The Things We Don't Say Jordan: Too Close
"How's the project coming along?" One of Aiden's friends was saying. We were in the VIP booth on the second floor, directly overlooking the dance floor. His friends were just like him. Rich, popular, the right connections.Yet, no part of me wanted to be here. “Good,” I muttered, reaching for my glass of scotch. “I can’t talk about it, though, until we are done.”It wasn’t like there was anything to talk about in the first place. All we had was a team, a rough idea of what we wanted in our heads, and the false sense of a vacation. But it was the start of something. “Jordan has the best ideas,” Heather chirped in, her legs daintily crossed atop each other. “I am certain it is going to blow our minds away. He isn’t one to do things just for the sake of doing them.”“You two are cute,” someone said. “I have heard a lot about your relationship from some of my acquaintances back in the University of the Saints. And some of my boys have played against you, Jordan, in basketball tournament
The Things We Don't Say Marcus: Uptown Boy
The neon lights pulsed with so much enthusiasm as we stepped into the club. It was loud and noisy, every single thing I hated. But I pushed in regardless, because I’d already caused such a drama today and I wasn’t going to make life harder for anyone else.I was still embarrassed after making everyone wait because I’d lost my phone and gotten lost. It was worse that my mom would have tried to reach me, along with Anna and James. James might not even realize it till later, but Anna and Mom?I was certain they would be trying to contact the whole world right now.It occurred to me to ask Jordan if Anna had tried reaching him, but he hadn’t said a word to me since he walked me back to the car, which was two hours ago. And now, he seemed to be making it a point to avoid me throughout the night.If this was the way he wanted it to go, I was going to play along with his tune. “I have got to introduce you to the boys,” Aiden yelled into Jordan’s ears, pulling him into the crowd. Heather fol
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: That Story Ended A Long Time Ago
“This looks great,” Heather sighed, throwing herself into the only bed in the suite. It overlooked the ocean, with a lush forest inching onto the other side. One of the bellhops had just brought our suitcases in. He nodded politely before taking his leave. "It's going to be like a vacation – a much-needed vacation." She sat up, angling her head in my direction. "What do you think?"“It’s okay.”“Not about the room, silly.” She rolled her eyes. “About us. We are in a country far from home. No work, no school…”“We are here to work.”"Still," she said in a high-pitched tone. "At least, we get to lazy about. They have a really nice pool out back. We could go for a late-night swim. Or better still, go swim at the ocean. Or surf. That would have to wait till the morning, but…"I shrugged out of my shirt. “I don’t want to swim tonight.”“Okay. How about tomorrow…”“Or tomorrow.”“Come on, Jordan.” She was on her feet now, making her way to me. “You’ve been giving me this attitude since the
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: Nothing is Going to Change
"Honey, what are you talking about?" The woman knelt in front of her daughter, while I stopped in my tracks, turning sharply. "Did you see him?"The little girl nodded. "There was this man who was reading with me at the bookstore. He asked where he could get a snack. He was hungry."“And what did you tell him?” I walked closer to them.“I told him he had to ask my mommy, since she knows the area. And he wanted to check the time and couldn’t find his phone. So, he left to go find it.”Her mother looked up at me. “Does that sound like the person you are looking for?”“I have been trying to reach him, but it keeps going straight to voicemail.” I turned to the little girl. “Do you know the direction he went in?”Her little fingers pointed in the opposite path from where I was headed. “It was the wrong way, wasn’t it? He looked new to the area.”“Thank you,” I breathed, squeezing her shoulders, before running in that direction. The sound of my shoes hitting the ground was the only audible
The Things We Don't Say Jordan: This is Hard
“He should be close by,” Nita muttered a few feet away, scanning the road. “I didn’t see him walk away, but it’s his first time in Spain, right? He couldn’t have wandered that far off.”He couldn't have. I knew that. So, why did it feel like my heart was about wrenching out of its spot? I'd dialled his number a million times already. They all went straight to voicemail. I was running out of my mind, and I felt like no one would understand me.How would they, when even I didn’t understand myself?“But how dumb could he be?” Heather scoffed. “The fact that we all got out of the car didn’t give him the same right. I mean, he’s an employee, isn’t he?”“Shut up, Heather.” I didn’t think I’d ever heard Joshua talk to her like that. "Someone is missing, and the only thing you think about is his status? Can you even hear yourself? You are appalling, and honestly, it's no wonder that no one can stand you."Heather was about to lose it. “You can’t possibly be speaking to me in that manner, Jo
The Things We Don't Say Marcus: Lost in Spain
We are in Spain. The airport rose imposingly behind as we filed into the car that had been waiting for the last hour before we landed. Perks of being an Arthur. The driver moved to the back to shove our suitcases into the trunk, while we found our positions.Of course, it was a limousine. Arthur sat at the front with the driver, murmuring something about needing to make a business call without our voices getting in the way. Heather hated it. She pouted like a child, but Jordan barely paid her any attention.Now, the back was oddly quiet. Everyone was on their phones, pressing away. I needed to do something. So, I shot a text to Anna, informing her we were in Spain already. She wanted to call. She was dying to see what it was like from my lens. But I couldn't speak to Anna here. For once, Heather was in the car with us. She was a haughty rich kid who hated anything that wasn't in her class. And I didn't want her to hurt Anna's feelings. I would be helpless, and I didn't want Anna to
