"I wouldn't say she's bitchy. Maybe you caught her on the wrong side of her hormones ? My sister is the sweetest, it's just this pregnancy makes her a little mean." He said smiling at me.

"Wait- Charlotte's your sister ?" I asked him.

"Yeah, who were you-" He smiled as he realised we weren't talking about the same person. "You thought I was talking about the model ? Jessica Lawrence ?"

Model. Mmmh.

"Yeah." I chuckled. "Charlotte, I like her. I thought you were talking about Jessy."

"Looks like you two already have something in common. She hates Jessica." He laughed as if reminiscing Charlotte's moments.

"Well I don't hate her, I don't even know her. I hate people who are relevant in my life, I haven't even thought about her that much to come to a conclusion that I hate her."

"You're cute." Junior chuckled. " I think-"

"Blue." Kenny's deep voice interrupted. We both looked at him and he glared at Junior.

"I'll see you around Blue." Junior smiled at me as he stood up and left.

Kenny turned my chair around so I could face him. The chair was high so for once he wasn't towering over me.

"What was he saying to you ?" He asked. He looked irritated as hell. He doesn't get the right to play jealous boyfriend when he was with Jessica fucking Lawrence.

"The same thing Jessy was saying to you." I faked a smile. I was being petty, I know. But he doesn't get to question me when he forgot about my existence immidietly when little miss blonde hair showed up.

"Blue. I've been looking for you. You don't just leave without telling me."

"I'm sorry Ken I didn't want to disturb your reunion with your friend."

"Okay, you're definitely mad." He mumbled to himself. "I'm sorry, she has been gone for three months and she wanted to share her experience with me."

"I really don't care about that." I stood up. "I'm not some clingy girlfriend that will get jealous over her boyfriend talking to another girl."

"Yeah but I am." He said as he held my waist. "I'm some clingy boyfriend that get's jealous over another man making her girl laugh. I can't stand it."

"Too bad isn't it ?" I said as I wrapped my hands around his neck and I saw Jessica looking at us from a distance. I rolled my eyes as I looked at Kenny. "Okay I don't believe that friendship crap. It's either you fucked or she wants you. Which one is it ?"

"The first one." He said as he looked at me carefully waiting for my reaction.

I chuckled. "I thought so." I pecked his lips. "Make sure she knows that it's my territory now."

"She knows." He smiled at me.

We went back to Jake and Charlotte who were sitting on the round table. It turned out they swapped with the couple that was supposed to sit with us. Each table had four or six chair so ours had four. Everyone started sitting around in their seats and a woman in a red dress and a tall dark man walked to the stage.

They spent atleast thirty minutes talking about finances, how much they raised this year compared to last year. What programmes they were going to invest in worldwide, how the money will be distributed among helping organisations, how much each individual donated. I found out Kenny donated ten million this year when they were mentioning the donations. But the highest was fourteen million that came from some old man Charlotte told me is a billionaire.

The dinner was going to be served moments from now and I decided to go to the bathroom to check myself.

I was putting lip liner before putting on lipgloss when the bathroom door opened. I continued doing my makeup until felt someone standing behind me. I looked up the mirror and was met with the one and only Jessy.

"I'm going to get straight to the point baby girl. Stay. Away. From Kenny." She said slowly trying to intimidate me. "You're a cop aren't you? I could ruin your precious little career with the snap of my fingers "

I chuckled as I turned around to look at her. "Look Jeffrey-"

"It's Jessica!" She interrupted me. Getting their name wrong always gets to them. Make her feel like she has no importance.

"Jeffrey, Jessica, Jack. Same thing." I shrugged my shoulders. "Why don't you tell Kenny to stay away from me ?

"You clearly don't know who I am. Do as I say or you'll kiss you job goodbye." She said as she folded her arms. Why is she looking so angry ?

"Jeffrey I don't know who you think you are or who you think I am. But I'll tell you who I'm not, I'm not one of those girls you threaten to stay away from Kenny and they obey just like that. And I'll tell you one thing you're not, you're still not Kenny's girlfriend." I smiled at her. Her fists tightened and I knew I hit a nerve with my last words.

"I could ruin your life, don't test me-"
It's actually the opposite.

"Do yourself a favour." I said as I stepped closer to her. "Stay. Away. From me. Understood ?"

She gulped and said nothing. And that's how it's done. "Good." I said as I took my hand bag and left, bumping her shoulder in the process.
