Purple Romance

Chapter 162: I Like Jordan 4

''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?''

Paige stood up and looked around. She heard subtle noises in the kitchen and went there. She stood at the door and saw an elderly woman and the butler chatting. The chatting ceased once they saw her and the butler went to her.

''Miss, is anything the matter?'' the butler asked.

''No, not really. The thing is, Jordan, I mean the young Master is sleeping on the sofa and is raining. So, I thought he might be feeling cold. The air condition is also on'' Paige said awkwardly.

''Should I get a blanket from the young Master's room for you?'' the butler caught on fast and asked. Paige blushed and smiled.

''Don't misunderstand, I was just worried that your young Master might catch a cold. Since he is the one to pay me. I am doing this because I still have to take my payment from him'' Paige said and the elderly woman and the butler stifled their laughter.

''Yes, don't worry. I won't misunderstand. You are just doing it because he still hasn't paid you yet. Yes, I understand'' the butler said and Paige felt she been mocked but couldn't say anything. She bowed to the elderly woman who had an amused look on her face and went away with the butler.

''She is a cute one'' the elder woman said to herself.

At the hall, the butler walked down from the stairs and gave a purple blanket to Paige.

''Here you go, Miss''

''Thanks''

''I will be in the kitchen. Feel free to look for me if you need anything'' the butler said and Paige nodded. She went closer to Jordan after the butler had left. She spread the blanket over his tall figure before she sat crossed legged and stared at his face. She brushed off his bangs gently and smiled. After watching him sleep for a while, she also fell asleep, she placed her head by his head and closed her eyes.

..

An hour later, Jordan felt someone's breathe brushing through his face and opened his eyes. He saw Paige's face very closer to himself and stared wide-eyed surprised. He looked at her hand that was on his waist and smiled, feeling content.

''This snail sure knows how to sleep anywhere? She has guts'' Jordan murmured and tried to prey her hand gently back on the sofa as he sat up. The butler walked to him and spoke. ''Young Master, lunch is ready'' the butler said and Jordan placed his hand on his mouth.

''Sssshhhh, she is sleeping'' Jordan said to the butler and he nodded apologetically.

''Sorry. I will be in the kitchen with Mama Jane if you need me'' the butler said and went away. Jordan nodded his head and stood up. He took the blanket to cover Paige up when she suddenly opened her eyes, she stared dreamily at him and Jordan smiled saying.

'Did I wake you up?'' Paige came back to her senses and stood up, falling back because her knees had weakened. Jordan held her immediately and they looked at each other.

''How long did I sleep?'' Paige asked and stepped aside.

''An hour, I think. Is 15:30PM now'' Jordan said and pointed at the wall clock.

''I should go now'' Paige said to him.

''What? Why are you leaving as soon as you woke up?'' Jordan asked a little displeased.

''I promised Carly that I would go and help her at the store. Her mother has a store around the neighbourhood'' Paige explained.

''Eat before you go then''

''No, I will be late''

''I don't want to eat alone'' Jordan said and Paige looked at him, feeling the sadness in his voice.

''I will tell Mama Jane to serve the food'' Jordan said again, leaving her no room for rejection.

''Okay, then, I will go and fold the clothes. Call me when is ready'' Paige said to him and went to the laundry room.

Jordan looked at her back view before going to the kitchen. He found the butler and Mama Jane, the woman in charge of cooking in the kitchen.

''Uncle Zac, are you the one who covered me with the blanket?'' Jordan asked as he entered inside the kitchen.

''No, young Master. It is the young lady. she asked for it and covered you with it'' the butler said.

''She is a cute and shy one. I like her for you Jordan'' Mama Jane said and Jordan chuckled.

''She will eat here before she goes'' Jordan said to Mama Jane.

''Sure thing'' Mama Jane said and Jordan smiled before he went out.

Laundry room.

Paige folded the last shirt in the basket and turned, she saw Jordan standing by the door and said to him ''you almost scared me''

''Why? Were you doing something bad?'' Jordan asked and walked in.

''Here, I'm done. Your cost is just $150 only'' Paige said and Jordan shook his head.

''I will pay you, young Miss. What kind of man do you take me for?''

''A man who bullies weak women?'' Paige said questionably and he chuckled.

''Who is a weak woman? You, Paige Payin? I highly doubt that'' Jordan said and walked closer to her and she blushed.

''What are you trying to do?'' Paige asked as she stepped back hitting her back against the machine.

''I'm taking a good look at you'' Jordan said and leaned closer to look at her face.

''I you should maintained an appropriate distance. I am here as a worker'' Paige said nervously and Jordan chuckled.

''Paige, what were you thinking? There is something on your eyelids that I want to take away before it falls into your eyes'' Jordan said and removed the small speck of cloth thread from her eyelids and showed it to her ''here, what exactly were you thinking? You weren't having X-rated thoughts, were you?''

''You'' Paige raised her hand to hit him and he caught it and placed it on his chest and said to her.

''But, I don't mind you having such thoughts about me, Paige Payin'' Paige blushed and bit her lips and his gazed followed her. ''Paige, can you stop biting your lips like that? I don't have the confidence that I won't be the one doing the biting if you repeat it again'' Paige blushed and subconsciously bit her lips again.

''I clearly warned you not to do that again, now you are going to pay the price for it'' Jordan said and bent down to kiss her when they heard a voice at the door and turned.

''Jordan!!!''Mirabel screamed out and walked haughtily into the laundry room. ''You two, what were you two going to do just now?'' she asked and Jordan glared at her angrily.

Paige pushed Jordan aside saying ''I was just about leaving. Excuse me'' Paige said and went to the hall and took her bag, running out of the mansion.

''Jordan. Are you in a trance or something? You know what would have happened if I didn't come in, right? You almost kissed her Jordan'' Mirabel said and stepped back as Jordan's gaze became frighteningly cold and chilling.

''Yes, I was going to, but you destroyed my chances'' Jordan said.

''Jordan, how could you bring that woman to your house?'' Mirabel asked.

''Because this is my house and she is the woman I am interested in. What are you doing here without calling me first?'' Jordan asked.

''The party coming off tomorrow. I came to remind you. Your father called my mum. We are supposed to make an appearance there as a couple'' Mirabel said proudly and Jordan chuckled.

''Couple? When was I ever a couple with you. Mira, I find your actions irritating lately. You are beginning to annoy me with this couple thing. How many times do I have to tell you I am not interested in you?'' Jordan said bluntly and Mirabel's eyes turned teary.

''Jordan, how could you talk like this to me? Do you like that girl that much?'' she asked.

''What do you think?'' he didn't say yes, neither did he say no.

''You almost kissed her. What about Yvonne? Have you finally forgotten about her or are you just using her to forget about Yvonne because their character seems almost the same?''

''Mirabel, don't you dare mention that name in my presence again. Her name is Paige and she is different from Yvonne. She is not a replacement of anyone. Get that clear and don't go running your mouth anywhere and anyhow. I will not forgive you if you dare to say this in front of Paige''

''Jordan, is that how low you think about me?''

''You already stoop low the moment you mentioned Yvonne, knowing very well how I feel about her. I will go to the party with you tomorrow but that ends it. I will only talk to you if you behave like a proper lady to Paige. When you are done, use the door'' Jordan said, sparing her no chance to talk as he went up to his room.

''Jordan?'' Mirabel wiped the tears from her face and left hurriedly.
