GENESISBeing a romantic couple was no longer a bad idea, honestly speaking. All day, I had done everything to please him and to apologize for my wrong doings that I had not taken a time to rest. But now that he was with me, I realized that I missed him so much, it was funny. His scent, his very touch which I had always found strange and weird was no longer uncomfortable but the warmth of him was relaxing and soothing. My cheeks heated up when he said that he missed me too and I relaxed into his body, completely devouring the moment with shame that I never thought of anything else. We had completely forgotten that we were in the living room with staffs all looking at us.“Hmm hmmm,” one of them cleared their throat and I jerked away from Jordan’s arm. Turning around, I found that Margaret was grinning from ear to ear and she had this look on her face just like every other person did.“Would you still eat dinner?” she asked us and Jordan turned to me.“Yes, get it hot,” he responded
GENESISMy mood was like that of a bird soaring, roaring and flying so high, while it sang along other birds, chirping and being simply a bird. I ate, I took my bath and I read for a little while. My heart was dancing to a beautiful song and I thought of how pleasant it was going to be to tell someone about it, then I thought of my sister and my mom and dad. I quickly realized that I had not spoken to them in a while and I picked up my phone and dialed them. It rang for a while, and soon enough the very cheerful and excited voice of my sister came through the other end of the line as she shrieked.“Blue eyes…” she yelled and shrieked again, that I had to take the phone off my ear for a while till I was sure that she stopped.“Do you have to be that loud?” I teased.“Do you have to forget me so easily?” she snapped back and I frowned as a little guilt filled my heart.“I have asked you to stay away from my phone Ava,” my father’s voice came in.“Genesis,” his voice came through the oth
I remained frozen at the spot, unable to believe that Jordan had just said that to me or even Samantha. I shut my eyes and looked around to be sure that there was no hidden camera or reporters around. It might be why he was acting up in front of the woman he loved with all his life. But I found no other person except the chefs who were looking at the scene. I turned my gaze back to Jordan and still found that he was still staring at me with a lot of intensity and a smile at his lips. I gulped, still not believing that I had heard right and turned to the woman who was behind him. She had moved away from where she was behind him and was now at the side while she stared at him with wide eyes and open mouth. That look did it for me. It was the look that proved that it was not a movie neither was it a dream for Jordan had really said all that. I took my eyes away from her and turned to Jordan as I recuperated from his speech and his lips twitched as it widened with a smile. His eyes sparkl
Just as quickly as we had carried our matter outside, we turned back inside. Jordan held my hand tightly in his and ignored the eyes that stared at us while I felt a bit awkward. We walked back to the VVIP room and sat down on the table as we have done before while a chef walked up to us. He opened the wine bottle that was there before and poured it into a glass for the both of us. Jordan took his and gulped it in a goal while I stared at him.“Are you alright?” I asked him and he forced a smile. He dropped his now empty glass and stared at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable in my sit.“I should be asking you that. She almost smashed your head with a glass,” he responded and I smiled.“But you didn’t let her,”“Just as I won’t let her cause any more harm,” he added strongly. I could tell that he was still at the edge, still very much annoyed by what happened and I thought of how to cheer him up. I had dressed up perfectly for a lunch date and I was not planning to let Sam
Pulling Jordan along with me to the door was like moving a rock. His body was steadily built and it was a lot of work because of his reluctance to go in. But after hearing what he had said, how he had been with other people compared to how he was with me, I wanted my family to see my husband already and know who he was. We finally got to the door and I lifted my hand against it to ring the doorbell only for the door to swing open and Tiffany shrieked so loudly, I had to close my eyes and winced at the loud sound that could come out of her throat.“She is here,” she yelled into the house and pulled me by my arm into the house. Tiana came out and crossed her hand over her chest as she stared at me grudgingly, like I had offended her in some way but I saw the little smile at the corner of her lips that proved she was happy to see me as I was happy to see them.“How have you been?” Tiffany started as she ran her eyes from my head to my toe so widely. It reminded me of how Jordan always lo
My heart skipped and my eyes instantly snapped to Tiana. She didn’t act like she cared though because she was eating her food casually. It went so silent in the table, I could feel my heart beating so loudly inside my chest.“Why y’all looking at me?” she looked up and smirked when she met my angry gaze.“What? Have you become so obsessed with money that you no longer have a conscience?”“Do you know that we never told him who you were married to so he wouldn’t create a fuss and ruin things. But even after so many months, have you called him once to apologize or say sorry?” she yelled.“Tiana,” my mother banged her hands against the table loudly. And like she realized what she had done, she flinched and went quiet. I wanted to tear her apart, not because what she said was wrong but because she was so stupid to have brought that up in front of Jordan. I only just told her that we were in a good place, why was she trying to ruin it? No one said a thing again, they all remained quiet and
JORDANSomething warm and soothing seemed to be coursing through my veins, spreading through my heart. The excitement and peace I felt was so foreign, different and completely worth it. I had traveled and waited for a long time to feel what I felt within me. I had lived out my life in darkness and loneliness scared that it would never be worth living if I never had Samantha close by.I chuckled darkly and ran my hands through my hair as I finally found it fit to pull my eyes away from the sleeping beauty cuddled up tightly against a pillow on the bed.It was morning already and I only came back up to drop a note beside her since I had to rush off to work. Seeing how I left the previous day, I would want to work and get a lot of unfinished things done, but I could not bring myself to leave without saying something to her. When I had dropped the note, I found myself trapped within the beauty she possessed. How did I ever think that I was never going to overcome? How did I ever think tha
JORDANI stopped in my tracks, those words cut deep into my heart and sent fear pumping through my veins. I would have pretended to have not felt the fear that his threats caused, but I was already standing still and had gone stiff with the threat. But that feeling washed away rather quickly and it was replaced by something else. I let go of my mother’s hand and slowly turned around to look my father in the face. His nose was bloody, his face was red and bruised but that look in his eyes only proved that he was up to no good and knowing my father, he would do a lot worse if I allowed him go to such lengths.“I have always known that you were wicked, heartless and raging mad,” I started towards him again as I adjusted the hands of my suits but my mother held my hand with both of hers and pulled me back in place. I guess she was scared of him and what he could do or maybe, she was scared of me and how I would easily end his life if I had a chance. I had nothing to him, nothing to link h
