C32 The Blue Room

And "I don't know" that sh**t" got me annoyed. I know my kid brother and I also know that he likes women a lot. I am sure he just wants to lure her into his web. He can do that with any woman but not Jenny.

"Jenny, we are going out. We need to do some shopping for the baby"

I simply said and walked out on her. I did not give her a chance to disagree because she was definitely going to do so if I had given the chance.

Jenny's point of view….

I stared at him lost as he walked away. I was confused if I am the one who is supposed to shop for the baby things or my sister or if it is his way of trying to make me not help Owen out. What is he afraid of? For heaven's sake, I am an adult and also not his girlfriend. He can't be this protective.

I got hold of myself and walked to the dining, he was devouring his breakfast already.

"Sorry, Zain, to disappoint you. I can't go shopping with you, do it with Susan, she is the one pregnant, not me"

"Why that?"

He asked.

"I have an appointment today, I am going on a date with someone so I can't shop with you"

I gave him my reason. You needed to see the expression on his face, it was priceless.

"You just arrived and you're already going on a date with some guy?"

He stated more like a question. I did not mention the gender to him and he already concluded that it was a guy.

"Zain, come off it. I am not doing much. A friend asked me out on a date and I accepted. You don't expect me to call him and tell him that I have got other things to do when there is none?"

He had stopped eating and was staring at me.

"But I just told you we have got something to do so literally, you have to cancel"

He said authoritatively. I chuckled within myself. This dude is damned funny

"I know what you are doing but it will not work for you. Take your wife shopping, I have got something to do with my time"

I shook my head as I left the dining room, leaving him standing on a spot, stunned.

I got to Owen's room and knocked, I got no response so I knocked again yet no response. I cracked the door open and walked in a moment later. I stared in awe at the state of his room. It was like another planet.

It was a boyish kind of room with blue wallpaper all over. I can't make out the color of the paint because of the wallpaper. The light bulb was blue and the bed was covered with a blue bedspread. The closet is also blue and I am standing in the room, blended with the blue color. A blue room indeed. I have not come across anyone with an obsession with the blue color.

You can't tell the color of anything until you take it outside the room.

I saw a photo frame of his on the wall. He was naked and had only a brief on and I was forced to think, he can do well as a model. He just got the body.

"I see you are drooling over my room instead of me"

I heard his voice behind me and I turned. He just came in and I did not realize that. Where did he go? He was shirtless and I found out it's what they like to do.

He has a similar body structure to Zain but has no hair on his chest.

"Not really, I was just admiring the room. You have got a thing for blue. I swear, I would not know that a place like this exists. It's fascinating, I love what I see"

He watched me for some time and walked past me.

"You are here early, I was not expecting you now"

He simply said. I felt like I was intruding.

"I am sorry, I will just go and come back later"

I said and turned on my heels

He was right beside me before I could open the door. I was startled by the sudden appearance.

"You don't have to go. You're here already so don't leave"

He whispered. I was not comfortable with the sudden closeness so I stepped back a little. He noticed my discomfort and he took a few steps backwards.

"Okayyyyy"

I said, drawing the letter Y

"So what are we waiting for, let's get down to business"

He said and offered his hand to me, I looked at the outstretched hand and then looked back at his face. He was amusingly staring at me. I know I was behaving awkwardly but I couldn't help it.

I finally took his hand and I met a hard chest. I found myself embracing him. I was startled and the look in his eyes felt familiar.

"You never changed."

I heard him say,

I tried getting myself off him but he embraced me so tight.

"Are you running away? A lioness doesn't get frightened, she stands her ground."

He was speaking the language only he understood.

"Can you release me now, pretty please?"

I begged meekly and he let me go gently.

"So I wrote this script I want to submit to Bollywood and I want you to go through it. I heard you did art"

He said switching back to Owen I think I know.

"How do you know I did art in school?"

I asked with my eyes fixed on him. He seemed to know a lot about me which is unsettling. That statement he made I never changed seems like he knew me some time back.

"Have you forgotten? I said I do know your past with my brother. He couldn't stop talking about you and when his conversations were centered on you, I had to make enquiries about you and what I found I must tell you, I am impressed but the thing is you fell in love with the wrong man who didn't know the diamond he missed."

He said and walked to his bed. I saw him flip on something and it was a laptop I did not realize was there all along.
