Chapter Eight
Katrina woke up with a start, she had not slept well last night though she had gone to bed early, she had been toasting and turning in bed and had given up at a point and just ended up doing some work on her laptop which had not been easy cuz her mind kept going back to the event of the day and also the upcoming trip she was both excited and scared.
She sluggishly got up from the bed and headed to the restroom, brushed her teeth, and washed her face before coming back into the room to put finishing touches to the stuff she had arranged the previous evening for her travel. Thankfully, she just had her period and it would be until early next month before it would come again but she still made sure to pack pads just in case. Not wanting to wake Jordan up, she tried to move her stuff to the living area as quietly as she could, the time was just past five am and she still had a lot of time since they usually use an eleven am flight every time they traveled, bookings for flight usually just involve calling the airport and alerting them of the trip and the rest were done by them, a peck of being rich and influential.
She made sure everything she needed ranging from toiletries to dress and shoes were intact she hated traveling unprepared and since only little was given to her she had not been able to buy new dresses and shoes, she loved to dress well and wasn’t scared to spend on the dressing. Her mom always said she had been like that since she was little and at a point, she had considered going into fashion but had changed her mind when she found out it involved her going on diet and eating little bits of food, she loved eating and anything that makes her not eat is not for her, she loves her curve shape too and won’t trade it for anything.
She finished arranging her things and went to take her bath and by the time she was done it was already six am.
“Baby girl why didn’t you wake me up to help you?” Jordon asked yawning as he walked into her room.
“I didn’t want to disturb you,”
She replied moving over to him and turning her back so he could zip up her dress.
“You know Kat if I wasn’t into men I would have seriously gone for you, you are a full course meal,”
He said licking his tongue and observing her. She knew he was joking cuz that’s how it has always been.
“Well, maybe I wouldn’t be single now if you did.” She replied hitting him on the shoulder.
“Nah, I am sorry but I don’t fancy pussies,” he answered.
“Go brush your teeth Jord, it smells,”
She answered back.
“I will miss you, Katrina, I am trying not to show it but for one whole month I won’t see this beautiful face, I don’t know how I am gonna cope with that,”
He whimpered dramatically.
“Don’t be so dramatic Jordon, there is face time and other methods of communication so you won’t miss me,”
“Facetime doesn’t come close to seeing your face though, I hate it when you go on trips and I can’t come along.”
He said sucking.
“It’s not just a trip Jord it’s a business trip, no fun in it,”
“Yeah, I agree, but then again this could be fun though, if I were you I will fuck him and get over it,”
“Jordan, it too early to use such words,”
She scolded but he wasn’t feeling remorseful cuz he rolled his eyes at her and continued.
“It’s not like you are some virgin girl, Think about it Kat, this is a great opportunity for you, use it well, that said, I added a pack of condoms in your language it may come in handy.”
He disclosed.
“What? Why will you do that? I am not gonna seduce my boss neither am I gonna sleep with him,” she shouted going to get her language from the living room and open it.
“Don’t bother except you wanna start arranging over again cuz it at the bottom I slipped it in when you were sleeping, don’t waste this opportunity you might not get it again, it better to cry knowing you went there at all than to cry for not going,” he said in a twisted logical way. She didn’t want to go through the stress of scattering and rearranging the bag so she just sat on her bed and eyed him, even if she wanted to sleep with her boss he didn’t want that and except she decide to rape him there is no way it gonna happen, he doesn’t see her as a woman just someone who helps with the job.
“Even I want to, Lucas doesn’t see me as a woman,” she voiced out her thoughts in a sad voice.
“That’s what you think, you are a beautiful lady, no man can resist you,”
“You can,”
“Well, I am different, and I like your body but not in a lustful way, okay no man who is into women can resist you, Lucas being a big-time womanizer won’t be different, you just have to work out how to get him to commit the sinful pleasure.”
“I am not gonna do it, so let stop,”
“You are no…
Her phone rang and she checked and saw it was Lucas’s number.
“Speaking of the devil, why is he calling me so early?”
She voiced as she picked the call, Jord rolled his eyes and lay back down on her bed.
“Hello, good morning Lucas,”
“Kat, hi, I am at your front door,” he voiced and the phone almost fell from her hand.
“What? So early, I thought I told you I will come over on my own?”
She voiced getting up from her bed and heading towards the living room area, she turned and whispered to Jord who pretended not to hear what she was saying. She shot him a dirty look and went out of her room.
“I didn’t agree to that,” Lucas replied and hanged up. Kat resisted to urge to scream, she looked around, her living room was pretty decent, she walked to the door and opened it and he stood there looking tall and handsome with an arrogant smile on his face.
“Good morning Katrina, how was your night?” He asked as he walked into her living room without waiting for her invitation.
“Are we leaving already? I thought it usually an eleven am flight?” She asked ignoring his greeting, he sat on her soda and smiled at her.
“Yeah, it is but we have a few things to cover before we board the plane, so that’s why I am here to pick you up early, I see you are already ready, so if you don’t mind going to get your bag so that we can be on our wa…”
Jordan came into the living that moment and Lucas stopped talking, looking from her to him.
“You guys live together?”
He asked in a shocking voice.
“No, there is…*”
“Yes, we do,” Jordan said cutting her off, she turned and eyed him, and he just smiled slyly.
“I didn’t know, is that why you didn’t want me dropping you off?”
“He wanted to drop you off and you said no?”
She didn’t know which one of the questions to answer so she just walked up to Jordan and pulled him back into her room.
“What the fuck was that?”
She whisper shouted.
“Nothing, I just wanted to see something,” he replied.
“What?”
“You don’t need to know, get your bags and have a safe and fun-filled trip, he said giving her a peck on her cheek before walking out of the room.
She faced palmed herself and hurriedly carried her language and bag, when she came out of the room, both Lucas and Jordan looked like they just had a face-off but she didn’t have time to ask what happened as Jordan walked up to her and carried the language heading out while she and Lucas followed in silent.
“Katrina, have a safe trip,” Jordan said again when they got to where Lucas’s car was parked and hugged her. “Call me, and don’t forget to do the deeds with him,” he whispered to her and she drew back from him, he smiled and walked back towards her apartment turning around at her entrance he pointed at Lucas.
“Remember what I said, I will be watching you,” he said and entered the house.
Katrina turned to ask Lucas what he meant by what he said but changed her mind when she saw the look on his face, she will ask him later, she concluded. They drove in silence for a while until she looked up and saw that they weren’t going towards the airport.
“Where are we going to?”
“Shopping,” he replied not looking at her.
“Shopping? For what, ?”
“For our little drama, Kat we need some couple clothes,”
“What? Do we need that? For real?”
“Yes, and you should start calling me something romantic,”
He said facing her for the first time since they got into the car,”
“No way,”
“Come on it’s not that hard, baby,”
“No, she replied and plugged her headphone not minding that she was been rude.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
He just smiled and continued driving and Katrina prayed that she can get through this one week without fooling herself.
