Jordan pierced his eyes at clover's and he could testify that he was a bad guy from his look.
From the ring on his lip, to his shady hair and his perverting smirk...all could count.
" What are your motives towards her?!" He spat.
" What's your business if I do have a motive!" Clover spat.
Jordan immediately punched him on his nose but he didn't bled quickly.
He instantly pulled Jordan by his collar, so that both of them were now resting on eachother's chest.
Their eyes locked,both of them gathering the same air at a time.
" I don't want to pick up a fight with you, Mister. It's pretty late to die in my hands" Clover spat.
" Then just stay away from Cami!" Jordan told him sternly.
" How do you expect me to stay away from my girlfriend!" Clover blustered.
Jordan slowly looked at cami.
" He's saying the truth?" He asked.
She bit her lip softly as she looked at clover. There was deception in his eyes and she knew he would tell on her dairy if she denied him.
She sadly pouted, while nodding.
" Yes, I'm his girlfriend" She said with a little croaky voice but Jordan could feel her insecurity.
" Are you sure?" He asked carefully.
Clover pushed him away, breaking their body contact.
" What other answer do you need!. She has already told you her mind!. Why don't you just mind your business for once" Clover spat.
Jordan looked at Cami once again and he knew from her facial expression, something wasn't right.
Clover grabbed cami by her wrist, taking her away towards a distance.
He stopped and turned her shoulders so she'd face him.
" Does that guy live with you?" He asked hastily, wanting answers.
Cami turned her head over and saw Jordan walking into the flat already.
" Yes" She answered, as she faced him while lowering her face.
" Now listen up. There should be a magnificent gap between the two of you. You are my girlfriend now so he mustn't touch you, especially in my absence. Infact, find excuses not to talk to him. Don't smile at him, don't even breath the same air as him. Know that you belong to me now and not anyone else. Do you get me?" He yelled, strangling her with his stern gaze.
She slowly looked down as her eyes turned watery and puffy.
" Stop yelling at me" She sniffed softly.
He sighed and held his waist, not looking even a bit remorseful.
" I don't acknowledge crybabies" He scoffed.
She sniffed again, wiping off her tears.
" I've heard. Can I go in now?. My parents will be looking for me. It's late" She said.
He pocketed his hands, walking closer to her. Cami looked up with her puffy eyes but he was putting on that smirk again.
That smirk that told her to run as fast as she could away from him, but yet again, she would freeze at her spot just looking at him.
" You haven't kissed me yet" He whispered sexily and her blood turned hot as it rushed down the pit of her tummy.
Her heart started to get manipulated again as it destroyed it ribcage.
" Kiss?" She breathed out.
" Of course, flower" He smiled, stroking her hair gently. " It wouldn't take long, you know. Just close your eyes and reminisce in it" He smirked,thinning his brows at her
" I..I...can't, I'm sorry" She said.
" What do you mean?" He asked furiously.
" We just started to date this evening. I can't kiss you until I have feelings for you. I'm sorry but I can't" She said and started to run away.
" Hey!" He tried to catch her but he caught thin air instead.
" Dammit!" He cursed, watching her leap inside the apartment like a little rabbit.
" I can't believe I behaved silly in front of her. I could have just grabbed her into my car and f**k her real hard. There's always tomorrow, afterall" He scoffed and started to walk into his car.
He slammed back the door hard and fisted his hands on the wheel.
" I can't believe she'd be sharing a roof with that idiot guy of a thing. Thinking about it makes me even more crazy" He said and stared at the building once again before pressing on the pedal and speeding off like he was drunk.

Cami slowly opened the door as she walked in to her home carefully.
She looked over and saw her mom on the sofa, holding the remote and she froze on her spot.
" Good evening mom" She greeted in a whisper.
" Good evening at 8pm?. Why don't you just turn it to Goodnight and leave instead" Lexi scoffed.
She kept scratching her hair tangling her hair on her finger.
" I..I.. um...I was doing a school project and__"
" Shut your trap, Camelia. Do you want me to call Taylor and ask her if you had any project at all?" She asked.
Cami's heart began racing again. She held the strap of her bag, not knowing what else to say.
" Anyways, I just finished talking with Taylor snd she said the school closed since 6pm and this is 8pm" She said.
" There was huge traffic!" Cami quickly intruded, breathing heavily as her heart beat got misplaced inside her.
" Traffic?" Lexi stood up.
