In Love with Impossible

Chapter 13 - Game On

Jenny

What was I to do? It wasn't like I could control my actions when I was drunk! Still...a kiss? What the hell is wrong with me? And after I made him promise not to kiss me! To make it worse I pretended not to remember a thing!

Well, what's done is done. Another sealed memory again. Anyway, why did he kiss me back? Could he...by any chance...nah! How could that even be possible? Well I had to just pretend not to remember anything right? Then that would be that. At least I get one proper kiss from him. I'll just have to suck it up and be content with just that.

Meg got out of the car, still looking a little teary, I hugged and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Cheer up, " I told her "my dad said he might come by in a few weeks....you'll look forward to that right?"

She nodded miserably. I left her in front of her apartment, the girls she shared it with would probably cheer her up more. Meg's apartment complex was quite a simple place, but from the dark green decorative trees to the hand painted elevator doors, it was beautiful. It wasn't shabby but it didn't look like a awkward high classed place. A brightly lit hall and a large bouquet of flowers at the receptionists table. Neat, tidy and simple.

The people who lived here were mostly youngsters, fresh out of college, like my sister. They were all doing their own part time jobs until they got proper settlements. Meg was studying her heart out to be an economist and I payed all her fees, I'm not complaining, I loved doing it and with my salary it was never a big deal.

An elderly lady got out of the elevator and smiled at me, I smiled back. Mrs.Brown was one of the only old folks living here, a small lady with curly grey hair and crocodile glasses. She was quite rich and you could always count on her to take care of the younger kids.

"Hello Mrs. Brown. Going anywhere?"

"Hello dear Jen! Dropping off Meg I guess?" She chuckled good naturedly "I'm just going down to the grocery,"

I frowned when I thought of the weather outside, it had been clear awhile ago but as the evening approached the chill crept in. I didn't like the idea of Mrs. Brown out there alone in case the weather took a turn for the worse and a storm blew up.

"Oh? I'm heading that way too! I'll drive you" I offered. She nodded gratefully and I helped her to the car.

I checked my phone again. There was no message from Edward. Perhaps he hadn't seen it yet? My heart sank, just a little and I shook the feeling off. The car was beginning to feel very stuffy as I sat patiently, waiting for Mrs. Brown to return. I rolled down the shutter and tucked my hands into my coat pocket. The air was cold but it was quite refreshing so I didn't mind.

Blonde hair caught my eye. At first I ignored it. Then I heard a shrill voice wail for chocolate cocoa. Much like a spoiled child crying. My head shot up and I screwed my eyes until I caught site of the source of the racket. Penny stood next to Edward, who seemed slightly ruffled. So this is why he didn't text me! I thought furiously.

I walked over to Edward, winding my way through the mass of cars taking refuge in the car park. When he saw me at last anger flashed through his eyes. It made me stop in my tracks and rack my brains for what I'd done to make him mad.

Nothing came to mind, we'd being teasingly texting a few hours ago so what had happened in between? My eyes fell on the wailing Penny and suddenly I had my answer...Penny had happened...hadn't she?

" Hey Ed, Penny" I said, purposely avoiding his eyes and ignoring the anger sizzling in the air.

"Weeeeell! Jenny! How have you been?" Penny asked me.
