Rick

Jen hardly taste her food, her face crimson with the embarrassment. Unaware of the entire situation, Jenny gets social with the biker's wife and the bunch of the group. Jenny smirks at me from there, displaying her charming self which says she doesn't need any help of mine, as if she knows nobody can dare to make any move on her unless they are looking for a fight. I glance away from her, stupid girl. After having a good long chat, Jenny returns to our table.

"They are such a nice gentlemen, unlike others" she eyed me distastefully.

"Good, now have your food. We are late already" I cut her curtly which earned me her dirty glare.

"I think I heard you outside the restroom" Jenny ask pointing her fork on Jen, Jen's colour scotched her cheek, she looks little uncomfortable and then I decide to intervene.

"I ask you to eat your food silently" I commanded with serious face.

"Yes headmaster" she mockingly rolled her eyes on me, I shook my head, little brute.

After the lunch, I ask the waitress for the bill, Jen excused herself and headed to restroom. I check her direction, keeping my eyes on those bikers, especially that wanker who is checking her out openly. One move from him and he is dead, I grip my hand into fist.

"Hey man, loosen up, she won't fly out of the restroom" Jenny pat on my shoulder and mischievously smile looking at me.

"Mind your own business and keep you nosy nose on your own life" She put a big frown on her face.

"My "nosy nose" huh?" she repeat the words in annoyance, I was about to retort but stop in midway watching Jen coming out of the restroom, she pass by the table of the bunch. Few bikers murmur something into each other's ear, Jen also notice them and looks uncomfortable when they share a laugh. Bastards, I get up from my seat after paying the bill, Jen reach to us looking down.

While we are living out of the restaurant I hear someone whistle, Jen is about to turn her head but I block her view. Her confuse eyes meet my angry ones, there is great deal of mix emotion passing between us and she knows the drill. She tucks her hair behind her ear nervously and return her gaze to the exit door. On the other side, Jenny waves her hands to bunch in a friendly manner without minding the whistle. I furrow my brow at her, Jenny is screwing my head.

"Said your goodbye, can we leave now" I tartly ask her and she flash a victorious smile, I am sure she is purposely doing this to rile up my mood.

"Yes, c'mon move fast" She walks ahead shrugging her shoulders like I am the one who is delaying, I inhale a frustrate sigh. Finally, we all hop onto the car for heading to the lonely roads. Jenny plays the song and Jen bury herself in the file. Jen used to be as lively as Jenny, she used to enjoy songs in a long drive and sing along with her own song, a tight smile curve on my lips. I miss those days when we were not awkwardly silent around each other. Not even when she found the truth, she used to fight me but never gave me a silent treatment in this way, I look back at her through the rear view mirror and she catches my eyes but quickly return her gaze on the book. It breaks my heart seeing her isolate me from her life, it give me another reason to hate her dad, who is the sole reason for it.

At last, we reach to our destination. Once we approach to the reception, we found there are only two rooms booked in our names and sadly they also don't have any spare room as this is alone hotel in this entire town. The reaction of these two girls is laughable, their affection for each other is quite visible to the world and now they are stuck together in a one room for weeks.

"I am not going to share this room with you." Jenny complained.

"I don't want this either" Jen also said in her lower voice.

Jenny called Ryan's secretary and fight with her for booking one room to them. I ignore their melodrama and swipe my card of hotel room but Jenny totally takes me off guard by coming dangerously closer to me in intimate way. Her eyes are teasing me and have mischievous sparkles in it, I become rigid.

"Do you mind to share your room, I mean you would be better company than Ms. Davis" I stare at her in bewilderment with agape mouth, she winks me while enjoying my daze. Instinctively, I look back to Jen. She looks away instantly, not showing any hint of botheration, yet I catch her biting her lower lip. She fumbles with her card to open the door and she lifts her solemn face to me for a split of second. Her eyes can talk without any words, she says she doesn't feel anything for me but her eyes are contradicting with her statement.

"Hey handsome, I'm waiting" Jenny interrupt giving me her sinister smile, I narrow my eyes on her and move from my door giving her a way.

