Owen brought his lips closer to mine and instead of backing away I stared at him to see what he wants to do.
His lips were inch closer to my lips when I heard someone clear his throat and I jumped up immediately, Zain was behind us glaring at me.
I got down from Owen's bed and rushed out of the room, I was embarrassed.
Zain's point of view….
I watched as Jenny ran out of the room and returned my attention to Owen. He was smirking.
"You badged into my room without knocking, Courtesy bro"
He said with that smudged look on his face. I felt like slapping the silliness out of him.
"Do you realize that's my wife's sister?"
I asked him. He chuckled and got down from his bed.
"I did not forget and she is a pretty lady. She seems lonely, I want to make her happy"
He stupidly said. That moment, I knew that he would never be serious with a lady in his life. I knew when Jenny mentioned helping out that something like this was going to happen. I know my brother. He is a seductor.
"Messing up with someone's feeling is not a nice thing to do"
I told him,
"Says the man who broke someone's heart a long time ago"
I sighed when that statement left his mouth. Owen never forgets. He will always refer to that incident that happened when we were growing up.
"Can you ever let the things in the past remain there, huh?"
I asked him.
"I would not remind you of this again if you stop referring to me as a Playboy. Don't preach what you don't do"
He stated. I turned and left his room, I will just find a way to keep Jenny away from him.
Jenny's point of view….
I slammed the door closed and went down on my butt with a beating heart. Words can't express how shameful I feel right now. Him badging in like that was uncalled for and on the other hand, I am glad he did if not, what would have happened between Owen and I?
When I felt better, I stood up and walked to my bed. At that moment a knock came at my door and walked back to open it. Zain stood there with his hand in his pocket. He watched me for a while then walked in without my invitation.
"You seem not to use your ear to hear at all. You feel because we had a past or because I have been pestering you to come back to me when I tell you something, you look down on me without caring that you are in my house. You are lucky that I came in at the moment. My brother is a seductor and I tell you, when you fall for him your name is sorry. You may feel because I want you back that's why I am doing all this thing's but hell no.
Inasmuch as I loved you and we are not together anymore, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. My brother and I are birds of the same feather. We use girls and dump them. I am not telling you this for you to hate him but I am telling you to be very careful. I am not going to disturb you again about what you do with your life. Just know that whatever that happens to you while you are in my house, I will answer to it. You can think of me as anything, you might think I am preventing you from having a boyfriend. You and I know that you are not innocent anymore.
The last thing you should know is this, be wary of boys that say Sweet words to you because they are deceivers, they only want to get into your pants and when they get you. They are gone with the wind and you won't do anything about it. My dear Jenny, your life is in your hands to do whatever you want with it but while you in my house limit your excesses, I beg you. Have a good day."
I was damned speechless at how fast he was able to see all that he said. I mopped at him and when he saw that I was not going to say anything to him, he turned and left.
I blinked twice then scratched my neck. He meant no harm. He was just looking out for me, this has nothing to do with jealousy and that thing he said about boys with sugar tongues, it was actually true. My mind went to Lucas and wondered if he is being sweet to get me or he is honest.
And speaking of the devil he called. I picked the call,
"Hello damsel, the lady that I couldn't stop thinking about, I called to see if we are still going out. I haven't heard from you again."
I stared at my fingers as I thought of what to tell him. My mind was just telling me to say that I won't make it but then the other part of me, the curious part, want to meet him and know what he wants. It will be unfair to tell him off if I don't know exactly what he wants. So I decided that it's better if I go out with him. He can't hurt me, can he? Here is a big city.
"I am sorry I didn't call earlier like I said. I think I will have spare time for you but that will be later in the afternoon. Right now, I have got something so important that I am doing. You don't mind if we make it out in the afternoon?"
His end was silent after I told him my mind.
"Okay! It's cool for me. Afternoon then. Take care of yourself and be good"
He said and hung up.
