Jenny & Jay - Volume 2
Jenny & Jay - Volume 2
After the breakup...
Johnny Simmons thrives on competition—whether in the pool, in playful bets, or in charming his way through life. He’s used to being in control, but when Jane Shepperd enters his world, she proves to be an unexpected challenge.
Assigned to his study group, Jane is sharp, unfiltered, and unimpressed by his usual charm. Their first real interaction is filled with witty banter, subtle tension, and a clash of personalities that leaves Johnny both frustrated and intrigued.
Jenny & Jay - Volume 2 is the second installment in a five-novel New Adult series, following the lives of five childhood friends—Johnny Simmons, Paul, Brian, Aaron, and Daryl—all competitive swimmers bound by their deep friendship and relentless drive to win. While romance plays a central role, this is not a simple on-again, off-again love story; instead, the series explores the evolving relationships, rivalries, and personal growth of these young men as they navigate life, love, and ambition.

Chapter: Chapter 30.02The next morning, as usual, I woke up earlier than she did. I made an omelet, careful not to over-salt it—so I added nothing at all.“Good morning, birthday girl,” I said when she woke up and I arrived with a tray of omelet.“Good morning, Messyhair,” she smiled. “Did you make this?” She accepted the omelet.“Yes,” I said proudly. “This time, it’s definitely not salty.”“Thank you,” she said, eating without another word.“So? How is it?” I asked.“Much better than last time,” she said, giving me a soft kiss. “What’s the plan for today?”“I’m taking you somewhere you’ll love,” I replied.“What should I wear?”“Your favorite outfit,” I teased.After breakfast, she dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. I drove her to a small stadium just outside the ci

Chapter: Chapter 30.01I spent the following week with Uncle Steve, seeing Jenny only at dinner each evening. On Friday, I asked the old man for a few hours off and headed to the hospital to pick up my girlfriend.“Hi,” I greeted the pretty brunette receptionist in her green-and-white coat. “Is Jane Shepherd in?”“Hey,” she smiled. “Yes, she’ll be done with Dr. Tim’s appointment soon. Is it urgent? Should I let her know?”“No need, I’ll wait,” I said. “Do you know them well?”“Who? Dr. Tim or your sister?” she asked.“My sister” I said, won’t spoil the mystery.“Dr. Tim always keeps her busy, but we chat during lunch. She talks about you sometimes, Daniel,” she said, touching my arm lightly.“I assume you’ve heard about our younger brother too,” I continued.“Of course,” she laughed. “

Chapter: Chapter 29.02Daryl had a theory about the cars, but after a few rounds, his experience changed his ranking. He couldn’t decide between two of them, so he took them for extra laps.By the time he finalized his ranking, our rental time was up.Paul returned the keys, we handed back our gear, thanked the instructor, and said goodbye.“Did you like it?” I asked Daryl as we stood by Paul’s car in the parking lot.“Yeah, thank you,” he smiled, shaking hands with everyone. We weren’t the hugging type.Paul drove us to a nearby restaurant where we had reserved a table for dinner.The restaurant was in a neighboring town—elegant but not overly flashy. White walls and light brown tables filled the space, and reservations were confirmed at the counter near the entrance.We were hungry, so we ordered quickly—some got shrimp, others steak.As planned, we split the bill evenly, excluding Daryl.

Chapter: Chapter 29.01After eating, we stopped by Amber’s shop and locked ourselves in our room.“Messyhair, your birthday is the day after tomorrow,” she said, snuggling into me as we rested. “But we won’t see each other that day.”“I know—it’s fine.”“There’ll be a package waiting in your room. I hope you like it.”“If it’s from you, I definitely will,” I said, stroking her shoulder.“When we’re back, I’ll call you no matter what,” she said after a few gentle kisses.“You’re leaving?” I asked, my lips still pressed against hers.“Yeah, we won’t be staying in town,” she murmured, melting into me between kisses.“Babe,” I said, pulling her tightly against me, “I love you—don’t forget that.”“I definitely won’t,” she teased.I did

Chapter: Chapter 28.02She stepped out from the crowd, picked a blue balloon, and aimed for the bottom of the canvas. Her throw lacked force—she barely hit the target. But she got applause too.“What kind of paint is in these?” Jenny asked. “If I missed, how much of a mess would I have made?”“It’s a mix—not too thick, not too watery. If it gets on your skin, it’ll fade over time,” the guy explained. “If it started raining now, your artwork would probably disappear since it hasn’t dried yet.”The conversation didn’t hold much interest for the crowd, and they slowly wandered off.“I see, thanks,” my girlfriend said. “Could I get a pink and a black one?”“Of course,” the guy smiled.Jenny adjusted her grip on the two balloons, preparing to throw again. She turned toward me, but before I could react, the pink liquid splattered across my chest, dripp

Chapter: Chapter 28.01The next morning, we left for our week-long vacation. The drive wasn’t long, and after unpacking, we went out for lunch.“Babe,” I asked as we ate.“Go ahead,” she laughed, seeing right through me.“Before we got Amber’s place, where did you spend your dad’s birthday?”“At Iris’s,” she said simply. “She lent me her apartment for the day and went out.”“Did she know what you were doing?” I asked, surprised.“Only you know, Messyhair,” she smiled. “She just knew I wanted to be alone that day and offered her place.”“And the summer before school?” I asked. “When you were already living at Uncle Steve’s?”“You’re getting better at details, Messyhair,” she smiled. “I rented a room.”“Seriously?” I asked. “You spent money on that?&r

