Love Can Be Confusing

Jenny's point of view….

   With my dinner in front of me, I stared at it lazily as I don't have the appetite to eat it. I was famished when I was preparing the meal but right now, my appetite has gone with the wind.

   I hissed and scoffed at the same time. I was suddenly lonely in the house. No Zain, Susan or even Owen, it's been over an hour he left and he had not returned or probably he went to hospital but there is no way he would be at the hospital and Zain would be there too, one person has to be at home because I know Zain or did something happened?

 I was probably worrying too much.

   "I am sure nothing is wrong?"

I assured myself and took a spoonful of the soup I made. I wasn't hungry that much so I retorted to making soup for dinner.

     The soup tasted sour in my mouth and spat the content in my mouth out.

   "Auch, this tastes terrible."

I muffined. I sighed for the uptenth in a while.

   There was no way I was going to force myself to eat and instead of sitting down at the dining table doing nothing I left my untouched soup and went to the living room, clutching my phone. 

    I had expected to hear from Lucas since but as the busy guy he is, he didn't call. But come to think of it, why would I bother about him calling me when I just got back with Zain.

  The thought vanished as it came.

I checked the time on my phone and it was 7Pm and being home alone, I stood to lock up. Whenever Owen gets back, I will open the door for him.

   I switched off the living room and dining lights with my soup plate on the dining table.

  I did not bother about it, tomorrow morning I will see to it.

   I got to my room, stripped off my clothes and went to the bathroom to shower.

  My day went unplannedly well.

     I didn't have to stay under the shower for the whole night so literally I got done within 15 minutes.

    My heart was shallow and I realized it because i was missing someone greatly and that person is no other than Zain.

   Coming out from the bathroom, I found my phone ringing. I had no idea who would be calling me.

   There are a list of people who it could be but guessing is not what I will do so I will see for myself.

   I hurried to the phone where it is lying in the bed. I don't know how long it has been ringing and I don't want whoever it is, if he or she has been calling for long to think I am not alright because the call was not picked on time.

  Mom could be among the list who would get worried.

   Lucas has to be the one calling and I must say I was disappointed. Truth to be told, I had wished it to be Zain.

  It's odd that he did not even reach out to me even to say how my sis is doing and if he got to the hospital safely. If he can't call, he could at least text.

   The unhealthy feeling rising at the pit of my stomach had to make it worse. My heart was kind of pricking me.

  "Why would you expect him to think about you when he is with his wife. Don't be delusional Jenny, Someone who chose another over you is not worth dying for"

  My stupid mind could not stop tenting me.

With shaky hands and a ruined mood, I picked up the call.

   His voice came cheerfully at his end,

"Hello damsel! How are you?"

"Good evening, Lucas. Your day?"

He sighed, 

"You did not respond to my question and you are asking yours. Do you expect me to answer yours?" He paused,

"Of course, I will. My day was okay, except that I missed you greatly and I can't wait to see you soon."

   I chewed on my lips as I had nothing to say to him. If he knows my current relationship status, would he call me a betrayal? 

  "You are not talking?"

He asked suddenly after expecting me to say something which I never did or I had nothing to say. Love can be confusing.

"I..I..em.. mi."

"You missed me too?"

He cut the words out of my mouth,

"That's great. I am seeing you tomorrow then,you can't even say no because I have got plans for two of us tomorrow"
