Chapter 32

"My dear! can we talk... even if it's a minute... I know you have been a lot lately but I have missed you so badly..." Dean mumm dragged Jennifer where they both sat in the sitting room
"Mum! You know I'm tired" She grumbled but slowly sat closer to Dean's mum.
"I'm sorry... don't worry... it won't take long and I promised not to bother you again" she commented placing her hand toward her fragrance hair and at the same time with a smile on her face.
"Mum! Don't say that..." Jennifer grumbles while hugging Dean's mum one more time.
"Before I forgot... I cook Dean's favorite... I didn't know you were coming today... I could have prepared something else but you can try it... Dean's favorite is awesome" She smiled, staring at her.
"Mum! We ate one on our way home... but don't worry... when I'm less busy, I'll have a taste of Dean's favorite... So how have you been... I missed you" Jennifer hugged her again... she felt her soul missing since she has never had someone who cares for her just like her family now.
"Hmm... I'm great... just praying for you to come home... I'm happy you are back now... you know... I have missed you and since the day you were kidnapped, Dean has never had a good night's rest... he kept on thinking of you, morning, afternoon, and night... I know deep down. he'll be very happy to see you... so where did he pick you up" She asked, smiling at her just as a newborn baby is conceived.
"He picked me in the boutique where we wanted to go shopping... he said he got a text to pick me up there... I'm happy nothing ever happened to him" Jennifer smiled back at her as both of them kept staring at each other.
"Hmm... that means he must have paid the six million dollars" She commented looking confused... but never failed to remove the smile.
"Six million what? But he didn't tell me anything about that... Why is he like that... or is that why he's been so quiet lately... chai... I need to talk to him... mum... please I have to see him now... there is no time mum!" Jennifer tried walking away but Dean's mum stopped her.
"My dear! come. There is a reason he doesn't want to tell you so why don't you keep it that way and pretend you never know what's going on... trust me... Dean has been so much lately and what he needs now is time to think of the money" Dean's mum grabbed her back as she was about to leave the sitting room.
"Fine mum... I won't bother him but for now... I need rest... don't worry... I'll find out who those kidnappers are... I promised..." She stood up slowly while walking away from Dean's mum but she didn't stop her.
"Fuck...6 million dollars? for what... who is that bastard that demands 6 billion dollars... fuck..." She murmured to herself and entered her room.
Shortly why she was resting, Dean came in without knocking and decided to spend the rest of his time with her
"Hi... dear... can I rest here for a bit... I need someone to talk to" Dean rested his bed beside her as he placed his hand above his head while staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah... you are free... so... what... do... we... have... to talk about..." She stammered as she drew herself away from Dean.
"Hmm... can you lie down close to me... please" I looked at her with a glimpse and watched as she drew herself closer.
"You know... since you left... I have missed you and I can't stop thinking of you every time but I don't know if you also feel the same way as I do" I expressed my feeling as my heart kept pounding for me to tell her.
"Why are you bringing this up now... anyway, I need to rest... can we talk this some other time" she turns herself sideways, not wanting to see Dean's face anymore.
"I'm sorry if I have made you angry but I just want to know if you also have the same feelings just as my heart keeps telling me" I continued to stare at the ceiling and was expecting a reply but she didn't say anything.
"The last time, I had a feeling for a lady... oh... I forgot... I have told you before... but... Jenni... honestly... I felt like spending the rest of my life with you... I know you have an issue with your parents but I promised to be by your side and make things work for you and your parents... I promised and I'll never let you down my love" I smiled as I feel joy in my heart while expressing my feeling but unfortunately, Jennifer is already snoring to show she's already in a deep sleep and this angers me for talking to myself.
"Fuck... first time... I have said such a lovely speech in my life but you were not listening... anyway, enjoy your sleep" I stare at her while using the duvet and cover her body, reaching her shoulder level. I felt loved again and tried kissing her in the fire head but the footsteps I heard from outside, made me stop.
"Mum! What are you doing here" She opened the door as both of us contacted each other.
"I came to check how Jenni is doing but now she's asleep... Can we talk downstairs... please..." She was still standing at the door while Dean was staring at her.
"Mum! I need rest but don't worry... come inside and let's discuss it here" I urged her but she kept staring at me without saying a word.
"Umm...umm... downstairs... please" Her can made me stand up slowly as I followed her and locked the door.
"Mum! What is it... I felt my head aching and I needed to sleep" I grumbled as I followed her downstairs.
"Why didn't you tell Jenni that you paid 6 million dollars? " She stopped and stared at me as I was about to go back to the room but she refused and held me Captive.
"Mum! It's unfair if I told you... and beside... I have to carry the cross myself" I grumble but she continues to drag me downstairs.
"I understand why you do it... and now I can see that you are fully ready to take responsibility for that girl... what is your next plan Dean" She sat down, still holding Dean in her hand.
"Mum? Are you in control of my life now.... don't worry... I know what to do mum?" Immediately she removed her hand... Dean ran out of the sitting room but his mum didn't stop him.
About a few hours later when Jennifer had finished resting and was having fun in the sitting room... she got a call from her colleagues.
"Hi... I told you if we can see and discuss... 2 minutes will be okay if you don't mind...I'm waiting for you in the restaurant where you and Dean have been having fun... please I'm right there and you should start coming" Jeffrey has already ordered the second beer before he informed Jennifer... he has been thinking lately about how to compose himself on Jennifer.
"No problem... I've dressed already... I'll be on my way now" She quickly stood up and ran out of the house without telling anyone what she was up to.
immediately, she took the cab and got to the restaurant as soon as possible but unfortunately, when she got there, she didn't see Jeffrey again so she decided to wait at the door.
"Hi... come inside..." Jeffrey came out of a door while waving her hand at Jennifer.
"oh," She walked closer to him and sat opposite him. She was surprised to see there is already an empty bottle on the table, making her wonder if he has been with someone before.
"Sorry... was someone here with you?" She questioned and sat slowly.
"No... I'm sorry... I have been drinking but don't worry, I won't get drunk...Waiter... come over here and clean up this mess" Jeffrey shouted at the waiter as they rushed toward him with their black and white dress with the apron attached to them always.
"Sorry... Why are we here... I thought it was urgent...`` Her presence alone makes Jeffrey continue to stare at her but he quickly composed himself and not something gets into him.
"Yeah... It's not urgent... I don't know what makes you think it is urgent" Jeffrey smiled looking sideways but staring at her again "the thing is... I just wanted to check up on you and know how you are doing... I heard... you were kidnapped" Jeffrey has never been so caring at the moment currently... As he admired her scent, he slowly collected the drink from the waiter and dropped it on the table himself... making Jennifer continue to stare at his left hand.
"How did you know I was kidnapped and where did you get those scars from... I don't know... but..it...lo... Nevermind..." She kept on thinking of what to say to him but quickly pretend it's nothing.
