Chapter forty one 2
"Don't worry I won't touch you..." He leaned so close that our noses brushed.
"Just get ready Jordan..." I stammered with my eyes tightly shut.He caressed my cheeks and I almost fell at his mercy.I was vulnerable right now and he was a handsome temptation.
"Please don't..." I bit my bottom lip so hard that I am sure it was bleeding.
"Don't open your eyes, I am naked and need to get dressed..."I nodded wordlessly, shaking all sort of dirty thoughts from my mind as I felt him stepping away.I stood there, trembling my eyes shut waiting for him to get dressed.
"I am done. You can open your eyes..."I slowly opened my eyes and found him smiling naughtily at me. I don't know what was coming over me. I guess he is getting to me because I am hurting.Before he could say anything, I was out of the door running downstairs when I almost bumped into Mr King.
"Jemima Jobs, what a surprise?" He greeted me with a warm hug.
"I knew you two would get along. Come, lunch is ready..." He draped his arm over my shoulder and led me to the dining room
.
"How is Josh doing?He is a very hardworking man."
"He is good sir..."
"C'mon call me dad..." This is getting weirder by the minute. The moment I slid into my chair, the smell of various kinds of meat and vegetables dishes all together make my stomach growl.
"Darling, you couldn't wait for me..." Jordan said in a sad tone, sitting beside me.
"I was hungry darling..."
What was Jordan trying to do?
"You two are so adorable..."Granny stuttered, tears dripping from her eyes.
"Granny, don't scare her.Sweet heavens."Jordan rolled his eyes at her.
"I am just happy for you grandson..."After a while Jordan's sister and brother joined us.
"Sweet heavens, you guys are trending on twitter..." Jordan's little brother shouted."What?" I asked shockingly.
"Yes.The newest couple in town.Mr.Jordan Kings and Jemima Jobs are seen getting cosy in the hottest vacation private island. Is Jordan finally over his ex?"I could feel my heart constricting in my chest just imagining what's running in Drake's mind right now. He must be going crazy with the mere thought of Jordan and I been cosy.I have really crossed the limits.
"Are you okay?" Jordan whispered to me.
"My boyfriend will kill me..."
"Do you guys want to have a look?" Jordans little brother asked and we both shook our heads in disagreement.
"Dear, why are you not eating?" Granny asked and that when I realised I have just been playing with my fork. I was thinking about Drake, I know he is worried sick and mad at the same time. Only God knows what he will so after he sees me.
"She is on diet.That figure just doesn't happen." Jordan came to my rescue.
"I was to comment on that sexy body..." His sister smiled at me.
"Thanks..."After lunch, we moved to the living room and Mr King began narrating to me embarassing stories of Jordan when he was young. Jordan could once in a while rub the back of his neck embarassingly and that made me laugh. The atmosphere simply made me happy, I felt at home. The King's were so sweet and friendly.I was more grateful that Jordan kept me close at his side. Unlike Drake who forgot I was his date, the moment we stepped into the Harrison' Mansion.
"So when did you two start dating?" Jordan's sister asked the question I was waiting for.
"He asked me out the moment I stepped into his office for an interview..." I replied dryly.
"Jordan you couldn't let her slip away, could you?" Mr King began teasing him.
"For once dad, you got it right. I am grateful..." He pressed a soft kiss on my forehead, taking me by surprise.
"You are so sweet darling..." I flashed him a forced smile.After we were done, Jordan and I decided to take a walk on the beach.
"I am sorry about the article..."
"It's okay. I am just thinking about him. I know he is mad and worried out of his wit. After we were done, Malcolm and I decided to take a walk on the beach.
"I am sorry about the article..."
"It's okay..I am just thinking about him. I know he is mad and worried out of his wit.
"If he trusts you, there is nothing to be worried about..."
"He is so paranoid and immature at times.Ironically he had told me to stay away from you." I chuckled at the last statement.
"Whoa!I hope I am not a threat..."
"Should you be a threat?"
"I see what you are trying to do Mrs Jobs.Very cunning indeed."
"I really had fun today. Thank you for the amazing experience..."
"Anytime Miss Jobs..."Finally what I was fearing the most happened. It was time for Jordan to take me b
"So which hotel are you staying in?" He asked the moment we drove out of the King's villa.
"Take me to the Kingss' villa..." Damn Jordan you pricking a sensitive nerve and I am almost losing it.
"Can you just drive with your mouth shut?'
"Did I say something wrong?"
"You just talk too much at times..."There was a weird silence between us as Jordan decided to focus on the road. When we drove into the Kings' villa, Drake was seated by the stairs at the front door with his hands on his head.
"Look what is happening. So you are the reason Drake and Cardi broke up. You never seize to surprise me..." I could sense mockery in his voice.
"I can't deal with you..." I climbed out of the car and called out to Drake.His expression on his face was ferocious when he lifted his head up. Jemima you are good as dead.He ran towards me and wrapped his arms around me. He hugged me tighter this time as if I would disappear in a moment notice.
"I am glad you are okay baby, you had me worried."There was something different with him. He just called me baby and he was weirdly not mad.
"Where have you been?Your phone was off..." He asked worriedly the second he pulled back.
"The battery died..." I stammered.
"I am sorry to interrupt you guys but Jemima I will head back..." Jordan stated arrogantly.
"I guess you two know each other..." I mumbled apologetically.
"Nice to see you Jordan. Thanks for bringing my girl home..." Drake said calmly, pulling me close to him that my head was on his chest and his arm wrapped across my back.
"Next time just don't let her walk down the streets crying. It's not a good picture..." Jordan flashed him a small, cool smile that doesn't reach his eyes.
"I guess that's not your business Jordan..." O could sense disgust inDrake's voice as he said his name.
"Be glad it's my business or right now a stranger would be comforting her. If you can't make her happy, let her go..." Their conversation had began to make me so uncomfortable.
"Bye Miss Jemima, see you Soon." Jordan saluted me and slid back into his car.After he had driven out of the gates, Drake walked me to the house. Strangely he seemed Calm.
