Chapter 18 Not A Good Morning
Evelyn
When I descended the stairs, little did I know that my entire morning was about to be ruined.
Amongst Clara, my dad, and Jacob, my eyes were immediately drawn to the presence of Gloria-the painfully unpleasant woman. And to make matters worse, she was seated right beside Jacob. What intensified my burning jealousy was witnessing Jacob engaging in a comfortable conversation with her, just as my dad and Clara were.
What in the world was wrong with that man?
"Evelyn, try not to glare at him as if you're plotting to extract his kidneys," Mason's voice whispered in my ear, his tone low. "Trust me, you don't want anyone to catch on to your jealousy."
"Why the fuck he is talking to her? What's he trying to do? Let her suck his dick?!" I whisper-yelled, my eyes did not move an inch from the scene.
"How would I know? I can't comprehend the thought process of straight men," he shrugged, nonchalantly.
"Evie, it's possible that he's simply trying to avoid awkwardness. After all, he can't just curse and shout at her with so many people around. She's also a guest, and he probably doesn't want to ruin the situation," Nancy reasoned, "Just try to calm down."
"I don't give a damn. I don't want to see that woman anywhere near him," I seethed through gritted teeth.
"Don't be so possessive, naughty girl," Jennie purred.
"Yeah, have some faith in your uncle," Mason chimed in.
Uncle? What the hell?!
"What did you just say?" My jaw clenched, and my hands clenched into fists by my sides. I was ready to strike him at any moment.
He glanced at my clenched fists, a sheepish smile appearing on his lips. "Uh...never mind."
"You better not say anything!" I nearly shouted, but my attention quickly turned to Gloria, who seemed to be shamelessly ogling Jacob's tattoo. "That damn woman! Her entire existence revolves around sex!" "And yours seems to revolve around Jacob Adriano," Mason whistled softly.
This idiot.....
"You dickhead! Shut the hell up, will you?!"
"Okay, fine. Don't scream like a rabid dog," he retorted, his brows furrowed.
I was on my way to yell again when I got interrupted by Nancy.
"Guys, calm down." Nancy cringed, making a lowering motion with his hands, "What y'all tryna do? Do you want them to hear us?"
