Chapter 16

• After they had dinner something from a fast-food place because everything was just about closed. They didn't finish eating as he made love to her again. Having her and able to express how he felt through actions and not having to hide how he felt. That being with her was no longer forbidden. Once they were spent and he held her as she slept. He made a promise to himself to let her know he want a relationship with her. Hopefully, he hadn't ruin things four years ago.
• Rachel waking up next to Jason who she had always dreamt about since she turned sixteen. The man had teased her and annoyed her but here he was beside her. She couldn't count how many times they had sex. She didn't know if he would say it was making love. She was bashing herself because he was just in a relationship, and he could easily say he had changed his mind about working. All these years she was saving herself and here she was doing exactly what she had been avoiding. She started the water so that she could soak and relieve some soreness while she wondered what the next move was. If he left, then she knew he never wanted her to begin with. If he stayed and requested to be put on detail and not a detail for her, then he regretted what they did. Then thoughts of them trying for a relationship also entered her mind. She finally got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around herself and fixing her hair up. She was going to step out there and not be needed or clingy. She took a deep breath but stepping out expecting him to say they made a mistake, or this can never happen again or that he had changed his mind. She was bracing herself when she stepped out, he was leaning against the headboard, and he was smiling at her. Okay she thought any minute he was going to say something to end it between them. She was ready.
• "Rachel, we need to talk."
