She could feel his warm and hot breath on her face. she stared at his black eyes. she was lost in them. she saw different emotions in them which made her stare more.
She was awaken from her trance, when the voice spoke. "are you alright"
she came back to reality and with his help she stood properly. "thank you"
She heard the door opened and felt relieved it was Lily because she can help her with this awkward situation right now.
"sorry if I interrupted", Lily said raising her left hand which was with her phone up.
Courtney glared at her to stop what she was saying, it wasn't the right time to behave silly. Courtney nodded her head negatively and waved her two hands.
Lily understood the sign and decided to change the topic. "do you need anything you've been helping us lately how about some juice and we can make some food for you"
Jacky pocketed his hand and walked to Lily and stared at her. " thank you, another time". with those words he walked towards the door and out of the building.
They stood there completely silent until Lily spoke with a smile. "what happened between you two when I was gone. she looked exited to hear what happened."
Courtney eyed her and left her carrying the shopping bag into the room. Lily was surprised by the act and followed her.
"hey!, why the silent treatment"
Courtney turned to her immediately and tapped her hard on the shoulder hard.
"ouch! what's that for". Lily asked touching her hurting shoulder and looking at it with pain
"that's for leaving me I know you left me on purpose" Courtney said glancing at the hurt shoulder and feeling bad but had to stay strong and stared at Lily.
Lily left her shoulder and looked at her friend. so, I wanted you guys to know each other. "you can't lie you guys have an interaction. he cares about you". Lily spoke moving front and back.
am literally scared of him, said Courtney bringing out the clothes from the shopping bag Jacky gave her.
why, I know he has a terrifying look but you can't lie his handsome, Lily said to her friend and sat on the bed. she looked at her friend who was folding the clothes and placing them on the bed.
just forget that, keep your clothes because I won't help you, she said and walked to the wardrobe and kept the clothes.
ok, Lily stood up and carried her shopping bag. she opened it and took out the clothes and pulled they price tag because her friend didn't do any of it.
Courtney pulled her phone from her and turned it on. she had a saddened look which Lily noticed.
"what happened" , asked Lily who stopped what she did and walked to Courtney who sat on the bed because she was done with arranging the clothes.
"I asked for a part time job for a company which have different facilties to water, "Courtney said.
"just be patient, it will soon come around, who can resist you", Lily said with an attempt to cheer her friend up. her plan worked and Courtney smiled a little but looked worried.

Jacky was at the large sitting room. he was sitting on the largest sofa in the sitting room. the sitting room had a large television and the walls were painted white and had steps arranged vertically. the floor had white hairy mattress. It had a stairs begind the sofa leading to the second floor.
Jacky phone rang as he wasn't watching television but laying on the sofa. he sat on the sofa and picked his phone which was on the table.
He saw a WhatsApp via video call from Leo and Zack. he looked at the screen thinking before he answered.
"why did you call" , he said rudely.
"we called you and you treat us like trash", said Zack hurt.
"says someone who hasn't called his friend", Jacky said with sarcasm
Zack itched the back of his head which was not itchy. yeah, sorry, about that.... Jacky caught him off because he didn't need an explanation.
Why did you call, he was really getting annoyed.
Leo quickly spoke to avoid troubles. we will start training for basketball tomorrow. coach says he needs us back, we are his only hope because his having many challengers and he need a team spirit to motivate the other basketball players which we are. Leo said to his friend
didn't he say he didn't need us because we are no more useful, Jacky reminded his friends.
yeah but he apologized, Zack said to his unpleasing friend.
you guys might forgive him, i also forgive him but I won't join, said Jacky thinking this conversation isn't going anywhere.
He really begged, you know that man has a lot of pride but he begged and he said we will have a water delivery for us and the team Everytime, said Leo who stood up and walked towards the kitchen and opened the fridge to take bottle of water. he walked to the kitchen counter and pulled a glass cup and poured the bottle of water into the glass cup.
We can get hydrated without a water delivery, Jacky said still adamant about not joining.
Yeah but please, we really need you, for the sake of our friendship, said Zack
Jacky looked at his friends and sighed in defect. he really cares about his friends.
great, I have to work out, bye, bros, said Leo and he hung up.
Jacky waited for Zack to hang up but he didn't. Zack waited to see his reaction but it was calm and he found it a perfect time to speak before his moods change. his moods change out of a bliss.
my anniversary is coming this next week what should I get for her, said Zack.
"I don't know, she's your girlfriend so you know her properly not me", said Jacky as he laid on the couch and used his idle hand as a pillow.
"Yeah but.....he couldn't complete his statement because Jacky hung up. he has a lot of temperament, said Zack as he threw his phone on the bed."

Olivia was in her room thinking. her room was filled with the colour purple but her bed was white while the quilt was white also. It had four normal sizes widows compared to Jacky house. the room as a small floppy sofa besides the edge of the room. it was a spacious room.
Oliva turned around and closed her eyes and remembered when Jacky gave Courtney the shopping bag and embarrassed Olivia by ignoring, refusing to come to her house. she didn't know the kind of anger and rage that filled her. she stood up and threw a vase near the window on the wall.
The maids heard the noises from Oliva room and ran to stop her but the door was lock. the oldest out of the three maid knocked and called out her name. "mam Olivia"
They heard another sound of a broken object and panicked. *madam, please stop, you might hurt yourself, the maid said."
Oliva threw her quilt away and her cosmetics on her mirror to the floor. she threw them all away. she grabbed her hair and screamed. "why!"
"why doesn't he love me?, why, am better than her. prettier than her, smarter than her. gaaah, she didn't realize when she broke down but didn't cry. tears were filled in her eyes and she fell hopelessly on the floor."
she rested her back on her bed and joint her legs to her chest. she rest her head on her leg and mumured with a sobber voice. "why?"
*******
Courtney and Lily sat idle on the bed. Courtney kept looking at her phone while Lily kept playing with her phone.
Courtney almost gave up hope when she heard her phone beemed. she looked and saw it was a message, she tapped it and almost screamed if she didn't cover her own mouth.
Lily noticed her and stopped what she did. "what happened"
"I got accepted, I can work , Lily could feel the happiness in Courtney voice"
"scrow up to look for more information." Courtney did has Lily said and scrow up.
She was surprised when she read the content and Lily noticed her friend reaction and grabbed the phone. she read the context and was surprised.
*whoa, you are quite lucky, you just have to work in school as the water delivery for the basketball players", Lily said as she scrow both up and down.
Courtney had a normal expression and smiled." the basketball players?, well that's okay because I can work in two places. nothing can go wrong now"
