Chpt.10

Jason frowned when Indira winced as he grabbed her arms. Jason looked her in the eye, and she was looking back at him with fear.

Jason was about to pull the sleeve of the shirt up, but she tore away from him.

"Indira, what happened?" Jason inquired, but his voice held some agitation.

Indira looked down at her feet as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Indira…" he began in a low growl, but she looked at him fearfully.

"Don't yell." She whispered, but her fear was apparent.

That made Jason frown even more. Ever since he had lost it in front of her, she had been more weary around him. Jason wished he never blew up in front of her.

"I won't yell, Indi, now please show me your arms." He stated firmly and Indira slowly casted her eyes to her arms.

She slowly pulled up one sleeve, revealing bluish purplish skin that trailed all up her arm, and it was the same on the other side.

"They tried to recruit me, and I said no. They won't bother me again, Jason. I made sure of it. Just… I got hurt a little." She informed.

"Indira you could have…" Jason started, his voice laced with anger, but it was Indira's turn to harden.

"Could have what, Jason? Died? Well, last time I checked, I'm still alive! I was in a gang for years Jason! Don't treat me like I can't defend myself because I can! I'm strong Jason! I am strong so don't treat me like a little weak thing!" she shouted.

Jason stared at her in shock. He had never been yelled at by her before. However, he noticed how she looked to be on the verge of tears.

"I-I don't like yelling at you Jay." Indira whispered. "I use to be able to get mad at people so easily, to yell at people, and not care at all. But you… it hurts to yell at you. I don't want to yell at you. I really don't. I'm sorry Jason. I'm sorry."

She sat on the couch and put her head in her hands, her eyes casted down to the floor.

Jason slowly walked over to her and timidly took a seat next to her, lightly grasping her head and running his fingers through her hair.

"Indira, do I scare you when I'm angry?" Jason questioned in a whisper.

"Yes." Indira stated seriously. "You're not the same person. It's like you let that anger consume you, and that's all you care about. It's scary seeing you like that, Jason." She frowned.

Jason kissed the top of her head and brought his arm around Indira's side in a small hug.

"I don't mean to get angry, Indi, it's just…. It's something I need to work on. I know I have some issues with my anger, but I only get angry, because I hate it when you're hurt or when you don't see yourself how I see you." he explained. "I'll work on it, Indira. I promise."

Indira smiled as she leaned her head against Jason's chest.

"Mi amor." She whispered in a very soft voice. Jason was most likely not meant to hear it. He smiled and chuckled softly.

"My love? We coming close to the next level, Indi?" Jason questioned in a teasing way.

"What. I didn't say my love." She stated. "I said… Olivia. I like the name Olivia." She nodded quickly.

Jason looked at her, amused.

"Olivia, huh? Why Olivia?" Jason questioned.

"Well, it means peace, and it's just nice sounding." She paused for a moment. "But Olivia feels like to long a name to shout out. It should be shortened. Livia? Via? Ivia? Liv? Livy-"

"So, what brought up names while I was hugging you?" Jason questioned with a chuckle. "Since you obviously didn't say 'my love' in Spanish while I was hugging you." He added with a smirk.

"What I said was true. I really do like the name Olivia, but maybe shortened." She debated, and Jason chuckled.

"You said 'Mi Amor' not Olivia."

Indira sighed but nodded.

"Alright, maybe I did. But so what?" she questioned.

"Well… if you called me 'my love' it would mean that I'd have to do this." He smiled as he swiftly yet gently pinned Indira down to the couch and started kissing her passionately.

At first she was completely shocked by the kiss, but when Jason slowly licked at her lips, she granted him access to her mouth and she hummed in pleasure.

Jason had never kissed her like this before.

Jason held his hands up to cup her cheeks, and Indira ran her hands through Jason's hair kissing him back.

"Now start stripping!" the two broke away from their kiss, and Josh was standing in the door way with a smile on his face.

"Josh!" Indira exclaimed as she shot the boy a glare.

"Aw c'mon! Don't stop!" Josh pouted, but then smirked. "Unless, you want me to join, cuz if so, let's get this party started!" he exclaimed as he started to loosen the belt on his pants.

Jason wrapped a possessive arm around Indira while giving Josh a glare that Bruce would have been proud of.

"No, Josh." he growled, and Josh sighed, but took his belt off anyway just to loosen his pants for comfort.

"Yeesh. You two are no fun." He grunted and collapsed next to them on the couch.

"Have you found a job yet?" Jason questioned, and Josh let out an exasperated sigh.

"No. Yeesh I wish they'd give me a chance after I told them that I dropped out of high school." He grumbled. "Stupid education."

Jason sighed while Indira face palmed.

Josh would be staying at her house for a long time.
