All Chapters of Jenny & Jay - Volume 2: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The next day, I arrived well before lunch. Daniel opened the door, and I heard Jenny squeal.“Bugs?” I asked, grinning as we shook hands.“You do know her,” he laughed. “Harry’s boys have gotten bold.”“Raymond, Robert,” I heard Dr. Cox’s mother scolding them. “If the girl finds one more bug in her room, there will be no cookies, no New Year’s party—understood?”“But Grandma Sophie,” one of them protested, “it wasn’t us!”“I don’t care. You’re responsible for making sure there are no disturbances in her room. Got it?”“Yes,” they chorused just as I stepped inside.“Hello, John,” Dr. Cox greeted me quickly. “You’ve met everyone already, right?” he asked. I nodded.Dr. Cox’s brother was a tall, sturdy man with a bit of a belly—strong enough that I wo

“Alright. I assume this means there’s a bet involved,” Amber grinned.“Pretty boy,” my girlfriend turned to me. “What do you want if I’m wrong?”“Let’s make the stakes high, little girl,” I smirked. “Sing me a song at our wedding.”“Pretty boy,” she saw right through me. “That assumes there will be a wedding,” she laughed.“I didn’t say when,” I teased, gently brushing her cheek. She was unbelievably attractive.“Alright, listen,” she said. “If we do have a wedding, the winner gets a song. If we don’t, then the loser sings at Brian’s or Daryl’s wedding. Deal?”“Who picks the song?” I asked. “The loser or me?” I winked.

“What did you tell him?” I asked, hoping to wrap this up quickly.“That you took me out for burgers, and after that, there was strictly just a short kiss,” she emphasized the just a kiss, “and then the movie. But after that, you simply drove me home because you were already into your girlfriend.”“So he only knows what happened after Jenny moved here, and even then, just the toned-down version? He has no idea about the summer party before that?”“Yes, and I’d like to keep it that way,” she requested.“Alright, Shannon, it’ll stay that way,” I said. “But try to be monogamous—unlike with me. I didn’t care, but he does.”“I promise,” she smiled and walked back to her spot.

“Thank you, Messyhair—it’s beautiful,” she leaned against me and kissed me. “I’ll have to thank Amber too,” she laughed.“How did you know?” I asked, surprised.“I didn’t,” she smiled. “I was just teasing you—but I guessed right,” she laughed. “You slipped up.”I laughed—she always managed to surprise me with her sharp mind. I adored her.I drove her home, then headed back and packed up. Amber and Brad were already at our place.“Did you have a good New Year’s?” Mom asked. “Jane really seems happy. And you do too,” she added cautiously.“I am happy. I haven’t regretted this change for a second,” I said, hugging her and kissing her forehead.

During the exam period, I barely spent any time at the dorm. Paul was constantly coming and going, and Jenny occasionally helped him prepare for his basic exams. We organized our schedules so I could go home every month for the agreed weekends with Uncle Steve.A week before the exams ended, both Jenny and I had finished, so we drove home in two cars. None of my other subjects were difficult, especially with Uncle Steve’s guidance, and Jenny was clearly interested in what she was studying.I spent my free week with Uncle Steve, while Jenny traveled between cities for the shop and took on a few interpreting jobs.“I don’t know if I’ll be coming home again before the wedding,” I said to Amber during a family dinner. Brad traveled a lot, and when he did, she stayed with us.“No problem. Jane still has one more photoshoot before th
