Get Me Married By Tori Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Jordan’s surprise
Believing that I was safe was thest thing in my thoughts. Samantha was still free and living in the
same house as me. Somehow, a criminal had sneaked into the house and had been killed before he
could tell the truth. I didn’t feel safe, I felt like she had more things that were up to her sleeves and
wouldn’t stop till I was dead or out of the house. How could I feel safe with such a woman in my house?
I rolled over on the bed, groaning loudly because I had tried sleeping but couldn’t. I had this fear inside
of me that was stopping me from sleeping and it was slowly eating me up. Though I wanted to believe
that I was safe, I felt I wasn’t safe at all. I couldn’t help it.
After a long time of rolling on the bed, I realized that I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go down and have
something to eat. It had slowly be a normal routine for me and soon enough, I was getting up
from my bed and walking towards the door.
When I opened the door and stepped out, a scream escaped my mouth and my heart skipped by a
thousand miles.
“Ma’am” one of the men outside my door called out, shocked and confused as he turned to me. But I
quickly recognized one and stared at him. He was the guard I had ordered to call the other guards
earlier. I felt a little relief at seeing him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked breathlessly with my hands in my chest and they immediately
bowed their head, taking their eyes off me and cing them on the floor.
“Guarding…. You” one said hesitantly and I calmed down just for a little bit. I stared at the two of them,
they were all dressed in the normal guards’ uniform.
“Why? I didn’t ask for you” I took a deep breath at that point to reduce my stress.
“The boss did” they chorused and my heart skipped.
“Ohh…” Was the next best thing I could say. It was shocking to know that Jordan could have asked
them to watch me from the door of my room. I didn’t understand why he was acting like he cared, I
didn’t want him to act like he cared. It broke most of the walls and iciness I had in my heart for himand I
didn’t want that. I wanted to remain strong and tough enough and knew I wouldn’t be able to do that if
he began acting so caring.
I came out of my room and strolled down to the kitchen. Footsteps were loudly behind me and when I
turned, the guards from my door were following me. I guessed they were ordered to do that so I let
them. Having them around me settled some uneasiness in my heart and made me feel safe just by a
little.
I took some cookies and milk out of the refrigerator and started eating. While listening to absolutely
nothing. The house was silent and quiet at that time and I felt like an intruder myself for being up so
early. But it wasn’t my fault anymore that I couldn’t sleep, it was draining but I couldn’t help it.
I was halfway through my midnight snack when someone pulled up and sat beside me. I didn’t
turn around to see who it was because I perceived his cologne and my heart skipped. Swallowing the
cookie in my mouth suddenly became so hard, it wouldn’t pass down and the air around me felt
different.
Jordan handed me my ss of milk when he noticed my uneasiness and I took it. I drank a mouthful
and allowed it to help me.
I took it from him and drank it. He watched me, I could feel his eyes watching my every move and it
was so ufortable. The air in the room seemed like it suddenly changed at his presence and I
wanted to leave. I was ufortable with around, I told him to stay away, what was so difficult in that?
After I forcefully finished the cookie l had on my te, I got up immediately, happy to leave him to
himself. I sent the dishes to the dishwasher and turned around just to see him staring at me
“We can watch a movie if you can’t sleep” he voice out. His dim voice echoed through the silent house
and made me tremble.
“No thanks,” I simply said and walked out of the kitchen.
“You might not sleep at all and you know that. Why waste your time rolling on the bed when there is a
movie room?” He said and I paused.
A heavy sigh escaped my lips when I understood that what he was saying made sense and would be a
big relief to me but I didn’t want to ept his offer. Because it wasing from him.
“I’m just trying to help” he added like he could read my troubled thought about him. And I turned
around, he wasn’t that far from me and he looked serious.
“Okay” I replied and his lips curved into a smile and my heart skipped a million miles. He was a fine
man, so handsome, I could hear my own heart beating inside my chest and my cheeks heating up. I
pulled my eyes away from him and feasted them on something else.
“This way then” he ordered and turned to the stairs. I followed behind him but stopped when he turned
to the right-wing. Jordan gave me a lot of bad memories in that wing, memories that were stuck in my
head, reminding me of the fact that he could be a jerk.
“The movie room is right this way” he turned back to me and I shook my head.
“I guess I won’t be doing the movie then”
“Why?” He questioned and I red at him.
“That’s the right-wing” I replied and it was his turn to sigh and look away. I couldn’t tell if he did that out
of guilt and remorse or purely out of exhaustion and frustration.
“There is one downstairs, do you want that instead?” He asked with his tone lower than it was. It felt
like he was disappointed in something.
“Yes,” I quickly replied. Then he raised his head to me again and forced a smile before turning back
down the stairs.
All through this process, the guards were following me none stop. I followed Jordan to the sitting room
and to the corner of the room that was draped with a huge grey curtain. He pushed it to the side and a
door revealed itself. Then Jordan opened the door and walked in and I gasped at the thought of not
knowing that something like that could be in my house. I paired through it from where I stood, but it was
too dark and I remained outside, scared to go inside. Then Jordan turned on the light and turned back
to me, urging me with his eyes toe in. I did exactly as he said and walked into therge cinema he
had. It was spacious and a huge tv was hung at the end of the room. The only difference it had with a
cinema was that there were long couches and they were just four in the room. I walked over to the
couch that soothed me and sat down while Jordan went towards the tv to y a movie. A few minutes
later, he came over to where I sat and sat down beside me. A guard turned off the light and it went
extremely dark again with only the tv light. A movie started ying, it started with a countdown. I
watched as the countdown finished and the tv went nk ck.
