Chapter 16

Jason's ( P. O. V. )

I woke up at 4am, took a quick shower and after 30 minutes, I was done bathing Leo and putting my clothes on. I was now on my to the airport, with Leo.

I wasn't gonna take Leo at first, but I wasn't gonna just leave my buddy in my penthouse all alone.

He looked sad, so here he is in my car with me.

40 minutes later

We finally reached the airport, I walked out of the car with Leo, I spotted Ben and my pilot Jeremy talking in front of my private jet.

"Hey Ben, hey Jeremy." I greeted them, they turned they heads and smiled at me. I walked over to them with Leo by my side.

"Hey Jason." they greeted me simultaneously, I hugged Ben and high fived Jeremy.

"Is the jet good to go?" I asked Jeremy.

"Yes, it is." he answered.

"So why are we standing here let's go inside." I stated.

"Is Leo going to New York, with us?" Jeremy questioned.

"Yeah, don't worry his trained." I reassured.

"Okay then, you two can go in, I'll check if everything is in order." Jeremy responded.

"Okay." Ben and I replied.

We stepped inside the Jet.

Wow!! It's beautiful....

My dad got it for me for my 25th birthday as a gift. I've never used it till now, it's simply gorgeous.

The inside view is even more gorgeous than the outside view of the jet.

Ben and I sat down on the couch, while Leo laid on the floor.

"So... how have you been, it's been so long since I've seen you?" Ben spoke up first.

"Ben don't exaggerate, we haven't since each other in only two months." I pointed out.

"Well yeah, but your life can change in just two months you know." he countered and I rolled my eyes.

"My life hasn't changed in the last two months, it's been the same." I replied plainly.

"I'm talking about personally, how is your personal life going, anything new?" he inquired.

"No, I haven't been sexual since the incident, everything's the same, I just work a lot more now." I answered.

"Still can't stop thinking about Maria can you?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I'll never be able to forget about her, I've known her since we were 8, I can't forget about her that easily, she and I have always been together, we used to do everything  together, but now everything has changed, now life just separated us." I confessed, sadly.

"You do know it's because of you she left. How could you cheat on her with Rebecca of all people, you know all of us don't like her. I remember when Carla and Lola found out about you and Rebecca, they were so mad at you, they told me they called Maria to show they support her but I don't think she answered they call." he informed.

"Yeah, I know it's my fault, but you know the truth, I told you everything, but here you are still blaming me for everything, what a friend you are? that's why I miss Maria she always understood me." I stated.

"I know you told me the truth, but it's still your fault. Sorry bud, I just like blaming you for it, I love seeing your reaction." he mocked, smiling.

I rolled my eyes again.

"Anyways, Lola forgave me once I told her the truth, but Carla I don't know if she still hates me, because she left LA as well. I think we should all have a reunion, it'll be nice seeing all of them again." I suggested.

Lola and Carla have always been extremely loyal to Maria, if anyone were to hurt Maria or say anything bad to her, whoever it is they'll never forgive that person. I informed Lola of the whole truth and she understood me, but she was still sad that Maria left LA without saying goodbye to her.

"Yeah, but the main character has to be there, Maria the love of your life." he remarked, sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes again for the 100th time today.

"She's not a character Ben, this isn't a story or a book where they are characters, this is real life and yes she is and will always be the love of my life. I hope whereever she is she's okay and safe. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her, because of me she had to leave LA and start a new life somewhere else." I admitted.

"Okay, but you right, she wanted to be a lawyer right?" he questioned.

"Yeah, she always wished to be the most famous lawyer in LA, but I hope she is a famous lawyer where she is. I hope she's happy whereever she might be." I confessed honestly, I wouldn't want her to be sad where ever she is because of me.

I glanced at Leo, his watching us talk silently.

"Jason, were ready to take off." Jeremy pointed out.

"Okay." I replied.

I felt the Jet move and I instantly thought of Maria.

"Maria was always terrified of flying, I wonder how she must've left LA on a plane." I chuckled.

Ben laughed.

"Yeah, she would make the funniest expressions when the plane would move."

I smiled at the memory, when my parents decided we all should go on a trip on a plane to Miami, Maria refused immediately. It took us a lot of convincing to get her on board, when the plane took off, she would hold my hand real tight, when she realised she was holding my hand tightly she would apologize and let go of my hand,  when the plane made any little movement, she would hold on to me, she would make the cutest expressions.

Ugh! I miss her so much.

"I miss her so much, I wonder how she's living without me." I stated.

"Yeah right you only miss her because of the sex." he remarked, leaning back on the couch with a smirk on his face.

"That's true, but 60% is because I miss the sex, I won't lie and 40% because I truly love her and I miss her a lot it's been six years since I've with a women, I can't think of any one else expect Maria." I disclosed.

"Oh, lover boy is madly in love." Ben commented, sarcastically.

"Shut up Ben." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh geez lover boy is now angry, how emotions change quick." he stated and laughed.

"Ben can you please shut up I wanna sleep it's gonna be a long time till we reach New York, let me sleep I don't wanna hear your silly sarcastic comments." I exclaimed, leaning down on the couch and closing my eyes. immediately once I close my eyes the image of Maria pops up and I just wanna cry, I've never been an emotional kinda guy, but when it comes to Maria, I just can't control myself. I hope where ever she is she's safe, happy, but not with a man.

I wouldn't be able to stand seeing her with another man. She's mine exclusively mine...
