Sorry I hadn't updated in a while I was planning to in Christmas but I got caught up and things happen. But here it is! I will try to update next week. I'm back in school next week but I love you guys and I love reading your comments ❤️
It's been a month since my party and Jordan and I have been hanging out a lot.
No he didn't kill me or attempt to. Actually, after we left the club we went to get ice cream at a homey shop across the street, and got to know each other.
I found out many interesting things about him, he's a college student at Colombia University and majoring in Forensic Science.
A private investigator is his dream but to work for CSI is his goal.
"That's amazing! What made you choose that as your major?" I asked spooning my Carmel ice cream into my mouth.
He shrugged folding his hands on table.
"My dad—" he paused looking up at me.
"My biological dad died a few years ago working on a case. I guess he got too close and they killed him. Left his body in an alley somewhere" He finished clearing his throat.
"Oh my gosh Jordan I'm so sorry" I reached out and took his hand sympathetically.
"I just want to find the guy and lock him away for good" he rubbed his thumb across my knuckles.
"You will. I know you will" we exchanged smiles and changed the subject to me.
"So you sing huh? " he chuckled
"Yeah. Just a little not professionally though"
"Singing is singing professional or not"
I looked down at the glass bowl.
"Let me hear you sing a little something" he sat back in the booth we were both occupying.
Crossing his arms over his chest, he smirked at me.
"What? No" I blushed embarrassed
"Come on. It's just us nobody is paying attention" I looked around. He was right.
There were 6 people including us, it was around 3 am.
"Um-Uh-"
"Don't be nervous. It's just me" he said reassuringly leaning towards me.
"Fine" I sighed clearing my throat taking a sip of my water.
I sang the chorus of one of my favorite songs.
"I used to love him, he used to love me. Yeah, we go way way way way back. We love love love like that. Yeah, I still love him, and he still loves me. Yeah, we go way way way way back and love love love like that"
"Wow that was amazing. You have the voice of an angel"
I blushed hiding my face in the palm of my hands.
"Yourjustbeingnice" I mumbled
"I didn't catch a word of that" he laughed wholeheartedly.
"I said you're just being nice" I accused, looking down while fiddling with my fingers underneath the table.
"No I'm not. You have a very beautiful voice Melanie, don't let anyone tell you otherwise "
I smiled.

I was after school working on the musical once again.
And my tech guy, Deric, was not here yet.
"Okay does anyone know how to work a sound system"
"I do" someone said from behind me
"Great you can—" I turned around annoyed.
"—what are your doing here? This is for the cast and crew only" I rolled my eyes glancing down at my clipboard
"And I don't see your name on the list so I suggest you take your leave now" I turned from him walking away.
"Ms. Dawn asked me to work on the musical. She said you could use more hands." I sighed
"Fine you can put these up around the school." I handed him a box of flyers from the storage closet. The less I see him the better.
"Mel-"
I cut him off " We are working on the musical together that's it. That doesn't mean you have to talk to me. I give the orders go it!?"
"Yeah. I go it" He strode off, walking out the auditorium almost bumping into Dedric.
"Sorry I'm late" he yelled running down the aisle
"Thank god Dedric where have you been?"
"Our babysitter canceled..." I zoned out watching Porter sift through the box.
"Okay team! Get into your places. Scene two Act 3"

I got home around 6:30 later that day. Exhausted, I flung my bag in the corner of my room.
I landed face first on my bed letting out a loud painful groan.
Abruptly, my phone rang. I reached for it deep inside the back pocket of my jeans.
Without checking the caller ID, I answered in annoyance.
"Hello"
"Well hello to you too" the voice chuckled
"Sorry Jordan I'm just so tired" I whined flipping over on my back, staring up at the plain pink celling.
"I was going to ask you if you wanted to hang out but if you're not up for it-"
"Of course I'll come, no one's home and I'm a bit bored to be honest " I laughed sitting up.
"Okay great I'll pick you up in ten. Dress comfy" he instructed hanging up, before I could ask him where we were going.
Sighing, I got up to take a quick cold shower to wake myself up.
I headed to my closet picking out a pair of light washed boyfriend jeans and mustard yellow sleeves mock turtleneck.
Taking my hair out of its bun, I used my straighten brush to detangle my curls until it was silky straight and hanging down my back.
A car honked outside. Knowing it was Jordan, I quickly grabbed my phone, keys and a crossbody coach bag heading for door.
Jordan was leaning against his car.
Which was so beautiful I might add. It was a sleek black Ford Mustang.
"This is your car!" I squealed stepping closer to run my fingers across the hood.
"Yeah it's a 2017"
"You have a sports car! I love sports cars" I gushed not leaning too close, afraid I would scratch it.
"Get in and stop staring" he chuckled opening the door for me.
"Aww what a gentlemen" I joked as I got in.
He walked around, getting in the driver's side.
"You ready?" He asked starting her up.
Yes I said her. I just know it's a she, I can feel it!
"Lets gooooo" he drove off speeding down the street turning down the main road.
"Whooooohoooo" I yelled through the window.
He rolled the roof down letting in some breeze, a gush of wind whipped through my hair sending it many directions.
"This is amazing!" I yelled once more putting my arms above my head.
Jordan laughed stealing glances at me. He turned up the radio to an unknown channel that played very popular pop music.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see" He said driving into the sunset.
