Chapter 4
JPOV
"Janine, who is it?" Ibrahim asked behind me.
"It's Jessie." I said loudly in surprise. I never thought I would see him at my front door again.
"Jessie, what are you doing here?" I asked him. "Well, to be honest I was hoping we could talk?" He said, although a little shy.
Oh god, I loved this guy. He was such a sweetheart. Why couldn't Rose just keep him?
Why did they break up anyway? I noticed I was staring a little too long at him so I invited him in and escorted him through to join us in the kitchen. I gave him something to drink and sat down in front of him.
Ibrahim walked in a behind us preparing some coffee to take with him. He received a call from work when the kids were heading off to school. Looks he is off on another business trip. He had already packed what he needed for his week away and as usual, I was going to miss him terribly.
I took my time to say goodbye, wishing him a safe flight and to hurry home again. As Ibrahim walked out the door, I turned to Jessie. I was waiting for him to say something but before too long, I couldn't stand the silence anymore and spoke.
"Jessie, where did you want to talk about?"
"Um, I came here to talk, well I wanted to about Rose." He said sighing.
"Oh okay, what about her?"
"Well, we both know that when I left her I broke her heart. I regret that, I really do and I hoped that she would be okay but she isn't. I am so sorry for what I did and I miss her terribly. I guess I'm asking for another chance and that she will forgive me." He looked down at the table like the marks interested him.
"Well I don't know the reason why you guys broke up but what I do know is that she was a wreck afterwards. I really like youJessie, you seem like a good guy and you two made a good couple. I think you should speak to Rose, just tell her what you told me and take it from there." I really hoped Rose and Jessie could sort things out so Rose would go back to the way she was. I missed the carefree and happy nature of my daughter.
"Thank you Janine! That means a lot!" He exclaimed happily. He began talking away happily about how he wouldn't leave her again and how things would be different. I tuned out after a short while as I kept asking myself the questions: how did they ever break up? Why would she ever leave him? I seriously don't know what Rose is thinking sometimes. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the front door opening. Rose walked in and she did not look happy.
She turned to me outraged "mom, what is he doing here and why are you talking to him?"
Before I could answer Jessie spoke up " Rose sweetie, calm down."
"DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" She screamed back at Jessie. I decided I most definitely had to intervene, otherwise this would end in a fight.
"Rose honey, just calm down and hear him out, just for a minute. Then if you don't like what he has to say, he will leave" I looked over at Jessie to see him nodding in agreement. Rose looked surprised but nodded as well.
She sat down next to me and I could tell that she was uncomfortable, I thought it may be with me being here so I stood up to leave "I'll leave you two to it then, if you need anything I'll just be upstairs."
I went upstairs and kept busy with the laundry. I wanted to hear what they were talking about but decided against it. After 5 minutes of folding clothes I could hear their voices starting to rise. I walked to the stairs so I could hear it all more clearly.
I heard Rose's raised and agitated voice "Jessie, we are never going to get back together!"
"But Rose, I told you I'm sorry that I left you but we have got to get back together and it will be better for you this way!" He yelled in reply.
"I know what is the best for me and that is not getting back together with you!" She was getting angrier with every passingminute but so was he.
"You know you can't get away from me I'll keep coming back until I get what I want."
With that said he walked out off the room and left.
I rushed back to my room to continue to fold the laundry. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear Rose enter.
I almost jumped 10 feet in the air when she spoke.
"Mom, I just got a message from Adrian. He is staying out with friends for the evening so can we order some pizza?"
Still startled at her entrance and the fight that Rose obviously wasn't going to fill me in on, I agreed.
"Yes sure sweetie you can order some pizza."
She studied my face to see if I was going to subject her to a multiple amount of questions. After a minute she realised that it wasn't going to happen, so she simply sighed and walked back downstairs.
I kept folding the laundry until I heard the doorbell ring. Heading downstairs, I grabbed some money for the pizza and even a bit extra for a tip, just in case.
However, when I opened the door and gave him the money for the food, he counted it, said a plain "Thankyou, enjoy your pizza" then returned to his car. Jeez, he didn't look so happy so I didn't hand him a tip. I rarely give them a tip, I mean, why should I? Whats wrong with putting on a smile these days?
I walked to the kitchen and set the pizza down on the table. I was glad to see Rose was already sitting there waiting for meand not locked in her room. We began eating the pizza in silence.
I thought I should try and make a conversation but it didn't went that great
"How was school today? Did you do anything fun?" I asked. She answered with the same old "It was fine."
After that failed attempt, I gave up and continued to eat the rest of the pizza in an awkward silence.
After dinner watching TV was still awkward. After the show ended, Rose stood up and quietly spoke
"I'm going to bed, goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight Rosemarie." I replied sadly. She headed up the stairs again and disappeared into her room.
I let out a sigh and started to wonder again what happened between her and Jessie. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and someone entering. I was glad to see Adrian come walking around the corner and he joined me on the lounge.
"Glad your home safe Adrian, but its late. If your going to stay up, turn the lights off before you head up to bed! Goodnight sweetheart."
Adrian didn't appear to be in a chatty mood either; so I simply kissed his cheek and headed up to my room.
"Goodnight mom" I heard him call out after me.
When I finally was in bed I let all the thoughts come back. There was one question that kept popping up and it was why did they break up? What actually happened between them that Rose wont talk about?
I seriously didn't know. How could she not want him back? What could he have done so wrong? He is such a sweetheart. With these questions spinning through my head I started to fade into darkness.
