Chapter 4

  • Jennie Wilson POV
  • Maniac!!! Suddenly it reminded me of someone…
  • I don't know why but my heart was beating heavily like it was sensing the danger. I still can't forget the horror that had marred my brain.
  • “ Jennie...oh Jennie?” Lisa shook me, bringing me out of my stupor.
  • “Huh? What....” I came back to my consciousness.
  • “ Please pretty please stay with me, I am all alone, father is forcing me to stay in my cousin's apartment because he's afraid that I will stay all alone in a big house. I don’t want to be with my cousin though...” She whined.
  • “ Well I kinda agree.....first Rosé is all alone, second I can live free of cost, no hostel fees, no hostel restrictions or homes. Done I am in!” Lisa thumbed up.
  • “Yay.... Jennie..!?” Rosé and Lisa showed their puppy eyes.
  • “Nope, no, not at all...I don’t want to live without my parents. I can’t do it” I shook my head.
  • “Here we go.....you are not a kindergarten kid Jennie you are f***ing 18 idiot! ” Lisa smacked my shoulders.
  • “ I need to think , I need my parents opinion too” I said, biting my lip. Rosé and Lisa sighed.
  • “ Ok then let’s meet my cousin, he studies here too. He is 2 years older than me...so he is our Senior..” she chirped.
  • “You said your brother is a maniac...” Lisa said sarcastically.
  • “ Oh come on, I just want to introduce you both to him...” She pulled us by interlocking our hands with hers. We walked towards, I don't know where but it looked like we were going towards a canteen.
  • My eyes fall onto the huge hall. Even the canteen looked upscaled and lavish. Why does everything scream rich here?
  • Rosé waved at somebody. “ Hey cousin.... I am here! Look whom I brought with me!”
  • The person who had back-faced us had very broad shoulders, I could almost surf on it. He however didn't turn back and was busy talking.
  • " This person, he always ignores me! Excuse me, he's deaf in ears. " Rosé rolled her eyes.
  • “HEY LOSER!” She screamed, gathering almost everyone's attention. Finally he turned.
  • Woah....
  • God man.......my mouth dropped. An electric current zapped through my spine.
  • He started advancing towards us and his magnetic glare wasn't on Rosé but was piercing through me.
  • I stepped back a little little scared, but Rosé grabbed my arm and dragged me towards him.
  • “ Jennie, Lisa, meet my cousin Xavier!” She squealed, looking back and forth at us with an expectant.
  • Wow he was so charming...and he is tall, maybe 6’2. He looked like a Greek God. Everything about him was perfect and masculine. His face, his nose, his lips, everything.
  • He wore a black skin tight half sleeved shirt with two collar buttons opened and a black jeans with black belt.
  • You can see the muscle popping out from his half sleeve and his muscular chest from his opened buttons. Girls dreamed of such boys including me too....but I get nervous easily when I am around them. Handsome men.
  • No wonder I was shaking when he was coming towards us plus he was glaring at me continuously as if I was a specimen.
  • I involuntarily stepped back as he almost towered above us. God, we looked so tiny in front him.
  • He gave me and Lisa a weak smile and he put forward his hand for a handshake.
  • “ Pleasure meeting you Jennie.......and Lisa.” He let out a practiced smile. His eyes weren't leaving mine though.
  • It wasn't a fascinating or adorning one. It was as if I had wronged him some or the other way. Like he has met me before.
  • But it's my first time meeting him though. Why does every man I meet always give me these eerie feelings?
  • “ Bro...they are going to be my roommates..” Rosé jumped happily.
  • “Oh really!” He cocked his eyebrows and glared at me.
  • “No...not me...” I shuttered, flushed by his gaze.
  • “Well bro where are others....your girlfriend..?” Rosé said with excitement.
  • What!? He has a girlfriend…?
  • Well why not? Any girl would die for him. I looked at Lisa and she looked sad, pouting her lips as she heard Rosé's words.
  • Don't tell me she had plans on hitting this man.
  • “Uh that... she is not well, she isn’t here..and others I don’t know.” He shrugged his shoulders.
  • “ Hmm never mind....” Rosé said disappointed.
  • “Rosé we are getting late.....meet you next week ya..” Lisa pat Rosé’s shoulder.
  • “Hmm...ok..meet you soon and you Jennie please convince your parents” she hugged me.
  • “I’ll try, not promising anything..” I sighed.
  • We left the University. Lisa dropped me to my home and I waved her a goodbye. It was a tiring day....
  • It’s been 5 days....since admission. Another 2 days to go....
  • I felt like someone was glaring at me.... I turned but I found no one...everybody looked busy sipping their coffees, and some people were walking around.
  • Easy Jennie, nothing’s going to happen. Lisa and her mom are here only....
  • *After few hours*
  • “Let me drop you....it’s dark already..” Lisa said.
  • “ Father told me to bring some medicines for my mom, I need some things too..you can go it will be late for you..” I tapped her back.
  • “ Okay... Did you ask your parents about the house?” Lisa asked.
  • “Why should I, it’s decided already, I am not coming” I rolled my eyes.
  • “ Oh come on, Jennie please I can’t live there alone, besides I need my bestie out there” Lisa said showing puppy eyes.
  • “ I’ll try asking them..” I sighed.
  • “ Okay then see you tomorrow” Lisa hugged me. I waved her goodbye.
  • I bought some medicines and some household stuff from the stationary shop. I started walking down the streets..
  • I walked quickly feeling my skin prickle with the feeling of being watched, that was one of the reasons I didn’t like the dark. This certain paranoia that I was being watched was unavoidable.
  • I started walking a bit faster once I heard gravel crunching behind me, my heart rate picking with fear.
