Chapter 25: chapter 25

Eleanor's POV, Unbelievable that Kylen would be such a fun company!The way we grooved and enjoyed. Well, I had taken two three shots and it had hiked my energy.We were out walking in fresh air when we bumped into my past. Instantly, my happiness was cut short.She had so much of anger stored in for me. And it actually didn't bother me, this time. Though her words were arrowed at my heart, I just let her yap. Kylen wanted to stop her, but I wanted the venom to clear up. "Who was she?", Kylen asked me again.Seriously? Shawn was in depression?I huffed and cursed myself for trying to believe it! I continued to stride silently. "Nor!""Jennifer.", I murmered with my hands tugged in the pockets of my long coat.Kylen caught me by my arm, turning me around.His eyebrow being arched waiting for me to answer."Fine. Jenny as in Jennifer is Shawn's half sister. They share their mother, but have different fathers.""Hmm. I kinda thought she was his new girlfriend and your ex-bestie kinda like that.", Kylen seemed to be delighted by his own words.I gave him a look, "Ridiculous.""Don't judge me. I love watching series. So probably it's a side effect.", he rubbed the back of his head."Both of them used to have rivalry for each other. They despised each other to the core.""Oh. You patched them up. Didn't you?"I nodded, "I got these half siblings together, made them trust each other."Jenny was a junior to me in school. We worked in an art club together and whenever Shawn saw me with Jenny he used to storm out, he hated her that much.Kylen dropped another question, "Were you and Jenny besties?""No!", I was quick, "Nothing like that. She had an attitude issue.""I saw that.", Kylen commented."Yeah, well. On my birthday, the gift I asked from Shawn was to try bonding with Jenny. Their mother was tired both of them. And their dads were sad too. Like out of all those complications, I made Shawn to spend time with Jenny. She opposed and I warned her that I will get her out of that art club she loved."Kylen laughed."Soon, they saw few things in common from playing games to cooking. They won cooking competition together."I sighed, "This is how they bonded. And today both of them loathe me. Atleast they are still a team."Kylen and I walked back to home.Sam, Kat and Rick all of them were in the pub."You sure that you're okay?""I'm!""Alright. It was indeed a great evening. Get some sleep.", he said.Kylen took a leave and I switched on TV.I don't want Kylen to be worried of me. My past can haunt me anytime and it doesn't mean that I'll drag my people into it.It was almost 2AM when Kat called me."Yo.""Is still Kylen with you darling?""No.", I yawned, "Why?""Open the door then."I moved lazily towards the door and opened it.She drunk-walked inside and fell on my couch.Don't worry, she is fine."Where is Rick?""He's asleep at home."I sat next to her."Oh. Rick and I did it in the washroom.", she covered her crimson face with cushions.My eyes widened, "Oooooh. You are glowing."I tickled her as both of us giggled."I'm happy for you Kat!""Leave mine, let's talk about yours.""Mine?-""Shut up! I saw you having those lovey dovey moments with Kylen there. Though you guys weren't dancing like a couple but there were sparks!", she played with my hair."Sparks, fireblasts and what else did you see dear?", I smiled."Hmm. How did you find Sam? Tell me what and all happened after you went with Mr. Hottie."The scene in flight and the fountain replayed in my mind.Kat snapped her fingers, "Ma'am."I was smiling like a fool.Kat squeezed her face, "Omg. A lot has happened! Did you guys kiss? Or made out? Or-""NOOOOO!"I shared everything to her gradually and she squealed like a toddler."Sam should go missing again.", she stretched her arms, winking at me."Kattsy!""By the way Sam was still having fun there, when Rick and I got out.""Yep, he's like that. He just got over his ex."It was 6 in the morning already."I'll get back to Rickyyy, then.""Early morning workout? On the bed maybe?", I winked at her.Kat slipped down from couch, hearing it.Gosh! "You never know.", she grinned before leaving.I needed caffeine urgently as I had no sleep and it was morning. Luckily a Sunday morning."Let me have a cup of coffee and doze off till noon or evening!", I said aloud.While pouring it to my mug, I was still vibing to yesterday's song.And in the process the kettle slipped, letting coffee fall over my tidy slab."No.", I grabbed a cloth.Wiping it hurriedly I saw my top stained.No way. My baby pink top! My beloved precious one!I cried seeing my messy Sunday. This is not a good start.I ran to clean my tee. Rubbing it with the detergent, I switched on washing machine."Buddy, please make the stain disappear.", I kissed the machine.Exiting the laundary space, I saw him. I saw him inside my house!"Aaah!", I screamed covering my chest.I was in a demi bra and a mini shorts! Quite aware that they weren't enough to cover my curves."What are you doing here? And how did you break into my home?"Kylen pinched the tip of his nose, drifting his gaze."Um. The door was- unlocked-. I-I knocked the door as well-", he was finding it difficult to speak."And?"His eyes were back on me, "The bell wasn't working either. There was no response and I got inside worriedly.""Oh. I must have forgotten to lock it after Kat left.", I passed a guilty broken smile.Kylen frowned at me, "You are an irresponsible woman living alone. No wonder if you get kidnapped again by all yourself!""Excuse me? Kattsy just left a while ago!"I snorted, holding my waist, "And it's not like you haven't seen any woman in bikini at all! LA people and their obsession in flaunting their bodies in beaches!""You aren't in a bikini.", he smirked."I know! That's not my point-"I hadn't seen him pacing towards me until his tall figure stood ahead of me.One more step and I'm dead. Great news is, my body wasn't responding to my instructions anymore. I couldn't even move my feet backwards.He literally leaned in while I froze.My heart was throbbing like a rabit on a mission to moon.His hand went behind while I looked into his raven black orbs.Showing me a pair of keys, he increased the gap between us, mercily. Thank goodness."Sam had left his keys here on this almari.""Oh.", my voice barely left my mouth while his unflinching gaze sent sparks along my spine.Kylen raised a brow, "Would you keep talking if a stranger showed up instead of me?""Nope. I would-", I threw my arm to attack him but instead got myself trapped inside his arms. He was quick!My back resting on his frontile. His one arm wrapped across my shoulders and other one coiled around my exposed waist.I shut my eyes as his cold palms continued fastening me. Whispering into my ears, "Never let the intruder get this closer to you.", his hot breath stroke the base of my neck.
