Purple Romance

''No, I came to show you something. Come with me'' he took her hand and they went behind the car to the booth. Paige looked at him curiously. The opening of the booth made her turn and what she saw made her gasped. She stared at the opened booth that had been decorated with dimmed pink lightning with a lot of pictures of them together in his house. It was from the day she went as a laundry girl. There was something else that caught her eyes, a handwritten note on top of a cinnamon cake. Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at it and turned Jordan.

''You… when did you prepare all of this?'' Paige asked.

''Would you believe me if I told you I prepared this since morning. I'm sorry I walked out on you without explaining anything. I was quite flustered by that woman's sudden appearance'' Paige shook her head and hugged him.

''I was scared. I was so afraid that you wouldn't come back to me'' Paige said as she hugged him tight.

''Silly girl, how could I not come back to you? Do you think it was easy making you fall for me? I could never leave you now, even if I want to. Because I love you so much'' Jordan held her hands.

''You intentionally made me fall in love with you?'' Paige asked him and he nodded his head with a sly smile.

''Since the very day I set my eyes on you, that time at the wedding. You had my attention with the way you carried yourself. I was curious about you, then, I started to like you''

Paige blushed and her ears turned red. She looked at the cake ''can I eat that? I was so occupied with how to confess my feelings to you, I forgot to eat'' Paige said shyly.

''I brought it for you. Let me cut it for you'' Jordan picked a small knife and a plate from the side of the cake and cut a small piece for her. They pushed the flowers further into the booth and sat at the edge with the cake beside her.

''How did you get all those pictures and the cake? How did you know cinnamon cake is my favourite?''

''You are the woman I want; how can I not know what you like?''

''This taste so great'' Paige said as she ate the slice he gave her.

''Can I taste some of that? I am quite hungry too'' Jordan said as he looked at her lips that was smeared at one side with the icing.

''Yes, let me get you some'' Paige said and turned to cut the cake by her side.

''Paige'' Jordan mentioned her name softly as he bit her ear making her shudder and stiffen. His hand touched her hand making her shudder again. He was glad he wasn't the only one feeling that way.

Paige's fingers brushed through the icing on the cake as her senses heightened along with the quickening of her own heartbeat. She turned slowly to looked at him. Her face turned red and subconsciously, she bit her lips and he moaned before wrapping his two hands around her head, pulling her in for a kiss. Because she just had a cinnamon cake, Jordan could taste it from her mouth. He deepened the kiss as her body quivered at his touch. She let out a soft moan and held unto his blazer tightly, the icing on her fingers smeared on his blazer as she clumsily responded with no experience.

Jordan pulled her up and her body shivered under his embrace, as he let go for a moment for her to catch her breath. They looked at each other, as they both panted for breath.

''You have no idea how much I love you Paige'' Jordan said and ran his hand through her hair before leaning in to kiss her again. She closed her eyes and held unto him tightly as he lifted her up, she wrapped her legs around him and he placed her and closed the booth before putting her on top, all the while still kissing her.

….

A while later, the kiss came to a stop and they stay in the same position with Paige still sitting on top of the booth and Jordan standing between her legs. He hugged her and they burst into laughter.

''Is really, really late now'' Paige said shyly.

''Yes, you should go inside and rest''

''Then, what are we now?''

''We've held hands. We've kissed. What do you think we are now?'' Jordan asked.

''Couple?''

''Unless you have another word for us?''

''I don't have another word for us'' Paige said shyly.

''Okay, you should go and rest. Unless you want to go home with me'' Jordan said and Paige hurriedly got down from the car.

''The cake was ruined by you. You still owe me one'' Paige said and ran inside. Jordan chuckled and shook his head.

.....

Jordan arrived home in high spirits and a good mood. He went towards his room and saw Jessi at his door. She was sitting in her wheelchair.

''Jessi, is late. Why are you still awake?'' he asked worriedly and squatted in front of her.

''How could I go to bed when my brother isn't in yet?'' Jessi said and smiled.

''Do you care about me that much?''

''You seem to be in a good mood. I was worried for nothing'' Jessi said to him.

''I am indeed in a pretty good mood''

''Mira called me. She told me about Yvonne. I was worried about you''

''What were you worried about? I am fine, no need to trouble your little heart because of this big brother''

''Yes, yes, big brother. I won't care about you anymore. But, what are you going to do now that she is back and tomorrow is also that day. Do you think she came because it's tomorrow?''

''Don't worry. I won't let her disrupt our lives'' Jordan assured Jessi.

''I trust you, elder brother''

''Go to bed'' Jordan held her wheelchair, sending her to her room.

''Jordan, you don't have to accommodate me all the time. You should get a girlfriend and think about settling down' Jessi said.

''Look who is trying to lecture me? Jessi, it seems you are the elder and I am the junior now?''

''I didn't mean it that way. I just don't want you to spend all your time on me. I can take care of myself now''

''I know, don't worry I already have a girlfriend'' Jordan said and Jessi looked at him curiously.

''Really? Since when?''

''Since today, this evening to be specific. I just came from making her my girlfriend'' Jordan said proudly.

''Whoa. My brother is indeed the best. When can I meet her? No, when are you getting married then?''

''Jessi, calm down. You are ahead of yourself. We just started dating today. If I were to mention marriage, I will scare her away. I want to take it slow and let her get to know me very well and accept me. We are just dating for now''

''Oh. We can't scare her'' Jessi said and Jordan chuckled.

''Yes, we can't. We should take things slow''

...…

Next day at school

''Whoa, Paige you have finally been reborn. How does it feel now that you've had your first kiss?'' Carlien asked and Paige's ears turned red and she blushed.

''It was perfect. It was everything I had dreamt of. Wait… why am I telling you the details? If you want to know, why don't you fall in love and find out?'' Paige said and Carlien chuckled and looked at her with raised brows.

''Wow, who knew innocent Paige could also be savage when she is in love? I don't think I can ever fall in love in this life'' Carlien said as they walked out of the lecture hall.

''Why?''

''My brain has been washed by the Korean, Japanese and Chinese dramas I've been watching. If I get a boyfriend, he has to live up to those oppas or there is not guarantee that relationship will last. My standards have been apt by oppas like Park Seo Joon and Kim Soo-Hyun. I can't be treated less than how they treat their women, especially Kim Jae Wook in 'Her Private Life' and 'Lost Romance' featuring Marcus Chang, those dramas really made me want to fall in love with an overbearing and Naughty CEO who will take me on a fantasy ride''

Paige folded her arms and stared at her best friend who really seemed like she was in a fantasy world while describing the actors. She sighed and shook her head.

''Snap out of it, Carly'' Paige said and flicked Carlien's forehead and she screamed.

''Ahh, it hurts'' Carlien frowned.

''I did it because I know it will hurt. Get a grip on yourself, Carly. Those dramas are really getting into your head. those people are just acting. You don't even know what they are in real life. Fantasy romance my foot''