Chapter: Chapter 29.4“I’m going to bed. Tomorrow’s going to be a long day,” I said as I headed upstairs.“Mom, could you please take the pillow and blanket from my room and wash my exgirl’s scent out of them?In my room, I erased every trace of Jenny from my phone and laptop, transferring her photos onto a small pendrive. Amber might need them someday, so I tucked it into my wardrobe, with no intention of taking it with me. By the time I’d wiped Jenny from my life for good, the phone rang.I stepped out of my room at the same time Amber did.“What happened?” Amber asked.“It was Julie,” Dad said after hanging up the phone. “The girl still hasn’t come home, and her phone’s off. Julie didn’t even know about the breakup. Daniel’s asking around—as soon as he finishes his victory dance,” he added, worry etched into his voice.“Who cares,” I said mockingly, though I was actually really anxious. “She probably finally got to try that one-night stand she always dreamed of.”Amber’s slap landed hard across my face.

Chapter: Chapter 29.3“Exactly what I said. Let’s end it. This relationship. Right here, right now. If you’re already trying to wear the pants, that’s not going to change later. Sooner or later, you’ll come up with something else I didn’t get a say in.”“So only things you decide can happen in your life?” she asked, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.“Yes, Babe. That’s what makes me the man. I want to be the one to ask my girlfriend to move in, or to marry me—not just go along with it when she feels like it,” I said, my tone sharp, almost mocking.She, on the other hand, was growing calmer.“Messyhair, you do realize that if you make this decision, I won’t be there for you ever again? Not even if you need me?” she asked gently.“I’ll manage,” I snapped. “I’ll find someone who will.”The moment I said it, I regretted it—but I couldn’t take it back.Jenny sat down on the edge of the bed in silence.She tapped on her phone for a few seconds, her face unreadable, then calmly slipped on her shoes.I paced the room

Chapter: Chapter 29.2Grandpa and Grandma arrived over the weekend; Jenny wasn’t expected until the afternoon.“How are you?” I greeted Kevin, who just shrugged.“Eve?” I asked. “Did you two move in together?”“Yeah,” he sighed. “Now she’s planning the wedding.”“Boys,” Grandpa stepped over, “nothing good ever comes from letting someone else wear the pants.”“What do you mean by that?” I asked.“You’re the men. It’s your job to propose when the time is right,” he said.“Don’t move in with a girl just because it’s cheaper, and never let yourself be financially dependent on them.”“Eve doesn’t support me—Mom and Dad still pay for my stuff,” Kevin said defensively.“I know, son,” Grandpa smiled. “But your girlfriend’s already mapped out your entire future. Am I right?”Kevin nodded.“She wants to wait until after school to have kids,” he added.“And what about you, son?” Grandpa asked. “What do you want?”“I don’t mind living together—it’s convenient—but I don’t want anything more,” Kevin said.“I don’t want

Chapter: Chapter 29.1 (18+)The next day after lunch, we packed up and drove home. “You were right, Aaron,” I said once we were in the car. “We should do this again next year.” “Only if everyone sorts out their nonsense by then,” Brian added quietly, glancing at me. We drove home in good spirits, dropped everyone off, and returned the cars to the rental place. Brian dropped Jenny off at her house, then me at mine. “Start fixing what you messed up,” he said before heading inside. I crossed the street. “Son, good timing,” Mom said as she was setting the table. “Help me get dinner ready.” “How was it?” Amber asked. “We won,” I said proudly. Everyone looked genuinely surprised. “Amber told us about the little girl’s plan. How did you pull it off?” Dad asked. I gave them a quick rundown of the story. “So basically, you lost,” Dad laughed. “She knew about my past,” I said after a short pause. “Some of my exes shared it with her—and we weren’t even dating yet.” “Then you should be grateful she even talks

Chapter: Chapter 28.13“Sure, let’s go,” I said, trying to pull myself together in the elevator.We took the usual two cars.I drove in silence.“Jay, we’re still good for what we talked about?” Daryl asked.“Of course. Just let me know when.”“What’s wrong?” Brian asked after we got out and the others went inside.Perks of childhood friendship.“Nothing,” I said shortly. “Why would anything be wrong? I just found out today that my girlfriend thinks I’m not serious—but otherwise, everything’s great.”“Dude, if you’ve been constantly telling her how much of an idiot you are, then don’t be surprised. But I think you can still turn it around—especially if she still loves you,” he laughed and went inside.I followed quietly. He was right.“You’re back?” Jenny asked, touching her nose. “Everything okay?” she added, gently brushing my cheek.She always saw right through me.“I just love you so much,” I sighed.“Then you’re in luck,” she smiled, “because I love you just as much. And I’d love it if you asked me to

Chapter: Chapter 28.12“You promised him you wouldn’t wear one?” Paul asked.“Not exactly.” Her face was perfectly composed. “I was little when he bought me a ring—a cute little ladybug one for kids. Years later, it broke, though I wasn’t wearing it anymore by then. He told me not to be sad, that one day I’d get another one just as meaningful. The next day, he never came home.”I could see how much effort it took her to stay calm.Paul noticed too.“So you’ll only wear that one,” Paul concluded.“Exactly.” She softened a bit with a smile.“Babe, did you get anything for yourself?” I asked, needing to steer the conversation elsewhere.“Yes, I’ll show you later.”She was back to her usual self, then stood and walked into the store.“What was that?” Brian asked.“Jane doesn’t believe in their relationship,” Paul said. “I suspected it, though she never talked about it openly.”“Wait, why not?” Brian was clearly behind.“Probably because of the long-distance thing, right Jay?” Paul asked.“Partly. And because I w
