Chapter 82
Jennie Wilson POV
” If you are bored here I will take you out somewhere or where ever you wish…… but you are not going out anywhere without me.”
Are you serious!?
What to do…… I have asked Alex to meet up too……!
She will definitely be scared in front of him…… and he doesn’t even know Alex is a girl.
Wait…… I have an idea…….NôvelDrama.Org © content.
” Well…… I’m…… actually going to meet Rose and Harper. I wanted to meet my friends and have a nice chat. And you are saying that you want to hang out with us… girls? Want to have a kitty party with us?”
” What…… Rose’s house……?” He frowned, his nose scrunching by my words.
” Yes! I miss them very much and want to meet them.”
” But you just met them yesterday here.” He raised his eyebrow glaring at me, his eyes so calculating I felt like he could see right through me.
” So…… so…… what…… There are so many unsaid words and gossips, you wouldn’t know girl’s thing anyway. I want to meet them!!!” I blurted out something, whatever flashed into my mind breathing heavily as I looked at him.
He didn’t even blink or move a single muscle, staring me down. What was he thinking about?
” Okay then I will drop you off her house. Let’s go.” He said walking past through me dismissing me just like that.
Oh No no…
” Why? It’s just Rose’s house…… I can go by myself. You don’t need to waste your energy and time for me…… concentrate on your thesis Vincent!”
” It can wait…… and you going all by yourself safely is a miraculous thing ever on this earth. …… which never happens at all……. I can’t take risk.” Vincent said while getting down the stairs and I was baffled by his words.
” Why are you so worked up for me? Is it because of I’m of your use, because of that Elora? Well then that doesn’t mean you have to invade in everything I do! Can’t I have my own freedom!?”
He halted suddenly and I dashed onto his broad back without noticed he has stopped.
His expression grew steely as he turned towards me and I stepped back a little in fear.
” Why are YOU so worked up in stopping me? Why can’t you just go along without making fuss for once? I see no big deal in this that worth a fight but you just…… What are you really upto? Come on spill the beans”
Hah! Did he actually expect me to spill the beans? It will never happen from my side.
” I’m not…… why are you doubting me. I just didn’t wanted to bother you since you were so dedicated to the project…… Well it’s fine if that’s what you want…… Let’s go then. Drop me……” I laced my arm in his and pulled him with me.
But it was only me who was moving alone as he stood like a rock, not even budging a inch as I tried to drag him with by his arm. What is he made of!!????
He just narrowed his suspecting eyes as he glared at me but I kept a neutral face, trying my best to not to give any clue of distress.
We stood in silence for a moment his eyes piercing making my skin erupt with goosebumps.
He finally gave in and decided to walk along with me and I smiled internally and he side eyed me.
I grew queasy when I realised I had intertwined my hands on his and other on his same arm. Hah!!
I blushed furiously and removed my hand quickly from his arm but he didn’t leaving my hand, gripping it tightly on his palm and I flustered out.
He pulled me along with him as we walked and said Emma that we were going out for a while and we drove off.
In minutes he dropped me to the Rose’s house and got off along with and I blinked at him clueless.
He leaned into his car crossing his arm, his arms corded with muscle, which bulged through his tight black shirt.
” Go in……” He motioned his head towards the gate.
” Yeah I’m going…… you can go now.” I wavered my hand trying to shoo him off so that I can escape and meet Alex.
” No you go in first……” He said blankly sizing me up and I awkwardly shifted towards the gate.
He’s very smart than I thought! Damn!
” And one thing…… Stay in Rose’s house, don’t wander off here and there without me knowing. I’ll pick you up by 7pm.”
Huh?
” Why 7pm…… 9pm… come by 9pm.” I stated glaring at him, crossing my arms on my chest.
” No 7pm. Wind everything up till 7pm, I’ll be there.”
” Come by 9 pm…… I have so much do, you can’t debar my freedom! If you come early than I will run away somewhere you can’t find me I swear!”
” Then I will hunt you down, tie you and then take you away with me. ” he said blankly and I fumed up in blazing anger.
Oh yeah!!?
” Well good luck with that as this city is very vast. I will wander off to any random corner after an hour of your departure, you’ll never know. I will leave my phone here too. I will leave all possible clues here and go.”
I stated blazing up and his face fell, his eyes glazing up as he stared at me in disbelief.
” Jennie don’t act like a kid! You think this is all a joke to you? I’ll be at 7pm-”
” 10pm. Take it or leave it……”
” What did you say…? You be at 7-”
” 11 pm…” I added blankly tapping my feet.
” Are you ki-”
” 1 am……
” Have you gon-”
” Tomorrow 6 a-”
” OKAY FINE 9 pm!!!! …… I will be there! Be ready.” He looked at me amused and pissed at the same time and I smiled cheekily at him.
” OKAY 9 pm settles down!!!! Bye Vincent! Thanks for the ride…… ” I chirped out joyously and gave a bone crushing hug to him trying to tease him but ironically he didn’t push me off, not even revolting a little.
His ears were red as I drew back from him, a faint blush creeping on his cheek. Is it because I gave him a bone crushing hug?
He looked away immediately, his ear going even more red, scratching his head cutely as he caught me staring at him amused.
