Wearing a black turtle neck chanel dress which ended just above her knees, Jennie got ready for the day . Above it , she wore a black and white check overcoat. She picked up her phone to check the time , it was 9:45 am and she was going to the orphanages with James today. Locking the straps of her black platform heels, she bid Cadie goodbye and ringed James as there was no news from his side today. Soon, her call was picked up .
"Hey ! Where are you ? I am ready.." asked Jennie in her sweet but a little raspy voice as she woke up only half an hour ago."
James gulped as he listened to her raspy voice , it was too good. He cleared his throat and replied, "I am in the parking lot of the hospital , just a minute , I am coming to take you". Jennie's brain only focused on the last part 'I am coming to take you' , although it seemed so simple but to her this sentence caused butterflies in her stomach. It sounded so dreamy and for the first time in her life someone ever came to take her.
She was still holding the phone close to her ear although the call had ended. When James arrived , he saw a dazed Jennie still holding the phone up. He took a minute to ogle the beauty in front of him. She was looking so elegant yet seductive . He snapped his fingers in front of her to wake her up from her eyes wide open sleep. She looked surprised as she did not notice him coming. He was wearing a dark green turtle neck with black pant and exactly same overcoat like hers . They looked like couples who were twinning .
"Umm, hey .. sorry for that . I sometimes just daydream. Oh ,look its already time. We should leave ." James nodded and they entered the elevator. It was them alone in the whole elevator. She stood next to him as she did not like narrow spaces because she had claustrophobia. She always preferred to be close to the other person in lift to make sure she could reach them out when needed. They reached the parking lot soon and exited the lift . She exhaled in relief , although she wanted to take stairs , the floors were so high that she would die out of exhaustion before reaching them. James took notice of her anxiety when they were in elevator ,thinking that it might be claustrophobia , he tried to ask her , " Do you have claustrophobia ? If you don't , then don't mind I was just asking as you seemed a little out of breath in the lift."
Jennie sighed as she knew he might ask it as he was observant of his surroundings. "Yeah, I am .. and I don't mind if you ask me these kind of questions because I feel we are friends and friends have the right to know about each other , don't they?"
She turned to look at him with a smile and now it was his turn to dazed. She looked so beautiful with that smile on her face , if an artist were there ,they would make sure to capture this moment in a portrait. It was at this moment, James promised himself that he would do everything to protect that smile of her. He realised he needed to answer her and he said , " Yes , they do . Thank you for considering me as a friend , now if we are friends , then we should give each other nicknames , should I give you one?"
Jennie nodded as she also was curious know what nickname would he give her. He smiled as he said , " What about foxie ?". Jennie lightly him on his arm as she feigned anger and pouted her pink lips to which he chuckled as he got the needed reaction from her. Although, it seemed like he dug his own grave as he desperately wanted to bite those luscious lips she was pouting.
"So , foxie it is ! What about me ?" asked James as he tried to distract himself from those lips. They had already reached his car by now. He opened the passenger seat door for her to which she arched her brows in question. James understood her question as he answered her , " My driver got sick today , so I am going to drive today." Which was of course a lie because his driver was all fit and fine but because he wanted his alone time with her . Jennie did not buy it though because considering his power , he could arrange ten such drivers but did not question it as she was also happy because they would get some privacy. She entered the car and James sat in the driver's seat.
When they were all settled in , Jennie replied , "Cutie" . James looked at her with questioning gaze. Jennie smirked and said, " Ahh , nickname for you , Cutie ! Isn't that nice ?". James looked horrified because of her calling him Cutie because never in his life did someone call him that. Nonetheless, if she like it , then he will willingly comply. "Yeah, sounds nice , foxie" replied James as he teased her. They were driving to the the first orphanage. The items to be given were already delivered in a van as Jennie had ordered them. The car was very silent when suddenly James broke the silence as he asked , "Umm, If you don't mind , is there any specific reason for your claustrophobia?"
Jennie shuffled in her seat as she was not comfortable with this matter because it wasn't one of the brightest part of her life. She replied , "Well, you could say when ...I was in my training , some people locked me in a dark and narrow room which was more like a closet. It happened three times a week or whenever I rebelled for something which I did not like. I feel like it was my step mother's doing though. But nevermind, that phase is already over and...yeah that's it."
James did not know what to say as it was a very cruel thing to do to someone and he could not even imagine how much she suffered to develop this phobia. He spoke , "I am really sorry , I shouldn't have probed this matter" . Jennie smiled as she replied , "No, don't be sorry , I agree that it isn't one of the bright part of my life but I would like to have a friend who knows everything about me and same goes for you . You should also tell me something about you, Cutie!"
