C53 New Found Friends 2

June led us to this mini dining room with portrait pictures of each person on the wall.

The same wallpaper they use in the living room was used here and I was beginning to think maybe they used the wallpaper all over the house but I can't tell since I have not gotten around the house or the rooms.

"Please sit."

June said to me and sat followed by the two of them. She has set the breakfast. I guessed that's what she went to do when she left the living room.

"What are we having?"

Thomas asked as he relaxed in his seat.

"We are having pasta. It's been a long time since we had one in this house."

June responded and started opening the dishes.

She made pasta with stew. Truth be told, I don't feel hungry and I don't know the best way to tell them. I should have insisted on not coming. My phone vibrated inside my pocket and I fished it out.

Mom was calling me.

"I excused myself and left to pick up the call.

"Morning mom"

"Morning darling. I hope you slept well.

She asked.

"I did… you?"

"I slept well, just missing you"

I smiled hearing she missed me. Truly, distance makes the heart fonder.

"Aww mom, that's so sweet. I miss you too"

"I can tell you do. What about Susan?

"She is good."

I said quickly and she sighed.

"Sweet, I was calling to say good morning to you. Have a good day"

"Alright Mom"

I said and her end went dead. The way she ended the call was odd and sighing too. I hope she is okay, this is unlike her.

I turned and walked back to June and Thomas.

I got to the dining area and saw each person staring at their plate. I was wondering what went wrong while I was away.

"Did something happen?"

I asked as I settled down in my seat.

"Something went wrong?"

June asked with her eyebrows raised in a silly manner. I chuckled.

"You both are not eating?"

"Oh! that? We were waiting for you"

She responded and I stared at her Like "is she for real?" They waited for me?

"Why will you wait for me before eating?"

I questioned her. I really want to know why they will do that.

"Well here we eat together"

She replied and I looked at Thomas who was watching both of us.

"Okay even though I don't understand why"

I said dismissing the issue.

"Let's eat"

Thomas said at last and we all agreed. June dished hers out and passed the food holder to me, after scooping the amount I could finish, I passed it to Thomas who smiled and took it from me.

We started eating as soon as possible.

Zain's point of view….

Susan walked into the room to have her bath. We will be leaving for the hospital soon. I was done with my bath and already dressed up.

I picked up my phone and left the room. My thought was to sit awhile in the living room to wait for the ladies but on second thought, I decided to go and tell Jenny to get ready.

I got to her room and knocked but received no answer. It could only mean she is in the bathroom so I turned to leave but something told me to go tell her to hurry up.

I opened the door and walked in. Imagine me walking in like she is my wife or something, well that is exactly what I felt she is. I mean, I want her to be.

I heard no noise from the bathroom, which increased my curiosity to check the bathroom.

"What if she is naked in the bathroom?"

My subconscious mind questioned me and I pushed it at the back of my mind.

I opened the bathroom and saw no Jenny inside, only her fragrance.

I closed the bathroom and left the room. I went to the kitchen and I did not see her. I thought about where she would be and I remembered Owen's room. She can only be there. I was infuriated by the thought.

I got to Owen's room and I walked in without knocking at the door in case something was happening there. I may be able to see. I wondered what I wanted to see anyway.

The moment I opened the door, Owen looked up from his laptop and stared at me. He frowned deeply and closed the laptop.

I walked and looked around to see Jenny when it was obvious to me that she was not there.

"Can I help you with something, bro?"

Owen asked me and shook my head no. If Jenny is not in her room, not in the kitchen, and not the living room or Owen's room, where will she be?

"I was thinking of seeing that script of yours."

I said. I didn't just want to barge into his room and walk away like that. That's disrespectful.

"Bro, can we do it tomorrow? I'm seriously busy now if you don't mind"

He murmured and looked at me.

"Ok I'll leave you then"

I said, turned, and left. I wasn't there to see his manuscript anyway.

My mind went back to why I went to his room, Jenny.

I did not have her number to call her. Where could she have gone, she is new here, or has that boyfriend of hers come to pick her up? She really needs to cut down a little if she is actually with him.

To some extent, I think she would not have gone out because I know Jenny like the air I breathe in.

Since I couldn't really see where she was I decided to see if she was outside. It could be that she went out of the house to take a look at her new environment.

I walked out of the door and saw her coming out from the back of the house with a box and a sketch stand.

She got to me and walked past me without saying anything.

I felt stabbed by her actions. I took in some air, I just have to find a way to treat her fuck up for her. She is eating more than she can chew.
