Betrayed By Fate

Chapter 6 | Mate

The door closed, my eyes are still shut, I feel Jenn's presence beside me, the scent of food in the room.

I opened my eyes, meeting stares with Jenn who was staring at me. I looked away to the source of the divine smell.

I stood up to taste the goodies, but my body had other plans, ergo, I fell face first on the floor, my weak legs and the now horrible headache greeting me.

Jenn, who saw everything, bursted into a fit of laughter.

"buwahahahaha you-should ..hahaha have haha" She wheezed.

Wipe that creepy smile off your face.

Oh shut up, look at yourself.

What? I am just happy she can laugh genuinely.

Yeah yeah, don't think I forgot, you have some explanation to do I know you saw what I saw. I could sense your presence.

Time.

I blocked her, the headache is the worst but with the help from my goodies all things will get better.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE! HAHA" Jenn shouted, her laugher still not dying down.

I was sitting on the floor cross legged Looking up to Jenn who actually had tears in her eyes clutching her stomach.

She wiped her tears breathing deep in and out before talking.

"You had these sparkle in your eyes when you looked at the food, you even drooled." She chuckled, I quickly wiped my mouth to feel drool on the corners of my mouth.

Damn it.

"The moment you were falling, I don't think I can forget that expression. It was a combination of 'The moment your ice-cream falls on the ground' and ' Getting friend zoned' hah I wish I had that on tape"

"Yeah yeah it was embarrassing, let's move on"

She just giggeled in response.

I stood up , walked to the table where my goodies were, the first thing I noticed was the apple pie, the familiar smell of fresh baked apple pie , a small smile played on my lips.

"If you are wondering where we are, the kind old man helped me bring you up to one of the rooms, he also said that we can stay as long as we want"

She sat opposite of me, she looked at me.

"He seemed to kn-...Lily?"

I raised my gaze to her still in daze, she looked at me confused.

"Lily...are you ok?"

I shook my head, "Yes, why are you asking?"

She looked at me not sure"....It's just you looked...sad, scratch that you looked...heartbroken, like you are going to cry any second"

"...I don't know what you think you saw but I am ok, let's start eating "

"And no, I don't know Mr. Kingston"

"How did you know his name was Kingston?"

The voice was right.

I shrugged "I overheard your conversation"

We finished our late lunch, I kept my gaze on the apple pie, Jenn didn't like apple pies so she ate the cupcakes.

"Wafy dotshn't youtch eathat?" She asked her mouth full with half of her chocolate cupcake.

Translation "Why don't you eat?"

"I don't really like apple pies"

Jenn looked at me narrowing her eyes at me he cheeks full, a human squirrel my ladies and gentle man. She swallowed before she spoke.
