Destiny

Chapter 23 - Guests

My eyes snapped open and almost popped out of its sockets when I realized last night hadn't been a hallucination nor a  dream after all.

The Jenkins family emphatically stayed overnight in my home .

The scarcely perceptible footsteps that belonged to more than one person and  a disturbing snore was enough to be certified and proved .

How did  a date with Ed to the party end up with the Jenkins in my home?

I face palmed myself. It was verily my fault but still I couldn't be inculpated entirely.

After an imbecile had forced me to join a stupid, vacuous pool party , Drew Jenkins's was kind enough to ask his chauffeur to drop me home.

Out of courtesy and only out of courtesy had I asked them to stay overnight in my home and to my utter horror Drew Jenkins agreed .

Of course there was the little part I was missing in the big picture . The one that involved Renzo .

The feeling that had burst through my chest when he had touched me , the goosebumps that had erupted in the places where our bare skin had met -where purely due to the fact that I had been taken by surprise by the sudden reaction of certain unnecessary , reckless hormones that had been dormant for quite a while .

And I , was better than that to keep it under my domination and not the other way round now that I had been caught off guard .

But that was not the only thing I had been giving a thought last night . There was the other gospel I realized a bit too late- the late realisation that  the Jenkins blood was super saturated  with craziness with also  table spoon of nobility .

So now that my head was back to its normal efficient working pace , I tried to swallow a disturbing thought .

The thought that I had guests!

How could I ever drop thinking about it? I couldn't recall the last time I had guests staying my home leave alone a billionaire family !

I took a quick shower and ran to the dining room where I could hear hushed voices.

I blinked when my eyes fell upon the dining table .

So many dishes for just a breakfast?

I stared at Cami giving her a pointed look.

She came scurrying up to me and stood on tip toes to whisper in my ear .

"I'm so sorry Miss Tracy .I had no clue on what the guests might like .So I thought I'd try everything that I was quite good at .I mean ....I didn't want to disappoint such a noble , sweet family ."

So the Jenkins had won her heart too?Not a surprise there .

"Its alright Cami ." I replied just as Ada Jenkins appeared from the kitchen with a tray containing an Italian dish that I wasn't aware of .

"Tracy , I love your home. Its absolutely marvelous." she voiced looking up at me with bright lit eyes .

"Thank you, Mrs Jenkins .Feel free to explore any part of the mansion ." I said conjuring a  disciplined smile .

"Oh thank you dear .I would love that .Did the artifacts and these paintings-" she gestured to the walls "- come along with the mansion ."
