Maybe Ever After

Chapter Eighteen

Nova

For the second time in two days I'm back at Jordan's house, it's funny how he happened to be the one I could reply on during those times.

I used to hate him due to the first impression he gave me, I thought he was like every bad boy in schools, pompous and controlling but he had proved to be different.

"Mel!" He yelled from the living room where we stood, then, he turned to me. "Are you okay?" He asked to which I nodded.

I was fine already, just felt a little weak and in need of sleep. Mel came rushing out to us, I pity the poor girl, I wonder why he treats his maids badly.

"Did you get the guest room ready?" He asked her and she nodded.

" Yes sir" he dismissed her and helped me to the room.

I was amazed by the room, on the walls were wallpapers of the Nickelodeon squads and pink paintings. The wardrobe was purple while the floor was made of purple shiny tiles.

The bed was a queen sized bed with touches of pink and purple, bed spread had frozen on it.

There was a reading table and a dressing table, a small couch at one side of the room.

Everything was just like my room at home, except my tiles weren't shiny, I had on table, no couch. When did all these get done?

"Jordan you....

" Are the world best, yes I know doll.... We couldn't change the tiles in such amount of time, the TV will be delivered in a few days" he said looking around trying to think of what other thing was missing.

" Yes, that door over there" he told me pointing to a door that was on one corner of the room " it leads to your closet, we will get it filled up" he added. What then was the use of the wardrobe if there is a closet.

I was way too happy, I appreciated how he made here look like my room back home, I went ahead and gave him a tight hug, taking him by shock.

He hugged back, I could tell he was smirking above my head.

"You should rest" he told me but I had enough to think of right now than rest.

"I know but about Honey's mom wedding" I told him receiving a smile.

"You should at least trust me by now NL, we have plans, the wedding is in three days afterall" he took time to explain all of his plans to me, sincerely it made a lot of sense.

"Never knew you were this intelligent" I teased, he hit my shoulder lightly. I was already in bed now and he was seated by my side.

We had a long fun talk that night before I managed to convince him to also get some rest but I was unable to convince him to take that rest in his room.

I watched as he slept peacefully beside me, who would have known he was one crazy boy. My mind went back to the plans he explained to me earlier, it was crazy but will be effective.

I got out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen, Mel and Rita were there talking about me, I cleared my throat causing them to jump in fear.

"You should be careful when gossiping about others" I told them heading straight to the fridge and got myself water. I turned back only to see scared faces.

"Oh I'm not pissed, gossiping is normal. Let's gossip infact, tell me about Jordan" they looked scared to talk, I know how Jordan can be with them. "Come on, he won't do you nothing"

"I don't know, he is neglected and takes his anger out on us" Rita told me, I pulled a kitchen stool to get seated.

"He only smiles when his friends are around, but more since yesterday" Mel added.

" His dad is the worse, he......

"What are you all doing?" Jordan yelled walking into the kitchen, I thought he was sleeping. "I looked beside me and did not find you there, only to meet you here" he added, very angry.

" I'm sorry, I just......

"You could have asked me if you were so curious about me!" He yelled in anger and walked out. I exchanged looks with the girls who mouthed me a sorry.

I was quick to go after him, he didn't even stop once despite how much I called after him.

"Jordan, come on" I followed into his room.

"Nova, this is crazy, we talked a lot and you couldn't even ask me about me, you had to go to the maids, the maids!"

" I'm sorry, I just couldn't"

" Why?"

" I don't know, I'm sorry anyway"

" It's fine but please ask me anything you want to know" I nodded.

" Why did you leave my side though, I thought you wanted to rest as well" that was another start of a long talk before we both got hungry and went to eat out.

Thank you for reading up till this point.
