Chapter 28 - No One’s Business

Then what?, Rose leaned in thrilled. Then when we went for dinner, he stuffed his face like a fat pig, then he just dozed off snoring like a freaking generator when we got back to the hotel room, Rose shook with laughter clapping her hands at Penny's annoyance.

And then I said, you can't get to Paris with a bike from here, Rose said, the both of them suddenly erupted in laughter. I know you guys were talking about the weekend date, there's really no need to feel weird around me, she heaved. I'm going to say this with Rose as my witness, she started, I'm not against you and Dr May dating, I don't love the idea, but he doesn't love me either, and I knew that from the start, I knew he already had someone in his heart, regardless I tried my best and that's what matters. Honestly I feel free now, no longer nervous whether he'll choose me or not, I'm proud to have at least tried, I'm really sorry for being hostile towards you, I honestly wish you guys all the happiness in the world, they all smiled at each other. Come here, Maddie opened her arms, Penny rushing in, Rose also joining in, ok now do tell us about the date, they squealed.

Where are you going, Riele who was sneaking out halted, to see my friends, she twitched showing her lower teeth. You have no friends here Riele, Jackson could you just let me live, she snapped, I'm finally making new friends after Penny shouldn't you be happy for me, ugh, she sighed strutting out in false anger. She took a deep breath as she walked, by the way her twin looked at her she knew he didn't buy her lies, but what could she do, the love of her life called and she had to go running.

You want to do these things with me, Riele smiled down at a piece of paper, boldly written at the top things to do with Penny, but it seemed that flew over her head. Don't look so happy, you're just a substitute, Steven said scornfully, but she was already too happy to see the look on his face, thank you for the chance to love you, she hugged him tightly around the neck. Steven stood with his back arched to reach her just waiting patiently for her to let go, but first, she squealed, she grabbed the nearest pen crossing off Penny's name, my name should be here, she wrote her name and drew a heart by the side.

Riele beamed at the modified list in her hands, monster truck riding, going to the beach, horseback riding and much more. List of things to do with Riele, what are you doing, she folded it up hiding it at her back as she sprung up. No Riele, the question is, what are you doing, are you going to substitute for her now, you might as well die your hair brown and curl it, get contacts and a tan, Jackson suggested sarcastically. Is this seriously what you want for yourself, that bastard is literally just going to use and dump you, oh please, you're just angry because Penny doesn't like you anymore, she said and gasped, hitting her lips. That's not what I meant, wait, Jackson slammed the front door in her face and walked off.

Ding, Josh mimicked the bell at the counter, Josh, Penny smiled, what are you doing here, hey there Penny, Rose, where's my little green, he blushed. Oh you just lost her, she just got off work, but it isn't time yet, he checked his watch. Penny blushed as Maddie walked towards them, turning away as Josh looked at her.

Ugh, I'm already in a terrible mood, Maddie groaned at the sight of Josh. Well I'm here to turn that frown upside down little green, I'll wait till you're off. Who told you you could… Josh had already been sitting across the reception beaming at her as she looked up to complain.

Hold on I'll leave with you, Penny rushed to change, did you and Dr May have a fight, no, he just said to leave without him as he has a very busy night. Oh so you're just doing everything he says like a good little lover girl, Rose teased, causing Penny to hit her playfully as they giggled, before rushing to get changed.

So how do you think the date with Jason will go, Rose sighed as they strolled out, I hope it goes well, but.. I guess we'll just have to wait she nodded. Penny halted as she heard quick footsteps catching up to them, her heart racing, at least she had company this time so they could fight him off together.

Penn.. she tensed up as someone grabbed her by the shoulder, instinctively body throwing them. Omg she yelled, Jackson, I'm so sorry I thought it was Steven.

Back at one of the hospital rooms she was putting some ice on his back as he winced from the pain of being body slammed. Rose stood solid next to her knowing that Jackson was one of the last people she wanted to see with let alone be alone with, but Penny being the saint she was knew Jackson had something to tell her, and for what it was worth she wanted to hear him out. Are you sure, Rose asked as she gave her the please leave the room look, she nodded, Rose leaving reluctantly.

Penny kept on icing his back as they sat in silence, her breathing heavy with an uneasy look on her face. Someone who she once couldn't live without was now making her so uncomfortable she could throw up. I'm sorry, he started as she put down the ice bag, I'm genuinely sorry for everything, no matter what I should never have betrayed you like that, heck I don't even have the right to be here right now, I just started walking and ended up here, I guess the heart wants what it wants, he scoffed.

It's about Riele, he said worried as Penny stood up to leave, it's like I don't know who she is anymore, he continued Penny still facing the door. Steven is making her crazy, it feels like she doesn't even know her right from wrong anymore and she's just.. I don't know, Penny finally turned back with side eyes, as he massaged his head deciding he needed someone to talk to.

Thanks for listening to me, she stood with his arm over her head helping him stsnd as the waited for a cab, no problem, she smiled. She waved a cab, opening the door, trying to help him get in as she could feel his intense gaze on her. Can I hug you before I go he gawked at her already in the cab, sure, she reached in hugging him quickly, patting his back, thanks again, Jackson pulled her in as she was about to let go, placing a peck on her face.

Penny, Rose told me about how you body slammed Jackson, where'd you learn that, Patrick strolled out putting on his Jacket. Penny subconsciously wiped her cheek, the sight of her hot boyfriend putting on his jacket melted any memory of what just happened. Just a little something I learnt off youtube, she blushed as he pulled her in pecking her on the lips.

Mhmmhm, single approaching, Rose cleared her throat, if I knew you guys would be doing this, I'd have brought a hose, she acted like she had a hose in hand, everyone erupting in laughter.
