Get Me Married

Chapter 54: Suspicious of Jordan

A few days after.

GENESIS

“Ma’am, you have to eat, you have been in here for a long time now,” Margaret said for what seemed to be the hundredth time if not more. But as I had been doing, I ignored her and concentrated on the painting in front of me.

Weeks ago I had turned one of the spare rooms into a beautiful studio of mine and had left everything because things came up. That morning I decided to go into the studio and the moment I did, inspirations came, thoughts came, feelings flowed and I was picking my brush and doing what I ought to before I knew it. I poured out my heart into the painting, letting my feelings flow and reminding myself why I loved painting again. It was so early in the morning I left my room and Margaret had been bothering me ever since.

“I will, just give me a moment,” I said to her and heard her groan lowly behind me.

“You have been saying that all day ma’am,” she replied and I smiled.

“What do you mean by all day?” I asked her, knowing I just got there and I knew it wasn’t that long since that I got there.

“You have been in here all day without food, you have to eat something,” she replied and it was my turn to groan. She was being pretty adamant about letting me have my peace.

“I will do that soon, just drop it at the side,” I said to her, determined to finish what I had started. No more words came from her after that and I heard the door shut behind me and knew that she was gone. I was able to focus again.

It took a while, I couldn’t tell how long it took because I was so engrossed in what I was doing, nothing around me mattered anymore but Margaret returned. Hearing the door shut again, followed by footsteps made me annoyed because I knew she was coming to do more.

“Ma’am…” She called out and I couldn’t help but groan because I knew whatever she had to say to me was going to get up frustrated.

I would go downstairs in search of him, just to thank him for being weirdly concerned and caring and wouldn’t see him most of the time. But whenever I do, he quickly leaves when he sees me. I had thought of it as nothing at first, but when time went on,

that shouldn’t get to him and I quickly understood that he was avoiding me and was so good at it. It also explained to me why I seldom see him and when I do, it was his back or with sleepy eyes. It made me sad that he was doing that when I thought that we had grown past that stage where he had to do that. I went back upstairs annoyed at his actions and thought about why he would be avoiding me and came to the conclusion that it was either Samantha’s orders that he avoided me or he was trying to save himself and his girlfriend from my wrath over the
