“I’m going to get a job by myself, without any of you, without using your fucking names, just me, Jenna!” I yelled, I heard my mother scoff.
I turned away and ran up the stairs to my bedroom, I felt pathetic. I locked myself in my room and remained in bed till it was evening, the only times I came out was to grab my food orders.
I picked up my phone and checked the last text between Christian and I.
I thought that I should maybe send him a text to tell him that I miss him, but knowing how busy he is, I declined and just turned my phone off.
I was thinking of sleeping when I heard a car pull up in the driveway, I jumped down from my bed finding fresh motivation and I looked outside.
Christian climbed down from the car, he was wearing a beautifully tailoured charcoal black suit, a woman was carrying a laptop in her hand typing in it.
I knew her, she was his personal secretary. His head shot up and umm his eyes met mine, I took a step back.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I asked myself slapping my palm on my forehead. I was used to watching him through the curtains and the blinds, and I was used to holding because I didn’t want him to think that I’m a psycho who was stalking his every move.
But now that he was my boyfriend, I could watch him, right?
I stepped back to the window and he had not taken his eyes off, he chuckled, I didn’t hear it but I saw his shoulders shake a little bit and wide grin was stretched on his beautiful lips, I wanted to kiss him.
His secretary looked up at me shortly, before returning her attention to the laptop. Christian said something to her and she turned around and got into the car. I watched the car drive off.
My mother was the first to step out, then my stepfather followed behind, they ushered him inside. I rested my back against the window, I was not ready for face my parents after they legit labelled me as failure.
“If was such a failure then they should better get another kid” I said going back to my bad.
There was a knock on my door, three people’s faces flashed in my mind, I was eager to jump into the arms of one of them.
“Who is there?” I asked.
“Jenna, it’s mum… Christian came over he wants to take us all to ‘That place ‘” my mum said.
“Leave me alone ” I told her laying back down.
I heard her sigh.
“Someone had to tell you the truth, what you did was shameful ”
“I thought we were over that topic already ”
“I can’t stil remind you whenever I want” she said and I frowned.
“Why are you here mum, please tell me” I said.
“I’m here because your uncle wants to takes us out, I told you that already ”
“You guys can go without me, I’ll be fine here”
“Now, I wouldn’t let you disrespect your uncle. You have to come down and put on a smiley face, he must have read the tabloids there’s nothing to be shy about since he already knows the story ”
If only my mother knew the true story.
“Please leave me alone, I’m not asking for much, I just want solitude ”
The hallway was quiet and I knew that she would have left, I was basking in the silence when all of sudden, a louder fiercer knock came.
“Jenna” Christian called.
“Please leave me alone” I pleaded.
“No” he said turning the door knob. When he found out it was locked he knocked again, this time louder.
Knowing him, I was certain he would never leave, he would just keep knocking till I opened door so I better save myself the stress.
I groaned and stood up from the bed, I undid the locks and he pushed the door open.
“I swear this door almost knocked out all my front tooth just now” I said moving backwards.
He laughed.
“Sorry I left you in the middle of the night” he said pushing the door shut. “I had a business meeting, I came here immediately it ended, I missed you” he said softly.
He leaned in and kissed me hungrily, when he pulled out I was out of breath.
“Your mum said you’ve be locked in here the whole day, is it true?” He asked me his voice was raspy.
“Yeah, did you see the tabloids?” O asked refusing to meet his eyes.
“Yes ” he said I nodded and went to sit on my bed. “I paid them everything down immediately I found out, but by the time I knew they had made some hundred copies.. but the won’t make more of the stories ever again ” he said.
The door flew open and my stepdad was standing there holding two cups of ice cream, he gave one to Christian and walked in to give one me.
“I figured she would open the door for you ” my stepdad said walking to my window and looking outside.
“Jenna, are those guys your friends?” He asked me.
My brows show together and I went to stand beside him looking out of the window to where he was pointing.
There was a house opposite ours, it belonged to a billionaire and his family. They had a son, he was about my age, his name was David and he was a spoilt and over pampered prick.
They rarely even lived there, their son was in Princeton and he often used the house as a party house, today was no different.
“They’re not” I told my stepdad stepping away from the window.
“They’re having a party, Christian is taking your mum and I to that fancy restaurant… Since you’re not coming with us why don’t you go party with them” my stepdad suggested.
“She’s not going to the party ” Christian answered for me, “She’s coming with us”
I turned to him and raised and questioning eyebrow, I guess I needed to lay out the rules to him. He was supposed to hide his feelings and act as if he didn’t care if I fucked random stranger.
“Chris, we have discussed this, anything that feels right, I’m going to ask her if she wants it and if she wants to, I will let her do it” my stepdad said, Christian looked like he was going to punch the living day light out of his brother.
“So you want her to go to a party and get drunk and probably get high on some addictive drugs and end up in bed with a total stranger?”
To my surprise my stepdad turned to me.
“Jenna, is that want you want to do?”
