Rendezvous

A New Life

Chapter 3

" Whoa, look! There's so many shops here. " Jenna acclaimed with a happy face.

" Yeah, girls are always busy shopping everyday. " said Harris, tongued at her.

" Can' t we? " Jenna stared at him sideways.

" Ok, fine. Sorry. " said Harris with a playful smile.

The car passed by the bustle street, and turned into a peaceful street. Jenna saw the signboard outside the window , it says ' Hogwart Residency ' . It reminded her when she was back in 3 years old, where her parents brought her here to visit aunt Andrea. Not far away, Jenna could see aunt Andrea' s house.

Aunt Andrea said " We're here! " . She parked her car in front of the house gate . They went down the car and took their luggage bags. Jenna followed behind Harris. She stopped and looked back to recall her memory.

Numbers of England houses were built in this Hogwart Residency. Jenna remembered there was a playground in a garden nearby. She played there before when she was 3 years old. It was fun , she thought.

" Hey Jenna, why are you in the middle of the road? " aunt Andrea's voice stopped her from the reminiscence.

" Sorry, I was just looking at the beautiful view of your house. " Jenna answered.

" She was dreaming, perhaps. " Harris blurted. Jenna stared at him sideways again. Since he grew older, he always teases Jenna. That's why Jenna hated him. But she always thought that he was talking nonsense, as to reduce her angriness.

The trio walked in the house. A flight of stairs appeared beside the door. The hallway of the second and the third floor could be seen from the bottom. Aunt Andrea led them to the living room. Bright and attractive wallpapers were pasted throughout the living room. Comfy sofas and a big LCD television were placed in the living room. There were magazines and newspapers on the tea table.

" It' s so beautiful ! " Harris exclaimed. " Am I going to stay here or do I need to rent a house? "

" You can sleep beside the road. " Jenna teased him back. Harris showed an angry face. She laughed as she was able to make him angry .

" There's a guest room on the second floor. " aunt Andrea said, laughing at the two.

" How about me? " Jenna asked, smiling.

" I've prepared a room for you. I'm glad you would love it! " aunt Andrea said, as she walked to the stairs . " Come, let me show you your rooms. "

They went up the stairs. There were pictures of aunt Andrea and her family hanged on the wall. The guest room is just next to the stairs and Jenna' s 'special room' was next to Harris's .

Aunt Andrea opened the guest room door, and let him in. Jenna could see the decoration of the room from outside. The wall was painted in skyblue and blue. There was a closet beside the window, and a study desk on another side of the window. Queen sized bed was placed face to the closet. It looked comfortable though.

" Thanks, aunt Andrea. " Harris said.

While he was arranging his luggage bag, aunt Andrea brought Jenna to her 'special room' .

The door was opened, Jenna shocked, her mouth opened wide. " Is this my room? I love it! "

" Yes, dear. " aunt Andrea smiled.

The wall was painted in light pink and dark pink. A set of study desk and armchair with rollers placed near the window. There was also a laptop on her table. Her closet was different then Harris's . It was a modern-typed closet, with sliding doors. Different kinds of clothes and dresses hanged inside . Her queen sized bed was filled with comfy pillows and bolster. Her favorite teddy bears filled beside the wall. The comforter on the bed looked so soft and comfy, made her impatient to sleep on it.

" Thanks aunt Andrea, you're the best! " Jenna said happily.

" Okay, quickly arrange your stuffs and come down to the kitchen . " aunt Andrea said , felt happy as Jenna loved her room so much. " Oh, and call Harris to come down too. " she said, then walked down the hallway to the staircase.

At least here was like home. Jenna thought, thinking of her home. After arranging, she called Harris and went down together.

---------------------------------

" Jenna , you know how to cook right? " aunt Andrea asked, as she was washing the vegetables.

" I think so, just fried egg. " Jenna said, blushing.

" Hahaha....." Harris burst out laughing. Jenna gave him a glare. " Do you know how to cook then? "

" At least I can cook for a meal. " Harris said with a playful smile.

" Show me then. "

" Alright. "

Aunt Andrea heard the conversation between the two, she smiled and said " Since Harris wants to cook, then I will leave this task to him. " she turned to Harris and asked " Is it ok ? "

" No problem ! " Harris answered before he tongued at Jenna.

---------------------------------

" Hahahaha....." The laugh voice from the living room made Harris regret on agreeing to prepare dinner himself. If he didn't agree , he could watch the movie now.

"It's ok , I will cook delicious food to show Jenna. " Harris thought, smiling.

--------------------------------

The night had fell. Jenna and aunt Andrea were watching movie , and Harris was still busying cooking for dinner.

The smell of the food flutter through the kitchen, the living room, and into Jenna ' s sensitive nose. " What's that smell? It smells appetizing. "

" What smell? " aunt Andrea said, her eyes looking at the television.

" Food! " Jenna said near her ears.

After Harris had placed all the dishes on the table, he said loudly " Dinner is ready ! "

From that loud voice, Jenna bounced up from the sofa and went to the kitchen, followed by aunt Andrea.

------ In the dining room ------

" Your cooking level was great ! Unbelievable. " Jenna said.

" I told you. "

" I admit that your level was not bad though." Aunt Andrea enjoyed the dinner.

------- In the living room -------

" I'm so sleepy " Jenna yawned, and then turned to aunt Andrea and said, " Aunt Andrea, can I go to sleep now? "

" Yes, sure. And don't forget to cover your blanket tightly. The weather is cold outside. "

" Okay. " said Jenna, yawning again.

" I'm going up too , aunt Andrea. " said Harris, and he ran up the stairs. " Good night, Jelly. " he said before going in his room.

She hate it when he call her Jelly. It was a nickname that was created by Harris since they were young. And now, he still didn't stop it.

Jenna lied down on her bed, thinking of her home. She missed her family. But she must get used to this new life, BRAND NEW LIFE .

-----------------------------------

" Aaa...." Jenna woke up from a dream, wiped off the drops of sweat on her forehead . " Why would I have this kind of dream? " she whispered in her heart.
