Chapter 10- Public Displays of Affection
"So, what do you think?" asked Kemen, showing off his new apartment to everyone.
Serena had been helping him decorate for the past few weeks, and now it was done. Kemen had not had a say in anything, Serena picked all of the colors and furniture. So, it had actually come out pretty nice.
After Serena and Carly had returned from the city, Kemen had announced that he was moving out. It was time for him to leave Jason and Serena alone. Although Serena would miss her brother, she also thought it was extremely nice to have some private time with Jason. Ever since she told him about her father, they had been even closer. When she and Carly returned from the city, Kemen had left them alone for the night. Jason ordered in dinner, and set up a candlelit table on the balcony. He had even agreed to dance with her. As they danced, she felt him trace the scars on her back. He had gently lifted her shirt up and kissed each scar, letting his soft lips linger on her skin. It was as if those kisses had taken away years of pain. He made her feel better. It was that night when she realized just how much Jason truly meant to her. She would be lost without him. She loved him, but it was even more than love. It was something indescribable. And he felt the same way. Serena was his life, his heart, and his soul. He didn't care what happened to himself, as long as she was safe and happy.
Since Sonny and Serena were the only two people who actually knew how to cook, they made dinner that night for everyone in Kemen's new apartment. Sonny and Serena had become as close as brother and sister, and Sonny picked up the habit of calling her his "baby sister", much to the dismay of Courtney. Although her relationship with Sonny was being mended, it still wasn't perfect. Truthfully, Courtney was a little jealous of Serena. But Courtney had Jax now, and in fact, the two had eloped only the week before.
It was after midnight by the time anyone looked at the clock. Michael and Morgan had long since fallen asleep. Jason carried Michael out and Sonny carried Morgan out after saying goodnight to Kemen. After they arrived back at the Harborview Towers and Jason put Michael into bed, he went across the hall to where Serena was waiting for him. He found her staring out the window. He wrapped his arms around her waist and planted kisses on her temple. The two just stood there, with Jason holding Serena, for the longest time. Neither said anything. They only thought about how much they loved to just be near one another. They both loved to suck in the other's scent, touch, and love. They were happy. Very happy.
Jason let a yawn escape, despite his attempt to suppress it. Serena smiled. She was a night owl. She loved to stay up until the early hours of the morning. She slipped her hand into Jason's hand that was lying on her stomach, and turned around to face him.
"Go to sleep" she said, her mouth teasingly near his.
"Only if you come to bed with me" he said, running his hand that wasn't holding hers through her silky brown hair.
"Jasonnnn" she whined
"I know, I know. You're not tired. But I can't sleep without you in my arms"
"Alright, well that I buy" said Serena with a smile as she pressed her lips to his, purposely keeping them closed, denying his tongue access to her mouth. She loved to tease him. She pulled back, opening her mouth at last second to gently bite his bottom lip, slightly pulling it along with her. "Bedtime" she said, leading him up the stairs.
He watched her walk up, her hips swaying. He playfully slapped her butt and she giggled a little. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back down the stairs.
"You know what?" he said, a twinkle in his eye
"What?" she asked, getting the same twinkle
"Kemen no longer lives here"
"No shit Sherlock" she said with a roll of her eyes
He gave her a sarcastic smile and said "well, that means we can have sex anywhere".
"I'm a lady, we don't have sex. We make love" she said matter-of-factually
"Whatever" he said pulling her down to the living room floor as she shrieked in delight.
The two "made love" on the living room floor before moving to the kitchen, the downstairs bathroom, and eventually, the pool table. That was where they ended up falling asleep.
Sonny walked into Jason and Serena's penthouse without even knocking. He was clearly distraught. He was about to yell up the stairs for them, when he noticed the sleeping figures on the pool table, covered only by a thin blanket.
"Ahem" he said, walking over to them.
They both awoke with a start. Once they realized the situation at hand, they became very embarrassed. Sonny turned around, and threw them their clothes. When he turned back around, Jason had on his jeans from the night before, and Serena had on Jason's black t-shirt.
"How can we help you Sonny" said Jason, one arm protectively around Serena.
"There's been an accident" said Sonny
"What kind of 'accident'?" asked Serena skeptically
"An explosion at one of the warehouses. Some sort of bomb was set up"
"Which warehouse?" asked Jason
"Number 3" said Sonny
"Alright, let's go check it out" said Serena. Sonny motioned to the door, prompting Serena to ask "mind if we put on a little more clothes?"
"Right, no go ahead. I'll meet you down there in an hour" said Sonny, his face turning reddish.
"Goodbye Sonny" said Jason
"Bye" said Sonny as he walked out, still not looking at Serena in the eye.
"That wasn't awkward at all" said Serena once he left.
"Yeah, I guess it wasn't such a good idea for Sonny to start thinking of you as a little sister"
"I guess not. Anyway, we should go get showered and dressed. You know what we should do?" she asked
"What's that?" asked Jason, putting both arms on her waist and looking into her deep brown eyes.
"We should shower together" she said seductively
"Oh really? I thought we were rushing to get out of here"
"We are, which is why a shower together is good. It'll get us out of here quickly. Cause we're only gonna shower. Nothing else. Besides, it's good for the environment. Save the… whales. Or something"
"I can do that for the whales" he said, kissing her. He picked her up and carried her up to the bathroom.
Needless to say, they did more than save the whales in that shower.
An hour and a half later, Jason and Serena arrived at the warehouse.
"You're late" said Sonny, looking down at his watch
"Its ok" said Serena "it's all Jason's fault"
"Hey" said Jason
"Hey yourself" she said as he reached over and started kissing her.
"Focus" said Sonny, yet his words had no impact on the young lovers. "FOCUS!" said Sonny, a little louder this time.
"Right, we're focused" said Serena as she giggled because Jason was now planting little kisses on the sensitive skin of her neck.
"Alright, enough of this" said Sonny, grabbing Jason by the arm and pulling him away from Serena. He pulled him a little roughly on to his other side. He let go, and Jason rubbed his arm.
"Come on" said Jason
"I'm sorry, but there's a limit to how much of this mushy stuff I can take" said Sonny
"Fine. I'm going to survey the damage" said Jason, walking away and toward the burnt down warehouse
"You know, he was never into the public displays of affection before you" said Sonny to Serena
All she could do was smile. Seeing her smile, Sonny couldn't help but smile as well.
"Let's go look at what happened" said Serena as she too walked toward the warehouse, the smile still plastered to her face.
"Is this the shell of the bomb?" asked Jason, pointing to it on the ground.
"Yeah" said Sonny. "Careful, it's still hot"
"Pass me those gloves" said Serena to Sonny as her eyes narrowed
"Here" he said, giving her the gloves.
Without removing her eyes from the bomb, she put them on. She ran her hand over the side of the shell, and her eyes widened.
"Oh my god" she said with a gasp.
A/N: There you all go, a cliff hanger. And I don't plan on telling you what Serena's oh my goding until I get some reviews! I am putting my foot down.
And, well you are all at it, read my other story Trust. It's Journey, it's on this site, and it's good (did that sound very conceited? Oh well) Thanks everyone!
