Maybe Ever After

Chapter Thirteen

Nova

We were all seated in Jordan's living room, never did it occur to me that the jerk was so rich.

Looking around, I realised one thing, even though my dad is gone, I have people who love me.

It never occurred to my mum to call me once, I'm sure she will have landed somewhere, sometimes, I just hope I have a mother like that of everyone else.

Trish and Lois were cracking dry jokes and laughing like idiots while I only wallowed in my thoughts.

I was also hungry but I can't comlain since he prepared me food and I refused it.

"I think we should get going" I said out of nowhere, considering the surprised faces thrown at me, the girls weren't ready to leave.

"Calm down babe, it's still early" Trish replied me rolling her eyes at me, seriously?

"That is true, besides, there is food for everyone" Jordan announced, everyone except Honey and I cooed at the mention of food. She had been quite silent for a while and I was thinking it had to do with her mother's wedding.

I watched as my two other friends went off with the boys, I let out heavy sigh I was not aware I was holding, they were happily chatting and laughing but I just can't bring myself to.

"NL, come on" Jordan called on me, coming back to pull me with him. "Honey, food" he told her and she just nodded, sluggishly getting up.

He had his hand on both of my shoulder and whispered in my ear "are you okay?"

I nodded and went with him to the dinning, only to get Miley winking at me.

"You got dust in your eyes Miley?" She rolled her eyes at me in response, I know right, I can be super annoying sometimes.

"Ok so, are you like the coolest guy in school?" Trish asked Lois who had been flaunting all evening about his looks.

"Yes, all the girls flock around me" he replied spreading his arms.

"I don't think so, they think that should be Jordan" Andrew said breaking all of his lies, Trish and Miley gave Jordan a quick look and nodded.

"He has the looks" Miley commented

"Yeah but I know how to deal with ladies, make them trip" Andrew said getting 'hmmm' from the girls.

I tapped Honey beside me to know if she was fine and she slowly nodded even though I knew she was lying.

"Yes Tara, that girl, she would not stop bothering Jordan" Lois said with an irritated face. Everyone hates Tara.

Honey's mood worsened at the mention of and I knew just what her problem was.

The food came, the same lady who brought mine earlier, served steaks alongside a younger lady.

The other lady was busy trying to place the food in front of Andrew but heaven knows what he was doing to her that made her dropped the food, plate shattering on the floor. Miley jumped from beside them and Jordan's face? This lady better disappear into the ground, like right now.

"Really Mel? Why are you two always embarrassing me? Now you just broke my mum's plate, how many times have I warned you not to ever serve food with that plate?" Jordan yelled at the poor maid who was shivering where she stood.

"It's just fine man, I'm partly at fault here and really the plate can be replaced" Andrew defended Mel but that was not enough to calm him.

"I don't see how you at fault here, they are never careful! Always...."
