Jason was driving down to the airport. He had a stony expression on his face.
His phone starts to ring. In anger, he picks it up without checking the caller.
"....Adrian..." Said a shrill mocking voice.
His frown deepened. "It's Jason"
Pearl was on the balcony. She was seated down on a lay-back chair dressed casually with a cup of orange juice in her hands.
"....When we were dating, I didn't recall when you told me to call you that"
"Quit with the jokes. Why did you call me".
"A promise is a promise right?" She reminds him.
"....If you were so deaf to have heard me the last time I'll repeat it again" Pearl smiles at how deep and dark his voice was over the phone. "She'll be there in less than an hour. I keep my promises Pearl"
"...Liar. You told me you loved me when..."
"𝑱𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒔 keeps his promise Pearl" He reminds her.
"...Oh I can't wait to see my dear little sister", She said with false happiness over the phone. "It's been such a while. She probably misses me just as much as I miss her"
His grip tightened on the steering wheel.
"Don't hurt her" He murmured dangerously.
Pearl froze. Then suddenly, she breaks into a smile. Then she laughs.
"What's this? What is this I'm hearing. You don't want me to hurt her? I thought you wanted this Jason. Why the sudden change of mind" Then a mischievous smile curled over her teeth. "...Perhaps you've fallen in love with my little sister??? That's cute"
"What makes you think that" He snapped at her over the phone.
"....She's my sister. Whatever happens between us is none of your business. Or have you forgotten...We're Puetericos??" He gripped the phone, angry but speechless.
"That's what I thought" Then she hung up.
Jason threw his phone on the passenger's seat.
...Don't hurt her???? Why did he say that???!!! ....She was right. Whatever happened between them was none of his business.....they were Puetericos. He was a Medes.
Sophia hates him anyway. So why should he care.
He tried to take her off his mind but he couldn't help but feel an empty feeling in his heart.
Why did he feel so alone...So....guilty.
