Chapter 12

"Hey there Cece." Came a familiar voice from behind me.

I turned around to see Jordan walking towards me. "Hey," I replied.

"Where are you heading?" He asked me.

"Home," I answered.

"Are you sure you don't want to hang out with us for awhile?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to head on home."

"Want me to give you a ride?"

"Oh no it's fine."

"I insist."

"Really Jordan, it's okay."

"Why would I let a pretty lady like you walk home by yourself? Here let me carry your bag." he reached over and took my bag from me. I didn't object.

The whole way home, my mind was racing. Trying to figure out ways to get ride of him quickly.

Once we reached my home, "Mind if I come in for a while?" Those were the words I had been dreading the whole time.

I bit my lip, "That's not a good idea."

"Why is that?"

Think of a lie! He has to get out of here before Oliver get's here! My step father doesn't like having people over."

"Oh, are you sure?"

"Yeah I am sure, look I better go before he get's mad."

"Okay, I will see you tomorrow then."

I nodded vigorously. "Yes, see you tomorrow Jordan."

And that's when Jordan did something I didn't expect. He picked up my hand and kissed it softly. "Bye," he whispered and walked away.

I stood there and stared at him with eyes wide open. Did that really just happen?

As soon as Jordan was out of site, Oliver's truck came around the corner. I climbed into his car and sighed from relief.

"What?" Oliver asked.

"Jordan decided to walk me home. Then he wanted to go inside, it was so hard to get ride of him."

Oliver chuckled,"When we get to the spot, you really have to tell me why he doesn't want us two hanging out."

I nodded in agreement.
