Hearts are strange

Chapter 5

I woke up early from a tiresome sleep, and with a heavy head. I glanced at the clock, it was 4:00 AM. Too early for a Sunday morning to start for me. I got off my bed and went downstairs to brush my teeth. I came back to my room, tired and bored. I walked up to the balcony, and sat on a stool. I took out my phone and logged in to Instagram, in order to check if anyone was awake. Celeste, Jane and Claude were still up. Celeste was perhaps attending a mid night car show. She was a car freak, just like me. Claude and Jane were love birds, and so were busy making virtual love perhaps! I laughed at the thought. Our fitness freak Augustine was awake too, perhaps doing Burpees in the gym.ci scrolled down a little more, just to find Jennifer online. I don't know why, but I pissed of seeing that. Maybe she was busy with some other boy. This thought made my heart sink even more. I ebbed away the thought. Jennifer was not like that. She never flirted with random guys just to pass the time. I never knew why I was so much affected by her. I just couldn't stand guys drooling over her. That perhaps made me the most stupid cum possessive ex.

I started scrolling my newsfeed, in search of some interesting distraction. Soon I found something that made my heart sink even more. Jennifer had posted a picture with.... Mark! I became seriously sad and angry. Mark was the one who had always tried hell and heaven to break my relationship with Jennifer, and she was with that guy. I was just broken into pieces maybe. Mark never really loved anyone, he just couldn't keep it in his pants. He was just a hot guy, who loved to intimidate girls. But Jennifer wasn't a girl who'd easily be intimidated by anyone. But her being with Mark made my heart sink.

I scrolled further and saw another post, where she was with Celeste. Beast like muscle cars made up the background. The posts had been updated just some minutes ago, so it was clear that Celeste was there with Jennifer. Perhaps, all of them three were together in a car show. Jennifer and Mark.... My heart kept sinking.

I called Celeste out of frustration.

"Not asleep bro?" She asked. She wasn't surprised at me being awake at that hour.

"Just woke up. Enjoying?" I asked.

"Hell yeah!" Came the reply.

"And what the hell is Mark doing with Jennifer?" I asked in an angry tone. It was a stupid question though.

There was a moment's silence, after which she spoke up.

"Jennifer is not with Mark, don't have such thoughts too. Come on Joe! Don't be a child! Jennifer can't stand that jerk. Yeah though the jerk is super hot." Celeste said and giggled like a teenage girl.

"Not funny at all." I said and rolled my eyes. Could I look more stupid?

"Jennifer came here with me, and she is with me too. Don't worry bro." She said.

"I'm sorry for being stupid Celeste. I'm too naive at times." I said apologetically. Being insecure about one's ex was too much of stupidity.

"It's okay Joe. You still care, and that's fact. Moreover, it's cute." She said and giggled again.

"Oh come on!" I said and laughed.

"Hey why don't you come here too!? The classics are awesome today!" She shouted with excitement.

"Some other time Celeste. Sorry and thank you."

"Oh it's okay bro. Feel blessed you're not a year older." She said and seemingly smirked.

"Bye." I said .
