They were silent, after some hours Jenna directed Brett and the car Screeched as they stopped in front of a small White House.
This is it. Jenna turned to Arnold who just sat looking out of the window.
I think we are here. Damien said as he came out of the car.
Arnold sat quietly in the car, Jenna got out of the car as she waited by the door..
She noticed Arnold was still sitting in the car,then she came to him.
Ain't you coming? She asked as she peeked through the window glass.
Arnold turned to her. No, you go, I'll wait here. He replied and then turned away.
I want you to come in, Grandma would really love to see you . She looked at him with those pleady eyes. Arnold had no word to say as he just agreed.
Alright. He slowly got out of the car. Jenna walked with him as they stood at the porch, Jenna ranged the bell, it was a white button which was close to the door.
Who is it? Grandma yelled from inside. Jenna quickly smiled as she looked up to Arnold who just stared at door.
It's Jenna Granny!. Jenna said excitedly. Well it was so long since she saw her, she couldn't wait to see her again.
Granny opened the door, and all she could see was Jenna standing by the door.
Oh my Jenna! I've missed you so much Dear! .. Jenna immediately went to hug her, she didn't want to let go.
Granny hugged her tightly, after minutes of embrace, she noticed there were three men Jenna came with.
Granny let go of Jenna,mm.. are they here with you? She turned to Jenna who stuttered.
Yyes yes Grand Ma. She forced a smile. She knew what was coming next, Grand Ma had always told her that she needed her to her a man. And that she was at the right age of marriage. Oh God! Hope she doesn't create a scene!! She hoped and prayed within her.
Arnold stood silently, he didn't even know what to say, he had never been or met with an elder woman.
Damien smiled as he greeted. Hi Ma'am! .
Grandma turned to him, oh my Boy! How are you, you're so handsome. She complimented.
Brett was now forced to say Hi. Brett was certainly uncomfortable, yes, he was so cold, his eyes told it all, he was always on black, same as Arnold. He hardly smiled, he always forced a smile each time she was around, just so that she'd feel comfortable around the men.
Please come in.. Grandma gave way for the men. They walked in, though Arnold came in last, his eyes swept the house, it was a nice house, one could tell by looking at it that it was a house for a small family, the Dinning chairs were few compared to Arnold's, it was a wooden table and chairs too, the couches in the house were just few, and old, they were old people living there so it wasn't surprising to the Men.
Looking at the walls were frames hanging on the wall, he saw a photo of a little girl with a big teddy, she looked exactly like Jenna, but she was more beautiful and adorable.
His hands were tucked into his pocket as he took time to look at the photo frame.
Grandma saw how he looked at the photo, so she walked to him and handed the photo Frame to him. He just forced a smile and took it.
Please sit. She gestured. The Men looked at Arnold who didn't mind sitting, he was so into the photo the held. The Men wasn't expecting Arnold to sit on such old couch, they were surprised he sat, so they followed.
Mm.. I'd just go make Dinner, you all be comfortable. She smiled as she walked to Jenna and took her along.
The kitchen could be seen from where the men sat, it was just an open window, the men could see the ladies.
(Bell rings).
Are you expecting anyone Grandma? Jenna turned to grandma who was stirring up the food she cooked in the pan.
Grandma just stared at the door without uttering a word.
I'd just go check. Jenna walked to the door, The Men just looked to see who it was, they expected to see another person other than the woman.
She opened the door and she stood shocked, Ace? Seems she wasn't expecting Ace to be here.
Jenna? A deep voice echoed the the room as Arnold who was on his phone turned to see Jenna standing close to the man.
Arnold was eager to know who he was, whether he were her brother or a close relative.
Jenna! Where have you been I've missed you. He said calmly, as he looked deeper into her eyes, Jenna couldn't help but fell silent.
He put his hand around her waist.. as she let out a silent gasp.
Arnold's look deepened, he didn't look like a relative , he was trying to flirt with Jenna.. he thought as he blinked twice.
I..I wasn't expecting you. Jenna struggled to say those words.
I.. he leaned in, as though he wanted to kiss her lips.. Arnold's eyes widened as he wondered why that Man had guts to flirt with Jenna in front of him.
I knew you'd be here. He whispered then he removed his hands off her waist.
Arnold's gaze sharpened as he glared at Ace. Ace didn't even notice the three men seated in the room .
Ace walked in leaving Jenna standing by the door .
Grandma peeked from the kitchen. Ace? She called. Then Ace went straight to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
My super star! He hugged her. The Men could see that he wasn't a stranger at all and that they were all so close.
Jenna walked back into the kitchen as she frowned at the both of them acting like they were a couple.
Ace, was Grandma's Nephew, he met Jenna when she was thirteen, he lived with them since then but he moved out a year ago to another state for work.
Ace and Jenna were close, and they understood each other. Granny could see a thing in them but she just smiled each time
they fought with each other.
