Shane left, and Brett did as well, he knew Arnold needed a time alone.
The Garden was a ca environment where he came to cool off each time he was angry,
Each time he runs to the Garden he wouldn't be tasty for someone's blood.
He sat there for hours and he didn't even realize it was already Evening. It was about 4pm, he was seated at a bench, looking up to the sky, just then it hit him, Jenna hadn't had Breakfast.
He thought for a moment, then walked back into the Mansion, he got her food from one of the maids and took it up in a tray to her
He was already at the front of her door, he knocked. She didn't respond..
that was unusual.. he said to himself.
He then knocked again, but still no response.
He opened the door slowly as he saw her dotted on her bed, with her face buried in between her legs and her arms across.
She slowly looked up to see him standing in front of her, she was in tears, her face was red, she was relieved at the sight of the food in the tray he held, but she stayed to remain calm.
What's the matter ? He asked slowly placing the tray on the table.
Did she appear to you? He asked as he stood up with his arms across his chest.
Jenna shook her head.
Then what? He still stood facing her, this time he was so handsome as ever, he wore a black long sleeve top, he looked so ravishing, the top arms were folded to his elbow.
She just admired him as though it was the first time she ever saw him.
I..I'm hungry.. she averted her gaze as she held her tummy. Immediately her stomach growled.
She was so ashamed as she glanced at Arnold who just stood watching her.
Did you have to do that now Tummy? She spoke to her tummy inwardly.
I brought you food, .. he said then he glanced back at food.
She slowly stretched to the table,she held the tray of food and kept it on the bed.
She really wanted Arnold to let her have her food alone but he was still standing there, glaring at her.
Arnold saw the look she had on her face.. why are you looking at me that way? You want me to leave? .
Mm.. no, I just.. she stuttered as Arnold cut her off
It's just Nothing, Jenna. I'll leave. He turned and was shouting leaving.
I.. I didn't ask you to. STAY please. She said with that sweet melodic voice she always had.
Why? He asked backing her.
I.. I don't want to make you angry just like your brother did. Jenna immediately regretted her words, she knew how bad he hated Shane.
Arnold upon hearing his name clenched his fists, Jenna could see that as she just looked up at his broad shoulders. Arnold exhaled silently as he released his hand. Then he turned to her.
He's not my brother. He said straightly, as he placed his hands at his back like a Royal prince.
But..I.. she was immediately cut off.
But nothing, not talking about it. His eyes changed its color again this time it went red.
Jenna's eyes widened in shock as she stared into those eyes, there were fears in her eyes .
Arnold saw the look she had as he averted his gaze,
Don't look, Jenna. He covered his eyes with the inner surface of his forearm and then turned around.
Jenna still looked with fear, she wondered what just happened, how can a man's eyes changed from Black to red?? Her heart almost flew out of her chest.. her heart was pounding.
Would he kill her now he's angry?? She looked at him with suspicious, curious and fearful eyes.
Arnold immediately left her room, he went to God knows where .
Jenna completely lost her appetite, she just covered the food and left it on the table.
She thought things through, probably he was just a special being right? She tried convincing herself, she tried not to get scared of him but the truth is that she in fact was scared of him
It was dusk, Jenna couldn't stay in the room alone so she went searching for Arnold.
She searched in the possible place she knew he'd be.
After searching for him in the library, sitting room, Gym room, she didn't find him, so she walked to the Garden and there he was.
He sat on the white porch swing . He looked straight to the green rug and flowers, obviously he was lost in thought.
He didn't look angry, he was just calm now, he was back to his normal self, he sat with a leg on the chair and his arm placed on it, while the other leg dangled .
Jenna stood watching him from the entrance hallway .
After observing, she walked to him, and stood silent for a moment.
Arnold felt her present, actually she had a particular scent, she always applied a sweet scent body lotion, he scented it when he cuddled her to sleep.
What are you doing here? He asked but didn't turn around .
How did you know I was here? She slowly walked to his side, Arnold gave her space to sit, and she sat, but not close to him.
Let's just call it a gift, I had it since I was a child. His voice was calm as ever.
Jenna stayed silent for some minutes.
