Jennifer's deal

Richard's POV:

I watched as Kevin storms out of the coffee shop, Jennifer looks at the place he seated a while ago. Ben walked towards me . He is worried about his cousins. Everytime Ben offers to help, Jennifer pushes him away and others for that matter.

I know it's about her elder brother death. Kayden Giamatti passed away four years ago. Everybody wants to know what happened to him. His parents covered his death so that paparazzi and the police noone know what happened. Ben knows but she didn't tell anyone. As for Jennifer , she gets angry and lashes out then broke down whenever it was brought up .

I know it's hard to lose someone you love .she went to the extreme level of self destruction in her sorrow. But then I don't know her. I don't particularly care about her but her little brother and her parents. They all want her to go to the Kayden's grave and talk but she refuses to go. I know only this much by the phone calls of her mom begging her to go ,even her father . She rejects it every time and shuts herself in her room rest of the day.

To be honest, I think she's selfish . She appears like she's tough and cold but  the truth she is hurt. Everyone can see it. Like her, her parents are also hurting . With her pushing them away, it's like they have lost the daughter along the way with the son.

Unlike my parents, her parents are making an effort to be with her.

After five odd minutes, Jennifer stood up and started to walk away from the shop. She's probably going to get drunk and high as usual.

" Should I go after her?" Ben asked me.

" No, let her be on her own. It's no use as she is going to push you away anyway" I replied. He nodded and went back to the counter. He also works in the coffee shop so that he can keep track of Jennifer.

" So when is your girlfriend coming?" He asked . I smiled and replied " if everything goes smoothly, she will be coming out next month." I can't wait to see her.

I used to go to the parties regularly while Hannah is with me. After she was taken away, I had no intention to party. Jennifer used to throw parties whenever she is in the mood. Looks like she's in that kinda mood today. As  Ben and I entered , loud music was blasting from the speaker and some friends of Jennifer from our college are here having booze and enjoying themselves.

Her bestfriend Nick is seen with two girls grinding on him. He  seems to be enjoying it. That's not a nice sight.

As we looked around the mess, Cindy came to us. Cindy is the only one different from the others of her gang. She's innocent and kind one. She doesn't mess around with guys.

Ben enquired about Jennifer to which Cindy replied that she saw her just a while ago . Ben then announced that the party was over and send everyone out. He then asked me to check Jennifer's room if any people are in there. He went to check his room and mine while Cindy left to her house.

I hesitated a bit but entered Jennifer's room which I haven't done all these years. Her room is dark like her mysterious character. What I saw next shocked me to the core.

Jennifer was crying sitting in the middle of her bed.

She looks beautiful even while crying. Appearances are just bonus. With 5'7" height model like body as her mom who is an actress . She's freaking goddess . Her father is also an actor and a producer.

I really liked like Jennifer when I first moved in. She is different from the other girls and is of the lonely type. I sort of had an attraction towards her. But it changed on one weekend when she returned drink and high with a guy. That did it.

I don't care what she does but I don't like the way she treats them after she's done. She plays with their emotions and hurts people. Not only that she's abusing her own body by getting drunk and high.

My brother Michael is a drug addict. My page know it but they act as if they are oblivious of that. They thought Michael is easy to handle while he's on high. They are still ignorant to the fact that he is addicted and needs help. So, I don't like people taking drugs .

She sat there motionless only her sobs can be heard. I went near her and pat her shoulder. She was lost. That's when I came to her front and looked at her eyes. Her eyes are bloodshot red. She's high.

"You get high and then You wonder why I don't like you?" I spat angrily withdrawing my hands on her. I turned to walk towards the door but she grabbed my hand and made me stop.

" Is it because of what you think I do that you don't like me?"  She asked me. Ofcourse, the way she behaves with others matters. She's selfish if I may say. But I didn't say anything.

She stood up and came close to me. My heart starts to beat faster and I am nervous as hell. I didn't have any girl this close other than Hannah. We are almost face to face. Panicking I took a step back, she came forward again . This time she made sure her breasts pushed against mine.

Oh god! Not again.

