42 Anna, today is seventeen (1/2)
A month later, Jason stepped on the soil of Los Angeles but rather than go home, he went straight to Anna's school. Anna was shocked when she received Jason's call that he was at her school gate, she had dashed out of her dorm and fair enough, he was there, she jumped on him and he spun three times with her before putting her back on her feet.
”When I call you feisty tigress, you will get annoyed but now look at you” he laughed.
Anna spanked him on his shoulder lightly, she so much wanted to kiss him but they just can't, this is LA after all ”what are you doing here?”
”Hmm, that's not what you asked when you jumped on me a minute ago” he grinned.
Anna chuckled ”well, first of all, I have to react on seeing you before questioning you, don't you think?”
”You busy? Come join me for dinner.”
Anna looked at her dressing ”I'm I good like this?”
”You will look beautiful no matter what you wear” he complimented.
”Why, thank you” she replied shyly before grabbing his hand and they strolled to a nearby restaurant.
”So how has life been like?” Jason asked after they finished ordering.
Anna sighed ”great, only that I'm feeling kind of strange this days.”
”Strange? How so?” Jason asked worriedly.
”Don't know. I sleep a lot, grow tired easily. Twice I puked in school.”
”You puked?”
”Yea, but I think is fever. The school nurse gave me some medicine and I was okay after that.”
”Why didn't you tell me?”
”I didn't want you to worry and besides, I'm okay now.”
”Are you sure?”
”Yep.”
”Or should we see a doctor?”
”No need. I'm okay now” she smiled ”how long will you be staying?”
”How long do you want me to?” He asked coquettishly.
Anna chuckled ”till I round up next week, then we can return together.”
Jason laughed ”no can do. I will be staying three days. I told mom I will be back in three days time.”
”Does she know you are here?”
”Nope.”
Anna widened her eyes ”you didn't tell her?”
”I mustn't tell her” he rolled his eyes ”I will go home in three days time. Uncle Peterson asked me to come over next Monday to familiarize myself with the company like he said.”
”Oh” their food arrived then ”I can't believe you are done with school and will be starting work soon. Will you be going from home?”
”Yep, for a while.”
”You are moving out?” She asked shocked.
”Yep. I have come of age.”
”You are twenty one!”
”No ma'am. I will be twenty two next month.”
”Oh, that's true” she looked solemn ”will you be going home during weekends?”
Jason smiled and got up from his seat, he leaned across the table and placed a soft kiss on her lips ”you will be visiting me.”
Anna's eyes lit up immediately ”I will?”
”Yep” Jason replied before sitting back on his seat. Anna smiled beautifully and then started eating her food with more enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, at the same time that day, Veronica was busy typing away on her laptop when her phone screen lit up, followed by the sound of her ringtone, she glanced at the phone before picking it up ”hello Anita.”
”Veronica, where are you?”
”At home. Is something the matter?”
”Anna and Jason are your children right?”
Veronica furrowed her brows at the question ”is there any problem?”
”I have only seen Jason in a photo but I will know him anywhere, and I have met Anna in person, so I know her too ...”
”What are you saying Anita, go straight to the point” Veronica interrupted impatiently.
”What I'm saying is that I just saw Jason kissed Anna.”
