Chapter 28
**** JASON P. O. V ****
When I left the clubhouse, I felt hurt and left out. If she had just told me she was sorry, I would feel better.
Well, I didn’t even say anything sensible; I just kept barking like a dog. I got out of the house and walked to the car.
I sat in the driver’s seat and waited for Ryan to finish talking to his own chick so we could get out of here. Even though I took Melina’s happiness away, I can’t stand to see her so happy with Harrison.
If she doesn’t forgive me or doesn’t talk to me again, it’s all my fault.
I put on my sunglasses and put my head on the headrest of the seat.
“Emerson, Jason.” The hot girls who called were smiling big, but I only gave them a small smile.
Didn’t feel like any of them. No, not now that I know Gracie is inside and I can’t even smell her.
When I looked again at the clubhouse, I was surprised to see Melina walking out of the club. She looked around as if she had lost something.
I got out of the car quickly and ran over to where she was standing. I just hope what I’m thinking isn’t true.
“Melina are you okay?” I asked, and she gave me a look.
“Ah, yes, I’m fine.” She spoke.
“What are you doing? Harrison did not stay with you?” When I asked, she shook her head no.
“In no way. He’s already in the house.” She said and I nodded.
“Then, why are you out here? Have you misplaced something? I could show you where it is.” She shook her head when I said it.
“I am good Jason.” She said looking away.
“Okay. I’m sorry, but I have to go. Bye.” I said I was going back, but to my great surprise, she stopped me. I didn’t know when my mouth started to smile.
I turned around to look at her hand because it looked so pretty in mine. When she saw that I was looking at her hand on mine, she pulled it off with a hard swallow.
“I came out here to talk to you, in fact.” She said that, and I was the happiest person on the planet.
“Really? Did you want to find me?” When I asked her, she sighed.
“I’m here to tell you that I’m sorry. I understand that you feel bad.” She said, and I was happy to laugh.
“Many thanks. Does that mean you’re not going anywhere?” I was eager to know.
“Even though I’ve forgiven you, Jason, that doesn’t mean I want to be with you. Think of me as the same as the other maids.” She spoke.
“I’m trying, but I just can’t do it. You are very different from them. I’ve tried to think of you as one of them so I can forget about you, but it’s just too hard. I can’t.” I said staring at her.
Her eyes were on mine for a few seconds, and then all of a sudden she looked away.
“Jason, I’m sorry. I’m leaving with Harrison, so this is a farewell.” She said this with her head bowed, and I stepped back and nodded.
“I understand. I 100% agree.” I said I was trying to laugh.
“Tomorrow, if you’re interested, there will be a burial service. You can come.” She said looking at me.
“Why do you want me to come?” I asked her, and she gave me a shrug.
“So we won’t say our goodbyes in front of a clubhouse. at least a good place. You are still welcome.” She said something, and she was about to answer when Harrison spoke up.
“You’re not welcome.” We looked at him when he said it.
“Harrison is.” He kept his eyes on me while she called.
“I don’t want you anywhere near me, Gracie, or Nina. So, you’re not invited, and I’d rather not see you again.” I sighed when he said it.
“Harrison, I’ve forgiven him, is that all right? Try to be kind.” She said looking at him.
“That doesn’t make a difference.” He replied looking at me.
“It does. I am going to say my goodbyes. We’ll never see each other again, so why can’t we just go our separate ways?” She asked, and when I heard that, it hurt me.
“Harrison is right, though. Nina doesn’t like me, so I shouldn’t be there. It’s better to say goodbye here, and since it’s just the two of us, there’s no need for an event.” She looked at me when I said it.
“Harrison, could you wait a minute?” She asked while looking at him, which made me wonder why she asked. He stopped, looked at me, and then walked into the clubhouse.
“I’m sorry for what he did. I needed him to leave because he kept getting angry and cutting us off.” I smiled when she said it.
