Chapter Fourteen
The day Femi and Jordan had been waiting for had finally come. Jordan was giddy with excitement as she applied the finishing touches to her makeup. This thing she had with Femi was still very new. in fact, she wasn't sure if it was something yet but Jordan couldn't help herself. Femi was every woman's dream, at least in Jordan's eyes and he wanted to go out with her. Maybe fortune had finally smiled at her, she thought. Maybe this was the one that was going to stick or maybe she was in over her head. Whatever it was, there was fun to be had and Jordan intended to have it with Femi, keeping an open mind. A mind open and willing to receive whatever came its way.
The doorbell rang and Jordan was sure that it was Femi at the door. She quickly grabbed her phone and her purse and rushed down to meet him.
"Hello, beautiful."
"Hey. You're early."Jordan averted her gaze shyly. She could already feel warm all over from the intensity of Femi's gaze.

"Jess, I have bad news." Theresa found her sister lying down, perusing social media without a care in the world. She wished she wasn't the bearer of the news that would remove the slight smirk she had on her face, probably from texting someone, but something was seriously wrong and someone had to tell her."Yeah? What's up?" Jess put her phone aside and sat upright."Well, it's just been announced that Jack lost his mother yesterday.""Oh my goodness, are you for real?""I am.""That is literally the end of my life, all of our lives." Jess was distraught for Jack but she couldn't ignore what it meant for her."You don't have to carry that kind of burden around sis, I understand that your heart was in the right place but it is not your duty to save us. Everyone will be alright, we'll figure it out.""I really hope so, mom will die.""Mom will be alright. She is overly dramatic about everything so you can expect a horrid re

"Hey."Jack stood speechless for a few moments. He was just heading to hers and here she was, looking as beautiful as ever. She wore a white sundress, her beautiful hair in a bun on top of her head. She wore a clear pinkish lipgloss and a little eyeliner. Simple but gorgeous, just the way Jack liked her. She was like a drop of fresh cool water in the hottest desert. An absolute breath of fresh air and Jack just lost himself staring at the beauty that she was."If this isn't a good time, I can always come back." Lisa was clearly misunderstanding his silence."No, come on in." Jack stepped aside for Lisa to come through and her scent nearly knocked him out. She smelled of lavender and peaches, an unlikely combination that worked so well."How are you?" Lisa asked when Jack joined her on the sofa.Jacked sighed deeply. That was the million-dollar question. To anyone else, he would've said he was fine, gone with the easiest answer. Th
What Jack Wants Chapter One
Lisa got to work as early as she could and went about organizing the office. She stored away files in alphabetical order and colour coordinated the books on the shelf. Everything had to be perfect, the CEO of their chain of companies was going to visit their branch for the first time since she had started work as a sales representative at the company. Word was that he went to every single office and gave his remarks when he was done. He also wasn't one to tolerate tardiness. From what she heard, he was the perfect example of the rich asshole stereotype. His name was whispered among workers, no one wanted to be caught on his bad side. Lisa was bent over, arranging the books on the bottom shelf when she heard someone clear their throat behind her. She was startled and almost fell over but the stranger's strong arms steadied her. He smelled of exotic cologne and man. Lisa looked up to meet his gaze and literally jumped away from her position in his embrace."I

Jack hung his jacket up in his walk-in closet as he mulled over the activities of the day. He had surprised himself when he'd proposed to Lisa his own version of marriage. Sure he'd known what he needed to do, his mother wouldn't stop reminding him of it and he'd long-drawn that contract but he didn't know who he was going to give it to just yet until he saw her. Even bent over, she'd been a sight to behold but when she turned around, his mind was made up. He had been going over his options, considering all the girls that he thought were prospects but his heart just wasn't in it. He didn't want to fall in love, didn't need to. It was too much trouble to go through and still end up disappointed. His mother wanted him to get married and bear children and that was what he was going to do. Who he did it with or how he went about it wasn't really her business. He could understand his mother's persistence however, time was of the essence. He'd been m

Jack had also not tried to reach her again so she took it to mean that he had given up on the idea or perhaps, he'd found someone else. For someone who had refused Jack's proposal, Lisa was surprised to find that she wasn't thrilled at the prospect of Jack marrying someone else. But that was over, she'd put a cap in it and she hadn't heard from Jack ever since. Until that morning.Lisa got to work bright and early as usual and set about the day's activities. At 10 am, she was nose deep in a pile of paperwork, so much so that she didn't notice the delivery man until he was right in front of her."Excuse me, ma'am, I have a package for a Lisa. I assume that would be you since I was directed to come here."Lisa looked up to find a teenager staring nervously at her. "Yes, I'm Lisa.""Great, sign he

So that settled the wife thing which was the whole reason he was seeking Lisa out in the first place. Yet he felt like he wasn't done with her. She was a constant part of his thoughts and it was starting to get on his nerves.For all his gifts and attention, she had never given him more than a friendly thank you. He got up and took his suit jacket from behind his chair and headed out. If what he knew about her was true, she would still be at work. Yeah, Jack was keeping tabs on her, who wouldn't? She was the sexiest woman he had seen in a long time, and that was saying a lot because he'd travelled a lot and se

Lisa almost ran as she made her way to Jordan's room, panicked. The door was locked, probably because Francis was over but Lisa knocked over and over until she came out."Dude, why are you threatening to break my door this early on a Saturday morning?""He called, Jordan."Lisa almost broke as she said the words and Jordan immediately understood and gathered her friend in her arms."What did he want?" Jordan asked after Lisa had calmed down. They were now sitting on a couch in the living room."He said he doesn't have a place to stay and he knows I have an apartment in the city so he wants to come and stay with me, just till he can get back on his feet." Lisa's bottom lip quivered as she said the words."Which would mean he knows where you live.""I have to leave.""You will do no such thing.""But he's going to come here Jordan, and you know how he gets. I don't want to put you in any trouble."
