Jordan's Point Of View

Good Days - SZA

"Hey" Caleb's voice was the first thing that I've heard for the day and it felt like heaven.
I smile grew on my face when the memory of us having a passionate make out session, in his bed, between my legs, and I was surely blushing. "You seem happy today"

"Good morning Caleb" I finally opened my eyes, realizing that I was actually laying on top of his chest and our legs was tangled up with one another.

"It's in the afternoon" he showed me the time on his phone. Instantly I jumped off him and off the bed then dashed to the bathroom. I quickly gathered my clothes and shoes, then git dressed. Caleb repeatedly asked me why I was such in a hurry and he'll just call my dad and tell him that I was there but clearly, he didn't know my dad as much as I did. The rule about sleeping over is: you have to be home after breakfast, except when you're staying for a few days. I stayed till the afternoon. My dad was gonna kill me. After I got dressed, Caleb gave me ride back home. Before I climbed out, he notified me that he'll be visiting around five or so... After that, I climbed out, and walked through the door. Discovering my whole family in the kitchen.

"Good mo-afternoon" I stuttered and gulped.

"What the hell happened to your neck?!" yelped my dad with big eyes.

"What's wrong with my neck?" I asked confused, and just when I ran my fingers around my neckline, I felt a little pain and as if my skin was swollen.

"That dad, is what us youngsters call a hickey. You get it when someone kisses your neck very passionately and sometimes, when getting intimate" Jacob chuckled and knowing what I've done, kinda gave me shame. I froze there in one place, feeling their judgemental stares burning holes through my body.

"I did not..." then I saw Kyle, "I didn't do it"

"You promise?" my dad asked, pointing the knife, which he was using to chop garlic, at me, with a death glare.

"I promise" I murmured, "I'll be taking a shower now" and when I was out of sight, I heard how Jacob started laughing out loud and I couldn't help myself but to laugh quickly. I got to the bathroom, took all my clothes off and stepped under the warm drops of water. Within seconds the whole bathroom was filled with mist and fog. After my half hour long shower, l went back to my room and got dressed, wearing a black pair of sweatpants, white sneakers and a red t-shirt, plus a white beanie. Why a beanie? Cause I can.

I headed back downstairs, forgetting that I had a bunch of hickeys on my neck, but they more under my collar. So, my family already saw them, but it was still a shame that I had them. Or at least it was to my dad.
Anyway, when I joined them at the counter, I noticed that Kyle and my dad wasn't present. When I asked, Cynthia informed me that they went to the store to pick up a few things.

"So, how was the party?" asked Cynthia

"If this conversation leads to questions towards the things on my neck, I'll cry" I jumped off the barstool and went laying on the couch. Then the doorbell rang...
Jacob went opening the door and..."Hey, is Jordan home?" a smile grew on my face when I laid my eyes on him, as he ruled those black skinny jeans and a plain white t-shirt.

"Yep, he's on the couch" Jacob stepped back and invited him inside.

"Thanks" can also closed the door behind him. First, when he saw me smiling, his face contain a flirty smirk, then: "Mrs Sighcaster" I greeted Cynthia.

"It's Bailey" Cynthia corrected him and shook his hand.

"Hey you" he finally greeted me and came sitting next to me.

"Hi Caleb"

"I have something to confess to you" he suddenly said, leaning with his elbows on his knees, "The tutor sessions with me was only to get you closer to me. I wanted you in my sp-"

"Whose car is in the driveway?!" my dad's voice echoed through the entire house as he entered.

"That would be Caleb's, your second son's friend" sighed Jacob and pursed his lips.

"Jordan!" dad called my name outloud, as if I was upstairs and my only respond was to put my hand up.

"Oh, Caleb Warden" my dad recognized him, before he could interrogate him, "What are you doing here?"

"I...just came to visit Jordan" Caleb stuttered.

"Care to explain the marks on his neck?" my dad suddenly asked, causing Jacob to scoff, my heart to race and making the stress visible on Caleb's face. And just when he wanted to look at me, my dad warned him.

"Sir, at night I usually put on some aftershave and it may rub off on my pillows.  And since he slept over, I think his skin had a reaction" I definitely was surprised and scared to hear who he lied to my dad. My dad seemed as if he was digesting the information and kinda convinced.

"You have a skin problem Jordan?" my dad asked, still facing Caleb, who was now standing tall in front of my dad.

"Y-yeah. I just didn't tell you cause I thought it wasn't serious" I lied.

"Why haven't it have an effect on you before?"

"Hormones dad" I rolled my eyes, "Hormones change people"

"If I find out that you've been having sex or any sexual experience with my son, I swear to God, I cut your balls off and make you eat them"

"Dad, stop!" I yelped, "He's my friend"
