ログイン"We're fling buddies?!" I screamed alongside his family and my mother
He kicked my leg under the table. I understood the signal but I wasn't going to agree to that nonsense.
Why would I agree to being his fling buddy.
Then how do you plan to stay normal, Eva Dolce? A taunting voice which sounded like Jordan's, sang in my head
Urgh! Now he was in my head
"Now that i remember, I thought you said JORDAN denied you a job interview yesterday?" My mother asked, raising her eyebrow at me.
"Yeah, He did. I wonder why he would do that to his fling buddy?" I smiled halfly at him, averting all their attention to him. I wasn't going to let anyone put me under the knife
He shrugged. "I didn't want my personal life mixing with business. You know me, mother" He smiled casually at his mother. She smiled brightly, nodding her head
"My boy likes to keep his private life away from his work life. This is actually an awesome news." Isabelle smiled at us. "From fling to -"
"Nothing" I completed. "Flings to nothing, auntie"
She gave me that sly smirk and I didn't like it at all. My eyes darted to Adams. I could feel his eyes burning into my face ever since but couldn't bring myself to look at him.
"How come I've never seen her then?" Adam asked, his eyes on me.
I felt nervous from his stare. He looked at me as though he could see through my lies.
"Because it's not everything you need to know, little brother" Jordan spat, throwing him a dirty glare
Ah, little brother.
"Sure."
"One last announcement." Jordan said, glancing at me before looking at everyone else.
I had a feeling I wouldn't like that one.
"I'm going to like this one" Nana spoke from where she sat in the parlor
"I would want to get to know Eva better and so I would want her to live with ....."
The last words sounded faint because my ear had blocked it out. My head was spinning at that point. How did my life get to this point?
"Eva!" The loud sound of my mother's palm banging the table, snapped me out of my drowning thought
"Ye.. yeah?" I jerked, looking round the table. Their eyes pierced through me. I didn't like it at all. I pushed my chair back aggressively, standing up. "Thank you all for the brunch."
With that, I ran back upstairs. I heard Jordan tell them he'd talk to me. I fastened my pace, taking two steps at a time.
"Eva. Eva, wait"
My legs wouldn't stop as they moved on their own accord. My heart was beating fast. Fingers trembled.
Fear or Nervousness? I didn't know.
"Eva" He closed the door behind us, pushing me to the wall, caging me in-between his arms. "What's wrong with you?" He looked down into my face
I bit my lips, unsure of what to say. "This isn't right" my voice came out as a whisper.
"Of course, this isn't right. I don't even want this. I don't want you" He spat. My chest clenched at his words. Slowly, I raised my eyes to meet his - it was empty and cold.
"And you think I want you?" I eyed him. Hissing, I placed my hand on his chest in an attempt to push him away but he wouldn't budge. "Can you give me some damn space?"
"No. Not until we come into an agreement." He raised my chin up. I pushed his hands away from my face.
"I don't -"
"You want to live with my cock? Is that what you want? Do you know how it feels to wake up with a boner every morning? Do you know how it feels when you're horny and you get to fight to control it? Do you -"
"Jesus, it's enough!" I shook my head. "It's enough, please"
"I could go on and on. We can do this for each other. I promise, I don't even want you by my side for long and so I must find a solution to this" He begged, holding my arm softly.
I sighed, exhaling softly. "Only until this is over"
"I swear" His lips curved up into a smile. My pupils dilated as my eyes couldn't peel away from his cute dimpled smile. It was flawless. "Eva... You're looking at me weirdly, it's creepy"
I cleared my throat, pushing him away. "You're suffocating me. Your.. your perfume"
He smirked, keeping a good distance between us. "Yeah, right." He began to walk round my room, picking up my book from the bed. "You read dark romance?"
"Out. Out of my room, Jordan" I pulled my book from his hand, spinning him around.
"I can't go without you" He halted. No matter how hard I tried to push him away, he wouldn't budge.
"You ..."
"You'd end up with my -"
I placed my hand on his mouth, shushing him up. "Don't. Don't complete it"
His hand circled around my waist, holding me closer. He peeled my hand off his mouth before dropping his head down until it got to my neck. His hot breath fanned my neck, making my knees go weak
Thank goodness he was holding me.
"You don't want my cock, Princess? I don't need to brag about it because I'm sure you've seen it already." He whispered.
Urgh!
I struggled to get out of his grip but he wouldn't let me. "If you don't come with me, Princess, I'd make sure that when I go back with your vagina, I'd widen it with a dildo."
What the fuck?
"That's disgusting!" I pushed him away with all my might. "Oh goodness! That sounded too gay"
"Agreed" He nodded, cleaning the side of his mouth. He needed to. "But you get my point"
"I'll go with you but -"
"We need to sign an agreement. A contract of mutuality and no feeling attached" He frowned, tucking his hand in his pocket.
"You think I'd fall for you?" I eyed him up and down.
"Yeah, I'm handsome" He shrugged. "I have money too"
"Your daddy's money, you mean?" I scoffed.
"You - I can't deal with you" He shook his head, turning away.
"Neither can I" I yelled after him. I slammed my door shut, pacing back and forth.
What if we were back to normal. I mean, it's been hours now and I've been myself.
Maybe the Mishap effect was just until you saw the person. It has to be that.
"Hunnie, they're going!" I heard my mother yell for me.
I rolled my eyes, falling on the bed. He can get the fuck out. I doubt I needed him.
When I heard his car horn, I sat up. I began to bite my fingers nervously as I looked out the window. My stomach churned - it was nervousness.
The tingly feeling was building up. I was feeling it. Oh no!
