Chapter 14

Zara's POV.

"Zara, what are you still doing up there? Get down here now. Jason will be here any minute from now." My mum called from the kitchen. 

Lucy let out a chuckle beside me and she mumbled a few words about how dramatic my mum is.

She is dramatic okay. I still have like twenty minutes before Jason gets here and she has been screaming the whole house down since...like twenty minutes ago.

"Okay, all done." Lucy said wiping her hands on her jeans pant. 

I turned to face the mirror and I smiled at my reflection. I looked good. My makeup was not too heavy but it wasn't light either. My eyes looked brighter than they usually look and my lips looked even better and extremely kissable. Not exactly the look I was going for but it would have to do for now.

"Now the dress. I can't wait to see you in this dress." Lucy gushed.

I stood up from the chair and took my robe off and I put the dress on. I have tried the dress on before and I know just how hot I looked in it.

Lucy helped me with the zipper and she let out a gasp- her gasp was a little bit exaggerated if you ask me.

"You look so good Zara. I want one too." She said slowly circling me. 

"Are you sure this is not too much for dinner?" I asked her and she nodded eagerly.

"It is just perfect, definitely not too much. Jason will shit his pants when he sees you in this dress." She said.

I already told her about my short meeting with Jason, she didn't like the idea that I was not going to marry Jason with an open heart but she didn't argue with me.

Her words were "If you feel this is the best for you then go for it but I would have preferred if you give the both of you a chance." 

"You know that..."

"I know I know but he is a cold blooded man okay and of course the sight of a hot woman will surely do things to him." She said shrugging her shoulders.

I ignored her comment and grabbed my black heels. The straps of my heels stopped on my mid calf. I grabbed a small shoulder bag and I put my phone and other essentials inside. 

"I think I am good to go." I said taking a look at myself in the mirror again. 

"Yes, you are and..." 

"Zara, Jason is here already. What are you still doing up there?" My mum called again.

"Coming ma." I called back and then I wiped my sweaty palms on my gown. I don't understand why I was so nervous all of a sudden. It is just dinner with Jason and his grandma. 

No biggie.

"I want every details when you get back." Lucy said as we walked out of the room together.

"I am going for dinner with his grandma Lucy not to have sex with Jason." 

Not that that is a bad thing.

What the fuck was that Zara?

"Nobody is stopping you from having sex with him." Lucy said shrugging lightly.

"Just keep quiet Lucy. I will not be having sex with him, never." I told her frowning and she chuckled.

"Whatever you say best friend but I think you should have sex with him. It will be really good for you. Imagine having that hot stuff as your first." She said. 

"Will you stop talking about sex already? I am not going to have sex with him so please..." she interrupted me.

"Okay okay, sorry." She apologized laughing lightly.

"Better." I replied and we started walking down the stairs.

My breath hitched in my throat a bit at the sight of Jason. He looked so good in his suit and his hairstyle looked different. He had gelled it in such a way that made him look even hotter than I have ever seen him -if that was even possible.

How the fuck does he manage to get hotter every time.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Lucy whispered in my ear. 

I knew what she was thinking okay. We have been friends for such a long time that I could almost tell whatever it was she was thinking.

I sent her a meaningful glare and she sent me a sheepish smile back.

"Took you long enough. You kept the poor boy waiting." My Mum scolded.

"Sorry ma." I apologized to her and I avoided Jason's gaze.

I could feel his eyes on me and I tried really hard not to stare at him at all. 

"We will get going now ma." Jason said in that husky voice of his.

My skin prickled with awareness when I felt him beside me. 

"Shall we, Zara?" He asked holding his hand out for me. 

I smiled at my mum and took his hand. I was barely able to stop the shudder that shot up my spine.

Why the fuck was I reacting like this?

"You take care of my best friend Jason or you will have to face my wrath and I assure you that you won't like it." Lucy threatened. 

I choked on my laughter at her voice. I knew what she was doing okay. We used to mock all those girls that they best friends always threatened the other's boyfriend about not hurting her and all.

Lucy was always like "What the fuck will you do if he does break your best friend heart?"

It sounded ridiculous to me too but Jason seemed a little bit worried at her threat or rather it was just her hard gaze that made him squirm. 

"I will take good care of her,Luciana" He said and I laughed at the look of disgust that crossed Lucy's face.

"The fuck dude? Call me Lucy or Ana or something but definitely not my full name." She said cringing slightly. 

"Watch your language, Lucy." My mum scolded. 

"Sorry aunt. Totally forgot you were still here." She apologized sending my mum one of those smiles of hers that could get you to do anything for her.

"It is fine dear. You should get going Jason. You don't want to keep your grandma waiting." My Mum said.

"Sure Ma. See you around Lucy." Jason said before leading the way.

I turned around a bit and waved at my mum and Lucy. 

Jason opened the door to the car for me and motioned for me to get in. I climbed in and I watched him turn around to get in through the other side.

"To my grandmother's" He said to the driver and the driver replied with a yes sir and the car started moving. 

I took my time to admire the interior design of the car. It was one fine car okay.

Just like it's owner..

Kill that thought, Zara. 

"You look beautiful Zara." Jason said from beside me. 

I turned to face him and my breath definitely hitched this time when our eyes locked.

"Thank you. You look beautiful too...I mean handsome." I corrected myself. 

