More Than A Secretary novel Chapter 4

"Hi, Jord what's up?"

Kat asked as she answered the phone.

"Hey, bestie are you home?"  

"Yes, I just got home."

"Okay I am coming over"

"What I thought you will be spending today with Kel?" 

Katrina asked bewildered she didn't like the tone of his voice.

"What happened Jordan?" 

"Kelvin and I broke up." He said 

"Oh my God Jord are you okay what happened?" She asked stunned. 

I don't wanna talk about it on the phone that's why I am coming over do you have alcohol in the fridge or should I get on my way there?" He asked 

"Jord you know you can't drink on weekdays." 

"I will get some on my way." 

He said ignoring what she said and hung up before she could reply. The sadness in his voice made her sad as well. Jordan was usually a cheerful person. He rarely let his sadness or emotions get the better of him, he had always been the rational and realistic one of the two of them. 

"Poor Jord." Katrina thought out loud.

Katrina wanted to just take her bath and go straight to bed, try not to overthink what happened earlier in the day. But Jord needs her right now. She quickly took her bath, looked for a series that they both enjoy, place the beer she had on the small table close to the TV. Just then she heard the lock on her for click. Jord knew her password so she didn't have to go open the door for him.

When he walked him the look on his face made Katrina sad. He looked lost. Jordan has been dating Kelvin for almost three years now to hear that they broke up just like that seem so foreign to her ear. Yeah they had fights but they always work it out and she only gets to hear about it after they have settled. 

"Jordan" she called when he stood in one spot with beer and chicken in his hands.

"He broke up with me Kat." 

He said with a broken voice. She hurried over and hugged him.

"It's will be fine Jord. I promise."  Katrina said tearing up at the sight of her strong bestie crying

 Jordan has never been the crying type for him to be shedding tears means he was hurt.

" I am so sorry Jord."

"No, don't apologize you didn't do a thing. That jerk should be the one apologizing," he said cleaning his eyes and trying to stop his tears.

"I should go knock him over,"

 Kat said. With much seriousness, she would go over and knock him down.

"He is not here anymore Kat, except you wanna travel to Australia to knock his ass off." 

"What? So you mean he came back just to tell you it's over?" Kat asked getting even angrier. 

"Yup, apparently all these while he has been traveling often he had been gradually moving out of New York. He only came to tell me he is done and that he wasn't gonna be around anymore. That's not even the painful part. Kat, he got married while we were still dating." He explained crying even harder. 

Katrina hugged him closer she didn't know what to say to make him feel better. 

"I don't even know what to say Jord," she finally said after a long silence.

"This is f*ck up." 

"I know right, I gave Kelvin my all, I never knew he could do this to me. Never knew someone who claimed to love me would ditch me for someone else." Jord said pain lacing his every word.

"I can't tell you it will be fine right now but you know it will be right? Jord you are a good guy, good things happen to good people so this will pass. You can get through this I promise."
