Jenny's point of view….
…...Next morning
I opened my eyes and closed it back. It was morning but I did not feel like waking up. I wanted to escape reality, there was no way I could do that, only if I am dead. I thought about it, will being dead be better than being under the same roof with Zain. The latter was the best so I opened my eyes and stared at my suitcase I left at the feet of my closet. I did not get to pack my clothes yesterday, hopefully I will do it now before we leave. I don't believe we will be leaving so soon or maybe we will, who knows?
I yearned and let myself out of the bed.
"Morning Jenny, welcome to a brand new day my love"
I said to myself and chuckled. Someone seeing me will think I was talking to another person. It's my way, I have always talked to myself like a third person since I was a teenager.
I walked to the closet and opened it wide and stared at the clothes in there. Most of them I bought myself, at fifteen, mom stopped getting things for me, I did all the shopping. All she had to do was to give me morning and I am good to go.
Having stared enough with no reason for staring, I started picking the clothes I know I will need at Reben Castle. While I picked the clothes, I picked the ones that are not more revealing or sexy, mostly the ones that are less attractive. Like mom said, if Susan gets strong in a few months, probably two or three, I would not have to stay there anymore and my prayer is that she just has to be strong in three days so that I would not have a reason to stay in Reben Castle.
If I could actually stay three days torelating Zain, then I could do the rest. I just have to find a way to do it.
I got down with the packing when a knock came at the door.
"Come in, the door is open"
I said with my back turned at the door.
"Good morning, Jenny. You did sleep well, right?"
I heard mom's voice behind me.
"Morning mom, I did sleep well. Hope you did too?"
"I did, my darling. I see you are up this morning, readying to leave your poor mother alone"
She said, a bit sadly.
I don't get it. She is sad now yet she is the one that threatened me.
"Mom, I will be back in a few months. You are saying this as if I am the one who is insisting on going."
I said, trying not to sound rude.
"Jenny, be ready soon enough so you both will leave early. I will just go and put up something for you to eat before leaving"
She said and left.
I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Sorry Mom I had to be like that"
I know I can be an asshole but I shouldn't take my aggregation on mom. if I should be angry with anyone it has to be zain because he is my problem, not mom not Susan.
Having had enough of the quiet time to myself, I picked up my towel and walked into the bathroom to have my morning bath.
Normally, I would have taken up to thirty minutes but because I did not feel like it today, I rushed the bath and I was out in a jiffy, looking fresh and clean.
I blindly walked into my room and when I opened it, Zain was sitting quietly on my bed sizing me up. I cringed and almost yelled when I remembered that mom is just a few inches away from my room. She could come asking why I am yelling and would also find it rude to know it's Zain I was yelling at.
"What the hell are you doing in my room, Mr Zain Kabbah?"
I asked with a low pitched voice.
"This is my room and you don't have a right to be here."
I fumed further.
"I once had that right, what changed?"
"You must be insane to ask me that question. See, I am not known to be rude but get the hell out of my room. I don't want to see your ugly face around here"
I said, trying to simmer down. I have to for my own good. He can't be the reason I will be getting a headache. He is not worth it.
"I see you are more of a tigress than a lamb. I like what I am seeing. I was here to wish you my beloved good morning. I know you don't like me but don't show it for the time you are going to stay with me and your sister. Pretend as if you never met me. It's a tip I am giving, I can be stubborn and annoying and annoying is what I do best. Getting under your skin will be a fun thing to do"
He said and smirked then stood up and walked out of the room.
My hands began shaking because of anger and I tried controlling it but I could not. This is what Zain does to me. He knows me so much that he knows the right buttons to press when it comes to me.
I wished I would not have to react to him and it would be the best thing. How can he still have this effect on me after three years?
I tried the breathing in and out process and I was fine in no time.
Too much for having an asshole as an ex. If it's his plan to drain me then he is a liar. I might not have gotten over him but still, he would regret ever breaking my heart. He is the one who is the loser , not me.
I slowly sat on my bed to be calmer before putting in something on my skin. Exes are b*tches and b*stare.
