Jennifer
"Jennie, I am in the back alley."
"I just took the turn to be there."
*beep*
{Shhhhh! It's here you are late to run back now. So keep your mouth shut.}
[Huh.....this voice...why do I feel...that I longed-for this voice.....wait why did my eyes fill with tears. WAIT, NOOOO!!....where is the source of voice...are we getting.....targeted by some guy's in the back alley.]
I stopped my car in front of ann. Waving, telling her to hurry. The last thing I wanted was to let her get hurt for some money.
{That's a car. Yeah it's powerful to kill a person when it hits them. Well, too bad for you, maybe Miss Emma got a boyfriend}
[What is he saying killing, Ohhh.....so, a guy from the campus got a nerve to fall for their teacher and follow her here..... should I let them know that ann's still single.]
"So, how was today's shoot of yours"
"What do you think, ann?"
"By your mood, it must have been a blast."
[So wrong, I was so distracted by all the sounds in my head, even now. We took a lot of takes. So, why am I so...happy again. Why was I....teary a moment before.]
When I opened the glass to let them know Ann didn't come here to meet her boyfriend, the voice I wanted to hear again, it spoke.
{I don't care about that, I want to know
what's inside that car.}
[Wait, did he come here to see me? How did they figure out my relationship with ann. Maybe.....I shouldn't open the windows of my car]
But it was too late to close the window now.
"Jennie, I got your study material. I know you are busy but you have to study too."
{Maybe her boyfriend, who you don't care about and came running to stalk on Miss Emma .....huh...Oh My God. Thank you for letting me live to this day. I had never thought I could see 'JENNIFER' in the flesh in front of my eyes like this. I am so happy I could die now. Man, I am going crazy. Hey steph...steph}
[ *sign* So they didn't know...but that's the usual reaction I get everywhere. So....his name is 'steph'.]
*Smile*
"I study at weekends, you know that too ann."
"Okay, so where are we going for our lunch."
"Put on the seatbelt first."
{Eah ...ummm...what. Noe!}
[This voice again.....why do I...I want to hear steph's voice all day. But I have to say, 'Noe' that's a cute name for my fans.]
{Even your heart skipped a beat for Jennifer, right?}
[Do you need to ask that, one. Duh! I really want to talk to him and say 'noe' again and again. Such a cute name. Awwww]
{No....ummmm..I mean.....she is pretty}
*blush*
[........]
Emma Brown's
I stood there while Jennie came and stopped the car in front of me. She waved her hand, telling me to get in quick.
[Her eyes are a little....wet. Was she......crying. Something happened. Should I.....ask?]
I did as she guided but I didn't know why she was in such a hurry.
[Huh..... did she just.....smirked. Maybe....I was wrong. I should ask something to her.]
"So, how was today's shoot of yours?"
[Huh...did she just.....open the windows of the car. She never did that.]
With her one eyebrow raised she asked me.
"What do you think, ann?"
[What's wrong with today. She's actually........showing so much emotion on her face today, without being in front of the camera. I am so happy...after her parent's death.....she never acted like this, showing emotions. She ...tried so hard....to be an adult. I wish I could.....see this jennie everyday.]
"By your mood, it must have been a blast."
[I guess my girl is finally...why is she looking....pale all of a sudden. Should I distract her from her thoughts.]
"Jennie, I got your study material. I know you are busy but you have to study too."
I didn't know what she was thinking but I wanted to distract her. But she was just staring at the steering wheel.
[Come on! Say somthi.....huh did she just smile...without a reason. Like she used to...back in the days.]
"I study at weekends, you know that too ann."
[God, what's with that...one she's pale on another she's cheerful. The girl I knew was a little..........cool & cold. I want her to be like this everyday. I want to......talk to her more.]
"Okay, so where are we going for our lunch."
"Put on the seatbelt first."
[Huh....was I daydreaming. Why....why did I woke up from that. It's not like...I don't like...the cool & cold jennie....it's...I just....just miss my bright little jennie.....]
While I put on the seat belt, she suddenly started driving the car.
[Hmmmmmmmmm........ why is she...... drive while ...blushing.... WAIT, is she....in love with someone. Yes.....that's make sense now.....all that expression, sudden change of character.......let's talk about it when we are in restaurant. She finally got over her parent's.........God, please bring happiness in my child's life. I just hope..... that guy be a good match for her.]
We both were quite the whole drive. She parked the car, took me to the table she booked in the newly opened. Everything was fine, it just felt that she was still thinking something else this whole time.
I finally decided to break the ice.
"So what are we gonna ord.....jennie....jennie....hey are you listening to me?"
