    Phoebe knew that she shouldn''t think too much about the girl that hade home with Jason this night


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    but she could not help herself.The girl was not Jason''s type of girl. She loved very lovely and innocent


    that that was why Phoebe felt threatened by her.


    Jason who had sworn off love might just fall for that innocent looking girl. And she could not allow that


    to happen but for the night she decided to concentrate on giving him the best sex he had ever had.


    Afterall,the way to a man''s heart ording to her was through his basic desires and not just through


    his stomach ording to the popr belief.


    She had nothing on. She hade prepared. She wanted Jason to start taking her out on dates more


    often so that his otherdy friends would know that she was with him. Hopefully, it might cause their


    numbers to decrease.


    She had been trying to get Jason to fall for her but it had not been possible just yet but she was not


    about to give up.


    She rembered her former lover and wished that things had gone differently. She would have been


    married and possibly with children of her own by now but now, she was not after love though she had


    to agree that being with Jason had started making her feel differently towards him and she had to keep


    a tight leash on herself, else she would have started acting possessively towards him against any other


    female who came close to him. She had had to pretend not to be affected and since Jason had asked


    that it be an open rtionship, she had also been out on dates with some men and was also sleeping


    with one or two of them but she knew that there was no future with those ones. They were just after her


    body and she after what she could get from them.


    She had tried using one of the men to make Jason jealous by going steady with Steven Stark.


    She made sure that he saw her with Steven on several asions but he seemed unaffected. Jason


    even made friends with him and she had had to hide her angry frustration.


    Steven was a policeman and not really the profession she would have liked to go for. She had to


    reduce her involvement with Steven when her plot to make Jason jealous was not working.


    This night as she stood looking out the window with a very transparent negligee on and nothing under,


    waiting for Jason. Jason came out of the bathroom, and to her surprise, he asked, ''Whenst did you


    see Steven? It has been quite a while that I have seen him around. Hope you are not having issues?''


    Phoebe looked at him, thinking, ''Is he mocking me? Was it a sarcastic remark or an innocent one?''


    ''What do you mean?''


    ''Nothing. I havee to like him and I thought that the both of you were going steady and had been


    expecting you to quit seeing me but I have not seen hm for quite sometime now, so, I just wondered.


    Was it wrong of me to ask?''


    ''Oh no. Stev is fine. I just wondered why you brought it up now. I do not think that it is an appropriate


    topic to talk about just now, don''t you think?'' She asked barely controlling her fury.


    What did the man think of himself anyways. Here she was trying all she could to get him to feel


    affectionate towards her, enough to propose and he was referring to another man when they were


    supposed to be thinking of the sex they were going to have that night.


    Her mood was spoilt and right now, she needed a breath of fresh air.


    ''I am sorry Phoebe. I thought that I was being considerate. I didn''t think it would annoy you''.


    ''That''s right. You didn''t think. You just said the first thing that popped into your head. I wonder at men


    sometimes. Do they think and consider the emotions of their partners at all? They all must be blind


    inconsiderate chauvinistic pigs who are self centered''.


    Jason was shocked. He could not understand her vehemence. The look on his face must have sobered


    her up a bit or made her ashamed of herself because she put a cape round her night gown and stoned


    out, murmuring,


    ''I am going for a stroll round the garden''.


    Jason was deep in thought as he put his pyjamas on. Women are really funny individuals. Could it be


    that her hormones were getting the best of her or was it something else?


    Jason thought from when they saw that evening to her strange reaction but could not identify any


    instance that he had done or said anything that could have annoyed her.


    Maybe she was having some issues with Steven. Maybe, he was going to speak to Steven and find out


    what the problem was. He had started feeling awkward still seeing Phoebe right from the time he


    started thinking that she had started going steady with Steven though she was a great bed mate but


    she had shown no remorse and he had reconsidered his deductions.


    But with her reaction, she must have started having feelings for Steve and maybe it was not


    reciprocated or Steve was not responding the way she wanted and it was frustrating her.


    H wen another thought ured to him.


    ''What if I am the one she has started having feelings for and she got angry that I was asking about


    another man when she wanted to be with me?''


    Impossible! He thought to himself. ''I had already made it known to her that I was not looking for


    epted the condition and had not made anyints since they started seeing, even when she


    saw him with other women and neither had he questioned her when he saw her with her other make


    friends. Do why this sudden strange behaviour?


    There must be something troubling her and I have to find out. Though we are not in love with each


    other, we still have a rtionship.snd it is my duty to find out what is bothering Phoebe, else, she would


    think that I do not care just as she had insinuated now.


    He went out the door in search of Phoebe in the gardens.
