The Brother Who Hates Me

The next day, Raven woke up with her usual routine. She went out directly to do some stretching at the balcony.

The air outside was brushing at her messy hair while the morning sun hit at her face.

Raven closed her eyes as she raised both her arms to feel the air.

'Ahhh. This feels so good,' she thought while smiling.

Jordan was drinking his coffee at the living room when Raven stepped out from her room with her sleeve and short in pink printed with an animated character.

She was rubbing her eyes and directly walked towards the balcony. The girl did not even notice him.

He was about to greet her but chose not to and followed her instead.

'Why is she doing her stretching at the balcony?' Jordan thought frowning when he saw Raven's bare lower back and lower side's skin from behind whenever she will move her arms upward or do the side stretching.

Jordan wanted to hug her from behind but controlled himself.

His eyes widened when Raven did the standing half forward bending because he can clearly saw her bottom with her black underwear from behind.

Then she did the standing forward bending with her legs apart after.

"Ahhh!" Raven screamed as she lost her balance and had rolled forward.

Jordan who was daydreaming at that time quickly walked at her and helped her got up.

"Sorry, did I startle you? Are you alright?" Jordan asked while he looked at her arms and legs to see if she had a scratch or any wound with the sudden rolling.

Raven was blushing so she answered with her head bowed down, "I'm okay. I thought you left for work already."

"Nope. I'm free today. Sheena will have something to do at school today so she left early. Let's go and get breakfast. I'll wait for you to change." Jordan said to her.

Raven was still out of herself but nodded and quickly run inside her room.

She leaned at the door and put her hand to her chest. Her heart was beating so fast.

'What is wrong with my heart?' There are instances where it will beat like that whenever Jordan is near her.

She thought something was wrong with what she was feeling. But then she just brushed off the thought and went to the bathroom instead.

She looked in the mirror and saw how messy her hair was.

'Gosh, I should learn to fix my hair first from now on before getting out of the room.' She thought since Jordan will be around for days.

They just walk at the nearest café in the area.

"Do you have anything to do for today?"Jordan asked while he looked at Raven who was drinking coffee.

Raven just shook her head the asked, "Why?'

"Let's go shopping. I'll buy you clothes for school. I heard that your university don't have uniforms." Jordan said while checking something on his mobile phone.

"There's no need. I had many clothes already." Raven answered simply. She was quite confused right now. Jordan seemed to be in a good mood.

'I should probably cook more food for him later.' She thought with a subtle smile as she remembered the saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Raven's eye widened with what she was thinking right now and unconsciously pinched her face to wake herself up.

Jordan frowned, "What are you doing? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm okay it's just a habit. I do sometime pinch myself when I'm sleepy." She said smiling.

"Am I too boring to be with?" Jordan asked while looking at her intently.

Raven instantly waved her two hands as a gesture, "No no, it's not you. Maybe it's just cold here."

"Alright, I will call Lou to pick us up here. I will buy you more clothes." Jordan said simply.

Raven pursed her lips but did not refuse.

"How are your meetings so far?" She suddenly asked Jordan to break the silence.

Jordan smiled at her, "Nothing much. What would you like to do for this week? I'll make time for you while I am still here."

Raven raised an eyebrow and answered, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Why? Just tell me what you want to do." Jordan asked still smiling.

Raven smiled excitedly while answering, "Okay, I'll make a list of what we should do while you are here. I'll ask Lou your schedule first to check."

"No, you don't have to ask Lou my schedules. Just give me the lists and I'll be the one to give it to him to check if there will be any conflicts." Jordan explained.

His heart was bursting of joy just seeing Raven smiled like that showing the cute dimples on her cheeks.

They went at the largest mall in the city. Jordan entered an exclusive boutique with branded wears and clothing's for women.

Raven just followed him around. He chose a wide variety of clothes for all four seasons. She was like a model, trying to fit all the clothes while he picked what to purchase and not.

But there was something weird with his choices. Although elegant, classy and very fashionable, but, most of the clothes were at the conservative type. They were all just knee length.

She saw some particular outfits for summer that looks nice and pick it up. It was above her knees.

Jordan seemed to disapprove on it but Raven pouted her lips, "I like these, they look good on me."

"Way too good is not always good. You will attract more attention." Jordan jokingly said.

"What do you mean?" Raven asked subconsciously.

"Father said that I have to make sure you won't attract many suitors so you won't be in a relationship early and run away from him." Jordan explained without even batting an eye.

"What nonsense is that? I'm too young to even think about that?" Raven exclaimed in protest.

Jordan laughed wickedly and said, "Okay I will buy whatever you like as long as you promise not to entertain anyone until you graduate?"

"I will relay it to dad so he will not worry anymore." Jordan added.

Raven's lips curved, "Alright I promised but he doesn't have to worry anyway. Doesn't he trust me? Beside, my priority is to finish my study first. Anyway, I will just call him later."

She was throwing a tantrum and Jordan found it so cute.

"Don't call him about that. He doesn't want to mention it to you directly because he knew you'll get irritated somehow so he asked me instead." Jordan explained while he passed all the clothes Raven chose to the sales lady to be included with the rest of clothes they will buy.
