Jordyn’s POV
Friday
I woke up from my phone ringing knowing it’s no one but Roscoe. As much as I enjoy seeing Selene every morning to give her, her black coffee and whatever sandwich she’s craving that day, I value my sleep just like I tell my students. “Ciao.” I answer still half asleep.
“Hey I just called to warn you that you don’t have to come in today. Ian actually came on time today.” Thank god.
“Oh ok good. I’m glad. I wouldn’t have minded coming but thanks for the heads up. Ci vediamo dopo.” I say he says it back and we hang up. I read the time on my phone at it say 6:00 I groan knowing I have to get up at 6:45 to get ready. I close my eyes and next thing I know, Jason is walking in my room searching for my cologne that smells like sandalwood. It’s his favorite but he refuses to take it because it’s my most expensive bottle of cologne. I don’t ever wear it but I haven’t given it to him since him coming in tells me he’s going to the gym which also means it’s 6:40. I check my phone and bingo it just tuned 6:41 once he walks out after telling me he’s heading out.
I get up and brush my teeth and wash my face. I go to my closet and put on my red nike sweatsuit with a hoodie that says just do it in black letters and my air forces. I ruffle my hair to look messy purposeful instead of bed like hair. So this is what it’s like to be a man. I get done getting ready and grab the protein shake Jason made for me and head to go to the school.
I make it at 7:20 parking by my undesignated parking spot by Selenes car. I grab my duffel and head inside. I do my daily good mornings to the principal and his secretary and then to the lunch ladies as I make my way to the gym to set up for the day. Fridays I don’t make a plan. I just let them do whatever while I catch up on my reading. When I get to the gym door, I pause when I see the light on in Selenes office. I walk up and knock softly to announce my presence. “Yes?” She answers.
I walk in and send her a smile as I see her sitting at her desk with those glasses that make my skin shiver. She’s wearing a red blouse but I can’t tell what she’s wearing on her bottoms but I know her ass looks great in them. “Where were you this morning ?” She ask. I forgot I didn’t go in to the cafe.,
I smirk at her looking for me. “You missed ‘me?” I ask teasing leaning against the door frame. I see her eyes scanning me. She checks me out alot and I only do it when she does it so she doesn’t catch me. She’s a magnificent woman. Her beauty is out of this world inside and out.
She chuckles and leans back crossing her legs revealing she’s wear a white pencil skirt that slides up her thigh when she crossed it. I swallow hard and go back to her face that shows she caught me looking at her. “Missed you? Hm? I guess you can say i was looking forward to seeing you since I’ve been seeing you all week. But I did forget you don’t actually work there, so.” She says.
“The guy who’s always late, decided to show up so Roscoe didn’t need me.” I say shrugging.
She nods. “Well it’s good to see you now rather than later.” She says.
I want to ask her out and I’m confident she’ll say yes but I have to end things with Morgan so there’s no other variables. “Right. Well I’ll let you go. See you for lunch.” I say and I walk out. I get to my office in the gym and call Morgan. She works as a nurse at the hospital but she’s usually on break at this time. She answers with a high ‘baby!’ making me cringe. “Uh hey Morgan. Look we need to talk.”
“That’s never good.” She says.
“Look you and I both know, I’ll never trust you fully again for us to get back together. I tried but I can’t. It’s too fresh.”
I hear her sigh. “I understand Jordyn. Again I’m sorry. It was a mistake that I’m regretting every day that I can’t call you mine. But I understand.”
“We’re still best friends Morgs. That’s something I don’t want to lose.” I say honestly.
“Yeah I know Jordyn. I don’t want to lose it either but I need to get over you to be just your friend again. I don’t want to mess that up too.” She says.
I nod but realize she can’t see me. “Yeah I get that. Look I’ll let you go, but I still love you Morgs.” I say.
“Yeah I love you too. Bye.” And then she hangs up.
I sigh and run my hair through my hair scratching my scalp to calm my nerves. 8:00 hits and students start filing into the gym before the bell rings. I blow my whistle getting their attention. “Alright it’s friday! Do whatever but no drugs, fighting, bullying and especially no bothering me unless you’re dying!” I say and they all do whatever. I go back in my office with my door open just so I’m aware of what’s going on and read my book.
