Chereads / Burning June +18 / Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

June watched the butler get their bags, she  waited patiently for Jenna to finish her call ready to go to her room and lie down.

"Alright. Thank you, I really appreciate it, thank you"

"Are you done ?" June asked with a breath of impatience.

Jenna released a sigh, " June why do you always want everything so fast. This was an important call from an associate"

"Let's go, please, I can't stand on my legs any longer "

Jenna and June walked into the grand hotel where they were going to stay for a couple of days for an important meeting.

June went to the receptionist to check for the reservations leaving Jenna alone. It took a few minutes but when June was back she could feel the nervousness that crept into Jenna's face.

"Jenna. Jenna. Jenna !" June softly called her friend's name.

"Hmm, Yes ? Let's go, fast" she grabbed June's hand and walked towards the elevator.

"What is it ?"

"No-nothing, I just got bad news from home"

"What is it about ?"

Jenna shut her eyes, "nothing too serious, let's get in please"

Once they were in the suite June threw her herself on the sofa. 

"I'm tired as hell" she mumbled as Jenna removed her light cardigan.

Jenna played with her fingers "See, I think that we should stay here, in the hotel, you know" she stopped mid sentence, "we'll have to attend  this meeting and go on with our lives quick. It's time for work, no exploration no nothing"

"I know I didn't come here to roam Seattle, we'll get through this meeting and bam ! Oh god have you heard about my aunt's new-"

Jenna shook her head "I'm going to sleep June I really am tired today, maybe you should get some sleep too ?"

Jenna tried her best to look calm and not allow June to sense her building worry. Things have been going good for a while now and she didn't want to risk it.

"Alright, you really do seem tired so go and take some rest I'll prepare something light and go to sleep"

Jenna nodded making her way to her room. "Take care"

Sebastian laughed heartily with his friends, a glass of neat whiskey in his hand. It's been long since he laughed but he was sure that life only gets better after tough storms.

He was in a hotel lounge with a couple of his friends who he used to hang out with since the days of college fraternity.

Some were married. Some were not. Some had kids. Some achieved great things and some were on the road to. Everyone was up to something.

His eyes examined the beautiful stain glass that covered the hotel's walls and art pieces but his eyes stopped at a familiar silhouette.

Sebastian's smile was now gone. He leaned back into the comfortable sofa. He didn't want to seem eager.

His mouth went dry. There she was. Someone seemed to be with her, she must've felt his eyes because the next moment their eyes met each other.

Her eyes widened, quickly she gave him her back and went over to June.

She seemed healthier than the last time he saw her. But her mean spirit was probably still the same. A user and never good intentioned.

He watched them disappear but his eyes still remained fixated where they were a few seconds ago.

"Sebastian ?"

He turned his attention back to his friends, "um, yes, like I was saying"

June turned the page of the book in her hand. She had changed into her nightwear and was a couple of hours away from going to sleep. Jenna was in a coma. 

She wanted to know what message the author wanted to convey in a few pages but she was stuck with two hundred forty three pages instead. But if it was worth it then let it be. 

She was impatient but she had to alter that for a few hours until she was done with it. She returned her focus back to the book but the doorbell took it away. She battled between opening the door and letting whoever knocking get tired and leave.  

"Uhh" she placed the book on coffee table and went to open the door only to wish she never did.

There he was.

June placed her head against the door, her eyes saying everything she couldn't. Drinking him in. It's been a while.
