"Are you ok?" Jasper asked, touching my hand.“Yes.’’Both if us had been silent during our meal, my mind was racing too much because of what my sister said.“Are you sure?’’"I'm fine, just upset that my sister cremated mother without my knowledge."''She did what now?" Cooper asked, standing at our table with his hands on his hips."You didn't know?""No, your sister put me out. Good thing I'm still with that Dj guy."''Why?""It had to do with an argument we had about you. She said you were a gold digger, and I asked her how could she say such a thing about your own sister. And let me tell you, she had some colourful things to say about you. And you know my loyalty is with you, so I told her off and defended your name.""I have never done anything to her for her to hate me so much.""I know. I have seen you give that girl the last pack of Ramen noodles while you had no

High rise
When we met with the real estate agent, she smiled at us, then pulled Jasper into a hug."Jasper, nice seeing you again. You didn’t like that place, did you?""No, I am enjoying my time there. I called you because I am looking to get a place for my girlfriend.""And you came to the right place. You can call me auntie." She smiled at me.Cooper gave me a look, and I shrugged."How is my sister doing?" She asked."The same as usual.""Your father's birthday is coming up, right?""It is.""I should make sure to get him a gift before forgetting again."The woman's phone rang, and she excused herself."That is my aunt Margaret, my mother's sister. She is the best person I know to get us a place at a great rate."I nod, now understand their exchange."Ok, so I made sure to handpick the best places money can buy." She said, then hand us ten pamphlets each."We are going to seven differen

Lunch and the arrogant bastard
"The only place I know that does lunch at this time is The Capital Grille." Jasper said.Cooper and I exchanged looks with each other, knowing that the restaurant was one of those fancy, upscale places."Oh my God, J, looking at this rabbit." Cooper laughed, then showed me his phone.I watched the video on his phone, know that his code for rabbit meant a person who is sus.I was behind, shocked to see my sister doing what was apparently flirting with Cameron."That is so light." I said, another code for something shitty.We began speaking in codes."Who did the owner just happen to get that video?" I asked."Oh, the owner noticed a few stronger things happening and set up a security camera to see what was causing it. But it was the brother who ran through the video after noticing something off with the rabbit.""Damn, the brother is very genius to do all that.""Genius is an understatement, but I want to know what

What a morning
The next morning, Jasper didn't have to wake me up. I was too nervous to get a full night's sleep.I lay in bed for a while, staring out the window, thinking that this was just surreal.Just a week ago I was worried about my future, and now I am able to make the future I wanted for myself.I climbed out of bed feeling sore, because yesterday I foolishly went to the gym with Jasper.Something I was not used to. I had never worked out a day in my life and I didn't know what told me to do so after we got here.Now it felt as if my limbs were about to fall off.I stood in spot for a while, afraid to move because of how heavy my legs felt."Good, you are up." Jasper said as he entered the bedroom.I looked over at him, noticing that he was already dressed in a grey shirt that, in my opinion, was too tight and black pants."I should go get ready to not keep you waiting for too long.""No, take your time. We don't need t

A spicy first day
I somehow managed to survive my first day of work. I had plenty to do, because the previous manager never seemed to do crap. The only thing the folders on his desktop were filled with were pictures of naked girls and porn. I struggled to keep up with the workload, the names and unfamiliar faces. Not to mention Jasper checking in on me every half hour.''Knock, knock. First day celebration,'' Cooper cheered, entering my office with two cups of coffee in his hands. "Wow, I had to see it to believe it. This space is nice.''I groaned, holding my head in my hands.''Was it that bad?'' He asked, coming to sit cross leg on my desk.''There was so much virus in this system, I'm surprised TechPro hadn't taken a tumble a long time ago.''''I feel your pain. I thought four of us worked as the WordPress developers, well, three after what happened. But no, it's just me and there was so much to do...'' Cooper dragged on.''I just want to go home and slee

