Jennifer

The door creaked open, "I heard you got injured." I looked up and saw Hiten looking mad.

"Just a little bit, nothing serious." I said and noticed a bruise on his jaw and a little blood around his lips, "Forget about me, what happened to you?" I pointed towards his face.

"Oh, it's nothing, baby." He shook his head as he came closer to me, "Mr. Reynolds, I can take care of her from here." He said practically stealing the ointment out of his hands which has already been applied. I wanted to scream at him to get lost, but rather I looked at him in disbelief.

How the hell did he get to know about it?

Mr. Reynolds looked unsure for a moment, but left nonetheless. What can I say? Please sir, don't leave me with this dumbass. Nope, never.

"Baby, how are you feeling?" I rolled my eyes internally. Can I kick him down from the top of Burj Khalifa?

"Stop calling me baby." I smacked him on his head because I can see him totally losing his mind.

"Don't act innocent, have you forgotten that you sent me flowers and chocolates yesterday with the message saying, "thank you baby"

My jaw dropped, that it could literally touch the ground. Maybe my brain got permanently damaged after falling because I think I am hearing things, I would never ever do anything like that in my entire life or rather the lifetimes I get to live.

"WAIT..... SO YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT I..." I pointed a finger towards me to make sure he gets what I'm going to say next, "SENT YOU FREAKING FLOWERS AND CHOCOLATES WITH A NOTE SAYING 'THANK YOU BABY'" I said a bit loud and looked at him expectantly.

"Yes, baby" Hiten said, smiling and all I wanted to do was punch him hard.

"Let's cut the crap, where is the camera? Where do I need to wave my hand to end all of this?" I looked around the room for any cue of camera or people hidden around the room who would shout any minute saying, 'You are being pranked' but no there were none.

"If you wanted me to take you on a date, then all you needed to do was ask. Now let's end all of this facade and I'm taking you on a date this weekend. Happy?" He smiled which obviously seems creepy to me.

I think I'm gonna go crazy. Where are the good guys? Is the manufacturing of good guys banned where I live?

This made me realise that I already kinda have a fiancé who will be marrying me someday after completing college. What if he turns out to be one of these jerks who makes me go mad everytime they appear before me or worse, a womanizer.

What would I do then? I would be stuck with that man for the rest of my life. These thoughts scare the hell out of me. I just hope that the guy got some brain cells and leaves me the hell alone to do whatever I want.

But who am I kidding? I haven't even met him yet.

"Earth to baby." Hiten waved his hands in front of my face, making me come out of my weird thoughts.

"If you call me baby one more time, then mark my words clearly that there would be no other option for me other than to send you to the mental hospital." I said in the best intimidating voice I could muster.

He seemed to be deep in thought before he leaned closer to me, that I practically had to back away in my chair. He continued to come closer to me until I had to put my hands on his chest to maintain distance.

"Is that so, baby?" He said looking straight in my eyes. All I want to do is puke on him.

The door creaked open with more force than necessary with the beaming face of Monica, "Hey, I'm sorry I got caught up with the girls." She said as soon as she set foot in the room.

"What?" I said at the same time when Hiten said, "I never knew that you are into the same gender."

"No, I'm straight Hiten." She said, blowing a quick kiss his way and turned to me, "You know the girls these days, they wanted me to teach them how to punish jerks. You know people enjoyed the show I put up today for taking revenge."

"God, I never expected this to happen." I said laughing.

"Not only that, but you know YouTube and other social media sites..." Monica drawled, to create suspense.

"Just tell me already. You know I don't like suspense." I replied as I waited impatiently.

"Someone shot the video and it got viral. It's trending on number one. I still can't believe it, I mean I'm so happy and honoured. I can't even explain it in words." She said and didn't stop there.

Monica continued to ramble nonchalantly about how this turns out to be a lucky day. It feels like I'll get old listening to how she's a role model for each and every girl who goes through the ridiculous behaviour of jerks like Adam.

"Hey, will you ever stop?" It was Hiten who finally made Monica come to halt only to clap her hands together before continuing, "Oh, yes, how can I forget? You beat up Adam—" I cut off Monica and turned towards Hiten surprised, "What the hell, you beat up Adam? Is that why you have a bruised lip and jaw?" I can't believe it.

"Umm yeah" He said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Number two trending video." Monica said, giving thumbs up to Hiten. I facepalmed myself.

"The question here is why?" I asked, looking at no one in particular.

"Silly, for you obviously." Monica responded, sending a quick wink my way.

"Please Monica, I just want to know one thing and you have to promise me that you will answer truthfully." I said, looking at Monica and she replied with a quick, "I'll never ever lie to you."

"Were you or were you not the one who se—" I was cut off as the door opened for the third time since I have been here without knocking first, revealing Mr. Reynolds. He looked between Hiten and me, for a moment with a sort of irritation, however he quickly covered it when he said, "I believe I forgot my phone here. Have you seen it?" He questioned me.

I looked around me and spotted an iPhone on the wooden stool. I picked it up and passed it to him. In the process our fingers brushed against each other and I felt the tingling sensation again. I wonder if it's only me who felt it?

"Do you need my help?" He questioned me, completely ignoring the fact that Hiten and Monica are here with us. I wanted to say yes please just take Hiten with you and I'll be fine, but instead I shook my head. He looked at Hiten with an impassive look, then turned on his heel and left. I noticed Hiten's gawking at me, not-so-subtly and on the other hand Monica was busy reading comments on her video on Youtube.

I'm done with everyone for today. I wanna go home and have a good sleep.

"Monica" I called her, but she didn't listen because apparently she's busy on her phone.

"MONICA" I screamed this time and Monica practically jumped and her phone slipped out of her hands.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Monica said, putting both of her hands on her chest. Dramatic much.

"I want to go home so you need to drop me off outside the college."

"I can carry her out." Hiten said, getting up from the chair in a hurry.

"No way! I can walk and I have Monica with me."

"Jen, accept that you can't walk properly right now. And I can't carry you around, I'm no hulk." Monica said, showing her arms like a little child, "We need someone like Hiten for this job."

"No, I can walk with just a little help and that's all." I tried to argue. Why would she suggest Hiten of all the people?

“You shouldn't put weight on your foot for now. It's only gonna hurt more.”

"Look," I tried to stand up with a little support of Monica's shoulder but failed miserably as my foot hurts like a snake has bitten me.

"No worries baby. I'll take you." Hiten said mischievously and before I could start to protest, my feet were off the ground in a swift motion as he carried me bridal style.

I started to push him with my hands, of course because if I use my legs, then it would be unfavourable to me.

Then the thought occurs, what if that made me come in a wheelchair in the upcoming days. No way! So I silenced my struggles and let him carry me.

"Oh shit." I heard Monica mutter, so I turned around a little to look at her, "What happened?"

"No, nothing, I just need to go somewhere. Bye, see you." She said and rushed towards the hallways. Something is definitely wrong, I'll just call her later to ask what happened.

I got into the cab with Hiten's help and not soon enough, I reached my apartment. I literally had to crawl up to my apartment. As soon as I entered I locked the door and plopped down on the nearest sofa and went to my peaceful dreamland.

The sound of my ringtone awakened me from my slumber. I rubbed my eyes before reaching for my phone which lays on the table. I picked up my phone to notice Walter's name.

As soon as I slid my thumb on the screen to accept the call, his rushed voice came, "Come home right now!! Dad is as angry as a volcano." And I know in that instant that I am in deep shit.

A/N: What do you think Jennifer should do in order to make Hiten stop calling her 'baby' *inserts eye roll emojis*?

Why do you think that Jennifer's father is furious?

Lastly, Have a good day <3
