I heard you got engaged, congratulations man! Even though you didn't bother to tell me,"He said and Jordan let out a nervous laugh."Boss, we are at the office,""Okay, I know,""Really Lucas?"He asked looking around, Lucas did too but he might not have wen anything wrong with him being here, again that was making everyone else uncomfortable, Lucas was the unreachable boss before he got together with Kat and now he was sitting next to him."Okay, okay, I get it,

Mom? It is still early in the morning you know,"He

"Kelvin, the only reason I am meeting you is because you said it is important, so go straight to the point, I don't have all day,"Jordan said. He shouldn't be here in the first place but he didn't want Kelvin showing up at the apartment, his phone had rung when Jordan got up from the bed and he had been shocked by who called him, he didn't even know how he got his new number, but he wasn't even going to ask, all he needed to do was block him after this meetup, he is supposed to be at home with Liam getting ready to move to the hospital."You look good,"Kelvin said and Jordan eyed him."Bro, the fuck do you want from me? You said it was important,""Why are you so hostile towards me Jordan? I just want to make peace with you, can't you see that?"Kelvin asked and Jordan let out a breath to prevent himself from saying anything that might be offensive. here he was sitting with Kelvin at a park when he should be home with Liam, he couldn't believe he drop all the way here for this, Kelv

This wasn't going the way Jordan thought it would, Liam just stood there staring at him obviously disappointed but he wasn't saying anything which was worst than talking and them fighting. He knew he was wrong for just leaving without telling him."Liam? Aren't you going to say a word to me?"He couldn't help asking, Liam looked as if he was going to say something but kept quiet again, Jordan stood waiting for fir him to say something, anything, he should clear the air and tell him why he met up with Kelvin."Liam, say something, will you, I can't stand your silence right now, please,"He whispered."I don't know, I don't want to sound offensive but I don't know what to say that won't be considered offensive because I feel offended for some reasons and it might be unreasonable so I am trying to settle whatever dispute I have within before saying anything,"Liam responded. He was being sincere with his feelings which Jordan found admirable but then again, he shouldn't keep his conflict

They got to the hospital a little later than they had planned, it was all his fault so Jordan didn't say a word, they didn't meet the surgeon at the hospital as he was on break and would be around in the early hours of tomorrow, they were lewd to the VIP room in the hospital, it was a whole room to themselves, they just dropped off Liam's bag and they had to go do some tests."I feel like all this poking is just a deliberate act to make me feel pain even though it might not be needed,"Liam said as the phlebotomist drew his blood making the young man laugh."That's not true,"The phlebotomist said in between laughers."I am saying that's it, because what's the point and what more, I know you, you have pierced so many holes in my skin than I can count, why didn't you store those blood,"Liam complained."We can't store the blood because after a while it can't be used again, as the analysis carried out with such blood won't be accurate,"The young man explained."Just say you are scared

"I can't believe my best friend is going to get married, wow, I am so happy, this is the best thing that had ever happened to me,"Katrina said when she walked into his room, he rolled his eyes at her."Yeah, right, so you mean you pick this moment over your own wedding and when your two devil-angels Steria and Moon were born? I will like to see you say that when Lucas is here,"He teased."Why can't you just let me have a man? Why do you always have to be such a show spoiler? I was having fun and you just had to mention the reasons for my sleepless nights,"She said with a sad pout."Oh, I am going to add that to the list of things I am going to gossip to your husband,"He said and she glared at him."Are you my best friend or are you Lucas's spy?"She asked laying on his bed."That's the bed I spend almost every night ticking Liam on,"He announced and she was up in seconds, brushing the invisible stain off her body with a disgusted look."What the fuck? You could have warned me or

Liam rolled over on the bed and smiled when his body came in contact with another, he popped his eyes open to see Jordan sleeping peacefully beside him, memories of the night before flashing through his mind, he couldn't believe it, they were good again, he got him back, Jordan was his again, and his life just got better."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked as he opened his eyes, Liam felt his heart skip a beat, they never really resolved anything, all Jordan had said was for him to kiss him, what if this wasn't what he thought it was, what if Jordan just wanted them to have sex? He really didn't like the direction his mind was going and shook off the thoughts."Now why are you frowning so early in the morning? Did you have a bad dream??""No, I just, I am just,""What? You are lost for words? Good, that means I did well,"Jordan said touching his face, he still couldn't believe that this was all real, he knew he needed to apologize for real now, so he sat up."Jordan,

Jordan looked up from what he had been doing when his phone rang, he checked who it was and dropped the phone back, it was Liam's mom calling him, he didn't know what to tell her, what could he say when he told his son to fuck off, maybe she wanted to tell him to stay away from her son, he knew that wasn't possible, the phone stopped ringing and he went back to working silently but a few minutes later, it rang again, this time, he decided to pick up."Good day, mom,"He greeted as he walked out of the office towards the resting area, thankfully, no one was in, he entered and sat down."Hi, son, I am sorry to disturb you,"She responded."It's not a problem mom, it must be urgent since you are calling me, what is it?"He asked even though he already had an idea of what she might be calling for."His are you doing Jordan?"She shows shocking him, he shouldn't be shocked by her caring, she has never stopped, ever since Christmas, when she had gotten his contact again, she had made sure t

Like he expected it wasn't going to be easy getting Jordan back but that didn't mean he wa going to give up, no he wasn't, Jordan endured a lot and him giving up right after the first rejection would be him not trying at all, he wasn't going to back out until Jordan takes him back, he didn't want live life without him by his side, there won't be a reason for his living then.Once again he was at Jordan’s apartment waiting for him even after he has been rejected every day for the past two weeks, he just couldn’t give up, he saw Jordan’s car and got out of his, running to him before he could enter his apartment.“You are here again? What the fuck?”Jordan asked glaring at him.“Yes, I am,”He answered.“Why can't you just take a hint and leave me alone? Stop coming here, stop trying please just stop, there is no point doing all of these, I won't go back to you, I have made up my mind and nothing you can do will change that,"Jordan yelled at him."Please don't push me away Jordan, I beg

"What? What do you fucking have to say to me now Liam? What?"Jordan yelled at him, he couldn't even bring himself to believe that this was even real, that Liam was here, and that he was finally whole, that he finally remembered."How could you leave just because I asked you to? You said you love me Jordan, that you will never leave me but you did, you fucking left me and took all traces of us that would have let me remember anything from me, there was no sign of you in the house we shared, nothing, and you went away,"Liam let out, Jordan couldn't believe he was saying all these to him after everything he put him through, right now he had a lot on his mind, Kat went into labor when they were on the phone together and he was worried about her.“What are you even talking about?”“Why didn’t you stay? You said you would no matter what,”Liam said."You didn't give me the chance to stay Liam, don't talk like I just left you, you told me to get off your face, you told me I wasn't welcomed
