Yay! Three chapters in three days. I planned on waiting longer to post this but then I got a review, so I decided to just go for it. BTW, Claire, you are sooooo my new best friend. Keep reading and reviewing (that goes for everyone. That's right, all one of you). Soooo, here's the next chapter...
Chapter 3- Unexplainable Feelings
She didn't know why she had come. And now, here she was, standing on the docks like an idiot. She was waiting for a guy, something she had promised herself a long time ago she would never do. She wasn't one of those helpless bimbos who based her life on guys. She wasn't a tomboy either, she had a passion for shoes and makeup, but she didn't feel the need to dumb herself up either. She really shouldn't be waiting for him. Especially because she was married. This was crazy. She decided instead to just walk away. Leave before she became invested. But it wouldn't happen that way.
"I'm glad you came" he said.
"I don't know what I'm doing here" she said
"That's ok. I'm just glad you're here" he said.
"I need to say goodbye. I can't see you anymore. I need to go home to my husband"
"Please, give me chance Serena"
"I can't do this. I need to respect the sanctity of marriage. Think of me as a killer with morals"
"I didn't know people like that existed"
"I'm one of a kind"
"I can't let you do this to yourself Serena"
"Do what?"
"Hurt yourself. You obviously want to be with me, or you wouldn't have come down. You would have let your absence speak for itself."
"You don't know anything about me"
"Then let me learn. Please"
"You want to know about me Jason? Well here it goes. I am married to your enemy. My last name, my husband's name? It's Sandoval! I was sent to kill you for my husband's family! For my family!"
"Serena, none of this matters to me. Because the point is you didn't kill me"
"How was I supposed to! I suddenly had all of these unexplainable feelings for you!" she said as she started crying. So much for not crying in front of him.
He wanted to hug her tight. He wanted to kiss her, and wipe away her tears. But he was afraid of what she would do if he got close. He decided to risk it, and he hugged her. She didn't pull back. Instead, she allowed him to hold her and she sobbed into his chest.
"I'm so confused" she said. "I don't know what to do"
"Give me a chance" he said, taking her hands. "Give me a chance to prove to you that you and I are meant to be together"
"I can't. That would be adultery. Plus, if Adriano found out, he would have your head"
"Let 'em take it" said Jason. "As long as you're the one who has my heart"
'Wow, that was a great line' thought Serena as she felt her knees give a little
She gave in to passion, and she started kissing him. She felt his hot breath on her neck as he planted kisses all over her. Her arms were wrapped around his neck, and his hands were on his back, holding her up as she arched backwards. Her hair was falling down her back on to his hands, and as she moved her head, her hair swayed, the silky feeling brushing against his hands.
For the next two weeks, the two snuck around, maintaining their secret relationship. Serena felt guilty about cheating on Adriano. He was always so concerned about her when she came home late, fearing she had gotten into trouble, or that someone had hurt her. Serena was desperate to stop her relationship with Jason. But she couldn't do it. Something was holding her back. And that something was love. In the short two weeks that they had been together, Serena had fallen in love with Jason. It was a more passionate love then the one she felt for Adrian. This was all in spite of the fact that she and Jason had yet to sleep together. She didn't even know if he loved her. They had never said those fateful words to each other. She had almost said it to him that time at the docks, but she had caught herself. If she admitted that she loved him, or if he admitted that he loved her, it would make it real. And real was dangerous. Very dangerous.
Jason had fallen asleep on the couch. He had gotten back so late last night from working, that he hadn't even had the energy to move. He was having the most incredible dream about Serena, but he soon saw it all slipping away as he woke up. He wanted to fall back asleep and finish the dream, but once he was awake, he was awake. He slowly opened his eyes and saw two other eyes standing over him, watching him.
"Jesus Carly!" he yelled. "You can't just be here when I wake up. It's weird"
"I'm sorry, but I needed to talk to you. And I was about to wake you up, but then I noticed you were smiling. And your eyes were fluttering. Which means you were dreaming. And I'm guessing it was a good dream. Possibly about your secret girlfriend?"
"I don't have a secret girlfriend" said Jason. Technically, it was true. Serena wasn't his girlfriend; she was just this girl he was seeing. They had yet to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Sure. Then explain the late night rendezvous. How bout the smell of women's perfume on your clothes"
"Have you been looking through my laundry again?"
"I lost my ATM card again and I needed 20 bucks, there's no harm in borrowing from a friend. I was just looking for some forgotten cash"
"Sure" he said as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Carly had a way of bringing on a migrane.
