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 fine,""Are you taking your drugs?""Yes, mom,"He lied, he hasn't taken the drugs in over seven days and he was fine with not taking them, if he were with his mom she would nag him into taking them every day, which is why he moved far away from home, but his parents weren't ready to have that discussion with him, they still want him to continue being under their shield but that wasn't what he wanted, it hasn't been what he wanted since he turned eighteen but it had taken him almost ten years to finally break free from them, and now they want him to return home, he was sure if they knew he lived in a hotel here and work multiple jobs they would cry or go into full panic mode, especially his mom but this is how he wanted to live, experience life like any other human and just be normal."I don't even know if I should believe you, son, you barely took your drug when you were home with us not to talk of now that you are on your own, I can't help but be worried about you son,""Mom, there is nothing to be worried about, you are talking to me right now, right? And I am speaking well with you, you just need to trust me,""I am trying to do just that son, but you don't have a very good record of taking care of your health and it is very disturbing,"His mom responded, she knew what she was saying was the truth that he was in fact doing exactly what she was so worried about but it was his choice, he was tired of depending on drugs, he just wants to be a normal twenty-six years old young man with his whole life ahead of him, even though it might just be for a short time."Mom, I have to go, I have works to do,"He said, hoping his mom would listen but she didn't."Liam, you should come back home my son, stop doing this to us,"Liam listen to his mom plead, he felt like a horrible son letting his mom beg him but he didn't have a choice, they weren't letting him make his own life choices, they just want to boss him and baby him and he wasn't going to have that."Mom I am not a kid anymore, if only you can just keep that in mind maybe we won't have to talk about the same thing over and over again, just let it go, mom, as I am not going to change my mind whatever you say or do.""This is the worst thing your dad and I fear the most and we didn't even see it coming, Liam, you are not being fair, you are being so selfish, this shouldn't be your decision alone, we have a right to be a part of it since we gave you life,""Mom, enough please, I didn't get to make many choices during my birth, I haven't made any choices all through my life, and this one time, I really want things to go my own way, if that's what it takes to be selfish then I am just going to be selfish, I am sorry mom, I am hanging up,"He said and dropped the call while his mom was still talking, he turned off his phone and slipped it into his scrub pocket just as someone walked into the pharmacy where he worked."Hi, welcome, how may I he***"He greeted and paused when he saw who it was that showed up in his office, no other than the guy who hated him for no reason, Jordan, he still didn't know why Jordan had so much hatred for him when they have barely crossed part the first time he met the dude, he had been in a foul mood, and even taken his jokes the wrong way."Hi, I brought your money, thanks for the ride yesterday,"He said slipping his hands in his pocket and bringing out some cash, Liam stared at him, no but he couldn't imagine he came all the way here to give him the money."I don't need the money, I wasn't doing it to get paid,"He said pushing the money back away, the guy jumped when their hands touched as if he had a disease or something."I don't like freebies, hate it with a passion so please take your money,""And I said that I don't want it, didn't you hear that? Don't worry, it's nothing special,""I never said it was special, I mean you are someone who is homeless, you might need to money,"He responded, slipping the cash into his trouser pocket, and bringing out his phone, he started to type in the account number on the way, which was put there for people that didn't want to pay with cash or a card."Stop, I did it for free, I don't need your money,""And I don't need your charity,""Dude, just give me the money and live, you are such a mood killer,"Liam said stretching his hands, Jordan handed money to him and turned to leave, hissing loudly."Jordan,""What?""You are handsome,"Liam said without thinking twice, he wasn't joking for real, the dude was beyond handsome, and he had the perfect body and face that anyone would want to have."I know,"Liam watched as the dude left, the guy was in a mood and even though he hated him, Liam liked his presence, maybe because he was jealous of him and his freedom to do whatever he wants without annoying parents breathing down on his throat, he had listened to his conversation with his mom and it was different from the way he was with his own mom, in Liam's case his mom won't be happy waiting outside, neither would she have slapped him on the back for keeping her waiting, she would have instead been inspecting him for any damages as if he was breakable, yes he was sick, he wasn't like every other person but still, he won't break and that's why he left home, to prove to his parents that he could be on his own and be just fine.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
He finally finished cleaning the hotel room by a few minutes past twelve in the afternoon and decided to go get some things he might need from the store house where his properties were being kept, he had packed the whole thing up in a hurry as they hadn't been any warning before the emergency evacuation from his old place, his rent wasn't even due yet, he had paid two years advance and had only lived in the house for three months before he had to leave, of course, he asked for a refund, but till now, the owner was still making up excuses as to why he hasn't gotten it yet, one of which is the house will be ready in no time, which wasn't true as he had spent a whole month waiting for the apartment to be fixed, if he hadn't met Katrina who had then offered to help him, he would probably have lived in this hotel for longer than three months, he plans on suing the man if by the end of six months he doesn't get a refund as he has no plans of going back to the apartment.It took longer than
"You are not welcome here, I am just doing this for Katrina, nothing more, you better avoid me as much as you can because I won't want to have to throw you out,"Jordan responded, the nerve of the dude to think they can be friends, he already regrets agreeing with Katrina but he couldn't take back his words so he had to put up with the dude for the next one or two months, he hopes he doesn't stay longer than that."I understand but I was hoping that we can at least coexist, I am not as bad as you think I am,""I don't care, avoid me as much as you can okay, there is food in the kitchen if you wanna eat, I am out of here,"Jordan said and left him there, going into the room opposite the one he gave him, the dude was such a mood killer, suddenly Jordan didn't like his anymore, he got his phone, changed his clothes and decided to go for a walk to clear his head and get his mind back, he already knew he would be needing a hell lot of patience to be able to put up with his unwanted flatmat
