Some secluded part of England

Jennie POV

"Hello beautiful."

From my daily planner,my eyes went to the guy standing infront of me. He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I was caught suprised but I decided to let it pass.

"This is for you, different varieties without the roses, just like what you prefer." He's smiling while handing me a bouquet of flowers, different kinds indeed. I always love to received flowers but roses is another thing for it only brings back memories from my forgotten  past.

"Thanks" I murmured.

He smile and nodded.

"And this are for the kids." He said and put a big box of toy in my desk.

"You're spoiling them too much--"

"Oh, come on babe, this is nothing compared to all the joys they're giving me, but I know how much they wanted to have this Xbox. You even told me they're bugging you to buy one, remember?"

"Which I do not indugled." I snap.

"Babe, this is just a toy, you been a kid before you know the feeling right?"

I sigh." I'm sorry, I'm just tired, I guess."

"Yeah, I know you are." He walk to me and gentle massage my shoulders. It feels good specially when you are tired, I felt my nerves started to relax.

"Feeling better?" I heard he asked.

"Yeah.." I respond. I closed my eyes but I quickly opened when her image started to flash in my mind.

"No, stop." I harshly removed his hands that was about to touched my breast.

I stood up and turned to him. I know he got shocked on my reaction.

"I'm sorry." I said apologetically.

I saw a glimpse of frustration in his eyes but it vanished quickly as if it never happened. Then he smile again.

"I understand." He answered and shrugged his shoulder.

He always said that and now I'm starting to feel guilty. He is nothing but good to me and I'm such a heartless bitch for always turning him down.

"No. I know it's not cool and--"

"You know what's cool? Let's go out of town this weekend." He said quickly.

"But--"

"Jennie, come on, the kids needed to breath some fresh air. Especially Leo, he badly needed it, remember?"

I took a deep breath then nod.

"That's my girl." He said and smiled widely.
