Chapter 13 - Chapter 13:Him?

Arnold had woken up and was about getting up from the bed, Jenna felt something left the bed as she slowly opened her eyes to see Arnold seated on the bed.

Good morning. She sat up.

Arnold turned to look at her for a moment, then he turned back.

You're awake..

Just woke up. She smiled shyly.

Thanks for staying with me yet another night. She continued.

That's okay. He replied.

Jenna thought of a way to keep the conversation going. Mmm.. I didn't see her in my dream. Her beautiful eyes stared at his bear body, Arnold's shirt was off and his chest was visible.

Told you, you wouldn't . He grinned, not facing her

Arnold got up and walked away from the bed as if heading to the door, suddenly Jenna was before him.

Arnold took time to stare at her for a moment . She looked like a little girl disturbing her Dad for a brand new doll house.

What are you doing? He asked straightly seeing how playful she was trying to be.

I'm up to perform my morning duty. She averted her gaze, She was just so innocent, and gentle. She looked so fragile, soft and warm.

The doctor said you need rest, so, go get some rest. Arnold walked forward but then Jenna came in front of him again.

What was this girl doing? Was she trying to know whether I'm playful?. He thought as he grinned.

I..I'm perfectly okay. She replied as she looked into his cold eyes.

Sure? He asked while she nodded.

Okay then, I'll be in my room. Immediately he said that she gave way for him to pass.

She had her warm bath, slipped into a comfortable lace gown as she went to Arnold's room to bathe him. After which they both came downstairs for breakfast.

Arnold was already seated at the table with two men his age. She had actually gone to change her wet clothes.

Who were they? She asked herself as she carefully walked down the stairs.

The men were already seated, eating.

She slowly walked to them nervously. She pulled out her chair and sat, while the butler poured out food for her.

She wasn't comfortable, she had always had her breakfast with Arnold alone, now these men? They were Arnold's second. Arnold on threes. They all had cold and serious looks, but were all dashing.

Were they Arnold's brother? She said to herself as she ate slowly, while avoiding their gaze.

After some minutes of silence, Shane Reagan broke the silence.

And who is this lady Arnold? .. his eyes flew on her, oh god! She really was nervous that she couldn't look up at them.

You never told us you were now interested in women. Brett the cute one said.

Actually Brett, was Arnold's childhood friend, they were so close that they shared secrets with each other, Brett knew Arnold in and out.

He had a light brown hair, He was in his early 30s just like Arnold.

Arnold just glared at him as if he wanted him to change the topic.

Shane upon seeing that, turned to Jenna, who sat close to Arnold.

She's quite pretty.. Shane spoke,Arnold glared at him as though he wanted to pounce on him.

Shane gazed at Arnold, he saw that death glare he gave him.

Relax brother, I'm only complimenting her. He then turned and gave Jenna those seductive stares.

Arnold just clenched his fist, under the table.

Jenna was shocked, his brother?? Was this man Arnold's brother? He looked nothing like him at all, he looked more calm than Arnold.

Why does Arnold hates his brother so much? She asked herself.

What are you doing here? Arnold asked Shane looking at him with disgust.

(Chuckles) Can't I come see my Little Brother? He asked jokingly.

Arnold was so mad seeing him there, his face welled up with anger, but he tried to control himself because Jenna was present.

Arnold gaped at Jenna, who sat still without touching her meal, he knew she wasn't comfortable at that moment.

Jenna? Go up to your room. He ordered.

She hurriedly left to her room.

What was that Arnold? Shane grinned.

Arnold got up and was about to punch Shane in the face, before Brett stopped him.

Arnold calm down will you?, this isn't the time for that, you've got a guest in the house. Brett was careful in his speech, everyone was scared of Arnold, even his brother Shane. Arnold could kill and do bad things to anyone that angered him, he was known for that. His servants served him well in order to avoid being his next target.

Arnold stormed angrily out of the room to the garden.

Brett turned to Shane who was still grinning.

You wouldn't stop will you? You wouldn't stop till you finally make him mad.

Just leave Shane. Brett pointed to the door.

I will, but tell him, I'll be back. He smirked, quickly gulped his drink and then walked out of the door
