I WANT YOU SO BAD (BoyxBoy) | ✔

28. There is no comfort in pain.

JORDAN’S POV

      We all crammed into the lounge seat at the airport.  Our flight wasn’t supposed to arrive for another thirty minutes and I was left looking at Nick longingly. 

     I don’t know if I felt anxious about losing him because of the honeymoon period or I was just paranoid.  Nonetheless, I can’t wait to arrive at their sister’s house and be alone with Nick again.

      I felt eyes on me and turned to see Nick looking at me like I was looking at him a few minutes before.  I gave him a small smile which he returned with a full-teethed one.  His dark grey eyes looked enticing in the stream of sunlight and I found myself getting lost in them.

      There was a retching sound behind me and I turned in horror only to find Amelia fake puking while pointedly looking at us.  I rolled my eyes at her antics.

     “What?  I find your cuteness very disturbing.  And the eyes you send each other’s way is absolutely disgusting.”  But she was smiling while she said it.

     I ignored her and took my phone out only to find there was a missed call and a voice message from an unknown number. 

     Highly on alert, I excused myself from the group and went into the nearest restroom to get some privacy.  Locking myself in a stall, I open the voice mail and heard.

       “Hi my dear Jordan. *an evil laugh* You think you escaped me?  You think your little show of power in the bathroom is brave, you have more things coming for you then.  At first, I thought to just run you away from the internship you highly wanted and tarnish your name a little but now that you have gone rogue, I can’t help but think that you somehow grew a backbone.  Wait and see how fast I destroy you.  But I will wait till you come back from your little vacation to Pittsburgh.  Because I am going to enjoy seeing you go down.”

      All the blood drained from my face as I realized that he knows where I am going.  Was he stalking me?  But after a while concentrating on all the facts, I am sure that he could have pulled out the information from anyone from back at the office because Nick always tells everything. 

      Calming my nerves, I told myself that he would not be stupid enough to get himself into a bigger problem but still, my heart pitter-pattered all around my chest in fear.  Taking a deep breath, I exited the stall and washed my face until some colour returned. 

      Putting on a smile that looked genuine enough I entered the lounge.  Nick was nowhere to be found and it felt like a mild reprieve to not face him so soon.

      “Where is Nick gone?”  I asked after a while when he didn’t return.

      “I don’t know.  He said he was going to look around.”  Amelia muttered and turned her attention to her phone which aggravated Zach more.

     He was trying to get her off of her phone for ten minutes straight and it doesn’t look like she was going to give in. 

     I took my own phone out.

      JORDAN: Where are u??

      I waited a few seconds for a response and immediately one came in.

      NICK: I Will be there in a few.  I have bought you something.

      JORDAN: What did u buy?

      He didn’t respond after that and I let out a heavy sigh and packed my phone back in my pocket.

      Amelia was pestering Zach to give her phone back which he took and she looked around the lounge area and kept her hands on Zach’s thigh enough to render him helpless.  After a few seconds of her brushing her hand on his thigh, she took her phone out of his pocket and dropped it into her fanny pack.
