He's My Boss

XVI.

This whole fake engagement has took off. It only took 1 night for everyone to find out about it and when I say everyone I really do mean everyone! It was the top story on my Apple News app, TMZ, Today, Dish Nation, magazines, radio show, whatever you can think of- we were on it. Of course my family saw it, they blew up my phone so bad! I have people I haven't heard from since I was a toddler hitting me up trying finesse their way into our "wedding". Now I have more work to do because everyone wants an interview with the newly engaged millionaire. Now we're sitting in my living room with Amani, my mom Jackie, Jordan and Tony.

"Ooo, I love the beach theme!" Tony said showing my mom a catalog.

My mom nodded her head. "Yes! That would be beautiful, what about in Malibu?"

"Girl! You took the words right out of my mouth."

"Great minds think alike!"

"We don't have to plan this out right now. We should wait a while, it's still new." Jordan said trying to get away from the subject.

I sat up. "He's right, like next year! Don't you thi-"

"Next year? Are you crazy? That is too far away, I want some grand babies by next year." My mom said sternly.

Jordan choked on his water. "Excuse me, what? We're moving to fast, let's just fake this this never happened and bring this up in some months."

"What are you trying to say Jordan, you don't want to get married? This is not a joking matter Jordan Calloway!" Tony said shaking her head.

"I agree with him, this is too much to handle. Also, he has so much work to do with Loveship, Snapchat, and his new app." I said trying to talk them out of it.

"This is true guys! You shouldn't pressure them into marriage." Amani said.

"Why aren't you guys living together?" My mom said pushing what she said to the side.

"I like my privacy mom, you know that!" I said looking around my house.

"How are you guys gonna get married and you want privacy. When you 2 tie the knot that privacy will be down the drain."

"I can't like that one, I need my privacy."

"You remind me of Jacob, he felt the same way about his personal life." Tony said cracking a smile.

"Mom!" Jordan said sternly looking at Tony.

"You still haven't told your future wife about you late brother? You can't keep this a secret Jordan, it's gonna eat way at you!"

"Can you stop mom, for real! I don't want to talk about this right now!"

"You never want to talk about it, it's been 3 whole years! You haven't talked to anyone about it!"

"Well let it remain that way, stop trying to make me talk about it. That's never gonna happen!"

"Yes and will, if I have to pull it out of you that's what I'm gonna do!"

"This is the exact reason why I distanced myself from you guys!" He stood up. "The exact reason."

I tugged on his white t shirt. "Sit down."

"No, Azani. You know what the this whole thing is getting under my skin. This fake a-"

I covered his mouth and sat him down. "You need to calm down before you say something you don't mean."

"Your the one that said you didn't want this in the first place. I should've just spoke up when you and  Erica was talking. Now look at what we have to do!"
