Filthy Secret

The doctor looks around and tells Belle “His been here since about ten minutes after you came in” looks up at the clock and tells her “About six hours, is he your partner? Would you like to me go get him for you?”

Belle nods her head watching as the doctor went out and let Jason into the corridor, he looked like hell his eyes were puffy and red. As Jason gets closer to Belle the doctor pats him on the back and tells him “She’s okay thanks to her fellow worker who had used his knowledge of first aid. It was the fact he gave her CPR until the ambulance got there that saved her!”

Jason froze in his steps on the spot and looked at the doctor and questioned him “You mean I didn’t cause her more harm than good, I wasn’t sure if I had done it right?” Breathing a sigh of relief as he walked to Belle’s side and just stood there beside her bed nervous and not saying a work just relieved she was okay.

All of a sudden he felt Belle’s hand take his hand and pull him into her and wrap her arms around him cuddling him so tight, then moved her head back to look into his eyes and with a smile on her face she wiped the tear from his eye and said “Thank you Jason, I’m told it was your fast thinking to perform CPR on me that saved my life!” Hugging him again.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief to know he hadn’t hurt Belle, wondering how he would ever live with himself if he ever caused anyone harm let alone the woman who had stolen his heart with one look into her eyes. Jason kept holding Belle for about five minutes when all of a sudden her heard someone clear there throat behind him, this caused Jason to let go and turn around to find a man standing their looking angry. Belle apologized and introduced her partner Neal to Jason “Hey babe this is my work mate Jason, it’s because of him I’m even alive!” Looking Neal square in the eyes and then speaks again “Jason this is my fiance Neal.”

Jason shook Neal’s hand and proceeded to turn around on the heal of his work boots and just nodded at Belle wishing her all the best for a recovery and walked back out to his car. Once he got their he lit a cigarette and just held his hands over his face angry at himself “Jason you fool there is no way you can ever compete with her fiance you fool just forget

Belle” He told himself butting out his cigarette in the ashtray starting his car and driving home.

Over the next week all he got from his fellow work mates were thanks and pats on the back, by the end of the week he was getting so tired of it during lunch breaks he went to the toilet and just sat in the cubicle silent watching his watch to return back to work, the sooner he could go home the better.

The Monday the following week he was walking out for a break with his eyes down when all of a sudden he felt someone grab his arm and pull him towards them, wrapping their arms around Jason and it wasn’t until they finally spoke Jason realised who it was “Oh my gosh, Jason I have been looking everywhere for you!” from the voice he automatically knew it was Belle.

Wrapping his arms around her for a quick cuddle he then proceeded to say “Hey Belle” before he went to walk away saying “Sorry Belle I need to get back to work” before walking back towards his load out door. Met at the door by Mark who questioned him “Jason could you have been any colder mate look at her she’s now leaning against the fence crying” Pointing at Belle slumped over the fence crying “Get your ass over there man, go apologise to her and go somewhere you both can talk clearly you have something to get off your mind!” looking down at Jason with a very annoyed look on his face.

Jason decided maybe he needed to listen to Mark and walked slowly back towards Belle and leaned against the fence beside her and apologised “I’m uh sorry Belle, please let me explain” watching as Belle lifted her eyes to look at him as he continued “I was really getting tired of everyone thanking me for saving you, I don’t think I did save you considering it was only after Narelle took over you started to breathe again” Grabbing her hand and asking “Can we go somewhere private so we can talk please?”

Belle starts walking towards one of the rooms off to the side of the building where she knew they wouldn’t get disturbed “Here I know the perfect spot over this way.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Opening the door to an old office building, flicking the light on as they walk into the old building, closing and locking the door behind her pointing to a stack of chairs as they both grab a chair and Jason places two chairs side by side and sits down on one while he taps the other one for Belle to sit. But Belle wants to look Jason in the eyes so she takes the chair and moves the chair so their sitting facing each other and sits herself down on the chair and looks Jason square in the eyes.

The silence between them is unbearable so Belle wraps her hands around his neck and pulls him into her for a cuddle and whispers “Everyone can say that you saved me all they want they weren’t their” picking his chin up to look at his eyes again and continues “Narelle has told me how when she walked into the room you had removed my bra and was giving me chest compressions Jason, do you know how many people would have frozen in that situation” Belle has a worried look on her face.

“I just did what I thought was right, I didn’t want to lose you after only meeting the most beautiful woman in the wooooooooooo” Jason realised what he was saying and cut himself off slapping him hand over his face to silence himself.

Belle’s eyes lit up wide as she tried to find words from within her mouth but was left with her jaw open all she could muster to say was “Jason you don’t even know me how can you say that honestly?”
