Chapter 23: Chapter 23
At 6 pm I was still at work working.
That was one hour above my closing time...
I had 20 miscalls from Elizabeth. I didn't know what to tell her. She was counting one to organize her wedding shower that was to be in 2hours.
I entrusted every into Izzy's hand. She wasn't good at such though, there was only Little to do. So I sent someone to help her while I was getting done with work. But Elizabeth was angry thou.
Elizabeth's sister's inlaw where to attained the bridal shower. Eliza was mad about it. Here sisters inlaw were talkative and always made Elizabeth feel not at ease.

{Phone call}.

"Wow the guy you send is really good we are done. We reserved a nice place at a night club and we went to male strippers and we hired one only but he told me that. you said we should hire 3. That's too much Grace. You know Elizabeth doesn't like such. I am counting on you to be on time."
Izzy explained.
"Thank you very much!."
I answered.
"Can you imagine that Elizabeth's mother-in-law insisted on taking in the bridal shower."
Izzy whispered.
"hahaha, that's weird."
It was really fun.
"Really weird. That woman is so bizarre at the time. I am happy to know that after the wedding Elizabeth will relocate to a house with her husband. They won't stay at his parent's place. I don't think Eliza would have been able to deal with that woman and her daughters. Hurry and come over she needs you around."
Izzy explained again.
"That true. Anyway, I have to leave. Let me round up with all these and rush home."
I answered.
"Take care bye!."
She offed.
Izzy hurried to Elizabeth.
All the family was gathered at Elizabeth's place.
Elizabeth's mother and her husband's mother were not understanding each other. Both were authoritative and dictators... Both wanted everything to be according to their wishes. That couldn't be possible.
And that stressed Elizabeth more.
.
.
I finish and submitted all.
And I rushed home to get ready.
As I reached home Jordan was there waiting on me at my door.
" I have been calling you all day where have you been. I hate your childish attitudes. We are grown-ups, so let's behave as such. You are fully aware of the fact that we are flirting. Why do you get this so much emotional?. Anyway, I got no time. I have to rush to a party."
Explained.
As I opened the door he followed me in.
"You see. That's my problem with you. Why don't you give me a chance to change things?. We can make this relationship serious and for that, I need your approval. I hate when you see me just as a piece of meat that you can savor at any time. I am not a toy Grace."
Explained as nicely.
"Jordan, I have to get ready for this party. I have to be there on time. Let me take a quick shower. We will chat about all this later."
I said to him.
I undressed and enter the shower.
He stood in the living room.
"This is what you always say but you never consider me."
He answered back.
"What do you want to say right now!."
I asked.
.
.
He didn't answer, places became calm.
.
.
"Nothing, just love me as I do."
He suddenly appears under the shower and he passionately whispered in my ears.
I felt the worth of his naked body all over my cold wet body as he caressed me.
He slowly rolled me over. His eyes were straight into mine and he gripped my lips with his. We bussed for long.
"Stop!. Jordan!. I don't have to be late. My friends are waiting for me and I have to be there on time. Please don't do this!."
I explained.
I pushed him off.
I immediately got out of the shower to start dressing.
"Grace, you won't have to miss this party. It won't even last for an hour, I will be fast about it."
He seriously explained.
"You must be crazy!. I thought I was."
I exclaimed.
"Grace, I want you now!."
Jordan yelled.
He forced me.
He shoved me into the bed.
"Jordan leave me. I said no. I have to go!."
I yelled back.
He behaved like he never heard what I said. I kept on shouting.
He gave me a slap on my face and he removed my towel.
This was the most embarrassing moment in my life. I felt so weak and nothing of I strong woman I used to be.
I felt him into me. It was hurting and I couldn't delude. I began to cry.
"Grace, I am really sorry. I did mean to hurt you. I love you so much that I can't control my feelings. I get mad any time I see you."
I cried so loud that he had to stop.
"You already got what you wanted. Just when I began to start feeling something for you. But no!... You had to spoil everything!... Leave my house now!. I don't ever want to see you."
I yelled aloud.
"I am really sorry Grace. I didn't mean to hurt you."
He tried to explain.
It's like he got back to his sense. I didn't want to hear anything from him. He was so disgusting.
"Leave my house beast. You are evil Jordan."
I yelled and threw him out of my house.
I locked the door behind him and I felt back on the floor, I cried like a newborn.
It was going close to two hours that I had spent home. It was time and the party had already started. My phone kept on the ringing.
"I don't think I will be able to make it again."
I said to myself.
I lied flat on the floor naked. I couldn't stop crying. I took a mirror and looked at myself. His fingerprint was all over my jaw.
I got really furious. I can't explain what happened.
l instantly got up to my bedroom. I took a good foundation to hide all the blotches.
"But what if I don't go. Elizabeth will never forgive me. I can't do this to her just because of an idiot, of a man that I can get any time at the club."
I dressed up and I left.
I never loved to feel vulnerable.
I went out of my house but I was still ashamed of myself. It was like any person looking at me knew what happened.
