Chapter 166: How we decide on decisions made!

****

My eyes welled up while Nessa joined, she was silently sobbing, my acting schemes were unbelievable, I was shocked myself.

  "Cmon baby, don't talk like that. We've been here for each other although the way. You know I'd always be here for you Jordan, no mater how hard you try to push me away...I'll always be here for you to see you through in the slightest way I can. All I want is your happiness, that's all! I want nothing from you!" She  said, her words sounded angelic to me, still hard to believe that she's doubled face.

  "Thank you Nessa, you mean the world to me Jordan...i don't want us to fade away..." She stated and I understood were she was driving at.

  "We won't fade, Nessa. What makes you think that?"  I held her hands to my chest. "You don't have to think that way, do you?"

  "Yes I know but...if you eventually find your kids and wife then where would I stand? I'd lose you Jordan, i'd be left lonely again." She said heartily

  "Wed find a a way around it. I'd divorce her and then...you and I would move on together..."

  "Your kids?"

  "Oh Ness..." I sighed then she interrupted

  "Take them away from her...I'll take care if them like their mother. I mean, you'd make her understand that she's got to let you take the children...I'd do anything you want but don't ever leave Jordan. I love you so much, I wish you could see it..." She said, she was asking too much already.

  "Like I said, we'd find a way around. Don't you trust me, I don't go back on my word!" i reminded as she beamed. She turned to the her large portrait and smiled.

  "I've never had such a gift before, this must have cost you more than a million dollars, right?"

  "Yeah! Its something I hadn't done for Gianna, so i think you're special!" I smirked then she turned to me.

  "You are more than humble man, people don't know you until they've actually gotten to know you!"

  "That's why we judge!" I added

  "And so? Have you ever judged me?"

I stood silent for some a constant then I answered, I've judged her long ago.

  "I should ask you that, haven't you?"

  "I once did! My father...Uhm...I mean, my father used to say that passing our judgments doesn't count sometimes but sometimes it does...." She explained but i wasn't satisfied with that response. I wanted to know who her father was, how could I forget such a monumental task?!

  "Your father must be a great man..."

  "He's actually passed on for over thirty years now. He's an old friend..."

  "To whom exactly?" I was interested to know but she was saying too much out of her will.

  "He's a friend to the world. Anyways, never mind. Let's have this time to ourselves, we'll talk about family some other time." She sais abd i agreed to that.

  "That's right! Family doesn't count for now!" I jabbered nonchalantly. "I've got to use the restroom, could you hold on for some seconds...please, sit. Make yourself more than comfortable."

  "Alright!" She snapped with a smile while I headed to the restroom, I locked the door behind me then turned on the tap to run. I dialed BJ, as always he was always active.

  "Yes boss?"

  "I want you to find every single thing about her father, her background, family, just everything!" I snapped almost whispering

  "Yes boss, already digging!"

  "Are you at the apartment?"

  "Yes boss, need something else..." I've got a handful!"

  "That's interesting...keep digging and let me know by dawn!" I instructed.

  "Yes boss!"

  "Better off!" I hung up instantly as she called from the bedroom.

   "Jordan, what's taking you so long?"

  "Will be there in two minutes, my stomach's really rumbling." I screamed a bit

  "Oh my! Maybe I should get you some aid, got a first aid?" She asked

"Just don't worry about it, I'll be fine! Just hold on!"

  "Alright, I'm waiting!"

The next morning,

I opened my eyes while her head rested on my chest, she was seeing an online video.  

  "Morning Nessa!" I kissed her forehead

  "Morning darling!" She turned to me in excitement "You won't believe the trend right now, take a look!" She handed me her phone.  Nessa and I were caught in camera kissing In front at her job and other rare photos of us at the restaurant, places we frequently visited. I was distraught but I feigned a smile.

  "This is crazy Nessa, I forgot about the paparazzi." I said

  "Me too!" She snapped

Kareem, get ready for some questionnaire, I reminded myself. I would take on the press as well, questions would be asked and answers ought to be given. I read some comments via twitter;

      #Good to know that Mr Jordan has finally moved on from that witch of a wife. She's indeed heartless to leave him without his sons!

