?Episode 15 B?
Penny’s POV:?
I turn shift in my sleep and slowly open my eyes.
Wait, it is a dream.
I winched and sat back on the bed. It looked so real, so fking real.
I suddenly got panic, where is Chris? I jump down from the bed and rushed out of the room.
“Chris! Chris! Chris!!” I shouted, where has he gone to?
Where is my baby?
I silently pray, pray that this is dome game.
“Chris!”
“In here mommy.” I heard his voice from a room and I stopped only track.
I slowly pushed the door open and saw him holding a picture.
“You’re not supposed to be here baby.” I said, walking closer to him.
He shrugged and placed back the picture inside the drawer.
“Whose picture is that?” I asked him.
“It is Arley’s mom,” he replied.
Bryce’s wife?
I picked up the picture and my mouth dropped opened.
No wonder she is a model, she is drop dead gorgeous.
A curvy queen.
Looking at her picture I started feeling self conscious.
If his wife is as beautiful as this then he won’t even look at me like that.
I huffed and drop the picture.
As if I want him to look at me.
I glanced around the room and my mouth dropped opened.
There was a huge portrait of Zendaya on the wall, including that of Bryce. And also a family picture of her, Bryce and Arley.
They look cute together.
He must be Bryce’s room, it was painted all white.
I must say that this room is as big as my apartment. Why the f**k does she and his wife need some much big rooms for?
“Come baby, this is someone’s matrimonial room. Let’s go.” I said and grab his hand.
We walk out of the room and just then Arley and Faith climb upstairs.
“You’re back.” I smiled sweetly at her and kssed her on both cheeks.
She giggled and nods her head.
“I went to the cafe today but later remember that you weren’t there.” She said sadly and I nodded.
I’m in pain as well, baking is not my profession but I must say. This past few weeks that I engage in baking shortcakes, making Doughnuts and co…..I fell in love with it.
“Don’t worry baby girl, I’ll go to the cafe tomorrow and make you something delicious.” I promised her.
“Pinky promise?”
“I pinky promise.” She brought out her pinky finger and I did mine.
She laughed and skipped off to her room.
“I’ll go and make her some tea,” Faith said and off she goes.
**********
I picked up my phone from the couch and dialed Maggie’s number.
?Penny where have you been? I went to your apartment but couldn’t find you.” Her voice boomed from the other side.
?I was evicted by my landlord,I’m sorry I just don’t want to disturb you and your boyfriend.” I said and she hissed.
“That is a ridiculous reason Penny, what if you got yourself or Christian in trouble? Where are you by the way?” She asked.
Now which of this questions are going to be answered first?
? I am fine Maggie, and I’m staying at Bryce King mansion.” I replied and await her interrogation once more.
?Bryce King! Girl you…..you are soft.”
Well, I’ll forgive that.
?I will be at the cafe tomorrow, tell Ana that I said hello.” I said and hanged up before she could say another word.
I give out a sign of relief and walk out of the room.
It is late already and he us not back. I walk out of the balcony and stare down, glancing around the compound.
Bryce’s POV:
I drove out of the underground garage, my eyelid itching me.
I stopped a little bit beside the road side as Zendaya’s picture showed at the billboard.
Her body glowing radiantly as she pose for the picture.
I miss you Zen, when will you be back?
I turn on the ignition and continue driving.
After driving for one hour, I drove inside my underground garage and parked the car.
I climb the stairs calmly, my heart beating rapidly.

I walk inside my room and remove my suit jacket, I started undoing my shirt after which I threw it on the bed.
I opened the drawer and got faced with Zen picture.
I picked it up and caress the face.
“I love you.” I whispered and kssed it.
A knock came on the door and I dropped the picture on the bed.
“Come in.”
The door was pushed open and Penny walked in.
How did she know my room?
What is she doing here any way.
“You’re back.” She said and smile, I nods and stare at her face.
I don’t know why, I just love staring into her eyes, there is something deep calling for me in her eyes.
Though she smiles every now and then but whenever I look deep into her eyes, they were lonely, cold, helpless whuch made me feel extremely sad.
Why do I feel so bad for her?
I want to help her out of that facade.
“I……would you like some coffee? I just made it.” She said and I nods. She smiled and walked towards me then hand over the coffee mug.
“When you’re through, come downstairs for dinner.”
Why do i feel like she cares about me?