That goes for every period but after lunch I have my seniors and they usually like to actively do stuff since it’s the last period of the day on a Friday. Mason, the star basketball player and misguided youth, walks in and immediately walks up to me. They always send him to ask to play basketball because they know it’s my favorite sport. “Yo coach.” He calls.
“What’s up, Mr. Cross?” I reply.
“Can we please play basketball? They guys and I want to work on our handles before the season starts again.” He says. It’s always a reason and then it turns into them challenging me.
I roll my eyes. “Go get the balls.” I nod towards the cabinet and he smiles wild sending his friends to the cabinet to grab their own balls. I go back to my office and continue reading.
30 minutes later
The score is 30-27 with me winning against Mason because yet again he challenged me and I never run from a challenge. “Oh come on coach you’re embarrassing me infront of the girls.” He says looking at the girls giggling.
I smirk turning back to him. “Steal it and shoot the three.” I whisper and he does as told, making the girls swoon over him. The bell rings signifying school is over for seniors. And they rush out.
“Thanks coach.” He says.
I ruffle his hair blonde sweaty hair. “No problem. Just remember to stay out of trouble this weekend. I want to see our practice coming in hand on Monday.” I say and he nods walking out.
I go towards my office to finish reading but get stopped by Selenes voice but it’s not soft like it usually is, she’s yelling and she’s pissed. I exit the gym and her door is cracked open which makes sense why I can hear her so clearly since her room is supposed to be sound proof. “Fuck you!” She says to whoever is in there.
“Please Selene, baby.” I hear the voice of a guy. Baby?
“No. You don’t get to call me that! Not when you lie and cheat! Fuck you and get out!” She yells. The idiot cheated on her. Is he blind?
“It was a mistake. Come on you act like you never messed up.” He says sounding pathetic.
She scoffs. “You are a joke. I wasted 7 years on you!”
I walk in hearing enough when I hear her voice break sounding like tears are forming. “Hey.” I say entering the office. I’m met with a pissed off Selene and a white guy with a buzz cut and goatee in a suit. We’re about the same height he might be an inch taller.
“Jordyn.” Selene says embarrassed that I heard the conversation or see she’s crying over this pathetic asshole.
“Who is this? Is she the real reason you won’t give me another chance?” He asks eyeing me and getting in my face. I tilt my head at the action and notice his fist balled up.
“You hit me and you’ll regret it for the rest of your life behind bars or 6 feet under. Either way it doesn’t go your way.” I say confidently with my face relaxed as his is clenched.
He rolls his eyes and walks out. “I am so sorry about him. He just stormed in here demanding to talk.” She says.
“Why are you worried about me?” I say frowning. “You’re the one who was crying. He doesn’t deserve your tears Selene.”
She nods and wipes them away and walking up to me. She wraps her arms around my torso with her head in my chest. I reciprocate after a second of realization and lay my head on top of hers. “Thank you.” She mumbles.
“No problem. If he bothers you again let me know and I’ll deal with it.” I say honestly. How honest, she doesn’t need to know that.
She breaks apart and walks back to behind her desk to sit down. She looks so sexy even when she’s been crying. I was going to ask her out but I don’t know if it’s a good idea right now. I’ll wait. “I’ll see you after school?” She nods and I smile. “Great. See you then.” I say and walk out when she sends a smile my way.
3:00 hits and I decide to shower at the school since I was tired from the game earlier. “Jordyn?” I hear Selenes voice.
I turn off the shower and step out wrapping the towel around my body after putting on my sports bra. I see her searching for me in the locker room. “Hey.” I catch her attention and I see her visibly swallow. “Sorry I was showering. I’m done I’ll be out in a minute.” She nods and then goes back out the locker room. I laugh at her nervousness around me.
I get dressed in a big graphic tee and cargo pants with chains on them and my Jordan 1s. I put on a silver chain and rings to match and then head out to see Selene sitting on the bleachers in her phone. I smirk and take the opportunity of her sitting down to stand in between her legs with my hands on each side of her. “Hi.” I say.
She smiles and her cheeks go red. “Hi Jordyn. Are you ready?” She asks playing with the chain on my neck as she speaks.
I nod. “Yeah, let’s go.” I take her hand to help her down safely off the bleachers. I’ve seen my fair share of students eating shit on those things. But when I go to let her go she tightens the grip and doesn’t let go. I’m not sure if she noticed or not in the moment but once we reached our cars she let go like she realized.
She eyes me and she leans against her car. “Are you going somewhere?” She asks.
