I'm his girlfriend

Both brothers looked at each other, probably processing what Nadia just said. After a few seconds, Jason looked back at Nadia.

"You want to keep working"?

Derrick asked and I nodded looking at him and then I turned to look at Jason.

"When it gets too hectic, let me know".

Jason said and I took that as permission to continue working. I smiled at his comment and bowed lightly.

"You should get some rest, it's going to be a very stressful day tomorrow".

He said which meant I could go to my room. I stood up and excused myself from his study.

Derrick looked at his brother and he could see that slight glimpse of happiness written on his face. This was the first time in a very long time that he had seen his brother happy and the first time in his entire life that he had seen his brother happy because of a woman.

I went back to my room and because of how happy I was feeling, I decided to listen to music. I picked up the tab that I used for his schedules and downloaded a song that I was very much in love with. The name of the some was A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

I played the song and lay on my bed as I closed my eyes and listened to the song.

"Playing 𝖠 𝖳𝗁𝗈𝗎𝗌𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖸𝖾𝖺𝗋𝗌"

By Christina Perri

(from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" soundtrack)

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more.

I listened to the song over and over again and yet, the only person I could see with my eyes closed was none other than Jason. I still didn't understand why. Why would I be seeing him when listening to a song like this?

For some reason, it just felt so right. It felt like I had known him for a very long time it sounded like a thousand years and although he hasn't done anything exceptionally, I found myself having a soft spot for him already.

I tried to get rid of the thoughts that kept buzzing in my head, but it just wasn't working. I stopped the music, hoping it'd help my mind clear off, but still to no avail.

I didn't have feelings for him, that I was very sure of but why did I constantly think about him? Why does it feel like he is the major person that occupies my mind? Why does it feel like whenever I'm around him, I only see the good in him? If anything, I'm supposed to be extremely mad at him for buying me but then, I often even forget that something like that happened.

I tried to think about something else to take my mind off of him but I couldn't so I decided to try and get some sleep.

We got to the office pretty early the next day and although I could see people looking at me and I could also hear them gossiping slightly, I just ignored them and tried to do my job to my best ability.

We were done for the day and we were on our way back home when a car abruptly stayed in front of ours. Jason's guards went out to check on the situation of things and also to find out who did that and why but then, one of the guards came to Jason and whispered something in his ear.

Jason was sitting patiently in the car, waiting for his men to sort out whatever it was that they needed to sort out but then, one of his guards came to his car and told him something on his ear.

"Boss, it's Miss Anita Blake".

As soon as Jason heard this, he became cold. He didn't understand why she'd do something this stupid just to get his attention. He got out of the car and went to see her.

"Well, look who decided to come out and grace me with his presence".

She said and he just kept looking at her like she was a fool.

"Where is she"?

She asked irritated but Jason said nothing and just kept watching her.

"Where is she, Jason"?

She asked once again and this time, Jason moved very close to her and said just one word.

"Move".

He said and began walking back to his car. He had never given Anita face before even when both their families had agreed on the whole marriage thing, he made sure she knew that he wasn't interested. But, he never saw her as annoying. If anything, he saw her as a young girl who grew independent very fast but right now, she was disappointing him.

Anita kept following him till she got to his car but when she got there, Nadia was already outside.

I heard so much noise that I couldn't help but look outside to see what was happening. I wanted to see what was causing the whole ruckus so I came out of the car. Only to see this lady following Jason.

"Haa, so here she is, the whore".

She said and I smiled at her. Normally, I wouldn't have said anything but for some reason, I did.

"Check closely Miss, I'm his girlfriend. You are the whore".
