I close my eyes and soon feel the mattress sink a little. I shiver when he runs his hand down my neck, down my spine.That feeling warmed me all over, made my heart flutter, and I didn't want it to end, not really.When I open my eyes and see an extremely beautiful, blond and pink-lipped boy staring at me. Jordan had asked me for a chance, and even though I was afraid of getting hurt, I ended up accepting it and now I'm here in my room, with him by my side and keeping me company.FLASHBACK ON"I remember very well what I proposed to you that day, but things are different now.” he says and I'm confused."Many different? What changed Jordan?” My heart races."I like Jessica, but I'm also liking you. I was just trying to take things along because of the babies, but now I'm going crazy about not really having you.” I hold my breath."Jordan, no.” I speak and stand up."Why not? Tell me.” He approaches me."Because I know that I will really fall in love with you and I also know that at one

"Good morning.” says Jordan as he enters the room and places a kiss on my forehead."Good morning, are you going to be late today?" I ask."I'm about to give up going to university and staying here with you.” he says and smiles."How I wanted..." I pout and he gives me a peck."Yeah, but unfortunately I can't. I have a paper due today, and I need to talk to Jessica. I need to put an end to everything." I agree with him.We stayed talking for a while longer, until Jordan left the house. After finishing my coffee, I washed the dishes and organized the apartment.I was feeling light, so light that I noticed that I was bouncing around in all the rooms as I cleaned.When I stopped in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, I had a huge smile on my face, it looked like I was in love. Shit, not really.I tried to put it out of my mind, and went back to my on-the-spot cleaning.Once I was done, I literally threw myself on the couch and took a deep breath. She needed a good shower, an

Jordan point of viewI got into my car and before starting it, I rested my head on the steering wheel for a few minutes, took a deep breath and started the car heading towards Jessica's house.I needed to put an end to my non-relationship with Jessica and I didn't know how I was going to approach her.I liked her, Jess had been my first love and my first relationship for a long time.

We lived ending and coming back, fighting... We were toxic to each other, until I decided to end it for good in one of her jealousy crises and never saw her again.When she moved to the other side of the world, she just texted me and wished her a safe trip and we didn't speak until the night I ran into her at the club.

A few days had passed and both Jordan and I were pretty excited. Tomorrow I would get to the little things so we can set up the babies' room, and we were also doing well, regarding the organization of the fundraiser for his family's company.I convinced him to go talk to his father, actually spend the day at the company with him, knowing how a little bit of everything worked there, I didn't do this just in the interest of the party, but because I believe that father and son needed this connection, so I had to be a little hard on him and convince him. Well, it wouldn't be different with me because I would spend the whole afternoon with Susan and Emma, I would receive tips from both, my mother-in-law would show me some photos and videos of her ornaments and indeed I am happy that everything is going so well.Today I have an appointment with Patrick, I was going to see how the babies were doing and from there I would go straight to Susan's house.

"So every year the form of the event is different?” I ask Susan."Yes, we always try to innovate in the best possible way.” says my mother-in-law."See this one here Sam, from two years ago and this one from last year.” Emma shows me an album with several photos, One more beautiful than the other. Both are really great at what they do, I'm delighted."Last year's auction? I've never been to one, I always thought it was cool" they laugh "But, in breach of secrecy, how much do you, I mean, the institutions that will be benefited receive? So when it comes to auctions?" I ask them."It depends a lot on what will be auctioned, the taste of the people who are there participating, how much they are willing to buy." says my sister-in-law."Last year, we had a collection of 60 million. In the penultimate auction we held, it was 100 million. Because both were different, works or products by different brands or artists." Susan says and my mouth opens."Wow, how much difference and how much money
