"Hello?"
Jordan let out as he tried to wake himself up, he hadn't even bothered to check who was calling him, he rubbed his eyes to fight off sleep looking around to make sure he slept in his bed, okay not his bed, he was still at the hotel, he had a terrible headache and he knew his hangover would be even worst, thank God it was a weekend, he was just going to spend it nursing his hangover, he checked the clock and it was past ten am."Jordan? Are you even listening to me?"The voice on the other end shouted, he moved his phone off his ears, his mom was always so loud in the morning, and having to hear her voice when his head was pounding wasn't the best kind of moment."Mom, what do you want? I am trying to sleep here,""Oh, you annoying child, where did you spend the night? I am at your apartment,""What?"He yelled getting up, bad idea because his head started spinning her had to sit back down, his mom always shows up at his house unannounced, and always when he is not around, wait, fuck! She didn't know he moved."Mom, I moved,"He said waiting for the outburst and it came, he moved his phone from his ears to reduce the impact."You crazy child, how can you move without telling us? Are you crazy? And you ignored your dad and me at Katrina's wedding, who does that?""Mom, I didn't ignore you, I was busy,"He lied, he had ignored them, since he broke things off with Kelvin, his parents especially his mom has been on his case about finding someone else and have even set him up on dates, not to be ungrateful, he was happy his parents were supportive and did their best for him but they could be very controlling which he didn't like one bit, he was a full-grown Twenty-eight years old man yet his mom still expect him to show up home every weekend and also be present at every family gathering, heck the height of it is that his parents still expect him to have a curfew."So? What do we do? We are at your former place, can't believe you moved without telling us, that such a disgrace attitude son,""Mom, Katrina moved out of her apartment and it's bigger and closer to work that's why I moved here, I haven't told you because I have been busy, this is why you should have called me that you were coming over, that way you don't have to stay out,""Whatever, so where is the new apartment?""Mom, can't you just go home? I don't feel like moving right now,""You better get your ass off where ever you are and come running here if you don't want me to do something you won't like,""Yes, mom,"He replied getting off the bed, one thing is to be a grown-up and another thing is to disobey his mom, he won't hear the end of it, he started pulling on his shirt when his phone rang again, causing understand his breath, he picked up, it was his director, wondering why he was calling him on a Sunday, he picked up."Sir?""Jordan, sorry I am disturbing you but it can't wait, I think there is a mix-up with the pattern sent, I got a call and no one else from our team is close to the office, so I was wondering if you can just help us go through it and send the right one, it can't wait till Monday, in case you are going to say that.""Okay sir, I will go do that,"He responded, he didn't want any long talk, since he knew he would still be the one to do it, the only problem was his banging head, he went to the restroom and took a cold shower, it didn't help his cause, another reason why he should really quit drinking, the morning after wasn't always pleasant.He made a stop at the reception and asked the reception there a few questions hoping to get a hint of the guy he spent a night with but she seemed not to have any record of anyone aside for him and his name was the one they had, so his mystery lover was really mysterious, which made it even more that he should find him, he needed to find that do and get even with.As he left the hotel, he suddenly remembered that his parents were waiting for him at his old apartment, well they are just going to have to wait for him longer. He dialed his mom's number as he hailed a taxi."Where are you Jordan Darius Bach?!!"His mom yelled into the phone, Jordan moved his phone out of his ears to prevent him from going deaf, his mom was a screamer, and adding to the fact that she was pissed, he felt guilty for making her wait even though it wasn't his fault."Mom, I have to go somewhere real quick so I am texting you the address, I will meet you there,""Wait what? Are you out of your mind?"His mom yelled again."Mom, calm down, I was called, I need to get to the office real quick, okay? I will be there shortly, just stay in the car mom, I love you, bye,"He said and ended the call, he knew his mom would probably kill him this time but he didn't have a choice."Please, take me to Evans cooperation,"He said as he boarded a taxi, going to the office."Why are you going to work on a Sunday? What kind of work do you do?"The taxi driver asked, Jordan looked at him but he couldn't make out his face because of his mask."Is that a problem? Why are you asking? Don't you think it is rude to ask?""Why? What's rude there? Can't I ask questions? It's not really normal to go to work on a weekend, so I don't see how asking is rude,"Okay, Jordan didn't know who the driver was but he concluded he didn't like him, as he didn't have the strength, not the time to pick a fight, he choose to keep his mouth shut and choose to use that time to think about the event of last night, he still felt sore so it definitely happened but the big question was, with who did it happen with? He couldn't come up with a face no matter how hard he thinks, he didn't remember talking to anyone the night before, and didn't remember leaving either, whoever it was must have paid with cash which would explain why the hotel receptionist didn't have anything, he almost thought he paid with his card until he had checked his bank statement and account number, not a penny was missing.He walked fast into the office and did what he came for as quickly as he could, the whole building was silent as everyone was home for the wicked, only a few workaholics were seen around, he greeted them as he made his way out, he was surprised to see the nosy taxi driver waited for him, he happily got into the taxi again and instructed him to drive to his apartment."Where the heck are you? We have been standing here for almost three hours,"His mom yelled when he picked up the call, the woman never gets tired of yelling at him, peck if being an only child, sometimes he wished he had a sibling-like his best friend but some wishes never come true, his mom had cancer right after his birth, of course, she fought and won but lost the ability to bear more kids after that, and that's why he was stuck being their only child and the center of their attraction, little wonder how they are so supportive of him, nah, no one wonders that, his parents are overbearing but they were his best best friends after Katrina."Mom, I am almost there, you should have either called me that you were coming over to my house or at least go home first, like I said earlier, I told you I had to make a stop at the office, I wasn't capping, it took a little longer, I am almost home, just wait for me okay? Like a good mom and dad,”He said knowing his mom would probably be trying
