Jordan’s POV
As we entered the park, there was a slight breeze that rustled the leaves ma-king them fall on the solid ground one by one…
Since I k!$$£d her, she had been smiling all throu-gh the drive..How did she manage to make me feel something I have never felt with someone else…Not even Beatrice…
I was busy admiring her as a slow but a sure smile grew at the corner of myl-ips. She was very beautiful and every man would be lucky to have her by their side
. She knows what she stands for and doesn’t let anyone pu-ll her down.
Indeed it was attitude meets arrogance. I know we are opposites but that’s where the fun is. We have to put up with each other’s personality and learn to blend with it…
I thought I would stay away from her, make her hate me but everytime I look de-ep into her eyes, I wanna be lost in them forever…I want her caged in my arms forever so she doesn’t have to get hurt..
At first I thought these feelings were just a fling but as days go by I have realised I want to be by her side forever. I take this oath today, if after seven months she leaves I will never open my heart to another.
Because I believe it has found its rightful owner…
“Jordan???” She snapped her hands on my face..
“What???” I pretended to be mad..
She outstretched her hand and tilted her head up…
“What do you want????” I asked confusingly…
“Money to pay for the tickets…” She replied arrogantly…
“But this was your idea…” I retorted reaching out for my wallet…
“But you are the husband…” She left me there paying the tickets and headed to an ice cream vendor…
Although it didn’t mean much, I am glad she recognised me as her husband. If she only knew how I crave for a day she will cu-p my face and call me her husband like she means it…
“Put every flavour you have…” I heard her give orders to the vendor as I stood beside her…
“Jordan vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and some sprinkles is fine right???” She asked in a soft voice, smiling from one ear to another…
“Anything is fine by me…”
I had begun feeling awkward since everyone was giving me weird glances
. I know they were asking themselves what a CEO like me was doing in a park???
If it weren’t that I loved her so much, I would have left alre-ady…
After the vendor was done with our ice creams, she pointed at the vendor with her head,”Pay him Jordan…”
There was a bench at every corner of the park and some swings on the west corner where children were pla-ying and parents watching them.
She chose the bench by the lake where there was no one sitting on it…Luckily it was 4 0’clock and people had begun leaving the park…
She handed me my ice cream and we just sat there silently.
My eyes were stuck on the lake when she finally spoke up..
“They seem like a happy couple. The smiles in their faces seems genuine..”
I turned to face her and she showed me a young couple at were pla-ying and laughing beside us..
“Do you think we will ever be happy???”She asked and continued to li-ck her ice cream…
I am happy, you are my happiness my love…
Before I could reply, she was done with her ice cream. That was really fast..
“Take, you can have mine…” I handed it to her and she gladly picked it..
I hadn’t even tasted it, I wasn’t a fan of ice cream but I couldn’t tell her that. I looked disgustingly at my hand that had held the ice cream and it was all messy. Ice cream all over my f!ngers…
“Don’t be mad at your hand, I will wipe it…” She opened her handbag and pu-ll-ed out a packet of wipes. She took one from the packet and begun wiping my hand…
My mind warned me not to look at her but I couldn’t help in..I bite my lower l!pas I admired what was infront of me..Why is she so perfect on my eyes???
“Done…”She lifted her face and her eyes were held in mine…For a moment, it felt like time had stood on a standstill…
“It’s getting boring, why don’t we pl@yquestion and answer…” She averted her gaze..
“And what that???”
“You ask me a question and I will answer truthfully and vice versa…”
Jordan luck is on your side, you can finally ask her if she is falling for you…
“And we should sit so close to each other so as we don’t look like people who just met and we are married…” She moved closer to me, took my arm placed it around her shoulders and intertwined the other hand with hers…
She really surprised me, I didn’t expect that from her. I wish I could say something but I was at loss of words…
“Jordan, I think for this seven months we should try and be civil…Let’s no argue or fight. We should create memories right????”She asked as she placed her head on my shoulder. I don’t know what was up with her but I loved it..
“I will miss you after our divorce….” I confessed and k!$$£d her hand…
plea-se say, you don’t want the divorce anymore. plea-se Ciara say you love me too. Stand on t©p of this bench and shout how much you love me….
“My first question, who was your first love????”She avoided the divorce t©pic…
I think I have never fallen in love until I met you my love. You are my first love, add!çtion and everything..But to protect my feelings I have to lie…
“Mmmmh!!!I guess Beatrice and you????”
“I would say David but No….I think I have never met my first love.