" I'm sorry" Her eyes teared up as she began to step back,moving towards the door before resting on the door.
" Are you tired of living here?." Her mom asked.
" No, mom" She said guiltily.
" Well to me, I think so. Go in and pack your things and move out and go die somewhere else that is not my house" She spat.
" I swear I won't do it again" She plead.
" Get out!" Lexi pointed at the door.
" Mom?!. Please!" She cried.
" I said leave and go to wherever you're coming from!. To that guy's house you've been visiting all day, Go, Just Go!!" She yelled.
" Mom please!, I'm sorry, I swear never to come home late ever again. I've learnt my lesson" She cried and Lexi pulled off her flops.
Cami quickly opened the door and ran out of the house quickly.
Lexi closed it up with a bang and locked it, caring less of where she's going to.
" That's how I'll lock both her and her shameless dad outside and I don't care where do they go to" She hissed and sat on the sofa, taking up the remote once again.

<< CLOVER'S MANSION>>
Clover arrived at his home and walked into his living room, dropping his bag on the floor before proceeding into his kitchen.
He met kai with a large broom and ignored him, opening the fridge.
He scanned in thoroughly but couldn't find his favourite alcohol.
" Where's the last brewery?" He asked.
" That's not the problem. I just saw a mommy roach while I was cooking" Kai said adjusting his lens.
Clover slammed the fridge close and walked up to him grumpily.
" Where's my drink, Kai!" He said sternly.
" Don't move any further!" Kai stopped him, obstructing him with his arm.
" What the heck are you doing?!" He asked.
"I saw a big roach. It would definitely terrify you when you see it"
" Come on, You're still afraid of roaches, bruh!" He spat and Kai looked at him quickly.
" Arrg!. How come It's in your head!!" He yelled.
" Arg!!. TAKE IT OFF!!" Clover screamed, dusting his head like a kid.
" Lemme help!" Kai said and picked the mop, hitting his head heavily, countless times until clover lost his balance.
After a while, He stopped cos clover had fainted flatly.
" Clover?" He waved but the unconscious guy wasn't responding.
" Oops. Sorry dude" He chuckled and picked the bottle of brewery, while going towards the stairs, muming a song.

Cami rushed down the stairs and arrived at Jordan's apartment.
She knocked twice, panting and panicking as her tears didn't fail to stop.
Flora was the one to get the door open.
" Good evening, Mrs flora" She greeted and rushed into the apartment quickly.
" Cami dear?. Are you alright?" Flora asked, closing back the door.
" My mom sent me out of the house and I have no where to go. It's pretty late" She said, sobbing inbetween words.
" Oh my God. Why would she do that!" Flora yelled.
" Please let me stay here for the night, She's in a really bad mood, I'll go apologise in the morning" She begged.
" Don't worry, she's my friend. I'll go speak with her" She said.
Cami remembered how her mom told her that she detested her new neighbour.
She immediately held flora's hand, stopping her from going further.
" Please don't take risk, She's really upset and she won't listen to you, please" She said, crying between each words.
Flora sighed and cupped her wet cheeks.
" Ohh, dear. It's okay. Stop crying. You're too pretty to cry this way, okay." She said and cami had to sniff hard.
" Can I stay here for the night?"
" Of course!. Why not?. We're more than families, darling. This is your home too" She said.
" Thank you!" Cami gratefully said as she formed a sweet pout on her lip.
A footstep was coming behind and Flora turned to see Jordan coming. Cami lowered her chin, feeling a bit nervous to look at him.
He was already dressed in his nightie and when he saw Camelia, his brow rose.
" Camelia?"
" She's staying here for the night. Take her towards the room upstairs"
" Did something happen?" He asked.
Cami looked at Flora who also faced Jordan.
" Just take her upstairs" She told him.
" Um...OK. Come with me" He said and cami held her bag as she followed him upstairs naively.
They didn't say a word until they got to the room. He opened up the door and she got in slowly.
" Do you need anything?" He asked, still standing at a spot.
" No. But. Thank you!" She smiled.
" it's my pleasure. I'm at the next room if you need anything" He said before closing the door.
Cami sat on the bed, looking around blatantly.
Her toes began to itch and she knew it was coming again.
" Oh no!" She bit her lips, dropping her bag on the floor.
She took out a pencil and broke it hard into many pieces, but it wasn't going away yet.
She pulled off her shoes.
" Arg!" She screamed, throwing it at the mirror.
