Psycho love - S01 E05

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

How’s it that he is able to comport himself and behave in his usual manner as if nothing has ever happened between us?!

While I find it hard to place the plates on the table when am serving dinner, he was even the hero that caught the plate when it slid off my hand.

“Thanks” I mumbled and went back into the kitchen to bring water.

What is wrong with me? He is my cousin for crying out loud and this feelings….this strange feeling is driving me nuts!

“Jenny! We are eating already, where’s the water?!” My aunt’s voice snapped me out of my mystery.

“I’m coming!” I replied and quickly opened the freezer to bring out two bottles of water.

“Aunty Jen! Can you please feed me, am sick and my hands are shaking, see…it can’t even hold a spoon properly!” Nancy whined when I entered the dining room.

“Hey! When did you become so sick that you can’t hold a spoon, common eat or get out if you aren’t hungry!” Chris didn’t know how to sooth a child at all.

“Don’t shout at my baby like that, come honey, let mummy feed you… your aunt needs to eat too” My aunt said carrying her onto her laps.

“Jenny, are you okay?” My uncle asked noticing my actual silent. Off course they know how playful I am always where Nancy is concerned but today……

“Am okay, I just don’t feel like eating… I…” I trailed off and forced a smile to my lips so they won’t query me further.

“If you don’t like this food, you can go make another one, this is your home too. Don’t feel …..”

“No! No!! Uncle, I’m really okay. Yeah! I just don’t feel hungry and that’s probably because I ate earlier this evening” I said quickly rolling my eyes.

Everyone else was busy eating comfortably, Nancy on her mother’s laps eating with giggles and kisses while her mother played along with her.

Chris, well…his spoon is dancing harmoniously on his plate and he is munching on the food in his mouth, whatever is going through his mind now….

“Okay, if you say so, just feel free to tell me if you have any…. problem, you know” he shrugged and used the napkin to clean his mouth.

He pulled away from the table and stood up “the meal is awesome Jenny, thanks” He exclaimed and went inside.

“I…Aunt, I will be… inside, call me when you and your darling are done eating so I will come clear the table” I said playfully and my Aunt relieved me.

“Don’t worry Jenny, me and my honey pie will do that, go get some rest. Thanks for a wonderful dinner”

She said exactly what I wanted to hear and I didn’t waste time to get myself inside.

I locked myself inside my room and turned off the light, maybe I will force some sleep into my eyes and forget everything that happened earlier.

Oh how stupid I am! It’s 12:39 and I am busy counting the seconds and waiting for a tap on my door instead of going to a goddamn sleep!!.

I turned over and over on my bed and the sleep was nowhere to be found, how will sleep come while everything in me yawns for the guy next door.

I see him when I close my eyes, I perceive him when I breath and I feel his hands on me when I remember us on his bed and in the parlour.

I think I will need a mug of tea to clear my head and try going to sleep all over again, yes! That’s a great idea.

I should remember that he is still my cousin and he said that to me, I should better get off it and be a good girl.

But how will I do that? How will Jennifer be a good girl while he’s like poison, he slowly moves into my system and breaks all my walls.

I jumped out of bed and slipped into the kitchen, careful not to awake people who are busy enjoying the night.

I made my milk safely and peacefully, I took a sip and turned to walk back to my bedroom in the same way I came only to pour my hard made tea on a bare chest.

“Eeeew! Why didn’t you turn the lights on?” He winced in pain and went to turn the light on.

“Why do you have to choose the wrong time to make entry, you are going to make another tea for me” I snorted frowning.

Why am I even angry? I am the one who was making tea in the dark as if am the only person that lives in the house.

And I just poured hot tea on him, who needs to be blamed? No! It isn’t me, he shouldn’t have come here, who invited him?

“Really now?! You are being serious? No problem, I will make you another tea and you will also have to say sorry for the hot tea” he emphasized.

“I’m not apologizing because this isn’t my fault! You are the one who barged into this kitchen, I don’t remember inviting you here!!” I scoffed.

“Hello young lady!” He waved a hand to my face as if to wake me up from my slumber “the last time I checked, no one needs an invitation to enter this kitchen!”

“A kitchen belongs to women! How many times have you seen your dad come in here, that…..”

“Calm down Jen, you are shouting and you wouldn’t want to wake everyone up” he covered my mouth with his hand making me swallow my words.

“No one intends to do that, just make my tea for me and there will be peace except you don’t want to sleep this night” I managed slapping his hand off my mouth.

“Are you still angry with me?” He asked making to touch me again but I turned quickly and went to wash the mug I had used to make tea.

Tea that I didn’t drink because of his sudden entrance and he is here pretending to care, does he take me for granted?

“Jenny?” He came closer to me and when I felt his hand on my shoulder, I turned sharply and pushed him away.

“Please! Don’t touch me”

I know he would be thinking I didn’t want him to touch me because I’m angry with him. Oh yes! I am very angry with him and myself too for not being able to control myself.

But, I don’t want his touch because I don’t trust myself when he’s being so close, does his heart also race the same way mine does?

“Jennifer, am sorry if I hurt you earlier. The truth is….. this whole thing feels so strange to me, I don’t… I don’t understand what am feeling inside… it’s…God! How do I put it?”

He walked around the kitchen restlessly and I could see his sad face as I stood with my back against the wall, I wound my hands around me to avoid reaching out to soothe him.

“It’s…. really strange” I sighed gazing at his back now, he was busy making another tea as I had requested.

“You see, it would have been better if we aren’t related, I mean, we … could have easily….” He threw a glance at me “I don’t think I will fight this anymore”

“Fight what?” I asked dumbly knowing exactly what he’s talking about.

He came to me and I didn’t move away this time, he closed the space between us as my was still against the wall, his hand cupped my face and he planted a kiss on my lips.

“This… whatever it is between us” he whispered and deepened the kiss………
