Twisted

Chapter 7- Charm

Jeff~

The next morning, he parked his car at the school's car park and spotted Genevieve looking around very anxiously around. Jeff walked up to her. He tapped her shoulder and she turned around, their face inches apart. Genevieve blushed and took a step back, continuing to look at the floor. Jeff frowned.

"What you looking for?" He asked curiously. Genevieve sniffed sadly, Jeff pitied her. He placed his arm comfortingly around her. Genevieve looked at him sadly. She took out her phone and showed him a picture of a charm like bracelet.

"I lost my lucky charm yesterday, I can't find it!" Genevieve wailed," it is the only thing that reminds me of my dad!" She started sobbing. Jeff thought for a moment.

"Maybe it got washed away by the rain... Or someone stole it.Maybe it dropped into a drain..." Jeff said, shrugging his shoulders. That made Genevieve even sadder. She cried harder. And shoved him aside, hurt by the things he said. Jeff pondered for a moment. What should he do?! Then he got an amazing idea. He dragged Genevieve into the front seat of his car. Genevieve looked at him like he was crazy. Jeff started the ignition and they drove off. Genevieve went mad.

"What the hell!!!" There's school today!! Where are you taking me?" She shrieked. Jeff patted her shoulder. She screamed some words at him before slumping back into the seat and gradually fell asleep. She must had have stayed up the whole night worrying about the lucky charm. With the image still fresh in his mind, he sat off to town to get her a new bracelet.

Lucky for him, he found one exactly the same pair as the real lucky charm. Well, he had parked his car at a lot and left Genevieve there to sleep as he sat off to 24 jewellery shops to find that same model bracelet. He paid for it and looked at it in thiumph. Perfect. He thought. He wanted, he truly wanted to find the bracelet for her. Now, to at least calm her down... He wanted to take her to a place that he loved, and he hoped that she would love as well.

And to capture her heart too. Jeff thought solemnly. He did not like the seducing part at all.

Genevieve~

She had a peaceful sleep and woke up in the car with Jeff. For a moment, she panicked. Why was she in the car with him?! Where were they going?! Genevieve was going to be car sick. They drove up and down uneven roads. We're they going up the hill?! Genevieve checked her watch, it was noon. She slept for 3 hours. Jeff moved her to the back seats. She had a grip on something. She felt the smooth and bumpy sides of it. She brought it closer to her to see it. It was her lucky charm! Genevieve was elated. Just then, the car stopped and Jeff got out of the car. Genevieve sat up straight.

"You are awake, Genevieve."

"If not what? Are you going to push me down the hill?!" Genevieve retorted. Jeff shook his head slightly and gave a small smile. He beckoned his hand to her. She stepped out of the car cautiously. They were on a hill. It was nearer to the clouds then on land. It was a beautiful place... Amazing view of a valley below them. Genevieve smiled. She loved it, it was so peaceful. She looked at Jeff, and gave him a thumbs up. He smiled back at her, a gentle warm smile that touched her heart. She wished they could capture that moment. Jeff walked over to her. Genevieve slot her charm safely in her pocket. Jeff took something out of his pocket. It was the same lucky charm!
Genevieve looked at him in astonishment.

"I found it on the way here." He lied. Genevieve pushed the charm back to him and hugged him gently. She had her charm in her pocket. Where did he get his? Genevieve wondered.vWhen she finally broke the hug, she smiled. Jeff looked puzzled. And he looked even cuter than before. Genevieve noted. She wanted to kiss him. Was that even allowed?

"Where did you get that." Genevieve asked.

"I found it in the back of my car. It's yours right?" He frowned. Genevieve giggled and shook her head. Jeff sighed.

"I found my on the car seat already!" Genevieve exclaimed and burst out laughing. Jeff looked stunned. Then he joined her in laughing. He shook his head. And started protesting.

" I went into 24 shops to find this little thing!" He chuckled." And you simply found it in the back seat of my car?!" He exclaimed.

She laughed along with Jeff as they compared the bracelets.

"Thank you!" She breathed.

Jeff drew back in surprise.

Genevieve blushed. Jeff smiled, she looked cute.

He took out his phone and took a photo of her.

"Hey!" She protested, trying to grab the phone. Jeff hid it behind his back. He made a funny face.

"I looked ugly in that photo." She said.

"No, you didnt!" Jeff said.

Then they sat there and watched the view silently. Before they knew it, it was time to go.

They drove back in silence- Genevieve slept again. When they reached school, it was end of school. Genevieve walked out of the car.

"Thanks Jeff." Genevieve thanked and walked off.

"Bye," He murmured.

"Bye." Genevieve said. She walked away from him.

She knew he was doing it on purpose, playing nice. She knew but two could play this game.
