Patience

33. Home

I saunter sleepily towards the elevator while stumbling every now and them. I am way too sleepy still. Though I almost slept throughout the whole drive comfortably in my car, while Jason drove.

I could buy cars worth million dollers and I would still hate driving. Ughhhh.

But I am not telling Hardin that. Nope.

I plan on occupying the room I stayed in last time. I could go into Hardin's but I don't want to assume too much while he is still not here. I will crash in that room right now,and move into his room later when he arrives. That is if he wants.

Or may be not. Until he gives me an explanation on why I had to come here alone.

"Welcome back Tessa!!" I jump awake from the sleepy state the moment I step inside the penthouse..

I find Jenna excitedly looking at me then at Jason, while they exchange few glances keeping their couple talk discreet for my sake. This is probably the first time I saw them face to face. I pity these two souls who has to endure Hardin's shenanigans.

" Hi Jennaa.... " I move ahead to give her a hug....." I am glad to be back too"

I notice Jason taking my bag inside in my peripheral view. .

" Jason, keep that in the room I last stayed in..." I yell while settling on the couch of the living room.

Jason nods and dissapears.

Jenna looks at me and Jason shifting her view rapidly probably confused because of my irritated stance.

" You ok?" She asks passing me a glass of water.

" Yeah.... " I huff and drink it all. But she keeps on looking.... So I give her a little glimpse of the reason why I am irritated. " I am just annoyed, he was supposed to come with me here, together. Now he is not even picking up the phone... He just dissapears. It's hard to keep up you know. Just tell me if he is actually bipolar... "
I ask and lean back on the sofa and look up at the beautiful ceiling. Gold and black complementing each other so well.

A few seconds pass before Jenna doesn't respond. So I look at her and surprisingly I find her head cast down low, looking at the lap, while fidgeting with her finger.

" Jenna? " I ask, curious at her facial expression. "What happened?"

She looks up. And I know she is battling with herself whether she wants to have this conversation with me. With the look on her face I know she is judging her option of whether it would be right on her part to say.
" He will come along Tessa, he is probably having a hard time to adjust to all this.. " she says giving in..

My heart sinks a little. Is it really that tough for him to be with me? Is it that exhausting???

I knew he has never been in a relationship but am I beginning to become a burden?

If it's that, then he will get tired of me soon.

" It's the first time he is spending tomorrow with someone other than himself, it's not easy him. " she says suddenly while breaking my mental monologue where I was sinking with every passing moment. But her comment takes me aback and peaking my curiosity.

" Tommorow?" I ask.

" Yes, normally he spends his birthday alone, but I am gl-" Jenna says just above whisper but I cut off ...

" BIRTHDAY TOMMOROW ????!!!!!" I shreik.

Jenna blinks a few times as she realizes that I am oblivious to that fact,"He did not say?
