He smiled lightly "what was that? Oh my God was that scar actually contemplating on how she'd rather stay her than be productive? That's a first." He said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Jasper shook his head and kissed the bridge of her nose

She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Oh, shut up Jassie, you can't even say anything." She drew a small circle in his hair with her finger, pretending to go to sleep on top of him.

"yes I can. Unlike a certain someone, I don't have work to do." He breathed a laugh "tired?"

"Not in the least." She mumbled, cracking another small smile, "But I'm going to lay here because I can."

"Great…am I your new mattress? Cuz I don't think I can lay here for long without falling asleep or going numb." he said with a look

She laughed lightly and shrugged, "You can sit up or move, you'll just have to move me." She smiled, "And yes, I think you're now going to be my new mattress."

He laughed and nodded "sure I am." Before he gave her time to respond, Jasper shifted so the her body moved of him. He ended up on top and her beneath him. Careful not to crush her beneath his weight, he settled on the edge of the couch "much better."

"Not really, but it's alright," She replied, some of her breath knocked out of her when he shifted around andended up on top of her. She didn't mind at all, and it was actually quite nice she decided.

"Alright?" he asked softly, leaning in close to her, close enough to feel her soft breath caress his cheek "so tell me, how can we improve it?"

She flushed slightly when he came closer and did her best to shrug while squished by him, "I don't really know, though I do know I'll have to get up eventually and change out of these clothes."

He breathed a laugh and backed away "then I should probably move." He started to get up from the couch to let her get up

"Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back," She said, scooching out from where she was and easily getting out from under him before standing up and heading towards her room to change.

He nodded and laid back on the couch, closing his eyes. He heard his phone go off in his pocket and checked it to find that Theo started to text him
I'm coming back in 2 days…you better not have messed up the studio
Jasper sighed and texted back
I didn't

Scarlett got to her room and changed quickly, throwing on a pair of her usual fuzzy Marvel pajama pants and a soft t-shirt before heading back out to Jasper. "I'm back." She said, taking a quick stop in the kitchen to look for something to eat.

He glanced up "Marvel? who's your favorite character?" he asked, frowning at his phone and putting it away with an eye roll

"Black Widow, Spiderman, Deadpool," She rattled off with a shrug, "Those are my favorites. Want anything to eat?" She was still searching the kitchen for something to eat, glancing at him with a eyebrow raised in question.

He shook his head "no, thank you. I'm fine." He felt a new message come in and sighed

She nodded, "Alright then." Grabbing a bag of chips she headed back to the couch, flopping back down and shimmying to where she was before before opening the bag, "You can turn on the TV if you want."

Jasper glanced around for the remote. Finding it on a table nearby, he stood and turned the Tv on. He felt yet another text come through and sighed. "Give me sec." He headed to the hall and dialed his brothers phone number
"Jasper I swear to freaking God if trashed my place or the studio I will kill you."
"Theo, the studios fine and I never went to your house."
"Good, don't be getting any ideas…hold on, is that a TV I hear? Jas you don't have one…oh my God are you at someone's house?! So who's the lucky lady?" Theo mocked
"No one you need to be concerned about." Jas growled
"So it's a guy…"
"No, bye." He shook his head and stood in the hall trying to calm his racing mind

"Everything alright out there?" She asked, glancing at the TV before closing her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest as well.

"yeah…just great," he muttered in response, leaning against a wall, trying to calm down. He cracked open his eyes and watched the wall across from him "You were never meant to see this demon, this monster I've carried inside…" he sands softly
(not a song, I think…just made up some words)

She nodded in response and rolled onto her side facing the TV, opening the bag of chips again and eating them quietly.

He breathed in and out slowly before standing and making his way back to the living room. He moved her legs so he could sit, placing them in his lap. He snatched a couple of chips from the bag and watched the tv

"Who was that on the phone?" She asked somewhat quietly, spinning around awkwardly so her head was resting on his leg and the bag of chips was easier for him to get.

"My brother," He said softly, stroking her hair with a gentle hand and munching on another chip "He's coming back in two days."

she glanced up at him, "Which means you're not going to be at the studio anymore?" She grabbed another few chips and popped them in her mouth.

"Not as much as I used to. At least I'll be able to work on my own studio. Don't know how the kids will take it though." He sighed and shook his head "My brother is what you would call and serpent in the flower."

"So two more days that I can see you whenever? Then I'm working with your brother while you get to do the fun stuff with your studio." She cracked a light smile to try to cheer him up slightly, "The kid's should be fine, I'll try to be there if I can to teach them."

He shook his head "no way are you working with my brother." He half growled "seriously scar. He's no good…" he said worriedly "He's done some things that he shouldn't be proud of,"

Reaching over, she took his hand, "I'll be fine Jassie, plus my internship is for his studio, so its not like I can just come over to yours, it's basically my job to go there."