" Help!. Help!!!" She screamed, tightening her fist to avoid breaking anything.
" No..No....No!!" Her hand aimed for the mirror and she crashed it, bruising her knuckles.
" Help!!" She screamed.
The door opened frantically and Jordan walked in along with Flora.
" Oh my God, Cami" She gasped.
" Arg!!" Cami tried to rush towards her but Jordan quickly caught her in his arms.
" Cami!!" He yelled, holding her shoulders while looking at her eyes vehemently.
She looked at his eyes and felt weak while collapsing on his chest slowly and his arms wrapped around her protectively.
<
Seven year old Jordan shouted as he ran towards her, embracing her in his arms and she held him tight.
" Are you okay?" He asked, rubbing her sweaty forehead.
" I almost killed our teacher. The principal is searching for my whereabout" She cried, huccuping badly.
He sighed and cupped her body in his arms, squeezing her tightly, while saying this last few word;
" Don't worry. I'm always here for you" He whispered softly.
<<<<<<
" Don't worry. I'm always here for you" He whispered softly.
He slowly stroke her hair and she fell asleep in his arms like his kid.
" She's asleep" He said, turning to face Flora.
" Oh dear, She should rest in the bed" She said.
Jordan pulled her petite body up in a bridal style before he placed her on the bed gently.
He covered her up with the duvet and stared at her face carefully. Such a sweet girl.
" What could be wrong?" Flora asked as she walked closer.
" I don't know either. Last time, she told me she was drunk" He said.
" Drunk?. That scream says more than being just drunk" She said.
He brought out a chair and sat down.
" You can leave. I'll watch over her"
" Are you sure. Won't you sleep as well" She asked worriedly.
" Don't worry about me. I'll be fine" He said with a reassuring, warm smile.
Flora sighed and kissed his head before leaving through the door gently.
Jordan picked Cami's hand and saw that her knuckles were seriously bleeding.
He drew out the closet and brought out some brown staples.
He treated her knuckles and covered it up gently, before tucking back her arm in bed.
He got on his feet and left the room thereafter.

"MELODY'S TASTY"
Momo placed the CLOSE sticker on the glass wall of the restaurant.
" Finally done for the day" She thought and sat down in one of the chairs.
She picked her phone.
" I've not spoken to that hottie" She thought and began to text him.
💬 Hey baby boo!
💬 Hey momo!
" Awwwwn. He replied my text" She gushed to herself before returning back to her screen.
💬 When are you fully resuming?
💬 Tomorrow, I guess.
💬 Okay, can't wait to see you and work with you!. It'd be marvellous.
💬 Can't say less either.
💬 Love, kisses 💋
💬 Goodnight 🧸
She placed her phone close to her face as she blushed more, until her nose turned red.
Nothing was more better than seeing Jordan again, and every other single days.
" Imagine cooking with an hottie. Dream come true for me!" She gushed happily.
°°°°°
8am<
Cami threw her leg down the bed and the first thing she saw was the broken mirror.
She stared at her knuckles cos she felt pain on that spot and she saw it was already covered with banadges.
" Oh no!" She palmed her face horribly. " I did it again, and in someone else home. I feel so awful" She scoffed.
She felt horrible lifting herself from the bed before picking her school bag to her chest.
She glanced at her body. Her school uniform was still on, she was also still on her flat shoes and Teddy socks.
She folded her lip into a pout.
" My day never goes well" She spat.
She left the room and got to the kitchen, meeting Jordan and Flora already awake.
" Cami dear. How was your night?" Flora asked, busy making dinner.
" A bit grumpy" She giggled weirdly.
" I hope you're fine now?" Jordan asked as cool as ever.
She sighed and sat down carefully.
" I'm sorry about last night. It wasn't supposed to happen"
" It's fine. You don't have to talk about it" He said and she felt even more nervous.
A large knock sounded at the door.
" Where's my daughter!!" A crazy voice stated and cami jumped into panic mode.
" My mom!. My mom!" She panicked.
" She's at the door?" Flora asked.
" I need a place to hide!" Cami said and Flora squeezed her into the corner of the fridge there even tho she was not slim.
" What's happening?" Jordan asked blankly.
Before they knew it, The door pushed open and Lexi stepped in rigorously.
She was also holding a gun, shocking the other two who were staring at her like puppet.
" Where's my daughter?!!!" She exclaimed and choked on her words, coughing really hard on her spot until she lost her balance.