Expect the unexpected
By lunchtime on Friday, Jasper walked into my office, saying he was taking me to lunch. Sadly, he only managed to eat his fries because one of his investors popped up unannounced. While finishing up the rest of my food, all I could see was a hand on the table and thinking that it was Jasper, I looked up at the person with a smile, but it immediately faded after seeing that it was Cameron.I held up a hand to get the waiter's attention, but he stopped me.''Jordan, wait.''"Oh, so you do know my name?''He lets out a sigh.''I know that I am the last person you want to see right now-''"You think?'' I said, about to get up.''Please just hear me out?''''Cameron, I don't care how rich and powerful you are, but just leave me alone. And I would think that after sending me that restraining order, you would have had me out of your mind.''"I'm sorry, but you can't re

Birthday party surprise
The ride back to the penthouse was so fucking silent, I was still in shock and Jasper was gripping the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The only sound that came was the pur of the car and our breathing.When we got in, neither of us addressed the elephant in the room. I guess we will just act as if he didn't drop that big boom.''Jordan,'' Jasper finally said.I turned to look at him, and he closed the distance between us.''I don't want to lose you, Jordan.'' He kissed me so tenderly after, leaving me to wonder if this is what love is for a person. I had never experienced that before and truly I don't know what my feelings towards Jasper is."I'm sorry Jasper,'' I told him.''No, I'm sorry. I came off too strong, not at all considering your feelings.''Those words still hadn't reassured me, now leaving me to think about what it would have been like if I gave Cameron a chance. Despite him coming off as a pr

Birthday spoiler
''What? Am I not allowed here? Because it is a party and as far as I can see, I am making a statement. Just look at them stare.''''Yes Jenna, but all for the wrong reasons.''Jenna scoffed, ''if you are jealous just say that.''''Of what? You dressing like a skank and being here with Cameron.''She smiled, ''Aww, you are jealous. I told you Jordan, if I wanted to fuck a rich man, I could and here I am, living the life.''''You don't even know the man you are with. He is the most hated person at this party.''''By who? You? Because you couldn't get him. He told me everything Jordan. You stole from him, keep harassing him, and even tried to break his company.''I gave a laugh, ''and you believe that? Come on, you know what he did.''''From what you have done in the past, yes. And he did nothing.''I grabbed her arm. ’’You should leave Jenna. You don't know what you are getting into with this man and remember he was the reason mom died.''Jenna flashed my hand off. ’’He told me the trut

Over one obstacle
"I'm sorry about that. I did not know Cameron would have shown up with your sister, Jasper apologised.''There is no need for you to feel sorry. Cameron knew exactly why he brought my Jenna along, and she knew exactly why she came.''''I still can't help but think that this is all my fault. He wants you and I am in possession of the one thing he can't have. I have never seen Cameron so wounded.''''Well, he can't have me. Again, it's not your fault because I'm sure that any man I'm with he would still come roaring his head like the spoiled brat he is. Besides, I'm with you, who is a much better human being than Cameron Cater will ever be, and after hearing all the lies he told my sister. I wouldn't want to be within two feet of that man.''''What did your sister say?''''Cameron told her I'm obsessed with him. Not only that, but I took out insurance on mom and told his uncle, the director I spoke with, to kill her so I can collect the money.''It was a good thing Jasper wasn't the one

My own place
I guess it was safe to say that after a month; I had put everything behind me. No longer did I have to worry about Dante, and no longer was Cameron on my mind. I truly didn't care what he or my sister were doing. I was happy for the first time in so long. Life at work and home were great. I didn't have to worry about much, just to make sure Jasper's company didn't fail.Jasper and I were going strong, and today Cooper and I were finally moving furniture into our apartment.''Is Jasper going to join us?'' Cooper asked.''He will, as soon as he gets back from his parents' place.''''Why are you even moving in Jordan? You basically live with the guy.''''I'm not moving in, just making sure I have a place to stay just in case,'' I said.''In case of what? That man loves you. I'm pretty sure more than how he loves himself.''''Cooper, you see how fast things can change.''''True, but I don't think anything will change with the both of you. Unless it's marriage.''I rolled my eyes as I str
