Jenna groaned and rolled onto her back. Why does her head hurt like it was being hit by bricks all the time? She slowly opened her eyes, thankful that the curtains were still closed, and sat up, holding her head. "Drink this," a voice said, making Jenna scream at the top of her lungs. Lily and Jenna looked at each other wide-eyed. "You scared me," Jenna said, her breath catching in her throat. "Sorry?" Lily said, more like a request. Jenna rolled her eyes, which was a bad thing because her head was starting to hurt again. "How did I get here?" She asked, holding her head with both hands. The last thing she remembered was going to the club with Emily and her boyfriend, Jacob. "You were drunk last night, miss." Lily's stern voice rang in Jenna's ears. "How bad?" Jenna asked quietly. "If I count doing a lap dance on a chair and throwing water on Taylor and calling him the Hulk. It was pretty bad," she said in an amused tone. "Taylor?" Jenna asked. Lily nodded. Jenna g
Jenna sighed. "Is she really my twin sister?" she asked. Jenna knew because last night, before she got really drunk, she got a message from an unknown number that turned out to be Alexa's number. And that's when Alexa explained that they were twins. She also told her how they got separated and that her parents actually knew that Alexa was Sean's ex-girlfriend who had died when her father used Jenna as collateral for his loan to Sean. Whether it was true that they were twins or not, Jenna thought she had to deal with it. So she wanted to clear the air. "You know that?" Esther asked. "Yes," Jenna replied. "Alexa called and told me everything." "She did?" Esther was wide-eyed. "Yes, and I want to talk to her." "So what do you think?" "I don't want to force Sean to stay by my side. He was Alexa's in the first place, and I'll probably give him back to her." "But why?" asked Esther frustrated. "I love him. Really, I love him, but I can't keep him in this relationship because I was
The fresh, cool air gently caressed Jenna's face, causing her to close her eyes in bliss. The sound of the wind, the background music and the scent of the fresh air soothed her nerves. She opened her eyes and looked up at the dark and starry sky above her, the huge full moon shining down on her. It was the one thing you didn't have to do anything to fall in love with. Music can soothe some people, dancing can soothe some people, but the cozy feeling that nature can give you, nothing can. It makes you forget all your worries and makes you feel happy and safe. Just like Jenna feels right now. Just this afternoon she met Alexa in person, and it's true, they looking at each other is like looking in a mirror. They are identical twins with almost no differences except for the way they dress. This afternoon, Esther had been sarcastic, which made Alexa feel uncomfortable, and in truth, Alexa had said so many things that made Jenna feel sick, and made her feel that she was really just a sub
"Why Do We Have To Be So Awkward?" Sean asked, their lips too close together. "Sean, I want us to keep our distance for a while. I think we've talked about this before," Jenna said hesitantly. Sean couldn't resist kissing her and Jenna let him for a few moments before he finally let her go. "Let's go get breakfast," Jenna said and quickly ran out of her room. Downstairs, Lily was busy setting the table for breakfast. The table looked beautiful for a foodie like her with bacon, pancakes, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, bread, butter and toast with coffee and a bottle of juice. "Wow, it feels like I'm having a breakfast party," Jenna muttered. "Well, it's your first day at work, so I thought I'd give you a choice," Lilly shrugged. Jenna sat down in her chair, picked up some pancakes and bacon on her plate, and began to munch. "I like chocolate chip pancakes," she said as she devoured them. "Very good," Sean commented as he sat in the main chair. Sarah and Esther ar
Jenna's fingers are sore from typing all day. Lucy, the secretary, is on vacation, leaving a lot of unfinished work. Jenna has typed and sent emails and replied to 5 invitations with excuses. She has 3 more emails to write and is very tired. Her butt was sore from sitting in that chair for the last 4 hours. She took a deep breath and started typing again, not noticing the darkness covering the sky outside. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even hear the sound of footsteps until the man approached her desk. The man cleared his throat and Jenna looked up, staring into his regretful blue eyes through his glasses. "It's almost six, honey. Let's go home," Sean said hoarsely. Jenna looked down at her desk and saw the emails that were still pending. She had to finish them today if she wanted her workload to decrease tomorrow. Jenna sighed again and looked at him tired and regretful. "I can't. I still have work to do. You can go. I'll be home as soon as my work is do