Liam stared at his phone that has been ringing non-stop, he was this close to throwing the phone away but he knew if he did that, his mom would probably die of panicking, or she will be on the next available flight to New York, he didn't want her to do either of those the phone stopped ringing and he wished she wouldn't call again, but she did, his mom never give up, not even when things are not looking her way."Mom,"He said finally taking the call, he couldn't ignore her anymore."Liam, son,""Mom, I am busy, you shouldn't be calling me during work hours, I have a lot to do here,"He scolded even though he knew she won't listen, his mom was one of a kind, she used to be his best friend that was until they wanted different things, he knew she had his best interest at heart but still, he would have preferred if she had respected his wish and let him make his own life decisions."I am sorry son, I know you are busy but I had to call and check up on you, how are you doing?""Mom, I am
Liam spent the rest of the day trying to get his work done without overdoing it, even though he wanted the freedom to do things himself and just live by his own rules, he knew overdoing it might cause him a lot, he wasn't like other people no matter how he tried to think he was, he couldn't be it no matter how he tries, he has always been the sick child, the weak one, the one who couldn't do certain things, who couldn't engage in certain activities, he didn't have a normal childhood, spent most of his days either at the hospital or at home, he had been homeschooled and when he had told his parents he wanted to become a neurologist they had been so worried, they had pushed him to do pharmacy instead, in their words, it was better and requires less work, well he had listened now he wishes he had gone with his original course of choice, don't get it wrong, he loves his job but he still feels he would have been better as a neurologist.After work, he decided to go over to see his baby, Bl
Jordan walked into the office on Monday morning hoping to get answers from Philip or his girlfriend, he wanted answers and he wanted to get it soon, his mystery lover wasn't showing up and Jordan wasn't one who did one night stands especially not when whoever banged him did such a good job at it, he wanted to meet this person no matter what and have a taste again, and also talk to the person, maybe get to know him and just maybe he could do love again, funny how he was considered that because of someone he wasn't even sure of."Hey Eliza, can I talk to you for a moment?"Jordan asked her as she walked into the office, not even giving her a chance to sit down."Sorry I jumped you, I have something I really wanna know,""it's not a problem Jordan, you can ask,""Okay, thank you, so the thing is I want to know if you saw me talking to anyone on Saturday night and if you dont mind telling me who it was,"Jordan inquired hoping she had the answers he needed."You were with someone? I am so
"I am sorry I couldn't be of help to you Jord,"Greg said after a fruitless search."It's fine, you did your best, I guess it was never met to be,"He said as he got off the seat and made to leave, Greg pulled him back, his hands on each side of his waist, Jordan looked up at him in shock, he didn't have time to process it before Greg's lips came crashing on his, Jordan surrender to the pressure of his lips in his, he held onto him, grabbing his hair and deepening the kiss."Greg, what was that for?"He asked when they finally broke apart, his lips stinging, he touched it still in shock over the kiss"That? I wanted to cheer you up, you looked so down,""Are you drunk Greg? You ain't gay, plus you have a girlfriend,""I am not drunk, just tipsy, yes I have a girlfriend but she will understand that I was just trying to cheer up a friend, I didn't cheat on her, and besides Classy and I are both polygamous, what more, I may not be gay but I am bi,"Greg revealed, Jordan didn't know what
Jordan hummed along to his favorite song as he got ready for work, he didn't know why but for some weird reason, he was in a really good mood today, he danced as he brushed his teeth, smiling at his reflection."You are not so bad facial, Jordan, in fact, you are hot, it must be nice being you,"He said to himself, smiling proudly, yes his parents may be emotional bullies but at least they passed their good lucks to him, he wasn't lacking in any way, he got the face and the body that if he were into girls, he was sure he would have been a Playboy, not that he can't still be a Playboy but he was the one always catching feelings, which ends ruining the fun, imagine catching feelings for a stranger, he hasn't been able to get over even after almost two weeks, yeh, that's how much of a goner he was, he was proud of it.He took a bath after brushing and stood in front of his mirror, his body, his body his groin was relaxed but still, anyone could tell that he was loaded down there too, adm
"Jordan, my husband wants to speak with you, just listen to him please,"Kat said, yeah right, he wasn't going to listen, his mind was made up, there was nothing anyone could say to make him reconsider."Hey, man, what's up?"Lucas asked, Jordan rolled his eyes, this was his boss, the owner of Evans cooperation and he just hey, maned him, well not that he wasn't used to it, ever since they bonded over their mutual love for Katrina, they pretty much became a best friend, yeah, imagine being best friend with the boss and the owner of a co-operation as big as Evan's cooperation, the dude was worth billionaires, hotels, resorts, even a private Uni, talk about money, well Lucas was humble and nice despite all that money, even though until he and Katrina had become a thing, he had thought the man was full of himself."What? Don't do it, I already made up my mind,"Jordan replied in a determined voice."I am not doing anything, I am just gonna tell you that if you don't help then I will, I h
Liam woke up by his phone ringing, he had slept late last night after working his night shift, he didn't like being disturbed especially when he is trying to catch up on lost sleep, whoever is calling better have something nice to say or else, he will be mad, he took back everything he said when he saw the caller."Hey, babe,"He voiced trying to sound as sweet as he can."Don't you dare babe me, you have been avoiding me and you think I won't notice?""Come more Blake, I wasn't avoiding you, I have been busy, one of the pharmacists quit and I have to work two-shift until someone else is employed,""That's such a stupid excuse when you have time to hang out with other people,""What do you mean Blake?""I saw your photos from the wedding, for someone who claims to be busy, you had time to go to a wedding when I ask for us to do things together, you either claim to be too busy or exhausted, tell me Liam, am I in a relationship with myself? What am I gaining from this relationship? We h
