The baby contract novel Chapter 42

" Whatever " Jenny snorted and stared blankly into space.

" Go on please " Carla whined 

Jenny gave her a triumph smirk and continued " I felt his face looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. So at your wedding,... " 

Carla's eyes widened " He was at our wedding?! Who exactly is he?! "

" I got to know later that he was Alexander Hamilton " Jenny sighed. 

Carla's eyes went so huge that they almost popped out of their sockets " Alex is the guy you like?! "

" I didn't say I like him, dummy " Jenny corrected. 

" But you said you couldn't stop thinking about him! " Carla spread out her arms for emphasis. 

" I didn't mean it the way it sounded! " Jenny groaned out in frustration. 

" Yeah sure " Carla teased and laughed. 

" So the man in question is Alexander? Liam's best friend? Wow this is getting interesting " She mused out loud, with a smile playing at the tips of her lips. 

Jenny rolled her eyes " You look happy, it's weird, you know? "

Carla laughed " I do? Maybe it's because there the possibility that you might end up with him "

Jenny's eyes widened in horror " I don't even know him, Jenny! And I don't recollect telling you I wanted a guy in my life, I'm perfectly okay "

" Are you really? " Carla asked rhetorically but Jenny answered her anyway. 

" Yeah I'm okay with my life as it is " Jenny smiled. 

Carla leaned forward " So tell me more, did you two get to talk at the wedding? " 

" Yup " Jenny replied, popping the 'p'. She avoided Carla's eyes totally and let her gaze rest on something else. 

Carla stared at Jenny for a minute and sensed something suspicious. She tilted her chin up so they could maintain eye contact. 

" Something happened between you two, right? Your rosy cheeks is telling me something, I just can't figure out what it is so you must tell me " Carla said firmly, leaving no protest on the side of Jenny. 

Jenny sighed, giving in to her friend's curiosity " As a matter of fact, yes, something did happen between us " 

Carla gave her a reassuring smile " It's fine, cupcake, just be careful. Alex is rumored to be a playboy "

Jenny pinned Carla with her sharp gaze " By telling me, if you're implying that I would fall for his charms, then you're wrong. I don't wanna go down the love lane for now so you don't have to worry about a thing because I'll be fine "

" You can never tell what the future has in store for you, Jenny. Just be careful, Alex is as charming as fuck " Carla said with a laugh. 

Jenny joined her in the laughter " I'll be fine baby, besides he hasn't shown any interest in me yet, so there's nothing to be worried about " 

Carla hummed in reply " With guys, you never know with 'em, you're beautiful so there's no way Alex could have overlooked that "
