Coming back to the present time, she asked him, " Ok , leave that , How are you for real ? I heard that the deal in America is taking quite a lot of time and they are being uncooperative also."
Nathan sighed as what she said was quite true. They wanted to expand their influence in America as they are about to jump in the technological world of business apart from gaming.
"Well, it is a little time taking as they want the deal to be on their terms and not on our terms which will result us in loss. So, it will take a little time to make them agree with us. But don't worry, I won't come back without signing this deal."
Jennie jokingly said, "Well, if they don't agree on business terms,then we have other ways also…"
Nathan laughed at her suggestion of 'other ways'.
"What about you, are you good?"
"Hmm, just a little tired because of all the chaos happening around. Other than that, I have to tell you something."
"What is it, you are making it suspicious .."
Jennie laughed as she imagined his squinting face he must have made right now.
"You know The James Davidsons, right."
"Yeah, who doesn't."
"Yeah, so I kinda became friends with him."
"What?! How though, I heard of his coldness towards business partners."
"Actually, I became his friend due to other reasons. I-I don't even know how we became friends but yeah we did."
"Are you sure, you are 'just friends' with him!"
Jennie laughed awkwardly at his question.
"Yeah, yeah 'we are just FRIENDS' Although, I might fall for him because he is so handsome like a greek god."
"You were never the girl who fell for someone's look. And still aren't, otherwise I would not have been your brother, you know!
Jennie chuckled at his narcissism.
"Your obsession with your looks, god! Well, it might have been that
your looks might not have sufficed to my standards, you know!"
"Hey! Enough, I am the most handsome man, OK!"
"Yeah, yeah and I am the moon goddess!"
"Ok, you win because I don't think you look like Selene at all. She
must be so filled with grace, elegance ,not like you who is all wild and
sarcastic, huh!"
"Whatever, I will talk to you later, bye !"
"Bye, cupcake !"
Jennie huffed as she heard the nickname, he called her.
"Not this again!"
Nathan laughed loudly and ended the call.
Jennie kept the phone on her bedside table and laid down on the
bed. She thought about what she got to know today. It was a little
shocking to know that Cadie also had the power. But she wondered
why her father did not tell Cadie about her powers since childhood. It
would have been better that way because she would have been
more good in controlling them . She also wanted to know about the other two families who had the power . But damn fate, she did not
get to know about them.
Also, she has to live with Cadie these days . And the frequent fits
they will have , Uggh . She also can't search for her mother's death
these days. Now, that she thinks about it , her mother never took her
to her maternal grandparents nor any aunts and uncles on her side.
It is a little suspicious to know that never in her life , she even saw
the picture of her grandma or grandpa. She should search her mother's lineage. From where did she come , it isn't like she was
dropped from the sky or something like that.
With this thought in here mind , she drifted to sleep.
It was 5 in the evening when she woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes which were adjusting to the lights . She
glanced at her side and almost shrieked when she saw James sitting
on the couch doing something on his laptop.
She did not expect anyone to be in the room . Also he was too quiet. James glanced towards her when he heard some movement.
He got up from the couch and came towards her .
Jennie was still recovering from the shock when suddenly he started
coming towards her . He was wearing a black satin shirt which was
slipping on his smooth skin with the sleeves rolled up showing his
veins on his muscular hand with some black pants.
She was drooling over him looking like a hot snack when suddenly he
asked her something making her realize that he has reached her.
Jennie blinked her eyes as she asked, "Huh ?"
James tried his best to control his laughter because of her zoning out
while watching him.
"Are you thirsty ?"
"Yeah , very thirsty… for you !" thought Jennie in her mind.
"Um- Noo , I am not , When did you come ?"
Jennie wanted to smack herself because of having all the dirty
thoughts in her head for him. Like she needed to stop , it wasn't like he was going to like her back.
Wait- what ? She accepted that she started to like him! This isn't
going right . She needed to stop. Otherwise , she was going to get
mad .
"I came when you were sleeping , 1 hour ago ."
"You could have woken me up , your time got wasted because of me."
James sighed as he said, "You looked so peaceful while sleeping , I did not have the courage to do so . Also , my time did not get wasted , Miss fox, I was working on laptop during that time."
"Oh, If that is the case , then its OK ."
They both became silent as they did not know what to talk about.
Jennie spoke first to break the silence .
"Umm, If you don't mind , can I ask you a favor ?"
"Yeah, anything."
"Well, Every year on my mom's birthday , I go to few orphanages to
donate things to the children there and also spend some time with
them . And , her birthday is tomorrow only , so I- Can you come with
me ?"
She was a little afraid to ask him because she knew this is a lot to ask because of his busy schedule.