He chuckled lightly at my mistake and I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"I have been called a lot of things before but not beautiful." He said. 

I sent him a playful glare "So cocky." I muttered. 

"I think I have a good reason to be... I mean, have you seen me?" He said.

"Yep, definitely too cocky." I said looking away from his extremely hot body.

I must have said it before but I will say it again.

God definitely took his time creating this guy. 

He chuckled lightly but he didn't say anything in return so I just kept quiet and started scrolling through my instagram feeds. 

"We are here." Javier's harsh voice snapped me out of my trance. I was busy reading some memes and laughing at how dumb and hilarious they were that I didn't even notice we had arrived at our destination. 

I tucked my phone back in my purse and stepped out of the car with Jason doing the same.

"Who were you chatting with back there?" He asked. There was a deep scowl on his face that managed to even make look hotter than before.

"Excuse me?" I asked him.

"Who were you chatting with that was making you laugh so much? Was it your boyfriend?" He asked and I was going to laugh but the serious expression on his face stopped me.

He couldn't be serious. He was getting mad at me because he thought I was chatting with some boyfriend?

"I know this can't be the case but...are you jealous Jason?" I asked him. 

He looked taken aback by my question and I watched different kind of emotion flash in his eyes but I couldn't pinpoint what those expressions were.

"I..."

"Jason, Zara. You are here." An elderly voice interrupted and I turned to face the direction of the voice. 

A short woman appeared. She looked so fragile and pretty even with all the wrinkles on her face. She was smiling so brightly that it was almost blinding.

"Gosh, what are you doing out of your chair grandma." Javier scolded her lightly when she got to where we were standing. 

She chuckled lightly and waved him off "I am perfectly fine Jason. I just wanted to meet Zara." She said. 

"We were going to come inside Granny." He said.

"But you were taking to long and I couldn't wait any longer." She whined.

They interaction was really funny and adorable. It was like Jason was the elderly one here and was busy scolding her and she wasn't having any of it.

"Isn't she pretty, Jason?" I heard her ask.

"Hi, Mrs King." I greeted a little bit unsure. 

I was nervous all of a sudden.

What if she doesn't like me?

Don't be ridiculous Zara.

"Nonsense. Call me grandma and not Mrs King, that title will soon be yours and it will be a little bit awkward for you to call me..."

"Can we just take this inside Grandma. The doctor asked you not to stand for too long or else you will end up tiring yourself out." Jason interrupted her.

She sent him a sharp glare but she listened to him anyway because she started walking towards the house and I was walking closely beside her. 

She kept talking about how pretty she think I am and how much she loved my dress. She was surprised when I told her that I designed the dress. I promised to make one dress for her and she also promised to share my contact with everyone she knew. She made Jason take pictures of us together. We took multiple pictures together and she was only satisfied with a few. She called Jason a bad photographer and I agreed with her. Jason was definitely a bad photograph.

Dinner was lit. Jason's grandma is an extremely lovely person. She told me all about Jason when he was kid. How he used to wet the bed until he was eight and he only stopped because his father had threatened to disgrace him in front of his classmates then. She even showed me pictures of him when he was little and she told me about all of the mischief he was always up to when he was young. 

Jason was beyond embarrassed. He kept pleading with his grandma to stop with the tales but she was already having to much fun to stop. She just waved him off and continued talking.

To be fair, I enjoyed her stories too. She teared up a little when she started talking about Jason's parent and how they passed away in a car accident. Jason was still too young to remember them...she said he was around eight or nine.

They dropped Jason off at her place that night to go to a party. They were on their way back when they met with an accident. Apparently the driver had too much to drink at the party and he didn't even speak up, even Jason's parent were unsuspecting. A moving truck had hit the car and Jason's parent died on impact but somehow the driver survive the accident but he was still serving time in the prison.

"That's enough Granny. You have worn yourself out." Jason said interrupting her. 

She was in the middle of telling me about one of Jason's failed girlfriends. She said she never liked her in the first place but Jason was too blinded by the boobs and pretty face. I laughed at the disgust on her face when she mentioned her boobs.

"Come on Jason, we are having so much fun." She said. 

"But you really have to rest grandma. You look tired and it is already past your bedtime." He said and she pouted. 

"Come on Grandma, I will tuck you in and don't worry we will definitely do this another time." I told her.

She smiled brightly "You promise?" She asked and I nodded eagerly.

"I promise. Now let us get you in bed." I said and helped her up.

"You want me to come with Granny?" Jason asked and she shook her head in reply. 

"Zara has got this." She said before smiling and kissing his cheeks lightly. 

I helped her up the stairs and helped her change into her night dress and tucked her in. I wrapped the blanket around her and tucked the blanket under her shoulders. 

"Goodnight Granny." I said and kissed her forehead lightly.

"You are such a lovely girl, Zara. Jason is so lucky to have you, you will make the perfect wife for him and you guys will have beautiful children. I can already imagine it." She said smiling brightly. 

My heart clenched a bit at her words. To think I have no plans of staying with Jason or even having his children. 

I sent her a tight smile and walked out of the room when she closed her eyes to sleep. 

"Is she asleep?" Jason asked and I nodded in reply. 

"Shall we leave?" He asked. 

"Sure, I will just get my bag." I said and walked down the stairs. 

I had this weird feeling in my stomach... I couldn't explain what it was but it definitely wasn't a good feeling.
