Chapter 42


    " Whatever " Jenny snorted and stared nkly into space.


    " Go on please " Ca whined


    Jenny gave her a triumph smirk and continued " I felt his face looked familiar but I couldn''t


    remember where I had seen him before. So at your wedding,... "


    Ca''s eyes widened " He was at our wedding?! Who exactly is he?! "


    " I got to knowter that he was Alexander Hamilton " Jenny sighed.


    Ca''s eyes went so huge that they almost popped out of their sockets " Alex is the guy you like?! "


    " I didn''t say I like him, dummy " Jenny corrected.


    " But you said you couldn''t stop thinking about him! " Ca spread out her arms for emphasis.


    " I didn''t mean it the way it sounded! " Jenny groaned out in frustration.


    " Yeah sure " Ca teased andughed.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    " So the man in question is Alexander? Liam''s best friend? Wow this is getting interesting " She


    mused out loud, with a smile ying at the tips of her lips.


    Jenny rolled her eyes " You look happy, it''s weird, you know? "


    Caughed " I do? Maybe it''s because there the possibility that you might end up with him "


    Jenny''s eyes widened in horror " I don''t even know him, Jenny! And I don''t recollect telling you I


    wanted a guy in my life, I''m perfectly okay "


    " Are you really? " Ca asked rhetorically but Jenny answered her anyway.


    " Yeah I''m okay with my life as it is " Jenny smiled.


    Ca leaned forward " So tell me more, did you two get to talk at the wedding? "


    " Yup " Jenny replied, popping the ''p''. She avoided Ca''s eyes totally and let her gaze rest on


    something else.


    Ca stared at Jenny for a minute and sensed something suspicious. She tilted her chin up so they


    could maintain eye contact.


    " Something happened between you two, right? Your rosy cheeks is telling me something, I just


    can''t figure out what it is so you must tell me " Ca said firmly, leaving no protest on the side of


    Jenny.


    Jenny sighed, giving in to her friend''s curiosity " As a matter of fact, yes, something did happen


    between us "


    Ca gave her a reassuring smile " It''s fine, cupcake, just be careful. Alex is rumored to be a


    yboy "


    Jenny pinned Ca with her sharp gaze " By telling me, if you''re implying that I would fall for his


    charms, then you''re wrong. I don''t wanna go down the lovene for now so you don''t have to worry


    about a thing because I''ll be fine "


    " You can never tell what the future has in store for you, Jenny. Just be careful, Alex is as charming


    as fuck " Ca said with augh.


    Jenny joined her in theughter " I''ll be fine baby, besides he hasn''t shown any interest in me yet,


    so there''s nothing to be worried about "


    Ca hummed in reply " With guys, you never know with ''em, you''re beautiful so there''s no way


    Alex could have overlooked that "


    Jenny blushed furiously " Oh stop making feel embarrassed! "


    Ca raised her eyebrows " Embarrassed, how? "


    They talkedte into the night until One of Liam''s drivers, Ben who brought her, came to meet


    them.


    " Excuse me ma''am? " He called her attention politely.


    " Yes Ben? " She replied, smiling warmly.


    " I just wanted to tell you that it''ste, the boss will be worried "


    Jenny gave her a lopsided smile, it was obvious that she was drunk. They had switched from juice


    drinks to Beer " Oh, I forgot you''re married and have to go home into the waiting arms of your


    husband, I miss the good ''ol times, don''t you? "


    Ca smiled wistfully " I do very much "


    " But now you''re married, you have your own family to look after now " Jenny drawled. Her voice


    had taken on a sleepy tone.


    Ca rocked back and forth on her chair and nodded " I know, but I miss the old me nevertheless "


    " We can still do all of those things, you know " She suggested but Jenny shook her head.


    " Nahh, wouldn''t want Liam to bite my ears off now, would I? "


    " Brat! " Ca said andughed.


    " Okay I''m off " She added, getting up on her feet.


    Jenny tried to stand too but was having difficulty on her part " Ugh, I don''t think I''ll be able to see


    you off this way. You know...I... "


    Ca bursted into another fit ofughter " Hold your breathdy, I can manage perfectly fine on my


    own, besides I have Ben here with me " She said lightly, extending a hand in his direction while he


    looked away quickly, his face flushed.


    " Okay... Okay, take care huh? I... Love... Y... you " Jenny struggled with the words as the alcoholic


    drink had started to take effect on her already.


    " I love you more pumpkin " Ca replied softly and hugged her, but not without giving her a wet


    peck on her cheeks.


    " Ew, that''s gross and yucky! " Jenny shouted but luckily for them, most of the customers had left.


    Ca rolled her eyes " And I think you are " Sheughed and started walking out of the restaurant,


    giving Jenny a small wave with Ben trailing behind her.


    He preceded her to the car and got the door open. Ca slid in with a weary sigh and closed her


    eyes. Her back was pressed against the soft leather and she loved every feeling offort it


    provided. This luxurious life wouldn''t go on forever, she knew that, so she should make the most of


    it while she can.


    " Boss called me a while ago " Ben, in his deep baritone voice, broke into her thoughts. He nced


    at her from the rearview mirror when she didn''t respond immediately.


    " Oh, did he? " She replied, not caring one bit that he might actually be worried about her or angry


    that she went out without his prior notice.