"So, who is it? Oh my god! It's Courtney, isn't it?" cried Carly
"Carly, Courtney is getting married. And we're over. Believe me" said Jason. The truth was he hadn't thought about Courtney since he met Serena. He felt more for her than he ever felt for Courtney. He never thought that was possible. But Serena understood the business side of everything. She, like him, was responsible for killing people. She knew exactly what was going through his head all the time. He loved that about her. He loved everything about her.
"So, then who is it?" pressed Carly
"Carly, don't interfere with my life, please. Just accept the fact that I'm alone. I have" said Jason.
"Jason, you're a catch. Just let some girls go fishing"
"Carly, no. No fishing, no anything. Don't you dare try to set me up with anyone. Just leave it alone" said Jason
"Fine, I'll forget about this conversation. But just for now" said Carly. "Now, here's what I really came over about. Morgan got this new toy, but there are all these complicated directions to set it up and…"
Jason let her keep talking. He decided the best way to deal with Carly was just to tune her out then do what she asked. It was no big deal helping Morgan. He could think about Serena the entire time.
Serena sat on the tree stump, waiting for Jason to come. She was at their secret meeting spot on the cliff, overlooking the town. They had been meeting here for the past few weeks. Serena shivered and wrapped her arms around her body. She usually wouldn't bring a coat just so Jason would wrap his leather jacket around her. She loved that jacket, if only because it smelled of him. He usually also brought a blanket for the two of them to wrap themselves up in and gaze at the stars. They would talk, and kiss, and just hold one another. It was so hard though, saying goodbye. Then, Serena would have to go home to her husband. She still loved Adrian, and she felt terrible cheating on him. But she did what she had to. And she had to be with Jason. Jason made her happy, Jason made her whole. If only things would just work out.
She soon heard the roar of a motorcycle engine, and Jason appeared. Sure enough, he had a blanket in his hands.
"Hey" he said as he bent down to kiss her.
"Hi" she said, once they pulled away.
"You bring the wine?" he asked her.
"Of course" she said holding up the bottle next to her
"Perfect" he said. "What about glasses?"
Her face fell and she said "no, that would have been the intelligent thing to do. I am so sorry. I'm an idiot"
"Yes, well you're my idiot" he said with a smile
"Hey" she said, giving him a light slap to the chest. "The correct thing to say was 'no Serena, of course you're not an idiot'".
"I'm just kidding. You are smart. And beautiful. And the most incredible woman I have ever known" he said planting kisses on her neck in between each compliment. "It doesn't matter about the glasses. We can just drink out of the bottle"
"It is the classy thing to do" joked Serena.
Jason sat down next to her, wrapping them in the blanket. The two began to drink the wine, and talk, and kiss, and star gaze. But there was something magical that night. Maybe it had to do with the full moon. But something happened. Jason had just made a very cheesy comment, and Serena was cracking up at him. As he watched her laugh, he knew that she was the only girl for him. He knew they were meant to be. And he knew that he had to tell her the truth.
"What?" she asked as she stopped laughing and noticed that he was staring at her kind of funny.
"It's nothing" he said. "It's just- I know we haven't been together all that long, but, the thing is. I-I-"
"What, what is it Jason?" she asked, her face filled with concern.
"Serena, I love you" he said
She jumped up at this point, and started mumbling about how she needed to go. This wasn't supposed to happen.
"Serena, please don't go" he begged. "Please, talk to me. Tell me what's wrong"
"What's wrong? What's wrong! Jason, I am married. The only man who is supposed to love me is my husband"
"Well I'm sorry Serena, but I can't deny my feelings anymore"
"No, it's not you. It's me"
"Please don't tell me your breaking up with me with a line like that!" said Jason
"No you idiot! I'm telling you that I love you too!" she cried
Neither said another word as they ran to each other and started kissing. She wrapped her legs around him and he lifted her up. The kissing got more intense, and she started lifting up his t-shirt. She pulled it over his head and threw it on to the ground. He put her down on the blanket and laid down next to her. He took off her top as well, sliding it up over her arms. She undid his jeans, as he did to her, and they both slipped out of their pants. Next, Jason undid the clasp of her bra, and he gently pulled it off her. She tugged down his boxer, and he made his way down to her thong.
That night, under the light of the moon and the stars, the two made love. Their bodies joined as one, and they wouldn't have it any other way. There was no denying their love anymore. After they were done, Jason held her naked body in his arms. She was perfect, and he couldn't help but plant little kisses all over her body. Serena had never felt this complete. She had never had such incredible sex. Yet here she was, with a man who was not her husband, outside nonetheless, wearing nothing, and covered in only a thin blanket. And she couldn't even think of her husband. She couldn't even remember his name.