. It is said you fall in love once and every guy I have d@t£d has impregnated another girl…” I heard the sadness in her voice and squee-zed her hand ti-ght…
If she was mine, she would never know what heartbreak means, I would never bring tears in her eyes..Because she is the sun in my life…The rays from the love I feel for her complete me…
“This might sound dumb but favourite colour, do you love pets, favourite food???Something like that…” I remember Beatrice asking me these questions on our first d@t£..
“Favourite colour I don’t have, pets I hate cats and fear dogs..favourite food I can literally eat anything….”
I found myself laughing at the last statement. How is she human, I can’t eat snails or snakes I feel disgusted…
We spoke for hours and didn’t realize time had flown so fast…I had alot about her and every second I heard her speak I fell for her more…
“Hey guys, its time to go home….” Someone tapped my shoulder…
Ciara lifted her head from my shoulder and looked at him,”plea-se let us stay a little longer. Three hours maximum…”
“But…”
“Jordan give him two thousand..” Ciara requested and I gave the guy the money without asking any question…
“We won’t make any noise…” Ciara as-sured and the guy smiled like he had won a lottery. What is two thousand, it’s not even enough to fuel my car…
We went back to talking then suddenly Ciara went silent…
“Jordan, my bu-tt feels numb. Lets go lie by the lake…” Before I could answer, she was up and dragging me along…
She lied on the gras-s and pu-ll-ed my hand…
“Come and lie beside me….”
I nodded, loos£ned my tie and lied beside her…I wra-pped my arm around her as she placed her head on my che-st…
“The stars look so beautiful…” She begun counting them….
I know that we weren’t on a vacation in Bahamas or having dinner in a fancy restaurant but this is the best night of my life…What more could I ask for when I had my all beside me???
Trust me my Ciara I would trade everything for you…
“Ciara, if we ever meant on different circu-mtances would you have fallen in love with me????” I blurted out loud and she remained silent for a while…
What have I done???I just ruined our night…
“I am so….”
“Any girl would fall in love with you just the way you are….”She bu-tted in…
“I am not talking about any girl..I am talking about you…” I emphasized only for her to rise from the gras-s…
“If you catch me, then I will answer you…” She stood up and begun twirling around…
“Come on Marcias, can’t you run????” She tea-sed me and I just lied there looking at my pla-yful queen…
“Come on!!!!!!” She cl@pped her hands so ha-rd ..
I stood up and begun running after her…She didn’t even run for long before she sli-pped and fell on the gras-s….
She begun crying and my heart shattered…Stupid gras-s, why did you hurt my delicate baby???
I ran to her and knelt beside her,”Where does it hurt????” I turned her around to face me and she begun laughing…
“I got you….I told you, you can’t catch me…”
I just looked at her as the moonlight shone on her face. Even if I wanted to be mad I couldn’t…
I took her hands and held them on t©p of her head.
“I have caught you so answer my question…”
“I wish you would k!ssme by the lakeside….” I was surprised by her reply…Today she was so warm and caring…
“What if I can’t st©p???”I asked s*ductively..
“Then don’t st©p…I am wearing a dress…” She whispered while I begun trailing k!sses down her n£¢k…
She held my face in her hands and whispered” Although it’s beyond us, I will also miss you after am gone…”
I don’t want you to leave Ciara. Say you don’t wanna leave. Give me a sign my love..
She k!$$£d me un-der my ear and made me shiver…I wanted to feel every ounce of her…
We begun k!ss!ngagain when the guy interrupted us…
“What are you doing???”He thun-dered….
“Run!!!!”Ciara rose from the gras-s, gr@bb£d her purse and my coat and begun running…
I also followed her behind into the car, not un-derstanding why we were running…
“Why were we running????” I asked the moment we got into the car…
“What’s the fun in explaining ourselves???” She writhed in laughter and I joined in too…
She is crazy and she is also ma-king me crazy…
The guy begun knocking at my window and I gave Ciara a confused look. Let’s see what other crazy idea she had..
“Pretend to be asleep…” I nodded and placed my head on the steering wheel and she placed hers on my back…After a while, the knocks subsided…
“Is he gone???”She whispered…
“I don’t know…”
“I order you two to get out of here before I call the police…” The guy shouted and when we lifted our heads the gate was open..
I quic-kly drove out of there but still we couldn’t st©p laughing…
We pas-sed over a vendor who was selling food and Ciara requested I st©p..
“What now??”
“I am starving….”
“Korosa Florida is open right now, we can go gr-ab something…” I suggested but she ignored and got out of the car…
He followed her and there she was holding six packets of bhajia..
