Jase Fields, J. (best time to read books TXT) 📖

and I held his a little tighter.

I got my ticket and we walked towards the security gate, “The line isn’t long,” Jase was making small talk.

“No, shouldn’t take long.”

“You have a little over an hour still.”

“I know,” I looked at him and those eyes pierced right through me.

“You would like her,” Jase looked away.

“Would she like me Jase? Or would she see me as,” I stopped and looked at him, “I’ve only had a little while to process this and of course it comes on the tail of me running away from home because of my Dad’s newest bimbo. Jase, Bella is beautiful and that picture… the way she looked at you Jase, she loves you. You have so many lost years to make up for. I won’t be the one to confuse that.”

“You going back to Brad?” Jase rolled his eyes.

“I am going to tell him that I sucked face with my Jersey boy,” I shoved him lightly with my hip.

“Your Jersey boy. What the hell does that mean?” He was pissed and it made me laugh.

“It’s an east coast west coast thang, yo.”

He scowled at me and then shook his head and tried not to laugh, “You really should not even try to talk like that.”

“That bad huh?”

“Yeah,” he smiled.

“Yes, I’m going to tell Brad. It’s the right thing to do.”

“That’s it? That’s the right thing to do.”

“I am not a cheater, remember?”

“Yeah, I remember.” We stood silently for a few minutes, “So if he forgives you, then what?”

“Doesn’t matter. Apparently my feelings for him aren’t that strong. If …well,” I felt my face turn red.

“You have a lot of classes with him this semester?”

“Two, and the research project still if Professor Higgins receives the grant he applied for,” I looked at Jase and he was grinning, “What?”

“Research project. Professor Higgins. My girl is a nerd,” Jase smiled, dimple winked.

“Your girl would not take kindly to being called a nerd, and who said she was yours?”

“The nerd thing is a turn on, short little plaid skirt, pig tails, glasses resting on your nose,” Jase closed his eyes tightly and smiled, “And my girl, meaning you Baby, because I said so.”

“Because I said so?” I crossed my arms.

“Fine because you said so, glad that’s all hashed out.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Well it works for me, so I’m going with it.” Jase put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me against him, “You won’t stay?”

“I can’t, I’m trying to prove a point here, Jase. It really has nothing to do with you-- now anyways, maybe a little before,” this whole thing was overwhelming to say the least.

“You have almost an hour Carly, let’s go sit and talk.”

He didn’t wait for an answer, he just grabbed my hand and pulled me out of line and walked to the nearest bench and sat.

“Look-- I thought you would run if you thought I had abandoned a child, but I was prepared to tell you everything after being with you that first night at the hotel. And just so you know, that’s why things didn’t go any further than that night. I needed you to know first. Then the phone call, and well… I had to make a choice. I chose to build a relationship with my daughter,” he looked away for a moment.

“If you had just told me…”

“I know that now. Baby, let me just finish,” he was getting frustrated.

“You better get used to interruption there buddy… we girls do that, you know,” I smiled.

“I get that now…”

“And you will for the rest of your life.”

He squinted those beautiful chocolate eyes at me, “You trying to prove a point here?”

“I am. Is it working?” I laughed.

“Yes… now will you shut up for,” I kissed him and sat back and smiled, “That was very,” I kissed him again and he laughed.

“Now I proved two points,” he smiled at me.

“And what would that be?”

“Girls interrupt is the first one of course.”

“Of course,” he smiled bigger, “And what was the second?”

“I like the Jersey boy a lot. Right now he’s on the wrong coast, and has something way more important that needs his attention. I have school and…”

“Brad, you have Brad.” The way Jase said his name made me laugh.

“No I think I pretty much messed that up.”

“You okay with that?”

“Depends,” I shrugged.

“On what?”

“Well was it worth it? I mean can the Jersey boy carry on a long distance relationship? Can his focus be on his beautiful Bella? Can he really be…?” Jase kissed me, and it was nice. He held the back of my head gently and his lips covered mine and when I opened my mouth he rubbed that hard steel slowly up and down my tongue.

Lost in his kiss, and seriously not remembering where I was… I kind of sat on his lap. He groaned into my mouth and pulled back, “Baby, PDA?”

“Oh, oh shit,” I hoped off his lap and he laughed. I looked around and the elderly lady was smiling at me, so I grinned back and Jase laughed.

“You won’t stay?” he rubbed my hand.

“I can’t. I have a point to prove, Jase. As much as that point seems moot and insignificant now, I have to. Not just for me but for this guy I’m digging, and for beautiful little Bella. They need time.”

His phone rang and he didn’t even look at it. I quickly directed him, “Umm hey Daddy? What if that’s your girl? You can’t ignore calls like that.”

I reached into his pocket and well I felt him, “Wrong pocket, Baby,” he hissed.

I left my hand right there and played a bit and reached my other hand in his other pocket. It was Zandor.

I didn’t have time to say anything, “Did you nail it or what man? Come on we have dealt with your bullshit for two months now, spill it.”

“Well, we just finished and until we were so rudely interrupted we were working on Prince Albert’s introduction to the can,” Jase’s mouth gapped and he chuckled.

Zandor didn’t
