—JENNIFER—Four hours in university felt like four painful, foodless lives and when the last lecture finally was done, I literally ran out of the class as If it was on fire.When I stepped out of the campus with Cally and Celeste on either side of me, Morris was waiting for me in the parking lot near my car. I pressed my lips into a thin, annoying line. “ Ah, how can you even be displeased with this sight?? .” Cally remarked with an awed sigh. “ For real. I would have been on his feet by now.” Celeste agreed, fanning herself. “ Then what are you waiting for??” I gave her a tight lipped smile, pointing towards the feet of Morris. “ If I wasn't already having a bigass crush.” She sighed with a whining expression. I met eyes with Cally and we both whirled to watch him with our ‘tell us right now’ look. “ There's not much to tell. " She saddened her face, helplessly. “ Spit it. Whatever it is. “ I and Cally both spoke up at the same time. “ I saw this man in the Cafe I work. He vi
—JENNIFER—I sat with a huff, watching a big teasing smirk on Christian's face as my dearest mom told him about how I, as a kid, used to sleepwalk in the kitchen and have a full-on chat with the refrigerator. “ She used to assume chocolates were the kids of the refrigerator and would ask to give them to her. “ Dad explained further as if the topic was so very important to be left out. Muttering incoherent words under my breath I stuffed my mouth with the chocolate cake.“ So basically she was a child eater.” Cally laughed from across me and Mom and Dad joined her. I aimed a spoon at her which she, of course, dodged.“ Will you guys stop it?? “ I growled, making them laugh even more and I huffed again. “ In that sense, she still is. “ It was Christian this time and when I turned to glare at him he passed me a full blown smile, flashing his dimples so that I wouldn't be able to glare at him. We were already done with the main course and were having the desert. Which definitely tu
—JENNIFER—The moment car was parked in the society, I climbed off without uttering a word and headed for the lift without looking back. Thankfully, the elevator doors were closed before he could reach. Entering inside the penthouse, I directly went inside my room and slammed the door shut. Velvet startled at first but then, she ran towards me and jumped in my stretched arms, licking my fingers. I, in return, kissed her nose and head for various times forgetting the anger bubbling inside me. I had researched enough about ragdolls and since they can live almost twenty four hours alone just with a perfect settlement of their needed things, then it wouldn't be a problem for them to be on their own.Changing into my night clothes, I slipped under my blanket and didn't realise when playing with Velvet, sleep engulfed me. Next morning I ignored Christian all the way, even skipped breakfast so that I didn't have to face him and headed out. In another five minutes, I was in the parking l
—JENNIFER—“ Does it even matter?? When at the end you are going to do whatever you please.” I asked, staring at him with a mocked smile. He didn't answer for a moment and just stared back. “Alright. Tell me, what do you want me to do? “ He asked. “ I just want you to stop controlling my life. “ I said, making him frown. “ I did no such thing. “ His expressions hardened. “ Oh really?? Then how would you explain planting Morris on my head twenty four seven?? “ I huffed, raising a brow. “ I told you that's only for your safety.” He answered, Immediately. “ Oh cut it, please. I'm not someheir to a real estate that people would waste their time on me. ” I failed my hands in exaggeration. “ You don't understand that.” He gave me a hard look. “ I understand very well. You just want to ensure that I don't do anything stupid and stay in line. “ I said, bitterly. “ I. Said. That. Is. Not. True. Princess.” His jaws clenched and clamped my mouth shut immediately. We both fell into a
—JENNIFER— “ What?? “ I laughed in surprise at Mary's words as she told me about how her five years old elder daughter informed them about being in love with some Jack boy. “ Yes!! And when I asked if she loves Jack more or daddy. She answered Jack. “ “ Damn. The father must have had a heartbreak. “ I giggled, picking another grape from the bowl in my hand. “ A massive one!! “ We both giggled again. Just then the footsteps fade in and my giggles died down as Christian stood in the entrance of the kitchen with his coat jacket hanging on his forearm. His eyes directly stopped on me, making me forget to breathe for a moment. It took me some seconds to contain myself. Pressing my lips into a thin angry line to make it very visible that I'm still angry with him, I looked away. From the corner of my eye, I caught him smirking before exiting the kitchen. Mary cleared her throat and I looked up at her, only to find her smirking at me with a raised brow. “ So?? Not on talking terms ag
—JENNIFER— Thankfully, I caught her sight before Christian could. When her eyes caught me, she opened her mouth and I knew what was coming. Before she could give her happy ‘meow’ I started coughing hysterically. Christian looked up at me instantly and placed his laptop on the table. “ W-Wa…ter!! “ I choked. Damn!! My acting skills are lit. He quickly reached for the glass of water on the table and hurried towards me. I glanced behind him at the Velvet who was in no mood of stopping, she even sped up. I coughed with even more intensity and choked out the words. “ N-Not… . Y-oura.. S… “ He glared at me “ Drink the damn water, Jennifer!! “ He growled trying to make me drink but I pushed the glass away from my mouth. “ F…ro.m kitch..n. “ I checked again. Mumbling something about me being a stubborn brat, he hurried out of the room. As soon as the door closed behind him I ran towards Velvet. “ You little spawn of the devil! “ Grabbing her in my arms while she licked my hands, I r
—JENNIFER —“ HeLlo JeNniFer!! CaN wE mEeT ?? “ I frowned reading the text and when I could recognize the number, I decided to text back. “ I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you?? ” I typed pressed the send icon. The reply was almost immediate. “ MicHaeL here!! ChrIsTiaN's CouSiN?? “My mouth formed into an ‘O’, remembering then I frowned again. Why on earth does he want to meet me? “ Why do you want to meet ME?? “ I sent another message. “ I nEed YouR heLp. PleAse!” Came his reply. I contemplated for a moment before reply to him with an ‘Okay’ but only at the condition of him coming to my decided place. Choosing the nearest cafe that I've known for some time now, I informed him and took a bus for myself. When I reached there, Michael was already there, sitting at the table.Reaching near him, I cleared my throat to grab his attention and he immediately looked up at me.“ Hey!! “ He flashed me a big smile which I reciprocated nervously. “ Hey!! “ I answered, taking the chair op
—CHRISTIAN—“ Jessica Bell !!” I gritted my teeth seeing the woman, walking in my office as If her father owns the place. “ Hello love!! Missed me.” She gave a slutty smile as she settled herself on my table in front of me. “ What are you doing here?? “ I was barely keeping myself from ripping her throat out. “ I came to see you.” She bent down deliberately, trying to give me a view of her cleavage but my eyes were busy boring a hole into her forehead. “ You've got to be too shameless to show your filthy face to me.” I spat bitterly. “ Ah, how much I've missed this crispy anger of yours.” With a widened smirk, her hand reached to trace my face but I caught her wrist mercilessly before she could even touch me. “ Ah!! “ Her whine didn't affect me the way it used to five years ago. “ Chris! “ Her using my nickname fueled my anger and my hold tightened around her wrist, definitely bruising her. “ Do. Not. Call. My. Name. From. Your. Filthy. Mouth.” I growled at her, making her eyes
