I settled at the back of the car and Zain settled on his side. Mum Tasha and Moris stood by the side and watched me. I smiled at them and waved. "Mom see you soon, we will get in touch on the phone"I said and Zain drove out of our compound with my memories behind. I knew I was definitely going to miss my neighborhood. I have literally grown up here and have never left here for a long while, this is my first time, more like the second time I am leaving here. The first time I left was just for a while but I didn't feel like this because I didn't have anything to worry about. Now I have something to worry about and that is being under the same roof with Zain, my worst nightmare, someone that chose my sister over me, my ex-boyfriend and now my sister's husband. The guy my heart could not stop beating for, the guy who does something to my soul, the guy who knows the right button to press when it comes to me. This guy, though he doesn't love me but I love him very much with everyth
I dragged my luggage inside the house with this feeling at the button of my stomach. I can almost feel my heart beating. I don't know what I was afraid of, that my sister would think less of me for coming to stay with her or that she would get to know that Zain is my ex. Whatever it is, I just hope I can cope with it while I am here My sis was sitting on the couch when I arrived inside the house with her face glued on her phone and her tummy portrayed. Zain was not with her and I was wondering where he had gone. Was he not supposed to be with her after being away from her for one day? My heart warmed up at the sight of her. No matter what I feel, she is family and she is meant to be treated as such. The house structure was that of ours back home, with not much difference. "Hi sis"She looked up at the sound of my voice and smiled "Look at you, looking so big and pretty. The last time I saw you, you were all bones" I glared at her. What she said was not necessary. Sh
I mastered courage and faced him after doing a breathing contest for a while. "Sorry to bother you but please can you kindly show the way to Susan's bedroom?""What made you think I know her bedroom?"He asked instead of answering me. It was good for a start, at least he didn't snub me. "I don't know, just have the feeling you might know. After all, you live here in the same house with her?"I replied to him. He chuckled and looked away after crossing his legs "Well, find her. I am not here to aid anybody."He said dismissively I rolled my eyes at the level of his arrogance, his rudeness is top-notch. "I don't blame him, if I'm not here, will I see him to ask for anything, talk more of tolerating his excesses."I muttered and walked out in search of the bedroom. After going through a series of doors, I found the one I felt was hers and made to knock when I heard someone moan. I brought my ears closed to the door and it was Susan moaning. She is making out with Zain. I f
After I was done talking with her, I called Mom and believe me, mom did not wait for it to ring before she picked it up. It was more like she was waiting anxiously for me to call. "Hi, Mom!""Sweetheart, I was waiting for you to call. What took you so long? I already called Zain and he said you both had an uneventful Journey still I was dying to hear from you" "I am sorry mom for not calling earlier. I am good though and Susan is fine"I said with the hope she would calm down. She sounded as if she was on the verge of panicking. "I am glad you are my dear. Just don't forget that your stay there is for a short while.""I won't forget, take care of yourself. I have got to go now. Love you" "Love you, baby girl"She said and the call went off.I dropped the phone and went to arrange my clothes in the closet in anticipation of the money for shopping being brought to me. I was lost in my environment to notice a second party in my room. I turned around when I felt uncomfo
Jenny's point of view... I got to the car and entered. I was aware of his stares on me but I don't give a damn about it anyway. I settled in and gestured for him to move the car and he did wordlessly. I did not get to see Reben Castle on our way here because I was asleep and I can tell you that what I am seeing, I am impressed with it. The hood is calm but there is no way I will compare it to my neighborhood. I kept looking out through the glass, just to get my mind occupied, away from Zain. His thoughts refused to leave my mind and I am not finding it funny. He can't stay in my mind when I can't have him. He has no right to remain in my head. If it's going to be this way for me then I would go insane before I leave here. I just hope for the will to overcome and not fall and fail my sister because it will hurt her if eventually I do not control myself and have an affair with her husband. Who in his or her right sense would do that? But then love makes you do insane things.
We said nothing to each other ever again. He picked all that he thought we needed and made his way to the counter as I followed him behind. On our way to the counter, I saw this dude looking my way. I thought of something and I decided to shoot my shot. Instead of continuing with Zain, I walked to him and smiled. "Hello handsome, I see you looking my way. My name is Jenny and I like you"The guy chuckled and shook his head. "You bold and I like it, I am Lucas," He said checking me out"You have got a nice name, it suits you anyway. Nice to meet"I complimented him with a wide smile on my face. "I must say the same thing about you, you look pretty and bold and I must say you are my spec. What would you say if we became friends?" He asked with a wide grin."I like the sound of that, we are friends then" I replied, maintaining the smile on my face. I gave him my phone and he keyed in his digits and afterwards, handed the phone back to me. "So tell me, are you just arrivi
Jenny's point of view…. Slapping him was all I could think of when he pushed me into his car. Though he did it gently, it was not nice at all. Pushing a lady is not an ideal thing and for that, I wanted to give him my piece of mind then I remembered he is looking for what will make me say something to him. I am sure my silent treatment has been tailing him. I got settled and ignored him totally after telling myself how I will deal with him if he tries that with me again. I felt suffocated and doing anything to take my mind off Zain was worth my time so I called Moris and the dude had to allow me to call him twice before he was able to pick up. If he did not pick, I could have continued calling him. "Hey boo! you didn't even call to check on me. Is that how a good boyfriend should do?"I said while I eyed Zain. He clutched his hand on the steering which means he is pissed off. "Sorry darling, got busy but I was gonna call you anyway. How are Reben Castle and your siste
Jenny's point of view…. We got home and I ran out of the car without getting the shopping bags. I needed to wash my mouth and it was so urgent. His taste refused to leave my mouth and I could not bear it. I ran into Owen who brushed me aside without saying anything yet I muttered sorry as I ran into my room. I got to my room and searched for my toothbrush. I saw it and I rushed Into the bathroom to brush off Zain's taste in my mouth. I got done quickly and breathed in relief after checking my mouth to see if it was still there as if his breath is visible My stomach growled and I remembered that I had to eat and that will be after cooking which will take up to an hour. I just hope he brought in those bags. I left my room almost immediately. When I got to the kitchen, the bags were lying carelessly on the counter with no one insight. Since I just arrived, I would not know what Susan will be having. You know, pregnant women and trouble are friends. I left to ask her
