Chapter 27 - chapter 22 the ride

Author POV

The mansion sun streamed through the tall windows of the mansion, filling Jay's room with golden light.

Jay, as usual, was already up and moving.... Her tiny 150 cm frame darting around her room as she got ready for, college. Her bag was neatly packed, pencil and sketches inn place, laptop charged, and her tiny sneakers waiting by the door.

Usually, Celina would drop her at university, chatting with her the whole way.

Today, however, was different. Celina and Max had gone shopping, leaving only the maids in the house.

Jay hummed a little tune while brushing her hair, slipping her hair tie into aa bun. She sighed and looked at the clock.

Jay : " Oh no! I'm already late! Cece isn't here..... What am I going to do? "

Her tiny heart pounded with panic. Normally, mornings were calm and fun with Celina, full of chatter and teasing, but now, chaos reigned in her little world.

Jay ran downstairs, calling out in her tiny, high-pitched voice:

Jay : " Hey! Aunty! Wait, where's everyone? Mom? Dad? "

Maid : " Miss Jay, everyone has gone shopping today. Only we are here to manage the house. You need to leave soon if you want to reach university on time. "

Jay : " Ugh! No one ever thinks about me. How am I supposed to get there on time. "

She paces back and forth, tiny fists clenching in frustration.

Just then, the front door opened, and in stepped keifer. He was calm, tall, confident, in casual hoodie and jeans, but his eyes immediately landed on the small whirlwind pacing the hallway.

Keifer : " Hmm... Looks like someone's in a hurry this morning. "

Jay froze.

Jay : " What are you doing here!? You're not supposed to be.... Ugh! "

Keifer : " I can take you to college. I'm free. Or are you planning to teleport there? "

Jay : " No! I don't need your help. I can.... I'll manage. I don't need a ride from you! "

Keifer smirked, clearly enjoying the tiny tornado's stubbornness.

Keifer : " Uh-huh.... Sure, tiny tornado. And you think you can magically appear at Stanford in five minutes. "

Jay : " I... I can! I... I.... Uh.... Just give me a minute, I'll figure it out. "

Keifer watched her with mild amusement. He could see the frustration mixed with panic in her big eyes, and it made him smirk even more.

Keifer:"listen.... I'm not asking for. I'm offering. If you refuse, you'll be late, and I know you hate being late. "

Jay : " Ugh... Fine... I have no choice. "

Keifer : " Sure... Sure. Hop in. "

Jay stomped her tiny foot but climbed into the car, muttering under her breath.

Keifer drove smoothly keeping his eyes on the road, but the tension in the passenger seat was palpable. Jay, arms crossed, tiny legs dangling, glared out the window, clearly annoyed.

Keifer : " You're really tiny. Do you realize how tiny you are compared to me. "

Jay : " I'm not tiny! I'm... Compact! Efficient! Fierce! "

Keifer : " Fierce, huh? I'll keep that in mind, tiny tornado. "

Jay muttered something under her breath, trying to act indignant, but a small smile betrayed her irritation.

Keifer ( thinking) :even in angry she is irresistible. "

Jay, meanwhile, tried to ignore him, glaring out of the window at the passing streets. Her little mind was racing with thought
