"Good morning beautiful " Jordan said kissing my shoulders
.
"Morning handsome" I said turning to face him on bed then he started dropping kisses on my face and I giggle

Well, Jordan is my best friend, or should i say my sex buddy. We weren't like this at first, we were best friends or more like siblings.

When I was young, I went through tough times and well, I got pregnant. That year, I remember it like yesterday when my mother found out. She threw me out of her house and that's when I met Jordan.

Jordan was a first year university student, he saw me crying at the roadside and came to talk to me. It was not easy to talk to me but he used his charms and finally I opened up to him.

That day, he took me in, I was living with him in his dorm. He stayed with me secretly. He wasn't rich, his parents weren't rich but he took care of me. He was like a big brother.

That year Jordan worked multiple jobs so that he could provide for us. He did his best until he found the money to pay rent and we left the dorms and went to live in a small apartment.

He even helped me enroll back to school and I decided to work part-time while I study, to help with the expenses.

Everything was okay that's until one time, we accidentally slept together. It was awkward at first because I saw him as a brother but later, we kept going on and on.

It wasn't a bad thing because I was happy and he was happy. And also we were both adults at that time.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't in love with him but I felt safe. I felt like even if I trip he will catch me. He will never let me fall. He was a good man that every woman wants to have.

But what I didn't know was that, Jordan has fallen in love with me.  He was hopelessly in love that couldn't bare to say no to me.

Years went by and we were still living and sleeping together. Jordan graduated and he quickly got a job. I was happy for him.

I also graduated and yeah, my first job was at Jared's company. That is the only job I ever had.

So to cut the story short, Jordan was transferred to England where the company he was working for, opened a new branch. He wanted us to go together but I refused. I was already starting to put my life together, so I wasn't ready to go somewhere and start a knew.

Little did I know, was that Jordan had planned all our lives together. But things went down the drain the day he proposed to me. I was shocked, I didn't even know that we had something serious, all I thought was that we were having fun.

I broke his heart. And he left me here going to England seven years ago. We couldn't talk for two years but then he came back.

And we tried dating but failed. We kept trying until he got mad, like really mad at me because I was taking advantage of his love for me, and he left me again a year ago.

But, I called him again yesterday. After a year of silence and here he is, on my bed again.

Yesterday, we didn't have sex. I just wanted his warmth, so he cuddled me till morning without asking questions.

"Lysa, are you okay?" He asked

"I am more than okay" I said sitting on the bed

"You wanna talk about it?"

"About what?"

"The reason you called after a year?"

"There is no reason silly, I missed you that's all" I said hitting his chest playfully but he wasn't having that.

"You're not gonna play that card with me, aren't you? Babygirl, I know you and right now, you seem stressed. Talk to me"

Okay Jordan, I've slept with my boss, who I'm crushing on. And sadly he doesn't feel the same way. So here I am trying to start something with you which we both know that it won't last even a month. Does he really want to hear this? No.

"Work is stressing me out" I lied "but I missed you. Really"

He looked at me for a moment before he got defeated "fine, go shower. I will drop you at the office"

I nod and went straight to the bathroom.  I came out smelling a delicious aroma of pancakes. He made me breakfast. I wish I could love him back. He is a keeper.

I got ready quickly then have breakfast and a few minutes later, we were at my office building.

"So, see you tonight?" Jordan said

"Yes, make reservation. I might be busy to do so" I said

"I will" he replied

We are finally going on our first date. I was very determined this time. Better be with someone who value me than that arrogant bastard.

I got out of the car wanting to go inside but then I saw him, the one person that makes my heart jump. Our eyes met and I panicked.

"Jordan" I called, he was ready to leave but he turned to listen to me. I didn't have anything to say so I lean in and kiss his lips "I love you"

"I know. And I love you too" he gave me a big smile before leaving.

I turn to look Jared's way and he wasn't there. I sighed in relief before taking steps towards the building.

"Allysa-" a familiar voice called me and I halt "thank God I found you. I was looking for you everywhere"

"What do you want?" I asked with anger

"Are you still angry at me? But I'm still your mom-"

"Stop it, I don't have parents" I gripped her hand "leave and don't look for me" I pushed her away before walking past her

"It's Amara" she shouted and I halt again "she is sick, even if you can't forgive me, she has done nothing to you. Please help her" she cried

It took me everything I had to continue walking because since that day, I buried my past and everything comes with it. Including them.

"Please help your sister" she shouted but I walked away

After all, Amara is not my sister. She is that man's daughter.
