Nova We were all seated in Jordan's living room, never did it occur to me that the jerk was so rich. Looking around, I realised one thing, even though my dad is gone, I have people who love me. It never occurred to my mum to call me once, I'm sure she will have landed somewhere, sometimes, I just hope I have a mother like that of everyone else. Trish and Lois were cracking dry jokes and laughing like idiots while I only wallowed in my thoughts. I was also hungry but I can't comlain since he prepared me food and I refused it. "I think we should get going" I said out of nowhere, considering the surprised faces thrown at me, the girls weren't ready to leave. "Calm down babe, it's still early" Trish replied me rolling her eyes at me, seriously? "That is true, besides, there is food for everyone" Jordan announced, everyone except Honey and I cooed at the mention of food. She had been quite silent for a while and I was thinking it had to do with her mother's wedding. I watched as my two other friends went off with the boys, I let out heavy sigh I was not aware I was holding, they were happily chatting and laughing but I just can't bring myself to. "NL, come on" Jordan called on me, coming back to pull me with him. "Honey, food" he told her and she just nodded, sluggishly getting up. He had his hand on both of my shoulder and whispered in my ear "are you okay?" I nodded and went with him to the dinning, only to get Miley winking at me. "You got dust in your eyes Miley?" She rolled her eyes at me in response, I know right, I can be super annoying sometimes. "Ok so, are you like the coolest guy in school?" Trish asked Lois who had been flaunting all evening about his looks. "Yes, all the girls flock around me" he replied spreading his arms. "I don't think so, they think that should be Jordan" Andrew said breaking all of his lies, Trish and Miley gave Jordan a quick look and nodded. "He has the looks" Miley commented "Yeah but I know how to deal with ladies, make them trip" Andrew said getting 'hmmm' from the girls. I tapped Honey beside me to know if she was fine and she slowly nodded even though I knew she was lying. "Yes Tara, that girl, she would not stop bothering Jordan" Lois said with an irritated face. Everyone hates Tara. Honey's mood worsened at the mention of and I knew just what her problem was. The food came, the same lady who brought mine earlier, served steaks alongside a younger lady. The other lady was busy trying to place the food in front of Andrew but heaven knows what he was doing to her that made her dropped the food, plate shattering on the floor. Miley jumped from beside them and Jordan's face? This lady better disappear into the ground, like right now. "Really Mel? Why are you two always embarrassing me? Now you just broke my mum's plate, how many times have I warned you not to ever serve food with that plate?" Jordan yelled at the poor maid who was shivering where she stood. "It's just fine man, I'm partly at fault here and really the plate can be replaced" Andrew defended Mel but that was not enough to calm him. "I don't see how you at fault here, they are never careful! Always...." "It's fine" Andrew almost yelled at Jordan while Mel ran off to the kitchen, returning to clean up the mess. Really? Just when I wanted to speak with him, this boy has no chills on his maids like the mere sight of them pisses him off. "Are you okay Miley" Andrew asked Miley who just nodded. The food was replaced and we all ate to our fill with little back and forths from Jordan and Andrew, I was quite surprised Lois said nothing. "You flirting with my maid" Jordan said again out of no where, I thought this whole issue was gone. "She is pretty, tell me you never had anything with her" "I'm not a man whore" "But a boy whore right?" "You know, you make absolutely no sense right now, I'd never stoop so low" "Oh so, this is me stooping low uhn? No you tell me I'm stooping low, what the fuck you know bout that? Tell me man, what you know bout that. Mel is a hundred times better than that stupid Tara. Guess your head injury is affecting your thinking now" Wait this really was getting out of hand besides Tara? "What had my head injury or Tara got to do with this?" Jordan asked this time more confused than angry. "Oh you think I did not know? That day at..... "Shut up Andrew, nothing happened, it was actually the opposite, long, loud argument, I was there" Lois finally interfered and for the first time, he was speaking sense. "Thank you man and you nigga sit your ass down there" Jordan told Andrew. "Don't you fucking call me nigga, you stupid white boy" "My bad but don't flirt with my maid" "I'd watch you stop me, probably when I'm knee-deep uhn?" "You guys are gross" Miley spat. Somehow, that ended the whole shit and they were laughing again, one thing I still don't understand about boys, they fight so hard, sometimes throw fists and it ends right there. Oh, we were now seated in the living room again. I tapped Jordan who was beside me and gestured for him to come with me and he did, I could hear coos from our friends as we went up the stairs. Stupid fellows. "What now uhn? Is this your way if seducing me?" He teased as we walked into his room. "Hell no" I replied scrunching up my face. What shit goes through his head? "So why are we in my room? And oh isn't this amazing? I never let any girl into my room and now you just walk freely inside" "Your problem" I replied with an eye roll. "Good to have you back" he said holding on to my hand which I removed from his almost immediately. Never trust a boy. "I need your help on something Jordan" "Oh now you need my help?" "I'm serious" "Ok fine, anything for you" he replied with a wink. #anothereyeroll. I explained the whole Honey issue to him and the upcoming wedding, he sighed after everything and nodded. "So what do I do here?" He was quite confused. "I don't know, I feel you are quite crazy and this should be easy for you" "I will think of something but on one condition" I knew this was coming, he won't do it free, I just knew. "Shoot" he got closer, trailing his finger on my shoulder, this isn't good. "You know how much I like you right? You see, just.... "Jordan, you want me to sleep with you in return, really?" I almost yelled forgetting anyone could hear. "No, well... That could come along but I meant for us to be together, like a couple NL. See, we just go together like...." "Save the long talks, you want me? Then keep trying, there are better ways to woo a girl" I replied walking out on him with one hope, hope that he doesn't back out on us. "NL, come on" he said pulling me quickly before I walk out of the door. "Fine, I will and the whole wedding, my guys and I will think of something" somehow, that brought me relief. "Thank you". His hand went to his head with his eyes shot close, I heard a low groan coming from him. All day he had been fine but he just had to do all of those yelling with Andrew, knowing fully well he has an head injury. "Are you okay" "My head hurt so bad, the headache has gotten worse" he explained, sitting slowly into a chair. "So your head has been aching? And all those yelling? Is there a drug somewhere?" I asked looking around hoping to find something. "Yes and I need to redress the wound before going to sleep" he replied still holding on to his head, it must really hurt. I wonder what happened to him or who hurt him. "Where is the drug" he pointed to a drawer which I went to quickly, there was only one pain relief drug in there, I gave him quickly and got water from the mini fridge in his room. "Thank you" he said, collecting from me and swallowed one of the drug. "You should rest, you know? Maybe when your mum comes or dad, they can help with..... "They won't, they rarely come home" he replied more like whispered. My face fell, it reminded me of my own family. "You should rest, I will help with your wounds before leaving". I told him and helped him to his bed, he laid on a pillow looking weak. He is not so well. "Relax!" I urged him.
