Chapter 93 - Lover Turned Kidnapper

For a few more seconds, Javier was totally lost.

The girl was sitting on the bench in the last corner of the room.

Her attention was towards the lecture, not even knowing that someone was staring at her with such an intense look.

His gaze kept on lingering on her face. Due to the distance and many students in between, it was too hard for him to see her too clearly.

But his eyes caught the glimpse of slightest features and her well-defined face. 'So she is the one…' 

"Brother, she is beautiful, right,'' his friend whispered into his ears, with a wicked smile on his face.

Javier passed him a straight look, ignoring the smile and the tease in his eyes

For a few minutes, his eyes swept across her face, not tearing away from her small figure. 

Noting how she scratched her head if she fails to solve any question or raises her hand whenever the teacher asks any question in the class.

'She must be… really serious about studies.' As an alarming fact, she is totally harmless to him.

He need not be wary of her and understood the same very clearly.

But at the same time, his eyes seized her mixed expressions in just a mere minute.

Seeing that his friends were still eyeing her as if she was their prey, his eyes turned slightly cold.

"Alright, I find her cute but please, we are in a corridor and in front of her class. Keep some decency brother." He can't help but say to his friend, to bring them out of the daze in which they were.

Javier turned around and started making his way to his class, without caring to answer back to his friends.

"Hey, dude!! Listen, we didn't mean that! Javier!" his friends yelled from behind but his steps weren't seeing the back step.

His face was straight, moving in the direction of his class.

But the face was printed in his mind already. Who would have predicted that such a small meet, will turn too big and make him do things out of control!

*Past ends* 

His face was covered with sweet smiles while recalling all the happy moments.

For the very first time, he visited the sweet girl, with her large ponytail in her class.

No one expected and caught him when he secretly took the photograph of the gurl without anyone's knowledge at all.

'How fast things run.. once I was your lover and now, your kidnapper. Such a strange thing already..'

It was such an incident that can never be erased through his mind

His first time meeting her, through the wide distance and peaking through the window was fresh as if the entire episode took place yesterday.

Putting back the frame in the drawer, Javier was satisfied with whatever he had done until now.

At the last, he too stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Lifting his eyes, the view that came in front of him was Jennifer, sitting on the couch while trying to pretend that she was asleep.

Her idea to fool him failed instantly when he saw how her hand kept on moving from time to time. 'How big a liar is she..' 

He had no such wish to disturb her or to make her feel ashamed, so he finally made his way inside the kitchen to make some light dinner for them.

As his mood lifted while recalling all the past memories, he made the entire dinner while humming a song.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was in a tense condition.

With the change in events, she wasn't able to express the mixed sentiments in her heart. Uncertainty crept sadly to her, unsure if he was still angry with her or not?

'But he smiled! I saw through one of my eyes that he smiled when he came out.. has his mood improved?' Jennifer beamed to go forward and ask but her courage doesn't support her either.

She just wanted to sleep, not trying to gain his attention towards herself with the possibility that will ruin everything.

As the time kept on passing, Jennifer was on the verge of falling asleep.

She can feel whatever she consumed earlier was hitting her up. Dizziness and sleepiness started spreading in her entire body and when her eyelids were getting heavy, she felt a large hand touching her shoulders.

"Get up. eat something then you can sleep in the room." Javier's magical voice made her open her eyelids and look at him with foreign expressions. Understanding her surroundings she slightly nodded her head and took the bowl from his hand.

"Thank you.." making space for him, she motioned him to sit beside her where they both started eating food.

There was deep silence since Javier didn't turn on the television as well.

The thickness in the environment was at its peak with awkwardness building up with each second. At this time, Jennifer was eating but swallowing each bite was becoming hard.

So, finally breaking the silence with her words, "Javier, you must be aware that I went to the museum with Ellen, right?"

"Hmm…. I know."

"So…" She stumbled in the middle to take a peek at his expressions and then spoke, "Just asking, if you… are like close with your her family members or not?" Her consciousness was highly alerted.

But Javier didn't flicker away anymore.

He kept a straight face and without changing his expressions he replied back, "I'm close to some, like my brother in my family but not all."

Javier's answer made her think twice about everything. Is that so? The brother whose picture she saw alongside him and his mother?

"Or just be direct if you wish to know about anything.." He later on added, which somehow made Jennifer a little bit courageous.

Biting her lip, Jennifer took another bite of her food and finally asked, "I meant… your father and stepmother.."
