26 Don’t Forget What You Had Promised (1/2)

'The pitiful flowers,' Sheena thought while she watched Raven picking on the petals of the flowers in their flower vase placed at the center table of the dining room.

”He hates me? He hates me not? He hates me? He hates me not?” Raven already picked and wasted three stems of flowers.

Sheena rolled her eyes at her and quickly took away the vase when she saw Raven was about to pick her red roses next. Today was Jordan's flight and Lou dropped by an hour ago to get Jordan's luggage and things.

Lou brought with him a bouquet or red roses and gave those to her defending that it will add more color on their flower vase.

He commented that theirs which were peach and cream lisianthus were too pale in color and do not fit the inside of the apartment at all. Sheena smiled secretly because she had her own interpretation on things like that.

”Stop it already. He does not hate you okay. He was just probably hurt and broken hearted right now but he will definitely not hate you.” Sheena declared in a confident tone.

Last night, she was startled with the sudden knocking of Raven at her door waking her up at almost midnight. Well, she did expect that sooner or later but not the rejection thing. She was sure Raven liked Jordan but Raven had her own reasons not to accept him for now.

Sheena saw Raven sighed deeply and cupped her face with both hands at side while her elbow stood as support on the table. You can see the slightly dark circles below her eyes.

Jordan did not come back at the apartment last night and Raven was restless all night because of that. She wanted to call or send him a message but she hesitated thinking that it would be best to let him be for now.

She had wanted to ask Lou before where Jordan was but chose not to. Raven once again sighed and stared at her mobile phone.

'Maybe I should call him or send a message instead but I don't know what to tell him,' she thought helplessly.

On the other hand, her door suddenly opened and Jordan appeared in front of her.

”Aren't you supposed to be in the airport already? Did you forget something?” Sheena asked him then she shifted her gaze to Raven who suddenly bit her lower lip and can't seemed to know how she would react.

”Yeah I just forgot something inside the room.” Jordan said and made a quick glance at Raven.

Raven was feeling tongue-tied. Their eyes met and he greeted her casually before going inside his room.

”Hey are you alright?” She heard Sheena asked her while she was waving her hand at her face to wake her up. She just nodded.

' Jordan seemed to be fine. She must be worried for nothing.' Raven thought inwardly.

”Should you at least escort him down to his car?” Sheena continued.

Raven once again nodded. She was so absent minded right now.

”Hey if you will act like that, then why did you turn him down on the first place? You actually looked like as someone who was feeling guilt or regret.”
