Purple Romance

Chapter 161: I like Jordan 3

''Hey, part time''

Paige squirted her eyes, blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She looked up the stairs but the sun shining through the glass window blinded her eyes, making it difficult to see the figure that was coming down properly. But, still, the voice was undeniably Jordan's, so Paige thought she was probably hearing things. She shook her head.

''I am hallucinating right now? Why do I hear that bratty Royal Prince's voice?''

Paige asked herself thinking out loud.

''You're not. I'm right here'' Jordan said as he stood at the bottom of the stairs. He had one of his hands in his pocket and the other on the edge of the staircase ''I didn't think you would come so fast? Why? Are you out of money?'' Jordan teased her. After knowing her for a while, he was sure of something, Paige loved money a lot but that was her charm. She never pretended to be what she wasn't. She was always honest about her own situation and yet proud. She would never take free money from anyone. He knew that about her well enough. He wanted to compensate her for hurting her but he knew she would never accept his money; hence he was going to use this only way he knew to help her.

''You'' Paige said angrily and stood up abruptly to go to him and the glass fell, spilling on her orange trousers.

''Look at you, how can you be so careless?'' Jordan walked to her and said as he looked at her soiled trousers. Come with me'' Jordan held her hand and she asked.

''Wait. Is this your house?''

''If not, is it yours? Come with me and stop asking questions'' Jordan said pulling her along.

''Wait, where are we going?'' Paige asked and looked at him suspiciously. Jordan looked at her and chuckled saying.

''Wait, you are not thinking I am going to do something to you, are you?''

''My father warned me never to trust any man'' Paige said shyly and pursed her lips.

''What? I hope you remember those words when you are interacting with that guy who looks like a unicorn'' Jordan said and let her hand go.

''Unicorn? Are you referring to Anthony or Joel?'' Paige asked and folded her arms around her chest. The butler stood at a distance watching their bantering interestingly.

''Both of them. They are all dangerous men, you should watch out for'' Jordan said and Paige laughed sarcastically.

''Are you sure, because I beg to defy. I think you are the most dangerous man among the three of you''

''What? Look here, young lady. I am a gentleman. I am a pure harmless man'' Jordan said and saw the butler stifling a laugh. He turned to Paige and held her hand again saying ''follow me'' Paige followed him and they entered a guest room.

The butler went to the hall to clean up the mess with a smile. He was right to treat this lady well. She could possibly be his new Madam of the house with the way they are interacting. The butler was a man of age and wisdom. He was certain that with the way they were behaving casually to each other, they were going to fall for each other sooner or later without even realising it.

Jordan opened the closet and removed a dress from it and threw it at her saying ''change into this'' Jordan looked at the dress and Paige's height adding ''I don't know whether it will even fit or now. You are a little short and plump''

''Did you call me here to insult me?''

Paige asked as she looked at the green flowery dress in her hands.

''No, I didn't say it in a demeaning way. I was just saying that, you look'' Jordan paused and looked at her upper part meaningfully and Paige covered her chest with the dress and glared at him.

''Pervert, get out'' Paige said to him.

''I was only stating the fact'' Jordan scratched his head and apologised ''I'm sorry''

''Are you going to watch me change? Get out already'' Paige told him and he laughed.

''What is there to see?'' he asked and Paige pushed him out of the room and locked it.

''Shameless. What is wrong with him lately?''

...

Paige walked down to the hall in the green flowery dress that stopped at her knees. Jordan turned and saw her. his eyes widened and he was a bit surprised. He suddenly felt thankful that Paige always wore trousers and blouses to school. He could only imagine what kind of chaos she would cause by wearing dresses to school. He really underestimated her figure. She looked really beautiful in that dress as if it was bought for her. He simply couldn't take his eyes off her.

Under Jordan's scrutiny, Paige suddenly felt hot and flushed. She attempted to pull the dress further down but it was not possible because it wasn't made that way. She looked at Jordan and lowered her gaze. Her heartbeat quickening.

''Is there another dress that I can change into? I don't feel comfortable in this'' Paige said to Jordan and he shook his head and stood up. He placed the wine glass in his hand down and walked towards her.

''I feel comfortable watching you. Come with me'' Jordan said and flashed a flirtatious smile at her and her face turned crimson red.

''This is the washing machine; I believe you know how to operate it already'' Jordan said to her once they went into the laundry room.

''Yes, I do'' Paige answered and looked at him meeting his gaze. Both of them suddenly felt awkward around each other and silence took over.

''Make sure, you do a good job'' Jordan said, attempting at making their situation less awkward even though he knew he was far from being okay down there after seeing her in that dress. He felt a certain part of his body reacting rather fast and he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

''I don't do lazy work you know. I have a lot of recommendations for been the best'' Paige said proudly unaware of the struggle Jordan was going through internally.

''If you need anything call me'' Jordan said and turned to go.

''Washing powder'' Paige asked.

''On the top shelf'' Jordan pointed at the top shelf and Paige turned to picked it up.

''Why do you put things so high?'' Paige asked and stretched her hand, lifting her feet in the process to pick the washing powder and Jordan's mind went blank for a moment. He looked at her fair thighs that were on full display and felt his mind going numb. He bit his lips and cursed under his breathe. He blamed himself for calling her to come in the first place, for giving her such a dress to change in and for placing the powder on the top shelf. His gaze darkened and he shook his head to clear his mind.

''I can't reach, Jordan'' Paige said and suddenly felt a rush of humanly scent sweep through her nose and her body stiffened. Her hand froze in the air as he felt Jordan's body behind her. she watched as he took out the washing powder before stepping aside and she heard his hoarse voice behind her.

''You should grow taller'' Jordan said and placed the washing powder on the table and she turned to look at him. His Adams apple moved up and down as he stared at her face and she hiccupped.

''I'm notshort'' Paige said and hiccupped again.

''What is with the hiccups? This isn't the first time. You hiccupped during the time I was trying to help you with your seat belt the other day'' Jordan said.

''Is none of your business. Go out'' Paige said and walked to the washing machine, her back turned to him.

''I'm going'' Jordan said and went out. Paige's legs weakened and she held the machine for support, leaning against it. she touched her racing heart and her face flushed.

''What is wrong with me?''

At the door, Jordan stood aside and heaved a sigh of relieve. He almost let his desires take over him. This was dangerous. He always boaster of having a good self-control but lately, in front of Paige, it was all for naught. He shook his head and went to the hall.

Half an hout later, Paige finished the laundry and looked at the glass window and murmured ''dad was right, is raining''

She went to the hall and saw Jordan sleeping on the sofa. Paige went closer and bent down, she squatted in front of him and was tempted to touch his hair that covered his forehead.

''He looks so good looking when he is not talking. So, this is your sleeping face? He looks more relaxed and carefree when he is asleep. He only knows how to tease me'' Paige said and smiled. She felt cold and touched her shoulders ''the air condition must be on. Is he not feeling cold?'' Paige asked herself.''How can you fall asleep in the hall, when you have a room? What if you come down with a cold?''