"If you insist" Her jaw drop instantly, I knew she is just playing a prank on me and I love to defeat the person in their game. I am sure she has feelings for Ryan and she is not a type of person to flirt around, she is committed sort of girl. From the corner of my eyes, I check on the reaction of Jen, she is struggling to open her room. I can see little frown at her face, damn my life, if I want someone in my room that is her, no one else.

"Ms. Davis, do you mind?" She directly aims the question to Jen, probably her intention is to make Jen jealous but I don't like it. I don't want any third person's interference in our relationship.

"You are an adult and can take the decision of your own Ms. Watson" Jen replies hastily while entering the room, her nonchalant reaction makes me want to stop her there itself and ask her, is she seriously wants me to share my room to another girl. I dismiss my violent thought and angrily glare on Jenny.

"I think I better stay with her as I want to see the sun tomorrow" she giggle and run to her room, leaving me with rage.

The next day, after finishing my morning business I get ready to visit the venue. When I exited my room, my eyes land on the love of my life, no sight can be as blissful and beautiful as her. I always get mesmerize with her pure beauty, her hair is falling over her face, I am glad it's not tie up in tight ponytail as usual. She wears simple pink top over a long white skirt, she has slight dark circle below her eyes, it shows she doesn't get her proper sleep. Her lips to die for, how I wish I could kiss those tempting lips and greet her good morning for the rest of my life but as expected no words exchange between us. She walks into the lobby ignoring me completely.

"Hey, good morning" Jenny calls me from behind.

"Morning" I greet her back, at least I am visible to someone.

The town is beautiful, surrounded my spellbinding scenery. The new develop hotel of Richards is quite big and modest. The finalised contractor of Jen has already reached there, they sit together and start working on the plan. Jenny is looking around the bills of expenses, I meet up with the contractors and Jen is quite busy in instructing her team for the arrangement.

The channel partners are fawning about the idea and how this deal going to be fruitful, I pretend to listen them quietly but my mind stay focus on Jen. She is in her element, pacing back and forth around the building, scrutinizing everything sharply. She looks so confident and onto it, she is flawless and innovative in her work, she instructs her staff where to put cameras and projector, she shows the perfect place to cover the whole launch. I astonishingly watch her, she must be tired, I should call for a small break.

Jen takes a sit near garden facing window, she massage her neck keeping her head down, oblivious from my presence. As the hotel is yet to launch, we don't have kitchen staff for now. So, I have ordered coffees and snacks for crew, keeping her taste of the food in my mind. I ask one of the staff to handover her coffee and snacks, she humbly takes the coffee and snack box from him. Once the man left her with the food, her stomach grumble with the smell of food, she looks around hiding her embarrassment. I quickly hide myself behind the tall walls, she smiles checking her favourite food and my smile automatically appear on my face seeing her happy. I swear I can die for this beautiful smile.

In the evening, when three of us sit around the dining area of our hotel room, Jenny looks very annoyed. The light music plays in the background where few couple are dancing on the beats.

"Do you care to dance with me?" Jenny asks me all of sudden, why she is behaving strangely?

"Let's go back to our rooms." I announce avoiding her question.

"I want to enjoy a little, this whole work thing is taking a toll on me" she said dryly, something is eating up her inside for sure.

"You go and enjoy" I reply her in careless manner, she stomp on her feet and walk on the dance floor. Jen concerndly look over Jenny who is now carelessly swaying her hips.

"You are not coming" I ask her getting up from my seat, she simply shook her head. She thinks I can leave her in this crowded place, the answer is absolutely no.

"Do you also want to dance with a random guy?" I said it bitterly, she doesn't feel important to reply.

"Jen, let's go" I ask her again exasperatedly.

"You want to go then leave, you don't have to wait for me" eventually she replied without meeting my gaze, don't lose your cool Rick, helplessly I take back my seat, calling a waiter to grab a drink.

I feel Jen stiffen, the worry is written on her all over face, I glance at the direction where her eyes are fix on, it's on Jenny. She is taking the drink from an unknown man, Jen clutch her hand to her chest.

"Why are you worried?" I couldn't stop myself from asking.

"She is taking drink" she answered without realising that she is talking to me.

"So, what?" I don't understand.

