Love isn't always enough A Jordan Knight/ Joey McIntyre fanfic

Chapter 82: Off to Cali

The next morning Steph and Joe had showered after their long night of passion fill lovemaking. Neither had slept they decided they would drop Michelle off at the airport and then return home to sleep. 

Griff and Kira had gone to their cousins last night and wouldn't be home until tomorrow. Stefan had gone home with his dad, so they had the entire house to themselves and made very good use of it all night long.

They loaded into Joe's car and went to the airport. When they arrived, Mark was there and was talking to Jordan.

Jordan looked at Mark, "Let's see how the lovely couple looks this morning. Good night's rest or no sleep at all because they were too busy fucking all night. I bet you one thousand dollars they look like hell. Stopped with just enough time to shower and get ready."

"Surely not. I mean, they had a long day yesterday. I'm sure she passed out when they went home."

"Bet? I was married to her for six years. Trust me, they went all night long." 

"Okay, one thousand; she looks rested."

When Joe parked the car, Steph and Joe stepped out. Michelle ran to the trunk. Joe looked like he hadn't slept, and Steph was still beautiful, but she had bags under her eyes where she hadn't slept. 

Jordan looked at Mark, "she doesn't look well-rested to me. She looks exhausted as if she's had no sleep. Because she hasn't, and look at Joe hasn't slept either. I know everything there is to know about Stephanie. I know her looks, I know her plans, and I know how she is in bed."

"Damn, Jordan. You still have it bad for her, don't you?"

"Of course, I was or, I am in love with her. I have been since I was fifteen, but I broke promises and hurt her. She divorced me and moved on to Joe. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife, but I could never love anyone like I love Stephanie."

"Morning, guys," Joe said as he walked over with Michelle's bags.  

"Morning, Joe; you look like you had a rough night. Everything alright?" Mark asked.

"Oh, yea, everything is perfect, yea we haven't slept yet. We spent the night showing each other how much we love each other."

"Yea, what playing Yahtzee?"

"No, more like twister. You know those crazy positions you get in with that game?"

"I told you, man. I know her looks," Jordan said as he smirked. 

Mark grabbed his phone, "what's your cash app tag?" 

"Dollarsign Sklover70." He said as he smiled.

Everyone looked at Jordan because they knew what Sk meant. Steph walked over with Michelle they were hugged up together. 

"Hello, beautiful ladies," Mark said.

"Morning, Uncle Mark."

"Morning, Marky Mark."  

"You know you are the only one that can still call me that?"

"I know, Mark please keep an eye on my baby. Make sure she stays safe and doesn't get into any trouble."

"I will, Stephanie. She is family, and I am going to treat her as if she is my own daughter. I promise you that."

"Thank you, I am trusting you with one of the most important people in my life. She is my own flesh and blood. I know how crazy people drive in Los Angeles."

"Not all drive bad, but yes, there are crazies everywhere, even here in Boston. Steph, I will make sure she is safe. I am shooting starting tomorrow, but I will go by every day and check on them."
