MR. JORDAN BLACK

Chapter 7; Boss' House

"This is where you're going to be for the next couple days if you decide to stay" Mr Matthews opens the door to a room and my eyes widen at the gigantic room, it bigger than half my flat "Wow" I say and Mr Matthews laughs to himself "You gonna be fine" He drops my bag on the floor and I nod "Breakfast is at 8am, we will be gone soon after" I smile and he pats my shoulder "If you ever need to talk, no matter what, I'm only a phone call away" I nod and he turns around and leaves the room

I walk to the bed and sit on top of it "This room is literally a dream" I say looking around

I get dressed and lay in bed, I decided not to leave a note or call Alyssa, she doesn't tell me anything so why do I have to feel the need to tell her stuff as well and as for Jordan, he's dead to me

Literally

The next morning, I wake up with puffy eyes and a swollen face, I get up and go to the toilet trying to make myself look presentable by washing my face to look better

Once I'm done I walk downstairs and see my bosses wife Cheryl "Good morning Cheryl" 

(see no relationship between boss and Skye)

"Oh Skye I didn't know you was awake so early" She jumps up surprised and I chuckle "Yeah well, here I am" I smile and lick my lips "Are you okay honey, just-" She points at her face indicating my face "I am fine" I lie to her face and look around "Where are you guys going?" I notice the baggage in her hands and the ones next to her

"We are going out of town for a few months" "Months?!" I exclaim and she nods "So what about the restaurant?" "Well my husband will be in out but it will soon go under renovation for a month or two to give us even more time" She explains and I nod "So you guys will be gone for long?" "Not too long" Mr Matthews replies as he comes out in a suit from his office "Oh okay" I say "Are you going to ask her?" Cheryl looks at him "Ask her what?" I look at Mr Matthews "Well we need someone to house keep, watch over the house and I trust you a lot Skye, so can you please stay and watch over it" I stand there "I thought it was just a few days not months" "You don't have to be here all the time but maintenance is key" "I am honoured really, but don't you guys have maids for that, I  just don't want to let you down" They both smile and I look confused 

"Yes, but we need someone we trust to keep everything under condition" Mr Matthews taps my shoulder and I smile at their thought "So?" "I-I would love to" I say happily "Then we will get going, call us if anything goes wrong, my nephew will be here too so you don't have to let it affect your studies" "Wait right away?" I laugh and they nod "Y-Yeah okay" They started to walk to the door but the Mr Matthews stops

"OH!" He turns back to me and I look back at him "A man, Jordan Black, from yesterday, the man you served is coming over to grab something, it's in our room on the bed, I don't have time to run and get it but when he is here please make sure the maids take care of him well" 

My luck literally was growing but I didn't want to make scene so I nodded like I didn't mind at all even though I did

"It's for business, so please don't make him upset" I slowly nod my head, I mean I don't have a choice, he didn't ask, he was telling me to do it

"I will, I promise, now you two can go" "Thank you so much Skye expect a very big pay check this month, I will wire you the money myself" "Oh no you don't have to" "Skye, don't argue" I smile and put my hand up "I understand sir, safe flight" I wave at them and they get into their drivers car leaving me in this mansion with nothing to do, so I decided to give myself a house tour 

An hour later, after I was done with exploring just half the house, I hear the door bell sound so I rush to the door to quickly open it without even checking to find the only and only Mr Black standing there in all his glory 

The man who literally made me cry tears I didn't know was possible, I look at his Greek God state but I'm less amused that he was on his phone not paying any attention to me

He looks up from his phone literally freezing and stares me up and down at my small state

He was clearly in shock and I could tell from his his eyes but I don't give him any emotions to let him know how I am feeling "Listen Gloria I would have to call you later, I am very, very busy today" He holds on to the 'very' still looking me up and down and I wait for him to finish 

 "What you seeping with the boss now?" He looks angry now as we lock eye contact

My eyes literally pop out but I try my best not to react "Are you stupid? Mr Matthews is married" I scoff out and walk away from the door to the living room signalling him to follow me in which he does

"I am going to-" He grabs my body and pins me to the wall behind me not even giving me space to breathe "Who owns these then" He gestures at my neck at a bruise I did not even know was there "Dunno had a rough night yesterday" I pretend to act dumb even though I really didn't know and he laughs to himself letting me go "It gets like that" He says in disgust and I roll my eyes

How dare he

"Have a seat" "I don't want to" He says without looking at me which did bother me as I wanted to spend as less time with him possible "I am going to get what you came for"

"It's not even that heavy" I say to myself as I walk back into the living room finding him sitting down but he stands up when I enter the room 

"Do you know what this is?" He asks me as I hand him the box and I shake my head "No" I answer pretending not to care even though I kinda did "Skye, I have a feeling you're still mad at me?" "Mad? why would I be mad, of course I'm not mad, do I look mad?" "Obviously not" He says sarcastically and places the box down on the table 

He puts his hand on my hips and comes to me which I did find intimidating but I stood still staring at him

He comes to me and tilts my head up but I look away "If we are done, you can make your way out Mr Black" I say trying not to look at him "Why would you call me that?" "I have respect for strangers" I say in a petty manner and I hear him scoff "Strangers?" I look at him to snap back "I am sorry, to you, I am a fling which I didn't remember, so we are now strangers to me" He pushes his hair back closing his eyes 

"Why are you on my mind 24/7?" He says his words aloud and I didn't know how to react "There is so much for me to explain, but I can't, but I want you to know, the girl you saw me with last night she was nothing, no one, I just found a random chick and asked her to come, I knew you wouldn't have come" He says not even looking at me

It's funny how he talked about Alyssa right now, to him she's a random but to her that's a dream come true, in the end he didn't know and neither did she, so there was no reason for me to be mad at her "You don't have to explain anything to me" He nods slowly and I bite my lip

"And to add on to your point, maybe if you did ask, I would've said yes but I guess we will never know" I shrug and he raises his brows "I barely even remembered the girls name from last night, but my parents liked her" I nod not even caring 

"I want to get to know you" He says bluntly me taking me a back "Jord- Mr Black" I correct myself "In all respects this is not the best time to talk, not right now, what you did is still fresh and I barely know you" "I will give you space, but don't keep me waiting for long" I shrug "Time will tell" was the last thing I said before he grabbed the package and headed towards the door to leave
