Jason led me towards his sofa, where we both took a seat. I was a little uncomfortable over the fact that we were so close to each other which earned a grin from Jason.

"Relax Christina." He gave me a small smile and held my eyes briefly before I looked down at the ground.

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves as Jason turned on the TV. He lowered the volume so that we could hear each other clearly, before focusing back on me.

"So what do you want to know," I asked him.

"I want to know everything about you," he said with a genuine smile.

"Well I already told you that I was studying to become a doctor, but I love dancing as well."

"Really," he asked with a shocked expression.

"Yeah I love how my body sways to the beat of music, it's very relaxing." I looked away and began fidgeting with my fingers. I could feel a blush coming on as the heat rose in my cheeks.

"Did you take lessons growing up?"

"I did before my father passed away."

"I'm sorry Christina." Jason's face fell and I knew he was giving me the, "the look of pity," as I called it.

"No it's fine you didn't know."

"How old where you when he passed?"

"I was fourteen."

"That must have been tough for you to go to through, especially at a young age."

"It was, but my mother helped me get through the whole ordeal. That was the only time I got to see her frequently. I'm fine now though, thank you." Jason released a breath and looked like he didn't know where to go after that heavy topic. He ran his hands through his hair awkwardly before looking at me once more.

"What else do you like?"

"I love playing basketball, my favorite color is blue, and I have a best friend named Stacy from back home."

"Do you miss her?"

"Yeah I miss her, but it's fine because I plan on visiting her soon."

Jason gave me a huge smile which made me feel calm. "Can I ask you a personal question Christina?" I thought all these questions he was asking were personal, but I reluctantly agreed to his request.

"Sure."

"Back in the other room when you claimed to be shy, you said that you weren't a virgin and that the only other man who has seen your body is your ex-boyfriend from high school." I was taken aback by what he was saying and I shifted in place to ease my nervousness of where this conversation was going.

"Yeah what about it?"

"Why did you end it with him?"

"It's simple really I caught him cheating on me with a girl, who I thought was my best friend in his bedroom. I respect myself, so there was no way I was going to stay and take him back after that."

"Good for you, that guy was a fool for letting you go." I blushed a bit and heard him chuckle at my embarrassment. Even though I felt awkward, Jason made me feel somewhat at ease with his words. His voice was calming and I could listen to him talk all day.

"Enough about me Jason tell me more about you." I shoved his arm playfully as he bit back a smile.

"What more is there to say, my life is an open book I have no privacy."

"Yeah I know that but are those stories true?"

"Which stories?"

"You know the one about you being a playboy/man whore all over town."

"Do you believe those stories," he says as he gets closer to me. It's almost as if the playful atmosphere in the room suddenly vanished. Now I only feel the strong electric current of attraction pulling me towards him. I begin to move back instinctively until I have no other way of putting distance between us, but Jason follows my every move.

My breathing becomes ragged from his close proximity, and I can smell his cologne which is intoxicating. "I don't know what to believe," I say looking up into his beautiful blue eyes.

"Christina tell me honestly," he says giving me a smirk. He basically pushes me into a corner of the sofa, which causes me to lie down. Jason is now hovering above me and I'm beginning to lose myself in him.

"I kind of believed it at first, but seeing you with Amanda confirmed it." He chuckled causing me to glare at him.

"You're so cute when you're jealous."

"I'm not jealous Jason, because believe it or not I'm not attracted to you." I know I'm lying out of my ass right now but I didn't know what to say. Jason looked surprised at my statement at first, but then his face turned devious.

"Is that right," he said as he lowered his lips towards my neck. He planted a chaste kiss at the crook of my collarbone. "So you feel nothing at all while I kiss you like this?" He began kissing up and down my neck causing me to bite my lower lip to stifle the moan I was about to let out. He moved from my neck to the exposed cleavage of my chest causing me to gasp. Jason looked up at me, threw me a smirk, and continued placing kisses on my chest. I lost all my senses, and began playing with his hair. I could hear Jason groan as I pushed him into my chest more. He broke away, and stared at me. The room was filled with our ragged breathing.

"You know for a girl who said she isn't attracted to me at all you seemed to enjoy what just happened quite a bit."

"My cheeks flushed and I could see Jason, staring at my lips. He began to move closer and my gaze drifted to his lips as well. When our faces where mere inches apart from each other, what my mother told me popped back into my head.

"Christina you are there to work not play around."

I pushed Jason back, and lifted myself up. "Jason we can't do this."

"Yes we can Christina, why are you fighting this. I know you're attracted to me."

"I'm not," I say in a shaky voice. Jason gets off the sofa and rolls his eyes.

"Okay maybe you're not, but I'm attracted to you. I have been since the moment I saw you in the kitchen."

"Maybe I should go." I get up and quickly fix the buttons on my blouse. 

"Christina wait..." Jason tries to stop me, but my mind is already made up. I make a beeline for the door before turning back to face him.

"Goodnight Jason." I walk out of his room, and head back to my bedroom. I head for my bed immediately and groan in my pillow. I cannot believe I let myself get caught up in the moment. I almost let him kiss me for god's sake. This can't continue. If April were to ever find out, she would hate me forever. Jason is just a good looking guy, who's smart, sexy, and confident, ugh I hate myself right now. I hate how my body got hot all over just from some mere kissing and touching. I smack my forehead before sitting upright, "maybe a shower will do me some good." I hop off the bed and take another shower to cool down.

