C59 To Get Jenny Jealous

Zain's point of view….

Throughout our drive home, my hands were shaking. The drama Jenny displayed at the hospital, I don't know what to say. She scared the hell out of me. I had imagined what would have become of my state right now if the issue was serious.

At intervals, I would look back to check on her.

She laid her head back on the seat but I can't say if she is sleeping.

I now understand why she did not want to go inside the hospital with us. I have never seen anyone react the way she did.

I know I care about her so much but I wasn't aware it was to this extent.

I sighed for the sixth time in a short while.

"Jenny!"

I called her.

"Hmmm"

She murmured in reply.

"Do you want me to get anything for you?"

I asked with the hope she would say yes. I really want to pamper her and tell her how much I care about her.

My pregnant wife is in the hospital ready to undergo SC and here I am taking her sister home. Please someone should ask me what my priority is.

"No, I am fine. Not at all. Thank you"

Are you sure about it, I don't mind okay?"

"I am sure I need nothing. Thanks for bothering."

She responded and sighed. Her eyes were still shut.

I nodded and continued driving.

We got home after a while and I rushed to her to help her out of the car but before I could make it, she was heading to the door clutching her stomach. I could see she was still in pain.

I resigned and followed her behind.

We stepped inside and she headed to her room while I headed to Owen's room.

Getting to his door, I heard him conversing and when I listened closer, I realized he was talking to someone on the phone. He is really lucky that he did not bring anyone here in my absence.

I pushed the door open and went inside. He dropped the call the moment he saw me. I could see how tense he was and could not stop asking myself who he was talking to. That's he has to be this tense. It's funny the way my thoughts run something.

He is probably on the phone with one of his numerous girlfriends.

"Bro, any problem?"

"Yes, but I can't say it is a problem. I need someone to replace Jenny at the hospital. Susan is in the theater right now."

I said and watched him. He thought for a while and agreed without asking me why Jenny can't be in the hospital instead of him. I did not expect him to agree so easily.

"I will get the baby's things and give them to you. You take it there. I want to run two or more errands before coming back to the Hospital. You can stand in for me right?"

"Anything for you, let me get ready while you get the baby's things."

I acknowledged him, spun around, and left his room to get the baby's bag.

Writer's Point of view….

The moment Zain left Owen's room. He smiled so broadly. This is an avenue to spend time with Susan. He does not care about where or how, what matters is that he would spend time with her. The love of his heart.

Zain might think Owen is doing him a favor but that's not the case because Owen is the one doing himself a favor.

He quickly put on something good and walked out of his room with his car keys.

Zain met him halfway and handed the bag to him and both gave each other a brotherly hug.

Zain walked Owen to his car and watched him drive out of the premises then went back inside.

*******

Trucy and his sister Tasha got to one of his friends' place, KC and Trucy parked at the lot. Tasha jumped down immediately.

The rest of the gang will be meeting them up at KC's place and will go cruising from there.

"It's like this friend of yours lives here all by himself?"

Tasha asked after looking around the place. She is sensitive to her environment. The place is calm and quiet and the building is a small brown-painted bungalow with hibiscus flowers planted all around and the window is a detachable glass window

"Yeah he does, his parents are abroad."

Trucy replied with his eyes glued to his phone. He was trying to get to the rest of them on the phone because it was like they are yet to come, and no car is parked around.

He got through to one of them, Bruce who told him that they are their way.

He cut the call and looked at his sister.

"Let's go"

Tasha, shrugging her shoulders, followed him behind.

Tasha's point of view….

We got to one of Trucy's friends' place and from the looks of things he lives alone. Trucy confirmed it.

I got inside the house after knocking and was invited in by KC's voice.

Trucy asked me to sit down and I sat. This is my first time going out with Trucy to meet his friends, though I know literally all his friends because he always brings them home.

He left me alone in the small living room and I guessed he went in search of his friend.

The place might be small but it looks nice and considering that it is a guy who runs the place, it even looks better. The decor and his home theater and the couch were in place. He is doing a good job keeping this place.

I am not sure if Trucy can manage a place on his own, his room is always a mess. It either mom arranges it or I do. That's how bad it is. He should move out of our house and lives like boys of his age.

My mind went back to why I was there, to get Jenny jealous.