The next day. "I can't do this," Jenna whispers to herself, taking two steps back. "No, I have to do it," she encouraged herself and stepped forward. She frowned as she once again questioned her actions. Ester just sat on Olivia's bed while Jenna dressed Oliver on the other side. Sean's sister noticed Jenna's actions and made a noise. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Jenna sighed, knowing that she had to do this if she really wanted to know how Sean would react to Alexa when they were close again. After all, wasn't it Sean who had told Alexa that he had to go to a charity event today? It seemed like in his heart of hearts, he really wanted to go with his ex-girlfriend, right? So Jenna dialed her number and waited for the phone to ring. Finally, on the fourth ring, Alexa answered. "Hello sister," Alexa chirped. "Hi, I thought you were going out with Sean tonight," Jenna said hesitantly. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, he has to go to a charity event anyway and he needs a woman
"Good luck." Jenna smiled sweetly. Sean sighed and walked out, looking back to see her waving with the same smile on her face. How could someone's smile comfort you and hurt you at the same time? Usually that smile looked so pleasant, but today that smile made Sean feel angry, ... and very bad at the same time. Sean pushed these thoughts aside and finally stepped outside to take a last look at his room. Instead of her smiling face, a brown wooden door greeted him. He sighed in disappointment and all the uncomfortable feelings he had almost forgotten came back. He swallowed and thought about the first day he saw Alexa. Back then, Alexa was a teenage girl with brown hair in pigtails, a hint of pink on her cheeks, and she wore a white shirt. She worked as a waitress at the cafe where Sean used to hang out with his friends. From that moment on, Sean was attracted to her. Sweet, innocent little Alexa. He didn't know when this little attraction would turn into love. He always tried to
Jenna awoke to the sunlight shining on her face, warming her. She pulled the blanket over her head and turned her back to the sun as it tried to rouse her from her slumber. She was almost back to sleep when a disturbing noise woke her up. Luckily, her alarm was already off or she would have killed it herself. Now that her sleep had been disturbed, it would be difficult to go back to sleep, so she didn't try. She awoke lethargically, rubbed her sleepy eyes, lowered her feet to the floor, and lifted her butt off the bed. Last night she had been too lazy to wear pants, so she slept in a loose t-shirt that only reached to her butt. She went to the bathroom and did her routine, changed into shorts and a tank top, and went downstairs for breakfast. There, Sean and the kids were sitting at the end of the table cutting up apples, and Jenna sat next to him and said, "Good morning." Sean just nodded because his mouth was full. "Good morning, Mom." Olivia and Oliver kiss Jenna. "We're
Jenna dusts off her sundress. She puts on flat shoes, applies lip gloss, and smiles at her appearance. She looks perfect. She's so excited about this vacation that just seeing the word "vacation" makes her happy. "Jenna," Lily calls as she comes into her room. "Umm?" Jenna answers, meeting her halfway. "Someone's looking for you downstairs," she says as she leaves the room and Jenna follows. "Carter," Jenna says with a broad smile. His blue eyes look up at her and sparkle as he recognizes her. He opens his arms and Jenna runs to greet him. Carter was her second best friend after Esther. He always took care of her. And even though he had to transfer schools, he always messaged her on social media to ask how she was doing. "How are you, Jenna?" he asked, looking into her eyes. "I'm good. How are you?" Jenna asks, smiling broadly and showing her pearly white teeth. Carter's hair is dark brown, almost black with a touch of silver. He's always dressed neatly and coolly, typical
Jenna looked at his wide-eyed. Auntie? She hadn't seen one in a long time. "Okay, I'll be right down," she said. "Um, baby." Sean called as Jenna sat down in the vanity chair to blow dry her hair a little. Jenna just mumbled in response. "About the news, I didn't know they realized it wasn't you." Sean tried to explain. "It's okay," Jenna replied casually. She suddenly remembered that Sean and Alexa had been hugging on the news, seemingly on the dance floor. "I bought this for you." The man pulled out a blue box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond necklace. Jenna looked at it and smiled. "For me?" "For you, of course." "Thank you." Jenna took it and put it in the wardrobe. "You're not wearing it?" Sean looked disappointed. Jenna smiled understandingly. "It's too fancy to wear every day. I only wear it for special occasions. But I really like it." "Okay." Sean smiled too, and when Jenna's hair was dry enough, she went downstairs to meet her aunt. They walked do
