Toto and the Boys II: George

Chapter 10

If I would have to spell the word ‘suffering’, I’d spell it J-O-R-D-A-N.

Yep, because the man sure was suffering the moment he went home to the boys’ apartment.

I was sure Georgie tried her best during her first week with him, but I was not sure if Jordan was doing pretty well himself.

We dropped Jackie at Collins Corporations and Dannie at Kumon.

Once that was done, we headed straight to the Red Cross HQ where Dee immediately told me everything she witnessed the other day. She said that Jordan had been hanging on to her seatbelt stronger than ought to be and it was saying much. We both laughed about the guy’s lack of experience when it came to an ambulance rescue.

Oh, if I could just laugh at his face.

But I knew it would not do any good because the guy was wearing his usual flat face when he was forced to ride another run with Georgie and the others again. His face, though a bit more red, was still the same when he climbed down Dee when they came back.

Dee told me how Georgie shouted at him to go faster and how she had to constantly remind him that he was not part of the team so he had to step aside.

My ambulance friend said that it was sort of harsh for Georgie to do it, but she understood how serious she could get during runs.

I told Dee that Jordan had to learn how to deal with Georgie.

I still couldn’t believe he told Jam that he was Georgie’s fiancé! How dare he, right?

I was Team Ja and the guy sank my JaGina ship. I knew it sank because Jam was looking very disappointed earlier and he went back inside his apartment without his usual smile.

Jackie had to find out about this soon! I knew that girl was crazy and all, but she had to know what Jordan did!

Or maybe Georgie should so she could bury Jordan alive.

He should not have told anyone he was Georgie’s fiancé!

I told Dee about it in haste and she said that it might be because Jordan was already thinking of Georgie as his soon-to-be-wife.

It got me thinking. Maybe my ambulance friend was right.

Could Jordan already be thinking of Georgie as his future wife?

*****

George was typing a report when Jordan rose to his feet with a frown on his face.

The other team members were at the back of the HQ cooking lunch.

The only sounds were from the TV, the radios and Georgie’s keyboard.

“What?” she asked before he could even open his mouth.

“You just let that guy grope your legs earlier.”

She paused from her typing and tried to remember what he was talking about. “Are you talking about the drunk we picked up earlier?”

He did not answer but continued to look down at her.

George sighed, trying to be patient. “It happens sometimes. Don’t fret about it.”

“So you mean it happened before?”

George pushed back from the computer and faced Jordan. “And it will happen again. But I can take care of myself.”

“That was harassment.”

“That was a drunk who had a gunshot wound on his arm. The wound was all that matters.”

“So you just let men do that to you as long as you can do your job?”
