Eyes Behold

36. Be mine ?

Jordan just couldn't breathe . Rose slowly made her way out of the washroom, her face down , hidden from all.

The room was completely silent. One could even hear the blood flowing in their ears. Everyone was waiting for Rose to react .

Rose's shoulders started shaking , slowly first and then vigorously. Jordan sucked in a deep breath. His worst nightmare was right in front of him . He always wanted Rose to be smiling and happy and if possible , because of him. His worst fear was seeing tears in those precious eyes and to see them because of him just added onto the perch. But before he could say any further, he heard her voice.

Rose lifted her face slowly while putting her hand on his forearm and started chuckling and then slowly the chuckle turned into laughter , full blown laughter.

The already silent room was now filled with her vibrant laughter , nothing else. Everyone was stunned to silence. Even in this situation Jordan couldn't help but be marveled and get lost in her laughter . He immediately snapped out and took her hand in his tugging at it.

Rose glanced up at him , tears brimming her eyes from excessive laughing .

" Th-they thought w-we ... Oh god !!!" She couldn't stop laughing.

Amelia had had enough. She had half a mind to go smack some sense in Rose. How could she behave like this after seeing Jordan with someone, hand-in-hand while he was leading her on?

Rose finally composed herself.

" They thought we are to-together ? " She managed before she started laughing again clutching her stomach while squeezing Jordan's hand .

Jordan sighed . At least she wasn't crying or upset. The rest were stunned again . All this while this girl had been able to stun the whole room full of probably some of the most talkative people of the universe into complete utter silence.

They immediately took out their phones and looked at the picture showing a masked Jordan holding the hand of a girl tugging her to cross the road when a black car just managed to hide the view of the girl .

But now when they looked closely , they could see the girl's one leg partially , her knee covered by what seemed to be a polka dot skirt and her hair , that covered her face were remarkably long and jet black . They had even managed to miss her signature bracelet on her wrist , the one her little brother Christof gave her. She was indeed Rose .

Now the whole gang was completely embarrassed, they had thought that Jordan was cheating on her . Agreed that weren't together but even a blind could sense the chemistry between the love birds. They were livid when they saw the news that morning. If Jordan was cheating on their Rose, celebrity or not , he would have been dead .

Jordan finally came in terms with the situation.

" So, you are not mad at me ?"

Rose who was still recovering from her session earlier glanced at him confused .

" What do you mean ?"

" You are not mad .. I mean are you not ... Ughh !!"

She kept a hand on his and held it .

" Say it Jord"

He immediately relaxed and looked into her eyes . He didn't see any saddness , regret or anger in them . He just saw the beautiful sea green blue and tinge of mustard staring back at him. Beautifull he thought .

" You are not upset with the comments?"

" Comments ?"

Jordan immediately stiffened . He thought she had already seen them . He didn't want to be the one to reveal that to her. They were stupid comments, completely stupid and hurting . He didn't want her to be hurt because of her.