     #Congratulations, Mr Jordan. Once again he's dating another hottie! He's got eyes you know! Find meeeee

     #I don't support this, if he really loves his wife then this is too soon! He knows better though!

    #He should move on, Gianna is really ingratiating. Im most likely to sue get for this, if it were me!

    #What would you have done if your entirely family was taken away from you?! Mr Jordan is right, he moved on.

    #I support Mr Jordan's effervescence but not this, need i remind y'all that his wife and kids disappeared. He's got a lot of wealth so he could actually find them

    #What could he possibly find if the cops couldn't? Lol!

    #Don't forget that The Khaleefa's kill slowly so if the cops have no say, the Khaleefa's will in the very end. Just watch!

    #This is a hella game. Lorraine, Gianna and now Vanessa? These influential woman have played a terrible part in his life, I wish Darkie was alive. She'd always remain my one and only hottie! Good luck with Vanessa Mr Jordan!

    #The Khaleefa's will find Gianna and grand cubs, count on that! Someone would pay!

    #I miss times when Mr Jamal and Mrs Danni smacked asses in the past, the Lion's cub could try something out!

    #Have y'all ever wondered why this journalist sticks around him? She's gold digging 

#####

I couldn't read any more comments, everything seemed true and accurate but people wouldn't understand the situation. Darkie's memory was brought back to life which got me thinking a lot, it was all.in the past now.  I heaved a deep sigh in distress as I dropped down from the bed staring through the window pane, I pocketed my hands into the black sweat trouser I was wearing.

  "How do you feel about this whole thing? The press? The internet flooding in on you? Its a lot to handle." She asked

  "I expected everything so nothing's new. Like my sister would say, the day we became faces of the world, nothing was hidden. We literally live a life out there!" I simply answered

  "Don't you feel somewhat terrible? I mean...there's been a lot of negative comments!" She added again

  "Nessa, can we not talk about this right now?" I was pissed off already

  "I know but we could do some quick talk, addressing the whole thing. They are painting you black..." She said

  "And you? Are they not painting you black?" I almost yelled at her then I tried to maintain a good composure turning to her.

  "I can always say something to them but what would you say?. You don't need to worry about anything, I'll handle..." She added

  "No, I'll handle it! Come on!" I beckoned at her as she came forth then we hugged tightly.

  "Ok! I have to meet with a friend right now, its really important but I could what you want before I leave." She said

  "I'm fine! Are you sure you don't want me to drive you there, to meet your friend?" I asked, I knew she'd turn me down.

  "Oh no! You don't let me drive, you know that so I'd drive today, stay back and relax and we'll hit it tonight, what do you say?" She teased kissing my cheek.

  "Sounds like a good idea! Off your go, see your friend!" I said "I also have some errands to run as well!" I added

  "That makes us even then!" 

We laughed. She rushed into shower while I snuck on the couch. I took bag of chocolate chips and began eating. I turned on the TV then I saw my trends on it, about Nessa and I. I turned it off then my phone vibrated, I peeped at it.

     *Meet us at the bar, right now!*

              *yes daddy!*

I replied Jeff's message, we had a lot to discuss. Certainly. What else can I when there's a lot going on.

****

  "What's up guys, y'all have been buzzing within minutes. What's so urgent that can't wait though?" I teased as well shook and hug then sat. I turned to the bartender "Schnapps please!"

  "Yes Sir!" He snapped then he furthered "I see how you making that journal hottie trend, big shots!" The bartender teased, he was friend anyways and we all discuss a lot, randomly.

  "About that, you'll just find out in the end of everything!"

  "I trust you, man!" He snapped turning to the wine shelf.

  "What's up with the kisses though?" Jeff stirred after a shot on rum.

  "You've  beenbeen hanging bout with this chic and we didn't know, why are we the last to know?"  Lamar asked outrightly

  "Actually, no one knows about It." I snapped cringing

  "Yet the world knows! That's pathetic." Lamar added with slight distaste

  "What's the new thing?" Jeff airdrop piu

  "Here you go!" The bartender interrupted then he moved to the next customers adjacent.

