Chapter 13: Him???

Arnold had woken up and was about getting up from bed. Jenna felt something left  the bed. She opened her eyes to see Arnold seated on the bed.

"Good Morning." She sat up. Her hair was so rough and her face was pale.

Arnold turned to look at her for a moment then he turned back. "You're awake."

" Just woke up". She stretched.

"I guess I woke you up." He replied.

"No, I wasn't sleeping, I just laid down." She smiled.

"Thanks for staying with me yet another night." She continued.

"That's okay." He replied.

Jenna thought of a way to keep the conversation going. "Mmm..I didn't see her in my dream last night." Her beautiful eyes stared at his bear body. His shirt was off and his chest was visible.

"I know." He replied.   Then he took a step  when Jenna came outta nowhere. She was now standing before him.

Arnold took time to stare at her for a moment. She looked like a little girl that disturbed her dad to buy a  new doll house.

"What are you doing?". He saw how playful he was becoming.

"I'm up to perform my Morning Duties."

" The Doctor said you needed rest. So go get some rest. Arnold took another step and she got blocked his way again.

"What was this girl doing?" He knew she was trying to be playful with him.

"I..I'm perfectly okay. See?" She twirled.

"Sure?" He asked and she nodded.

"Okay then, I'll be in my room." Immediately he said that she made why for him to pass.

She had her warm bath. Slipped into a comfortable lace gown and walked to Arnold's room to bathe him after which they came downstairs for breakfast.

Arnold was already seated at the table with two men. She had went to change her wet clothes and was now on a yellow short gown.

"Who were these men?." She said to herself then She walked down the stairs .

The men were already seated. Enjoying their meal.

She pulled out her seat nervously and sat. The Butler who stood there put out food for her.

She wasn't comfortable cause she had always had her breakfast with Arnold alone. Now, these men??

They were Arnold in threes. They all had cold and serious looks but were all dashing.

"We're they Arnold's brothers?." She asked herself. She ate slowly avoiding their gaze.

After minutes of silence Shane Reagan said.

"And who is this lady Arnold.?" His eyes flew on her.  Oh God!! She was really nervous that she had to stop eating and was now playing with the food, with her fork.

"You never told us you were now interested in women. Brett the cute looking man said.

Brett was Arnold's childhood friend. They were close back then. Brett knew Arnold inside and out.

He had light brown hair. He was in his early 30s just as Arnold.

Arnold glared at him as if he asked why he said  that.

Shane upon seeing that turned to Jenna that sat close to Arnold.

"Well she's quite pretty." He said. Arnold glared at him as if he wanted to pounce on him but held himself. Shane peered at Arnold abs saw that he was already giving him death glared.

"Relax brother. It was just a compliment." He stared at Jenna giving her those seductive look.

Arnold clenched his fist under the table. Jenna who played with her food saw his fist clenched tightly .

Jenna was shocked. "His brother?? Was this man Arnold's brother? He looked nothing like him at all." He was more calm than Arnold was.

"Siblings are supposed to love each other but why does Arnold hate him?" She asked herself.

"Why are you here?. What do you want." Arnold said to Shane looking at him with disgust.

"(Chuckles) can't I come see my little Brother?"

Arnold was so made seeing him now. His face welled up with anger but he tried to control himself cause Jenna was present. She had already called him nice. For some reason he wanted to let her win.

Arnold gaped at Jenna who sat still not touching her meal. He knew she was uncomfortable at the moment.

"Jenna? Go up to your room". He said calmly and she obeyed.

"What was that about?" Shane grinned. He knew Arnold was really mad and would pounce on him any second.

Arnold got up and was about to punch Shane in his face before Brett stopped him.

"Calm down Arnold. Will you?. This isn't the time for this. You've got a guest in the house."

Brett was careful in his words. Everyone was scared of Arnold. Even his brother Shane.

Arnold could kill and did bad things to anyone that angered him.

He had strangled one of his servants for a little mistake he made with his food. This made other servants served him well.

Arnold walked out of the Dinning to the garden. Then Brett turned to Shane who was still grinning.

"You wouldn't stop will you?. You wouldn't stop till you finally get him to do it."

" just leave Shane." He said calmly.

" I will. But tell him we ain't done yet, and I'll be back." He quickly gulped his drink and walked out of the door.
