Only If I Could Unlove You

Chapter 15:What a morning?!

The next day

Since it was a Saturday, Prissy decided to sleep in.

The sun  peeked though the slightly opened curtain and reflected it's rays over the sleeping figure on the bed. She had her black messy hair sprawled out on the pillow. Her delicate eyes closed and her lips slightly parted. For some reason,she seems even more beautiful when she's asleep. Or perhaps  it's because she looks so delicate and sweet.

Jayden sat there staring at her sleeping figure. He had come to wake her up to have breakfast but couldn't seeing how tired she looked. He sat on the chair beside her bed gazing at her with a small smile.

".... only if you were like this while awake. Quiet and sweet.."

His whispered to himself.
His fingers reached out and was about to touch her pink soft rosy cheeks when  he stopped just as his fingers were about to touch her.

She moved. She turned to her side groggily and her eyes slowly fluttered opened. She raised her hands over her eyes shielding her eyes from the sunlight.
Lazily,she sat up on the bed and looked around her.

'that's odd. I could literally swear someone was here...'

She thought inwardly but brushed it away since there was nothing that looked out of place in her room. Yawning she got down and slid her feet into her crocks.
She gathered her her up and tied it into a messy bun then walked into the bathroom.

After a few minutes,she came out looking fresh and left the room to go downstairs.

" Good morning dear. How was your night? "

Gloria greeted Prissy as she took a sip of her coffee. She had a news paper sprawled in front of her.

"Fine.."

Prissy walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took out the milk jar. She looked around the kitchen and saw the glasses arranged on the top shelf. She tried reaching out to grab one but no matter how hard she tried she just wasn't tall enough.

" Who place these up here mom!?.."
She fumed.

"That would be me..."

She heard Justin say behind her. She was about to turn when She felt his chest press against her back. He had reached out to take the glass for her but in the process had leaned closer to her.
Justin pulled back the moment had grabbed hold of the glass.

But just at that moment she also turned and pushed him -not too hard-out of her way then rushed out of the kitchen.

Jayden just stood there confused with the empty glass in his hand.

Meanwhile Prissy sat on the chair beside her mom with an annoyed expression.

'Argh he's getting on my nerves. I swear I'm going to kill him one of these days'

"What's with the expression dear? And why's your face all red?"

Gloria asked.

"It's nothing.. "

Prissy simply said. Gloria didn't want to pry any more so she just went back to what she was doing.

A hand place a glass half filled with milk on the space in front of her and she didn't have to look to know who it was.

"You forgot your glass and milk..."

Jayden flashed her a smile and her lips twitched.

' ah can't he ever stop smiling?!... it's starting to get annoying '

She hesitantly took the glass and took a huge sip. All her life she has been alone in this house and now everything suddenly changed. She couldn't even have a peaceful day in the house without coming face to face with this new 'brother'. If he were ugly,it would have been much easier to not like him but he's beyond gorgeous. He's so handsome that he could compete with the greek god, Adonis himself.
While she was busy cursing him in her head,the glass she was holding was tilting and only realized when it spilled onto her dress..

" Ah great, what a morning..."

She got up without looking at the two people in the house and head straight to her room.
Gloria glanced at Jayden who glanced back at her.

"Is it me or...does she look at you with a little less hostility today?"

Gloria said. She noticed Prissy had a less hateful look and a more annoyed look when she glanced at Jayden

Jayden just shrugged and went back to eating his breakfast.
