The Things We Don't Say Jordan: Decisions
Lunch was loud, and it had nothing to do with chatter. It was loudly deafening. Heather had been on her phone for the last thirty minutes since we arrived at JAR, and honestly, I didn’t mind it. What I did mind was that I was here at all, rather than doing what I really wanted to do.“So why did you want to have lunch?” I questioned, bringing the glass of water to my lips.I could have refused, but the internet was already going wild with the last issue with Harper, and my parents, via the pr officer they employed, explained that the best thing I could do for both families was to appear in public with Heather to let them know we were fine.Heather and I were far from fine. We hadn't been fine for years now, when she slept with my cousin, Joshua. But for the longest time, I wasn't going to fight my parents' decision for me getting married to her for the sake of both families.Now, I couldn't see that happening, and I had no idea what changed. Or maybe I did, and every part of me wasn't
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: Lunch
"How did the meeting go yesterday?" My father asked the minute I sauntered into the dining room. They were seated around the table, Dad sampling a cup of coffee and Mum staring into her phone, a small worried line on her face.The most expression I have seen from her in years. “Fine,” I muttered, thinking about pulling out a chair to enjoy the pies Martha had made the previous day back at Phoenix. But I decided against it, grabbing an apple instead. I couldn’t remember the last time we’d sat together as a family to eat. Just us. “And what was the resolution?”I stopped, the apple in my hand. “Dad, you told me I was going to be in charge of this project. That means trusting me to handle this.”“Jordan…”"And you're about to tell me that you have no idea how I've become this kid who speaks back at you, but maybe I need you to believe that I am capable of making decisions on my own. If you don't think so, then maybe pull me off the project?"My father moved like I hadn’t uttered a word
The Things We Don't Say Marcus: I Don’t Have a Crush on Him
“Good morning,” I chirped, strolling into the living room and grabbing an apple from the table. But I did a double-take when I realized how normal it all looked. Mom was sitting by the table, stirring a cup of coffee.Only Dad was absent. “Mom!” I didn’t know how much I missed her or how much I was worried until I saw her right there. “Oh my God! How are you? Where did you spend the night? I was so worried about you last night. You didn’t tell us where you were going and…”“Slow down, Marcus.” She dropped the spoon and stretched her arms wide open. I rushed into them, breathing her familiar scent. “I missed you, Mom.”“I missed you too, baby.” She pulled away slowly, taking me in. “Marcus, what happened to your face?”“Erm…Nothing, Mom. It was just…”“You better think carefully about the next words that come out of your mouth, because you cannot lie to me. What happened?”“Mom….”“Gary!”My brother appeared in another minute, scratching his red eyes. He looked unfocused, looking aro
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: I Just Can’t
“Private Jet,” Nita whispered as she climbed in with my help. “I know the Arthurs are like the most powerful family in the state, but they let you fly the private jet?”I rolled my eyes and got in. “This one is my name.”“What?”"You mentioned you've been working for the company since your internship days. Surely you know the family has more than one private jet. You're just overdoing it right now."“Okay,” Nita laughed, buckling in. “I just…I always thought you were so uptight and rigid, and tonight…I don’t know. It just feels like there are many layers to the Arthur Jordan.”“I don’t know about layers,” I murmured, hitting the knobs and preparing for take-off.Nita didn’t say anything until we were in the air already. “So where are we going to?”“We are not going anywhere,” I replied. “I am taking you home…or wherever you want to go, and I have to go … somewhere else. Something came up.”“Something that was important enough to defy your father,” she mused, stroking her chin. “Let me
The Things We Don't Say Marcus: Brawl and a Hit
I'd always known Joshua had a huge build. Of course, he wasn't as huge as Jordan, but with those arms and well-defined shoulders blocking the lights in front of me, I knew nothing was going to be peaceful about tonight.And I wasn’t sure whether it made me excited or nervous.But the one thing that played on in my head was the fact that Jordan actually sent Joshua over to get me. I couldn’t fathom it. I didn’t know how he heard I was stranded. But I was grateful. So grateful.And giddy.Joshua placed a hand casually around my shoulders, and leaned against the wall near the door. “I heard there was a party in here. I want to get in.”"Nice," one of the boys at the door grinned. "But I'm afraid, bro, you can't come in with him. Orders from above."Jordan sighed softly. “Like from God? Don’t tell me his a part of this party too.”“No,” he laughed. “This dude is funny. No. Not God. The one throwing the party. He doesn’t want this place to be filled with the stench of gay dudes. You unders
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: Don’t Make This a Habit
"What do you mean you have no idea?" I ran my fingers through my hair, already thinking of a million possible scenarios. And each last one was worse than the first. "Isn't he with you?""He went out … I don't know. He and his brother got into a fight, and he said he was going for a walk. That was hours ago. His number is not going through, and I have no idea where he is.""Calm down, Anna." I was talking to myself. I had no clue why it felt like I was about to hyperventilate. "Have you checked the places he would usually visit?"“Don’t you know Marcus? He doesn’t go anywhere. I was so surprised when he told me he was at yours the other day for a pool party.”And then, she paused. “Wait, Jordan. Do you think he went to yours? I bothered him about calling you when the chaos happened this morning but…”“What chaos?”I heard her swallow. “It’s … I can’t say. Only Marcus can decide to tell you. But he doesn’t usually stay out this late. Only when he’s with you. And now, he’s not with you…
