Never Judge a Book
Chapter 9
I don't own a thing!
Since I got lazy in actually looking up spanish, I decided to just BOLD whatever they're saying in spanish. Sooo...
BOLD= Spanish
ALSO...I neeed more ideas to make this a BobbyxJen story. Leave it in the reviews please && The updates will be a lot faster. :)
So there's still tension from last night with me and Bobby. We haven't spoken nor have we looked at each other. I have every right to be mad, and he knows it! I was on a date with a good guy, and he comes to break it up because of a meaningless kiss. Then he has the nerve to tell me that he instantly fell for me when he saw me again. Everything that comes out his mouth just seems like pure bullshit. He treated me like crap when we were younger, and even when my step father started getting his way with me. No matter how many times Evelyn told him to cool it, he kept going. It hurt to know the guy I liked was giving me a hard time through a really tough time. I just don't know what to think.
I walk into my office, and placed my purse into the drawer. I hear a slight knock on the door, and there's Dan.
"Look, I apologize for last night. I didn't know they were coming, and-" In that moment, I felt his lips press against mine. They were soft, and he smelled of the same cologne. When he pulled away, I was breathless. Something about the kiss didn't feel right.
"Sorry, I wanted to do that last night but I never got the chance." He said.
"Um, it's good."
"Maybe we can go out another night." He said. I nodded.
"Sure, I'll just let you know when." I answered. I watched as he walked away, and kissing him didn't feel right. Maybe it was because I was caught off guard or something. I walk around to sit at my desk, and Destiny walked in.
"Kissing at the workplace? You dirty girl." She teased.
"He kissed me." I corrected.
"As I said, You have two guys while I have none." I let out a chuckle.
"Something about that kiss didn't feel right, Des." I confessed.
"What do you mean? Like it felt like he had herpes or-"
"Not that. You know that feeling you get when you kiss the right guy?" She nodded. "I didn't get that from him."
"Well which ever one you don't want, I'll have." I shake my head as she walked out the door.
I walked through the door of the Mercer household, the men were sitting in the living room. They look at me, except for Bobby.
"Hey Jen." Jack greeted.
"Hi." The tension was still thick in the air. It was awkward just standing there with him sitting there. "I think I'm just gonna go upstairs."
"Don't get comfortable, we're leaving." Bobby finally said.
"Where we going?"
"Don't worry about it." He said, harshly. I roll my eyes.
(~~**~**~**~**~**~*~*~)
So Me, Jack, and Bobby got of my car. Angel was stuck at home dealing with Sophie since she was complaining about him never being there.
"I don't know about this," I finally said, breaking our silence.
"Just get the damn key," Bobby said. I exhaled through my nose, keeping my anger in. After getting the key, we headed upstairs. I opened the door to the apartment, and let the ransacking begin.
I had to admit it was bit neat for a couple of killers, and not too many bad electronics. I walked into the the master bedroom. I was looking through everything, and anything. I opened the drawers and there was nothing important. Just condoms, bills, CD's and a wad of cash. I took the cash, and started counting it. It was 1200 dollars. Who leaves this around the house? I placed the wad into my pocket. I'll split it with Jack later. I got onto my knees, and looked under the bed. Nothing but dirty clothes and empty bottles. I walk towards the closet, and it was neat. I began pulling boxes off the shelf. There were full of important.
Before I close the closet door, I noticed something on the floor. It was a a briefcase or some sort. I bend down, and open it. There were guns. One had a silencer on it.
"Find anything?" Bobby asked from the other room.
"Camera." Jack yelled back.
"Some CDs, Condoms, and Guns in the closet." I said. I hear footsteps behind me, and there was Bobby. I handed him the guns as I took them from their spots. I closed the case after I finished and followed Bobby into the living room. Jack held up the camera in his hand.
"Let's go." Bobby said. We both followed him outside the door.
As soon as we got back, Sophie was putting away food. It's probably from the romantic dinner that her and Angel shared this evening. I walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water. The kiss I shared with Dan is still haunting me. It didn't feel right, I was comfortable.
"Sophie," I called.
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure,"
"So the guy I went on a date with kissed me today."
"What? That's Good!"
"No it's not". I said. I sat down at the table, and looked up at her. "It didn't feel right. There was no spark between us."
"What do you mean by sparks?"
"When you kiss Angel, There's a small spark between you two right?" I asked.
"Yes"
"I didn't feel that with my date. When this other guy kissed me, i could actually feel something." Her face lit up.
"Who's the guy? " She asked, sitting across from me. I leaned into her ear and told her the truth. "Really " I nodded.
"He kissed me."
"I thought you fought yesterday? " I nodded.
"Will you guys stop with the spanish shit? I can't think." Bobby asked, interrupting our convo. I roll my eyes, and shake my head.
"Don't worry about it. Just do what your heart tells you to do." Sophie said.
"My heart doesn't say anything."
"Jen!" Jack called from the dining room. I got up and walked into the the dining room. "That's that lawyer guy!That shit head said he only met her once, Bobby!"We hear the front door close and there's Angel.
"Where have you been? I've been trying to call you all day." Bobby said.
"I've been following up new leads." He said, looking at Jerry. When did he get here?
"Let's go check this lawyer out. Jerry you coming with us?" Bobby asked, picking up his coat from behind the chair it was draped over.
"Of course I do."Jerry answered.
Then let's go, stop bullshittin'." Bobby said. He looked at me, and I could tell he was still mad at last night's banter. "You comin' Jen?"
"I think I'm gonna sit this one out." I said. The guys started walking out the door, and I stopped Jerry in his tracks. "Look after Jack, okay?"
"You act as if I don't."
"I didn't say you didn't." I said, moving my hand from the door. He walked outside, and I closed the door. I look at the time, and walked straight into the living room. I think I'm just gonna go to sleep since it's been a pretty awkward and rough day.
(~~**~**~**~**~**~*~*~)
SPLASH!
I imediately woke up to the feeling of cold water all over me.
"What the fuck!?" I yelled.
"Why didn't you tell us that Ma was seeing that lawyer?!" Bobby asked.
"Maybe because you didn't fucking ask!" I growled. I quickly got up from the couch, and walked upstairs into the bathroom. I grabbed a towel, and dried my face.
"Didn't you know we were going to go see him?" Bobby asked.I shook my head.
"No, and I didn't give two fucks." I said, drying my hair.
"Bitch." he mumbled.
"What the fuck is your problem Bobby?!" I asked. "Ever since our little banter last night, you've been giving me the shitty end of the stick."
"You know what my problem is? You!"
"I'm your fucking problem?"
"Yes!."
"You know what, I won't be a problem anymore." I squeezed past him, and went into Jack's room. I grabbed my purse from the bed, and car keys from the night table.
"Where are you going?" He asked, standing in the doorway.
"Back to my house, where I won't be a problem to you." I moved past him once again, and made my way down the stair. I opened the front door, and headed straight for my car.
"Jen." Jackie called. I turn to see him jog towards me. "Where are you going?"
"Back to my place, Jackie. I'm done dealing with Bobby's attitude. I'll be back tomorrow to get my clothes." I said, getting into the drivers seat.
"Does that mean you're done helping us?" I looked at him.
"Yes, I'm done." I answered. "I didn't sign on to this to be kissing Bobby's ass or anybody's ass for that matter. I said yes because I wanted to kill the son of bitch who killed Evelyn." I turned the keys.
"Come on, Jen. Please stay." He begged. I shook my head.
"I can't, Jack." I pulled out of the driveway, and started my drive home.