I tilt my head in confusion to get question. “Uh yeah. It’s Friday I’m going to my best friends club he owns. I go every Friday.” I say honestly.
“Oh.” She says and I can’t sense what’s happening. “Well have fun.” She goes to open her door but I open it first and she mumbles a thank you. I don’t ask what’s wrong because I know she’ll just say nothing.
“Have a good night Selene. I’ll let you know what happens tonight on Monday.” I say and an idea rolls in my head. “Oh here give me your phone.”
She eyes me confused. “Why?” She asks but still hands me her phone. I type in my number and have it back to her. I saved it under Jordyn ☺ï¸. She smiles at her phone and then back at me.
“Just call me whenever. I’ll answer.” I say honestly. I always answer my phone even when a Scam likely calls.
“I will. Thanks.” I nod and she drives off.
Yes! I look at the time on my phone. Shit!
I make it to the club and greet the security. “What’s up Jonathan? How we looking tonight?” I ask.
“Hey cam. It’s some elite ones in there tonight.” He says and lets me in.
“What can the best friend of the owner so to get a drink around here?!” I yell jokingly at the female bartender, Chai.
She smiles. “I don’t know probably ask out the very much still available bartender who hooks her up every Friday.” She says not so subtly leaning over the counter in front of me.
I smile. “I might just have to do that.” I say smirking.
I feel a tap on my shoulder. “Stop flirting with my employees.” Jason says jokingly and Chai leaves after winking at me.
“She was flirting first.” I retort.
“Yeah, yeah. There’s plenty of women here tonight. But my employees are off limits.” He says sternly.
I roll my eyes and then two women, one blonde with blue eyes and one brunette with brown eyes. They’re both in mini black dresses. “Hey Jason.” They say in unison.
“What’s up ladies? This is my best friend, Jordyn. Jordyn this is Nicole and Jazmine and they watch the stream and wanted to personally meet you tonight.” He says and I eye him knowingly.
“How you doing ladies? You having a good time?” I ask eyeing them both and they nod and smile. “Ok good because I’m planning to dance until my heart is content, would you like to join me?”
“I would.” Jazmine the dark skin girl with passion twist in her hair and beautiful brown eyes. I smile gladly and take her hand and we go on the dance floor. She turns her back to me and starts grinding on me as my hands go to her hips. “You are quite sexy, Jordyn.” She says as she brings my head down to her shoulder.
I smirk and whisper in her ear. “Do you want a drink?” And she nods and I take her to the bar. “What would you like?” I ask her.
“Martini.” And I order it for her. “Are you not drinking?” She asks when I don’t order myself one.
I shake my head. “I drove here. I’d like to drive back as well.” I say with a smile.
She nods and eyes me curiously. “You’re not just trying to get me drunk are you?” She ask jokingly.
I laugh. “No I assure you I’m not that kind of girl. I just know that it’s atleast polite to offer a drink before continuing anything with someone you’re interested in.” I say honestly and she smiles.
“Well I’ve got my drink. Now what?” She asks and grabs my by the shirt and pulls me close to her. “Because I know what I want.” She starts to lean and thank god for my phone ringing. I pull back to take it out.
I see it an unknown number and furrow my brows and answer it holding up my hand to tell her hold on. She gives a disappointing nod. “Hello?” I answer.
“Oh uh hi.” I hear a slurring voice but it sounds familiar.
“Selene?” I can’t hear over the music and Jazmine whispering sweet nothings in my ear. “Hold on I’m going outside.” I tell her and give Jazmine and apologetic look.
“It’s fine. Go.” She says giving a smile. I kiss her cheek and tell Jason I’ll see him later. I hear her say something but don’t quite catch it because she’s slurring over her words so bad. “Hey, what made you call so soon?” I ask smiling.
“I was thinking of you.” My heart flutters. “And was wondering if you’d come here.” My heart stops. Wait what?
“Selene are you drunk?” I ask knowing the answer already.
“Yes but I know I want you here.” She retorts.
Of course she’s only say this because she’s drunk. Wishful thinking at its best. “Selene, you’re saying this now because you’re drunk.”
“Look forget it. I’m sorry to bother you. Jordyn.” She says and hangs up before I can even say anything.
Fuck! I feel my phone vibrate in my hand and look that she sent me a message. I open it and it’s her location. I immediately get in my car and drive to it. This is not how I expected this night to go.
