Jenny's POV
"Can I help you?" I say through the phone, completely pissed.
Now she decides to call. Perfect.
"Is that any way to talk to your mother? Come on Janine, I know I've taught you better." She says, making me roll my eyes.
Harry raises an eyebrow at me. I motion for him to sit next to me. He leans in as I continue.
"I'm so sorry mum! What I meant to say is, how are you? I'm doing great, thanks for asking."
"I'm doing fine sweetie. Thanks for asking." She replied cheerfully, ignoring my comment.
I sighed.
"Mum, clearly you're not calling for small talk so please, tell me what you want so I can hang up and carry on with my day." I say, trying to pull together every nerve in my body.
"Well I heard that my embarrassment of a daughter has gotten herself pregnant by some womanising pop star. Now I'm going to be stuck with a grandchild mixed with blood two embarrassments. I can't imagine how that baby will turn out so I just wanted us to discuss it. I thought it was necessary, don't you?"
I felt my eyes fill up with tears. "Listen, don't you dare call my baby, Harry or I embarrassments. You don't deserve the right to judge me or my family. Do not ever call me again. Oh and please tell Brenda the same." I say, trying to keep my voice from cracking.
Harry pulls me in towards him. He'd stopped listening after what mum said. His green eyes were dark with anger. I hated him like this.
"Whatever you want sweetheart. Just remember one thing, 'това, което става наоколо, такова се обадило.' Never forget it." She said.
"I don't need you telling me anything. If there's anyone that should be hearing that, it's you. 'What goes around, comes around.' Never forget it." I say, mocking her saying in English.
I put my phone down and look at Harry. He looks straight ahead, his jaw clenched.
"Hey," I say, stroking his cheek with my palm. "don't worry about it. She doesn't know you Harry. I know you. You are nothing like that. Trust me, I know."
He half smiles at me. "I'm not worried. I'll prove it to her baby. I will." He looks at me intensely for a moment. "Now, let's finish our pizza. I'm starving!"
And like that, we continued our way.
