Jordan looked bored at the screen, there was nothing fun about working today, he wasn't even looking forward to going home because Liam has still not shown his face and it has been five days since he left with his parents, apart from the second day that he called that he will be home the next day, he hasn't called him since, his mom did call though, to tell him he was fine and would be back soon and that was it, she didn't tell him why he wasn't coming home and all, he wanted to ask but she had hung up before he did."Jordan? Are you even here?"Jordan heard Philip's voice, he looked around to see his teammates watching him."Huh, what did you say?""I am asking for the outcome of your meeting with Mrs. Will,""Mrs. Will? I am supposed to meet up with her?"Jordan asked confused."Yes, you are, didn't you?""No, I didn't know I was supposed to,""What? I told you that yesterday, you were supposed to meet her today, seriously dude what the fuck is wrong with you?""Phil, no swear words
"Wow, that's it, finally,"Mrs. Will said that after hours of going over various designers and patterns, she was professional and very helpful that it didn't seem too hard to do."Yeah, finally, you did well ma'am,""No, you did most of the work,""Thank you so much for your time Mrs. Will, and thanks for answering all my questions, I had fun today working with you,"Jordan said as he stood up to leave."It's the same for me Jordan, I always look forward to sharing ideas and working with you, good job,""Thank you, ma'am, I will get going now I still have to finish this and submit it tomorrow, we were supposed to do it today but because I forgot our meeting it has to be tomorrow,""Oh, okay, I wish you good luck Jordan,""You to ma'am,"Jordan replied, picked up his bag, and exited the cafe, it was already closing hour but he needed to finish the work today so he headed back to the office to do just that, he wasn't doing anything at home and he didn't want to be lonely neither did he
Jordan was finally able to get off work by almost ten pm, he got on the elevator, tiredly waiting for it to get down, he stared at his phone again, still no call from the man who claims to love him, he tired his line again, but as it did before, it didn't go through, he grudgingly said goodnight to the security men as he got into the car and drove home, the whole state was light up, and still busy, there was no sleep in New York, after all, if he was in a good mood he could have gone to have a drink or two but he wasn't in the mood and he also had to get to work early the next day, when he got home, he went up to his bedroom took off his clothes and went to take a bath, he hasn't been to Liam's room since he left, he didn't want to miss him even more."Just come back home already Liam,"He whispered as he got out of the shower, he looked around his room, he didn't want to sleep here this night, he went out of his room and walked to Liam's room, he opened the door as the familiar scent
"You called me sir?""Yes, I wanted to let you know that you have to go to California tomorrow, and be back by Friday,"He informed."That's so sudden?""Yes, the office over there wants our help and there was no one else I can send, so, if you don't mind,"Jordan resisted the urge to roll his eyes if he doesn't mind? Of course, he minds, but what would he say?"Alright sir, just so you know I am used to flying private jets so you have to arrange that okay?"He asked jokingly, his team leader started laughing."Because I am who? Lucas Evans? Don't worry, you can always call him to lend us his jet if you want to fly private so bad, but if not, dude you got to stick with the official plane,"He responded."See, that's a private plane too, this is the best place to work at,"He said."I agree, so you can leave work early today, after our meeting so that you can get ready for the trip to California,""Okay, but is no one else coming with me?"He asked, usually, they always go in groups or
Liam stared grudgingly at his mom and dad, they didn't seem remorseful or anything and they were even being chatty in his presence, those two are going get his drought so bad they will wish they hadn't done this to him, keep him in a hospital for one week with no communication to the aside world not even with Jordan and he knew Jordan would be worried sick already and probably mad at him too, he preferred the latter, he didn't like the thought of Jordan being worried."Can I have my phone back now? The doctor said it is okay?"He asked and his parents stop talking for a moment and stared at him then they faced each other, he waited patiently for them to decide, they finally made their decision and his mom walked toward him holding the phone."Are you finally going to tell him?"His mom asked and he gave a death glare, he wasn't going to do that he just wanted to reassure Jordan that he was okay and he shouldn't worry, he has been off the grid for over one week now."I am just going to
Jordan drove happily to the airport, after speaking with Liam ok the phone last night, he suddenly felt more alive, he had been about to sleep when Liam had called him, at first he didn't want to pick up but he missed him too much to let the call pass, then Liam had told him why he couldn't keep his phone on and his anger had drained away immediately, not like he could be angry with the man for long, he understood Liam and his parents too, it was something his parents could do but then again his parents chased him out of their house after he spent only two night, that's how they love him."Airplane mode,"He said out loud as he parked his car where it would be until he returns from California, normally he won't drive to the airport or park there because the cost is much but he had to return to work immediately he returns from California so he chose to leave his car at the airport, he hated taking taxis and prefers to drive himself, the last time he had taken a taxi had been when Liam
Jordan stepped out of his hotel room and decided to go for a walk since his hotel wasn't far from the Santa Monica beach, it has been a while he went to the beach, even back home in New York, the last time he had gone to a beach should be over two years ago, he was more of a club person even though he rarely does those these days because Liam wasn't much of an outing person, so now he prefers to stay indoors if Liam does ever come to Los Angeles with him, he was sure they would spend the whole time they would be here indoors.The hot afternoon sun bathed him as he walked, looking at the people who were swimming, some sitting at the edge of the beach and others just sunbathing, he suddenly felt lonely seeing people walk in pairs."There is no need to be jealous, you are here for work and also you have a boyfriend, a very loving one at that,"He muttered to himself as he continued his walk, there weren't really many people on the beach, he knew there would be more later seeing that it i
"Gigg, I just arrived back in New York, I will meet you guys soon,"Jordan said as he picked up his luggage and headed out of the airport."You should rest Jordan, you just got back from a trip, we aren't doing much right now, you can join us tomorrow,"Gigg responded, he had been added to a group chat where, everyone had talked and agreed that they will meet today, before the wedding that would be held tomorrow, Jordan had thought he would arrive much earlier but then his flight got delayed for four hours, still didn't know why Gina choose a Tuesday wedding but it was cool so long as she is happy that's all that matters, Jordan's wish is for everyone he knew to be happy because he planned on being happy for a long long time and he didn't see anything stopping that not when he had Liam with him and his friends and family too."Okay, thanks, tell Gina that I won't be late,"He said and ended the call, he dragged his luggage with him to where he parked his car, got in, and drove towards
