CHAPTER 6

→Three days later←

             ☾ ° Jennifer' POV° ☽

           ✯  In canteen ✯ 

"Damn!!" Edward lands on the seat right next to me, exhausted cause we're having regular classes since morning without any break. I chuckle at his behavior but leans over the table on which my tray of food laid. "Eat lazy man,"  I tease him and grab hold of my strawberry milk to put the straw in it, and sip on it.  "I'm not lazy I'm just lacking energy on a daily basis." he pouts and moves towards his own food. " Hey look what I took for you," he holds a banana up, smiling at me as Jacob frowned at him. 

         

       "Me? Why? I point my finger at myself, wondering what is wrong with him today to say that." Every day at school you bring an apple to eat and I'm tired of seeing you rejecting the Banana which is good for your health, so please, 

Jennifer, he grabs my hand to turn it upside down and lay the fruit on the palm of it. "Eat my Banana." 

        Jacob instantly bursts into tears of laughter, finding this funny. I slap the back of Edward's head but chuckle from embarrassment. "I don't want it." 

        "Come on! I paid for you!! You told me you like Banana some days ago but don't eat them because of pervs!" he tries to play it innocent, making his offended face at me. He's right, I can't say otherwise. I remember I told him about this the day he moved into my home. 

   

     I take the freaking banana in my hand, feeling like I'm forced to eat it since he paid for it and won't change his mind. I pull the peel down and take a bite. "Are you happy now?"

       "Yes," he grins and digs into his own food like a little satisfied kid. "You're sexy when eating that though...." Jacob mumbles, lowering his eyes once my eyes set on him. "Ya. Do you want it in your buttocks?" 

        "Huh...." he raises his head up to grimace at me. "No thanks, I don't want Taehyung Banana in my ass." 

      I cackled uncontrollably at his words but peaks at Edward who dropped his chopsticks down on his tray abruptly. "I'm gonna fucking vomit." 

         "You shouldn't have talked that way." I sneer but elbow the table to glance away while eating my food. All the students are here in the canteen to eat lunch with the teachers. 

      Against my will my eyes fell upon Timothy, staring at me with a deep look into his eyes. As if I'm the only person in here with him. I bite on the Banana but pull it out of my mouth at the same moment that I divert my eyes from him. He keeps on gazing at me as if we were both a couple, he keeps on making everything to drive me away from Edward once we're getting too close In his opinion. He doesn't even care about the way that it affects me. 

                   As I looked back at Jacob in front of us, I noticed from the corner of my eyes that Timothy stood up, I avoid gazing at him but still see him passing by our table, his hands in the pockets of his tight trousers, his head towards the bathroom and enters it. No matter what he tried to do with his hands, I still discerned a bulge in his pants.

I was right this not love, this just only some lust.

°❤️° At night°❤️°

               

The silence of the night is now over me in my room only filled with me and the memories of Timothy which makes me cry all night. I crying trying to forget him, his touch, his talk. My phone buzz I take it away from under my pillow and I noticed I received a message from Edward. 

      "< Are you sleeping?? > Eddie"

       "[ Eddie I'm awake...]" I tell to him

   

     " < Come into my room I want to sleep with you since we are in the same house > Eddie"

            "[ Sleep with me!!!!!!!!!!! ]" 

      "< Just kidding you dirty girl, come here I have something to tell you... > Eddie"

         

        "[ you should have been clear from the beginning though! I'm coming now]" I get up and wash my face before going to his room.

I go to his room and knock on the door, he opens the door."Can I come in?" I smile

A smirk playing onto his lips before he's moving out of the way...

I steps into his room and noticed the dim lighting. 

"W- What is this Eddie?" My smile growing into a huge grin as I stare at the candles and fairy lights that are shining in the room. 

"It's to make your mood light." He licks his lips and approaches me.

"What do you mean Eddie?" I ask him confusedly.

"I heard you were crying in your room and it's not just today, we cried every night to I wanted to make you smile...." He says looking into my eyes.

Damn, he really knows how to make me smile, I get emotional and hug him tightly. He pats my back hesitatingly. 

     "Don't cry my cupcake look what I got for you." I look up at his face still hugging him. He points at the guitar which is on the couch. He grabs my wrist and pulls me down to sit on the couch beside him.

      "Do you know how to play the guitar?" He raises his eyes and asks me. 

    I just shake my head and deny it.

    "It's okay I can teach you, and I also know a song which will make you sleep without crying" He smiles lightly, come closer to me, and gives me his guitar.

      "Eddie I really don't know to play," I tell him honestly.

     "Okay fine, for now just watch me but you have to sing with me, okay?"  he says excitingly.

      He is so happy and looking at me with pleading eyes so that I can't deny him. And I say "Okay."

He clears his throat before singing, he closed his eyes and start singing...... 

      

"On my pillow

Can't get me tired

Sharing my fragile truth

That I still hope the door is open"

         And he opens his eyes meeting my eyes and I chuckle getting shocked by his deep voice and I give him a compliment, "Didn't know you have such beautiful and deep voice..." 

              He laughs in response and says " Now it's your turn madam, sing along with me," I nodded smiling, and start singing along with him...

["Cause the window

Opened one time with you and me

Now my forever' s falling down

Wondering if you'd want me now"] 

     "When he sings this part he looks into my eyes, and I notice something different into his eyes, his eyes are calm but with a certainty, he's holding on to some feeling..."

[How could I know

One day I'd wake up feeling more

But I had already reached the shore

Guess we were ships in the night

Night, night] 

   "He sings this line and shifts his gaze to his guitar, I'm sure he's hiding his tears, I sure I see the glistening into his eyes... but why is he crying??" 

     " I stop singing with him because I wanted to listen to his voice, He closed his eyes, He lost in song...And I'm staring at his face, I notice a drop of tear slipping from the corner of his eye... I hurriedly wipe it, he opens his eyes and smile at me and goes off a smile until the end..." 

[Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

We were ships in the night, night, night

I'm wondering

Are you my best friend

Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind

I wanna ask you

If this is all just in my head

My heart is pounding tonight

I wonder

If you

Are too good to be true

And would it be alright if I

Pulled you closer

How could I know

One day I'd wake up feeling more

But I had already reached the shore

Guess we were ships in the night

Night, night

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

We were ships in the night

Night, night.......] 

     He ends the song and snaps his finger in front of my face and I lost myself in the song that I don't even know I'm staring at him continuously... 

      "Are you alright?" He asks 

I nod licking my lips... 

     He grabs my hands into his and stares into my eyes, "Jenny, you can tell me anything if you want to... I'm always here...." 

     I wanted to tell him my pain, my suffering, everything about Timothy... but I just tell him," Eddie I just wanna sleep." I get up to going into my room but he stops me gripping my wrist...

     "No, I can't let you go into your room, I know you're going to cry once to go into your sleep...." He says firmly. 

       "You, sleep here with me...  Like a friend... I promise I won't do anything with you.... you trust me..... right??" He asks me hesitating

      I keep silent for a few seconds but agree because I feel so safe whenever he's around me... He's my best friend who always makes me comfortable. 

      He giggles getting my positive response, he drags me to his bed... I don't know what to do and he notices my nervousness. " Just lay down

Jennifer remember I promised I won't do anything, you can hug me if you want to...." and he lays down... He taps onto the side of the bed beside him gesturing me to lay down. I bite onto my lower lips and smile... I lay down and he took one of my hands from under my neck and hugged me. I can feel my heartbeat increasing by his touch but I feel secure so I close my eyes and snuggle with him.
