I sat on the sofa looking at Jackie who was watching the TV. Sitting comfortably I gulped a sip of my tea and gobbled it when Jackie spoke.
"I'm sorry,"he apologised softly by looking at the ground.
"What do you mean," I asked by furrowing my eyebrows at him.
"I mean...hmmm...,"he looked at me" I shouldn't have danced with Natasha leaving you alone. It was rude,"
"That's okay. ," I waved in the air with my other hand in a dramatic way " I know it was very rude."
"Not very rude. Just rude,"he said in his usual voice.
"Nope"
"Yup"
"You sounded very rude," I placed the mug on the table.
"No ...I sounded just rude, '' he argued, standing up in front of me.
“Well it was very rude that you called me to be your partner and danced with your girlfriend," I argued back by standing up in front of him" moreover you were rude when I told you that she is your girlfriend and
You spoke to me and almost yelled at me with your nerves popping up on your forehead. "
"She is not my girlfriend," he said it harshly
"See you are being rude again," I instructed by lowering my voice.
"Sorry," he apologised again with his soft voice which was as seen from the previous tone. It sounded so soft and apologetic.
"Hmmm," I hummed aloud.
He pointed his index finger on my forehead and continued "well You sounded rude too"
"What did I do?"I asked, wrinkling my forehead and tapping his finger away.
"You screamed at me saying that I'm your boyfriend,"
"Excuse me,"I frowned" I told that you are not my boyfriend, "
"It's just an subtle difference,"
"I did it because you danced with your girlfriend and questioned me when I danced with someone else," a stare was given to me by Jackie "Alright who so ever she is," I managed and continued "And you yelled at me as a dinosaur,"
" You monkeyyyy,"he dragged the 'y' in a cute tone.
"I don't care. They are cute," I stated by holding my hips.
He rolled his eyes and glanced at me "Even I don't care..... because dinosaurs are scary,"he emphasised
the word scary in a dry tone.
"I hate you," I shouted and turned around facing my back to him.
"I never told you that I love you," Jackie said and turned around.
"You are repeating my sentence," I complained by turning around again to face him as he also turned.
"With different words my sweetie pie," he blurted out by whispering the word sweetie pie. He raised an eyebrow and I knew that he was expecting something back so I just screeched and left.
.......................
"Seriously," I looked around the library which was renovated. "Grandpa needs a library to pile up books." I know that I've already been here but I still have this doubt.
I went through the books which were arranged on the first shelf. The library is almost filled up with science stuff and some biology books. I don't understand why grandpa reads this boring stuff. What is he going to do by knowing about human's nature like I mean weakness? Almost most of the books are about the organs .
I walked around that small room which is known as grandpa's library. I traced my finger over the books which were piled up in the third row of the last shelf at the edge.
Finally , I found a book to read. I'm tired of going through all the books to find a novel which I haven't read.
I placed my index finger over the book and pulled it but ........
I didn't get the book.
"What?" I frowned and reached over the edge. To my surprise ...yes it has to be him. He smirked at me by holding the book before he could grab it. I took hold of the other side.
"I took it first," I shouted and pulled the book towards me.
"You didnt. I did,"he smirked and pulled it back and as usual for the force I moved a step forward.
"You really have to be strong," he teased with a smile.
"Just stop it Jackie. I need the book,"I blurted and pulled the book without taking a rest. I kept my left foot back and my right foot in front. I closed my eyes and pulled.
"Ouch,"I shouted when I hit hard on the floor.
"You can take it," he said, leaning over the wall with his arms wrapped around his chest. I could see that he was trying his best not to laugh but he failed. He bursted out as he finished his sentence. He pulled his palm forward by moving away from the wall. Tapping his hand away because I didn't want help I got onto my feet. Putting my hair back in position I glared at him by dusting my skirt.
"You said that you need the book. That is the reason.. why I gave it to you," he winked and left immediately before I could notice.
