Jason narrowed his eyes. He didn’t think he’d know any of the guests so if it was awful he wouldn’t hear anything of it after the guests left.
“That means you’re going too?” Jason asked his brother.
“Yeah, it’s going to be slightly awkward. The owner of the wedding business sitting down at the wedding breakfast.”
“I’m feeling very nervous now.”
“Why?” Erica said, tossing her script on the coffee table.
“It’s one thing to cater for a top movie star for our first event but to have my brother and sister-in-law there is tremendous pressure.”
“You need to calm down, it’s going to be fine,” Archer said. “Go and have a great time with Heidi. Say hi for us and tell her we’re glad she didn’t have any lasting effects from the knock out.”
“Okay, brother, see you both tomorrow.”
Jason walked away and headed to Ralph’s shed to collect the keys for the buggy. He didn’t want to keep using Heidi and Freya’s fuel. Plus he wanted to pick her up like a proper date.
He arrived at her house and parked up the side where her buggy usually parked. He assumed Freya must be out. He rapped on the small moon shaped glass towards the top of the door and waited. The door opened a few moments later and Heidi stood in the doorway looking like heaven.
She’d always had an easy way of dressing, making it look effortless but there was something more together about her. Not just her tight body, straight back or naturally wavy hair. She just seemed perfect.
“Hey,” Jason said, leaning in to kiss her cheek, making sure he caught the edge of her mouth. He slipped his tongue out to swipe at her lip gloss. “Blackberries,” he said.
“Hi, Jason,” she replied giving him a smirk. “Yes, blackberry chapstick.”
She picked up her bag and slung it crossways over her body.
“Hmm, are you sure it’s blackberries?”
“Very,” she answered and backed up when Jason stepped over the threshold.
He closed the door behind him and then stepped back to lean against it, tagging her waist to bring her flush with his body. Wrapping his arms around her back his kissed her on the mouth, swiping and licking at her lips. When she opened, he swiped inside her mouth and groaned. She tasted fruity like she’d been drinking punch. When her arms wrapped around his neck, he spun them so she was against the door and his thigh was between her legs pressing gently against her body.
After a few heated moments, Heidi turned her head to the side. “Jason,” she said on an exhale.
He fucking loved the way she sighed his name. He wanted to hear it in his bed, after he’d made her come.
“What are we doing?” she whispered.
“Going on a date, sweetheart.”
“We broke up, like a lifetime ago.”
“Don’t deny you don’t feel this, you can feel it right?”
Heidi turned her head back and looked at him with glassy eyes. “I’m so confused.”
“Do you want me to stop kissing you, to stop touching you. If you do I will, just tell me.”
Silence stretched between them and he was holding his breath, waiting for her to answer.
“No, don’t stop.”
Thank fuck. Jason grabbed her again and gave her a hard deep kiss and then stepped away, before he was tempted to carry her up the stairs.
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah,” she said, eyes still glazed over.
