Janet's P. O. V

"You need to stop sneaking up on me!"

I turn around and get surprised to see Steven standing there. Fear  took over my senses and my entire body is in attack mode. I turned around to find him before breathing a sigh of relief. I yell at him and he furrows his brow at me.

This part of the park is mostly isolated and it's already dark, hence I get all the more paranoid.

He gives me a dumbfounded look before rolling his eyes. "Please tell me you didn't get scared."

"It's dark and there is no one around here. I'm sitting alone with my sister and then I hear someone uproaching us. No, I'm not scared at all," I reply sarcastically.

I turn around and put Kiara's arm around my shoulder and lift her up with me. I try to stand. I make it half way up with wobbling legs before they give away.

"Ow!" I yell and pain starts erupting in my lower back because of the impact of the fall. Kiara falls with me too but her head lands on my leg and she rolls slightly before sleeping still again.

Thank god Kiara is a heavy sleeper and currently drunk.

I look to see Steven looking at me with a raised eyebrow and a full blown smile. Even though I hate to admit it, his smile is drool worthy. A kind that would make you want to smile back at him.

I would have smiled back but I controlled my urge because for now, he is mocking me with it. I narrow my eyes at him and pout slightly. He starts walking towards me with his arms crossed on his chest.

"You're still not going to ask me for help?"

"No."

I jut my chin out stubbornly and repeat the process of picking Kiara up again. This time she squirms a little and I try to pick her up a little more carefully.

I go a little beyond halfway before I lose my balance. I'm about to tumble and fall but Steven steps ahead and puts his arms around us.

His one hand is on my waist and the other one is around Kiara's. My nose is buried into his arm and I'm loving it because he smells absolutely amazing but since he is my enemy and smelling your enemy is weird I step back.

I move back to stand straight and he withdraws his arm from my waist and carries Kiara up bridal style. She snuggles in his hold, still fast asleep. He smirks at her before looking up at me expectantly.

I look away and look everywhere but at him. A few moments pass just like that with him staring at me and me ignoring him before he decides to get on my nerves again.

"It's called Thank you baby, that's what you should say when people help you."

"I'm not a baby."

He scoffs and shakes his head."You are and you proved it again by sticking to your unnecessary useless childish ego. Such a baby thing to do."

I frown harder at him if that's even possible. I don't know if I'm over reacting or no but right now, he is making me very angry. I grind my teeth and close my fists, trying to contain back the fury.

I start counting backwards to control it."10 9 8 7 6-"

He gives me a dumbfounded look before cutting me off."What are you doing?"

I start again."10 9 8 7-"

"Are you done with your childish drama?"

"Shut the fuck up will you?" I yell and stomp my foot. I scream in frustration before walking off from there.

Definitely over reacting but like I said, he is making me very angry and I have no idea why.

I start walking ahead and I hear footsteps following me. I take a few calming breaths, trying to bring my adrenaline and heart beat back to normal.

"Did you know him, this Trevor Hunt guy?" he asks me and just like that, my irritation comes back.

"You were eve's dropping? You have-" I start off but this time he cuts me off.

"I heard someone crying Janet. That's why I came to see what's wrong. Will you like not judge me for a minute here? Besides, the lecture about eve's dropping doesn't sound pleasant coming from you, since you did the same thing with me."

He yells and starts walking ahead, leaving me frozen on my place. I open my mouth to say something but it seems like the cat got my tongue. I blink twice before realising he has started walking.

I run to catch up with him."No I didn't know him. She met him when I was not around."

"Okay."

Just like that there is silence around us. Only the noise of the wind blowing past the trees and the sound of old leaves crushing under our feet.

"Why were you asking about him?" I ask and he just shrugs.

"Just."

Again there is silence for some time before he decides to break it.

"How are you two related? You'll don't look alike..." he trails off and I chuckle at his awkwardness.

"Offcourse we are not! I'm Janet Samuels and she is Kiara Adams. Our mother's were sisters."

He stops and he looks at me like I just declared I'm pregnant. I stopped and turned. He just gave me a blank look like the wheels in his head were turning very fast. I went ahead and snapped my fingers in front of his face and he blinked before shaking his head slightly.

"Her parents are Edward and Darla Adams?" he asks me and I nod.

"Yeah, you're right. Kiara is daughter of Edward and Darla Adams, famous doctor and lawyer of the city."

He nods his head slowly, like he is trying to understand something very complex in his head. We are out of the park now and have almost reached Kiara's car.

Today's talk is the most civil talk I have had with him and I guess he is not that bad after all. But still, working with him is going to be difficult because it's clear that he is the kind that keep to themselves. Maybe that's why he was so rude to me for these days because he was being forced to work with me, which is something he is not comfortable with.

"You know Steven, if you don't want to work with me for the drama club, it's fine. I'll do the work and tell Mrs McCartney that you did your share. I don't want to force you to work with me since you're so clearly uncomfortable around people," I voice my thoughts and he turns to me with wide eyes before shaking his head rapidly.

"No no, I don't want anything like that. I want to stay."

My mouth open and closes like a fish. To give him a baffled look and he clears his throat before continuing.

"What I mean is I don't want to fall in trouble if we get caught. So I might as well just get this done and over with. I will assist you," he explains and we reach the car.

I nod my head in understanding despite of my confusion.

He suddenly changes his mind when I'm giving him the chance to walk out of it? Why would he do that?

He place Kiara in the car while I get into the driver's seat.

"And Janet, I suggest we do the script that I selected."

"Which one did you select? The one with the eye doodle?" I slip out and immediately regret it because his expression immediately changes.

"I guess."

"Okay, I'll go through it. See you tomorrow," I bring the car to life and drive away after waving him goodbye. The particular question still not leaving my mind,

Why does he want to stay?
