IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN

Chapter 4 after the rejection

Chapter 4:after the rejection

JADEN POV

I just got to my sister’s Mediclinic—actually, it’s the hospital where she works—and here I am standing at the reception. And you know, I’m at the reception, and honestly, I’m not in the mood for all these questions they keep asking me

My sister is the one who’s been keeping things together for me. And now I must deal with this new receptionist asking a bunch of questions. It’s like they don’t even realize I’m family let me not blame her since our surnames are not the same anymore calm down jay just grin your smile is amazing, considering how my brother-in-law just disappeared from the picture.” I’m bit of frustrated

While I'm still standing here trying to explain who I am, the receptionist keeps asking if I have an appointment, and meanwhile Kaiden who was nowhere to be found decided to grace us with his presence holding a mini bag I'm like really dude and I'm hopeful we can clear this up now." Sure!

I followed him into that consultation room with him looking at me confused ohm yeah I caught him off guard today it's his lunch time with his wife but I feel no damn less guilty this people live together they’ll eat supper together at least basically he asked me again to make sure "Hey bro, what exactly are you doing here?" and you could just feel that tension in the air I'm like dude it’s just for today you guys work in one place . Jaden had to explain himself again, and he was feeling a mix of frustration and maybe a little bit of impatience. So that's the vibe of that moment

And now I had to humble myself before he chases me out since it’s a free consultation “Hey, my mind is all over the place and I feel like I need a consultation. I feel like exploding I’m telling you I need a session or should just set up an appointment.” after I told him that I need an appointment, he looks at me a bit weirdly, because hey, it’s not every day he gets such a nice client like me who’s not forced to go into therapy I mean I brought myself here , right? And the And I chuckled a bit to convince him that I'm fine

KAIDEN POV

So, I just keep my head down, I open the door, and I'm honestly just wondering why Jayden looks so grumpy this early. It’s not even evening yet!

I'm trying to calm him down since he’s pacing up and down Jay being a mess is one thing but being and a mess n comes to me with no solution is another, so I offer him a drink. I’m not even sure if I should be giving him whiskey, considering he might have to be at work after this or going home, I'm just not sure what to do with him at this rate I've never seen him this worried last time he was like this his sister was giving birth to our first born I swear he wanted to bury me alive that day but as for now I'm not sure. He even stares at the glass like it’s suspicious or something! But after a few minutes, he sits down I guess he’s calming down right

This may be my profession but not with this dude I'm definite sure god wanted to punish me to surrender or change career worse part he’s not even bipolar it’s too much of a personality in one person. Then I ask him to please sit down and explain what happened. I tell him, "You look like Eliza ran off with somebody else! " Hoh boy it worked Hoh I don’t like that look Jayden gave me this intense and almost scary look, which is just typical because he can be a grumpy guy sometimes but it’s normal for me thou. Wait a minute that gaze "Don’t tell me it’s true," and then he shrugged basically like he’s debating himself and said, "Yeah, she chose work over me I'm definite sure you must be overwhelmed since you’ve been hoping so huh ." And then I tried to dig a little deeper and asked, "How do you feel about that, since it's not another person, but just her focusing on work?" kind of in disbelief still contemplating how to properly say it eventually he let down a deep sigh and said, "Look bro I’m happy for her. I know how much she loves following her dreams, but she didn’t even give me a chance to try and understand where I went wrong, she just ended things right away."

Jay is scratching his head and knowing how much he cherishes her ,this guy is a lover he’s a human teddy bear it just breaks me to know that they got separated I ended up gulping that whiskey I'll explain to madam later my throat is dry at this moment “did she at least try to explain why she wants to end it? ’

He's just kind of shaking his head, still trying to figure it all out sort of trying to recall the scene yah he’s just shocked ‘I still don’t get that explanation of hers I mean we can both compromise or am I too selfish to the point where she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore’

Damn bro no wonder you’re like this nah heartbreak does numbers huh I can’t recognise this dude Infront of me now “what did you think it is that led to making you think you’re selfish? "I boldly asked him he shrugged while shaking his head “ maybe I was not romantic enough and was busy with a project at work and forgot about her ,maybe I was not giving her enough attention focusing on my savage beauty the past month maybe I'm too strict that she can’t share her achievement with me but at the last minute she didn't even feel like sharing unless if I have to ask ”I had to stop him midway with his self-doubt because it’s not even going to help at this point

Lisa’s POV

Giving me that little look that basically says, “Hey, I’m not ready to get into this right now.” She’s indulging in that ice cream and sending a clear signal that she’d rather just be left to her own thoughts for the moment.

And I just took a deep breath, So, I decided to take a scoop for myself , has a taste at least it’s not everyday you have a friend that can be like a nutshell at this point Samuel is needed he always has a way to force a truth out of her

She’s basically dodging me and saying, “Hey, why are you even asking me when you’ve got all the news right at home?” So yeah, she’s just making it clear she’s not spilling anything easily! Got it! And then she’s like, “I caught a cold,” kind of pretending to cough a bit to make it look convincing. “But why you eating ice cream then with a cold ” I asked “and You look really pale, come on, spill it, what actually happened?” And then she gives you that look and roll her eyes dramatically and says, “Well, you already know you’ve got all the news right here at home, so what’s the point of a search warrant?”

Okay she’s firm as a wall unmoved I give up with this child okay I definitely did rush it “I don’t want to be bored by another human being that was long cancelled in my life ,I mean seeing them yesterday just got me sinuses ,the whole family….

I just let my friend vent it all out while finishing her ice cream, well she’s a human ticking boom
