Nova

It was so annoying having to do this, Jordan is just going to make me go crazy but do I have a choice? That is what you get from sleeping with the boss.


"Come over Ms. Lionel" Gabby, the make-up artist called me over for what I know will end up as hours of make-up.


I went over regardless, it is not like I have a choice, do I? Well.... Now that I think of it, I do.


"Can you pleaseg me few minutes?" I pleaded with Gabby and went over to speak with Drey who was busy talking to someone over the phone.


"Can I call you later?" He asked whoever it was he was speaking with and ended the call. He raised his head up to stare at me, as he was lower than I am in his seated position.


His wide smile almost got me smiling as well but it seemed as though my  anger and concern was way too much compared to his contagious smile.


"What is all these Drey? Modelling? This has nothing to do with the description of my job! Not with Jordan!" I half-yelled at Drey who just stared at me like a dumbo. For a moment I thought he heard nothing until he laughed loudly like the crazy ass idiot he was.


"What do you find funny? This is sick!" I was yelling this time, he really needs to take me seriously. He gave me a smirk I think was stupid.


"That is what you get from refusing me twice in a row" he replied me almost in a whisper, probably so others would not hear.


"Really? Whatever happened with not mixing work with pleasure?" I asked with my arms crossed over my chest, I really would not back down, anything to get me out of this.


He hit his palm over his face and heaved a heavy sigh. I know, this is annoying but I maintained my position.


"Look, do this for me okay? I'd pay you back greatly" he told me sweetly with a wink. No way, I don't want this.


"No, not with Jordan"


"And why not?" Jordan asked from no where, his stupid self just had to appear here right? Good!


"Because I hate you Jordan, because you don't deserve to be here, Your presence alone pisses me off, I can't do anything right because of you. You jerk!" I wish I could say all that right now but I couldn't, not with Drey here, our past can forever remain a secret between us.


"Because it is not my job and I am not good at it, you could do it alone that is if you are sure you can" knowing Jordan, a challenge is the only way to get him.


"What? I can, watch me!"

________________

Avoiding Drey can't solve the whole issue at hand, fighting Miley also can't but more so, avoiding Jordan also can't. What he did actually is not unforgivable but his reaction to it is what was unforgivable, oh I am not done with the story.


After the whole detention issue, we met again but this time, not in school.


I was busy getting my nails done at the nail salon when a figure appeared in front of me and to my utmost surprise it was the one and only Jordan Myers.


"What do you want?" I asked uninterested and also rolled my eyes for more drama.


"You! If that is possible" he replied with the so old line.


"That is so last year jerk, if you have nothing important to do, get lost!" I told him stressing the last part.


He went quiet for a while looking like he was thinking of what to say, cat got his tongue, I guess.


"I am here for a manicure darling" he replied and left. For no certain reason I felt sad, I thought he was going to stay longer, try to reach out, did he get bored that quickly?


I'm stupid and I know, I don't like him yet I love the attention. Oh, common it is a girl thing if you might ask.


When you have a hard time trying to understand your mixed feelings for a boy, a girls night in is the only answer and that was what I did. A girls night in!


Trish

Miley

Honey.


Those were my friends, crazy friends! The ones who bail me out from shits like this, it's not my first.


First was Tony.


Tony was a really good friend in junior school until he started liking me but, I was always blowing hot and cold. Not that I did not like him but we have been friends for so long and I was not sure if that was what I wanted. Guess what bailed me? A girl night in.


I invited my friends and they were like this.


"No way! Tony is like the most stupid nerd ever!" Trish said, she was always against everything!


"But a handsome one" Miley shot in and yeah, Tony was handsome and still is.


"The question is, do you like him?" Honey asked me and the three pairs of eyes were glued to my face. That was the problem, I was not sure.


"I'm not so sure, he is cool though"


"Well... Just go with the flow" that was the suggestion after they went on a few minutes meeting, yeah, I know, stupid.


Those meetings always went this way.


"I think he is cute"


"Yes very, but good?"


Nah.... Yes...


"Maybe give him a shot" or "no way"


I know, I have been part of several meetings like that. My crazy friends, so I went with the flow with Tony and it ended quite well with us as being just friends.

    JordanI can't believe Nova lived this long just waving at her neighbor and never even exchanged names."We inviting her for Thanksgiving and that is it" I told her firmly and watched her grumble.No she doesn't hate her neighbor but she thinks it is better the way they are. No unecesary drama but I think that excuse is lame.She sluggishly got up but eventually went to invite her neighbor whose name we don't know."The most shocking discovery ever, she is Karen Myers, legal wife of your brother Jayden" Nova said as she walked in, following behind is the said woman looking as innocent as ever.I have never been this surprised, Jayden never told a soul about getting married until his death."Jayden had a wife?" I said more of a question that a statement."Had?" The two women asked, I never thought it was important telling Nova but I guess his wife

Whatever happened while I was away?"Oh please, you know I was just pissed, how was the trip?" He asked and for some reason I was really happy he is no longer pissed."Really great!" I replied him and turned to leave, only to bump into someone and my bag fell, every single thing inside of it scattered all over the reception."I'm sorry ma'am" the not so familiar worker told me and I just waved it, I have a bigger task of getting my things together, it was u

    Nova's POVI rolled in my bed, my alarm must have beeped hours ago but I don't even know if I can face Drey at work today, not after what happened yesterday.It was all my fault, I shouldn't have used him the way I did, I knew I didn't love him, I kept making him hope.

I asked, just then Rita walked into the living room. She stared at the woman in shock, what?
