Attitude meets Arrogance - Episode 29

 

Jordan's POV
When I woke up, I couldn't feel my back..It was aching like crazy and  turning my neck around was hell of a work, the pain was unbearable...I looked like a human robot and there she was looking all fresh...

"That's the best sleep I have ever had..." She yawned, stretching herself...
"My lovely husband, how did you sleep???"

"I slept like a baby. From now on, I will be sleeping on the couch . Its very comfortable..." I faked a stretch where as my back was crying in pain...

"Okay..."

She got back to bed...

"Missy," I pulled the duvet from her," Today we are having an interview in my office..."

"I am not going..." She pulled the duvet over her head...

"I don't want to fight right now. My back and neck are......"  On realisation of what I wanted to say, words stuck on my throat...

Dammit I almost sold myself out...

She quickly kicked the duvet from the bed and sat upright, "You were saying something about your back and neck..."

"Mmmh....Freshness...I feel cool.." I danced, whining my waist...

She tapped her cheek sending me a suspicious look, "You feel cool. Okay, lie on the bed.."

"What???"
"Yes, lie on your stomach

. I wanna test something..." She stood on the bed and started jumping on it like a little girl.

"What if you kill me???"
"C'mon, You are Jordan Marcias not even the devil can get to you..."

That statement boosted my ego. For once she knew what kind of a man I am...

Like an obeying husband, I lied on the bed...

"Remove your T-shirt???"

"What??? This is nonsense..." I stood from the bed, "You want to take my pics and send them to the paparazzis." I pointed at her but she just stood there shaking her head..

"Why should I send your pics to the paparazzis??? You are not even that good looking..." She rolled her eyes...

I am not good looking??. Has she seen my abs??? Has she seen how many magazines cover am in???

I removed my T-shirt angrily...
"What are these???" I pointed at my abs...

"I have abs too..." She removed her T-shirt and had only a bra on...

"Wait, are girls not supposed to sleep without a bra???"

She slapped her forehead when she noticed what she had done and quickly wore the T-shirt back on...

"That's not your business..." She cussed out..

"Why am I even shocked??? You are even a normal girl..."

There and then she did something at my neck. At first I felt a sharp pain but it was no more...

"What did you do???" I asked touching my neck. I had my neck back..

"I wanted you to stop looking like a human robot..." A hoarse dry laughter escaped her throat..

Was it that obvious????

"So does your back also hurt????"

I was in a dilemma. If I say yes, she will mock me..If I say no, I will be forever casted into the pits of pain..

"Yes.." I replied looking unbothered..
"Lie on the bed...."

Without asking questions, I lied on the bed...She did magic with her feet and within minutes I felt okay...

"Just know you owe me..." She jumped from the bed, "And please turn around, I want to change.."

"This is my room...If you can't change infront of me it's your business..."

I was joking and she wasn't... She literally took off her T-shirt and pyjamas as I was looking at her...She wasn't shy at all, it didn't even look like she cared...

"Are you still going to look at me while I take off my bra and undies???"

I felt embarrassed and looked away...
Her confidence was on another level...

Another girl would have been shy to even show me her bra but her she just didn't care...

After some few minutes she got out of the bathroom and found me on the bed reading through a certain proposal...

I don't know how she slipped but in a blink of an eye, she was on top of me...

I could feel my heart doing somersaults in my chest... I don't know why I  was trembling...

Her towel was loose and had only covered her butt.. The front part of her body was lying naked on top of me...

She was looking deep into my eyes in terror and there I was paralysed in shock... Couldn't she have fallen on top of me with a clothes on???

I could feel weird things happening down there... I didn't know for how long I could control little Jordan...

"Jordan how do I get from here???"

"Please do it quick before I do something I would regret..." I stammered...

"Close your eyes..."

I gently closed my eyes and felt her slowly sliding away from me...

The moment she was all wrapped up in a towel, I ran to the bathroom to cool my testerones that were on fire...

I rinsed my face and gathered my thoughts together.

"Jordan don't lose focus...You can't let anything happen...You are a strong arrogant man, don't forget what the world took from you..." I reminded myself through the mirror..

I looked around the bathroom and I almost got a heart attack.

. It was a mess... Her shampoos and shower gels were all over. She had pressed the toothpaste from the middle, who does that???

"Ciara, why are you turning my bathroom into a messy little room.??" I yelled..
"You are my husband clean it up..."

"And why did you press the toothpaste from the middle???Are you not civilised???We press the toothpaste from the bottom..." I was losing my mind...

In one morning, I had gone through alot of emotional rollercoasters..

"Just because I pressed it from the middle,what happened???? If you don't want to use it, throw it in the trash...I will buy mine and be pressing it from the middle.."

She pushed me aside and got inside the bathroom with her make up kit box..

This girl is so disorganised. Her towel was lying lazily on the floor, her body lotion on the bed...

Heavens, give me strength....

********
When we arrived at the company, I reached down to intertwine my fingers with hers..

She looked tensed and agitated...

She followed me into my office which was swarming with celebrity reporters, bloggers, paparazzis eager to catch a glimpse of us..

I heard her intake a sharp breath before we got into the office... When we opened the door, cameras flashed and the questions were hurtled at us...

"Where and when did you two get married????"
"When is your honeymoon???"
"Ciara will you quit being a fashion designer that now you are married to a Marcias..."

I felt her hand shaking and squeezed it.. My eyes searched for hers and I saw fear in her eyes..

"Calm down people, do you want my wife to get a heart attack??? Take her slow..."

"We got married yesterday. We had a private party in our house, family only.." I came to her rescue before she could mess things up..

"Our honeymoon for now is a secret..."

"My wife is not quitting her career. I am going to support her as a loving husband..."

They turned to her, "Ciara, what's special about Jordan???"

She was silent for a moment before she replied, "He is caring, loving and loyal. To the world he is that arrogant man but to me he is the best thing that has ever happened to me.."

Deep down, I knew it was a lie but I felt happy hearing her say that...

"But why did you get married so fast??? You just announced your engagement the previous day???"

"I love him and he loves me. Why wait???" She kissed me on the cheek, "I couldn't wait to be his.."

She was really acting so well...Our  pre-interview in our room was paying off..

"Ciara......"
"Thats enough, all we wanted to tell the world is that we are married.." I butted in.

"Thank you very much for coming but we have a company to run..." I pushed all of them out and slammed the door...

"That went well, you are lucky you didn't mess up.." I beamed walking towards her..

"I didn't do that for you. Now since I am your wife, I am going to use this marriage as PR for my career..."

"Smile darling," She took out her phone took a selfie of us smiling and a picture of our intertwined fingers showing off our rings..

Why did I smile??? Was I enjoying the game she was playing??? I guess it was fair enough for her to use me as I used her...

"Bye darling..." She took her purse ready to go but I found myself holding her arm, "Don't be late..."

"Since when do you care???"

I dropped her hand and adjusted my tie, "I don't care my grandmother is coming back today and I don't want her to know we are living a lie..."

"I will think about that..Right now I have other things to do..." She rolled her eyes and walked out of my office....

More drama to come..The next chapter will be intense, so watch out...
