When We Meet Again (Kiani)

Twenty One

{Jordan's pov}

I walked back into the restaurant after giving Will an answer he wasn't expecting and will never forget.

"Jordan!" my boss, Reggie, called. "That was quite the show! Glad you could join us! "

I rolled my eyes, "Oi! Clam it, Reg. I was on break, that's my time. I can suck off my boyfriend if I want to."

He laughed for a while before going serious. "Seriously, Jor," he started.

"It's Jordan." I snapped, "Only certain people can call me Jor." by certain people I meant Will but he didn't know that.

"Sorry Jordan." he said, rolling his eyes, "Anyway, I hope you're not toying with that poor guy like you've done with all those other guys." he paused, "and girls."

I raised my eyebrows, "What are you talking about Reg?" I asked.

He sighed and looked me in the eyes, "You treated them like royalty. Then all of a sudden you decided they weren't good enough for you and you just dropped them like they were actually nothing." he said.

I opened my mouth to tell him he was bat crazy when he cut me off, "And don't try and bullshit me saying that Will's different." He stopped and stared at me.

"Because that's what you said about Daniel, Maclean, Katie, Anna, Sam, Amanda, Michael, Luke, Shawn, Becky, Elizabeth, Lizzy, Frank, and Sammy. And after a month with each one you dropped them like trash."

I rolled my eyes, "But you see, Reg. Will is different. We've been through a lot together. We get each other. We were together for a long time before shit hit the fan. And now I finally have him back. I won't let him go." I sighed, "I love him."

Reg turned around to leave, but over his shoulder he said one last thing. "Jordan." he said, "That's exactly what you said about Ryan."

"What are you saying?" I challenged.

He turned to face me once again, "Because you lost Ryan you're trying to fill the void. That's where Will comes in."

I shook my head, "No. H-he's not. I-I love him. I know I do. I feel at h-home with him." I stuttered.

Reg shot me a sad look, "Jordan. I've seen how you look at him. How you treat him. You treat him like he's a king-"

I cut him off, "Because he is one." I said.

Reggie glared at me, "It's exactly how you treated Ryan."

Before I could protest he spoke again, "And before you try and convince me otherwise, prove to me that this one is different. That he's not just another pawn in Jordan's game of life. That he's not another Ryan."

He turned and left me standing there. I stared at Will through the order window behind the cash register.

'Oh, Jordan.' the voice chimed in, 'is he really important to you? Or is he just another Ryan?"