“I understand him. He looks out for me, which I love about him. If I were him, I would do the same thing.” I said, and she gave me a small smile.
“Well, I guess this is the last time I see you,” she said. She said and I nodded.
“I guess so.” I said, “Put your hands in your pockets.” We couldn’t say anything, so we just kept staring at each other.
I got closer to her, and she looked at my face the whole time.
“Can we at least say goodbye properly?” As I got closer and closer to her, I whispered, and when I was right in front of her, she took deep breaths.
She bowed her head, and I lifted it up and looked at her lips with my hand. I knew I shouldn’t kiss her because I don’t kiss, but I couldn’t help it.
Even if it’s a goodbye kiss, I think my first kiss with her would be great.
“You don’t do kisses.” She said that when she saw me looking at her lips.
“Because of you, I broke the rules.” I told her, and I saw that she closed her eyes. I slowly brought my lips to hers, and then…
“Are you insane!” Harrison yelled and tried to push me away. I was so mad at what he had just done that I wanted to punch him in the face. We were having a moment, for crying out loud.
“Harrison, why did you have to stop them?” Ryan asked with a sneer.
“Ryan? When did you get here? “I asked.
“Since a while. When you two looked so cute together.” He said this while making a dog face.
“And then this fool showed up to ruin everything.” He added angrily.
“Don’t get close to Melina at any time.” He said this as he walked toward me in a huff, but she stopped him.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Harrison, please. He didn’t hurt me or force me.” She spoke quietly.
“How come I should believe you? You always keep him safe.” I wrinkled my brows at what he said.
“I want you to believe me, so you should. He didn’t make me do it.” She said it, and my face was full of feelings as I looked at her.
He looked at her and asked, “What?”
“I do know. And it was wrong, right? I couldn’t think clearly.” She said it, and I felt like a spear had been driven through my heart.
“A mistake?” I asked, but she didn’t look at me.
“Leave me alone, Harrison.” He agreed with what she said. One more time, he gave me a dangerous look and then walked away with Gracie.
I watched as both of them walked away. I have been alive for 26 years, and I have never felt this hurt before.
“Come on little brother, let’s go.” I looked at Ryan when he said that.
“Ryan She just said that moment was a mistake, so she must feel bad about it, Ryan.” I said.
“Just because she says so doesn’t mean she means it.” I shook my head when he said that.
“No Ryan. For her, I broke every rule I had. I almost kissed her, which is something I’ve never done before, and all she could say was that it was a mistake? Before Harrison?” With tears in my eyes, I asked. I felt it burning inside me.
“It wasn’t an accident, all right? No, not for you.” I shook my head when he said that.
“No. I made the same mistake.” I said to give him the keys to the car.
“I’m not good at driving.” I said that we’d walk to the car.
“Well I can drive.” He said grinning.
**** NINA P. O. V ****
Things were going well with the preparations, and everything was going according to plan. Harrison had to wait, and Melina did, too.
Time for a little revenge.
I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed a number.
# Hey
# Hey Gift. I have work for you to do.
# Okay??
# Melina Powell has to do it. The woman who caused my mother’s death.
# Oh.
# She was going to be at the funeral tomorrow. I need her to be dead.
# Why? You should be going after Jason Emerson, right? He is to blame the most. By coming out, she tried to save your mother.
# Shut up Gift. I want her dead for more than one reason. From my life and Harrison’s.
# What should I do?
# It’s quiet simple. You take her hostage, and when I show up, I’ll kill her.
# Won’t you get in trouble?
# Of course not, it’s the funeral for my mother. The last person they would think of is me. Jason would be the first person that everyone would think of. People call that “sweet revenge.”
# You are really smart.
# I’d send you the address by text. I need a job that’s just right.
# I can be counted on.
I hung up and drank the rest of my drink with a wicked grin on my face.
“You can’t kill my mother and take away my son at the same time. I won’t let you.” I thought that was a bad smrik.
