—JENNIFER—I stared into his eyes that were ready to drown in those deep pooles. But by the look of them I can tell that the pools are definitely filled with boiling water.The music stopped and everyone started to leave the dance floor since it was almost 12:00.But instead of staying with everyone and hooting through the countdown of new year, I was being dragged to one side. Soon I found that not only one side but the outside. In the garden of the house. His hold on my wrist was so tight that a yelp escaped my lips before he left me with a jerk in the silent garden. “What's wrong with you?? “ I almost cried at his behaviour. “ What's wrong with me?? What's wrong with you?? What the fuck were you doing there??” He growled, making me take a step back. His eyes blazed with pure fury and the vein in his forehead ticked like a time bomb. “ I-I was just dancing. “ I simply answered, trying to keep myself calm. “ And With who exactly??” He gritted through his teeth. “ A gentleman

—JENNIFER—Four hours in university felt like four painful, foodless lives and when the last lecture finally was done, I literally ran out of the class as If it was on fire.When I stepped out of the campus with Cally and Celeste on either side of me, Morris was waiting for me in the parking lot near my car. I pressed my lips into a thin, annoying line. “ Ah, how can you even be displeased with this sight?? .” Cally remarked with an awed sigh. “ For real. I would have been on his feet by now.” Celeste agreed, fanning herself. “ Then what are you waiting for??” I gave her a tight lipped smile, pointing towards the feet of Morris. “ If I wasn't already having a bigass crush.” She sighed with a whining expression. I met eyes with Cally and we both whirled to watch him with our ‘tell us right now’ look. “ There's not much to tell. " She saddened her face, helplessly. “ Spit it. Whatever it is. “ I and Cally both spoke up at the same time. “ I saw this man in the Cafe I work. He vi

—JENNIFER—The moment car was parked in the society, I climbed off without uttering a word and headed for the lift without looking back. Thankfully, the elevator doors were closed before he could reach. Entering inside the penthouse, I directly went inside my room and slammed the door shut. Velvet startled at first but then, she ran towards me and jumped in my stretched arms, licking my fingers. I, in return, kissed her nose and head for various times forgetting the anger bubbling inside me. I had researched enough about ragdolls and since they can live almost twenty four hours alone just with a perfect settlement of their needed things, then it wouldn't be a problem for them to be on their own.Changing into my night clothes, I slipped under my blanket and didn't realise when playing with Velvet, sleep engulfed me. Next morning I ignored Christian all the way, even skipped breakfast so that I didn't have to face him and headed out. In another five minutes, I was in the parking l

—JENNIFER— “ What?? “ I laughed in surprise at Mary's words as she told me about how her five years old elder daughter informed them about being in love with some Jack boy. “ Yes!! And when I asked if she loves Jack more or daddy. She answered Jack. “ “ Damn. The father must have had a heartbreak. “ I giggled, picking another grape from the bowl in my hand. “ A massive one!! “ We both giggled again. Just then the footsteps fade in and my giggles died down as Christian stood in the entrance of the kitchen with his coat jacket hanging on his forearm. His eyes directly stopped on me, making me forget to breathe for a moment. It took me some seconds to contain myself. Pressing my lips into a thin angry line to make it very visible that I'm still angry with him, I looked away. From the corner of my eye, I caught him smirking before exiting the kitchen. Mary cleared her throat and I looked up at her, only to find her smirking at me with a raised brow. “ So?? Not on talking terms ag

—JENNIFER —“ HeLlo JeNniFer!! CaN wE mEeT ?? “ I frowned reading the text and when I could recognize the number, I decided to text back. “ I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you?? ” I typed pressed the send icon. The reply was almost immediate. “ MicHaeL here!! ChrIsTiaN's CouSiN?? “My mouth formed into an ‘O’, remembering then I frowned again. Why on earth does he want to meet me? “ Why do you want to meet ME?? “ I sent another message. “ I nEed YouR heLp. PleAse!” Came his reply. I contemplated for a moment before reply to him with an ‘Okay’ but only at the condition of him coming to my decided place. Choosing the nearest cafe that I've known for some time now, I informed him and took a bus for myself. When I reached there, Michael was already there, sitting at the table.Reaching near him, I cleared my throat to grab his attention and he immediately looked up at me.“ Hey!! “ He flashed me a big smile which I reciprocated nervously. “ Hey!! “ I answered, taking the chair op