He didn’t even utter a word as he dashed inside the car abruptly and drove off rendering me speechless.
Heh…… is he embarrassed???
How did that b*tch Eva abandon such a cute puppy like him. I wonder what he actually was in the past……
The message popped in and it was Alex. I held my shrug tightly and walked off the road to meet her in the given location.
I strode out of the lane and walked near the bus stop which Alex had sent.
I found Alex waving at me as she found me. She was wearing a black hoodie and a grey pants, giving her a boyish look.
Nobody could tell that she was actually a girl and not a boy. I waved back at her and ran towards her.
” Alex!!” I hugged her tightly chirping out. ” You have no idea how bored I was in my room and you saved me like an angel.”
She chuckled out eye smiling at me.
” Would you like to come to my house? We’ll buy some food items and I will cook a special dish for you …… or do you want to go some restaurant.”
” Neh…… not restaurant. Let’s go to your house. We’ll cook and watch a movie together? Does it sound good??” I smiled at her, my eyes twinkling and she nodded and we started walking together.
” Do you live with your parents or alone?” I asked her curiously as we walked.
” I live with my mother…… but due to her jobs she has to travel many places. ” She kind of stammered, her tone shaking.
” Oh really…… what does she do?” I don’t know I should ask her more about her or not but I was so curious to know her as she looked so much in pain.
” Umm…… some marketing stuffs, you wouldn’t know all that. She travels a lot…… so I’m almost alone in my house…… most of the time.”
” It’s been a month now…… so you can say I almost live independently.” She sounded little low, I didn’t know why and I didn’t ask further sensing the sensitive topic.
Maybe judging by her answer either maybe she just has mother but not father…… or she has but not in good terms. There were many possibilities but I didn’t wanted to upset her too by asking.
We walked to a small shopping mart and bought some food items and groceries, chatting together, dissing the university, the system and the people we hated as we crossed the bridge.
We were walking through the streets and I could see many building, it was more like a crowded colony.
But I didn’t feel awkward or disgusted because I was no rich lad either. It was a common surrounding to me too.
We entered a dead silent area and there were many conjusted buildings. It more looked like a haunted street with many houses to be exact.
But that’s how a buildings are in this city of a common local streets, so I just walked merrily with her.
We climbed so much stairs of a building and I guess we were going to her room. But I couldn’t see a single soul walking around.
It looked more like a old building type, but who care…… less the neighbors around, less the headache.
She opened the lock and we both entered together. Well it wasn’t small as I expected it to be…… it was quite spacious with a big hall, and a room and other requirements…… but there were many packed goods.
Maybe she wasn’t lying about her mother’s occupation after all. She looked at me hesitantly, her cheeks little red like she was shy.
” The place is kind of shabby and the surrounding around I live in… it may be inappropriate for y-”
” No no…… I’m no special girl…… Don’t you know I’m famous in university as a village trash girl? A poor girl, feel free and don’t be shy. ” I joked smacking her shoulder chucking so that she doesn’t feel embarrassed.
I heaved a relief walking in further
” Actually I’m super glad you are my type…… I was so scared thinking you were also them but you are not!”
” Among them?????” Alex asked me with anxious tone.
” Rich lads…… I’m so fed up of them as I’m surrounded only by them. I almost feel like a alien there…… and I just cannot breathe on my own. But now I’m super happy seeing all this…” I chirped out twirling around.
” Don’t mind me if I keep visiting this place regularly to chill out and spend my most of the time here. ” I chirped out twirling around happily.
” Of course! You’re always welcome here! ” She smiled widely for the first time, her mood beaming up making me freez in my place, finding myself awing her.
” What about you …… what does your parents do??” She asked me as we unwrapped the things we brought.
” Mine? My papa is a steel labourer and my mom is a homemaker. ” I said without any hesitation, smiling at her.
I never felt embarrassed talking about my parents. I was never ashamed of my father’s job or being poor.
Because they are the one who work hard and raise us dedicating their whole life for us, not these vicious, judging society. Why live according to them?
I would slam my chest proudly and stand firmly without being embarrassed or without giving a f*** to people who had a problem with that and discriminate us, like that bastard Vincent.
She smiled at me and laced my hand with hers surprising me. ” Let me cook for you then……”
She started to open up as the time passed by all being friendly without showing any sign of hesitation anymore and I loved it. Maybe she was scared too that I would be different.
We prepared fried chicken, cheesy pasta. I arranged the food items and she was finding TV remote.
*Knock Knock*
I heard somebody knock the door and she flinched like hell rendering me speechless. It was just a knock, why did she flinched like that as if she has seen a ghost.
The knocks on the door continued and she grew queasy. I got up deciding to open the door all by myself but she stopped me coming in between.
” I…… I’ll…… op… open it. You st…… stay here.” She stammered and I creased my brows in confusion.
What’s up with her????
She didn’t utter a word as she strode towards it and peeped through the hole. She unlocked the door and suddenly someone barged in making her almost stumble.
What the……!
A tall mid 30’s woman barged in little tension and I grew queasy watching her, my self defense awakening…… but she looked so stylish and rich type…… but most importantly she looked like……
” Mom……” Alex breathed out
