MATCHMAKER

Soon breakfast is finished.

' We need to start packing' Orion says as the Ferocious Four stands up.

' We should also gather our things ' Leo says.

Soon the dining is empty.

***********

Helena's Pov

When we got to my room, Orion gave me a helpless look. I know what is going on. He wants to ask for my help.

This is a money making opportunity.

' Um.. Helena I was wondering if you could help me get um.. Kelly's number ' He says.

I looked at him angrily. No hard feelings but Orion is a f*cking player. Sure he buys the girls gift and pampers them but only for a maximum duration of two months. There's no way I will let Kelly be heartbroken.

' Now don't give me that look. I just really want to know her. She has this serene aura that makes me feel at peace. I promise I won't do anything stupid.' Orion explains.

I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

' Promise?' I ask.

' Promise ' He replies.

' Whoa what is happening to the Ferocious Four?

Our guys are finding love in the City of Gods. When will my turn come?' Beverley laments dramatically.

' Oh please. So can I have her number?' Orion ask.

' Sure. Give me 0.5 ' I say.

' Okay which account do you want it in?' He replies.

Whoa! Orion was seriously serious about Kelly.

' Don't mind me. I will arrange a meeting for you both so that you can collect it personally ' I say.

Orion hugs me and says ' Thank you Helena. This is one of the reason I love you '

' Oh please keep your love to yourself and to Kelly ' I say. I text Kelly to ask if it was okay to meet at the garden. She replied in affirmative.

' Come on. Let's go and meet her' I say.

' Now? Wait let me fix my hair, is my shirt okay? is there anything on my face?' He asked all at once.

I dragged him away and took him to the garden.

I met Kelly seated on the swing.

' Hi Kelly.Remembee my friend Orion. Well he's been pestering me to meet you. So he would like to take a bit of your time. Bye!' I say and run away before she could ask any questions.

I got back to the room and there I saw Jimmy waiting for me while Beverley was trying so hard not to laugh.

' What's wrong Jimmy?' I ask.

' Take me to see Bianca ' He replies.

What in the... Since when did I become a matchmaker?.

' Fine. Let's go' I say.

' Hold on! You didn't charge him or even interrogate him?' Beverley ask.

All this lady wants is drama.

' No can't do Beverley. My Jimmy is responsible. He is not called the rational one for nothing. Let's go Jimmy ' I say.

I took Jimmy to Bianca's room.

Bianca's POV

Isn't it funny? I have a celebrity crush on Jurassic. Jack is my boyfriend and I think I like Jimmy.

What the hell is my problem with the letter J?

My ex's name is Justin and the guy before that was Jude.

Now it's Jimmy.

Jimmy the guy that has been tormenting my heart. Is it weird that I want run my hands through his hair. I remember when we were dancing, he had his hands wrapped around my waist. Just imagine lying next to him with his arms wrapped around my waist. Then his hands will slowly descend lower and lower and...

Bianca Astrovana! What are you thinking?

I heard a knock on the door and I went to open it and there...

There was the guy who reigned supreme in my heart.

' Bianca, Jimmy wanted to speak to you ' Helena says.

Jimmy wanted to talk to me!! Ah my heart!

' Actually it's about Helena I..' Jimmy was saying but Helena cuts him short.

So Jimmy wants to speak with me about Helena??

' Oh please! Don't use me as an excuse. Listen Bianca all your discussion will end with your number been taken. Helena Out!!' Helena says winking at me.

What did she mean?

' Can I come in?' Jimmy ask .

Where are my manners?

' Of course ' I reply. For some reason, I closed the door when he entered.

He sat down on my bed like he was meant to be here.

' I might need to ask you a favour ' He says.

' Sure go on' I reply.

' Please remind Helena to take her drugs. If it's possible force her to take it.' Jimmy says.

Why does Helena need medicine?

' Why??' I ask.

' Helena is insomniac and can only sleep a little when she takes her drugs. One more thing, Don't allow her eat little, at least two plates ' Jimmy says.

' Two plates?? Why?' I ask again

' For someone who hardly gets sleep, she needs to eat more than normal so she won't fall sick.' Jimmy replies.

So that's why Helena always eat a lot.

' One more thing, She has a very quick temper especially during this month. So she becomes quite easily angered.' Jimmy says.

' I don't think Helena can ever get angry. She is so sweet and adorable.' I say.

I can never imagine an angry Helena.

' Trust me it's an ugly sight. The person close to her will receive severe beatings so much that you won't recognise the person.' Jimmy says

' Yes just like at the Gala. Helena beat up all the man there.' I recalled.

' I know I can trust you. Your brother Aiden will be to rude, Adam will be too lenient.' He says.

Did he want me to melt??

' Thank you for trusting me ' I say.

