Rise(COMPLETED )

Chapter Twenty Two

This show is great" he said during a commercial. "Do you need anything? If you need to use the bathroom I can move for a minute" he asked looking up at her.

Mattie's stomach grumbled at that moment mortified she realized her bowl still sat untouched and her mouth was parched

"I could use a drink of my juice " She admitted shyly Motioning to his glass "Do you want more juice ?"

"I can get it. You didn't touch your food. You should eat some. It's really good." He said as he got up to refill their cups.

"You're supposed to be resting "

Mattie eyed her bowl nervous to eat in front of Jordan

"It won't hurt me to get us some juice" he snickered

Mattie wrinkled her nose in response "Guess not "

"Must not be as good as the last time you only ate one bowl " Mattie muttered picking up her own bowl

"The coughing fit upset my stomach a little. I'll eat more later" he told her as he handed her the full cup of juice.

"Thank you.Do you need the anti-nausea medicine the doctor ordered ?"Mattie replied after taking a sip

"No I think I'll be ok. It's not as bad as it was earlier."

Mattie instinctively moved so Jordan could get comfortable again realizing how quickly she missed his closeness when he got up

"If you do let  me know and I'll go grab it from the pharmacy bag " Mattie murmured absently

"I'll let you know." Jordan  replied  a he lay his head back in Mattie's lap.

"You better not let the other employees see you like this they'd think you were a wimp or something " Mattie teased as laid her hand back on Jordan's chest

Damn Mattie you need to stop  they'd think you were fuckin him if they saw this

"Fuck'em. My personal life is mine and they have no say in it. I can't help it if an amazing woman has stolen my heart and broke through the wall." He shrugged.

Mattie mutely nodded and then Jordan's words hit her

"Huh?"Mattie murmured pretending to stare at the tv to avoid Jordan's gaze

Jordan grinned and pretended to watch tv, waiting for Mattie  to say something

Their attention returned to the documentary as Mattie began to relax not feeling as awkward as she had when she caught Jordan watching her. Jordan seemed really content with her being there with him. As  the next commercial  came on Mattie began to play with Jordan's collar again as he readjusted his head on her lap. Absently Mattie's fingers trailed to Jordan's neck feeling his soft hair Mattie couldn't stop herself as she gently twirled one of his  black lock between her fingers

Jordan sighed contently feeling himself getting  sleepy. "That feels amazing" he whispered

Mattie continued her gentle motions until she heard Jordan's breath even out in sleep.

Watching him Mattie noticed the freckle on right side of his nose , the scar above his right eyebrow and the boyish appearance he had in sleep.

Fuck me I'm seriously falling for my boss

Wait did he say I broke down his wall ?

Those were the last thoughts Mattie before she too drifted off to sleep

Mattie jolted awake.

Why am I dreaming about my boss what the fuck is wrong with me

Searching around Mattie realized she wasn't in her apartment .
