Eternal Love - Secret Part 1

"I am really impressed by the way you expressed yourself on the saxophone just now. In fact, I think I am more shocked than impressed. I did not expect myself to have a classmate of such high calibre. Well Jamie, I am not trying to be modest here but I really think, from the bottom of my heart, that my saxophone skills are incomparable to yours," Ken confessed as Jamie looked at him embarrassingly.

"Well, I think you are a great saxophonist too. If you are a nobody, not a single soul will be willing to spend their time on you. If you are not talented, why were you crowned "America's Brightest Talent" on national television? Voters and judges do not confer the title to any Tom, Dick and Harry. In other words, you are a special individual," praised Jamie as Ken looked at her sheepishly.

"Let us not fight for honours here. My stomach is grumbling and I need to replenish the energy lost during the Open House. Dinner will be on me," Ken offered.

"Here you are. Do you mind if you brew a cup of coffee for me? It is perfectly fine if you do not wish to," asked Ken.

Jamie hesitated for a moment before inviting Ken into the house.

"Oh my, what a beautiful house. Look at the chandeliers. I presume you have to waste a large proportion of your time maintaining that ball of crystals over there," Ken said as he pointed to the 2 chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

"Jamie, what is in this room? There are...."

"Sorry Ken, that room is out of bounds to guests. And I guess you should go home now," Jamie interrupted Ken as she ushered Ken out of the house.

"But...but..."

"Shut up and get lost!"

Jamie slammed the door shut on Ken as a puzzled Ken jumped. Ken had no clue as to why Jamie reacted in that manner.

"Jamie, I did not know you are such an inhospitable girl. I was just exploring the house, and I did not know that exploring the interior of your house would leave you fuming and incensed. Your fiery attitude that you had shown me just now is a total contrast to the attitude that you have shown to the class, or even to the teachers in school," Ken shouted across the door as Jamie, who was on the other side of the door, rolled her eyes before storming away.

"How dare he lecture me! Who is he to explore my house. Does he not know that it is rude, impolite and disrespectful to explore the house without the owner's permission? Well, he thinks that he can do whatever he wants since he is famous now," mumbled Jamie under her breath as she entered that secretive room.
