my worth

The outburst

Julia worked up Jason's stairs trying to figure out if she was making a mistake she couldn't see herself walking all the way back to her car and her present mode on the verge of Tears one minute ready to punch someone slide out the next and she didn't know where else in town she could go to pull herself together this is a terrible imposition she said watching his keys slide into the lock.

is the middle of your work day and I have an office manager whose perfectly capable of closing up shop so come and make yourself comfortable.

stepping in the apartment surprised her it was a large space with a vaulted ceiling shining hardwood floors wow white walls and lots of windows and open stairway lead up to a loft with skylight the chandelier hung up from the centre of the dining which attracted even the list of people " this is beautiful the rent must be out of sight " Julia said.I bought the building when I bought the newspaper she looked at him with New Eyes. he made a heavy investment in his stay here on the island.have a seat while I get us something to drink Jason touch the back of a couch while making his way to the kitchen or would you prefer coffee or tea he called from the other side of the counter. no thanks, Julia said.

she wasn't a big fan of alcohol but right now she felt like getting tipsy .

he Returned with a tray holding two cordial glasses and a leather-covered decanter he set the tray on the coffee table sat beside her on the couch and poured. she didn't ask what it was just took the delicate steam class and tossed it back as it went down smoothly then exploded in a fireball that raced from her stomach to her lungs and then to her head.

Jason's eyes widened then slowly he poured again. thank you she said it seems like she just adult-rated a drink while still 17 .

are you cold Jason said ,you know this 1st October and the chills really come hard sipping her drink she watched Jason moved to the fireplace laying paper. he was being very kind and she thought she didn't deserve it .

it's been a hell of a day Jason said. she didn't know why that struck out on such a deep sad I'm andthe next moment her grip on her emotions slipped again.

" Julia"he called in a concerned tone she turned her head outside away from him but it was of no use she couldn't pull herself together like she had before it's consumed her and she had to let it all out she pressed her hand over her mouth to stop the shudder but it was too late as Jason gathered her in his arms she tried to resist then he murmured in her right ear giving her comfort she buried her face in his neck and surrender to the sadness and anger swelling inside her

that's it he murmured holding her as tightly as she was holding him let it all out and she did.

after a while when her sobs had subsided she raised her head and noticed the wet stain of her tears on his shirt she apologized for making a mess don't worry about it Jason said they were still sitting close his hands resting on her waist hers on his chest. heat built at those points and spread over her.she sat back straightening her dress, do you mind if I use your bathroom? I need to mop up.

No problem, the door by the entrance Hall.

thanks she muttered. when she Returned few minutes later Jason was already in a new shirt.

feeling better he asked he stood close to the front of her. he didn't touch her physically but he might as well have. give yourself a break today what you had at the police station today was pretty shocking news but who could have murdered ever do you think it's someone on the island .

maybe we are not sure yet Jason shrugged .what are you doing Julia asked Jason walking to the kitchen: to make us some dinner. sorry I can't stay I have my show in two hours so I'm just gonna have to leave. well okay but let me help fair enough want to make the pancakes ? she went around the counter and set to work, at the adjacent counter Jason was mixing a salad ; sure I barely knew her but even if I wonder if there wasn't something I could have done to help her.

Julia pressed her lips together this is strange right now talking like this.

Jason nodded not really I always had a feeling we'll get along if we get to know ourselves more well .

don't get used to it Carter I have a feeling I'm not going to like you much once I see how you write this up in your next edition. does that mean you like me now Jason cooed

don't push your luck Julia retorted.

but then he came up to her pull his hands on her waist standing too seductively close to her said as far as I'm concerned you can stay here forever .

her breath locked and her mind went blank some few minutes later they were done making their they sat down put on some slow music She tasted the pancake wow this is wonderful Kate told me you were a good cook but I didn't take that seriously he shrugged it just a hobby and then over there that they talked more about a mastiff and the possible reasons something like that could happen called then after talking they clear their plates. then the night slowly got by.