“Will you finish all that???”I asked shockingly…
“Pay her…” She pushed me aside and got back to the car…
We had to park the car at the side of the road so as she could eat. She ranted about wanting to eat in peace.
As she ate, I turned on my pla-ylist and begun listening to country music.
“Here have a bite…” She tried giving me a piece of bhajia but I pu-ll-ed my head back..Too bad my stomach grumbled, selling me out..
“Jordan, I know you are also hungry…They are fine…” She placed two packets in my l@p and continued eating hers…
At first I was hesitant but finally I begun eating..They were tasty..
“They are delicious right????” I couldn’t let her win…
“They are okay…Let’s now go home…”
By the time we were getting home, she was sound asleep…I didn’t want to wake her up and so I had to carry her bridal style to the house..
“Jordan, is Ciara okay???Why do you look messy???”My mum with her questions..
“She is just asleep…We will head to our room, we are tired…”
I gently placed her on the be-d and covered her up..
“Thank you for today…” I whispered, stro-king her cheek…I k!$$£d her on the forehead and went to the bathroom…
I can’t believe I had alot of fun today…I did crazy things and also ate food by the roadside. Ciara, what are you doing to me???
Ciara’s POV
I think I am falling for Jordan..It wasn’t planned but everytime he is close to me I feel like the world has st©pped on its axis. For the past two weeks I have realised I don’t hate him anymore..
I don’t regret meeting him…If it’s possible I yearn to be married to him with my soul and heart..
Do I want a divorce???.Heck no, I want him to be my last..
We have been acting like this loving couple and although we agreed not to argue or fight anymore I am falling for this lie…
Jordan plea-se don’t divorce me, be my last…
I was in the fashion studio doing final t©uçhes on Jaxon suit and as usual I would keep looking around for Jordan…For the past two weeks am used to him keeping me company as I work.
I didn’t know he could make me laugh alot…plea-se show up Jordan, I am lonely without you…
Just as I was thinking about him, I heard footsteps behind me..Ciara act like you don’t care…
I turned around and tried to fake a smile but de-ep inside my heart was dancing gwara gwara
“Jordan you are here….”
“I brou-ght you some h0t cocoa. I know you love coffee but I don’t want you awake all night.” He smiled…
What a kind soul???? My Jordan…
“You didn’t have to but because you have I will have it so as you don’t feel bad…” I pretended not to care…
“So my fashion designer, what can your as-sistant do today???” He asked his arms wra-pped around my w@!st…
plea-se don’t k!ssme or k!ssme…I wanna rip that T-shi-t you wearing and plaster k!sses all over your b©dy.
. I wish I had hazel eyes..Thosel-ips,i wanna k!ssthem…
“Ciara??” He snapped his f!ngersdragging me from those crazy thoughts.
“What are you thinking about????”
“Are you working out alot these days??? You look h0t..” I blurted out loud..
“Did you say h0t????” He seemed shocked..
“What??? it’s h0t in here right??? We should turn the AC on am burning…” I begun fanning myself..The truth is when he held me, I felt breathless…
I wanted to float like the midnight air…
“It’s not h0t. What happening??? Why are you sweating???” He asked in a concerned tone..
“I am now shivering. Lets have cocoa before it’s gets hold…”
We both sat down and begun drinking our coffee silently. I could see him looking at me from the corner of my eyes…
plea-se st©p looking at me, I can’t resist getting lost in those eyes….I would forever want those eyes to be the first thing I see when I wake up…
“Ciara, you are so talented…Look at the groom’s suit and the bridal go-wn is better than those in vogue magazines…” He complimented and I am sure my cheeks were pink or is it red. I can’t explain…
My heart was pounding fast and I felt shy like a teenager after receiving her first k!ss..Control yourself Ciara it’s just a compliment…
“But you and I are alike…You make beautiful houses and I make beautiful clothes…We are the creative husband and wife…”
“So what can I help you with today???” He asked…
“I am done with everything…But I can use your company and silly jokes…” I chuckled and he joined in, “I thought you hated my company…”
“Hate is a strong word Mr Marcias..Anyway do you think the groom’s men and bridesmaids will look superb on their suits and dresses…I don’t want it to be an epic fail…” I could nervousness kicking in…
Jordan took my hands and I thought he would squee-ze them ti-ght or give me a word of encouragement but instead he brou-ght them to hisl-ips and placed a gentle k!ssupon them..
“Do you feel better now??? My wife got this. She never makes mistakes with fashion, she is an icon…” I could feel something flutter in my stomach..
