My Arrogant Boss

Chapter Thirty-Seven

JENNIE

The ride to the hotel is in a completed silence as I give all my attention to the road because obviously, I don't know how to confront her without wanting to hug her or maybe hit her for not remembering me. But, most of all is I miss her. So fucking much.

Suddenly, I feel a hand on mine. The warmth spreads over me, but I don't turn around because I am afraid that this is just one of my dreams that I have almost every night in these three years.

People say time flies, but I am sure it's not for anyone who misses someone so much. I close my eyes, wanting her to release my hand or hold me for the rest of my life. I want her to tell me that she loves me. She's just joking with me.

The realization hits me when she squeezes my hand. "Jennie, can you answer me a question?" She utters calmly.

I am sure I enjoy the time we are together now—but not whatever question she is gonna ask for sure.

I nod eventually.

"Are we closed before?" She asks, making my blood boils for no reason.

"Why?" I glance at our hands, then I take my hand from her, and if I believed that my eyes are magic, I would say I literally see sadness in hers.

"Nothing, I just wanna ask." She focuses on the road, shifting uncomfortably.

After a while, I decide I want to tell her a good with a not-really-good ending story to her. "Two people hate each other at first sight," I say, taking a glimpse of her looking at my way, but I don't care, and I continue my story.

"They hate each other so much because both of them are a little stubborn and sarcastic towards one another until they collide. They get to know each other's stories, background, also some dark sides." I smile at the memories of us arguing at nonsense.

"And?" She asks, obviously interested in my story. Our story.

"They love each other so much, and-" I sob.

She hesitantly holds my hand again, but this time I won't take it away, enjoying her warm skin.

"They broke up."

"They stopped loving each other?" She frowns.

"No, they love each other so much, but they could not be together. The storm came, getting one of them away, letting the other suffers from the pain." I can't hold it anymore; my tears fall down like a waterfall. Lisa panics and stops her car to the side of the road.

Undoing her seatbelt, she hugs me, and I? I fling to her arms after unfastening mine, which I am sure catches her off guard. But, I shrug it off.

"If they love each other so much, I think one day the storm will bring them back together." She says as I look at her hopefully.

"Really?"

She laughs softly as she wipes my tears away, "Jennie, I don't know if we were closed before or not, but I am sure as hell not like the way you cry in front of me. And, to answer your question, I am certain that true love will make them together."

"By the way, where did you get this story from? Is it end?" I love the way she furrows her brows in confusion.

"Yeah, I don't know."

"You are funny." She grins. "But I will end it for you," She turns to a serious expression and continues the story to a fucking happy ending like a fairy tale, which makes me thrill and sad at the same time. I mean who continues her story without knowing that is hers?
