Started From The Bottom

Eight

Kai is in the MM on Chapter 1. That's Jordan over there >

Started from the Bottom - 8

Kai reached into the beat up shoe box that sat in her closet and pulled out this month's rent. She was surprised when she realized that after she paid her rent, she'd have 2,000 dollars left over to spend on some real food instead of the generic brands, some more elegant clothes for the fancy dates Jordan has been taking her out on for the past month, and some toiletries so she could look her best in front of him. She had a huge smile on her face as she went to give Mr. Larson his money.  

Mr. Larson answered the door with a grumpy look on his face, but it immediately softened when he laid eyes on Kai. Mr. Larson had no feelings for Kai whatsoever; he's happily married, well at least he was happily married. He and his wife Sheila had gotten into a huge argument a week before and she was filing for divorce, he'd been frustrated and grumpy every day since. But for some reason, Kai made him okay. Maybe it was the dress she was wearing, it wasn't slutty it just fit her body really well. . He knew what she did for a living and he didn't mind as long as he got his money and kept her customers out of his building.  

"Here's your money on time Mr. L," Kai cheered as she handed him 1,000 dollars. Mr. Larson stared at the money for a long time, thinking. He wasn't interested in the money at the moment, he's been frustrated for a while and he's ready to relax, and he figured Kai could help him out with that. 

"Keep the money Kai." Kai looked at him confused. "You want me to keep the money?" Mr. Larson nodded, "Yea, but you've got to help me with this little problem I have first." Kai knew exactly what he wanted, but she wasn't willing to give it up. Jordan was changing her; she hadn't sold herself in 2 weeks; well except for her 1 a.m. deal. 

"Mr. Larson. . . "Kai started as she began backing away. She was getting scared as the humble look Mr. Larson usually had on his face, changed to a dark and sinister one. He advanced towards her and Kai moved until her back hit the wall. Mr. Larson grabbed her arm and started to pull her into his apartment.  

"MR. LARSON PLEASE!" Kai yelled out in hopes that somebody would hear her cry.  

Jordan heard her loud and clear. He dropped the roses he was going to give her and raced up the stairs just in time to see Mr. Larson raise his fist to punch Kai in the face. Jordan bum rushed Mr. Larson to the ground and hit him repeatedly until blood was spewing from his mouth. Jordan got up and rushed over to Kai who was sitting in the corner staring at nothing. She was so used to being raped (even though she got lucky this time) that it didn't faze her.  

Jordan lifted her up off the ground and carried her all the way to his car. "You stayin wit me from now on," Jordan stated as he started his car up. "Wait Jordan, all my stuff is up there," Kai said as she started to get out to go get them but Jordan stopped her. "Don't even worry bout it Kai, I'll get you everything you want and need. You want money? What's mine is yours baby. You want clothes? You got it. You want a gourmet meal? You got it. You want a massage? You got it. You want to be held? You got it. You want to be dicked down? It's yours baby, use it when you please." Kai laughed and wiped away her tears.  

"Thank you Jordan," Kai mumbled as she leaned in and kissed his lips passionately. Jordan pulled away from the kiss with a smile on his face. He was happy that he was finally getting the chance to show Kai how he REALLY feels about her. With his brother out of the way, there will be no distractions.

 ----------------------------------------------------

It had been 2 months since Kai moved in with Jordan, since Kai quit prostituting, since Jordan hired her as a model for his clothing line, and since Jordan and Kai had made it official. They couldn't be happier. They both loved each other to the core, but they hadn't shared those words with each other yet. They didn't have to. They knew exactly how the other felt, and their actions proved it. 

Even though they'd been together for 2 months and was truly in love with one another, they hadn't made love since the day they found out what Geoffrey had done. Kai wanted to wait till they were further along in their relationship. She wanted a break from sex. She wanted to heal.  

Jordan didn't mind though. He didn't mind at all actually, he was more than happy to wait for her as long as she was his forever. Forever wasn't so far away, especially with the plans Jordan had for Kai when she returned home from work. Jordan was more than pleased with the scheme he'd concocted on his day off. He was excited, and in a couple more hours, everything between he and Kai would change.  

Kai was exhausted. She loved the fact that she didn't have to sell her body, but she still did in a way. Since Jordan designed lingerie, Kai had to stay in shape and keep her body at its best so she would look good in his designs. She particularly wanted to look good in the private designs he made and brought home for her to wear for him. They didn't have sex, but she did make sure he was taken care and he did the same for her.  

"Bye Katherine," Kai mumbled to her photographer. She had been here since 6 this morning and she just wanted to sleep. She got in HER car that she bought with HER money and drove home. She got their quickly because she wanted to go to bed with her man. "I like the sound of that," she smiled to herself. She pulled up next to her man's car, and briskly walked into their home.  

"Ba-"She started to call out but was speechless when she glanced around their home. There were candles lit and rose petals all over the floor, and it smelled of her favorite foods. She stood in her spot, shocked at her surroundings. She wasn't expecting this at all. She felt the muscles in her lower region clench when Jordan emerged from the stairs in a black Armani suit with his curls still moist from a shower, his face freshly shaven, and his caramel skin glowing. He slowly approached her and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. Her removed the hair tie from her hair and let it fall freely, he took her coat and purse and placed it on the arm of the couch, he picked her and held her against the wall as he removed her heels then slowly placed her back down, and he lead her up the stairs into their master bathroom.  

Kai smiled at the bathtub filled almost to the brim with hot water and rose petals, the apple pie scented candles that was aligned on the edge of the tub, and the soft music playing from their stereo. "I want you to enjoy yourself in this bath baby, and then I need you to put on that dress I have for you on the bed and join me downstairs," Jordan whispered in her ear then swiftly left the bathroom.  

Jordan went downstairs and finished making dinner for them. He was nervous though. He didn't know how tonight would go. Hopefully in his favor. After he set the table and placed the food on their plates, Kai came down dressed in the beautiful black dress Jordan bought for her today. He sucked in a deep breath when he laid his eyes on her. Kai smiled and strutted up to him. "Thank you baby." Jordan could only nod his voice box out-of-order at the moment. 

He pulled out the chair for Kai then scooted her in, then took his place opposite of her. They made small talk as they ate the delicious food Jordan cooked. Once they were finished, Jordan excused himself to the back. Kai smiled to herself and silently thanked God for leading her to this wonderful man. She never expected to be where she was today, in this moment. And for the first time in a long time, she was truly happy.  

Jordan came back, grabbed Kai's hand and helped her stand up. He then got down on one knee. Kai immediately covered her mouth as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. She really wasn't expecting this.
