Eyes Behold

37. HIS

Rose looked back into his eyes still stunned by his words . She wasn't completely oblivious to his emotions . She knew he was affected by her , heck everyone knew this . But to this level ? No , she never knew this .

She liked him, no , she loved him , but never thought he would like her back. It was still so surreal.

She searched his eyes for any kind of mischief , any kind of regret for what he just said , for any kind of hesitation , any doubt , but she found none . She found only adoration , truth and what was it , love ?

' No no , that can't be . Ha ! I'm overthinking.' she said to herself.

Getting no response from her Jordan started panicking inside. He hadn't thought twice before saying this but now , now he wasn't so sure about it anymore. But still he kept calm on the outside and Rose who was completely oblivious of the storm brewing inside him felt his hands slipping from her face.

She immediately held it and looked at him who was looking at her carefully, observing everything. Rose , had no reason not to trust him. He had done nothing to make her think twice when she looked in his eyes and said.

" Yeah Jord. " She whispered with a small smile adorning her mouth and the end of her eyes tearing up. She quickly wiped them off and groaned.

" Why do I always have to cry ?" She stomped her foot. This broke Jordan out of his trance as his smile widened threatening to cut his face into two .

He immediately hooked his arms behind her back and lifted her up twirling her around as Rose hooked her legs on his waist resting her hands on his shoulder . She let her head fall back and giggled. Jordan glanced up at her smiling and chanting a thousand 'thank yous' .

Rose kept her head on his chest as she sighed contently . Jordan let her stand back on the floor and hugged her to his chest again still not able to come in terms with the truth.

Rose was his now , finally. He sighed completely contended wrapping his arms around her lovingly . He felt as if he had won every struggle of his life. This was one of the best moment in their life.

Claire who had entered the still open door saw them eyes closed standing in each other's embrace and quietly snapped a picture before backing off slowly. She was so happy for her friend , so so happy .

She was still smiling at the picture when Carlos called her from behind . She turned , a large smile on her face and ran towards him taking him into a large embrace. Carlos being the taller one had to lift her up but Claire cared less . She was just that happy and Carlos wasn't complaining too. He just closed his eyes enjoying the moment for as long as it lasted.

Carlos was still in the moment when she pulled back as she saw Amelia . She ran towards her barely keeping herself from screaming. As she just finished telling her what she saw , the door to Rose's room opened . Both the overexcited girls glanced over hopping on their places barely keeping themselves from squeezing the life out of her.

Rose who still had a slight blush on her face was followed by a calm looking Jordan but a look into his eyes and anyone would think he had just won the world. Rose looked up at the two idiots and she instantly knew she didn't need to spill the beans , they already knew it. Her cheeks flamed at the thought as an amused Jordan chuckled slightly at her . She tried to scowl at him but couldn't hold back her smile.

She looked at Carlos who was busy looking at Claire and then shifted to Ryder who had just come out of Amelia's room . Seeing her gaze , Amelia blushed. This was when Catherine entered and took in the scene .

" Oh ! Tonight is definitely a girl's night . I need to get many people to spill the beans . Seems like I'll be the only single one soon seeing all of you have already paired up . " She scowled.
