''I stole them from soone. He will co to find you for them later on. I have to prepare for my performance'' Jessi kissed her cheek and turned away, she held the sides of her gown as she walked to the band that had already set up.
Paige looked at the cufflinks in her hands and saw the initials 'J' on them and smiled. She looked at Jessi who winked at her before turning in ti to see the couple exchanging rings.
A man walked to the front and stood beside Paige at that mont. She was so focused on Mira and Carlien that she didn't notice he had taken her purse and sat beside her.
Jordan looked at the woman beside him and murmured, ''beautiful''
Paige's body stiffened and she turned at once to look at the owner of the voice.
''It's been a while. How have you been?'' Jordan asked.
''Huh?''
''Miss, I heard you have sothing of mine'' he asked and Paige opened her right palm. Jordan smiled and took them from her. she watched him as he put them on and straightened his shirt. ''You should focus on the people today''
Paige turned and looked at him, her eyes almost swelling up with different sorts of emotions.
''You''
''Hi, nice to et you. I am Jordan Attoh'' he said and turned to look at her. ''I heard so much about you and couldn't wait to see you''
''You may now kiss the bride'' the minister announced, bringing Page back to her senses. She looked away in ti to see them ready to kiss and her phone buzzed.
Paige frowned, looking at the incoming call from the first year resident in her departnt and stood up, leaving the place. Jordan stood up and followed her hurriedly.
She went a distance away and answered ''speak, it better be a matter of life and death'' Paige gave a steady warning to the person on the other side.
The person on the other side heaved before speaking, ''Dr. Payin, the patient in ward 390 is going into cardiac arrest. We have tried to stabilise him but it's getting worse''
''What?'' Paige's voice was a little loud. She turned to go back for her purse and saw Jordan holding it in front of her, ''I will call you back'' she hung up and looked at him as he stretched the purse towards her.
''I figured you might need this'' Jordan said with a smile.
''Where is your car?'' Paige suddenly asked him.
''Yes, do you need a ride?''
''Yes, right now. How fast can you go?'' Paige asked as she walked with him towards the car park.
''As fast as you want to'' Jordan said and pressed the key to open the doors.
''Whoa, nice car'' Paige said and got in the front seat with him.
''Ready?'' Jordan turned to her and she nodded her head.
''Let's go to the hospital'' Paige placed her purse on the side and looked at her long gown. She called the first year resident and started giving him instructions as Jordan drove out of the wedding venue.
Carlien turned to Lucas when they were about to take their photos and asked, ''where is Paige?''
''She left with Jordan a while ago'' Lucas replied fixing his tie.
''She left with Jordan?'' Mirabel asked.
''Yes, they left just a few minutes ago'' Joel said. He had seen them leaving and smirked.
''Elder brother sent a text. He said he sent Paige to the hospital. She received an ergency call and had to leave'' Jessi walked to them and explained. She had received Jordan's ssage a few minutes ago. ''Congratulations to you all. I am happy to be here''
''Jessi, it is good to see you all dolled up'' Mirabel hugged Jessi.
''She looks so adorable'' Carlien added.
''I will be singing the congratulatory song in a while. I hope you enjoy it'' Jessi smiled and went back to the band.
The invited guests started coming around to congratulate them as they singing was going on. Jessi had prepared a special song she titled, 'fated timing' and was singing it for the first ti at their wedding before it was going to be officially out a month later.
City B First Hospital.
''Thank you'' Paige said and got down hurriedly. She ran inside the hospital holding her hells that she had removed on the way.
Jordan chuckled and sent the car to the parking lot before getting out. He took the purse she left behind and went inside the hospital to wait.
Paige went into her office and quickly changed out of her dress. She left it on the couch in the office and put on her flat sandals and went out of the office. After she left, Jordan also arrived. He turned the knob and it opened and he went inside.
After finally stabilising the patient and sending him to the ICU, Paige walked towards her office yawning and stretching herself. She opened the door and saw Jordan sleeping on the couch. his long legs were sprawled over the small couch as he breathed steadily.
Paige closed the door carefully and went over to his side. She sat on the table and leaned closer to his face. She still felt like it was a dream. She lifted her hand and her fingers brushed through his face softly before she retracted them and a hand held unto her wrist.
She looked up and t with his eyes. She blushed and tried to take her hand away, ''I wasn't looking at you'' she said nervously and tried to stand up, but his grip on her tightened and he pulled her over and she fell on top of him. He held her body up and swiftly turned her, changing their positions. He was now the one on top of her.
''You what do you think you are doing?''
''Are you married?'' he asked her and she shook her head.
'No''
''Do you have a boyfriend?''
''No''
''That ans you are single, right?''
''Yes''
Her answer barely left her lips when she felt his lips on hers. Jordan pulled her closer to himself with his hand that was under her and started kissing her.
Paige blushed and wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kisses.
After a while, Jordan slowed down and finally let go. They panted for breath before he stood up and held her body up. He sat down and pulled her on to his laps, wrapping his arms around her body, ''this is probably the happiest thing to have happened to in the last 18 months''
''Why did you keep so long? I almost gave up on you''
''I'm sorry for taking so long to return''
''It's too late. You even ca and still didn't let see you''
''I was with you in the elevator. It is your fault that you didn't recognise . I even followed you ho to make sure you were safe. You never turned back even once''
'What did you discuss with my father. He told you visited him?''
''I went to ask him for your hand in marriage''
''What? Aren't I supposed to be the one to say whether I accept you or not?''
''I knew you would accept , but I needed to get pass your father first''
''Tsk, I should have gotten myself a boyfriend earlier. What would you have done if you ca and I was with soone?''
''Then, I returned at the right ti. We can't allow you to give up on or fall for soone else'' Jordan stood up with her, ''change and let's go on a date''
''Date?'' Paige asked him.
''Yes, I want to spend ti with you''
''But, we have to go back to the wedding venue''
''They have gotten their happy ending. We are just beginning our journey. Change and let's go'' he pressed on.
''Then, can you wait outside. I need to remove my clothes first'' Paige blushed and her face reddened. Jordan chuckled and kissed her again before going out of the office.
Paige hurriedly changed out of her scrub and wore her dress and shoes before going to open the door.
''Let's go'' she said to Jordan and he took her hand.
''Yes, my love''
''Where are we going?''
''A friend I made recently has a caf that she opened not long ago. She said I can visit anyti''
''A lady?''
''Yes, a lady who is just a friend. I told her a lot about you and she can't wait to see you. We are going there for another reason'' Jordan opened the car door for her.
''What reason?''
''She barely gets any custors'' Jordan chuckled.
''She barely gets any custors? Then, why is she operating a caf when she doesn't get custors?''
''She is eccentric and hates to call another person her boss. Anyways, you will agree with when you see her''
''Eccentric. She must be interesting''
''Very interesting. You will see for yourself''
