JENNIE'S FIRST LOVE

Chapter Thirteen

I woke up early. Jennie was often the first to wake up to cook breakfast but now I was the first. When I came out of my room I looked at Jennie's bedroom door. I hope she doesn't feel bad towards me anymore.

I have already started cooking breakfast. Her door opened and I turned around. We made an eye contact and we stared at each other for a long time before she looked down.

"Do you want to eat?" I asked. She did not answer, as if she had heard nothing. She took coffee from the cupboard.

"I'm done boiling your hot water." I said. She still ignored me and took the kettle. She put the hot water in her cup and brewed herself a coffee. She sat down at the table and drank the coffee.

"Are you hungry already? The food is already cooked." Still nothing. It was as if I was talking to the wind. She didn't even spare me a glance.

"Won't you really talk to me?" I sighed. She's giving me the silent treatment and it's killing me.

"Alright, that will make you salivate." I tried joking. But it's not effective. I took a plate and scooped up some food for her and laid the plate in front of her.

"Uh okay, if you don't want to talk to me, let's just eat." Even the food I served her, she ignored. I just ate because I might be late for work and took a quick shower.

"Jennie, I'm leaving." I say goodbye to her.

She used to take me to the door but now nothing. I'm having a hard time with this. I immediately miss her sassiness. I miss the way she greets me good morning when I leave the room and she will tell me what she dreamed while we were eating and then she keep on reminding me that I should be careful when driving before I leave the apartment. It's just only a few minutes when she ignored me and I was already having a hard time. I didn't mean to hurt her. That was for her too. Maybe when she finds the person for her she will thank me one day for rejecting her. It was as if the blade was cutting my chest when I thought of that. What if she finds someone else? How about me?

Our last client has left and the photo studio has closed. I was packing and getting ready to go home. It still lingers in my mind that Jennie is sulking at me.

"Alight, labs. I'm on my way home. I love you." I heard Bambam, the photo editor say. He was probably talking to his girlfriend. He hung up the phone afterwards.

"Bambam." I called him. He turned to me.

"Oh, hey Lis. What's the problem?" He asked.

"How to win a woman's heart?" I asked. I even wonder why that question entered my mind.

Bambam smiled. "Woah! You're growing up dude." I frowned and was a little disgusted. Ugh! "Just forget what I said."

I was about to turn my back when he suddenly put his arm on my shoulder.

"First of all, of course you have to give the person you are planning to court with a flowers and chocolates. Then, you will take her out, you will take her everywhere. Those are the things the woman wants."

"Are you seeing someone? I thought you're not into relationships? Who is the lucky woman who won your heart?" K Lu entered the conversation, she is the owner of this photo studio. I removed Bambam's arm that was on my shoulder.

"Nothing. I was just wondering how Bambam made his girlfriend say yes to him. Now I know, he's just being silly."

"Asshole." Bambam said and K Lu just laughed.