Are you now scared of me? He asked, he didn't turn to face her.
She was confused by the question then she realized he was talking about what she saw today.
No, I'm not scared of you Mister Arnold, cause I know you're a good man and you're just trying to scare people away from you , but I don't know why.. she replied sincerely.
Arnold turned to her, with his mouth opened, he wanted to say something but he felt he shouldn't. Then he turned away.
After some seconds glanced at her, then he slowly looked away.
Found a job yet? He asked.
Why was he suddenly talking about the job? Does he now want me to leave? I had totally forgotten about it, probably he just wants me to leave. She thought.
Not yet, but I was thinking of visiting Grandma, its been a while and I'd love to see her. She peeked trying to know if his mood changed, but no, he had that same confused and calm look.
He took about twenty three seconds to respond. And where does she stay?
Beverly Glen. She replied, hoping he'd accept that she'd go visit her.
It takes two hours to get there. He replied.
How did he know that? He has never been there before. She asked herself.
When would you like to go? He asked raising a brow.
Tomorrow... was she too fast with that? Would he accept? She asked herself.
That's alright. He said straightly.
Jenna was happy he agreed, she surely couldn't hide the smile, suddenly Arnold turned to see her smiling. He had never seen her smiled before, that was the first time he saw her smile, and to him he didn't know why, but he somehow would loved if she kept smiling, her smile were so beautiful that her dimples which were on both sides of her cheeks were visible .
Arnold blinked then he slowly looked away.
We should go in now, it's quite late. He stood up and walked inside while Jenna followed.
After they had Dinner, Jenna went up to her room, as she went to take a shower, Arnold was already in her room waiting for her, he laid on the bed with his arm on the headboard slat,and his head rested on it, one of his leg sat up on the bed while the other laid.
She got out and was surprised when she saw Arnold already there.
You're here already. She stood still with a white towel across her chest, her body wasn't well covered and her thigh was visible.
Arnold took time to look at her perfect glittery white skin, and she just burned with embarrassment .
She quickly walked to the changing room and shut the door.
Her heart was racing, he would've at least given her time to dress properly before he appeared.
She wore a white silk lace night gown, it was short and it was on her thigh, she then out on the white robe which fell to her knee. She then let her curly long hair pour down to her belly.
She opened the door and walked, to the bed, she was so shy as though she was walking in front of a huge crowd. The sight of Arnold made her tremble.
Arnold just watched her as she climbed in the bed.
She carefully laid down as she covered herself with the blanket.
Thank you for staying tonight. She glanced at him then turned and laid back.
Arnold could only nod, as he stretched to switch off the lights.. immediately it went off
Jenna jumped up , argh argh .. Mister Arnold? She couldn't see a thing as she made way with her hands searching for Arnold's body on the bed.
Are you still here? Please turn on the lights, I..I'm sscared..of ff... the dark.. she sounded scared as she stuttered.
Arnold immediately turned the lights on as he grinned at her.
She wondered why he did that, she just swallowed. Thank you.. she said softly as she laid back , backing him.
They both slept, Arnold had never for once be deepened on his sleep, no matter how he slept, he could always know if someone moved or tiptoed.
Jenna saw herself cuddling her Big bear, which she had always had as a kid at her Grandma's place. It was a really big white bear.
She crawled to it and wrapped her arms around it.
Arnold felt an arm on his chest, as he wondered what she was doing.
He was surprised by this act cause she'd never do a thing like this.
He was shocked when the words ' I missed you so much' escaped her lips, her eyes were closed and she was smiling, as she hugged him tighter and slowly kissed his cheek.
Arnold had never received a kiss from anyone, so it was knew to him, what was this girl doing? He faced up and then he saw her smiling in her sleep,
This certainly was funny to Arnold as he could only grinned at what she did.
Seducing him wasn't enough, and now this? He smirked.
She clearly didn't know what she was doing.
He knew if she weren't asleep she wouldn't dare hold him, he knew she was a shy and soft girl and inexperienced too.. so this she did tonight only made him laugh.
She was sleep talking. I've missed you Gummy bear, she held him tighter. Arnold just stayed frozen, he didn't want to ruin her sleep so he let her hug him all through the night.