When I'm all dressed for bed, I notice marks on my neck in the mirror. I tilt my head to the side and find that I have four hickeys on my neck. Great just great how the hell am I going to cover this up? I decide to not worry about it right now and go to sleep.

In the morning I wake up and get ready for work. Today I have to clean Gloria's bedroom and bathroom since she gave me the day off yesterday basically. I put on my uniform and let my hair down to cover up the hickeys from Jason. If April were to ever see them I don't know how I would explain myself. I head downstairs and grab the cleaning supplies and head up to Mrs. Anderson's bedroom.

Her room doesn't need much cleaning, in fact it looks like she doesn't even sleep in here. It really makes me wonder what exactly my mother really did for her seeing as she didn't have much work on her hands.

Once I complete my tasks, I head downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Hey April," I say walking into the kitchen.

"Glad to see someone is in a better mood. "

"Yeah thank you for bringing me dinner last night; I had a lot on my mind."

"If you want to talk about it, I'm here for you."

I look down for a moment before taking a deep breath. "Yesterday when I went to see my mother, a nurse pulled me to the side, and told me that she had three weeks left to live. She said the cancer has spread faster than expected." I felt the tears forming in my eyes, as I looked over to April who was also beginning to tear up.

"I didn't tell my mother, because I don't want her to feel anymore stressed out than she already is." I began crying and placed my head down on the counter. April walked over to my side and pulled me into a comforting hug as she rubbed my hair.

"I'm so sorry Christina. I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but keeping something like this bottled up inside is not healthy. You need someone to talk to whenever you feel down, and like I said if you need help with anything I'm here for you."

"Thank you April," I said as she wiped my tears away with a napkin.

She handed me an omelet, and I began eating.

"You are an amazing cook you know that." I wasn't a fan of omelet's, but this was the best I've had so far.

"Thanks, I used to practice all the time with my mother before I left home."

"Why don't you open a restaurant April seriously?"

"I don't know I enjoy working and living with Mrs. Anderson."

"I'm sure you do, but there's got to be other things you want to do with your life right? I'm sure if you tell Mrs. Anderson about them, she'll be thrilled trust me."

"I'll think about it."

Once I'm done with breakfast, I go upstairs and change. I decide to go visit my mother again, because I want to spend the last few days I have left with her to the fullest. I also have to make a note of telling Mrs. Anderson of the situation so that she can visit as well.

When I got to my mother's room, she was sleeping. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. These are the memories I want to cherish of her. I take a seat by her bed and gently hold her hand being careful not to wake her. Thirty or so minutes later, she eventually woke up, and was surprised to see me.

"Christina what are you doing here?"

"Hi mama, I figured I'd come spend some time with you today as well."

"Not that I'm not thrilled to see you honey, but aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"I'm done for the day."

While we were talking, I got sick of my hair being in my face, and tied it up in a high pony tail. What I forgot about, was the fact that I had now left Jason's hickeys on full display. I heard my mother gasp and I realized what I had done.

"Shit."

"Christiana Maria Munoz...." Oh you know you're in trouble when you're parent calls you by your full name.

"Yes mama," I replied weakly. I couldn't meet her eyes for I feared they were full of judgement.

"What is the meaning of those marks on your neck? Where did they come from?"

I took this moment to think hard and fast. I thought of mosquitoes, but that not possible it's too cold outside. Then I thought of bed bugs, but that's can't be possible either Mrs. Anderson's home is spotless. Then I came up with the best idea.

"I had an allergic reaction to a dish April made for me."

"Honey you don't have any food allergies." My mother tilted her head to the side looking puzzled for a brief second. 

"You don't know that mama, April uses different spices that I've never encountered before so I'm probably just reacting to one of them."

"Christina I wasn't born yesterday okay; I'm your mother I know when you're lying. I also know that those are hickeys, so who gave them to you?"

I took a deep breath knowing that I couldn't lie to her anymore, "they're from Jason okay."

"Christina," she said in a disapproving tone while shaking her he head in disappointment.

"I know mama... I know, we were talking and then the conversation just got a little heated. He started kissing on me and I lost myself in him, but it's not my fault."

"Christina I told you not to get involved with Gloria's son."

"I know and I promise you I won't."

"It was hard enough for you to tell me that you lost your virginity in high school, please don't disappoint me by telling me that you slept with your employer's son."

"Okay, it won't happen again."

"Good."

I spent the rest of the day  with my mother watching TV and talking until visiting hours were over. Before I left,  I gave her a kiss on her forehead and said goodnight. I drove back to the Anderson residence, and when I got in the house seemed extremely quiet. I placed my keys in my bag as I scanned the rooms.

"Hello April is anyone home?"

I walk into the kitchen and find a note stating that everyone went out to go shopping, and that they would be back later. Well isn't that nice. I was beginning to think that the house staff really never left the house. Then again I never really pay attention to the other's since April is the only one who seems to enjoy my company. I walk upstairs and head to my bedroom. I quickly change my clothes, and decide to see whether or not Jason is home. I walk over to his wing of the house, and as I approach his door I hear moaning and stop dead in my tracks.

The door is cracked a bit so I can see Jason kissing all over Amanda's body and my mouth drops.

"Jason let's take this to the bed, I can't wait anymore."

I see Jason lift her up as she crosses her legs around his waist before disappearing into his bedroom suite.

I immediately run back to my bedroom and close the door, and my feel my heart clench in pain as I replay what I had just seen in my head. I can't believe the nerve of that guy. If he is expecting me to come to his bedroom tonight after screwing Amanda and two hours before, he has another thing coming.
