what are we? ~ Jordan Riki

'1'

Amaia and Kahu are going down home to Christchurch New Zealand where Amaia and her family are from and were raised. Amaia and Kahu are going for the whole holidays! 

3 suitcases, 1 carry on, heaps of money, 4 hour flight later..

The whole plane ride is chill, Kahu was fine and so was Amaia. The landing is fine and everything is perfect so far, we're all getting off the plane and heading into the airport, I walk up to the sliding door and it automatically opens, I see all my family standing there I smile as they notice me and Kahu I quickly jog over to them with Kahu on my hip we all greet each other with hugs and cheek kisses, even high fives from the younger shy kids. The suitcases come out on the conveyor belt, I grab all three as some of my cousins take them from me we all walk outside to the car park.

Heaps of people squished into a family van was not my ideal way of getting home but it's just like the old days so I'm not complaining!

We all get to my old house (parents house) we knock on the door then let ourselves in, surprise more family...! We all greet each other the same way I greeted everyone else in the airport but some of the elders coming in for a Hōngi (for those who don't know what a 'Hōngi is it's like nose to nose idk how to describe it yall 😭) being home means, drinking, loud music, friends and more family over, family friends over! And so much more to expect. It doesn't take long till it's 6:30 pm, just the right time to get the Barbecue out, the chilly bin and fill it with different kinds  of alcohol, people getting invited over and ect

Fast forward 2 hours...

A few hours go by and heaps of people are here, everyone's outside but the kids their all inside playing in the rooms or watching the rugby with some of the uncles, I'm sitting outside on the deck in a camping chair drinking a Blue Raspberry Vodka Cruiser laughing and chatting, when all of a sudden I hear 'here comes pretty Riki!' With a familiar loud laugh my attention is completely focused on who's laugh that is..Jordan's here. What's he doing here?!

 I see his mum dad and siblings walk next to him. That's why he's here, but why is he HERE in Christchurch?! Honestly I see enough of Jordan in Kahu..their identical the same smile, hair, dimples, nose, face shape gosh..I turn around and my cousins are already snickering and laughing. "Shush bro! What is he doing here?!" 

They don't even answer they just shrug and keep laughing, I open the door to go inside honestly I don't want to be around him. I sit down on the couch as Kahu makes his way to me to sit on me, he looks absolutely wrecked as if he could fall asleep right now. I put the drink down and let his head rest on my chest as I play with his soft curly brunette hair.

 I hear the door open and I look up. It's Jordan. We make really awkward eye contact before he breaks it to look down at Kahu I look down to and grab my phone and act as if I was looking at it before "is he just gonna stand there..?" I think in my head as he just stands there and 'looks' around, all of a sudden he pipes up "S- I- uh..where's the bathroom again..?" Jordan says awkwardly. I look up at Jordan and point down the hall "just down there the first door on the left." I say

 He nods and walks past as I roll my eyes, it feels weird talking to him. I get up slowly so I don't wake Kahu up but I fail miserably, he wakes up and I groan softly and place him on the couch so I can make him a bottle in the kitchen but he just follows me crying saying "mummy..!" In a whiney voice

Jordan comes back out and sees me in the kitchen with Kahu behind me tugging on my jeans "Kāhurangi cut it out!" I say to Kahu as he turns around with a pout on his face just like Jordan's with tears on his cheek, Jordan sees him and REALLY sees the way he looks, just like Jordan. 

I finish his bottle and I turn around to give it to Kahu but I see Jordan standing there examining his looks I smile awkwardly pressing my lips together as I get down to Kahu's height and I give hike the bottle "Haere boho ki runga i te moenga."  (That means go sit on the couch in Māori), Kahu goes up to the couch and sits down in the corner of it. 

Jordan watched him go sit down but I'm looking at Jordan "shit when did he get so good looking..?" I think to myself he's wearing a YOUKNOW clothing hoodie and black cargo jeans, I quickly shake the thought out of my head but it's sorta hard..He grew his hair out and he looks ALOT taller..I think..Even if Jordan's not looking at me.

 The silence is awkward so I clear my throat "Soo..how you been..?" I say as Jordan turns his head to look at me 

"Yeah..uh..I've been good, what about you?" Says Jordan honestly I was surprised he even answered, I nod "That's good, I've been good.." I say awkwardly as we kinda just look around before my best friend Hirini walks inside and see's me and Jordan, one of her eyebrows raise as I shrug at her, I walk past Jordan leaving him in the kitchen to go to Hirini.

JORDANS POV!!!

Holy shit, it's been forever since I've seen her she's changed a whole lot. I mean it has been 4 years I guess..She still wears that perfume she always wore gosh. But that little boy..is that our son..?