' One more thing...' He says.

I looked up in anticipation.

' I will come back to New York in a fortnight. Can we go out?' Jimmy ask.

Was he asking me out? I really want to say yes but I can't do this to Jack.

' Jimmy I have a boyfriend.' I say.

' I know' He replies.

He did?

' You do?? Then why did you ask me?' I asked.

' Two weeks is a long time. I have been watching you, your relationship is at the stage where it is falling apart and two weeks is more than enough time ' Jimmy says.

What the hell!! What sick logic was that??

' And if it doesn't happen?' I ask.

' I know it will but if it doesn't, I will get Helena to arrange a trip for everyone and during the trip your room will be coincidentally close to mine. And at night, I will come through your window and take you to the beach. And then we'll go to the amusement park and then have your icecream.'

This guy was something else. But I suddenly felt hot imagining the scene. Jimmy climbing my window, us at the beach and then we might even lock lips at the amusement park.

Aargh! What am I thinking??

' Do you always do this to any woman you just meet?' I ask.

' No. I feel our connection is much more deeper than that of strangers or acquaintances ' Jimmy replies.

That was exactly how I felt. It felt as though I have known him forever.

' So can I have your number?' He asked.

my belly was somersaulting in happiness. Helena was right. All our discussion will end with my number being taken. I gave him my number but he didn't give me his. Well I don't even know if I will find courage to call him.

I imagined the both of us talking the whole night. And I could feel the heat build up in my body.

He raised my chin and says.

' You look cute when you are shy. Your face, neck and ears are so red. You have the loveliest green eyes. They remind me of Emeralds.'

I blushed even harder.

He leaned in close and then..

I just knew he would kiss me. Finally, I would know how his mouth taste like. I felt his lips land on my cheek! What the freaking fudge?

' Why not on my lips?' I blurted.

Oh no what did I say?

' You are someone else's girlfriend and I wouldn't do that to him because I wouldn't like anyone tampering with what is mine. It's okay.

In a matter of a Fortnight your wish will come through ' Jimmy says.

What the...

He stood up. 'I will take my leave ' he says.

All good things come to an end.

I stood up to see him out when he pulled me into his arms. He hugged me! Jimmy Jennova hugged me. His muscular arms were wrapped around me. I hugged him back.

We reluctantly broke the hug and then he kissed my other cheek. ' See you in a Fortnight ' He says and the moment he opened the door, I felt blood drain from my body.

*********

Kelly's POV

Were people from Florida all god-like?

He had hazel brown hair and blue eyes.

' Umm. We came here at such short notice so there wasn't enough time for me to familiarise with you, so you may be wanna go out in a Fortnight.?' He asked.

Was he asking me out?

I badly wanted to say yes but..

' Sure but may I ask why??' I ask.

' I think we should get to know each other, we might become great friends and perhaps something more ' He replies.

I felt butterflies swarm in my belly.

' Can I have your number??' He asked.

He didn't even give me a chance to recover.

We exchanged numbers.

' Thank you very much ' He says with a bright smile. He brushed my hair behind my ears and then says ' I will see you in a Fortnight '

*************

Author's POV

Helena was peacefully heading to her room when Leo stopped her.

' Helena darling. Please can you convince your friend to give me her number' Leo says.

' No way am I playing matchmaker again ' Helena protests.

' Please Helena ' Leo pleads.

' Ask her yourself. Here she comes ' Helena replies.

' Beverley, Leo needs your number ' Helena says and leaves.

' You do??' Beverley ask.

' Yes I do. Can I?' Leo replies.

The two exchange contact.

**********

Bianca's POV

Jack was standing at the door.

' You are here??' Jack asks Jimmy.

' Yes. I need someone to monitor my Helena. I was just leaving ' Jimmy says and leaves.

' I wanted to check on you. You didn't look fine earlier ' Jack says.

' I am fine ' I reply.

He entered the room and placed his hands on my waist. ' I am glad ' He says.

I know where this is heading.

Sex.

We have been dating for six months now and we've had sex about four times.

Don't give me that dirty look. I am twenty one of course I have had sex.

My first was Jude. I was sixteen then. I went abroad without my parents so I could take a test to enter a posh college. I met him there.

my second was with Justin. He was my senior in college. Then Jack.

And I don't feel like getting intimate with Jack.

' Jack we can't do it ' I blurted.

Why am I so blunt today??

' Why?' He asked.

' I.. it's that time of the month' I lied.

He immediately removed his hands from me like he was disgusted.

What the...

' I will see you later. He says and leaves.

I think I have found a trick to stay away from Jack.

Wasn't he meant to hug me and buy me gifts like the movies?? Yep I am definitely breaking up with him.

I heard Helena's voice saying her friends were leaving. I bolted to the living room
