His Love His Hate

Chapter 15

"Can I steal Jordan for a while?" Justin asked Olivia.

"Sure. Go ahead," she replied with a smile.

"Honey, please make her feel comfortable," Justin said to his wife before kissing her and leaving with Jordan.

"Are you and Jordan married?" Rebecca suddenly asked. Olivia coughed at the question.

"Oh my God! Are you okay? Here." Rebecca said with concern, offering Olivia a glass of water which she gladly took.

After taking a sip from the cup, she felt better so she thanked Rebecca before deciding to answer her question.

"I and Jordan aren't together. We are just friends but I'm actually with his twin" Olivia corrected.

"Jordan's a twin?" Rebecca asked surprised.

"Yeah. His twin is Joseph and they both look the same." Olivia smiled while she said it. Just talking about her boyfriend, Joseph makes her happy.

"Why isn't he here?" Rebecca asked out of curiosity.

"He joined the Force. He is presently on a peacekeeping mission."

"That must be hard for you... I mean not having him close."

"Yeah," Olivia replied with a sad smile.

"Don't you sometimes feel attracted to Jordan since...well... They look alike?"

Olivia had never thought of Jordan that way. He was as attractive as Joseph, yes, but they were so different.

"No, I don't. They may look quite the same but they are different from each other." she honestly replied.

"Wow! You must be in love with your boyfriend." Rebecca exclaimed.

"Yes, I am. We've been friends since when we were little and he's also my best friend."

"No wonder," Rebecca replied with a fond smile.

"Come. Let me show you around," she said to Olivia.

"Okay."

 Jordan and Justin were outside standing beside the table where the drinks were placed.

"When I asked you to come with a date, I didn't know it was going to be Olivia. Are you two that close?" Justin began.

Jordan just looked at him and turned away.

"I mean... Are you sure you both are just friends or is there something else going on that I don't know?" Justin continued.

"Can't I bring a friend?" Jordan asked.

"Sure, you can but... Olivia?..... Have you told her anything yet?" He asked.

Jordan gave him a questioning look.

"She seems comfortable around you..... That's reason enough to know if you've said anything to her." Justin said trying to justify his question.

"She doesn't have to know," Jordan replied.

"Oh, so she's still in the dark about how you feel?"

"I've told you she knows nothing, so just drop it," Jordan said through gritted teeth already getting angry.

"Okay, okay. I mean no harm." Justin said in surrender.

Just as he finished his statement, he noticed his wife and Olivia coming out of the house and walking towards them.

"Love, it's time to cut the cake," Rebecca said to her husband while dragging him to the table where the cake was.

Justin blew out the candles, cut a little portion, and took a bite of the large cake in front of him, then they all went to the table to have dinner. It was a long table with a lot of chairs on each side. The table was filled with different meals and snacks. The tree in the garden was decorated with lights that brightened the garden. Different kinds of flowers enhance the beauty of the garden.
