Stars - ON HOLD -

Chapter 5. I think....

👑 Skai' s POV 👑

There's a knock at the door. Since the doctors weren't sure whether my wound was life threatening they decided to put me in a private room.
I pull the blankets up towards my chin to protect my dignity, then tell whoever's out there they can come in. It's Jordan. Looking bashful. And holding a bouquet of white roses.

I groan.

"Well, that's a warm welcome," he comments sarcastically and rolls his eyes. I blush.

"No, it is good to see you, it's just... I look like a state."

Jordan murmurs something under his breath.

"What was that?" I say, curious.

"Oh, nothing, really, honestly, nothing," he says hurriedly, and blushes.

DEAR LORD.

HE ACTUALLY BLUSHED.

Good thing he doesn't know I heard what he said. I hide a smile and try to act nonchalant, tossing my hair over my shoulder. That leaves me grimacing as the pain shoots through me.

In an instant, Jordan is at my side. "Are you okay?" he asks frantically. "Should i get the nurse? What can I do? Where does it hurt? What -"

"JORDAN!" I say loudly. He stops, looking like a bunny caught in the headlights.

"Yeah?"

"I'm okay. Jesus.." I mutter.

"Oh." He scratches his head awkwardly, then crosses to my vase and places the flowers inside.

"They're beautiful. Thank you."

"No problem," he said smiling. Aww he's so cute.

Hold your horses.

I don't like him
I don't like him
I don't like him
I don't like him

"So..." He says. "What actually happened?"

"I don't really wanna talk about it," I say quietly.

"I understand." He pulls the seat to beside my bed, and sits down.

There is silence.

"I'm sorry," Jordan says quietly.

"For what?"

"For not getting there fast enough! You could have died, or became seriously injured-"

I cut him off by kissing him. He freezes, surprised, then kisses me back.

"It's not your fault," I whisper, looking him straight in the eyes.

A nurse enters, frowning when she sees Jordan.
"You shouldn't be here," she reprimands. "This patient needs total rest! Who let you in?"

"Well there was no one at the reception desk," Jordan says, one eyebrow raised. "If you didn't want me here, then there should've been someone at the desk, actually doing their job instead of slacking off."

The nurse flames red as I stifle a laugh. Jordan winks at me.

"I mean, seriously," he continues, his sole mission now to make me laugh, "what were you doing? There was literally no one there! My guess, you were Playing strip poker in the back room."

That's it, the floodgates open and I burst out laughing. The angry nurse turns to me, glaring. Jordan grins, and takes that as his cue to leave.
The infuriated nurse goes to turn back to him, but he's no longer there. She is still beetroot red.
"Hmmph!!" She sighs madly, and bustles out of the room. I smile.

I think I'm falling in love.