"Hmmmmmmm"
"What.....are you....thinking?"
"He said...."
[He, who? Why is she pink....ohhhh, maybe the guy she fell for.]
"Jennie, what did he say to you?"
"He said that...I am.....ummmm...pretty."
"Huh...."
[Where did this maiden in love come from? So cute. Awwwwwww!!! Well, I better wake her from her dreams.]
I pinched her arm with my long nail which hurt. For sure.
"AAaoouuuuuchh.....aaaha....shhhh.....that's hurt's...why did you do that, Ann?"
"I just helped you, getting out of your dreams. So, who is this guy who said you are pretty....huh"
"Step...NO ONE DID, what are you saying. It hurts....aaaaaaaa..."
*smug*
"So what was that just now?"
"It's nothing....ummmmm...you are just imagining things because you are still single...you better find someone soon or you will be single your whole life. I am going to washroom."
"Hey jennie, we are not done talking"
*pffff*
I sat there laughing at my niece who is experiencing her first love.
[Love...huh.....maybe.....It's not the correct time for me....there might be someone.]
"She has already found someone......*smile*I should find one for me too. But......where can I find .......good looking.....ummm..caring, cute.......and nice guy."
*Sign*
Jennifer
"So what are we gonna ord.....jennie....jennie....hey are you listening to me?"
[Am I? yes, I am listening.]
"Hmmmmmmm"
"What.....are you....thinking?"
[What am I thinking? I am thinking about.......what he said.]
*Blush*
"He said...."
"Jennie, what did he say to you?"
[Ummmmm....he said I.....]
"He said that...I am.....ummmm...pretty."
"Huh...."
[Aaaa something ...hurts. What is...Aaaaaaa]
"AAaoouuuuuchh.....aaaha....shhhh.....that's hurt's...why did you do that, Ann?"
"I just helped you, getting out of your dreams. So, who is this guy who said you are pretty....huh"
[Pretty, what's the matter, steph did.]
"Step....NO ONE DID, what are you saying. It hurts....aaaaaaaa..."
[Shittt!!! What the hell? Was I saying out loud WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING. AAAAAAAAAAAA.]
"So what was that just now?"
[Ann is not gonna let this slide. I can tell that without even noticing her evil smug. I have to change topics too. AAaaaaaa ....I want to dig a hole and get in it.....]
*sign*
"It's nothing....ummmmm...you are just imagining things because you are still single...you better find someone soon or you will be single your whole life. I am going to washroom."
"Hey Jennie, we are not done talking."
[But, I AM.]
I went to the washroom to find myself some time to figure things out.
"What's wrong with me? I get compliments.......better than that every single day ,evrywhere.........work or social media. Even his friend......... had such a reaction, why did I..............my mind went blank, from .................just 'pretty'."
*sigh*
[Pretty....huh.]
*smile*
"Stop smiling like an IDIOT!!.....*sigh* what's wrong with today.....first those noises then his............ WAIT! after he said I am pretty *smile* my mind went.......blank......then I didn't hear those.......around me. After Ann pinch did.......hearing things again......"
[Does.....that means.......if I........focus......something else or......think anything else.........I won't be hearing sounds.]
"Let's try it and find out."
[ I can hear.....the chef's........waiters........people's taking orders........car's horn.....Why the hell I can hear every damn thing. SHUT UP EVERYONE!]
*sigh*
"Ummmmmm......so......it became...quite....just like that... you gotta be kidding me."
[But shouldn't they be....how can I.......hear it.....]
"Whatever. My head's not hurting...from those noises.......nor is it important now...that it's all.........quite again."
[This is not......like me. Am I being......]
*sigh*
"Something's really wrong today."
I went back, took the seat across from Ann, hoping she wouldn't talk about him again. We started eating our food casually, I thought she would not now but, she did.
"Jeannie, so this guy who said you're......pretty, what........do you like about him."
"What are we talking about?"
"Okay, then....where did you........meet him?"
[She is not......having any mercy.]
"I haven't met....him, yet."
"So does that mean.....you guys....talked to each other?"
"Ann, I will tell you everything when you will find someone for yourself."
[Now this will make her quiet...and motivated to find someone.]
"That's not fair, jennie."
"We will exchange everything then. Now, find someone for yourself."
"Okay.....Jennie, do you really...love him?"
[Do I?.....NOO!! it's ......just]
"No ann, I am just......I don't know."
"People say 'I realized I was thinking about you, and I began to wonder how long you'd have been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: since I met you, you've never left' does that sound familiar to you."
[Isn't that what happened...to me.]
"Not really."
