Chapter 19:Invitation
"So much fun you had,eh?"
A haunting voice that had been missing for weeks came back into my ears.
"Jenna?" I ask,speculating it was her.
"Indeed. Look into that mirror by your vanity."
I followed her orders as I come closer to my vanity mirror.
"What do you want?" I ask,expecting for another 'mission'.
"Remember the talk we had weeks ago?"
"Yeah.. why?"
"I told u before that the Abrahams have a secret untold.. and I chose you to uncover that for me,continue the things I have been trying to achieve when I was still in this world of shit."
"So what's this 'secret untold'? Nice statement btw."
"This is not a joke! Anyways,as I was saying,before I was rudely interrupted.. I hope Mrs.Abrahams told you she remarried again?"
"Yeah.. wow! You do know everything!"
"Of course I do! Anyways,I hope you know the reason why?"
"Unfortunately,no."
"*sigh* it wasn't because the love was 'fading away',it was becoz she was forced to marry Oscar Abrahams."
"Huh?W-What do you mean?"
"We don't have much time for talking,look.. all you gotta do is do what you're doing now. Have fun. Make your relationship with Archie go deeper. Use him in finding out that secret. Ya got it?"
"W-what? I don't understand? Why are we doing this,again?"
"Psycho! I said just do it!"
"Okay! Okay! Gawd!"
I don't know anything about we're doing or what I'm about to do. I barely even know Jenna, She's that creepy ghost wearing a blood-stained uniform girl that creeped the hell out of me when her creepy face suddently appeared by the mirror!
I don't even know her plan nor why she's doing htis against the Abrahams and I don't even know anything about the 'secret untold'! Or the reason why Mrs.Abrahams remarried again. And even if I did,so what? I don't have the right to get myself between their family issues! And neither would I use my growing relationship with Archie just for this! Sure,I'd like the relationship go deeper,but not in this way! I barely even know them! So I ask myself,Why am I doing this? Am I doing this for her? Or am I doing this for myself? I don't know anymore!
***
I grab my phone as I write a text message to Archie.. lets just give this a try and pray for ourselves that this works..
Hailee: Are you busy right now?
Archie:Wait! So first you had an interest in me,and now you're having interest in my time schedule? Where's this going?
Hailee: I definitely don't know what you're talking about..
Archie: You can stop acting like the good one now! Okay! I give up! What do you want,cupcake?
Hailee:cupcake? Srsly,I think you should go see a doctor. I feel like there's really something wrong with you..
Archie:People,or should I say COUPLES call each other nicknames. So is it bad if I made one for my girlfriend?
Hailee:oh so now you're calling me ur 'girlfriend'?
Archie: Yup. Coz that's what you are to me! But srsly,this time.. I really need to tell you something important..
Hailee:Okay?
Archie: *clears throat*
I LOVE YOU!
Hailee: 😶
Archie:Did it work? Did you blush?
Hailee:Haha. Very funny.
Archie:Okay. The next thing I'm about to tell you would definitely be the REAL important one..
Hailee:This better be a joke..
Archie:What? No!
Hailee:Fine.. If you say so..
Archie: So I kind of told my parents we were dating and that I asked you to be my girlfriend a week ago,and you said yes. So now they were wondering if you could come by for dinner tonight.
Hailee:You are such a liar!!
I had to admit,I nearly screamed the hell out of here!
Archie:No!! I'm serious!
Hailee:Wait.. What? You are??
Archie:Yeah.. I guess so! 😂
Hailee:What were you thinking??
Archie:Dunno. Just come over for dinner.. pwease?? 😢
Hailee:Ugh.. fine,but only because I owe you that 75 cents.
Archie:That was only 75 cents! But, thanks to the 75cents! Oh and don't forget to wear something formal.. See you later,pumpkin!
Hailee: and now you call me pumpkin! Great!
Chat ended.
"Don't even think about not going."
A voice popped out from behind. Jenna.
"I'm still thinking about it.."
"Stop thinking and start doing,bitch!"

Archie's POV
*knock! Knock!*
Wendy,our head maid opened the door for Hailee..
I might just made a big lie and now we have to pretend to be oh-so-sweet lovers,but is it odd if I think of her the other way around? Like there's something about her that keeps me wondering..
"Good eve,Madam!" Wendy greeted Hailee who was dressed in a black and white stripped,ruffled, above-the-knee dress together with red colored stilletos,her friendship bracelet which were given by her friends,pearl earrings,her hair brushed finely matching with a white headband and had a simple make-up on the thing that attracted my eyes most,she wore a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. The pendant landed between her cleavage. Sexy! I like that! Though there was something unusual about her outfit.. she had a suitcase with her.. ???
I bit my lip at the sight of her. I had to admit,I never thought she'd be sexier than this! *whistles in imagination*
"What?" She asked as she came towards my direction.
"Hailee! Dearie! Come over here! Oh you look absolutely gorgeous tonight! As always,of course!"
Mom spoke out before I could even response. Mom and Oscar (No,I'm never gonna call him dad.) Stood in front of the table approaching the both of us,whilst Samantha had her arms crossed around each other with her eyeballs spinning round and round every second. 😂😂
"Good evening! We were so delighted hearing the great news from Archie! I can't wait to have cute grandchildren from the both of you!"
😶😶😶
The both of us chuckle.. she is really being embarrassing right now..
"Well.. I don't know about Samantha! *chuckles*"
"What's the suitcase for,honey?"
"Oh right! I almost forgot about that! My mom is out of town at the moment and would be back for like a month and when I told her I had a boyfriend,she wondered if it would be okay if I stayed in for a while?"
Goddamn it! Please say she's staying in my room! *crossed fingers in imagination*
Mom's eyes glared in shiness.
"Eek! Of course! You could stay as long as you'd like! Why don't you share a room with Archie! Don't you think that's great,Oscar?"
"Absolutely! Archie,guide her to your room so she could drop that suitecase."
***
[Door opens then closes]
"So you're staying here for a month?"
"Yey! Isn't that great? I get to spend the nights with you!"
"I don't get why you're surprised by all of this.. shouldn't you be depressed and stuff?"
"I'm being sarcastic,idiot!"
"Oh.. uhh.."
I scratched my neck from behind..
"Are you sure you're only spending it for a month?"
"Uh huh.."
"No extensions?"
"Nu uh! No extensions,yet possible that my stay here would be a little bit shorter.."
"Booh! Party pooper over here!"
"Okay,can you just shut up right now?"
"Kids! Dinner's ready!" Mom calls for our attention.
"Good luck to the both of us,then."
