It was more of a sentence but the way she rushed it, almost sounded like one word.
I chuckled and watched her fall asleep, I stood up and turned off all the lights, I was about to climb the bed when I saw the bouquet on the table where I dropped it.
I picked it up and got dressed, with my pyjamas I left the room, I made sure to close the door gently.
I went downstairs to the living room, the entire house sounded dead.
I opened the door and walked outside, there was a big thrash can in sight, I was about to walk over to it when I saw the flash of a headlight in the gate.
I halted to see who was coming in. The security opened the gate and I watched two figures emerging.
“Blue” I said finally realising it was her. She was drunk, so drunk she could not walk, she was clutching onto a guy.
“Hey” he said in acknowledgement but his eyes held suspicion. I walked over to the trashcan and threw the rose inside.
When I turned around the guy was still standing there, he had clear blue eyes that shone in the darkness.
“What?” I asked him.
“Who are you?” He asked immediately.
“I should be asking you the same thing because I don’t know who are, but as you can see I’m minding my business, you should do the same”
“Mr Chris…” Blue purred pushing away from the guy to come towards me, he did not let her go. Her eyes were partly open, but not open enough for her to see anything, she must have heard my voice.
The guy gave me another look and he proceeded to take her up the stairs.
“Jesus, you’re wasted” I heard Sandy say, the lights in the living room turned on and suddenly, the house looked a little bit alive.
“Yeah, she had a little bit too much to drink” the stranger said handing Blue over to Sandy.
Sandy eyed him suspicion.
“Did you keep an eye on her?” Sandy asked him.
“I did, no need to worry she was with me through out”
“She said she was going to stay till dawn, what happened?”
“Old fashioned?”
“Nah man, vodka did the job, old fashioned just finished it off”
“Thanks for keeping an eye on her man”
“You don’t need to thank me, it was my pleasure ”
Blue said something and giggled.
“Hey who is that guy I saw standing outside?”
“What guy?” Sandy asked turning backwards, his eyes instantly fell on me and he halts.
“Mr G what are you doing outside, it’s the dead of the night ” Sandy said reposting Blue.
“Let me help you” the stranger said trying to take her from him.
“Don’t worry, I got her” Sandy said.
“I came to throw out some trash, you?” I asked.
He chuckled.
“Kay texted me that he was at the gate with my sister, he didn’t want to get into trouble with the security so I had to clear him”
I nodded once and went to the stairs.
“Mr G?” Sandy called and I stopped and turned him.
“There is this project I’m starting up next month and I need guidance and advice, and also a wealthy Investor…” Sandy said.
“Okay…”
“Can we talk about it later when the sun is up, I hope you and Jenna aren’t leaving early tomorrow”
“We can talk about it, I don’t think Jenna would manage an early road trip because she had too much to drink, I’ll have time ”
“Thank you” he said grinning.
“No problem ”
I went up to the bedroom and slipped in quietly so that Jenna wouldn’t wake up, I slipped under the cover and held her tight, seconds later, Sandy and Kay noisily make their way through the hallway.
Jenna stirred and my name left her mouth in a whisper, I sat up and I stayed there for what seemed like an eternity. I couldn’t stop smiling.
I can’t shake the feeling of pure Bliss that engulfed me, I went to sleep thinking of the nearest flower shop that sold gardenias.

JENNA
I stretched and I felt a bone crack in my spine, a smile found it way to my lips and I spread my legs apart. I was loving the way the king size bed was empty and cold in some spots.
“Holly Molly” I said feeling like a marshmallow, I was feeling good until slowly the throbbing in my head was doing some crazy drumming.
I groaned and rolled on the bed holding my head, after a while the hard throbbing stopped but the pain was still there and some parts of my joints felt sore.
I climbed down from the bed and looked around, I went to the bathroom and the balcony, Christian was no where to be found. I took the alone time to do some of my skincare routine, Blue and I had gotten some skin care products the day before yesterday and I started trying them out.
I took my bath, did my hair and brushed my teeth.
“Sheesh” I groaned rubbing the Hickey that was on my jaw, Christian never failed to give me Hickeys, the amount of hickeys I had on my body made some guys at the beach turn away and run, I was someone else’s mural.
I slipped into Christian’s t shirt and I wore a short underneath, but the shirt was oversized and it covered the short.
I went downstairs and the living room was almost crowded.
“Jenna!” Someone yelled.
I could recognize him a little, he was on the beach yesterday.
“Jenna!” Many others shouted in unison.
“Your video has gone viral Baby girl!” One guy said running up to me, he tousled my hair and bent down to get a levelled eye contact.
“”Miles ” I said tousling his hair and the smell of something salty and forestry hit me, I almost jumped on him and took his hair in my mouth, how would it taste, so delicious.
I mentally slapped myself for being weird and I smiled at him.
“I never knew you were filming ”
“I was, every one on the internet lovers you” I found myself laughing to his words.
“Come over here ” he said taking my hand and leading me to where others sat.
“Hey baby girl ” Blue said reaching out to me and pulling me into her body, I don’t know how she managed to have her strength, I was two times her weight.
“Hey baby girl ” I replied back and she giggled.
“I almost had sex last night ” she whispered in my ear.
I giggled feeling happiness in my toes.
“Who?” I asked her grinning wildly.
She used her eyes to gesture to a direction, I turned slowly as if nothing happened and my view landed on Kay but I had to wipe the goastish grin off my face because he was staring at me.
And, it wasn’t friendly stare.
