In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Arguments

Sorry for not updating in so long, I was meant to be doing it more regularly but I got caught up in stuff and I got busy. I will be publishing hopefully everyday or every other day at least now.

"It like a 100 degrees in here." Richard exaggerated to make a point. "Take your jumper off." He pointed at me.

"No, thanks." I shuffled away from him and just followed him through the canteen when he gave in. His canteen was very different to ours, obviously filled with uni students and I often felt out of place.

"Hows everything at dorm?"

"It's good, I guess. Lily likes the new things we've been trying out. Like when she's not sat in the chair, we take it into her room, or another room so she doesn't have the constant reminder that it's there." I nodded smiling.

"That's really nice." Richard smiled.

"Yeah. It's all getting better I guess. Everyday it's something new, and Lily shouts and get frustrated, but we get over it quickly." I explained.

"And how are you?"

"I have absolutely no appetite." I pushed my food away from me as we sat in the canteen.

"You never do." He pushed it back at me. "But you have to eat anyway or you'll collapse." Richard moaned. He always managed to get me to do things, even if I only ate a tiny bit, it was still something. He was persuasive like that.

"Rich--"

"Jenna. Eat it." He huffed, I could tell he was pretty fed up. "And take that jumper off, it's really too hot in here."

"No, I really don't want to." I gave him the eyes. The ones that told him to really listen to what I'm saying and that I wasn't to be told what to do right now.

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes.

"Are you tired? Do you want me to push you?" I asked Lily as she was wheeling herself down the corridor, but she looked really out of breath and tired.

"I can handle it." She sighed.

"Oliver. Hey can you push Lily for me, she's getting tired." I nudged his side, we were all walking to class together.

"Sure no problem." He said taking over for her and walking along side me. "Everything alright with you guys?"

"Yeah good." I smiled across at him. "How's your English essay going?" I wondered.

"The first 4 words? Yeah they're great." Oliver nodded sarcastically.

"Hey, what happened? I thought you were smart, and you were going to try this year." I nudged him.

"I am trying and failing miserably." He explained.

"You can always borrow some of my notes. I mean they're pretty organised if I don't mind saying so myself." I laughed at my own joke as he laughed along too.

"I'd love that."

"I could even sit down with you and do some work on the essay if you like?" I offered. "I tutored Lucy and Olivia and they seem alright now. I mean they passed last years exams."

"You tutored Matt as well remember." Lily laughed as she had finally caught her breath and was enjoying being pushed for once because she was struggling this time.

"Oh yeah I did."

"Well if you don't mind..." Oliver shrugged.

"Of course not. How does tomorrow night sound?" I asked.

"Uh. Great." He nodded. "Well here's your classroom, I'll see you tomorrow I guess." Oliver said letting go of Lily's chair and I just smiled as he left us and I smiled across at Lily.

"You're not tutoring him." Richard snapped as if it was the worst thing in the world. He'd become fairly controlling recently and it did Piss me off for a while, but now I'm kinda used to it.

"Uh yeah I am." I scoffed rolling my eyes.

Richard didn't like it much when I disagreed with him and then rubbed it in his face. Like rolling my eyes or speaking rudely to him, he doesn't like it, and then when we're fighting I usually do them on purpose.

"You're not doing it Jen. This guy is way to innocent." He complained.

"Innocent?"

"He wants to hang with you privately at your dorm when no one else is here. Some people find that weird when the girl already has a boyfriend." Richard moaned and moaned.

"I know rich, but honestly he's just a friend and you've got to get over it and realise that girls and boys can be friends and not be in love with each other, or sleep with each other!"

"I don't trust him." Richard stated.

"Well, do you trust me?" I sighed.

"Of course."

"Then there's no problem. I do not like Oliver, I love you and you know that." I rolled my eyes.

"It's not just the flirting thing. You're over worked already. Your modelling, looking after Lily is you life now and studying and school. You have enough going on. Don't tutor this guy." Richard practically begged me

"It's too late." I sighed.

"No it's not." Richard said angrily.

"Can we drop it now." I asked.

"Whatever."

"Right now you've had a little argument are we ready to go and eat Italian food?" Lily asked as she sat next to Matt in the sofa.

"Yes. I'm starving." Richard smiled.

"I'll stay here I think. Richard already said...I'm over worked." I was basically mocking him.

"Hey stop this. It's not funny." Richard smirked.

"I know it's not funny. I have work to do and I need to do it. Is that a problem?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Well I'm not going either. I'll stay here and help you work, anything. You're not getting out of this." He demanded.

"You're going. You need food and I need some sleep. I'll see you later on." I moaned.

"I'll bring back some pizza so you eat something." Richard spat angrily at me as he left with Matt and Lily.
