Disclaimer: I don't own True Blood. I only own Lexie and her family. Can season five come like now?
Chapter 10
Jason POV
It only took me a minute realize where my surroundings are when morning came. I opened my eyes slowly as I can smell something coming from the kitchen. I realized that I wasn't home and I know for a fact Hoyt wasn't cooking.
I got up from the couch and headed towards the kitchen when I saw Lexie over at the stove. She was wearing a white tank top with black lounge pants on. Her hair was up in a messy bun and I couldn't help but smile a little at that.
"You're up," she said. "I hope you would want some breakfast."
"Yeah, what do you got?" I asked.
"Nothing special just toast and bacon," she replied.
"Yeah, I'll take some," I said.
"I was surprised that you didn't leave," she said.
"What made you think that?"
"For one thing, I get the impression that you have one night stands or something like that," she replied.
"Come on, do you really believe that I'm the type that would sleep around with girls all time?" I asked.
She stopped whatever she was doing and just looked at me. For some reason, I'm turned on by that. Whoa, where did that come from?
"Don't look at me like that," I said.
"Mhmm, whatever you say," she mumbled, going back to the stove.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
"I do it's just well, I don't know I just don't want to get screwed over," she said.
When I went to open up my mouth, I heard the house phone ringing. Lexie mumbled out an apology as she went over to answer it. I heard her answer it as she walked away from the kitchen. I sat by the counter finishing up when I noticed a drawer was slightly open.
A part of me wanted to go ahead and close it but there was a bigger part of me that was curious to know what was in there. When I went to close it, I saw a white envelope lying on the silverware. I opened it up a little bit to see what it was but when I was going to reach for the envelope, I heard footsteps coming.
"Sorry about that, that was my mother on the phone," she said.
I slammed the drawer shut and spun around to see her looking at me with a weird look on her face.
"What were you just doing?" she asked warily.
"I was um, looking for another fork, mine fell on the floor," I lied. Okay so it wasn't true, but I had to think of something so she wouldn't get suspicious for now.
"I see," she said. "By the way, you had the right drawer."
"Oh," I said. "So um Lexie, you know how we were supposed to hangout when you got out of work?"
"Yeah I know and I'm sorry I ruined it," she said.
"Hey now," I said, lifting her chin so we're eye to eye with each other. I never knew how beautiful her eyes were up close until now. "Whatever happened last night; wasn't your fault. You did nothing wrong, you hear me?"
"I know," she said.
"Good, because since you're off and I'm off, why don't we just stay here today?" I suggested.
"How about we can just head out? I don't feel like staying in just because of one incident," she said.
"Alright, if you say so," I said.
"Okay just let me change and freshen up," she said.
She ran upstairs and I sat on the couch waiting for her. I was curious still as to what was the envelope was about and why would she hide it from me. I don't know why I would be concerned about it, but there is something she isn't telling me. I should give her the benefit of the doubt that whatever she has hiding, I know that for sure.
I was determined right there I'm going to find out what's going on whether she likes it or not.
Lexie POV
I'll admit that spending time with Jason was something I'd never experience but he's a nice guy to be around with. Maybe I did misjudge him a bit but, he is a nice guy.
After he dropped me off, I went upstairs to fix myself a bath. Normally I would shower but I just wanted to get the tension off my muscles.
I couldn't help but notice how Jason was acting around me when we were out. Either he was standing close to me or had his arms around me protectively in case something were to happened which nothing did happen by the way. I guess he took what happened last night seriously.
But why would he?
I shrugged that question off of myself for the time being as I got inside and settled for the night. I picked out a few DVDS and just popped one in. While the stupid trailers were playing, I made popcorn and grabbed a water bottle as I got comfortable on the couch.
The movie started to play on the TV as I wrapped a blanket on my legs to since I had to AC blasting for awhile. I lowered it soon after and then I watched the movie. I was only half paying attention to it when my mind drifted towards Jason. Seriously though, I know I shouldn't even bother thinking about it but I couldn't help it.
I rolled my eyes at the thought of that. There was no way that Jason Stackhouse would fall for someone like me.
It was just no way.
I walked into work the next day not feeling any sense of fear since yesterday. I saw that the place had a few customers when I walked in to the back. I put my bag away and then I heard someone coming into the room. I looked over my shoulder and saw that it was Sam.
"Hey Lex," he said.
"Hi Sam," I said, tying my apron on.
"You know you don't have to work today if you don't want to," he said.
"Sam, that's generous of you but someone, has to make the money and the tip here. I don't want whatever happened the other day making me feel weak. I just want to do my job that's all," I said.
"Okay that's fine; if you feel like you don't…"
"I'll be fine, what could happen on my shift?" I said, leaving the backroom.
Throughout the day, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Well, if you call some drunken hooligans almost getting into a brawl over senseless shit counts as an eventful thing, then you would be calling yourself crazy right about now.
It was getting towards the end of my shift and to be honest, I was a little nervous. I was nervous only because I didn't want to be out there by myself. I'll admit after what happened that night, I was a little scared of being by myself at work. I was glad that I did drove to work today.
When my shift ended, I grabbed my things and my car keys and headed towards my car. I got in and made sure my doors were locked once I started the car up. I drove home and I couldn't wait to be home. Which reminds me; I still got laundry and dishes to do from yesterday.
I was listening to my IPOD when I got on to the street. I drove a little bit slower when I got to my house. The weird feeling came back all of a sudden. What the hell is going on?
I got out of my car and I locked it before I went inside. I got in and was getting settled when I heard a knock on the door. I jumped at the sound of it when the knocking came a second time. I walked slowly towards the door and looked through the peephole and I was shocked to see who it was.
I slowly opened the door where I saw my visitor waiting. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.
"I just wanted to see you," Dad replied.
"You tried and look what happened," I said.
"Please, just give me a few minutes," he said.
I stood there for a minute just thinking. I didn't really want to see him but on the other hand; he did made the trip out here and I know for a fact that he's trying here. I do give him credit but for how long this will last? Who even knows?
"Okay, come in," I said, letting my dad in.
This should be interesting.
A/n: I know I'm late but it's been done.
The chapter I meant, well you know what I mean.
I'll try to update again. It's getting near the end of the semester and you know what that means? Yep, it's almost finals time in a month. I still can't believe it.
You know what to do! More stuff will happen and maybe a certain kiss will happen. Who knows? Anyways I'll shut up and post this chapter.
See you guys next time!
Until then!
