too much and didn’t trust herself if she sat down again beside him. No, she wasn’t this kind of girl.
“Becs, I have feelings for you. I always have. You must have known that?” Jason implored.
But she hadn’t. She had always been so infatuated, loyal, to David she had never looked at anyone else. Don’t get me wrong Jason was gorgeous, dashingly handsome in fact and well groomed. He never had problems in the lady department. He was very good looking; striking in fact. Girls used to ask him if he was a male model, which the lad’s took the Mickey out of him.
He was far better looking than David and that’s why she had let his hand go that night. Because she had stupidly thought he would have been the troublesome one out of the two. ‘ God what a fool I am’ she thought.
She did know one thing and that was if she had gone with Jason that night her life would have been very different to the life she had just lived and was now living.
They sat and talked till it was late. When she awoke the next morning on the couch, Jason had his arms wrapped around her. They had obviously fallen asleep at some point. She didn’t want to move not because she didn’t want to wake Jason but because she missed the closeness of someone holding her. It had been too long, she couldn’t even remember the last time David and her had woken up like this. Jason awoke and gave her a little squeeze.
“Morning gorgeous,” he said. “Want some coffee?”
He jumped up throwing the make shift covers of the fur throw he had used from the back of the couch as a blanket and headed towards the kitchen. Rebecca’s eye’s followed him. ‘God he is fit’ she thought. She heard him put on the kettle and when it had boiled he started pouring. She got up starting to make her way to the kitchen, but she was met by Jason at the kitchen door carrying two coffee mugs. He passed by her setting down the mugs on the coffee table in front of them. Rebecca sat back down. He picked up the glasses from the night before and he headed back towards the kitchen and started to wash them out. ‘ God David would never have done that. Fuck I hate David! God I hate thinking about him, ’ she thought, before she had even finished that thought Jason had returned to the couch and was reaching for his coffee.
Once he had finished his, he asked Rebecca if he could take a shower. Which actually was a perfectly normal thing that he done countless times when
