...
Once he got off the phone with Dahlia, Jordan decided to take a nap. He hadn't gotten much sleep on the drive into town, so he figured he could rest for a little while before tonight's practice.
After about two hours, Jordan woke up feeling recharged, and hungry.
He slipped on his shoes and went over to the bathroom door, where he heard the faucet running.
"Aye, dude, I'm starving! Let's go get some food."
Jordan walked back over to his bed, noticing a sub-sandwich and a large bottle of water on his bedside table. Next to it was a napkin, with a big red J written along with a heart.
Jordan's eyebrows twitched in confusion and as he slowly walked back over to the bathroom door, he could hear the water being turned off.
"Yo, Marcus! I like you and all, and you're my boy, but, this... I'm not into you like that, bro!"
Jordan chuckled, wondering what his roommate could be up to, but all of that was cast aside when the door was opened, revealing Dahlia, who was smirking devilishly up at Jordan.
"Doll...?"
"Hi, Jordy."
"Don't you dare wake me up."
Jordan pulled Dahlia in, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her in like she was seconds from slipping away.
His lips found hers a second later, and when Dahlia's feet left the ground, Jordan gripped her legs, wrapping them around his body.
He pinned her against the nearest wall as his mouth continued to dominate hers, only pulling away when he absolutely needed a breath.

"What are you doing here?"
Dahlia smiled shyly as she shrugged.
"We missed our boys."

After defeating their opponents 27-13 the next evening, Jordan and Marcus took Dahlia and Kat out for a fancy dinner in the middle of the Strip.
The quartet had all just finished their meals, and after declining any dessert Marcus had a bottle of champagne ordered for the table.
Everyone at the table eyed Marcus suspiciously before Dahlia voiced everyone's thoughts.
"Bottle of champagne...? Is there a special occasion?"
"Well, there will be..."
Everyone in the restaurant seemed to stop and watch as Marcus rose from his chair and walked around to Kat's side of the table. He took her hand as he dropped down to one knee, pulling a ring out from his shirt pocket.
"If Kat says yes..."
✨
"Okay, I know I've said it a few times in the past hour or so, but you sure are one hell of a maid-of-honor."
Dahlia smiledas she rubbed the alcohol pad against Kat's freshly uv-painted blue toenails.
"Seriously, Lia. You're the best."
Dahlia shook her head, setting the nail supplies off to the side before standing up and stretching.
"We just lucked out, with this wedding chapel, I mean. Definitely leaving a 5-star Yelp review. Now, come on. Let's get you in this dress."
"We still didn't find a 'something new'."
Dahlia watched the excited look on Kat's face begin to fall as she stepped into her dress. Dahlia bit her lip as she zipped Kat's dress up, not wanting to ruin the surprise, and was lucky that a knock on the door stopped any further conversation.
Dahlia walked over to the bridal-suite door and opened it, to reveal Jordan standing on the other side in a crisp button-down shirt and a fitted pair of jeans. He was holding a small black matte bag.
"For the bride, from the groom."
As Dahlia took a little peek into the bag, Jordan's eyes scanned Dahlia, and at that moment, all he wanted was to rip off the little pink dress she was wearing off and find different ways to make her scream his name. But he knew they couldn't-- their friends needed them.
"You look fucking amazing, by the way."
Dahlia looked up from the bag, noticing Jordan's amorous gaze as his eyes trailed up her body.
"Don't start, Jordy. At least not until we get those two married."
Kat barrelling towards the front door with a frantically excited look on her face was enough to let Jordan know...
"Alright, Ms. Kit... let's get you hitched."
Kat looked at Jordan with a confused expression on her face before she turned to a grinning Dahlia, who was holding up the little black bag.
"I believe your future husband got you your 'something new'."
