Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

Are you kidding me!!!

” Excuse me?”

” Hmm?”

” Can you move away please?”

Vincent shifted more closely and I flinched backing little but there was no space left, my heart hammering madly against my chest, I bet he could hear it too.

” Why should I ? Are you so nervous?” Vincent frowned looking at me mockingly. I bet he was laughing internally.

I shuddered, feeling goosebumps all over my skin ” I’m not…… but are…… aren’t you acting all cheesy now? We aren’t couples though……”

” Cheesy? I’m not at being cheesy at all. I’m being alert when and where Elora would pop up in front of us. If she catches us fighting like cat and dog it will be only me who will suffer though.”

” If my life goes miserable because of her then I will take you to the trip to hell with me, you clearly know what I’m talking about, so you better act it out correctly.”

I went pale hearing his words, of course he does everything because of Elora. Why would he do it voluntarily anyway.

” Yeah right……” I whispered yelled talking to myself.

” What? I’m not behaving indecently with you or asking you do anything inappropriate am I ? I’m personally not interested in you or any intention of hooking up with you. It will never happen, not even my dreams……. this is all selfish acts of mine so drop it off.”

His face with a blank expression breaking me unknowingly. He knew exactly how he’d made me feel, and he was doing this on purpose. I suppressed my anger and hurt raising in me by his words and looked away.

” If you aren’t interested then why did you help me in the university……” I whispered out way too lowly.

” Because you are temporarily under my responsibility. I want you to be alive, fit and fine atleast till Elora leaves…… I know they will get you back again making you target throughout your studies…… I had to do it, it’s nothing special……”

” It’s all because you are of my use, don’t think anything wierd and complicate it. Nothing’s changed……”

Haaaah! How Rude!!!

Motherf***er…… Eva lover…….

Where do I fit in his life anyway, it’s always her and only her…… and I’m just a punching bag for him to take all his frustration on me……

I’M LEAST INTERESTED INTO HIM TOO!!!!!!

I faced opposite of him, leaning my head on edge of the sofa, unbothered to react to him and wore a blank expression, cursing him internally.

I counted breaths silently, staring intently at the floor and he was dead silent too, none of us saying anything. After few minutes, everybody came out chirping and making sounds.

” Okay we are going out…… Vincent take care of everything. We may come late tonight…… don’t wait for us, eat and sleep early. ” Emma said pecking his head and started walking towards the door waving us goodbye.

I watched them pouting as they took off from the road and I was left alone with the meanest person in the world.

” Get inside quickly otherwise your temperature will get worse. ”

I rolled my eyes cursing him internally and strode inside, not eye contacting still mad at him.

I flipped into the sofa hiding my face on the pillow heaving a tired sigh. I was feeling little dizzy and I felt his gaze trained on me but I was least bothered to see him.

” Don’t you think you should sleep in the bed comfortably?”

” Get going somewhere already instead of preaching here. I know you want to go somewhere else…” I huffed gripping the pillow.

” Excuse me? …… I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying here all day.”

Heh?

I looked at him amused and frowned at him. ” What do you mean? You never intended to go out but stay here all day with me? ”

” Yeah……?”

” But why???”

” What why? Of course to take care of you……”

His words struck me to the core. Take care of me……

Yeah right…… my foot……

” No thanks! I can take care of myself, you don’t need to continue your selfish act as nobody’s there. Please leave wherever you want go” I said bluntly without even filter and it felt good.

His death glare grew stronger towards me and the was the moment when a shudder grew stronger in me, threatening to bury me under my old fears.

Run Jennie!

No! Confidence! Confidence Jennie!

He was slicing just by his gaze.” I’m not going anywhere, I am going stay right here in my house…… I don’t care if fickle brain of yours takes it or not.”

I glared at him silently and sat on the sofa, mad at him. The time skipped, he was doing some laptop work and here I was watching TV, wrapping some woolen muffler and sweater on.

I once burst out laughing loudly while watching a TV show and I felt his glare on me. Who told him sit on the hall with me and do his university work.

Wherever I walked or moved I could feel his presence or his gaze on me like I was under his surveillance.

He just wanted me sit idly doing nothing and sleep but I just ignored him doing I wanted to do.

I walked through the garden and got scolded by him to come back as the atmosphere was cold but I didn’t care about his scoldings or warnings because I was mad at him.

I was feeling like he was babysitting me, checking if I am wandering off somewhere or stepping on something or stumbling, wearing warm clothes, eating properly without leaving anything.

And I ?

I was treating him like he didn’t exist in the house, completely ignoring him. Why I should I react to him when he was not interested in me or nothing changed????

…….

*Time Skips*

…….

It was getting dark and there was still no sign of Emma and rest of them coming back and we ate the dinner in dead silence, none of us initiating a single word.

It was already late and I was feeling sleepy, yet I was trembling, my body going cold. Vincent gave me pills and directed me to sleep.

” Maybe I should take to you to hospital and get you an injection…… it seems like your body isn’t recovering fastly.”

I didn’t respond to him pouting, scoffing internally and I felt him pause for a moment his gaze directing at me.

” Why aren’t you responding…… you are completely ignoring me from last few hours…”

Seriously…… split personality……!

I stayed still not uttering a word, tugging the bedsheet rolling to the side. I didn’t hear any movement and felt his gaze still trained on me.

” Are you seriously mad at me for—”

” Is it compulsory to respond…… another rule of yours? ” I said bluntly suppressing my anger and disappointment.

” Why are you t—”

” I’m not imagining anything weird or complicating it don’t worry……” I interrupted him shaking in anger and hurt.

” I’m…… I’m sorry if you felt like that, but I’m still learning. It’s just that I’m not used to faking it. I’m not good at it…… Faking……”

” I know I’m inexperienced in relationships, know nothing about it, but I’m trying my best to act it out.”

” It really helps me a lot if you least react to me…… like I don’t exist at all in your life whenever I’m not needed. I can’t go along with you each and every second as you expect me to.”

I kept my resentful stare fixed on him, satisfied to see his eyes widen for a fraction of second.

But then it sliced me unknowingly when I saw his eyes glimmering with hurt, it was losing it’s edge, but I could discern loneliness in them.

He didn’t say anything in return and darted away silently and slowly like as if he didn’t know what to do. He darted towards cupboard and took out some pill boxes.

I looked at him curiously as he daily took some pills. Was it related to his disorder? He stood there for minutes, his head hung low and I wondered what he was thinking now.

Did I go too far????

But he was the one who dragged me down first! Even I have self esteem, how can I sit quiet while he keep degrading me.

He was standing there still absorbed in his own world as if he was the one who’s innocent in our fights, his invisible puppy tail waggling sadly.

What are you thinking Jennie……Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I flipped opposite and I shut my eyes closed and after few minutes I felt him turning off the light.

I wasn’t getting sleep and I was shivering internally, my body getting chills and I couldn’t control it.

I wrapped myself more with blanket but it wasn’t stopping, maybe my body was slow in recovering.

I suddenly flinched when Vincent pulled me closer to him, encircling his strong arm around me, ducking me in his embrace.

“Vincent……” I breathed out trying to maintain a distance, pushing his shoulder but he held my hand pulled me deadly close to him.

What is he trying to do!?
