Fate's POV,
"Seriously you got to be kidding me !" murmuring
my thoughts I stare at her. Am I dreaming? the person who is in front of me is smiling. Okay, this is not a dream! "Fate I'm r" I slammed the door maybe too hard I could hear her groan.
Bad
This is bad
"Girls?" Miss Lee stood in the foyer. And now this is Disastrous! Her sights first went to Oliver who is still holding Joey. Seeing her mother in front Joey nudges her away.
Oliver grinned hugging Miss Lee "Young as ever. Miss Sera" She said earning a chuckle from the elder.
" Aunt Lee the girl beside Fate is she right there ?" Jerry asked still frozen in her spot. Amy looks at me confused and I gave her a look 'Yeah deal with it '
Miss Lee ignore her questions and gaze at Amy "Hmm you must be Amy?"
Amy nods and bowed "Hello Ma'am "
Miss Lee smiled a little "Oh dear, there is no need to be so formal. It is good that you two are here. Dinner is ready. You two should freshen up. We will eat together."
"Aunt Lee!" Jerry whined
"Jerry," Amy called her name. A smile appeared on her lips. She leapt from the stairs run to Amy and wrapped her legs around Amy's waist.
'Couples'
"Ahmm Jerry we're still here," said Miss Lee. Amy put her down
Jerry cleared her throat and holds Amy's hand "let's go"
We are all about to move but the impatience person who is outside ring the doorbell. Miss Sera raised an eyebrow
'oh no. Please no!'
"Fate? Is there someone outside?"
"NO!" I blurt. I know she is not convinced yet more like she is amused and the others. They are all in their worlds. Seriously,! No one going to help me in this and more importantly how the hell did she get in here? I swear to God I will kill Oliver if she...
" YAH! Fate! Open the door!"
For the love of God woman!! She didn't just yell my name
Miss Lee frowned and come closer "are you sure Fate?" She said leaning towards the door
"No!" I swipe her hands away
She Stuns by my behaviour " Fate?"
"Sorry, It's not what you think"
She whirls her gaze at me crossing her hands " then tell me what it is Fate." She sternly orders
Fine okay, think of something! something real. Believing. "Ahmm i-its a rat! i-I means a CAt!?"
wow, that's believing Busted!
Huh?'
"What!?" Everyone inquired. I could see Oliver is struggling to keep a straight face yet she is SMIRKING! and Jerry cracked up.
Bloody backstabber!
Miss Lee avoid everyone's scowling faces and reaches the doorknob, glancing at me "let's see your cat." She opened the door "Is this your cat Fate ?"
Yeah more like a human-size angry kitten. Say hello to my life's dilemma artisan.
The angry kitten's face mended with puzzlement. "Come in" Miss Lee offers.
The idol enter and stood beside me. I can't believe I ran off from her house from her. Come here to have a nice family weekend and have a peaceful meeting with my Mom. But..but... Look where we stand now Together AGAIN! And this time I didn't even do anything. She better has an explanation for showing up. Wait a minute her boyfriend. He was at her house. I left them together they were supposed to have a free weekend too then why...
"And you are?" Miss Lee's voice draws me from my beliefs
"I'm Jennie Hang Kim. It's nice to meet you, ma'am" she answers holding her hand out
"Hmm, " Miss Lee stared at her hand. It's her way to analyze people "well Jennie, What's your relation with Fate"
Relation. Hah! More like we are one day married next day divorced third day kiss fourth-day breakup couple.
"I'm Her...Friend " I glare at her
Truly!
Lier!
Miss Lee's brow knitted. She doesn't believe it either. I don't believe it either because this person told me yesterday we are nothing and now... "Friends but I don't remember Fate mentioning your name do you work together?".
"kinda"
She didn't inquire about anything else. Well, not yet but she will. Miss Lee doesn't trust anyone easily mainly when comes to people entering our life "hmm come, Jennie" glancing at me "Fate close your mouth and the door". I didn't realise I was staring at them with my mouth open.
Struck I follow them Miss Lee and I put in three more seats at the dinner table when everyone fresh up we sat together. I sat in my seat but there is a small distinction now Miss Kim is sitting next to me.
As time goes by our eating went blissful with Miss Lee's teasing Jerry because of how dramatic she was with her dream and yes she mention it in front of Amy. Jerry was flustered but Amy starts laughing so it wasn't that bad.
About Oliver, she implies how happy she was that she accidentally meet Joey. Yeah ' accidentally' like she didn't stalk our poor Joey. She also explained to us that Amy and Her got into our apartment and they meet the Idol. Which I find wired. Why she goes to our apartment instead of her boyfriend? I wonder if she is in Geru Town now so would she recall the Fate she meet at the park, the promises she ever made? 'You already know the answer. '
I do. She won't. Stop wondering Fate this time it's not about her all of this is about you. Your mom and your family don't draw her in.
" Jennie, you don't know how to use chopsticks ?" I heard Miss Lee ask
"Yeah I'm not used to it" she answers uneasily
I didn't glimpse at them I was busy with my food. wired she eats with chopsticks in her own house even when we are at her parent's house she was using chopsticks then why did she... Oh
Acting!
