The Devil's Sweetheart

79

Jennie was giggling and rolling on the bed like a Chimpanzee when Nayeon started talking about Adney's fear of ghosts. "Scared of ghosts, Adney comes and sleeps in your room every day and you are allowing it?"

"I don't have a choice. Mom and dad will kick him out telling him that if a grown-up boy sleeps in their parent's bedroom, it is an insult to them. Sometimes, uncle Callison will sleep in his room and the rest of the days, he would settle in my room when night arrives. In case, he hears any ghost stories from his friends." Nayeon whispered. "That brat doesn't even close the bathroom door at that time and keeps talking with me until he comes out."

"I can't take this." Jennie rolled on the bed kicking her legs listening to Adney's funny stories. She is also scared of ghosts but she is not a scared cat like him. Just like her craziness, his scariness is on another level.

"Do you still have his stories to-"

Just then they heard a knock on the door. "I will open it." Jennie got down from the bed and to make her way. When she unlocked the door, she saw Francis standing at the entrance, his eyes slightly red and swollen.

"Are you not well?" She could sense he is sad over something. Did something happen suddenly? He was fine when he came here.

"I just had a little too much." He half-smiled, indeed, he couldn't cloak his emotions in check in front of Jennie. Still, he maintained a smile as he spoke. "I am going home."

"Careful Francy." She nodded her head and hugged him.

"I will." He patted her head and released himself from the hug. "Sleep in Nayeon's room." He declared.

"Okay." Like an obedient kid, Jennie listened but she knew she would end up in his room once he leaves. She went along with Francis to send him off despite he was nagging him to stay in the room. Until the car disappeared out of her sight, she waved goodbye to Francis. Jennie wished there would be someone to take care of him but he is as stubborn as a mule when it comes to relationships. For her sake, he didn't get married. He cleverly convinced that stepmother would separate their bonds which he didn't want to happen. Tired of arguing with him, Jennie stopped asking him.

While walking into the house, she messaged Nayeon that she is going to stay in Lisa's room. If she goes into her room, Jennie knew Nayeon would not leave her alone. She didn't wait for her reply and walked towards the other room and knocked on the door.

Lisa opened the door and smiled at her. "Finally, you have come to my room?"

"Correction, babylicious. It's our room." She winked and entered the room.

"Thanks for reminding, darling. Go and take a shower. I have arranged everything in the closet."

Nodding her head, she scanned the room went into the closet, and picked a ruffles nightdress. Just like her home, he has filled everything here. He even arranged all nether apparel. How did he know her sizes? She was getting shy thinking of it. But then again, they have to share everything in the future right? Fine then. With that thought, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

While Lisa was talking in the call, he heard the footsteps after a long period and turned around to see Jennie was back from the bathroom all fresh. He dropped the call and strolled towards her. "I told you not to wash your hair in the nights. Do you ever listen to my words?" He began scolding her grabbing a dryer.

"I will listen to your words from tomorrow." With a pout, she stayed quiet while Lisa dried her hair.

"And you tell the same thing tomorrow." He grumbled and once he was done with the drying, he turned her around. "Did you like dresses?"