“Thank you, Jordan I almost forgot about something I was to discuss with you. It’s important..”
“I am listening…I hope I didn’t offend you…” I could feel worry in his tone..
“No, actually the flawless and fearless want to start a fashion house and we nee-d you to help us with the artitectural p@rt…”
“So what’s your budget??? You know alot of things have to be bought, it depends with the location, we nee-d contractors, to create a plan and the more the money the quic-ker the place will be up and running…” He explained in emphasis..
“We will have 25 million since all of us are contributing 5 million each. We nee-d the place running in like seven months…” I replied…
“Ciara do you have the five million??? You have been out of work for quite sometime…” He spoke softly, squee-zing my hands…
“The girls will loan me the 5 million and then I will repay them. They don’t mind…” I looked away embarras-sed.
I hope he doesn’t think I am a failure.. He is a billionaire and am a fashion designer with peanut salary and big dreams..
“You will s£nd me the proposal in my office…” Those were the only words he said..
I continued doing what I was doing before he c@m£ as he went on and on with his silly jokes..
“I am so sleepy…” I yawned and looked at the watch. It was 2 am in the morning..
“Jordan let’s go to be-d, I can ba-rely open my eyes. .” I gro-an ed…
Just when I was about to start complaining of how sleepy and tired I was, he swept me off my feet and carried me bridal style…
“Admit that you wanted me to carry you, lazy as-s???”He tea-sed and I just rested on his che-st.
He made me realise in his arms is where I was accustomed to be..
When we got to the room, he placed me gently on the be-d and went to the bathroom..I was feeling quite h0t and so I went into the closet and changed into a pair of shorts and a crop t©p…
“What???” I asked him when I realised he was scanning me from head to bottom..
“You don’t where those lingeries anymore. I miss them especially the red one…Or did you give up teasing me??” He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I smiled shyly looking away…
“Don’t be a n@ûghty boy Mr Marcias. She is out of bounds…” I pushed him aside only for him to pu-ll me back to him..
“What wrong with me admiring my h0t wife???” He whispered to my ear and I could feel bu-tterflies in my stomach. I was happy and the same time sad…Sad that I would die if he is not by my side after seven months…
“She doesn’t want to be admired…” I drew back and got into be-d…
A few minutes later, I felt him so close behind me his arm around my stomach.
“I hope you don’t mind…”
I placed my hand on his and smiled sheepishly. I wanna turn so bad and k!ssyou like my life depends on it..
Jordan’s POV
Every day I feel more complete, more bewitching and one thing is for sure I can’t leave without her…
Nowadays I can see a glow in her eyes when she looks at me.
. I love the way she shys off when I compliment her. Is she falling for me???That I am not sure of but I hope so.
I don’t want to divorce her. plea-se Ciara, say you love me..Even if it throu-gh a letter or a sign language…
With her so close beside me I feel like home…I pray to the heavens that this to be my forever. Let her eyes be the first thing I see when I wake up…
It was the second last day before the wedding and everything in the house was chaos..
“Jordan, here is your breakfast. Downstairs is a mess and I know it would have been ha-rd for you to have your breakfast..” She placed the tray on the table lamp and c@m£ to help me with my tie…
“How will I live without you after seven months if you keep spoiling me like this???”I asked to see if she would give me a sign she doesn’t want a divorce..
“Eat up your breakfast, I will have my bath now…” She smiled and got into the bathroom..
When I was done with my breakfast re-ady to leave I remembered something. I nee-ded to write my wife a five million cheque. A Marcias doesn’t borrow loans especially my wife.
It will really break my heart if my wife has to work at the mercies of others..Her husband is the most successful CEO and he will do anything to make her a successful business woman too..
I quic-kly wrote the cheque, placed it on her table lamp and left before when I heard the bathroom’s door knob shuffle..
I wanted to drive off very fast but Jaxon nee-ded a cheque to pay the wedding planner.
I know you wondering if he forgave me???Yes we talked it throu-gh and saw it fit if everyone stayed on their lane. All in all it is always bros before anything.
But when it comes to Ciara, I will always put her first. I was done talking to Jaxon re-ady to get into my car when I heard Ciara calling me…
plea-se heavens, I hope she is not mad. I just wanted to help her out…
I turned around to face her re-ady for my wrath,”Cia…”
My face warmed as she crept closer and wra-pped her arms around my shoulders.
“Thank Jordan, it means alot…”
She k!$$£d me straight on thel-ips and went back to the house. There and then my br@in shifted to airplane mode…Dear God let’s this story never end…
