Chapter 221 - Are they always like this?
Jean had a wonderful sleep, not at all aware of how hard her boyfriend is struggling to help her. After long years she slept with her grandmother and aunt, she missed it since her childhood and at last got a chance to reminisce that happy times.
Daniel"s girlfriend Sarah Richards will be visiting them for lunch, after Vanessa fainted she got admitted in hospital. It is nothing much serious, she over stressed her mind as well as body and is also diagnosed with less hemaglobin.
Of course, no one knows what was really added in her food, except for that group from previous day.
Adam and Ca.s.sandra decided to stay with her while Thomas left the country for emergency business. It is now like previous times, she, Daniel, her aunt and grandparents are all alone to enjoy with their heart content.
Jean has decided to meet Iris, after their first day they have chatted a little but couldn"t meet each other. Though Jean tried to go to her practice sessions, but due to Scott and his clinginess she couldn"t even wake up from the bed in morning let alone to go out.
When she reached her mentors place. Enric and Iris are already in neck to neck compet.i.tion in combating with each other. So far Rick is leading Iris by two points.
"Someone remembered about us, now," Iris sardonically spoke while she struggled to fight in combat ring with her brother.
"Yep, that "someone" also told me that they will discuss about our new research thesis but couldn"t get time to meet me," Enrick mocked.
Jean rolled her eyes looking at her new friends. They indeed became close to each other, though it has been only two weeks they met. "Well, Iris why don"t we go for shopping later," Jean suggested while doing her warm ups.
"What about our thesis, Jean? Dead line is next month not next year," Enrick mocked her teasingly.
After discussing about their researches for almost every day, they became more casual with each other. They also e-mailed most of their ideas and thoughts to make their work even more elaborate and precise. They are determined to achieve the best researchers award of the year.
"Hmm.. I do remember Rick. We will have to stay in university for at least two weeks during our exams. Then we can work in labs, till then let us share the thesis papers we write when we get time. I am stuck with some other stuff now," Jean shrugged.
He nodded his head and they didn"t talk about it again.
After two hours of practice, Jean won against Iris, but Enric is the tough nut to crack. He won against both the women very easily. Jean wondered who will win if Scott and Enric have the match.
When she is about to go back to Grey"s mansion, she saw a car waiting at the entrance and it looked exactly like her own Ferrari she is using now. Jeff got out from the car as soon as he saw Iris, she sprinted towards him and hugged him tightly while he twirled her around. Iris squealed delightedly and continued kissing him.
Enric rolled his eyes looking at his best friend and sister shamelessly throwing the dog food. For G.o.ds sake he is still single.
"Umm.. Rick, are they normally like this," Jean chuckled. Enric stared at her from up and down and gave a short laugh.
"Always… I mean literally always. I got vexed with their PDA. If it isn"t for Jeff"s grandfather, they would be probably in live-in together relations.h.i.+p by now." He smirked.
"They are cute…" Jean pouted. When she saw them acting all shameless, she could only remember her and Scott"s PDA. Enric resembled Nathan, who use to say the same words to Aria, whenever she complained about the dog food.
Iris dragged Jeff towards Jean and smiled at both of them brightly. But behind her beautiful smile, she hid the indescribable distress and melancholy. Who will introduce siblings to each other, shouldn"t it be a brother introducing his girlfriend to his sister. But here it is just reversed, the most saddest part is either of the siblings don"t know that they share the same blood.
"Jean, my boyfriend Jeff. Honey, meet Jean, my good friend." Iris introduced them.
"Hi, Jean. You don"t know how many times she nagged about you endlessly." Jeff shook his hand and smiled genuinely.
"You are lucky Jeff. Iris talked so high about you." Jean smiled widely.
"I know you very well Jean, you don"t know…" He halted suddenly when Enric hurriedly stopped him from talking further.
"Jeffery, don"t we have to meet your grandpa in three hours. It is getting late…" Enric smiled awkwardly.
If Jeff reveals that he knew Jean very well because Enric use to talk about her, it would be too awkward for both Jeff and Jean to work together.
"Bye, Jean." They all greeted her in unison and left while murmuring about something to themselves.
Jean looked at them confusingly and went back.
Meanwhile.....
"I wish Jean and Jeff will find about the truth soon. We still have to wait to reveal their own relation." Enric kissed his sister"s forehead tenderly.
"I hope so, but more than this I wish they both should be safe." Iris looked at Jeff who is talking to pilot.
"They will be fine, you concentrate on your work first," Enric said and left them alone. He took his own car and left quietly while Jeff and Iris flew back to their country.
"Jeff, didn"t Rick say that you both should meet grandfather," Iris asked while she rested her head on his chest.
"He lied, he don"t want me to talk about Jean," Jeff smirked. "Why didn"t he come with us now, his work here is completed long back," Jeff asked his girlfriend as he caressed her hair lovingly.
"He have other surgery to conduct and he also have to look into matters uncle asked him to. It will take a while." Iris raised her head and kissed him before closing her eyes in exhaustion.
They stayed in each others embrace till they reached their destination. Iris sighed sadly and left for her own house while Jeff went directly to the hospital.
He still have to wait patiently to introduce Iris to his grandparents. She belongs to military family while his grandfather hates the violence after some unknown incidents no one dare to speak in his home.
Is this the mere coincidence that both the brother and sister are struggling in same topic, impressing the Elders.
