"You are not a home breaker Jordan, don't say that you weren't aware that he was with someone,"Katrina said trying to make excuses for him but Jordan shook his head. Yes he hadn't been aware the first time, heck he didn't even know his mystery lover had been Liam but the second time they slept together, he had been aware, there was no excuse for that."I didn't the first time Kat, but the second time, I knew he had someone, I just couldn't say no, I was so stupid and so loss-filled that I let it happen."He said, covering his face in shame."Jordan, I know you better than anyone else, I know you have a knit for blaming yourself in everything but don't do it this time, as much as I don't support you cheating with someone who is already taking, I understand how you feel, you had a thing for the man and it would have been hard to resist, I couldn't do it with Lucas even when I knew all the risk, I still couldn't resist it,"" But this is different Kat, Lucas had been single, Liam isn't,

The next morning Jordan woke up feeling heavenly, like imagine waking up and not having to worry about a thing because there was absolutely nothing to be worried about, that's exactly how he felt, he got off at nine am and was informed that his breakfast was ready, they asked him if he will like to eat in the dining room or his room, he choose to eat breakfast alone, he felt jet leg so he spent the rest of the day in his room, no one bothered him and he was happy, not that he was asleep, he was just in the room doing nothing but still feeling comfortable, he did his best to push out thoughts of New York out if his head, Katrina already told him not to think too much about it, she was his number one cheer leader and he knew him better anyone else, if she says he shouldn't blame himself then he wasn't going to do that, no he was going to make the most of this one month and heal from the events of the past few months and when he returned to New York, he was going to start a fresh, be a n

"Would I joke with something like that? It's not even April fool,"Leah said."Wow, what? So early? I thought it won't be until the month ended, she told me yesterday that it was two weeks away,"He said going back into his room to get his shirt and tossing it on, he knew the baby would be born before he left Arizona but he didn't expect it to be the second day of his arrival, well looks like he was going to be a godfather today, he followed Leah out of the house, he met the other family members as they got into the car, Katrina was in the other car with her husband and mother-in-law, he ran to the car."Hey, bestie are you okay?"He asked and she tuned a dead glare his way, the bitch was not smiling."Do I look okay? Lucas tell him to get the fuck out of my face,"She yelled,"Sorry baby,"Lucas said despite Katrina yanking at his hair so hard, he looked like he was in so much pain."Jordan, help look after Róse please,"Katrina's mother-in-law said as the car drove up, he looked at

"It's okay little one, let's go get you some formula,"He said as he walked with the crying child into the main house to get her food, he was able to make her stop crying after feeding her and he watched her sleep, Leah and her family arrived a few hours later and he was relieved of taking care of Róse, he excused himself got a can and went to see his friend at the hospital and meet his godchild, he met Lucas and his mom at the entrance."You came,"His boss and friend said."Yeah, how are Katrina and the baby?""They are fine, you can go in, mom and I will go and speak to the doctor concerning discharge,""Okay, congratulations man,""Thank you,"Lucas replied, he opened the door to the room and walked in Katrina laid on the bed, she liked she was sleeping but when he got closer she opened her eyes and smiled at him."My baby became a mom,"He said going to hug her, she didn't even look like she had just given birth a few hours ago, the only difference was that the huge tummy was gon

Liam hurriedly left the house, he was damn late, this was the first time he was going to work late in a long time, and it was all the fault of his drugs he had gone to see the doctor for his routine check and the man had added a new dose of drugs for him, he knew what the drugs were for, it would be stupid if he didn't know seeing that he was a pharmacist, he knew he shouldn't have taken the drug so late at night but he had been in severe pains and he wanted relief."Yeah, now we run late,"He said as he got into his car, his progress this past month was really slow, he had to quit his other job as he was getting too stressed and was making his body weaker, he took more of his drugs now where before he could seven days without taking them now if he doesn't take them for a while day, he feels the world closing in on him, he knew the end was closer than he thought, he might not even last the three years if he doesn't get surgery but still he didn't want surgery."Too early for those tho

He wished he never ran into him, he hated people just that much, but there was nothing he could do now than to greet him."Hey, Sam, what's up? Good to see you here I didn't know you relocated to New York,"He said as Sam walked up to him and greeted him with a hug."Yeah, my man I did two months ago, good to see you too, you look better than I expected,"Liam resisted the urge to laugh out, one of the main reasons he left home was because almost everyone in his town where his parents were treated like the royals, knew about his condition and treated him like he would break or something when he walked at the general hospital, they barely let him do a thing and he had ended up quitting, he was being paid but he didn't do the work he studied for, not trying to think about that stuff, he concentrated on what Sam was saying."I am guessing you already had your surgery right? Seeing how healthy you look,"Sam asked. He couldn't blame him for being nosy like he said earlier his condition wa

"I don't think so mom, maybe the next weekend, I just got back and haven't been at work for so long, I just know there will be a lot waiting for me, I have to clean up too,""Alright then, I have to go I have a visitor,"His mom said and hung up on him, Jordan chuckled as he moved his things to his room, the room was exactly how he left it but he could perceive a lot of dust, he was feeling tired from his trip but he knew that if he doesn't clean up his room now, he won't get a chance to do it until next weekend and he won't be able to sleep in a dust-filled room."Welcome back to reality Jordan,"He said out loud to himself as he started cleaning up, singing along to his favorite song, he did a little self show as he continued working on his room, occasionally taking a break to either change to a song or do a little happy dance, he was just happy to be back home.It took him about two hours to successfully clean up his room after which he decided to go do a little grocery shopping, t
