Adam left that night with his gift as Christine did not accept it.

Adam left with a heavy heart while jenny returned with a heart full of warm joys!

Jenny felt ecstatic but did not tell Christine, she was thinking when to talk about it with Adam!

"Uhm! Ok. Good for you.See where it goes!"that's all Adam said.

Jenny wasn't satisfied with his reply.
She expected more of a what! You saw him! How lucky you are! Type of reactions. She craved drama.

"you are so boring! it's a huge thing for me and you are saying nothing."

Adam remained quiet.

"Are you upset about something?"She asked.

Adam told her everything at once.

"Well i don't know what to say! it is quite a different kind of gift but I see nothing wrong with accepting it!

"She said no straight to my face."

"Were you proposing her or something!" Jenny started laughing

" Your sister here doesn’t things much of me, and you wanted me to date her!"
Adam said with a bit of mockery in his voice.

"You are like family Adam! Don't say that."

"Christine doesn't see me like that, I wonder if she even thinks me as a friend!"

"You are really important to her!She just does not show it."

"I don’t wanna talk about this."

Adam stared at the ground, Jenny looked at him trying to understand him. He was really hurt!

"You didn't need to come to meet me at this hour."Adam sighed as Christine was standing in front of his apartment"

"what's wrong with this hour? It’s only ten!"

"It’s a bachelor's place, I don’t want people to have weird thinking about a girl showing up."

"Why no girls ever come here?"

"I thought you knew i don't have a girlfriend, even if i had one, no one was coming at this time."

He is always a gentleman!

Christine closed the door, as Adam sitted in the sofa casually facing her.

"What is it?"He sounded grave.

Christine bit her lips, all on a sudden she was at lost of words.

"Well you know...." She gulped.

"Speak if It's important. I don’t think you'd come at this hour if it's not important!" his eyes were fixed on her.

"Jenny told me you were really hurt by what i said"

"Oh really? What's to be hurt by that!"

"She said, you think we don't share any special relationship!"

"Do we?" His voice was hursh.

"I am kinda tired of always being afraid of not making you uncomfortable, not hurting you by silly things

"I am kinda tired of always being afraid of not making you uncomfortable, not hurting you by silly things. Jenny has no idea how much rules i abide by to be your friend and colleague!
And I hate it! I am supposed to support you but this friendship of us feels like all about you. Jenny is much more closer to me than you when she is 6/7 years younger. I can be so much open with her. I always thought in this city i have two of you. But it isn’t true. You don’t see me much of a special person!"

"Adam!"
