It was around noon when all the members of the FS were gathered in the sitting room of their 'Spinster's house'. They had initially referred to it as that because they were all single and after they started dating, they decided to still leave the name as that.
"Why do you keep turning him down? At least give him a chance". Dd told Aj sounding as frustrated as ever with this adamant friend of hers.
The girls had been advising Aj to accept to date Jordy since the previous year. Jordy didn't out rightly say he wanted to date Aj, he just asked if they could be friends but the stubborn Aj refused.
"I am just not interested in any relationship with any male. Apart from my dad, brothers and your boyfriends, I don't want to have any other guy in my life. I'm just not ready for it." Aj replied hoping they'll see reason to it.
"It is high time you forget what happened to you. You can't let it stop you from having a boyfriend. For goodness sake he's gone and he won't come back." M said frustratedly.
"And besides Jordy doesn't mean to harm you. I can assure you that Jordy can protect you, take care of you and respect your decisions and you won't worry about anything". Lizzy added.
"I never said it was because of anything that happened to me, I am just to busy with everything in my life and having a boyfriend might not help me focus". Aj replied.
"Come on, take a look at us. All of our royal activities, and our day to day activities are becoming easier because we have the guys to lean on, help us, count on and depend on". Dd said
"Look, this discussion is over. I'm starting work in a cafe tomorrow and I have to go to work early. I'll retire for the night now".
"And I i don't see why you work so hard. I mean you have enough money to live on for the rest of your life" Lizzy added.
"And an extra work wouldn't hurt you know" Aj replied.
The next day, Jordy walked into a cafe shop and went towards the counter to place his order.
"I want a cup of coffee please" Jordy said
"Coming right..." Aj immediately stopped talking when she realized that was Jordy's voice and she turned around. Is he stalking me now? She wondered to herself.
"Hey" Jordy said to break the silence between them as it was becoming unbearable.
"Hi" she said nervously as she turned, made a cup of coffee and added cream, then handed it over to him.
"How did you know i wanted whipped cream on it?" Jordy asked wondering how she knew.
"I...I...I" she stammered not knowing how to defend herself.
He just chuckled when he saw that her eyes shone and she blushed. It meant she was curious about him. He didn't need an answer, what he saw was enough answer to him. It was just the exact confirmation he needed. It made his heart curve up in a wide smile. He then walked away to a sit where he could see her in a perfect view, then he placed his cup on the table in front of him.
Some minutes later;
"I can drive you to school if you want since you didn't bring your car" Jordy offered when she was about to flag down a cab. "Well, I don't bite" he added
Aj turned to look at him, she thought he had left since. She slowly nodded her head and as a gentleman he opened her door for her.
After school, back at the Spinster's house...
"You guys needed to see as every girl was shooting bloodshot eyes at me just because Jordy dropped me off at school after my shift at the cafe." Aj complained
"Wait Jordy dropped you off at school? Like you entered his car and he drove you to school?" Lizzy asked
"Yes, is there a problem?" Aj replied and asked
"No, just that we're shocked that you finally agreed to enter his car and allowed him drive you to school. And also because I don't think it is safe for both of you to be in the same car" M said
"OMG could it be that you are starting to have feelings for him?" Dd said. Amongst all of them she was the most outspoken. And she told the truth bluntly.
"That is absurd why would you think of something like that?" Aj asked
"Well it is the truth even if you don't want to accept it. Before you wouldn't even want to step foot in his car and now all of a sudden you allow him drive you to school" Dd said
"You are just making up stuffs in your head" Aj said, defending herself
"You can keep lying to yourself because we know you have started having feelings for him" Lizzy said
