245 Friend Zoned
Jason was wearing a black suit, he followed Hailey around guarding her and at the same time carried out a back ground check on Tyler Erickson. He's good at flirting and he made her laugh and smile. She was flushing at his compliment. Okay, the man is good looking and...rich.
Jason remain an incognito and even wore a night vision glasses. He can see that Hailey doesn't feel comfortable, probably because of her cramps and since he's always ready, he called her assistant and told her to prepare a mug of hot water. Then he took out a pack of tea from his pocket.
Once her assistant gave her the tray with mug, he put the tea in it and then watch as Tyler offer her a champagne. She only took it and didn't sip it. Tyler eyed it and was calm but he notice how his eyes was eager to make her drink it. He was curious on what Tyler put there and on why Gabriel wanted his background to be checked.
Jason went to them and he nodded.
"Lady Lawson, your drink." He said in very formal way. Hailey was surprised and then she smiles. Jason was good at acting. He took the champagne flute from her hand.
"Oh, sorry." She said."Tyler, this is Jason my personal butler and body guard.". Tyler smile and greet him. Jason nods. Jason turn back. He secretly left and then pour it on a phial. If its positive that the wine was drugged then he has to send it to Samantha.
He peeked on Tyler as he made her laughed, he even touch her. He frowned and clenches his fist. It's not just that. Tyler even place a hand on her waist, and she doesn't care about it.
She then excuse her self and he followed her to the women's bathroom. Jason took out a small bag of her emergency kit only for women. She thank him and went inside. He look back and forth and went back there. Tyler was nowhere to be found. Hailey... He went back to the bathroom and paces back and forth then he call her. He can hear her phone ringing inside the bathroom then he wait for her answer.
"What?" Hailey asked from the other line
"Just checking if you are there." He said and look at the direction of the lobby. He just saw someone peeking on them.
"I am here. It will take me few more minutes to settle. Damn it. This cramp is killing me."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
Jason hang up and walk closer to it. But he stop and glance at the CCTV camera on the hall way. He's sure that he can get a copy of it. After few moments, the door opens and she come out fresh yet she look pale.
"We can leave now."
"Yeah, I don't feel good." Hailey said.
Jason hold her hands as he escorts her outside without letting her see others. He contact the manager of the building and show his ID. Then he said that he want a copy of the footage giving them an exact time.
He drives the car back to the hotel and she lean on the seat.
"I haven't seen Mark anywhere." She said.
"He's on a mission. Seducing cupid." He mutter.
"What?" She asked. He patted her head.
"You little... should not stick your nose on other's business."
"I am not. I am just stating that I haven't seen Mark anywhere."
She turned on the radio and both are quiet. She closed her eyes and massage her forehead.
"See I can't wake up, I'm living a night mare...
That keeps playing over again...
Locked in a room, so hung up on you
And you're cool with just being friends
Left on the sidelines
Stuck at the red line... waiting for my time and I can't see"
He glanced at her. Her eyes are closed. The song did suit them. He had this feeling, he never had with anyone before. He like her. He wants to make love to her all day long. He want her so much and he's eager to do everything—anything at all.
"Why don't you love me? Touch me, tell I'm your everything the air you breathe
And Why don't you love me baby... open up your heart tonight 'cause I could be all that you need
Ohhh, why don't you love me? Why don't you love?"
The song was singing by Hot Chelle Rae and Demi Lovato why don't you love me? Could this be their theme song?
The hotel was just nearby, and he park the car. She unbuckles the seat belt and he did too. Jason's heart was pumping, and his adrenaline rises as he hauls on her, kiss her, capture her mouth and touch her body. He just can't control himself with her anymore.
"Dummy..." she mutters. Jason scoop her face and kiss her more. She close her eyes and kiss him back with the same passion.
"I am your Dummy." He murmur and kiss her passionately not until someone knock on the car and Jason's eyes was piercing. A man was standing just by the driver's seat. He peek and observe first. He kisses her lips trying to ignore it but the man knocks again. When he look to see who it is, he was guilty. He stepped out and face Tequila.
"Your lips are swollen." Tequila winks. He peek inside and found Hailey."Oh..." He was so surprised."Did you just—kiss your best friend?"
"Shut up." He closes the door put his hands in his pocket and reach the small bottle.
"So—you guys are together?" He asked and lean on the car as he crossed his arms and his ankle. He punched him and slid the bottle into his pocket.
Hailey came out from the car and took her things. Tequila smiled at her and wave.
"Hi, Hail. What's up?"
"Albert." She smiled."Jason and I are fucking but that's it." She said clearly and left.
Albert hold his chest like he was the one that got hurt with her words.
"Oww!" Albert said dramatically mocking Jason."My heart. Dude, you are in a friend zone."
"It's fine... as long as am the one that she's [email protected], not anyone else." Jason turn back from him after taking the keys and locking the car.
"Hey!" Albert calls him. Jason turn around."I already proposed to Sam. We are getting married. The wedding will be held soon. You should be there with Mark. You are my brothers, okay?"
Jason smiled and make their secret brother's hand shake.
"Congrats, bro."
"Yeah—we are planning to adopt but Sam and I are too busy for a while."
"Maybe there is a chance for Sam to get pregnant." He told him. Albert was hoping. If Samantha get pregnant then she will be over the moon.
