Chapter 12

Jane got home with no one in sight ' Mrs Whitney haven't returned ' she thought to herself "Christopher mummy is back" she called out still no response she called again like two times still no response, she thought to check with Juliet if Chris was with them, she had tried calling Mrs Whitney twice to confirm if she had dropped him there or if he was with her, but she wasn't picking up, she really wasn't the type to likes going to other people's house even Zain had invited her over severally but had refused also but now she has no choice but to go over she really needs to know where her son is she had really missed him a lot.

Jane walked over to Juliet's house and knocked after waiting for something that seems like two minutes Juliet opened the door with her baby in her hands, she just put to bed few months ago and she was on leave so its understandable why she's always home "hey Jane good morning come in it's a suprise to see you here this morning, I hardly see you around if not for Chris I wouldn't know you still live here " Juliet said looking surprised "good morning Juliet oh it's just work I just came ask if Chris was here" Jane replied "well at least come inside and take a seat" Juliet interjected, "okay " Jane said and moved inside reluctantly "have a seat" Juliet said pointing to the couch "thanks" Jane said and sat down "so is Chris here?" she asked again, she was already getting impatient "yes he's inside Zain's room with John Mrs Whitney dropped him here this morning they've been busy playing video games for hours now" Juliet said "can you please get him for me?" Jane said "oh sure just a second" just as Juliet was about to move towards Zain's room the baby in her arms started to cry "she seems to be hungry or maybe she has wet her diaper" Juliet said pretending to be sad "I guess you will have to get Chris yourself I need to take of her" Juliet said again " by myself? " Jane said sounding shocked "of course he's room is the second one by the left see you later Jane bye " "bye"Jane managed to say, ' well not all boys bite ' she thought to herself, she stood up from the couch and headed towards the direction Juliet gave her,it wasn't so hard to find after all she knocked and waited but no one answered the door the knocked two more times still no answer, ' it must be the sound from the video games there were playing ' Jane thought to herself, she quietly twisted the door knob and sneaked in quietly not she like has a choice after all, she had never been to a man's room before well except for Dante who had turned his office into a bedroom she had caught him on several occasions making out with girls and doing disgusting things, she felt instantly irritated just by the thought of it she wonders why they never lock the door, nobody in the room noticed her presence for while until Christopher shouted "mummy you are here" john and Zain turned around "good morning Miss Jane" John said "good morning John" Jane replied, Zain stopped the video game and walked towards Jane "hi Jane" he said "good morning Zain" Jane replied "what a pleasant surprise to see you here this morning this is very unusual you hardly even come into our house talk more of my room I guess the universe is really starting to align in my favour" Zain said sarcastically " I only just came to get Chris that's all" Jane defended "it's really is okay you can come here anytime you want am invited you over severally remember" Zain said with a hint of sadness evident in his voice, he had really tried to get closer to her ever since he moved in with Juliet, he had really taken a liking for her ever since the first time her saw her he had been able to gather some information about her she works as a waitress and she is a single mother he had never seen Chris's father around and he knows best not to ask her ever again because the day he had tried to talk about it she got really angry and had avoided him since then, he knew her age was same as his because he was here when she celebrated her 20th birthday apart from that he know nothing more, and everything time he tries to get to her she always draws back he doesn't know why but he feels there was much more behind it, that's why he hadn't push her too much he felt she would finally come around and it seems she was already doing just that, Zain thought to himself "oh am so sorry about that" Jane said after thinking of what to say for a while not knowing that Zain also had thoughts going on in his head

Jane's voice brought Zain back to reality "oh no it's okay" Zain finally said "so we will get going now" Jane said "of course oh and that reminds me what happened at work yesterday we were really worried about you, you didn't even come home" Zain said looking all worried, and that made Jane's heart all flustered was he really worrying about her she thought in her head nobody had really worried about her except Mrs Whitney and of course cassey "it's really is nothing just some jerk at work trying to molest me but my friend Gloria was there in time to rescue me" she was not the type to trust people easily after what happened she had become really reserved but have felt Zain was a good guy and she didn't even know when she talked, what is wrong with me she thought to herself.
