Paige looked around but didn't see Jordan. She turned to go and saw a small book stuck in the middle of the big books in the Dispensary and Pharmacology departnt books shelves. She chuckled as she read out the title ''101 ways to get his heart? Tsk, who could have put such a tacky book there? It won't be considered stealing if I take it to go and read, right?'' Paige said to herself and went closer. She didn't see the sign that was beside the shelf saying 'shelves are under maintenance'.
Paige went closer and picked the climber at the side. She placed it down and stepped on it to remove the small book.
Jordan entered the library and saw Carlien with her group. He didn't see Paige and started to also look for her. He passed the shelves under maintenance and the figure of soone caught his attention. He turned back and saw Paige on top of the climber trying to pick a book that was stuck in the middle of the big books. Jordan sighed ''she is always doing dangerous things''
Jordan went closer and stood before her. Paige didn't see him. She finally removed the book and was excited. She breathed out and chuckled saying ''finally got you''
''Do you have a masochist inside of you? Why are you always doing dangerous things? Didn't you see the sign at the side there that this part of the library was under maintenance?'' Jordan said angrily and Paige looked down and saw him. She ignored the angry gaze he gave her and pointed the book at him as she stood on the climber.
''I found this book stuck in the middle of all the big books and wanted to bring it out for a little fresh air'' Paige said and smiled genuinely and in a manner Jordan hadn't seen in a long ti. She looked so beautiful at that mont.
''Co down, you, stubborn lady'' Jordan said and folded his arms watching her.
''Coming'' Paige said and held unto the shelf for support as she stepped down and the shelf shook. Paige stiffened as she looked up and saw the pile of books falling towards her.
''Paige'' Jordan scread her na and ran to her. He pulled her into a protective hug as the pile of books fell on his back.
The chaos made the students in the library to rush to them. Mirabel who was following Jordan secretly rushed forward after seeing that and shouted.
''Jordan''
''Paige'' Carlien also shouted Paige's na and glared at Mirabel. They both ran to Paige and Jordan.
The students nearby helped them to steady themselves and Jordan noticed Paige's bandaged soaked in blood and asked worriedly not caring about his own back that was hurting him.
''Paige, are you alright?'' Paige nodded her head and looked at him also worried.
''Are you okay?'' Paige asked.
''How can he be alright after all those books fell on his back because he was trying to protect you? If you had been careful, Jordan wouldn't have had to use his body to protect you. Jordan, why are you always getting into trouble because of this woman?'' Mirabel said angrily.
''What about my friend? Do you know the kind of trauma she is in right now? Do you only care about Jordan? My friend is clearly flustered by what had happened. What do you an by he is always getting into trouble with my Paige?'' Carlien lashed back and turned to Paige.
''Your hand is bleeding, let's go to the hospital'' Carlien said and walked away with Paige.
Jordan looked at Mirabel sternly before walking away and Mirabel pursed her lips.
Jordan ran out and saw Carlien sending Paige towards the University hospital which was considered a far distance from the library because of how big the campus was. He ran quickly towards the car park and got into his car and drove out.
Paige turned to Carlien saying to her ''Carly, is better you go back for our books first and then et at the hospital''
''Will you be okay?'' Carlien asked.
''I didn't break my hand, okay? Is just a little bruised because the book fell on it. I will be fine'' Paige said and a car pulled over in front of them. Jordan got down from the car and opened the front seat door saying.
''Get in, I will send you to the hospital''
''Then, I will leave her to you. Could you also send her ho while you are at it?'' Carlien said.
''Sure'' Jordan answered and Carlien smirked.
''Then, I will see you later at ho, Paige'' Carlien said and went off back to the library.
''Are you going to keep staring at like that?'' Jordan asked Paige and she blushed and looked away before getting into the car. Jordan smiled and closed the door before going to sit.
At the hospital, Paige got the bandage removed and her small opening cleaned and taken cared off. She walked out of the dressing room and saw Jordan walking towards her with two canned drinks. He opened one and gave to her as they walked out silently and awkwardly towards the car.
''I'm sorry'' Paige said.
''Thank you'' Jordan also said almost at the sa ti and they both laughed.
''You go first, Paige told him.
''No, ladies first'' Jordan insisted.
'We are even'' Paige said and they looked at each other.
''We are even?'' Jordan asked.
'"You saved , right? So, we are even''
''No, let apologise to you, Paige. You don't deserve what I did to you. I was a jerk and I am sorry for hurting you'' Jordan said.
''Is good that you know you were being a jerk. An obnoxious jerk at that'' Paige said.
''You won't even give face?''
''No, I won't. Actually, I went to the library to look for you'' Paige said and Jordan looked at her surprised. ''I don't know why, but I just didn't want you to misunderstand . There is nothing between Anthony and . Is the sa with Joel. I just sotis have a hard ti rejecting people especially when they are being kind to . I don't also like to think about people having bad intentions towards because it wears out. I just want to be nice to the people who are nice to without crossing the line but it doesn't also an that I will let soone cross the line with ''
''I know and I feel bad for hurting you'' Jordan said.
''The first ti we t, you told I just had a pretty face with no manners. The truth is, what you said hurt a lot and I've been thinking about it all the ti. Sothing happened to my family a few years ago and since then, I've been having difficulty rembering people I see for the first ti. If I don't et them or be around them for a long ti, I easily forget about them. The doctors didn't have any explanation to it either. It is just sothing that is now a part of ''
Jordan stared at Paige's face as he listened to her. He didn't know she had such a problem and quickly judged her for pretending not to rember him. He even called her an actress. Jordan felt like beating himself up for having such a misconception about Paige.
''Jordan, I want to ask you sothing'' Paige said.
''Ask right away'' Jordan said and smiled.
'Have we t before? I keep feeling that, that day wasn't the first ti we t. Am I right?'' Paige asked and Jordan chuckled.
''You are right. We have indeed t before, but not at the school''
'Really? Can you tell where?''
''We t at the wedding of the cousin of Ad-Din Denarius. The husband of Maria, your friend'' Jordan told her.
''You you were the one Maria introduced to ? I rember now. No wonder, I always feel that your face was familiar sohow. I just couldn't connect the missing dots''
''Look at you'' Jordan said as he stared at her excited face.
''I'm sorry, I didn't recognise you first. I just had a lot of things going on at that mont'' Paige said apologetically.
''So, are we good now? No anger or bitterness?'' Jordan asked.
''No anger nor bitterness. We are good and I am happy to et you again'' Paige said.
''I thought I didn't leave a much impression on you that's why you didn't recognise '' Jordan said.
''Right, which departnt do you belong. It took a long ti to find you'' Paige asked curiously.
''Actually, I also have a confession to make. Don't get angry, I didn't an to keep it from you. I just didn't find the right ti to tell you''
''What is it? Wait, don't tell you don't really attend this school and has been posing as a student all this while?'' Paige said and looked horrified.
''Relax, I am not a fraud. Actually, I am not a student in this school'' Jordan didn't finish and Paige jumped to conclusion.
''You are not a student? Then, are you a part of the non-teaching staff?''
'Paige, let finish''
