In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Good idea

"Jenna?" Richard called walking into the room quietly.

"Yeah?" I said gently.

"What's going on? What are you doing in here?" He said desperately as he switched the light on.

"Oh she was just showing me this book." Oliver shrugged and Richards eyes widened looking over at me who stood there kind of out of this world. I had a few drink previously and I think they may had gotten to me a little bit.

"Is she still showing it to you?" Richard asked.

"No." He responded. "I'll be leaving now then." Oliver said after an awkward pause.

"Jen," Richard smiled walking over to me and grabbing my hand. "What's going on?"

"Oh funny story. Right so I thought I leant him this book but he said I didn't. So I came to show him the cover of it so he'd remember and turns out I leant it to Matt not Oliver. Funny right?" I laughed a little holding onto Richards hand as we perched on the edge of Matts bed. "No? Ok I guess you had to be there." I rolled my eyes.

"How much did you drink?" He asked me carefully.

"Not a lot." I shrugged.

"You shouldn't be drinking at all. You're on tablets that strictly say no alcohol." Richard placed an arm around me tightly and leant against him and closed my eyes.

"I forgot." I hummed.

"Let's go talk to Lily." He suggested and we went back outside into the main bit, found Lily and she decided it best we went back to dorm.

As Lily, Richard and I sat in our dorm and drank coffee I started to feel a little better. We were chatting for chatting sake to make sure I didn't feel ill and want to throw up because it was all about getting food to stay inside of me at the moment.

"My phone." I said at the sudden ringing.

"Here." Richard said grabbing it and passing it to me. "It's your dad."

"Hey." I said answering it and standing up leaving Richard Lily on the couch alone.

"You're not sure about me?" Richard frowned at Lily.

"What?"

"You aren't are you?"

"You're dating the most fragile girl in the world at the moment, of course I'm not sure about you. Its ever since you appeared that she started getting this underweight business." Lily scoffed.

"It's just a coincidence." Richard shook his head.

They sat in silence hearing Jenna talking on the phone in the distance.

"I do genuinely think your idea for Jenna's birthday is good. Excellent actually. I'm sad I didn't think of it." Lily mumbled.

"I'm glad we both want something. I like the idea too." Richard agreed.

"I'll start a group chat and we'll discuss it before we make any rash decisions." Lily smiled at him.