"Mother." I bolted out of my room. "Stop them. Stop them, please!"
"Too late. You didn't listen again" Grandma said in a sing-song manner
"Jordan said his flight leaves by 9pm so he had to go get ready for it" My mother shrugged, picking up the dishes.
Jordan was leaving?
With... With my - No!
No.
Nooooooo. I was doomed.
Eva's POV Jordan's reaction to this lady told me everything I should know.She wasn't an ordinary person.Maybe someone from his past?"You two know each other?" Tolu pointed at the both of them. He probably noticed what I did.My attention moved to them, curious too."Friends. We were good friends." The girl spoke up first, her eyes not leaving Jordan.He still stood frozen for a long while, I had to nudge him by his rib, lightly. "Y..yeah. We were good friends." He repeated, his voice hard. If those words were knife, they would slice a rock, because of how sharp they sounded. My stomach knotted. An uneasy feeling settling at the pit of my stomach."See? You guys should catch up then and rekindle some sparks." Tolu pointed at the empty seats. Then he dragged Gideon with him.Please take her too.I didn't want her here Not when she looked so pretty. She stood tall in her perfect curved shape. She looked liked she was sculpted by some Greek goddess.Now that I was looking at her so
Jordan's POVThings had improved between us.We were almost inseparable and more open to each other.Though deep down, I had an unsettling feeling.An unattended emotion.I just couldn't explore deep into me. It was hard.All I hoped was that it wasn't something that was going to ruin whatever I had going on."I'm so confused as to what to wear." Eva pouted, holding the dresser open. She was standing in just her robe, looking like a large ball of snow."That's a 'you' problem." Chuckling, I buttoned up my shirt.We were getting dressed for the occasion.We arrived in Paris 3 days ago. I wanted us to come earlier so I could show her around; show her off too. She loved it too - she hadn't stopped thanking me."They're both so beautiful. It's all your fault, Jordan. Why'd you get the two." "Cos I loved the two?" I smirked at her. "Of course!" She rolled her eyes, picking out the peach colored gown - the very first beauty my eyes spotted. Just like her."I know you'll look beautiful in
Eva's POV The commotion downstairs, pulled me right out of my beauty sleep.It's been long I had such nice, comfortable sleep. I don't know but it was quite difficult to sleep whenever I had issues with someone close to me.Someone I loved dearly. Like, I loved him dearly as a friend not that other way. I just liked him.Right?Fuck my thoughts anyway."Fire! Fire! Holy shit!" On hearing that alarming call, I dashed downstairs, panicked. My heart raced fast, my eyes shifting frantically around the kitchen."Where's the fire?" Jordan jumped up, smiling sheepishly at me. "The... The sprinkler killed it." He scratched the back of his hair.He looked so disheveled, batter smeared his cheek and his hair was a mess - flour had turned it grey."This is interesting." Chuckling, I took a seat at the island chair.He sighed frustratedly. "I have never prepared a meal in my life aside noodles. I thought I could, you know, do something nice for you - like a breakfast in bed type of shit." He
Eva's POV "I'm really happy you came to see me." My mother repeated for the umpteenth time.Smiling softly at her, I nodded again.Bailey had a s-appointment. Sex appointment.Surprisingly, it's with the same guy. That's a new discussion we'd be having when she gets back.The house was boring and so I decided to stroll. I didn't want to think about how stupid I was few days back.I didn't even know how to face Jordan. I needed to though. My emotions got the best of me and I just ruined everything we had planned. I wanted to be more to him and kinda got scared that he wasn't seeing us that way."You should talk to him." My mother placed her hand on mine."I want to. I just don't know how to face him." Sighing, I rubbed my hand on my face harshly."Every beautiful relationship starts like this. Chaotic feeling... Yada, yada, yada." She sighed, squeezing my shoulder lightly. "But trust me, it gets better and more beautiful.""How would you know this if yours didn't end so well." I did
Jordan's POV FuckSeth didn't know when to quit.I didn't even know how I associated myself with these morons.Now... I was in a mess.A mess he created for me."I'm sorry he almost caught us." I stared at her from where I stood by the bathroom door.She had been quiet since everything at the office and I just didn't know how to feel about it.The fact that she said nothing was wrong but carried a long face had me nervous.I didn't want her to yell at me in the office and so I didn't push her to spill.But now we were at home... I was done with the silent treatment."You stopped it." She said, still staring into space. She suddenly stood up, searching around for her bag. "I should leave now.""You followed me home. I brought you with me." Locking the door, I walked up to her. "What's the matter?""To take a file." She said harshly before breathing softly. "I don't want to inconvenience you anymore. I rented a space not so far from here but it's a virgin apartment and it's under const
Eva's POV My life was back on track again.My husband and I were doing alright.We even had a child on the way.Life was bliss."Eva. The files?" Jordan snapped his hand in my face."Yes. Yes." I nodded, giving him the files.My life was on track again but the rest of what I said was a lie.Jordan almost gave me a heart attack when he fake-proposed to me that day.I had heard about after effect decision men took and I hoped it was one because I wasn't ready to be a wife.Luckily, it was a joke and according to him, he just wanted to light up the room so it didn't smell like sex and sweat.Idiot."You look distracted, Pumpkin." His soft, large palm helps me crane my neck to his direction. Shivers ran down my spine when his thumb brushed my cheek, sweetly."I... I don't know, Jordan." I adjusted in my seat. "Tell me, Pumpkin." His tone was serious. He sat down on the couch, placing the file on the table. "It's about Donald. I ... I don't know anything about him or his whereabouts." I
