CHAPTER V: Invitation

*Davina's place*

Davina comes back from school, walking into the living room sees her mom on the sofa watching TV.

"Hey honey, how was your day?" Davina's mom asks.

"It was fine mom.. umm.. aren't you going out?" Davina asks nervously.

"Why? Is there a problem? Can't I be at home?" Davina mom asks three questions in succession, staring at Davina with an inquiring gaze.

"Umm..no, just.. I was just asking." Davina says trying to cover up her nervousness.

"Just asking?" Her mom raises her brow with suspicion.

"Are you expecting someone?" She asks with a smirk.

Slightly blushing Davina replies "No.. just.. nevermind mom, I'll be in my room." She hurries to leave.

"Hold on. Why do you look so flustered?" Her mom asks knowingly.

"Nothing mom.. just, I'm just tired. Bye now." Davina says.

"Okay.. well I was just thinking of inviting a special someone to have lunch with us. Your dad wants to meet him." Her mom says with a smile while observing her daughter's reaction.

"Oh..who might that be?" Davina responds slightly unsure of her mom's words.

"Who else? It's Jordan." Her mom says, winking at Davina.

Davina blushing heavily, tries to avoid her mom's gaze responds "Okay." She hurries back to her room and begins preparing for Jordan's arrival.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After dropping Michelle of, Elira decides to drop Jordan at his place. Getting out of the car he notices his dad washing his car looking at him with an annoyed expression.

"Hey Dad." He says trying to walk past his dad.

"Come here! Who was that? Do you know how long we've been waiting for you? Someone came looking for you, you'd better tell me what you've been up to? His dad says in a harsh tone.

"Umm.. that was the Chairman's daughter. The one that hosted that event at Revlon. She just wanted to drop me off." Jordan says flatly already irritated by his father's questioning.

"Which Chairman? You'd better take your time. Stay away from her." His dad says angrily.

"Okay. I understand." Jordan responds and prepares to go in.

"Hold on. There's a rich looking man in there, he says he wants to invite you to lunch, who is he?" His dad asks still annoyed.

"I don't know.. why don't I go in and see?" Jordan says trying not to sound sarcastic.

"Go." His dad says.

Walking into the house, Jordan sees a man sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching the news.

"Good day sir." Jordan greets.

"Oh.. hello, you must be Jordan. I'm Davina's father, I've heard a quite a few things about you from my daughter. I'd like to invite you to have lunch with us if that's okay?" The man responds.

"Oh. Alright sir.. is everything okay though?" Jordan says calmly not minding the man's identity.

"Sure.. why wouldn't everything be okay? Come on prepare yourself so we can leave early. We don't want to keep the ladies waiting do we?" The man says jokingly.

"Alright sir. Please excuse me, I'll be down in a few." Jordan says before going up the stairs to his room.

The man drinks his tea, lost in thought. Seemingly thinking about Jordan how he sees his composure.

Jordan walks into his room and sees his mom doing his laundry.

"Umm mom.. you don't have to do this y'know? I can take care of it myself." He says still moved from his mother's actions.

"Yeah yeah.. I know, I just felt like doing something here. Oh and by the way, that must've been Davina's father right?" She responds and looks at Jordan with a knowing expression.

"Yeah.. he invited me to lunch. So, I'll be going really soon." Jordan says calmly.

"Oh..Okay then. Make sure you look good..and smell good.. behave when you get there okay." His mom says before patting Jordan on the head and walking out of his room.

Jordan thinks to himself "Okay.. so what am I gonna wear now? All black? Maybe.."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming down the stairs Jordan sees his parents chatting freely with Davina's dad. Upon Jordan's dad discovering that Davina's dad is into import and export trading as well as real estate management, his mind is finally at ease.

"Alright sir. I'm ready." Jordan says, interrupting their conversation.

"Oh my.. you look quite charming." Davina's dad says admiring Jordan's looks.

"That's Jordan for you, quite the charmer." His mom says proudly.

"Of course, he got it from me." His dad says blending with the topic.

"Alright let's go. It was nice meeting you both, I'll certainly be coming again to finish our discussion, or maybe we could all have dinner at my place another day." Davina's dad says standing up to shake Jordan's dad.

"Pleasure meeting you as well. We'll be looking forward to it." Jordan's dad says as he sees them off.

"Take care sweetie." His mom says.

"Alright mom. See you later." Jordan says as he gets into the car, zooming off.
