Chapter 71: Upcoming birthday (Edited)

Days seemed to almost fly with the in-laws around. The she-devil never showed her face to the villa and Stormy stayed for a while before she left with her aunt leaving Roy back. Roy himself moved back to grandpa's house leaving the house for Amy and Jeff. Though he kept acting friendly to Amy that only made her super uncomfortable, all the vibes he gave out were uncomfortable and weird.

Monday afternoon found her in the villa kitchen, she had no classes on that day and Jeff hadn't got home yet, so she took frozen yogurt from the fridge and placed it on a bowl, took scoops of it, sitting on the counter. Before she hit halfway, she heard the front door open and footsteps, she guessed that that was Jeff. A minute later he appeared in the kitchen and she narrowed her eyes at him.

"What?" he asked as he got into the kitchen.

Amy frowned and dropped her spoon on the bowl. "We can't stay without a chef and house helps! This is crazy!"

Jeff took a seat next to her. "We can, you know how to cook, I could try, we can get the work done by ourselves."

Amy's face softened. "Are we running bankrupt or something?" The last thing she wanted was to be overbearing or something.

Jeff shook his head as he got up. "No, I doubt we will ever run bankrupt in this life or the next seven, I just figured out that it was time we learn to do things." He picked a spoon before making his way to where she was and before he sat Amy placed her bowl away from his reach. Narcissistic thick-headed man.

"If you wanted to learn something, take a cooking class, I know enough to sustain me."

As he struggled to get a spoonful of the frozen yogurt, "Then you can teach me." He swung his spoon in a futile attempt.

"I'm sorry I have no time to teach hopeless students, I swear if you touch my yogurt, I'll chop off your fingers one by one." That seemed to keep Jeff put. "By the way, before I forget your grandpa is out of the country and so is Roy, and I heard nothing from Jason, to cut the long story short, grandpa asked me to make sure you celebrate your birthday well."

Jeff toyed with the spoon on his finger his eyes fixed on it as if it became the most interesting thing on earth. "Well, that's usual, he's always on trips, I'll just work through it."

Getting a bit uncomfortable and guilty. "Ohm, I kind of promised him you'll celebrate it, do you want a party with only your friends in it, I could organize that?" she looked at him expectantly but the only reaction she got from him is shaking his head.

"I've been spending it working, it's fine really." He lifted his face and made eye contact with her and behind the mask, she saw loneliness and longing for family, for love, and attention. But what could she do?

"Yeah, but right now I am here, I hate to say this but you have a wife, what do you want me to do? Feel guilty, okay fine I have some ridiculous idea and I am not sure you would like it."

He looked at her with a crinkled brow. "Hmm?"

Amy left her shoulder sag, "Seriously, tomorrow is the day, just make sure you have nothing on your schedule all noon there is something I want you to do with me. Please."

His lips curled up and Amy took that as a yes. All she now hoped was that he would like what she had planned for him. She only crossed her fingers with her breath held wondering if it was too late to pull back the birthday thing.

Isn't she being a little bit overcaring to a man she was forced to marry? Huh?...
