Still in a flashback
Meghan Pov.
I wondered how I was going to cope with this situation. Jeff shown me right from the first moment that he wanted nothing to do with me. I can understand where he is coming from. No one can easily allow a stranger to come and live with them out of the blue. And more so when that person has nothing or anybody in life. I clearly understand where he is coming from.
It is a week since I came here. And guess what, I have not seen Jeff once. I at first wondered where he had gone Did he perhaps get out of this house so as not to see me ? Don't be ridiculous, my subconscious says rolling her eyes at me . And I also thought that could not be true since he is the owner of the house. If he didn't want to see me than he could do just one thing...to get rif of me by sending me out of the house.
I late came to find out that he had con for a trip ...but guess what, I came to find out this just few hours before his return. My heart beat even faster at the thought of that. I am not used of being sacred of people but Jeff intimidates me even though I have not known him for a long time.
The last week has been great having only Ethan around. His company has some how made me reduce the pain of losing both of my parents as well as all the inheritance that was met for me. I was an optimistic person who always believed that things could become better with time. Having a positive mind is good thing and when you are some one who has it, then you will not have any trouble with life.
We are interrupted by the ringing of the door bell. We were busy with Ethan arguing over nothing. This is what we have become. Sometimes I feel like he is more of a big brother to me. Don't take me wrong, I have tried and tried to love him in a way that he wants but I just get this brotherly bond coming up.
Last Wednesday we had a date where I almost felt to kiss him it just didn't feel okay for me. You k ow you might be calling me an amateur but that is me.
"Calm down " Ethan tells me since we know who is surely knocking at the door. Ethan has the last free days made fun of me by the way was conducting near his elder brother. I know he found out that I was sacred of even looking at him.
He even at one time told me that sometimes some people feel intimidated near others because they are falling in love with them..I know that is not true because I am with him and Jeff a gut who cannot fall for a girl like me. He is the whole package for any girl but not those as low as me. I know I am a beautiful girl..but most importantly, a no body .
Ethan stands heading to door and shortly I hear happiness between. That us how they are. Sometimes I feel jealous by how they are close to each other. Then he comes in. I at first make myself occupied on my phone until I feel a strong Cologne just next to me which prompts me to look up my eyes meeting the blue ones.
"Hey " I manage to say though it comes out as a whisper. He has that smirk on his lips. What is him with the continuous smirking. Does he think it impresses me the smallest bit.
"Good evening " I say losing it and guess what, he is just looking at me not saying anything. I am about to say something else when Ethan comes up.
"Damn it Jeff, I have always told you to stop teasing my girl friend " he says as he comes to sit next to me folding his hand and pulling me into his chest. At least I feel a bit comfortable.
"What have I done ?" Jeff asks innocently like he doesn't know what they mean. This guy is really a total jerk.
"I was just inspecting in all those that come to my house " he adds. Really. What does he thing he is . Was it my intention that my parents died and I ended up all needy and in this state. But then what can I do. I just have to be more patient until I get a small job that will enable me rent even if a single room apartment. By that I will be away from this jerk. But then before that, I have to be patient.
"Where are you going ?" Ethan asks me as I pull away from him standing up.
"Just need to get something to drink for you brother " I say.I have just thought about that now.
"Damn it , he can do it himself " Ethan says and I can see that he is damn serious but he cannot change my mind
"From today on word I will do the house work here as a way of thanking you both for taking me in" I say finally.
"That is not your work, you are my girl friend " he says and adds "not a house mind "
"Let her go to do it " Jeff who has been quiet from the time he got in finally says.
"What is she even doing here. Nothing is for free here " he adds. I don't wait for what comes next but just head to the kitchen to get the juice for him.
I doubt if I was going to be able to tolerate him for long . But what was I to do , he was the head of this house. Everything in the house was his and so he had the right to do what he wanted and even behave any how he wanted.
