My Crush's Bestfriend ✔️

Chapter 6 : Sweet

♡ Jessica Woods ♡

No one had no idea how pathetic I was because I've faced a lot of embarrassing moments in my life and all I could do was recalling them and soaking my pillow.

I was laying on my bed with my black striped pyjamas, doing nothing as I lost in today's thoughts.

When I came home, my mother was cooking something enthusiastically as usual and when she saw me she waved at me and before I could wave back she turned her attention to the freaking pan, she was holding on.

I knew my mother didn't care me at all but now I was feeling that she was going far away from me. She didn't even ask how my prefects investiture ceremony had gone or atleast she could've asked 'how're you doing, Jessie?' instead of giving me a quick hi gesture.

I descended downstairs and slumped on the couch when I realized it was dinner time. Alexander, my brother, was watching something on the television and I didn't have much energy to fight with him for the remote so I took my phone out of my pocket and unlocked it before opening my gallery and looking at Jace's picture I screenshotted yestereday from whatsapp.

After today's incident, I found Jace more handsome than Samuel. I stared at that picture only God knows how long until my brother spoke.

"What are you looking at?" he asked, turning his gaze towards me.

"Is that your business?" I retorted, hugging my phone to my chest dramatically and he huffed before averting his gaze back to the TV.

"Fine, but don't be like this when my friend comes here for the dinner." he stated and I sat up, crossing my legs.

"Friend? Who's that?" I asked curiously.

"Is that your business?" he repeated the same question I asked earlier and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay okay. But is it a girl or boy?" I asked, wiggling my eye brows.

"B-"

"No lies, young man." I cut off him before he could lie and he frowned.

"It's a girl okay?" he groaned. "Now go get yourself dressed."

"Sorry bro I can't. but I'm happy that my little baby brother has grown up to get a girlfriend by his own." I said, leaning over to pinch his cheek but he quickly swatted my hand away and I giggled before laying on the couch again.

"She's not my girlfriend." he remarked and I waved my hand in the air.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"Alex! Come here!" mom shouted from the kitchen and he warned me not to touch the remote before leaving and I kicked his butt when he walked past me in response. He glared at me and I glared back but before he could anything, my mom called again so he just walked away.

I wondered would Jace reply me if I sent him a message as Thankyou. Maybe he would. Maybe he wouldn't. It was unpredictable so I decided not to send anything.

"Jessie!" mom called me by my name as she approached the couch and extended the wallet towards me. I looked at her wallet and then at her in confusion.

"Go and buy an oyster sauce bottle and yeast." she commanded and I scowled at her.

"Why should I want to go?"

"Because I said so." she said nonchalantly.

"Mom, I can't.." I denied, standing up.

"Why?"