  "Yeah simply because there's nothing good about it!" I snapped

  "Nothing at all?" Jeff asked in discontent "Then how did you let yourself get caught on cam? Do you really know the drive this is taking?"

  "The comments and uproar on the net?" Lamar added, both giving me a questionable stare. It was pricking my skin.

  "The uproars, the headlines, the comments....I saw all of them..." I shrugged

  "And what's your take on it?" Jeff asked

  "Nothing! I like her and so...there's no point in not giving a try!" I snapped, they wouldn't take that answer, on no account.

  "Well that's Bullshit man, you're telling the whole truth like you should!" Lamar said indignantly

  "Ok! Since you know three much then say it!" I said nonchalantly 

  "Kareem, we can tell when you're not telling the truth, obviously so why not say it?" Jeff urged coolly

  "I'm in love with Nessa and she's very much in love with me too so what's the big deal? You either accept or keeping asking questions that no one would answer!" I explained calmly

  "I always knew that you were a big harlot!" Jeff teased as well laughed

  "Tell me what she tastes like..." Lamar asked 

  "What the hell Lamar, that's personal..." I said defensively

  "I know but jo to us....right Jeff?" He turned to Jeff for a positive nod a d Jeff affirmed "You specifically said that amongst all the women you've had sex with, Gianna hits you differently

Your words not mine..."

  "I know I said that but that's not an excuse. You don't have to know what Nessa tastes like or do you wanna go down with her?" I asked teasing

  "Go away Kareem, no thanks I've got a wife! Happily married!" Lamar said in defense

  "Then let me be!" I snapped

  "And Gianna, what happens to her when she finds out?"

  "I'd divorce her and Nessa would be the girl for my dreams." I blurted out seriously while were lost in thoughts and shocked. "Have I cleared the air or not?"

  "Should I be honest? The sky is hazy so its not clear enough!" Lamar said

  "Whatever it is you go out with should not be our problem but I hope you know what you're doing, even if I'm certain that you not telling the truth, Kareem. I'm only trying to be a good brother, nothing more!" Jeff said

  "Quite thoughtful!" I snapped

  "She's using black magic on you, she's turned you blind already. You can't see no truth!" Lamar added defiantly

  "I know guys, y'all love me and would do anything to make sure I stay on the right path. Thanks guys. Soon, y'all would see the outcome of work, no worries." I assure lee but telling them the whole truth would create more trouble.

  "You better do!" Jeff snapped

We drank and talked as always. After the hang out, I dialed Nessa.

  "Ness? Are you home?"

  "Not yet, I'm still at my friend's! I hope it's not a problem? Do you need me for something?" She asked in concern

  "Not at all. I missed you so much that's all,I'll be waiting at home."

   "Ok honey, I'll see you in an hour's time!" She sent kisses then hung up.

I dialed BJ instantly and it connected

  "Yes boss!"

  "What have you got informations?"

  "A pretty one, you'd love this! Can I wait at the penthouse, I'll be there!" I hung up. BJ had written down the address of the junk store where Nessa frequented I took a drive there. It was ten kilometers where I was initially.

I waited across the street for roughly twenty then I saw her walking out of it with a single brown bag while the store owner I guess, walked her down to the car. They talked for short time then she zoomed off. A minute later, I took a black head cover and black mask making my way inside the store then stood beside the counter at the reception.

  "Hi, can I get something old vases, someone needs it?"  i politely asked

  "Go ahead man, everything you touch cost fifty dollars about so?" He said almost cringing

  "I'll pay for it all!" I snapped them I walked around the store , there wasn't a hint or sign. I took about four minutes then he called out.

  "Hey sir, you're taking forever over there, need some help?x I screamed for me to hear

  "I changed my mind. You git some chisels?' I asked

  "Just hold on." He approached as his phone rang, it ignored it twice then I spoke

  "Maybe too say hello to who ever it. Answer your phone, I'll check around!"

  "Ok then" he moved aside while I behind the compartment.

   "Yes ma'am....I did all you asked me...just fed..." I heard him say as he moved away totally, I couldn't hear the rest. I looked around but there wasn't a door of any sort which got me wondering even more. Maybe she was only shopping, then if she was; why the junk store?