"Stop her please, he might have spiked her drink" My heart seize up with despair and guilt, she probably taunting me, I pull her chair harshly near me to demand her attention.

"What are you implying Ms. Davis?" her confuse eyes widen, she awakes from her trance and discovered what just she said.

"Nothing" she said getting up from her seat, I stop her in the mid.

"Where do you think you are going?" I ask clenching my jaw tight.

"Going to stop her from doing something crazy" she retorts back yanking my hand away, her eyes turn fierce.

"Don't touch me" she screech pointing a finger on me, I am so mad at her for insulting me time on time, she knows me enough but still dare to defy me.

"Hey, what's going on?" A uncertain voice interject between, we both turn at same time to see Jenny with a guy.

"Nothing" Jen replied quickly, I can see the relief in her eyes looking at Jenny all perfectly fine.

"That's good, guys I want you to meet this handsome hunk Ashton" That guy smirk and stretch his hand to me, I don't feel important to address his presence. He shift his gaze on Jen playfully and she shakes her hand with him, my body tense because I have a feeling I know why Jenny fetch this guy here, I glare at Jenny and she is trying hard to hide her smile.

"Ms. Davis, Ashton wants to have a pleasure to dance with you" and she did it, Jen fluster and about to refuse.

"It's just one dance, what harm can it do" the Ashton guy shyly scratch his neck, blushing like a teenage boy, it may look cute to other but very disturbing to me. Before I could shriek him away, Jen accept his offer. What the fuck? Perhaps, her way of saying me get out of her business. That wanker has a nerve to hold her waist, Jen's face fluster yet she swings with him on the music slowly.

An Anger burn through me looking at Jen in another man's arms, I spread my fingers on each side willing my fist not to ball up in fury, calm down Rick or this will take an ugly turn once my devil will come out. Jenny clear her throat for my attention, I murderously stare her, she looks amuse.

"This is for calling me Nosy" I just want to throttle her until she takes last of her breath.

"Rather than wasting your time glaring on me, you should do something productive before Ashton steal your girl away" The jolt of pain slice through the weight of her words, I turn back to them.

"Man up and go, ask your girl to dance with you" No I won't, I don't want to show her my feelings, this will give her another chance to reject me.

I watch that scumbag is trying to get intimate with her by pulling her closer to him, Jen is struggling to make distance between them but the guy keeps flirting with her. Jenny's words echoed in my head, she is right. I couldn't sit dumfounded while someone is trying to take what's mine. Swallowing my pride I walk straight to them, that Ashton guy narrows his eyes at me when I snatch Jen's arm and pull her into me, my arm snake around her waist moulding her body to me. Her shock eyes lock with mine, she is almost holding her breath. Ashton is smart enough not to cut me in between, I just lost into her by having her this close. Her feet move to get away from me but I hold her tight to me, not leaving her at all. The music changes into the slow rhythm, all couples are dancing on the beat wrapping their arms around each other with intamacy, I urge for the same.

"Leave me" Jen mutter as a whisper, I lean towards her mouth to hear her properly.

"I said leave me" this time she raise her voice little.

"Why? A moment ago, you were having a blast on the dance floor" I sarcastically mock her, keeping my anger on a bay, she cutely frown.

"I don't want to dance with you" her words works like a cracker, my hand reach to the nape of her neck, tugging her hair in my grip I yank back to have a proper look of her.

"You don't want me but you are ready to intimate with any stranger" the anger boil up in me, her rejection always knifes my pride and this is it.

"I will do as I want, you don't have a say in my life" she spit out in anger, her eyes moist.

"Hell yes, you will do what I want and right now I want to kiss the hell out of you" Before she could protest, I clasp her firmly in my embrace and lift almost her feet as my lips find hers. My all frustration, my anger, my pain and my love for her, everything I put into the kiss, I grab her face in both my hands and kiss her angrily putting my hand behind her to restrain her from separating from my mouth. The angry kiss slowly turn into sensual, I devour her mouth enjoying her sweetness, damn I am in heaven. This kiss is suppose to be her punishment for showing her who she belongs to but I forget everything when her lips attach to mine, I kiss her tenderly with passion and my grip loosen on her. She is still struggling in my arms and I don't care at all.
