What If

40

On this chapter, I'll have to focus more with Mark and Jenny's P.O.V. and the story will just revolve mostly with them. This chapter also will focus on the upcoming Christmas season and how they prepare it as a couple.

"Hey Jenny, how was it working with your boyfriend?" Fiona's lovely voice chirps out as I wore my jacket preparing for the ride to my work. I roll my eyes playfully and grab my bag and books.

"There you again, Fiona. Haven't I told you to not mention about it at school?" I whispered softly while glancing at our surrounding. Paranoid.

She crossed her arms over her chest while staring at me with an amused expression.  "Why are so shy about it? He's hot and famous, so Why are you hiding him?" She hissed. As if what I did was a huge crime.

"Complications. And besides,  I hate publicity. " I sigh and is about to walks away. "Gotta go, friend. See you.." I glance at her and wave goodbye.

I didn't wait for her reply as I quickly jogged outside of the building to where my motor bike parked. I didn't brought my helmet so, I grab my bonnet and wore it as I wiped excess snow from my seat. It's not snowing, but I think it may have some time, since it's going to be Christmas soon. I could even see the lighted Christmas trees around campus.

The ride to the chocolate shop was exhausting. I am freezing like hell as soon as my bike turns to stop. I quickly climb off and drag it towards the small parking space exclusively for employees. 

"I should pick you up starting tomorrow.  It's dangerous to ride a bike when it's snowing." A deep raspy voice calls from my back. That accent I have known all along. And when I turned to look back at him, my brows furrowed.
"No, Thanks. I can manage." My reply was short but with edge. Seriously?

"Tomorrow it is. No buts. No ifs." He snaps while turning away.

"Jerk." I hissed to myself.

When I settled with my bike, I hurriedly grab by things and quickly steps inside.  Mr. Macole is sitting at his table, his usual spot. And Justin helps with the servers. From the moment, he knew that Mark and I were together, he didn't teased me nor flirt with me anymore. He politely wave his right hand and mouthed "Hi" Which of course lessen my already heavy burden.

I put off my jacket and hang it on the rack near my locker and grab my apron. Comb my hair once more and add some lip gloss. And headed directly to the counter.

I was so busy scribbling something on my pad, when a very sexy and beautiful lady appeared at my front.

"Yea, how may I help you?" My lips quickly arc up into a smile.

She raised her right brow at me and scanned the area with a strange look. "Is Mark around?" Her accent is obviously British,  and it somehow made her so alluring. Her hair is dark Which hang seductively on her creamy bare shoulders.  She's really an epitome of beauty. But by the way and how her eyes roam the place, I knew immediately that she's not as beautiful inside.

"You knew him?" Was all I ever say. And I catch some amusement glistening wickedly on her pale green eyes. 

"But of course, dear? I'm Adele and I'm his fiance. " she says with such confidence that I almost stumbled on my feet while staring at her with open mouth. I know that Mark mentioned little things about her,  but never did I thought she's a fiance. I know also that our relationship was just pure business deal but I can't help but felt a slight pang of jealousy inside. If where this stupid emotions came from, I Don't even know.

"Are you dumb or something?" She spits,  waking me on my self thinking.

Just when I was about to say something to her, I heard a voice from a distance.

"Wow, Adele. Is that you?" A deep raspy voice says. And when I turned to look at it, it was Mark. Wearing a wide grin and a sparkling eyes extending both of his hands to her with an embrace. And I couldn't stop myself but turn away.
