ECHOES OF LOVE 136
Jordan was all smiles when he walked into the office, it took him a while to get to the office because he first made a stop at the Supreme Court to get a stamp, then New York even though he was late, he was smiling so happily,"Good morning guys!"He greeted his co-workers as he entered the office, smiling brightly."Morning,"They all responded, he knew they would already have had coffee but that didn't stop him from getting some, he distributed it on their various table."What's going on? You look extra happy today,"Mark said pulling his chair close to him."I am always happy Mark,""Yeah, except for the first week I was here, you are always happy indeed, but today seems different,"Mark said staring at him."Don't you have work to do Mark?""I do, but I wanna know,""Move along Mark, I have work to do,"Jordan said pushing his chair away, Mark stared suspiciously at his hand, Jordan had slipped off his ring before entering the office, he didn't want the attention just yet and he w

"Liam! I am home!"Jordan yelled when he got into the house but the place was silent."Did he go out?"He asked himself walking into their bedroom, he wasn't there, he let out a disappointed sigh and went to take a shower. Liam didn't tell him he was going out, the bad man made him get off work early only to meet an empty house."I am going to make him pay,"He said as he walked back into the bedroom and lay down, now he wished he had stayed at the office and just closed by four."Maybe he went to get something and of course, he won't expect me to be back early and I don't expect him to stay indoors all day long,"He said to himself again picking up his phone, he wanted to call him but decided against it, he should be happy that Liam was getting out of the house."Just going to be a good boy and wait for my love to come home, please come quickly,"He got off the bed and went to take a cold shower, dressed in his evening robe, and went to lay back down on the bed."Liam appear!"He sai

The rest of the week went by in a blur, okay in a blissful blur, everyday, he woke up in Liam's arms and got ready for work while Liam makes him breakfast, after that he lived for work and gets back in time for them to spend the evening together in each other's company, it was fun and they spent some of those time just talking and planning for their future together and how many kids they would eventually have, those times, they were so precious and dear to his heart."Why are you smiling? You look weird,"Liam teased and Jordan rolled his eyes."That's how you say good morning? What a man,"He responded getting off the bed, he hated that he had to go to work this morning but he loved his job, so yup, he walked into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came back out he met Liam in the room."Babe? Did you still tell your parents we are coming around tomorrow?*Liam asked and his eyes widened, he forgot, he didn't even call his parents back, he was sure a bad son, he hurriedly got

Jordan woke up the next morning feeling guilty, for some odd reasons, he kept thinking he was forgetting something important or rather someone important and he couldn't figure out what or who."Why are you frowning first thing in the morning baby?"Liam asked. He didn't know he was awake."Good morning, I don't know, I just feel there is something I need to do that I have not done, I just don't know, I feel like I remember in my dream but I can't seem to figure out what now that I am awake,"He responded. Liam pulled him up to a sitting position."Okay, let's think about this together, what do you think this might be about? Work? Us? Your best friend? Something you need to buy?"Liam asked and Jordan racked his brains but nothing clicked."I dunno,"He concluded going to get his phone, he checked the time and it was still early, just a few minutes past six am, the photo of his goddaughter on his screen made him smile."Is that Kat's daughter? She is beautiful,"Liam admired and it was

"Why are you picking at your plate, Liam?"Jordan's mom asked and he looked up to see her watching him, he didn't notice he wasn't eating, he smiled at her hoping she would let him slide but she gave him the look that his mom always gives him when he does that and he knew he needed to explain but his mom beat him to it."That's his habit,"She said and the two women turned towards each other talking about him right in front of him, strangely, he loved it, seeing them talking about him just felt right to him."Moms, you both are mean! Don't say that to his face,"Jordan scolded defending him. He smiled and held his hand under the table."What? You are going to defend his bad behavior?"His mom asked and Jordan was going to say something but he pulled at his hand."Don't worry about me babe, I am okay,"He said and Jordan eyes him."I didn't say you were not okay,"He said and pulled his hands away from his, he laughed and looked up at the other men in the room, they were eating in sile

"We understand,"He responded. Jordan was quiet."Jordan? Are you mad at us?"His mom asked and Jordan smiled."No, I am not, I am okay with it,"He said."Good, now let's go have fun, the dads were chickens and ran away,"Jordan's mom said."I would have run away too,"He responded as he got up and pulled Jordan with him as they walked out of the house together.The rest of the day was spent doing different activities together, it was fun in all, Liam could get used to it, to live with both of their parents and then having fun and just being in each other's presence, they had lunch outside the house and dinner too, after dinner, he and Jordan said goodnight and went up to their room."Liam, what did I do to find you in my life?"Jordan asked when they were alone, Liam looked at him confused as to why he was asking that."Why?""You don't get it? The way you answered our moms earlier today and gave them a better option, I would have gotten angry and it would have ended in both me and
