Distances Makes The Heart Fonde

     Tasha laid face up on her big bed.

She has waited for Jenny to text her back but it looks like she has to wait for eternity.

   She has replaced her phone earlier.

Tasha just has to understand that Jenny might not text and go to bed.

    She can't force Jenny to love her but she can make her love her. She just has to trust the process and put more effort and not being mean, being kind enough and expressing her feelings Jenny might actually soften Jenny's heart and accept her.

  Tasha is not the one to give up on what she wants. She is a goal getter.

   She sighed and turned on the bed.

Her door slightly opened and her elder brother, Trucy walked into the room with a full smile on his face but when he saw how sad Tasha is looking, the smile on his face slipped off.

   "Hey kid sister, what's with the face?"

He asked and sat on her bed. Tasha looked at him for some time and looked away.

  "Nothing, just battling my demons. What are you doing here?"

  "Mom actually wanted to see you, she said you have been behaving weird since morning so she just wants to have a word or two with you. Are you coming?"

  "Sure I am coming."

"Okay,I will tell her. By the way, where is your friend Jenny?I have not seen her for two days now, which is unlike her. She doesn't stay away from here for that long?"

   Trucy asked, he has been meaning to ask Tasha but he has not gotten the chance. He kind of likes Jenny and has been nursing this feeling for a while.

   "She is in Reben Castle but that will be for a while. She will soon be back"

   She responded and closed her eyes.

"Okay, I will just call her."

He stood up and made to leave,

"Tasha,you know you can tell me anything. You have an issue, you spill it or I will tell mom and you know what that means?"

  "Yeah, I know. I just got feeling for someone and she doesn't want to hear it"

   Trucy sat back on the bed. He is not surprised to know that it is a girl that is keeping his sister restless. He knows that she do girls and he has tried everything possible to talk her out of it but Tasha is a stubborn lady.

    "Who is the girl?"

He managed to ask.

   "It's Jenny"

Trucy nearly slapped her but refrained himself. If he is asked why he slapped his sister, what will be his reply?.

   "I see. What is she saying about it?"

He asked coolly.

"You know Jenny very well. We have been friends since we were kids and I have had these feelings for her. I was so afraid of telling her because of our friendship so I never tried but now she is away, my feelings for her intensified.

    I gathered courage and told her yesterday and since then she has been acting weird. She hardly picks my calls, if she manages to pick, she would say one thing or the other that will hurt me. I am not going to give up, I love her and that's what matters"

   Trucy stared at his sister longer than necessary. It's obvious she needs counseling.

   "Ok! If you want my advice, I will tell you to stop bothering her, give her some space and respect her decisions. You know her very well that she doesn't like girls so whatever feelings you have for her, I will advise you to kill it or better still, let her be. If she feels the same way for you, she will open up but if she doesn't, there's nothing you will do that will make her to date you, you know that"

  Tasha knows that her brother he is absolutely right but she can't accept it.

"Thank you so much bro I will do as you said"

   Trucy smiled and ruffled her hair,

"You know my friend right? The one that has blonde hair, that looks like a girl"

"Of course I know him. who wouldn't know him, you mean Terren?"

Tasha replied laughing,

   "Yeah Terren, he has been asking me to give your number to him and I think I am going to do that. I am not saying you both should go into a relationship but maybe hanging out with each other will take your mind off Jenny for a while and when Jenny sees that you are not there, you are not bugging her like that, she might consider you, you know?"

    "That's a brilliant idea. Distance makes the heart fonder"

Tasha said agreeing with her brother. He was right when Jenny did not get to see her call like she does, she night considered it. Once in a while she would tell Jenny about Terren and her. Terren might be the distraction she needs.

   Tasha thought her brother is doing her a favor but the truth is, he is trying to make her forget about Jenny. It's high time she gets out of this delusional world she lives in and faces reality.

    "That's right sis, I will leave you know. Make sure to answer mom before you go to bed"

He said, kissed her forehead and left.

     Tasha could not contain her joy after her brother left. She was happy. It's never crossed her mind to make Jenny jealous and now that the option is here, she's going to grab it.

    Tasha knows at the end of the day, Jenny will run into the arms. Tasha has never thought about the possibility of Jenny not dating her at all. She felt if all the boys broke her heart, Jenny would see a reason to date her or not that Jenny will love another guy when she is obsessed with her sister's husband.

   Zain was never going to leave Susan for Jenny or so she thought and that has made her want to wait patiently for Jenny.
