Complicated Love
Chapter 8: Morning Afterwards
Jason sat up on the couch. After having had a long and sleepless night of his constant past. The past that included her and the pain that followed with the knowledge of her. Pain and emotion that he would not let interfere with his future. He made a mistake letting her control his life for so long. But now he had become stronger and he would need to be to do what he had to do to win the heart of Chloe. He knew he wanted her and after the conversation with her daughter yesterday, he had more of a determination to have her. Moving past the contents of her luscious body, her beautiful mind, he wanted to be the bearer of her heart as she could be with his.
Yet with all put aside, something kept nagging at him. The thought of what was said by her daughter still unnerved him and scared him to the core. He couldn't believe some of the things she said, she witnessed, or been apart of. How could he, but then again it had explained a lot. Remembering what Sarah said took Jason back to yesterday at the daycare and his time spent speaking with the girl.
(Flashback)
After the talk with the whole class about what Jason's job was all about, he began to walk back to where Sarah sat combing a dolls hair. The doll's hair was so badly mangled and she was having quite a bit of a difficult time getting a comb to go straight through it. Getting constantly snagged up in the middle of making a smooth completion to the dolls tip.
"Hey Sarah!" Jason said coming to the child and grabbing a little people's chair he would somehow manage to sit on. Grunting and sighing heavily he finally got seated as comfortable as he would. His butt might have been a big cushion but it sure had difficulty with seating.
Sarah looked up to the man and smiled at him. Watching him manage to sit himself down caused her to laugh uncontrollably at how reluctant he was on giving up. He could of just settled on placing his bottom on the floor but he didn't seem the one to just settle on things if he started something. "Hi Officer Welles."
"You can just call me Jason, Sarah. After all I don't address you Ms…" he droned out for her to finish the statement. In hopes he would find out the last name of her father.
"It's the same as my mothers, Lane. But I see what you are saying Mr. … I mean Jason.. But I was taught to address adults by last name. Mommy says its respect" she smiled to him.
Nodding his head he looked at her and thought of a way to get answers out of her. He felt bad for trying to question the girl in the first place but it seemed only appropriate if he wanted to pursue Chloe Lane and in order to do so, he needed answers. Still he didn't want to become to personal or cause the little girl any inconvenience at the same time. Opening his mouth to start something he was quickly hushed by the movement of the girl's lip and the words that flew out her small pink mouth.
"I have no father. It's just me, mommy, and him. But he doesn't love her. He just hurts her. That's not love, right? You don't hurt people you love, right Jason? Nor do you see mean things or keep away from people they love. Mommy is always crying at night sometimes and he is always doing magic on her…" she said with a tear escaping from her eye. Gliding slowly down her cheek and coming to the end of its rope as it splattered onto the doll's blond head of hair that still lay tangled with the comb in it. Sarah left the comb unoccupied as she wiped any spread of further tears from her eyes.
Not wanting to question what she meant by her words since Jason had some idea he spoke softly and asked, "What do you mean, Sarah? What type of magic?" Leaning down to her and looking into her teary red eyes. His face fell at the saddened expression written all over her face. From the silent whimper of her mouth. The tremble with the rapid movement of her eye. And the constant sniffle of her nose. He saw it all. So in return he fought his hardest not to cry. He wanted to be strong for whatever she might have to say. But reaching out and hold her would not hurt. So he embraced her in a loving hug and shushed her river of tears to a slow stream and said, "I'm here now. Don't worry. Just tell me, Sarah and I'll try my best to help. I'll protect you."
"Mommy too?" she said lowly.
"And her too" Jason said reassuringly. Once again he silenced to Sarah as she opened up to speak once again.
"The magic is suppose to be good. That's what I always thought. But the purple isn't pretty nor good. Every time I try to touch it mommy flinches. She'll go in the room with him and come out after all the yelling and noises with purple and blue marks. Then she'll get her makeup and take a bath like she's about to go out. But the purple will be gone. She call's it magic but it's never good. She is always wears pain when magic does happen. And he doesn't help, he pushes her around. Then there was this one time, I never told mommy about but she was there. She just couldn't move. And I cried, choked up when I came from my room and saw her lying in a pool of her own blood. I jumped on his back and hit him. He in return smacked me then through me onto the couch. She didn't see it, and I never said anything. I didn't want anymore magic that night. Magic, no" she let out looking to Jason for his reaction after having spent the whole time fumbling with her fingers and looking to them.
Jason's mouth hung open for a second but he couldn't allow her to see it as he quickly closed it. "No more magic from now on, I promise. I'll always be here for you mommy. I swear" he said kissing her forehead lightly. "No more"
(End of Flashback)
There was more talk but that had been the highlight of it all. From that talk Jason gained more he could ever. Thanks to Sarah he had been able to save Chloe last night as well. When all of a sudden a feeling of him being watched shook his body. Turning to the heated stare he smiled wildly and said, "Good morning my lady. Sleep well?"
Walking to him and taking a seat besides him on the couch she said, "Perfectly but" she stopped as he interrupted her.
"But it could have been better if I were in bed with you. I know, I know. Don't worry next time, I'll be sure to join you" he smiled to her devilishly.
Chloe laughed to his face and said, "Ha. Right Welles, Jason Welles (mocking him from last night). I was saying but I missed my daughter. But if you want to play this game well two can."
"You know, I have always wondered how 3 could too. See I know this one (and looking to her he smiled at her un-amused look). Okay, I'm just kidding. I'd rather just have you all to myself" Jason concluded. He moved closer to her and breathed down her neck then moved back up to her ear and seductively whispered, "But only when I think your ready."
Chloe stared blankly and watched him draw back. Her heart was racing and her senses were running wildly with passion. Why had he just done that? Controlling herself she made a promise to herself. After she checked in with Sarah and made sure she got to school, she would pay Jason a visit. 'Let the games begin,' Chloe thought wickedly waving to Jason and blowing a kiss to him as she got up from the couch. Beginning to walk back to his room, her back was facing him she pulled off her shirt. And feeling his eyes watching she unhooked her bra and used her one arm to cover her exposed flesh. Using her other arm to throw the bra to his face she said, "I think I am going to need some extra clothes. I think I'll just a burrow a few of yours if you don't mind." Turning to him and still covering herself she asked innocently, "You don't, do you?"
Jason wide-eyed just simple shook no and watched her smile then walk off. 'Okay I'm definitely NOT going to win this round' he thought as he quickly turned on the tube to calm the sudden rush of blood flow to his southern body parts.
