Secrecy of Regrets

59 - Favourite Colour...

59 - Favourite Colour...

After the whole 'Henrick Borg' thing, we had our lunch with only Charlotte giving voice to our silent table. She was babbling about her upcoming exhibition and Ethan was trying too hard with his remaining brain cells.

Jack made no attempt to hide his 'I m not interested' self and I on the other hand was torn between performing my best friends duty and love for my remaining sanity.

My eyes caught that little shift in Jerk's expressions for few seconds before he composed his regular boring pose as he saw something in his cellphone.

I narrowed my eye at him as if that knowledge will flow to my mind. As if knowing that I'll be the only person playing Sherlock there, he sigh audibly and attracted Charlotte and Ethan's attention.

"We are having dessert and only then you are allowed to go Zacky" - Charlotte said before Jack could ussher us out of the restaurant.

"I will only have chocolate flavoured dessert nothing else in it or else I m perfectly fine staring and gagging at you eating your dessert." I said it clearly having a waiter thinking for 5 seconds whether I ordered a new recipe he didn't know about.

"Chocolate flavour - these two words would be enough." - Jack said with the normal voice to my surprise.

"I just wanted to justify how serious I m towards chocolate flavour." I shrugged.

"Okay, before we go I want to ask for your suggestions. I need to take part in exhibition but the condition is that the participant can choose only one colour and have to make designs out of that particular colour's fabric only." Charlotte asked looking at us one by one expectantly.

"And I m thinking of Red or Pink or something of that shade." She added.

"That sound good I think. Because they are your favourite colours after all." Ethan agreed instantly which earned eye roll from me.

"The colour you going to use should bring the focus on the message you want to convey through your desings. So choose wisely." - Consulting advice anyone? From Jack Nicholson. 

I was last of course. Everyone turned to me. I looked at everyone feeling the weight of situation - Charlotte's situation.

"Navy Blue colour. Now you can decide the message that will be best conveyed by Nevy Blue colour." I just stated matter of fact.

"Because you love that colour." Jack scoffed or I thought he tried to scoffed or he just concealed his laughter?

Whatever...

"J todays night chat will be on colour Navy Blue." I looked at her prepared to argue but she won me by saying -

"- I'll make you a hot chocolate." - I literally saw Jack shaking his head as if knowing the only bribe I can be bought with.

"What is the wrong with colour Red?" Ethan asked amused. I didn't know why he was grinning.

"I don't know. But everything is right with the colour Navy Blue." I answered.

Ethan was grinning like an idiot again.
We were out in a parking lot when Jack announced that I need to go with HIM at HIS office to get the documents which I need to hand over to Mr. Kevin.

I was arguing that any man can hand those paper over to Mr. Kevin but my arguments fell on deaf ears.

I spotted Ethan grinning again when I was reluctantly dragging myself to Jack's car. Because I so badly wanted to wipe that grin off his face I ran after Ethan.

We circled his car two to three times only for Jack to come behind me and blow his car horn.

I jumped in air with a squeal. Ethan came and pinch my nose when I was too busy in steadying my heart.

Ethan whispered something and I turned immediately towards Jack.

"Coz' Navy Blue is Jack's favourite colour."

Hey Wattpaders!!!

I know 'long time no see' - situation again.
Sorry for the very late updates.

So here we at last come to one thing that is common in Jack and Jiyana.

And the question hanging in the air 'Why did Jack order Jiyana to come to office?' It was just the papers or something else?

Seeing Jack straight to the point person, he'll have no secret though.

See you in next chapter...

Happy Reading!!!