I suddenly got the chills at the way the beginning of the movie was and found myself moving closer to
Jordan. Then a girl appeared, she was at a rail station waiting for a train but it was extremely quiet and
lonely at the ce she was.
“Uhmmm…. Jordan” I called out to him, something telling me that he yed a horror movie.
“Hmm”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Is this a….”
Boom
Something popped out in front of the camera and a shrieking horrific sound filled the room. I screamed
with my heart running away from me. It was beast-like and he slowly stalked towards the girl.
I pulled my face away, my heart was beating inside my chest and I found myself burying my face in
Jordan’s chest.
“Turn it off” I yelled. He wrapped his hands around me, holding me tight as I tried not to look at the tv.
Then it went quiet and dark. I pulled away just a little and turned back to the tv, it was nk. I breathed
in heavily and I turned back to Jordan, I red at him, so hard and moved away from him at the same
time. I knew he wasn’t the type to y naughty just to get me close to him, but why y a horror
movie?
He looked away and chuckled at my look. It was infuriating to see that he thought it was funny. but his
voice sounding like a song in my ears, made my stomach churn with a beautiful feeling inside. I looked
away and folded my arms across my chest with a frown on my face and waited till his chuckling died
down in the darkness.
“Do you want to watch something else?” His voice echoed in my ears and I turned to him. It was dark
but I could still make out his face in the night.
“Yes please” I sighed and he immediately shed me his set of white teeth in the night. Again my heart
skipped and I immediately turned away. This was the same person I wanted to stay away from me.
A guard walked up to him and he whispered something in his ears before he walked away.
The movie was changed by the guard and I found myself going closer to Jordan just Incase he wanted
to scare me again. I stopped when I was just a little distance away from him and he turned 10 me.
“It’s not scary,” he said like he could read my thoughts and an ‘ohh’ escaped my mouth. Before I tried
moving back from him. He held my wrist and I turned to him and met his gaze. He stared at me and I
thought I saw his expression change into a serious one. His eyes held mine with a sudden emotion and
I found that I couldn’t look away either. Then the movie started and pulled me out of the gaze I held. I
turned to the tv and back to him, then he cleared his throat and took his hands off my wrist.
“You don’t have to move away” he simply said. I turned to him with a confused feeling in my heart but
gave him a nod anyway before turning back to the TV.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a horror movie and it made me feel really at ease most especially because it had
a bit ofedy in il. Most times I wouldugh till my eyes water and in our roar ofughter, I took note
of the times his fingers grazed my hands or when his hand touched mine. I moved slightly away from
him during those times. When we were done with that movie, a different one was yed
Even as I watched, I noticed how sleepy I was bing and would yawn loudly al intervals. Luckily for
me, I finally felt like sleeping but when I thought about going to my room, I would push the thought
away because I wanted to finish the movie. And because I knew going up there would only rid the
sleep away from my eyes. So I remained and fought with the sleep that was slowly taking over my
entire being.
My eyes were sliding close and open when I felt someone’s hand on the right side of my face. His
hands wererge yet gentle and warm. He pushed me back to rest my head against his shoulders and
I did without restraint, liking the feel of him close to me.
The room I shared with Samantha suddenly seemed to be thest ce I wanted to be. I was still very
much angry and hurt by what she had done and didn’t want to even look at her. I had also seen her
Still, I did not feel too safe leaving her all alone at night. And knowing that she wouldn’t want me around
or close to her, I decided to have guards guard her door.
I was still restless in the room where Iid when a guard informed me that she was wide awake and in
the kitchen.
I quickly got up and went down to see her because I wanted to be around her. It was the least I could
do for all she had been through.
She looked beautiful even in the dim light of the movie room and for the first time I had herugh so
hard, it was like a sweet melody in my heart and it gave me sweet satisfaction. I made her smile and
laugh, it lifted a lot of things from my chest and I enjoyed herpany.
Not until she started yawning loudly. I could tell that she was sleepy but didn’t say anything because
she wouldn’t say a thing either. I watched her more than I watched the movie and saw the way she
push herself to finish the movie and paid close attention to her for the sake of making sure she was
alright.
I watched her as her eyelids slowly became heavy and closed. Then I ced her head on my
shoulders so she wouldn’t fall over. Peace settled in my heart at the sight of her sleeping and for the
first time all day, happiness flooded my heart. I haven’t seen her sleeping so soundly. She looked
beautiful and peaceful and I felt satisfied that I made it happen.
I finished the movie and turned back to her. She was still so sound asleep so I carried her in my arms,
holding her in a bridal style while she snuggled herself into my body and wrapped her hands around my
neck. Her sweet scent filled my nose and I took it in like it was a part of me. I frowned when I realized
what I was doing and how much she was affecting me and quickly, I pushed the feeling away.
With that, I took her back upstairs and back to her room. I ced her gently on the bed and covered
her carefully with the duvet. She shifted slightly on the bed and turned around. Her hair covered her
face at that move and I found myself sitting beside her and staring at her face.
The only wrong she ever did was manipte me into marrying her. She did nothing else and paid a
terrible price for it. Staring at her reminded me of my dilemma and how she required justice for herself.
I sighed heavily when I thought of Samantha and what I would do. I still haven’t been able to decide
what I would do and I wished I wasn’t the person who had to make the decision. I didn’t want to be
partial to Genesis and I didn’t want to lose my love too.
I shook my head and rxed my head against the bed while I stretched one of my legs on the bed. I
pushed everything away from my thoughts and tried to focuse mainly on the surprise I had for Genesis.