I took a step back for each step she took. Soon my back hit her door. Sshe closed the door and place her hands on my cheeks pulling me closer.

" I don't like you, Jennifer. I don't like the way you treat others, I don't like that you." I could tell that she can easily see through my lie by the response of my body. I agree that I am attracted to her but I am not going to accept it. Maybe it's lust. I will stick with I don't like Jennifer.

" You talk too much Ric!" With that she placed her lips on mine. I felt euphoria.I nibbled on her lip and she opened her mouth for my tongue to enter. I grabbed her back with my hands pushing her to the bed with me. I don't know what took over me. She flipped us over and smirked.

She removed her black shirt revealing her black bra . I am getting turned on by her actions. She then went to take off her pants .

My hands now has mind of their own roaming her body shamelessly. It's been a year since I got laid off. I am in need than her . I started to get aggressive .

At this moment, it looks like I am the one in control and she let me do as I please. We kissed again and again. I lost count of it.

I can't believe I am about to have sex with her. But she pulled me to her and cuddles to sleep.

***

I woke up to someone shaking me. " Ben, let me sleep for five minutes. Then I will get ready " I said without opening my eyes.

" Ben is gone. Wake up or else you gonna be late ." Jennifer said with q smirk. That's when I realised that I am sleeping in her bed.

" I will be outside. Come soon." She left . I got ready and we both came down to the garage of the building. Mostly all cars are hers.

" If you want , I can drop you. Else you can catch the bus " she said. I am glad that she didn't bring up what happened yesterday night.

I am about to open the backdoor of car but she stopped saying " I am not your chaffeur" . I had to sit in the  front next to her .

While driving, she asked me" do you still think the same about me?"

" Just because you offered me a ride , I can't like you. You're still the same and I still don't like you, Jennifer" I said as I listened to the songs on her playlist. She took the other road instead of the one that takes to the university .

" Hey, you're going wrong way. " I said but she remained silent.

" Ben will be looking for us." I tried to talk sense into her .

" Ben's gone " she replied again . Before I could fathom her words, Ben called me.

" Richard, I am sorry man. I had to leave early morning itself. My dad is undergoing a treatment and my mom called me . So I am in my way to Italy. I will call you once I reach there. are You in college ?" He spoke.

Not wanting to add his concern , I replied yes and ended the call. She drove us to a icecream parlour.

" Why do you bring me here?" I asked her .

" Let's talk over a icecream." She said and went to the nearby icecream stall.

She returned with a vanilla icecream and chocolate icecream offering me the former.

" How do you know it's my favourite?" I asked while taking the vanilla ice cream from her.

" I am not like you think. I pay attention to people. But vanilla is just a guess. I mean who doesn't like vanilla." She replied .

" When is your girlfriend coming?" She asked me air quoting girlfriend.

" In a month. "

" Is she okay with you kissing other girls?" She asked with a smirk. I blushed.

" it's not we are in relationship. She broke up with me when she left .if we still have feeling for each other when she comes back, we can get together. I haven't touched any girl . It's been years "

" It's a lie as your hands were all over me yesterday" she said blatantly causing me blush again.

" Yesterday was exception." I shook my head . I still can't believe I did it. Atleast she was drunk and high but me . I was sober.

" Actually I came to you with a proposal. If in a month , you make me fall in love with you, you can take the apartment and live there as long as you wish with rent decided by you. I will move out with a broken heart ." She said as if it's no big thing.

" What will you get by this?" I couldn't believe myself that I am considering it.

" The satisfaction of proving you wrong and see your face as you  slowly fall in love with me and I can be in a lovable relationship if I wants. Besides I am bored. I want to try these sappy romantic things to know whether it's what it said . Also  I am too easy to love. " She stated.

" Why should I  agree?" I asked her. I couldn't believe it just because she was bored she wanted to try this kind of dangerous stuff .

" well you are a psychology student. Deep down you want that. You want to change someone's life for good. Also if you manage to mend my ways , you can prided yourself . You can show me in my face that I can't have everything. You hate me . So it shouldn't be a problem." She explained.

Do I need to agree to this deal?
