Chapter ten: This was actually...

Later in the day, on getting home, Jennie went to her mom to listen to the news, she was overjoyed learning that her mom was pregnant and will give her a junior brother or sister in the next nine months.

Infact she covered up with various lies about her injuries, she always lied on an accident or the other when being asked of her source of injuries at home after being bullied by Tasha.

She isn't short of excuses, such as . I fell off the bike.

I collided with something.

I wasn't looking properly so I fell.

I got hit by a bicycle.....

Although her parents finds it hard to believe her but they could do less since she refused to open up.

"Mom I'll be in my room" she said and exit her mom's room to hers.

Day after day Blake and her doesn't Converse, nor discuss about the previous incident,

He was like an alluring oasis out of reach that could only be admired from afar because she realized the more you think of it, the more you thirst for it.

He prefer to be the prince charming who always appeared to rescue her in distress.

He was of the first generation rich heir, although Tasha still find chances to bully her sometimes but it had suffered great reduction compared to the past.

Jennie relationship with Evie grew more, she wasn't the same girl who was labeled queen and caught the attention of the second generation rich family daughter who coerced her to join her group and had her do her assignments and to always carried their backpacks.

A month flew by, her father who came home one day with a news of Being promoted from an assistant manager to manager welcomed Jennie this very day.

His father was thrown a grand party by the company and he was to come with his family to celebrate his promotion.

It is habitual for the company to throw a party for whoever was promoted because they believed the employee worked harder to deserve such.

Jennie dressed beautifully and Layla dressed elegantly moreover the day was a joyous one for the Anderson's.

They entered into the Audi and drove to the event, although it only consist of the employees and the chairman of the company as well as friends and acquaintance.

The car parked and Jennie alighted from the car and threw a brief glance around, she wowed at the luxury of the place.

This felt rather encouraging because a worker who witness this will tend to work harder to be promoted.

Followed by her mother and lastly her dad, they were led to the table,

The dimmed light slightly illuminated the place but the bright moon especially lightened the atmosphere accompanied by soft music playing from the background and wine.

Jennie wasn't used to such parties, as if bunch of girls of her age wouldn't be seldomly found here, she felt bored but still composed herself not to get on the wrong side of her dad, he might be lovely and all but has no tolerance to shrinking from responsibility.

The people were just talking about business and most were there to show off what they amount to, infact some hinted how single their daughters was so as to be betrothed to the heir of the family but the heir isn't there to begin with.

After Sitting for like an hour, she felt out of place like she doesn't belong here because the men's and ladies are clearly enjoying theirselves so she whispered to her mother she'll take a look around but not without a stern reminder not to wander off or beyond.

She excuse herself and started looking around, a certain area caught her attention there wasn't a single light around the place but the moon is very bright that night which shone brightly, the view is particularly beautiful. Although the flowers colour couldn't be make out but the fresh fragrance coming from it is alluring.

She walked closer, at this area the soft music could no longer be heard which portray how far she was away from the party, being led on by the amusing sight she couldn't go back anymore, far from it, it was eye-catching but closer, words couldn't described it, is it the bright moon which illuminated the place, or the view with stars or the fragrance which kept luring her closer.

She walked into the garden, certainly the planter must be of good taste, she was about to touch a flower when an annoyed voice warned ,"Don't touch it" it felt as if it was said between gritted teeths.

But the voice was familiar, her instincts was repeating a single word "Run"

But she refused to, instead she looked around but saw no one, when she started to panic, the person unexpectedly came into view.

The figure gradually became clearer, the words slipped out of her mouth "It's you!"

Blake moved closer to Jennie he stared at her and asked "Yes and??" Blake questioned slightly irritated

Jennie quickly glanced at the exit without any fluctuations, she didn't feel the slightest fear, she only wants to get out of here but a hand grabbed her back, He said "what do you think you're doing?"

"Making a run for it" she didn't hide the truth

But she was shocked when Blake said suspiciously in a low voice" this isn't an amusement park, you're doing nothing but trespassing, you think you can make a run for it after breaking into what's mine?"

"W...what?" She asked and gulped nervously, Jennie slightly frowned as she got an unspeakable strange feeling.

"Pay" he demanded and smirked

Jennie was lost, so she quickly said "How much?"

She suddenly Heard a laughter, the very first time of seeing him laugh was.... Actually this, this strange feeling seemed to be brewing faster.

She found it strange but this cold iceberg looked unwontedly handsome tonight in his sweatpants and sweatshirt except he also possesses this sinister temperament but what's so funny about the presently happenings, but before she could retort he suddenly said "you think money can pay for this?? This is special and you have to pay with something as special as her"

Getting frustrated, moreover she's already running out of time so she asked impatiently " like what? What is as special as he..r?"

"A kiss"
