Chapter Six

Jordan

I wanted to do this shoot and get over with, especially when I will have to team up with Shem. When I got here yesterday, I saw her insulting workers in here and later on she was flirting with me making me dislike her immediately.

She seem to be a new recruit and she was already all over the place, when she called this morning that she wouldn't be able to make it for the shoot, I was so glad.

Ramos was pissed when he heard that she cancelled, everything was arranged in a rush and now she cancelled, it only mean all these stress will be gone through again just because of her.

"This is completely messed up, I can't work with lackadaisical people like this" Ramos lamented, he was visibly stressed. Then an idea popped into my head.

"I know this is out of it but can Nova pair up with me?" Judge me all you want, I'm selfish, yes I am but I just have to do this.

There is no losing NL, not again. I know what I did was wrong and stupid but I am so sorry and wish she could forgive me. Let's continue the story from where we left.

Flashback.

Unpacking was quite stressful but in no time I was done, all along the two dufus I have as roommates were just staring at me, don't they have anything to do? I thought college was meant to be tough and busy.

After unpacking, I got settled and picked up my phone to speak with NL but I was shocked by the two figures smiling down at me. I looked at their faces one after another but they were only smiling like idiots.

"What?" I asked confused.

"We are going into town tonight, wanna come?" Crystal asked me with Rodriguez nodding. Wait, are these two like robots or what?

"I don't thi........."

"Shhhh, man up J, it is going to be fun, buzz and girls, loud music, common" Crystal said trying to convince me, wild parties are my scene and I used to be the boss of party in highschool, I throw the best parties but do I really want to go with them?

"Quit thinking" Crystal added and like a fool I found myself nodding slowly.

"Yeah man" Rodriguez beamed and hurried to my wardrobe, I thought these were things girls do on a party night, was he really getting me dressed?

I guess I got the answer to my question when a blues Jean and Red tee was dropped on my bed.

"Get dressed" Crystal yelled over the loud music he started playing a while ago, I'm in for some deep shit!!!

I'm not the kind of guy who hide himself, I don't pretend. Immediately we got to the club, I made my way straight to the bar with Crystal and Rodriguez following behind me.

Crystal gave my shoulder a light squeeze as I settled on one of the bar stools and ordered a whiskey.

"Way to go man, I knew you had it in you" Crystal commented and they both ordered the same, all along Rodriguez was just laughing like an idiot.

While drinking, a lady came over and started flirting and touching me, I knew it was wrong, NL was there and I would not want to let her down.

"My friends here might be interested in you" I told her then, excused myself. Loyal boyfriend? I know.

Loud music, strangers grinding on each other, some eating out each other's face, some were actually fucking in the dark but in everything, a pretty young lady was on her own in the corner of the club.

She seemed reserved unlike most girls you find in the club so, I made my way to her.

"Hey" I said hoping she would hear me over the loud music and thankfully she did and replied "hi".

"Can I sit over here?"

"Sure" she replied with a nod and I slide next to her. For a moment I only stared at her with a million questions in my head, don't get me wrong I am not interested in having anything with her but I needed to pass time. Being in a club without your girlfriend could be boring when you are trying to be loyal.

Once I get dancing and drinking with a lady, I might loose all the sense in me and that would be the last thing I want to do, the guilt will keep eating me up.

"Are you just going to keep staring at me?" She asked making me laugh, of which she laughed as well.

"Im sorry just wondering what you are doing here all alone".

"Can't a girl come to the club just to have fun?" She replied smiling but I knew it was a lie, she was not having fun, rather she was dying of boredom here, all alone.

"Doesn't look like it, tell me" she gave a nervous smile and asked.  "Is it that obvious?".

She played with her fingers for a while and bit her lip, nervous I must say.

"Sorry, I don't really flow well with strangers. Boyfriend wanted to meet up here but he is yet to come" she explained.

I smiled and adjusted in my seat, moving a little closer, I wanted to see the face of who I was talking to clearly. It was dark but the music was not so loud here.

She looked beautiful, her hair was brown and I can't exactly say her height from her seated position but she shouldn't be taller than 5.3 and very slender.

"Boyfriend uhn? He shouldn't keep a lady like you waiting" I told her but she seemed to get me wrong as she stared at me with a questioning eyes.

"What do you mean a lady like me?" I was quick to make things clear to her to avoid any kind of misunderstanding.

"You seem so cool, like a really nice lady which should be loved and appreciated". Her mouth formed a O shape, probably getting my point and then looked away. She seemed like she had been sitting here for long and was tired of waiting.

All of a sudden I saw a look of shock in her eyes as she got up to her feet staring at something, I followed her eyes into the crowd in here and saw two people sucking out each other's faces. Her boyfriend I guess.

"Is that your....."

"Boyfriend! It's not his first" she said, picked her bag and made way to leave, I quickly went after her and thankfully caught up with her.

"I'm sorry about that" I said softly, she spinned to face me, we were out of the club and there was a bright light out her, so finally, I could see her clearly. She was so beautiful and doesn't deserve any of this shit.

"You don't have to be sorry, it is my fault! He has been cheating on me and I keep forgiving him, when you forgive a cheat, he will only cheat even more" her eyes were getting watery and I really don't know what to do in situations like this. I pulled her into and embrace probably that could help.

"Let's get you home" I told her. She happened to be a student in my college, so it was easy for me. I went straight to my place after I was sure she was fine.

Her roommates were really nice as well and they helped in consoling her, I also found out her name was Catty.

It was only when I got back to my room I remembered NL, I wanted to give her a call earlier before I left for the club, so I called her.

"Babe"

"Really Jordan, really? You promised to call back" she complained immediately, yeah yeah, I know.

"Sorry love, things happened! I went out with my roommates".

"Already? Life of the party? I thought that ended in highschool".

"I guess not......." That was how we talked for long until we fell asleep, p.s my roomies never came back until early morning.
