Her Request

Chapter Twenty Two

Chapter 22
April

I arrived at my mother's place in time for breakfast. She placed kisses on my cheeks after I dropped kinglee on the floor.

"Hey April" Mathew, my stepdad said as he emerged down the stairs.

"Hi Mathew" we hugged.

"Auntie!!!!!!" My ten years old step sister Mariah rushed into my arms as i bent down to accommodate her.

My mum ushered us to the dining after the greetings.

"How's work been?" Mathew asked

"Very good"

"And the matter so far with the lawsuit?"

"It's been taken care of."

We made conversations in between the delicious breakfast. When we finished eating, I helped take the dishes back to the kitchen sink alongside my mum and Mariah.

We all settled in the living room.

"Sophie mentioned you're dating someone"

I internally heaved a sigh.

"Yes"

"Does that mean you're getting married Auntie?" Mariah said as I raked her hair with my fingers.

We all laughed.

"Hopefully soon," My mum said with a grin.

"When are you going to introduce him to us?"

My mother has no chill. If the worst comes I'll have no choice than to hire a Trevor to pose as my boyfriend and then break the news later on that we broke up.

"You'll meet him soon"

"I'll get it!" Mariah instantly rose up to her feet to pick my Phone from the dining table.

I excused myself to go pick the call in the kitchen and sat on the countertop.

Sean has been calling me repeatedly these past few days and it's beginning to irk me. Who would have thought the guy I tagged low key and calm could be so annoying and a pest? Have i been fucking an obsessive freak?

The call dropped before i could answer and then a text message followed.

*Please talk to me April*

I hissed and blocked his number. I should have done that way before now.

I went back to the living room to join the others watching a movie.

*********

My heart began to pound real fast as i finished dressing up in the gown Jordan had sent to me a few days ago for the event tonight.

The ankle-length and A-line red dress had a deep plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. I made my hair up to a bun and attached a waist-length ponytail to it making the Cartier Necklace he sent with the dress a tourist attraction on my neck.
I painted my lips red and carried my silver clutch off the dressing table.

I received a text from Jordan saying the chauffeur had arrived and was parked in front of my house.

I took a final deep breath and proceeded to the car. I was nervous and tensed, much to the fact that Jordan wanted to show me something today and I'd been stressing my brain to guess what it could be to no avail.

I arrived at the stand-up party and was mesmerized by the number of paparazzi and very important personalities present.
I didn't expect less because Jordan Crossfire is a household name in the city.

The room had a lot of silver chandeliers dropping above our heads with a spotlight elevated stage.

The Dj was playing a lot of old school songs and i couldn't help but tap my feet when one of my favorite, Survivor by Destiny 's Child was played. All the while I could smell Jordan but he wasn't visible.

I looked around over and over but he still wasn't in the room. I was almost forced to ask someone but i kept mute. The event would begin soon and I'll see him. Besides, he's probably busy backstage.

"Hello there, April?" It took me a while to recognize the person approaching me was the Lady I had met in Jordan's office earlier this week.

"Yes and you are?"

"Belcarlis" she brought out a hand and we shook.

"I almost didn't recognize you in that dress," She said with a very wide grin.

"Guess I have Jordan to thank for that" I joked.

"Jordan has really good taste in picking women outfits. I'm completely blown away by this" She caressed the arm of her silky deep green dress.

"Jordan picked your outfit?"

"Yes. He always has and even though I've told him countless times to stop he wouldn't budge. We've been friends since college and he just can't help but buy me gifts sometimes." It was obvious to me that she was gloating but i didn't want to conclude.

"Where is Jordan?" I asked, changing the dress topic.

She looked around "oh there he is" she pointed at the stage as Jordan took the mic.

All the while through Jordan's speech, i couldn't overlook the fact that the dress Jordan had picked for Belcarlis was very sexy. It had the same plunging neckline as mine and double thigh-high slit. It made me draw up questions from my well of thought.

Have they dated before? Or did they just fuck? But then that can't be possible because i was his first sexual partner although that does not mean he didn't subject to oral sex and other things that didn't have to do with cock penetration.

She clapped her hands and beamed as Jordan took off the stage and shook some persons while headed to my spot.

"April," Jordan said as he took in my appearance. "It looks so much better on you"

"I want to fuck you in that dress later tonight" he whispered into my ear.

Belcarlis cleared her throat "hello I'm here!" She joked and waved in the air.

Jordan gave her a hug and then whispered something in her ear which made her leave.

"What did you say to her?" I asked curiously.

"That she should excuse us for ten minutes because it's time for that surprise, tease"

He took my arm and led me to the lonely balcony outside and then kissed me in the most ravaging manner while tightly holding on to my waist.

"My name is Jordan Crossfire from Beacon High school and I am in love with April Denver from Beacon high" he looked at me expectantly "does this look familiar?"

The kiss, the balcony, the confession? Bloody hell!

Jordan is the Jordan from high school?

"Yes, I am the douchebag from high school, the creepy caller from your podcast and the man that'll spend the rest of his life building a beautiful relationship and adoring the woman he's in love with." He replied as if he knew what I was thinking.

It took a while to process everything that just happened within the last few seconds and it looked very funny, so funny that I laughed out.
How did I fall in love again with my first and last crush from high school?
I was happy- hell- the butterflies in my stomach were dancing Gangnam Style.

"I love you too," I said lashing my lips onto his as we passionately kissed.
