chapter twenty-six: move in day

Nova

"I think that's the last of it."

I roll my eyes, cross my arms, and turn my body the opposite direction so nobody else will witness the mood I'm in. I'm happy for my boyfriend I really am it's just that...he's going to be three hours away. This is a drastic change because I'm use to seeing Jordan everyday and I just know I won't be able to hug him or kiss them.

It might be insecure of me to say this, but I'm worried. Just from the multiple trips we took from the truck to Jordan's room, I counted seven girls give Jordan the look and talk knoe what look I'm talking about. I trust Jordan I really do, but I am a girl meaning I know how girls operate when they really want something.

"What's wrong? And don't tell me it's nothing."

Turning around I see Jordan leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"I'm just having a hard time accepting all of this."

"Awww baby come here."

I plant my face straight into his chest and inhale his scent. I'm going to miss his hugs everyday.

"It's only a year and then we'll be together in Michigan. Also I'll be coming back home often and will be back in town for holidays. Just think of this as like a vacation, plus I think it's good that we are spending sometime away from each other."

I took no offense from his last sentence because I know what he means. As of lately the two of us have been showing signs of codependency on each other. I think us not being around each other that often will be good for our relationship.

"I feel like there's something else on your mind though."

I look down playing with my fingers. The thought I'm logged in my esophagus like a pill that was swallowed wrong.

"These girls here Jordan...they want you and they'll do everything in their power to get you."

"And who said I want them."

I finally make eye contact with him to see that stupid smirk that always makes my heart race.

"I've already have the girl of my dreams in the palm of my hands now why would I do anything to mess that up. You don't trust me?"

"I don't trust you it's just the people around you I don't trust."

I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but some of Jordan's new teammates are screaming playboy persona. I just don't want their behaviors to influence his. As his girlfriend I should have enough trust that he wouldn't do anything crazy.

"Like Jaren said earlier he'll make sure I stay in line and be your eyes here."

"Ok."

"You trust me?"

"Yes."

"Ok and I trust you, now give me a kiss."

He puckers his lips and I couldn't help but laugh because his new braces make him look like he has fish lips. I'm going to miss my man. Once we pull away he places his hand on the small of my back.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Jordan move over."

"Baby I'm literally on the edge of the bed that's the maximum room you're gonna get."

I decided to spend the night in Jordan's new dorm, since Jaren said he's going to spend his final night with his parents. His school had a bonfire to kick off for the new school year and I really had a lot of fun. I met some new people and I feel more comfortable with Jordan being here, but still you never know.