Did I ever mention how good she is at this? Her acting skill can make anyone think that she is the victim.
"Fate, help her " and yes it can make anyone fall for her trick. Only if Miss Lee wasn't here I would throw her out of here
'Are you sure about that?'
Of course .but for now, I take a deep breath and leaned a little to help her. I could feel her gaze on me the devilish grin on her lips. Whenever she gives me that smile it won't end up good for me. Before I could even reach the chopsticks I felt something touch my knees 'what the !'. I glanced down at the table Her left hand is holding my knees. 'is she seriously kidding me?'Well, then An idea comes to my mind. My lips went forward 'two can play this game, Miss Hang Kim '. I grab her hand squeezing it hard. For a sec I could sense she wanted to jerk her hand away but I didn't let her. Later when I finish instructing her on how to hold the chopsticks. I was about to pull my hands away but her grip tighten. her nails digging into my clothed knees. And it did not feel good. 'Good Damm it!' I sizzled in pain
"Oww!" A groan left already causing everyone to look at us. she takes her hands off
Miss Lee, who was telling about awkward moments of Jerry's childhood stopped "Fate? Are you okay?" She asked.
I rubbed my knees "Y-yeah "
"You sure Fate?" The devil beside me inquire. there is a smirk
I gritted my teeth and put on a smile "absolutely."
After we finish dinner I go to the sink for cleaning the dishes. I could hear Miss Lee telling everyone where they will sleep Jerry and Jo will be in Jerry's room and Amy and Oliver would be in Jo's.
Wait if Amy and Oliver are staying in Jo's room then that means...
"Jennie you can stay in Fate's room"
"Oh thank you, Ms Sera"
I mentally facepalm myself. Wish I could just go and tell Miss Lee that I don't want her here and just tell her to leave. If I go and disagree with Miss Lee's decision it will increase her curiosity and curiosity means I have to tell her everything. I can't lie to her. Never.
The Lavender Aroma flutter my senses "Fate Let me H-'
"Stop" Turning to the side I warn her. Her brown eyes are delicately varied from what I saw yesterday, they are dreadful. But they again amass with the urges of something. This is ruse
"Please" Her voice is pleading with distress. But why? My sight found her hands they were timidly carping her shirt sides. she is eager. The irritation of my beliefs wither
"Why are you here?" I asked. There is no one in the kitchen just me and her. Miss Lee possibly with the others for showing them their rooms. No one could hear whatever the Idol will say maybe lie.
Her lips agape to say something then again close 'Tell Me. why are you here !'. She closes her eyes and takes a breath her hand reaching for her trouser pocket, taking something. She steps ahead "h-Here"
I look at her and frown "My cellphone?"
"Y-yeah"
I clutch it " So you're just here to give me back my cell phone?" She nods bending her head" what about you boyfriend?"
Bringing her boyfriend makes her look at me " we change plans "
We? I don't think it was her boyfriend who would change the plans. He was more than happy
I take a step toward her "Did you?"
"I-'
" Fate do you w--' way." Miss Lee stopped coming into the kitchen. We step away from each other.
I cleared my throat the Look Miss Lee is giving both of us only means she is doubtful " you wanted me ?"
"Yeah I was wondering Jennie doesn't have her clothes s-..'
" It's fine she can use mine " that was first.
Miss Lee grinned "that's good then. I will be gone. if you girls need anything just knock. Good night Fate, Jennie"
"Good night Miss Lee"
"Good night Ms Sera"
As Miss Lee leave Miss Kim offers to help me with the dishes which I take. Later finishing the cleaning I take her to my room second floor edge of the corridor. I open the door she followed inside. Drawing my bags I take out the comfiest PJs I have "Here".
" Thanks" she mumbled and moved to the washroom.
While she changed her clothes I hold my pillows and my blanket. There's is no way we are sharing the same bed this time. I don't want to end up things like before. Who knows what will she will do and I being under her spell, let her do anything she presumed. 'Stick to your guns Fate '.
"You're going somewhere" I heard her voice. I Twirl around to greet her brown gaze
"Yeah" I answer. Her brows frowned. Even though she is confused but still looks cute. ' Again you're gawking over her '
"But why?!" she groaned her step coming near. discomfort, anger, hurt. Her voice is dripping with foreign emotions
"Because I don't want you here "
Does my answer halt her steps for a sec I was able to sense hurt in her eyes . did my words hurt her? just like she hurt me. "I'm sorry for everything" she uttered. she is honest
Then Again...
Sorry. I wonder why she is sorry for kissing or mocking or fooling her boyfriend. What she even means by everything is "whatever" I reach the door and open it before leaving I look over my shoulder" You should leave. you're just frittering your valuable time on me. And more thing please don't play your tricks in here "
Stepping into the living hall I railed against the couch 'guess this will be my bed for today'. I close my eyes allowing slumber to Inundate me. Miseries here I come...
