Norman looked at Archie calmly and licked his lips, Esteban was dumbfounded , what is he doing?
Archie walked toward Norman with complicated expression, he clenched his fist and punched his jaw very hard.
Esteban closed his eyes and sat on the couch comfortably, he expected that, Norman chuckled and wiped the blood coming from his lip. " You just awake my inner demons" he said as helicked the blood.
" you're welcome" said Archie.
Archie raised his brow and faced Esteban " Protect my children's face from the social media tomorrow" With that he left, earlier Esteban told Archie about the stupid solution, Norman was embarrassed to face them so he quickly left them to avoid cold look from Archie and annoying teasings from Esteban!
Who knows Jenna will also come? "He really let you fulfilled your wish..." Esteban muttered in amusement, what a friend.
"So how are you feeling Mr Norman?" He asked him, hoping for a good news " I want more.." Esteban rolled his eyes and shook his head, Archie will definitely kill him if he hear this" gonna shoot you and your therapist when I'm less busy, believe me"
Norman have never felt this satisfaction about Jenna in his life, maybe because he believed the kiss will work, it's really help a little but he still wish Jenna should stay by his side but he's happy for Archie, what if Archie loves her more ?
_____________
Jenna was stopped by Martinez as soon as she reached the private garage" get out of my way' she said. How can she encounter Martinez in this type of situation?.
"Madam listen, boss told me to stop you" he said, Jenna even felt more nervous, what will he do? She knew he trust her but Archie saw her kissed his best friend with his own eyes!
Jenna want to leave immediately before Archie join them " he knew about it " Martinez rolled his eyes, it seem Jenna isn't familiar with the recent Archie, the old Archie isn't as strong as the current one! Archie is now understanding and calm, maybe maturity?
Jenna looked at Martinez in confusion " Knew about what?" She asked, how did Martinez even know about what happened?
Martinez smiled and said " why don't you ask him yourself?"
Jenna closed her eyes, she can feel him standing behind her, she felt him, Archie is really good at ghost walking, you will never hear the sound of his footsteps!
Martinez bow dramatically and left the loverbirds to settle themselves, Jenna gathered all her courage, explanation will do right ? She inhaled deeply and exhaled before she turned around, facing Archie " I swear, I didn't see that coming" she stared.
Archie raised a brow " you were kissing him back" he teased.
Jenna lower her head in guilty, he's right " I thought he finally want to get over me" she said. For Norman to kissed her out of blue make her heartache... Norman had been hiding it for twenty five years, it's not easy, she has experienced it once with her highschool crush and knew the pain.
From the age of seventeen till thirty two years old.
"Get in" Archie said and entered, Jenna was confused, is he annoyed or he understood the situation?.
Jenna entered and looked at Archie " I'm sorry" she said and held his hand, Archie didn't withdraw his hand or respond.
"You already know about it right" That's what her instinct told her, Archie only nodded and the car was quite, even the Driver was scared to breathe.
Archie have his own thought, why did Norman tolerated that feelings for twenty five years? That's too much, Archie didn't want imagine himself in that awful situation, that's very painful, his father can testify this.
He was aware about Esteban's feeling for Jenna, infant Esteban loved her first, instead of killing himself with that feelings, he make himself believed the kind of feelings he had for Jenna is brother to sister's feelings and that helped him till date.
Sometimes letting go of someone you know it's not possible between you two, is the best option to make, in other to make yourself happy.
Why don't you want to believe you will find a better person? Why don't you want to open up for a better person? Will hurting yourself and waiting for empty hope help you?
No.
