I returned to the bar at 2am, when Jordan's shift ended.

He smiled as he looked at me. "Let me grab my stuff, then we can go, yeah?"

"Sure, take your time" I nodded.

Seducing him was easy, but he had to actually open up to me. He had to tell me something he never told anyone before.

So he had to actually like me.

That was gonna be a lot harder.

"What are you doing?" Jamie asked as he leaned on the bar. "Thought you weren't interested in him?"

"I am not" I said, leaning a bit closer as well. "Stay out of it though"

"You're going home with him?"

"Yes" I quickly said as I grabbed my purse. "I will see you tomorrow"

"Hey hey" he said as he put his hand on my arm. "Be careful yeah?"

"He is the one that needs to be careful" I winked, kissed his cheek quickly and walked out of the club with Jordan.

"Your place or mine?" Jordan asked as we stepped out of the club.

The hotel would be the safest option, but I also didn't want him to know where I was staying at.

"Your place" I smiled.

"Alright" he nodded, put his hand on my back and guided me to his car. To my surprise, he actually acted like a gentleman.

But I didn't trust him. Heard too many stories about him.
Actually only one, Francesca's side of the story.

A girl I never met before.

"You want something to drink?" He asked as I was walking through his apartment. "Uh, water is fine"

I was so confused by all of it. I was prepared to see a apartment of an absolute fuckboy.

But it was nothing like that. It was clean, cosy even.

I looked at the pictures on one of the cupboards. I guess it was his family.

"That's my brother, his wife and his kids" Jordan said as he pointed at the picture. "They're cute" I said as I looked at the little kids.

So he was an uncle.

"Uncle JoJo" he pointed at himself and shrugged as he laughed. "Cute" I laughed.

I looked at the next picture, it was one of him and Jess, followed by another one where he was standing next to another girl.

The girl looked at him as if he was the love of her life. She literally had stars in her eyes.

"That's Francesca" he said.

My eyes widened a little. This was Francesca?

"An ex?" I asked. "Something like that" he said, put his hand on my back and guided me back to the couch.

This was gonna be a lot more difficult than I thought it was gonna be.
He still liked Francesca, and by the looks of it, she absolutely loved him too.

"Are you okay?" He said as put his hand under my chin and made me look up at him.

"Yeah" I smiled. "I am just tired"

"Do you want me to bring you back home?" He asked.

"No" I shook my head. "I wanna stay with you"

"Then let's cuddle" he said as he took my hand and pulled me to his bedroom. "You want a shirt or something?"

"Yes please" I said as he handed me a shirt and shorts.

I got changed in his bathroom and as I walked out, he was laying in bed, looked up at me with a smile.

"You look so cute" he said as he opened his arms. "Cuddles?"

He never tried to do anything that I didn't want. He didn't even try to kiss me.

And I as I was laying in his arms, I wondered if he was actually such a bad guy.
