Chapter 8

• They got into the cafeteria and Aurora ordered a burger and juice while Jenny ordered hers.
• "Let's go sit over there" Jenny pointed to a free table and Aurora nodded following her over to the table.
• She settled down on the plastic chair and uncorked her mineral, taking a bite from the burger, she closed her eyes to relish the heavenly taste.
• "Are you going to be okay with just that or would you mind joining in my pasta?" Jenny asked pointing at her plate of pasta which aroma was wafting through Aurora's nose.
• Pasta has been her favorite meal ever since she was a kid but she needed to save so she had long stopped buying food other than snacks and juices from outside and she's not a person who would share food with someone especially when she isn't yet familiar with the person.
• She looked down to the pasta which was calling on her to devour, swallowed her saliva then shook her head vehemently as if trying to shake off demons.
• "No, I'm good with this, I don't like food much" she lied and forced out a smile. That was a blatant lie because she knew she love good food more than anything else, well apart from money.
• "If you say so" Jenny smiled and concentrated on her food while Aurora munched on her burger grumpily.
• They soon finished, paid, and returned to the wine bar.
• "You both are 5 mins late" the plus-size woman whose name was Mandy yelled with her coarse voice.
• "We are sorry, the cue there was pretty much so we had to wait for our turn ma'am" Jenny replied her but she scoffed not ready to hear any excuse.
• What are you both still doing here?" Will you quickly go and serve the customers that had been waiting for so long" she shrieked making the girls scamper off.
• "I will see you soon Rora" Jenny muttered with a bright smile which aurora just replied with a fake one and walked away to the table on her lists.

• "Where do I sign out," Aurora asked big Mandy as people call her. "Over here" she replied pointing at her head with an eye roll.
• "What do you mean? So I should sign on your head?" Aurora cried out in frustration. It's way past her closing time but here they were, delaying her, and she was supposed to go pick up her sister.
• "Didn't you see the signing book over there? Must you always display foolishness? Mandy glared making Aurora shake her head.
• She knows why she doesn't want to talk back to Mandy and just keeps quiet with all her abusive words, if not that she needed the money, she would have smacked her on that big lips of hers which are filled with insults.
• She quietly moved over to the book, sign her name, and left to grab her things from the laundry room.
• " Hey Rora wait for me" She heard Jenny call out to her and groaned inwardly.
• "Must you always be grumpy towards people" Aliya, her wolf muttered in her head making her groan out loud.
• "Mind your freaking business and stop meddling in my business" she shrieked and Jenny who had gotten to her widened her eyes and thinking she was the one being referred to, she turned around and tried to leave.
• "Hey Jenny I wasn't talking to you" Aurora yelled out to Jenny who had started shedding tears.
• "But I heard you clearly, you said I should not meddle in your business," she said sniffing back her tears.
• "That wasn't directed to you but someone or rather something else," Aurora said getting Jenny more confused.
• " I am not a thing Rora, I am your wolf and I'm part of you, you can't drive me out and stop referring to me as a thing" Aliya growled.
• "Not when you keep prying your nosy eyes into my business, can't you understand I don't need you and get the hell out of me" Aurora mumbled annoyingly.
• "That won't be possible because you can't exist without me and I can't without you too so you better stop shunning me out and accept me" Aliya cried out in pain.
• Jenny kept staring at the lady who kept mumbling and talking to herself. "Is something wrong with her?" She thought and tapped Aurora who jerked and looked at her, she could see the angry expression written all over her face and wondered if she was the one making her angry.
• "Are you mad at me?" She asked blinking her eyes rapidly. "No, why would I be, I told you I wasn't referring to you," Aurora said softening her gaze when she noticed her expression might have scared Jenny.
• Jenny looked sideways but saw no one else there who the words might be directed to, she sighed her head and decided to wave it off, "maybe someone offended her in the bar" she concluded.
• "Are you going this way?" Jenny pointed and Aurora nodded seeing it was the road that leads to her little Maya's school.
• "Yeah, I am going to pick my little sister at Greenstone junior" she muttered and Jenny who was also going to pick her brother squealed happily. If Aurora's sister also schools there then she would no longer go to the school alone.
• "Why do you look happy? Aurora asked fixing her gaze on the happy lady. " well my brother also happens to attend the same school do we should go together" Jenny replied all smiles.
• "Aurora secretly rolled her eyes wondering why the girl is so happy being around her and it doesn't look like her harsh expressions would ever drive her away.
• She just doesn't feel comfortable around females as they all act so soft and cry a lot just like Jenny did minutes ago when she thought she was driving her away.
• " Alright then let's go" she mumbled and started walking towards the direction of her sister's school with Jenny tagging behind her while trying to raise conversations which she wasn't interested in but trying to reply as to not make the girl feel unwanted.
