25 You Will End Up To No One But Only Me (1/2)

'Let me help you remember.' The words keep popping on Raven's head. Her eyes were blinking like flickering lights with an electrical problem.

Jordan's face was so close on hers. She can feel the rapid thumping of her own heart. She can clearly see the desire on his eyes. She was about to say something but Jordan already sealed her mouth.

He was gently kissing her. Raven closed her eyes when things suddenly became blurry. She just let Jordan do his way with her lips. He was probing deeper, exploring her inner mouth searching for her tongue to meet his.

He suddenly left her lips to nibble her ear while he whispered, ”Make sure that you remember this.”

Then he began to kiss her on the neck biting her and sucking. Raven was going nuts with the sensation she was feeling.

Raven was distracted with the ringing of her mobile phone that made her opened her eyes. She must come back to her senses. She quickly pushed Jordan away from her.

She saw him creased his forehead. His dazed eyes were still locked at hers.

Raven cleared her throat, slightly bowed her head down and murmured, ”I'm sorry if I messed up last night.”

Jordan held her shoulders while making her face him and spoke, ”this has nothing to do about last night. I've wanted to tell you this for a long time now. Raven, I like you as a woman. I really do.”

Raven was getting what Jordan was saying but she was still in shock hearing those words from him.

”Actually I lo…”

Raven heard Jordan was about to say more but panic struck her and she quickly stopped him with her palm.

”Stop! Don't continue please…”she begged as she looked directly to his eyes.

”I am really sorry Jordan. I don't want something like that. I… prefer that we maintain our relationship like before, as a family. If we became lovers and things does not work out for us along the run… I … I …” Raven was stammering while she uttered the words.

Then she continued, ”I don't want to lose another family.”

Yes Raven was scared to fail. If everything became a mess she may jeopardize even the relationship with her father. And she was not willing to take that risk.

”I'm...”she wanted to explain to Jordan but she can't find the words.

”Enough already...” Jordan said in a calm tone. Then he called Lou to pick them up.

Raven felt relieved somehow that Jordan no longer pushed the matter. She was really not ready to be in a relationship especially with Jordan.

She then saw Jordan at her side opened one bottle of water, drank it straight in one go and squeezed it as soon as drained, creating a crisp sound.
