Chapter 100 : That night

After school, Isabella got home and the whole house was dark, she found her way to the switch and turned on the lights. She met Jason in the living room seated and she flinched from fright.

" What are you doing in the dark? " she said as she held her chest frighteningly.

" Are you ready to talk now " was the only thing Jason said to her.

" To talk about what? " She asked.

" Bella why are you acting strange, for the past one week you have been behaving like a different person " he said as he stood up.

" You are just overthinking this, there's nothing wrong with me," she said as she forced a laugh.

He pulled her into his arms and he noticed her unwillingness to get close to him. " How long will you keep lying, you don't like it when I touch you now "

She gave him a reassuring smile " I'm just sweaty, I want to go and take my shower now and stop letting your imaginations run wild " she said as she climbed upstairs.

" Bella, I will find out the truth soon, " he thought inwardly.

Back Upstairs

Isabella shut the door and closed her eyes as she placed her hand on her chest.

" Have I been acting really strange? " She asked no one in particular.

She recalled how she had been avoiding Jason for the past week, she doesn't let him take her or bring her back home from school, she always looks for an excuse to stay outside late and when she comes back she goes straight to sleep.

She felt quite bad as she recalled all the events, so she went into the bathroom to take a long shower.

Jason walked into the room to get his laptop and just then her phone began to ring. He was about to walk out of the room and suddenly he picked up her phone and it was an unknown number.

" Bella, you think you can get rid of me so easily right? Have been trying to make you understand but you don't want to. I will tell Jason what happened between us that night " Liam said over the phone.

Jason remained silent and just then Isabella came out of the bathroom and met him with her cellphone.

" What are you doing? " she quickly snatched the phone and hung up the call.

" Why did you do that? You don't trust me anymore, " Isabella said a little angrily.

Jason scoffed " trust? Is that even a word to you? " He asked sarcastically.

Her phone started to ring again and Jason quickly picked it up and put it on speaker mode.

" Isabella, you dare hang up on me, I would like to see if you will still have this ego when Jason finds out that we got intimate the other night. I'm sure he's going to kick you out of his life " he laughed sarcastically.

" You just shut up, " she threw the phone to the ground violently.

" Jason is not what you are thinking, you have to believe me " she said as she tried to hold him but he flung her hand away.

" What do you take me for? Bella do you know what I hate the most LIES " He yelled at her.

She flinched a little " Jason I… I didn't mean for all this to happen I…I wanted to tell you but I got scared " she stuttered.

" Bella, when did you become like this? You had sex with a stranger? " He said with a look of disgust.

" I wished it was a stranger, it's actually Liam, he spiked my drink and got his way with me" she palmed her face as she began to sob.

Jason stood there in shock as he remembered he had seen the both of them going upstairs. He should have noticed something wasn't right from the way she was walking that night.

" That bastard, " Jason said through gritted teeth.

He stomped off and Isabella called after him " Jason please you need to stay calm " she screamed, he ignored her and she heard the sound of the door.

She ruffled her hair frustratedly, she picked up her phone and called Chloe.

"Jason has finally found out the truth " she said as she sniffed.

" What was his reaction? " Chloe asked hurriedly.

" I don't know he just stomped out of the house " she said with a crushed voice.

" Just calm down Bella, everything will be fine. You need to have faith in the love you have for Jason, " Chloe said and she nodded.

Hours later, she kept checking her broken phone but didn't get any calls and messages from jason. She paced around the living room as she imagined the worst scenarios that might happen to their relationship.

" Why does all this have to happen to me, Jason and I have already been through alot " she said as she sat on the couch with her head lowered.

She tried to call Jason but he switched off his phone. She glanced at the time and it was already 12 in the morning. She kept crying till she finally fell asleep on the sofa.

The next morning, the loud horns of vehicles and the bed chirping woke her up from her sleep.

She stretched her body as she got up from the sofa, she looked at the wall clock and it was 10 in the morning.

Just then she heard a knock on the door and she quickly rushed to open up. " It must be Jason, " she mumbled.

She opened up and it was really him, she hugged him tightly " why did you leave me last night" she could perceive the smell of alcohol on him.

She let go of him and looked at him, she couldn't even tell what was going through his mind and she felt a little intimidated.

" Um, did you drink? " She asked in a soft tone.

He didn't reply and he only stared at her. Isabella itched her hair awkwardly, " Jason I'm really sorry I didn't want all this to happen to us, I know you are currently mad at me and I deserve it. I will accept any punishment you give me but please I don't want to live without you " she said nervously as she played with her fingers like a kid.

Jason suddenly pulled her into a warm hug,he cupped her cheeks and placed a kiss on her forehead " you don't have to say anything, you have already been through a lot what other punishment would I give to you huh " he pulled her cheeks.

Isabella's eyes turned watery as she pouted her lips " hey aren't you angry at me anymore " she said as she didn't expect this behaviour from him.

" It wasn't your fault, it was my duty to protect you but I failed to. I don't want you to go hard on yourself anymore, let's act like nothing of that has happened " He said and kissed her small lips.

" I love you " she whispered into his ear.

" I love you more, " Jason chuckled.

" You reek of alcohol, haven't I warned you to stop drinking" she pulled his ear.

" I'm sorry. Chris asked me to drink with him last night. He was kind of moody but I don't know why " Jason said casually.

" Chris has been acting off lately, I hope he's fine, " she mumbled.

" Let's go take a shower " he said and before Isabella could object he lifted her up.

Minutes Later, he carried her out of the bathroom in a bridal style, a towel tied around her chest, and her cheeks were all rosy from the steam.

She buried her face in Jason's chest. " Cupcake what are you doing? " He asked.

" Jason you are so bad and naughty " she said in a shy manner and he laughed.

He placed her on the bed and he began to kiss her all over her face. She stared at him with lust and he kissed her on her eyes " I love staring into your eyes, they are so pretty " he said against her ear as he stroked her damped black shiny hair.

She blushed scarlet " are you just finding them attractive? " She asked.

" Do you always have to ruin the moment, why can't you just be romantic for a minute " he pinched her nose.

Isabella laughed " I don't have to say love words rather I enjoy you saying them to me " she said.

" Oh really? " he said and he kissed her deeply.

She moaned in between his kisses, and he threw her towel off. He explored every part of her body. " Why are you so hot? " he nibbled on her earlobe.

She bit her lip and remained silent, while he trailed his kisses to her fair, smooth neck.

" Have always been looking forward to this day, I want to make you mine forever " he whispered into her ear.

" It's time, we consummate what we share " she sheepishly said.

She felt his warm big hand moving up to her thighs and she let out a faint sound as she shut her eyes.

At that moment his cell phone began to ring, he hesitantly looked at the caller ID " come on pick up " she said and he did.

" Brother, please come open the door, " she said in a hoarse voice.

" What's wrong with you? " He asked as he got up from the bed.

" Just come outside " Zoey said and hung up

Isabella watched him put on his shirt " what happened?" She asked.

" It's Zoey, she's outside " he said nonchalantly as he dressed up fully and went out.
