*Next Morning*
She hurried downstairs to meet Arnold having breakfast. He was already prepared to leave.
"Good Morning." She greeted and sat.
"Morning Jenna." He replied with a deep stern voice and she wondered what was up with him.
"Are you in anyway angry with me?."
"Have you done anything to anger me Jenna?." He asked chewing slowly.
"No, but you didn't stay with me last night."
"I needed to be alone, you don't expect me to be with you all the time." This words he said shook her. What was happening? Why was he behaving this way?.
"Sorry." She replied and left to her room then he walked out the door.
What was happening to Arnold? Why was he behaving strangely to her? What was all these about?.
He wanted to be intimate with her and now he was giving her attitude. She decided that she would try hard to hide the feelings she's got for him. If he wants to be this way then it's fine by her but it's going to be a tough one.
Later that Evening Arnold returned home, he went to check up on Jenna as he saw her reading a book.
"Arnold." She climbed out of the bed and walked to him.
He was standing by the door, she walked to him and hugged him but he didn't hold or hugged her back.
She pulled away and looked up at him. He didn't look at her he just looked away.
"What is going on?." She asked looking like she would cry.
"It's late, you should have dinner and go to bed." He replied.
"Arnold what have I done?." She placed her hand on his cheek, he slowly took her hand away and turned around.
She stood in front of him again, putting her arms around his neck and bringing his face close to hers to kiss him but he pulled away.
"You should stop doing that." He walked out.
Jenna stared at the door like she read something on it. What was happening? And who was this man? Arnold never behaved this way.
She slammed the door shut and locked it then she went down to the floor crying silently. Why was he hurting her this way?. Was it a crime to love a person? He made her fall in love with him and now he wants her to stay away?.
"Where is Jenna? I asked her to come down for dinner." He sat comfortably.
"I'll go call her." Lady Ann went up to her room.
After a while she came back. "She has refused to come down for dinner Mister Arnold."
"Why so?." He asked.
"She gave no reason to that Mister Arnold." She looked down to her feet.
"You may leave."
*Next Morning*
Jenna woke up by the sound of a knock. (Knocks)
"Jenna" she heard Arnold called out her name.
She didn't want to open the door at first but when she heard him call her name again, she did.
"Are you okay?." He asked and she nodded.
"I called you for dinner last night but you declined."
"Wasn't hungry." She looked away.
"Oh I see. That's okay then,Take care of yourself." He turned around and left. He had expected her to hug or kiss him but she did none of that.
She went back to bed immediately she heard her phone beeped. It was Ace, "Hello?." She spoke.
"Hi Jenna. I've got good news." He sounded delightful.
"O..okay " "...."
"I found a job for you at a school."
"A school?." She asked.
"Yes, it's not that far from home. You could come down here and I'd take you there."
"Okay thanks,I'd be there." She hung up.
She picked out a nice clothe and got ready to leave.
Corey had left with Arnold so she took a cab instead. When she arrived home, she saw Ace.
That was the guy she ran away from and now she was here to see him again.
"Hi." He walked to her.
"Can you take me there now?."
"Yes sure."
.....
They arrived at the school and was now in the Principals office.
"Yes Miss Jenna. You'll be teaching the 1st graders, you'd love those children they're so sweet and adorable."
"Thanks Mrs Lucy." She smiled.
"You could start tomorrow. Have a good day." They shook hands and walked out of the office.
"It's such a nice school." Ace.
"Yes." She replied then Ace turned to look at her side face. He cursed having to lose such a beauty.
"So how is he?."
What was he expecting her to say? That she doesn't understand the man she claims to love? And that he's acting weirdly these days??.
"I'm asking Jenna." He titled his head as she avoided his gaze.
"H..he's fine." She forced a smile.
"You don't look okay, is he taking care of you? Is there any problem over there?." He looked worried.
"I'm fine Ace. I just need to rush home to have something to eat."
"You haven't had breakfast?, is that boyfriend of yours doing his duty?" He asked with a creased brow.
"Ace please don't start this." She placed her hand on her forehead.
"Fine but we need to go eat somewhere okay?"
He drove to a restaurant nearby and they had some food to eat.
"Finally we're here." He smiled and chewed slowly looking at the goddess before him.
"Don't understand."
"I've always been asking for a hang out and now here we are."
"Mmm...I want to apologize for everything, for the way I hurt you, for the way I left that day. I'm sorry-
He cut her off "That's fine. All I want is your happiness, and if you're happy with him then I'm fine with it."
She knew he had a hard time digesting that. He wasn't fine with it cause he was hurt. He came back to LA to find her with someone else, why would he be fine? He had always been this way, even if he was in so much pain he wouldn't let anyone know just so that they wouldn't be worried.
