She stepped past him keeping her eyes fixed ahead, she had to force herself not to stare at his bare chest and prayed that she wasn't drooling. She felt his hand fall lightly on her back "Take a seat.." he said as he guided her to the living room.
She sat down on the leather sofa and gave him a shy smile. "You're probably wondering why I'm here right?" she said nervously.
Jordan rubbed the back of his neck and nodded "Yea, I mean..You're the last person I'd expect to like..be here" he said looking into her eyes.
She stared into the blueness of his eyes and wanted him to hold her again, she wanted to feel his lips on hers and forget what had happened the day before.
"Um, I'm gonna go get dressed..I'll be right back..um...make a coffee or something if you want to.." he stood there hesitantly in the doorway not taking his eyes away from hers.
She nodded and he looked to the floor "So..I'll be right back.." he took one last look at her and headed up the stairs to his room.
Angela rubbed her temples and stood up to look around the living room. She frowned as she noticed that there were no family portraits anywhere, none of Jordan as a baby, nothing. It's like he has no family she thought sadly. She heard Jordan clamber down the stairs and quickly sat back down on the sofa. He walked into the living room pulling a black t shirt over his head.
Angela couldn't help but stare at his tight abdominal muscles and she felt herself blush again.
Jordan looked at her the small crease of his frown still hadn't left his face "I'm getting a coffee, want one?" She nodded her head "That'd be great..thanks" she tucked her hair behind her ear and coughed as Jordan made his way to the kitchen.
"So I noticed that you weren't at school" she said, her voice oddly high pitched.
Jordan poked his head out from behind the kitchen door and smiled "So you came all the way to my house to ask why I wasn't in school?" he shook his head rolling his eyes and went back into the kitchen.
Angela cleared her throat and closed her eyes get a grip Angela, dammit get a grip she scolded herself. "Um..no, I came round because I wanted to like ask you something...See, there's this like rumour..That's um.. going around school about you and Rayanne...I just wanted to ask you about it, y'know whether it was true or not" she said sounding worried..
Jordan walked back into the living room and handed her a cup of black coffee, he sat down opposite her in the armchair and looked confused "Me and Graff? Huh? What kind of rumour?" he asked clearly perplexed.
Angela took a sip of the coffee and looked to the floor, not wanting to accuse him again. "That..well..I don't know it's silly really..um, they say that Rayanne like done something to you..and that Joey has proof..I dunno.." she shrugged, feeling terrible for even mentioning it to him but at the same time desperate for the truth.
Jordan laughed remembering exactly what Angela meant " Ah I see, look, she got drunk..she fell asleep in my lap and Joey thought it would be funny to film it..nothing happened..Shane took her back here and I slept on a fuckin sofa at the loft..a really uncomfortable sofa..and that's why I didn't go to school today..I was beat"
Angela let out a sigh of relief as Jordan rubbed his eyes. "Angela, did you believe that rumour?" She shrugged not knowing what to say and Jordan ran his hand through his hair.
"Jesus, it's like yesterday all over again.." he mumbled looking at the floor. Angela looked at him "I needed to hear it from you, I wasn't about to believe anything til I heard it from you..I've learnt that at least.." she whispered.
Jordan just continued to stare at her, a mixture of sadness and longing written across his face. "I said a lot of things that I shouldn't have like ..said..Yesterday I mean..I told you things I didn't like mean...I don't know.." he rubbed his chin and looked to the floor why is it so frustrating trying to talk to her? he thought looking to the floor.
Angela put her coffee down on the table and bit her lower lip " I have to stop running away..I mean..from you.." she whispered.
Jordan sighed and looked back into her Green eyes "I can't like just be friends with you Angela..I don't think we ever were friends.."
She nodded in agreement "No, we weren't...But we can be ..If we try.." she said hopefully. Jordan shook his head " Is that what you really want, just a friendship? 'cos I can't and I wont..."
Angela looked confused not knowing what Jordan was implying " So you don't want me in your life any-more?" she said lip quivering oh shit don't cry again Angela..it's all you seem to do she thought looking at Jordans face.
"I'm saying that I want to be with you, I do..But you have to like trust me..I'll wait, I'll do whatever but I want to be with you..I don't care about the sex..okay okay that's a lie I do care about sex, but I will wait..If that's what you want.."
Angela nodded her face breaking out into a relieved smile " That's all I've ever wanted you to do Jordan..You'll know when I'm ready, you'll be the first to know..I promise"
He smiled at her and relaxed back in his chair "So are we done now? Are things sorted now? 'Cos I'm telling ya, I'm all talked out..I don't like..normally talk this much..it's weird.."
Angela nodded her head and took another sip of her coffee "I think so, I think we've finally communicated properly" she smiled.
"Then come over here and kiss me..." he whispered looking at her intensely. She didn't need telling twice, she stood up and walked towards him, he reached out his hands and took hers in his, pulling her down onto his lap. She cupped his chin in her hands and kissed him tenderly.
They kissed for a long time, not wanting to let go of eachother. He pulled her into a tight hug and whispered in her ear "I've missed this"
She kissed his neck and mumbled "me too".
He adjusted his position so he was looking down at her face "We've got the rest of the afternoon, you're not planning on going back to school are you?"
Angela shook her head "No, I'm staying here with you..As long as you get me home by 4pm.."
He nuzzled into her neck and sighed "cool, you'll be home by 4pm..I swear"
