Show Me Love (The Wanted)

Chapter Eight

~

☆Tom's POV☆

~

I felt a little hurt by Jordyn's answer when I asked her to dinner. I actually thought we had shared a lot of fun times since she had moved in.

I tried to hide my feelings as we got ready to go to our nationally televised interview.

"Come on, boys. We should have left ten minutes ago." Jordyn called. I cleared my throat and fixed the tie on my monkey suit before brushing past her. "Wait, Tom... can we talk?"

"...sure." I said, waving my hand. I walked over to the kitchen area to find food. She followed behind.

"I didn't mean to offend you earlier... I just-"

"No, no. It's perfectly fine. Don't worry about it. You know what? Let's pretend it never even happened." I said dryly. She looked taken aback.

I hadn't even gotten the chance to admire how beautiful she looked. I had never seen her wear anything fancier than jeans and a t-shirt. But now she was in a purple skirt and a white blouse with heels. (I didn't know what kind of heels).

"Tom." She sighed.

"Forget it, okay, Jordyn?" I said, ending the conversation and walking away. I shoved a piece of gum in my mouth to keep from turning around and merely begging on my hands and knees for her to give me a chance.

☆Jordyn's POV☆

~

I sat in boredom as the boys performed at their interview. I was stuck in the dressing room all alone.

I felt like Tom was acting like a jerk about the situation. If he would just listen to me, he'd know that I liked him too.

I checked my phone to see it was almost nine. At nine thirty I was sneaking out to meet with... him. Or they.

I wouldn't exactly know.

The time passed by slowly while I listened the boys answer questions about who had a bigger dick. Finally, at nine thirty I snuck out. The security is much more calm to let people out of the building than in.

I hailed a taxicab and gave the driver the address of the diner I was supposed to be at.

On the way, I sent Nathan a text message that I was feeling sick and went back to the hotel so he wouldn't worry about me.

I had the keyboard memorized so it only took a few tries to type the words that I wanted to.

If Nathan and the boys went back to the hotel before realizing I might be somewhere else, I had more time to speak with the person, or people, who were blackmailing me.

My phone buzzed and I looked to see it was a call from the unknown number.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Where are you?" A rough voice asked me.

"I'm on my way now. Geez, calm yourself." I muttered. "It's only nine fifty and we agreed on ten."

"Just get here soon." He growled before hanging up. I shook slightly in fear. He couldn't do any real damage in a public place.

"Here we are, ma'am." The driver said, pulling over right outside the diner. I gave him the money I owed and hopped out, going in to the diner.

I shrieked when a cold hand grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side. I turned to see an extremely attractive man smiling at me.

"You almost walked into that waiter." He chuckled, nodding towards a waiter guy carrying six full plates.

"Oh... thank you." I said politely.

"Are you here alone?" He asked me.

"Actually, no. I'm meeting some... friends." I covered. "How about you?"

"Meeting my brother and his friends." He replied, looking around. "By the way, my name is Alex."

"I'm Jordyn." I smiled.

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He complimented. I blushed. I had never actually been flirted with before.

"Thank you... that's so sweet." I couldn't help my smile from growing bigger.

"Maybe we could come back here and have dinner together?"

I paused to think. Alex was extremely nice and handsome and looked about my age. But I had just rejected Tom.

"Hey, I see my brother. Here's my number. Maybe we could meet up soon?" He wrote his number on one of the diner's business cards and handed it to me. He stepped closer to me and kissed my cheek. "Bye, Jordyn."

I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, gazing after Alex as he walked over to a table with huge big burly men staring at me...

Wait, what?!

No...

They weren't...

Alex was part of the gang.

The man I basically agreed to go to dinner with was in the gang that was trying to kill me.

Isn't that just lovely.
