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.
