C16 Distraction

We said nothing to each other ever again. He picked all that he thought we needed and made his way to the counter as I followed him behind.

On our way to the counter, I saw this dude looking my way. I thought of something and I decided to shoot my shot. Instead of continuing with Zain, I walked to him and smiled.

"Hello handsome, I see you looking my way. My name is Jenny and I like you"

The guy chuckled and shook his head.

"You bold and I like it, I am Lucas," He said checking me out

"You have got a nice name, it suits you anyway. Nice to meet"

I complimented him with a wide smile on my face.

"I must say the same thing about you, you look pretty and bold and I must say you are my spec. What would you say if we became friends?"

He asked with a wide grin.

"I like the sound of that, we are friends then"

I replied, maintaining the smile on my face. I gave him my phone and he keyed in his digits and afterwards, handed the phone back to me.

"So tell me, are you just arriving because I did not see you before?"

"No, not at all, I came with my brother-in-law and funny enough, he did the shopping himself. I was just here to escort him"

He smiled and then picked a tin of milk.

"I am single so you've got nothing to worry about my girlfriend coming after you"

He said and winked at me.

That was the last thing I expected to hear from him but then I will say it's an added edge for me because I can do anything with him without bothering about his girlfriend coming after me and he can be the distraction I need to get away from Zain and his brother.

"I am single too so we are even"

I said laughing. I would say I like his personality. He is jovial and accommodating.

"I guess I'll get to hear from you. Bye, let me run along before my almighty brother-in-law start looking for me"

I said, turned and came face to face with Zain. He had this killer glare on his face which in any way did not move me. I don't see the reason he should be mad because I talked to someone, last time I checked he was my ex.

Zain's point of view……

I got to the counter and turned to ask Jenny if there is anything she thinks we need apart from the things in the basket but I did not see her. I thought she was following me behind.

While I shopped after we had a little quarrel, she kept quiet which I was not okay with. I needed her to keep talking. She being pissed at me makes me feel better. I don't want her to get over me. She seeing nothing wrong in what I said or not flaring up makes me think I am not in her heart and I want to constantly be in her heart even if it means I had to get on her skin to do that.

I dropped the basket and asked the attendant to take down my items. I left to search for her and when I saw her talking with this dude, I suddenly got angry and I can't deny that I am not aware of the reason I am angry.

"She belongs to me"

I muttered,

"You are married"

My mind screamed at me. I tried to calm down in order not to create a scene yet my anger was arising. She was being too comfortable with the guy and I hated it, the only thing I felt for the guy was to punch his face until he couldn't feel it anymore.

When I thought that I had lost my will to control my anger, she bade the guy goodbye and turned towards my direction. She walked to me and creased her brows.

"You don't seem well, are you okay?"

She asked ignorantly.

"What were you doing with that guy?"

I asked in annoyance. She shrugged her shoulders.

"Nothing, just talking with him"

"You are getting comfortable with a guy you just met? Does that not spell how cheap you are? Do you have shame at all, I saw the way you were giving him green lights and as a guy, I know the kind of thoughts he would be having in his head"

She laughed and shook her head.

"Get a life, Zain. If you don't like me, someone else does. You think every guy will be like you. I might not be your spec but I am to a lot of guys. You just did not have eyes that's why you did not know what you had before"

She said and looked me up over then walked out on me.

I clenched my fist and cursed under my breath.

"Jenny, you are trying my patience. You are no longer my girlfriend doesn't mean you have the right to flirt with a guy in my presence. I will not let you do such"

I mumbled in anger, glaring at the guy who was not aware of my presence because he was engrossed in what he was doing.

I sighed after some time and walked back to the counter. The attendant was through so she handed me my item after I paid and I left.

I got outside and saw her waiting patiently beside the car. All anger towards her dissolved the moment I saw her. I can't even stay angry at her even if I want to.

I got to her, handed her all that I bought and opened the car without saying anything to her. I got in and settled down, hoping she got the message I was trying to pass on to her.

I waited for her to come inside the car but she was not making an effort to, I got out, opened the door and pushed her inside gently and closed her door. I got on my side and drove off the mall with her mumbling something in the back seat.
