Why are you jerky

Ivanie finally stepped out the bathroom using a clutch, she was going to walk pass Vlad and hurry to the bed but he was quick to take her in his arms carrying her to the bed.

Vlad finally lay her on the bed and he tried making sure she was comfortable.

Ivanie took the blanket and cover her face hurriedly.

"Don't be embarrassed Ivanie, i didn't know it wasn't that big of a deal I was only trying to look out for you." Vlad told her.

Ivanie peek through the blanket and stare at him.

"Does it still hurts a lot?" Vlad asked and she shook her head.

"A little....." Ivanie told him.

She turned on the bed the pain acting up again, Ivanie wince folding her leg and pulling the pillow to her chest hugging it tightly.

Vlad took the duvet aside and came on the bed pulling Ivanie unto his chest.

"How about now?" He asked.

Ivanie flushed she looked at him speechless what was he doing, she wonder.

She lean in on him as the pain began to lessen and she drift off to sleep being caress by Vlad who had taken pleasure in massaging her head with his finger.

Noticing she was asleep Vlad brought out his phone and began making research on women monthly circle, he read articles on it and spend the night looking it up .

There was a knock on Britneys window she flinch on her bed.

"What in the world??? " She got up the bed grabbing her pillow in process hoping she wasn't about to encourage some sort of dangerous situation.

There was a knock on the window again, Britney threw it open ready to hit whatever it may be, but surprising it was Malachi whose head pop up as soon as she opened the window.

"The heck Malachi, what do you think you are doing knocking on my window so late in the night?" Britney asked watching as Malachi climb up the placement and made his way into her room.

"I figured out we have something to discuss about Britney" Malachi said dusting his dirty palm.

"We have nothing to discuss about Malachi go away " Britney said moving away from the window while leaving it open.

"Britney we can't keep on ignoring the matter here, do you know how hard it was climbing the high walls to your room just to see you, I even had to pay off the gateman just so he could let me in" Malachi said.

"What! you paid off the gateman? I think we need a change of security here, seems losers are getting to have their way around" Britney said, Malachi ignored that and continue anyway.

" I don't like it when we argue about meaningless things, I don't know my fault in this but am really sorry" Malachi said.

"Right that all you have to say, and I don't understand why am worriedly mad it not like I care anyway but why am I concern?" Britney said throwing her hands wildly around.

"Shush your parents would hear" Malachi said coming over to her to cover her lips.

He stare down at Britney hearing sounds of footsteps walk pass the hallway. They both gaze at each other even after the foot step was gone.

Malachi was the first to step away, Britney who was lost in his gaze was quick to compose herself, she blink rapidly moving back so she could take her seat on the bed.

"Tell me why you were mad?" Malachi asked.

Britney didn't know what to say, she tried hard to think of a story she could cook up, there was no way she was telling him why she was pissed off.

"You .... you called me a fool the other day....and ..... And I didn't like it" Britney said she quickly lick her lips avoiding Malachi confused gaze.

"I did??" He asked surprised trying to remember when he ever called her a fool.

"What you mean am lying? fine, go away " Britney said.

"No ...no wait..... I am sorry... I can't quite recollect when I did but...am sorry" he told her taking her hand into his " Britney sigh relaxing back.

"You are very unbelievable" Britney told him and he grinned.

"Unmatched am just the best" Malachi said.

"Shut up" Britney replied and he laughed.

"Goodness you are hard to please, I wonder how your boyfriend would cope once you start dating him the poor dude" Malachi said jokingly.

Britney frown.

"Get out" she told him.

"What?" Malachi asked surprised.

"Get out right now" she said standing up while dragging him back to the window he came in through.

"That soon, what now?" Malachi asked letting her push him out through the window.

"Don't tell me you plan on spending the night here?" Britney said.

"Well that doesn't sound like a bad idea we slept on the same bed once before remember...." Britney hit his back and made sure he was out her room the next minute.

She sigh as soon as She close the window slides on Malachi face.

Jaennie closed the shop and drop the key in her bag, she began making her way home passing through the silent street she always take home.

As she was nearing the bus stop she was met with a gang of men who double crossed her in both sides.

"Would you look who it is" one of them said whistle.

"A pretty lady, shall we help with the bag it seems heavy" another said.

"Nahhh maybe not the bag but help her relieve today stress" they all busy into Laughter .

"Stay away" Jaennie told them.

"Oh come on it would be a quickie I promise" Jaennie move back as they began closing in on her, one of them who got too close was hit by her bag.

He wince Jaennie took the cue to run, she ran back to where she was coming from panicking she look back to see them almost catching up on her.

"Hey stop right there..... You ... Hey I would mess you up so badly you will cry for more" he cried after her. Jaennie increased her pace, fearing for the worst.

She look back again and crashed into someone who was coming her way.

Before she could fall back he pulled her back by the waist and unto his chest.

The men running after Jaennie slow their pace coming to a stop Seeing her with someone.

"What wrong babe, I have been looking all over for you?" Jaennie heard a familiar voice loudly say to her hearing and the men behind her.

Jaennie head snap up to see Jace, he held her so tightly she could smell his perfume penetrating her nostril nicely.

"Jace??" The men behind her heard her call.

Jace look away from her to see the men who were contemplating their next action.

He gave them a cold look it was so daring, seeing another man stand behind him with a folded hand, they didn't think twice before backing off.

Jaennie look behind her to see them all gone.

Jace let go of her and she stepped away, she pull her hair behind her ears.

"Why do you always attract trouble?" Vlad asked handling her a cold bottled water he got from his car, Jaennie took a large gulp from it and sigh.

"Maybe I was born with a magnet of trouble it attracts one every where I go" Jaennie said making fun of her situation and not wanting to think about what just unfolded.

"Why are you in this area by the way?" Jaennie asked .

Jace pocketed his hand and relax before Saying.

"I was going to have a late night snacks before heading back home but seems you closed the shop already" Jace said looking pitiful the best way he could.

Jaennie noticed how he indeed nailed looking pitiful.

"Um do you want to have ice cream? am craving for one" Jaennie asked.

Jace pressed his lips together trying to hide his smile.

"Sure but it your treat" Jace said and Jaennie nodded.

"I owe you one anyway" she replied him.

Minutes later the chauffeur had gone to park the car while he sat in it to wait for his young boss.

Jace scoop another spoon of cold malt flavour into his mouth, it is the best one he had yet.

He was concentrated on savouring the flavour he didn't noticed how Jaennie took interest in looking at him.

"They sell the best here" Jace commented, he look up and around the road side ice cream shop, I would recommend a five star to them it worth it."Jace said.

"My mom took me here when I was little, she always made sure I had my fill" Jaennie said smiling at the fond memories she had.

"Your mom, I have never seen your mom" Jace said.

"She passed away three years ago, I was barely fifteen then" Jaennie said looking into her chocolate flavored ice cream cup.

"Oh.... I am sorry " Jace apologize.

"It okay I am over it" Jaennie told her.

"So you live with your dad now isn't it" Jace said.

"I don't know who my dad is, my mom never mention him to us she always tells me he's unimportant and irrelevant to our lives" Jaennie said.

"Seem he's another irresponsible man, and us?" Jace asked.

"My brother and I" she replied, Jace blinked she lives by herself with no guidance or assistance no wonder she works a part-time after school. Jace thought.

He felt bad for her, life isn't always easy, especially if you ain't born with a golden spoon, life becomes another type of mockery until it favours you.

"You are strong, very strong and it a beautiful thing" Jace said and Jaennie blushed.
