He's My Boss

XVII.

3 months later

After Jordan's blow up, his parents checked him into a private mental health hospital right outside of Chicago. His parents told me that he's been suffering from multiple personality disorder since the age of 8. They asked me to maintain his business until he is released. I'm on my way to see him for the first time in 3 months with his parents, they haven't seen him either due to the doctor orders. We walked in the building and had to go through so many checks and finally saw him in the visiting room surrounded by patients and their families. He looked so different, his beard grew, he had dark circles around his eyes and his hair was much longer than the last time I saw him. We sat at the table.

"Hey baby, how are you?" Tony said holding Jordan's hands.

Jordan looked at me. "I'm better. Hey Azani, I'm surprised to see you. I would've thought you would still be mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you. I'm just glad your feeling better." I smiled. I was more scared then mad.

"Are they treating you right in here?" Joseph cracking a smile.

"It's just like I remember it when I was younger- still terrible. I'm just ready to go home."

"I know son, your doctor said that he wanted to have a meeting with all of us later on today. Depending on how your doing, you might be able to come home soon but you would have to stay away from the job."

"I don't care, I would do anything to get out of here. I feel like I'm in jail." Jordan said shaking his head.

"I already have that covered." I said folding my hands on the table. "Your CEO is actually gonna do his job and take care of the business."

He smiled at me. "Thanks, I don't know where I would be without the help of  you and my parents."

"No problem Jay, it's kinda my job to do so."

"You have went beyond your job description." He continued to stare in my eyes.

"Hello!" A very tall dark skin man in his early 30's said walking towards us. "I'm Dr. Marley, Jordan's doctor. How are you guys doing today?"

"Good!" We all replied.

He turned towards me. "You must be Azani? I've heard a lot about you."

"Hopefully all good things." I giggled.

"Of course! Your more beautiful than what he described you as." He smiled.

"Thanks."

Jordan looked at his parents then back at Dr. Marley. "She's still my fiancé Mark."

"I'm just sparking up conversation."

"So how is my baby boy doing, when do you think he can come home?" Tony said with a smile.

Dr. Marley sat down. "He's doing much better. If it was up to me he would be out today but the people upstairs are demanding that he stay for an additional minimum of  48 hours."

"That's not that bad." Tony rubbed Jordan's arm. "You'll be out in no time Jordy."

"I'm so tired of this place," Jordan rubbed his face. "I need a break-"

"No, what you need a break from is all of that work!"

"Ahhhh." A short white man yelling trying to run out of the door.

A loud alarm went off and half of the guards ran to the man and Dr. Marley spoke through the loud speaker. "Visiting hours are now over."

"See what I mean, I'm not half as bad as them." Jordan said standing up.

I did the same. "Well you have 2 more day J. These days are gonna past by so fast."
