—JENNIFER—My sleep was broken because of the loud rumbling of my stomach. Midnight cravings are a different thing but I was hella hungry tonight. Because of all the attention in the party I couldn't eat properly and when I finally had made my mind about taking care of my stomach, it went into another direction and I ended up sitting in Christian's lap with him talking weird stuff that made me forget that I was hungry because that time, my stomach was full with thousands of fluttering butterflies. And whatever happened afterwards, I didn't have the courage to stand him another second and locked myself up in my room. It was almost two in the morning when I checked the time before heading out towards the kitchen as my stomach rumbled continuously. On my way, I saw the lights of his study still turned on and realising that Christian is still up, My first thought was to turn and run back to lock myself up again. But another rumble had me keep going. This time, with careful steps. I ope

—JENNIFER—I tripped on the carpet in the living area and fell flat on my butt.“ Fucking Carpet!! “ I cried, frustrated while rubbing my behind and still sitting on the floor miserably. “ The carpet is sorry to get in your way. “ The sarcastic voice came from near me and I looked up to see its arrogant owner looking with a mocking expression. “ It should be. “ I said, swatting his hand away, that he offered me to get up and did that by myself. “ You can't even walk straight on a flat floor without tripping. “ He scrunched his nose and headed toward the dining table. I followed him behind and took my usual chair, opposite him. “That's because this STRAIGHT floor belongs to you. Even your house is conspiring against me. Like owner, like house!! “ I mumbled bitterly, loud enough for him to hear. He said something about me talking absurdly as he ate a spoonful of omelette. Me, on the other side kept muttering incoherent things about him while stuffing my mouth with my own food. Af

—JENNIFER—He looked pissed and the way his eyes were piercing mine, I can get the idea that I was definitely in trouble. Because he can get annoyed at me even for breathing in the same air as him. And it looked like his patience to tolerate my dramatic ass had run off. My mind was telling the possibilities as the main door was closed with a small thud. We stared at each other in silence until it started to bite off my ears and I cleared my throat. “ Why is he here?? “ I asked, trying to cover my nervousness and sliding away from his reach slowly. “ Definitely not for you to drool over him.” He gritted coldly through his clenched jaws with an even more cold glare. I gulped down realising the reason for his suddenly risen temper. Damn!! He is jealous. The look on his face was screaming that he damn sure was jealous and it’s almost terrifying to look at in those eyes right now. But that didn't mean that I was going to miss the chance. “ I just told the truth. He is ho-I had start

—JENNIFER—The holidays had me going crazy out of boredom and since I had completed all three of my novels that I had bought three days back, I had nothing to do right now. I can't even go to a bookstore Or library because of a certain big bulky bodyguard lurking at the door. Finding no other way to kill my time, I called mom and we talked sometime. “ Is he treating you nicely?? “Mom asked after pleasantries. “ I thought you would ask if I'm treating him nicely. “ I said, sarcastically. “ Oh, didn't I ask that only?? I guess my words got misplaced. “ She teased, making me huff. “ Your mom is getting old, Princess.” Dad's voice came in between followed by a hiss. “ Stop being violent, woman. “ I laughed, understanding that Mom had surely hit him. “ Alright, Now when are you visiting us?? “ Mom had asked. “ I was thinking about coming after the new year. Since my university will be reopened, I'll come directly from there. “ I informed her. “ I wasn't talking about only you, you

—JENNIFER—I asked, trying to push the smirk on display while hiding the blush on my cheeks caused by his constantly intense gaze and his gorgeous look. He can look handsome even in a plastic bag!! “ Not really! “ He said, taking a step closer to me. Damn him!! How can he shamelessly accept that he was staring. I took a subconscious step back because of the decreased distance between us but he was fast to stop me with his one hand going around my waist and pressing me against his chest. “ My choice really is ravishing! “ He whispered, huskily as his other hands went up to my hair. “ Y-Yes! The dress.. dress is gorgeous! “ I said, more to myself, hoping that he was actually talking about the dress. Before I knew it, he pulled out the binder from my ponytail, making my hair to fell down on my back. “ Wha-“ Don't you ever tie them again.” He said as he, without giving me any chance to reply, nudged his face in my hair making me go shut up.My eyes went wide when he sniffed them
