Heartbeat

I found out that Jordan got caught in his birthday suit by his own mother. I have something to tease him with now. Technically it is his own house but his mon does have a point about if his sons turned up then. Marlene kept giving him a stern look during our talk.

It was a long day yesterday so soon as his mom went, we went to bed. It was a long day for me. My body thinks it is five hours later than it is. Now here I am stirring from my sleep. As I open my eyes I realised its morning. We had slept since his mom left us at four pm. I guess I needed that. Once I fully focused that I am awake, I did what everyone does when they sleep somewhere new. WHERE AM I?. Comes to mind? Then I hear Jordan snoring near me. I start to shift myself to get up.

"Where are you going? You aren't going Cinderella on me" he says opening an eye while holding me tighter.

"Nope need the bathroom".

" OK. But come back to bed". He snuggles further under the covers. Like my old friends said on the cruise he loves to hibernate. I go to the bathroom before I get summoned back but that's highly unlikely as he has gone back to sleep. The house is quiet was only the two of us here. I wonder when his sons are back. Am I going to be classed as the evil stepmom? I finish off what I need to do in the bathroom and head back.

I silently shut the bedroom door as I know he is still sleeping. I have to stop the urge to jump on him while he is sleeping OR slap him on his ass as he is now turned over and sleeping in his front. As he had moved he took all the covers with him. Jordan is in his little cocoon. I could wake him up but may find a fist my way. I heard stories. He looks so cute sleeping on his front in his cocoon. But I do want some covers though. I climb back into bed and search for a way to get some covers. But the cheeky minx had purposely wrapped himself up.

"Hey stop hogging the covers and give me some" as I tug at some of the covers. Nothing but just a grunt. "Jordan".

Nothing. He was awake just five minutes ago now he is completely out of it. He isn't a light sleeper as I'm pulling at the covers. He isn't shifting. I look over at him and his face is turned away from me. I lean forward over his sleeping frame. I trace a finger behind his ear and along there back of his neck. Nothing, not even a shiver as I run a finger along the back of his neck. I move my finger towards his nose and yes he is still sleeping. Then I use my thumb and finger to squeeze his nose to wake him up.

" Jordan wake up. I want some covers too" as I squeeze his nose a little harder. He makes a funny noise and still doesn't wake up. "Really Jordan. I know you can sleep anywhere but I need some covers". I really want some more sleep too. Is this what's going to happen every time he is here and not on tour?. Just hogging all the blankets. I am going to have another one for tonight. I can't go through this every time I leave the bed. " Jordan, I want to have some covers too so I can sleep".

I grabbed some more of the blanket and pulled a little harder. Maybe a little too hard as I heard a thump as I covered myself. I chuckled when I heard an 'oww'.

"Why am I on the floor?". Came a sleepy voice.

I don't see him get up but I do feel him get back on the bed still moaning and groaning about landing on the floor in a heap. I didn't think I pulled that hard, did I?

" Really why?".

"You know why bedsheet hogger".

" Why are you complaining? I'm the one who ended up on the floor".

"And that's your fault" I reply "And your pregnant girlfriend also needs her beauty sleep. Which doesn't help when said boyfriend hogs all the covers as she leaves to go to the bathroom".

"Time out. What do you mean boyfriend and girlfriend? I am missing something here" he asked with a worried look on his face.

"No".

" Then why call me your boyfriend, aren't I, your fiance".

"Easier to say when annoyed cos you stole all the covers" now I snuggle into the warmth of the bed. "Plus it stopped you complaining about landing on the floor".

"Hey, no fair. I want in too" he whines.

I grab the covers tightly over me and close my eyes. I can feel him tugging at them. He slowly finds a way to get in as I can feel the warmth of his body against mine.

"Are we staying here all day?" he asks snuggling up. "I want too".

" Mmm".

"If mom popped in yesterday. God knows who is going to drop by. If not you will meet them all at the weekend. Honest they aren't that bad".

"I'm still worried about what they think," I say with my eyes closed. 

"The most important thing is that I love you. My mom does cos you make me so happy" he says into my neck. "You make me so happy".

"I can't believe she knew about our announcement before we even told anyone".

"She has always been like that. It's a grandmother thing. Done it since I can remember" he says "You are coming even if I and Jon have to drag you there". 

I don't say anything just lay there. This is how we spent the day just lying in bed in each other's arms. I can feel him slowly breathing in my neck as he falls asleep again. I told you he could sleep anywhere, anyhow and quickly. I still feel unease with this whole moving over here, meeting his family, even living in his house. It still feels like a dream and I am still in Miami on a cruise ship. But I am not, I am actually living the dream. Here I lay in the arms of my fiance, Jordan. A dream fantasy that every fan had for thirty-odd year's. But at the weekend I will meet his family. I am not sure about it. Now, will this involve his sons? Are they going to be there or not?...
