Jordan's POV

I sit at the dinner table picking at my food awkwardly as silence consumes us, I look up at Mr.Keller who is avoiding eye contact with Josie as she gives him a piercing look

I kick her knee causing her to flinch, she gives me a look and give her one back as I look to my mother who is eating without a care

"Ok can we all just not be awkward about this....yes we saw you two bumping and grinding like this was a club..so what...I mean what is the plan here" I say causing everyone to look at me with two heads

"Jordan's right....and while I wouldn't say it like that...what's happening dad" Kevin says confused and Mr.Keller sighs

"Sierra and I ....we have been in love since high school...or at least we dated and were in love in high school and we still feel that for each other now" He responds

"Aww y'all cute as a peach" I say as I tilt my head against my hands, I feel my mom flick my ear causing me to flinch

"Ow...damn" I say as I hold my ear and Mr.Keller laughs

"Sierra it's ok...Josie...Jordan, I'm not trying to replace your father, I would never try to do that in the slightest but I want...to marry your mother at some point when she and you both are ready" Mr.Keller says and I smile slightly

"Mr.Keller....thank you I...I'm not happy about how you two got together but...just give me some time because this...this is a lot" Josie says hesitantly

"You can replace my dad" I say and my mom sighs as she rubs her forehead, I just give her a cartoony evil smile causing her to laugh and move my face away from her

"All seriousness...I appreciate that speech Mr.Keller...I don't have problem with you two moving forward with your relationship but you gotta worry about the two over there" I say as I point to Josie and Kevin who roll their eyes at me

"Thank you Josie and Jordan....that means more to me then you know" He says and I nod before I start eating again

"Dad...I....I'm ok with it but I need time too...I already miss mom and...this is very sudden" Kevin says

"Kevin sweetheart...like your father said before...I'll never replace or try to replace your mother...I'm more than open for you two to see each other whenever as long as your father is ok with it of course..I won't overstep that boundary" My mom says and Kevin smile at her appreciatively

We all start talking and getting know the backstory of this forbidden love shit with my mom and Sheriff Keller, even though my mom didn't like me asking if they play cop and prisoner

I don't know why...I found it funny

I walk up to my room after dinner and sigh as I fall back in my bed feeling a happy feeling in my stomach, seeing the love my mom and Mr.Keller have....it makes me think

I want that kind of love minus the time gap..I could have that, never thought about how love really works but I feel like it looks like that

My mind goes back to Cheryl and I sigh and go to my phone, I go to my photos and scroll through the many pictures I have of us when we'd hang out, before she got with tOnI

I let out a breath and sit up, I go to Cheryl's contact and feel a nervous feeling take over me

"You can do this...you can do this" I say to myself before tying out a text to Cheryl

Me : Hey Cher..wanna hang out after school tomorrow

I lay back on my bed after tossing my phone at my pillows, I put my hands in my face as my anxiety rises

I never felt this with any other girl, not even Betty

I wait for a few minutes but it feels like an eternity till I hear a ding from my phone, I immediately grab my phone and smile as I read the text from Cheryl

Cherbear💗: I'd love too, pops?

I smile and turn on my stomach as I kick my feet and respond to her text with glee, I close my phone and squeal like a kid

"Your so whipped for her" I hear causing me to turn and see Kevin and Josie standing by the door

"Get out, I'm having a moment" I say dramatically causing them to laugh and come in, I laugh with them and we hang out for the rest the night

I hope tomorrow goes well
