Chapter 80 Learning to Drive

Jason's hands were kinda sweaty and warm, fitting just right around mine.

"Eyes up, don't look down," a smooth, classy voice suddenly hit my ears.

Feeling all awkward, I snapped my head up and stared straight ahead. The grip on my hand tightened. He was showing me how to shift gears, hand-in-hand.

"When you shift gears, don't look down. You might swerve and crash." Jason was like a real coach, all precise and no-nonsense, making me feel a bit silly for being so nervous. So, I pulled myself together, started focusing, and stopped getting distracted.

Later, I got braver and even dared to speed up, feeling the rush of controlling the car.

"Not as tough as you thought, huh?" Jason said.

I nodded, super pumped.

When I'm into something, time just flies. My stomach growled, and I checked the time it was already 10 PM.

"Hungry?" Jason glanced at me with a grin.

I scratched my head, feeling a bit sheepish. "A little."

"Let's head back then," he said.

We swapped seats, and Jason drove us back to the villa. Ethan wasn't home yet.

Jason said, "I'll whip up some late-night snacks. Not the healthiest, but better than being hungry. Hang tight for just a sec."

I guess I was too tense learning to drive, 'cause my whole body ached. I flopped onto the couch, said "Okay," and grabbed the remote, flipping through channels.

As I watched, my eyelids got heavy. A slight noise woke me up. The TV was off, the living room was dark, but I smelled something familiar.

"You're back?" I mumbled sleepily.
