4 Chapter four: will you be my boyfriend? (1/2)

Then you can gift them to me” Anna said indifferently and Melody's eyes were already red from anger and alcohol.

”Anna” Jason called and they both turned to face him ”come with me” he said as he grabbed her by the hand and pull her away with him but not before casting Melody a warning glance.

”What happened?” He asked Anna as they made their way through the dancing students.

”She is angry because I didn't get you to be her date” she shouted over the music.

”That's why you need to consult me first before agreeing to any of this bullshit. I don't want anybody hurting you because of me, is that clear?” He shouted back. They had made their way to the other side of the room by then ”here” he handed her a bowl of grapes ”got them from Megan” he said in her ear before offering her a smile.

She smiled back to him ”thanks” she said with a slightly raised voice for him to hear since she can't talk to his ear due to his height.

Jason smiled and popped a grape in his mouth ”mm” was the sound he made as he picked another one ”sweet” he reached for her mouth and she opened for him to put the grape ”see?” He asked as she burst the grape in her mouth letting the juice settle on her tongue before she swallowed.

”Yea” she agreed while nodding and he picked another one and placed on his lips. It burst and a single line of the juice slipped from his lips down his throat. Her eyes followed the line the juice made down to his open chest. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and had to swallow hard, her eyes locked on his chest. She felt the urge of kissing his chest or better still wiping away the juice but how is she going to do that without giving herself away?

She recalled herself immediately and looked up to see him looking at her too, there was tenderness in his eyes or more like passion? She couldn't name it but she was lost in those bright blue eyes of his. He blinked and then turned and walked away while she watched him leave.

Anna stood oh her own for what felt like hours and Jason did not return nor has she seen him anywhere around. She sighed as she thought on what could be his problem, she had already finished the grapes and was waiting for him to return the bowl but since he was no where to be seen, she decided to return it herself. Forcing herself through the crowds and almost approaching the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of his hair, she would know that anywhere. She looked closely and saw him talking to Megan with a brunette giving him a side hug.

She frowned, she knows every single soul in the house because she sees them in school except that brunette in his arms, is she Courtney, Megan's cousin? She figures it had to be her since she is the only stranger in the room. Watching as he was talking and laughing with the girls, she felt her heart breaking. Seeing the way his hand wrapped on the supposed Courtney shoulder, she felt cheated on and had to remind herself that they were not dating and most certainly won't.

She turned and walked away from the heartbreaking sight in time to hide her tears. Her hand reached to wipe away the traitor tears and she dropped the bowl somewhere on the floor. She can't actually tell why she is crying should she be asked and so have to hide it before someone sees it and had to report to Jason who would then come asking to know what's wrong with no idea that he is the reason.

Clearing her blurry eyes from tears, she saw Cash dancing and walked up to him ”hey Cash.”

The dancing blonde turned to look at her and smiled ”hey Anna, wanna grant me my dance request?”

She smiled at that ”sure” she replied as she let her hands circle his neck while his hand grabbed her waist as they both danced to the music. At the other end of the room, a pair of blue eyes was watching them as his hold tightened on the shoulder of the girl in his arm.

”Ouch” the girl said looking at him.

”Sorry” was his reply as he released his hold on her.

Anna danced with Cash for a little while as her mind was covered in thoughts of how happy her brother was while talking to Megan and her cousin, she often wonders why he has never had a girlfriend with the fact that the girls were always after him, neither has he answered whenever she asked except his usual 'none of them has captured my interest' yea right, she thought as she remembered the smiling brunette in his arms, she shook her head to fade away the image.

”You okay?” Cash asked.

She looked up at him and smiled ”yea, just some unwanted thoughts.”

”Wanna talk about it?”

”Nah, not really” she smiled and he nodded, after a while she looked at him again ”say, do you want to be my boyfriend?”

Cash looked at her puzzled, now that was not what he expected ”um...you say what?”

”I said, do you want to be my boyfriend?”

”You want me to be your boyfriend?”

”Do you want to?”
