Only If I Could Unlove You

Chapter 14: Screw this!

°°°Third person's pov

Soon dinner was ready. Prissy carried the last dish to the dining area and placed it on the table.

Behind her,Jayden brought the dessert he had made and place it beside the dishes they had prepared.

".... I'll go upstairs. I need to change"

Prissy,said and went upstairs. Leaving Jayden to tend to the used utensils.

Prissy entered her room in a hurry as if someone were chasing her. Then leaned her back against the bedroom door.

Earlier,when they were in the kitchen and he was so close as if...
She closed her eyes remembering how it felt.
He had lean so close to her she had even forgotten to breathe. His warm breath  hitting her neck and his strong arms, Wrapped her tiny waist.

Emotions. That word alone scares her. It frightened her. She has never felt this much emotion at once before. And it scared her. She believes emotions make you weak. They make you do things without thinking about the outcomes.

Somewhere inside,Prissy knew she didn't hate him. In fact, it's the complete opposite. He was perfect in everything. His looks were ten out of ten. He has an attractive personality. Good sense of fashion. He has this aura that instantly makes you feel comfortable around him.

Shaking her head,she tried to get her thoughts straight. He was getting under her skin and it irked her. Getting herself together,she took off her t-shirt and changed into another. She went back downstairs only to see Jayden sitting without eating. When Jayden looked up and saw that she had come,he could only smile.

".... you're here. I was waiting for you "

She just pursed her lips and walked to the table. She sat down on the chair directly facing him.

He took of the cover from the glass brown and the sweet smell of the food instantly filled the room. Prissy heard her tummy rumble at the sight of the mouth watering food.
They had prepared a simple rice pilaf
With veggies.

Prissy took a quick glance at him. He was so focused on scooping the rice into the plate. When he was done,he gently placed it in front of her then he scooped his portion. Prissy noticed he had given her the good part of the meal and took just a small amount for himself.

" Enjoy..." He said to her then dug into his food. Prissy took her spoon which lay beside her plate.

She scooped the rice with some veggies and took a bite and damn it tasted like heaven. The food melted in her mouth like butter and soon she stated eating so fast as if she's been starved.

" Hey take your time else you choke...."

There was amusement laced in his voice. She was eating so fast that he was kinda worried that she might choke on the food. Who knew the great Prissy could be such a foodie

“ you know.....I don't know why you keep being mean to me. I mean, what did I do ?”

Prissy looked up at him hearing his question. He stopped eating and looked at her, waiting for her to answer.  Prissy sighed and poured herself a glass of water then drank it all in one go.

" You know, just because we cooked together doesn't mean we're okay"

" Stop trying to change the subject and  answer the question Prissy!"

He didn't want to pressure her but he was really starting to lose his mind thinking maybe he had done something wrong.

Prissy looked at him annoyed and place down her spoon.

"....you know what. Screw this. Enjoy your meal by yourself"

She said and left the table and Jayden could only look at her retreating back.

Meanwhile Prissy walked into her room and closed the door with a loud bang.
She closed her eyes trying to calm herself down and it seemed to have work.

She left the table not because of his question but because she didn't have a reasonable answer. She had no reason to dislike him. But how could she tell him that?

She walked to her desk and picked up her phone. She saw a message and quickly opened it. She thought it was that stalker but it was a message from Anna

Drama queen: Hey gurl. There's a party at Matt's place tomorrow night. Wanna come?

Prissy didn't like such stuffs. Being around a lot of people wasn't really her thing. Without thinking she rejected the offer

Prissy: Neh... I'd rather stay at home. Ask May....she might go with you

Drama queen: You know May, she would rather stay and play those stupid games.

Prissy: * upside down smiley emoji* why don't you ask Aiden. I bet he'd loooove to go with you.

Drama queen: First of all...ewww * vomiting emoji* I'd rather listen to my parents talk about their super boring animal documentaries than go with Aiden. And second.....Aiden has an unhealthy skin and I definitely don't want to be anywhere close to him

Prissy shook her heard reading what Anna said
