What If

"No. I wouldn't agree to it. Who knows what's your plans behind this? I want to know the details first and then let's talk about things after." I strongly stands to my decision. I'm not just a cheap girl to just flaunt to be a somebody's girlfriend with no reason. Okay, granted with his good looks, but this is not just a simple plaything for me. I know I'm too young to overthink things but my lessons in life, being the eldest taught me to be mature for my age. At least with the way I think about things I guess.

I hear him sigh and a slight annoyed groan escaped his pressed lips. "Okay, if you really want to know. " says he as he gently combs his hair with his long slender fingers. "I messed out with a girl. At England. A long time ago. And she's coming here just to prove to me her point. That she's fucking over me or some shitty reasons of moving on from me. Like who the hell cares, yea?" His spits out harshly, eyes grew wild in annoyance.

My brows quickly arc upwards. "You Don't care yet your entertaining her nonsense points? How immature." I can't help but says.

"It's not that. And foremost, Don't call me immature. She's a bitch and is going to ruin my life. My career as well. You just have to pretend to be my girlfriend until I'll get rid of her. And that fucking project will be all yours." He then smirk knowingly.

I shakes my head in disgust. What are these people? They're making a fuss out of simple things while there were lots of people having bigger problems than them. Just like my sister. Or mostly, my parents. I have a feeling that they're the one who will smash their heads thinking how to smoothen the situation than my sister. She won't mind causing trouble to everyone and she Don't care whatever the circumstances are afterwards.

"Hey, you still with me, Jennifer?" He snaps his fingers in front of me like I'm in a trance.

I answer with a nod and a small smile before finishing my drinks. Bottoms up.

"So what now? Let's have an agreement first just to ease that doubt in your smart head. Your terms then." He smiles and dimples peaks on his face. And I couldn't help but pinch my thigh with my index and thumb fingers a little bit to prevent me from gasping loud.

"Okay. My terms then. Uhmm.. " I tried to cough a little bit to ease the turmoil inside.

I tried to focus on what will be my terms when my phone beeps on my pocket. A thing I haven't even used most of the time because I'm not just a cellphone girl or something.

"Hello?" I say on the line as I put a finger in the air to send a "just a moment" message to Mark.

"Where are you?" It's Janice on the other line as her tiny yet irritating voice comes in line.

"What do you want?"I snaps and roll my eyes. Why the hell she's calling me now? We're sisters but it's not everyday we got to call each other through phone. Especially Janice whom despises calling me.

"I need you here,Jenny. I need to see him and mom and dad were just so annoyed when I told them and mom just got hysterical like she's going to be dead if I'm going to see him ever. Could you come over here please and told them you want to accompany me to the store to buy something for the pregnancy?" He voice squeak leading into a small sob. And I immediately felt pity on her given her current situation. It's really not easy to be pregnant during your teenage life because you'll miss the fun and exciting life as a teenager.

I sigh before I glance at Mark who's looking at me.with curiosity in his green eyes.

"Okay, I'll be there. Just wait for me and Don't do anything stupid." I tried to sound as calm as ever but I'm also having second thoughts as to follow her request or not. Last thing I want is my mom and dad hates their two daughters coniving with each other.

"Okay. I'll be waiting for you here. Be quick." Her voice is soft yet as arrogant as ever.

"Okay, bye. " I bid goodbye then hang up . Then I turn to face Mark who sits comfortably on a chair across from me.

"What's wrong?" He asks,

"It's my sister. Look, I really need to go home now. She needs me there. Maybe I'll just give you my terms some other time?" I said to him unsurely.

And before I knew, he extends his hand with a phone in it. When I look up to him not understanding what he meant, he puts the phone on my hand and sank back on his chair again.

"I already got a phone and I Don't.. "

I hear him chuckled and his eyes full with amusement as it look straight on me. "Not yours babe. That's my phone. I want you to save your number there and then I'll just call you later for your terms.." he says amused.

I felt my cheeks all red and I want to hide under the table in embarrassment. I quickly saved my number and gave his phone back to him.

"I'll take you home." He declares as we were getting ready to stand up.

"No, it's Okay. I can manage.."

"Hey are you insulting me? I'm the one who asks you out. I should be the one taking you home. Don't insist. My decision is final.

Then he walks away first heading the counter to pay the bill. He is just so moody.
