BREAKING NEWS : The body that was found a week ago in the sewage canal has been idenfied as Tony Anderson from the Dean's co-operation.
Lilly couldn't believe what was going on. She was stopped dead in her tracks by the news she just heard. It felt as if somebody dropped a bombshell on her, it actually took a long time for her to recover from the shock. How could somebody kill him so mercilessly? Who would have killed him? Many questions rushed into her mind.
She remembered all the encounters she had with Tony, how he was sweating as if his life depended on it when he apologized back then and explained about Jordan WAIT JORDAN? WAS JORDAN BEHIND ALL THESE?
she shook her head in disbelief and tried to avoid her accusive thoughts about Jordan. *He wouldn't have done it right?* But once agian Jordan's words hit her *There's always a wild side to an innocent face* she ran her fingers through her hair while grabbing it out of frustration *No, there's no way Jordan would do that!* anxiety started taking over her, she quickly sprinted to find her medicine. She again sprinted towards kitchen, grabbed a glass of water and gulped down her pills while trying calm herself down.
Just then the entrace door opened with a loud thud and a black figure, whose eyes were covered with the black hood appeared. Soon he pushed his hood back revealing his face. He ruffled his wet hair that was drenched in the rain, his eyes were bloodshot.
Lilly was terrified seeing Jordan in that state, he had a cut on his forehead and his lower lip was bleading. He exactly looked like a criminal who just got his job done. Realising his gaze shifting towards her, she got even more scared out of her wits and her blood ran cold. The glass of water in her hand slipped and shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. In no time she ran upstairs to her room and locked it. She silently prayed for David to return home as soon as possible.
On the other side Jordan was confused seeing her actions, he wondered why she ran away like she saw a ghost. *Weird* he thought and walked towards his room.
Lilly eagerly searched for her phone inorder to call david but realised that it was left on the couch.*Sh*t* she cursed because she had no guts to walk down and get her phone. At the end she had no choice but to wait for David to come home. She plopped down onto her bed and rolled a few times out of discomfort.
It was getting darker outside but David wasn't home yet. Lilly was already asleep, probably lost in her dreamland since she was tired of waiting for David.
Her brows knitted and slowly she started sweating *Come, sit make youself comfortable Lilly!* Tony's words replayed in her mind *I think I saw you somewhere Lilly*
*The body found in the canal has been identified as Tony Anderson from Dean's co-operation* *There is always a wild side for an innocent face* *Gun shots* *screams* *Blood everywhere* she jolted and wokeup with a scream, heaving with heavy breaths, it took some time for her to register where she was. She was sweating profusely while her heart was pounding with all the adrenaline rush. She wanted to recover from it but the nightmare left her weak and trembling.
Hearing her scream Jordan quickly rushed into her room using a spare key. Seeing her trembling he sprinted towards her "Are you ok?" He was tensed.
She was even more horror stricken when she saw Jordan coming towards her. She started backing away "No, Don't come near me" she screamed. Tears started flooding in her eyes.
"Don't be scared! I'm hear to help you. calm down" Jordan was assuring her.
"No, go away. You are a MONSTER!" she backed away, not even realising she was already at the edge of the bed. Before she could hit the floor Jordan caught her and pulled her into a hug. She tried her best to push him away but he held her tight enough and caressed her back while trying to calm her down.Tired of fighting back she gave up and silently cried in his hug.
"Shh! Don't cry, I'm here for you" Hearing his soothing words she started to feel comfortable and less scared. "Did you have a nightmare?" He asked. She sniffed and slowly nodded in his hug. He patted her head and comforted her.
She backed a little not leaving the hug and slowly observed his face to find the cut on his forehead not been treated yet. She traced her fingers near his cut but he didn't even flinch as he was busy observing her actions. Trying to not get the same old thoughts again she carefully asked him "What happened?"
Jordan hesistated a bit "It was raining and I couldn't see properly so I tripped".
Lilly glared at him seeing how lame his excuse was. He chuckled and cleared his throat "I got into a fight" Lilly remained blank as she already expected that answer. "With who?" She asked while looking at him.
Jordan just sighed and pulled her back into hug "Just a random reporter who was trying throw shade on the company for Tony's death" Seeing her remaining calm, he got a clue that she had already knew about Tony's death.
"Who did that to Tony?" she asked while nuzzling more into him. "I found out that he had some debts to pay, maybe its one of them. Don't worry, the investigation is going on, they'll find out soon".
Lilly slowly stood up and pulled him "Come I'll treat your cut " She walked and brought the first aid kit. He just stood and watched all her moves with a hint of smile playing on his lips. She walked and stood infront of him seeing his cut. "Sit on the bed, I can't comfortably treat you if I can't reach the cut"
Jordan just smiled and shook his head as a 'No', making Lilly to forrow her brows out of dilemma. He gradually bent down and lifted her up. She squealed at his sudden action and wrapped her legs around his waist by hugging him to prevent herself from falling. He held her waist as he carried and placed her on the table. He stood between her legs "Then? Is this position comfortable to treat me now?" He smirked.
Lilly tried hard not to blush, so she just avoided his eyes and started cleaning his cut. While he was busy staring at her features he saw how concentrated she was and imagined how lucky he would be if she was more than a girlfriend.
She finished treating it and dropped all the things back into the box but Jordan's intense gaze caught her attention. She involuntarily stopped her actions, slowly getting lost into his eyes. They both were soon drowning in eachother's eyes. His face got closer to her's by every second that ticked. She slowly closed her eyes and waited for him to lean in.
"HOLY COW!"
They instantly turned their heads towards the door to see a displeased David standing with a dirty look on his face.
"Eww what are you guys doing?" David said while pointing his fingers at them before making a disgusted face.
Realising their position she pushed Jordan a little and got down the table .
"I-Its not what it looks like, I was just treating his cut" she hesitantly spoke.
"Cut? Wait? What happened to you Jordan? Are you ok?" David was concerened.
"Nothing serious. By the way why are you so late? Where were you?" Jordan smirked, god knows why.
"M-me? O-oh I just had to buy some groceries for kitchen so" David nervously laughed.
"Then where are the groceries?" Jordan pretended to check David's pockets out of sarcasm to find the so called groceries that were mentioned.
"Haha I-I forgot my credit card so I left them at the shop and will get it tomorrow!" David gave a funny excuse by pushing Jordan away.
"sure but who were you with? I'm sure I saw her somewhere before" Jordan started teasing him.
" What are you talking about? I think you have mistaken me for someonelse!" David walked towards him and wrapped his arm around Jordan's shoulder. "We have a discussion to make you go to sleep Lilly. We'll be leaving now" David announced and dragged Jordan out of the room while Lilly was laughing about how funny the situation was.
"Good night Lilly" Jordan winked at her.
She blushed a little and mumbled a 'good night'.

Lilly was sitting near the counter while sipping her cold coffee and was busy talking to Honey who was now busy doing her work at the cafe. The cafe looked quite empty.
Suddenly Lilly felt a cold metal touching the back of her head. Honey widened her eyes seeing the scene infront of her while Lilly froze in her spot.
"HANDS UP! Quit playing INNOCENT anymore Ms.Lilly Jersey!"
