Her Favorite - Jordan Poole

twenty-three

"Jordan!" Lydia says covering her mouth and trying to hold in her laugh as they sit in Nobu, one of Lydia's favorite restaurants. 

"What?" He asked sipping his drink and admiring her. As the days went on, Jordan was absolutely falling for Lydia ...hard. He always said he loved her but in moments like this, he couldn't imagine life with another woman. 

"You're such an ass!" She says laughing while looking over at him. No man would ever compare to Jordan, she thought to herself. Lydia and Jordan had many ups and downs but it has brought them to where they are now! 

"You're stuck with this ass for life!" Jordan says and Lydia smiles again before taking a sip of her lychee martini. 

"Unfortunately," Lydia jokes crossing her legs and looking at Jordan as he smirks. He moves his chair over to her and rests his hand on her thigh. "Horny motherfucker." Lydia says looking at him as he leaned down her ear. 

"You look beautiful tonight." He says kissing the side of her head and sipping his drink. "Thank you. You look very handsome." Lydia says smoothing her hands over the Armani button-down he wore. 

"Thank you, baby." He says resting his arms over Lydia's shoulder and pulling her close to him. With the busy Nobu restaurant, the couple had been in their own little world enjoying each other's company.

On the other side of the restaurant, a fuming, heated Jade sat at the table with her friends. She sat with her friends as they enjoyed a girl's night! When Jade had been hired at GSW, to her knowledge, Lydia was never in the picture! That's why she made every effort to become friends with Jordan and the rest of the guys because truth be told, she liked Jordan. 

"Can I get you, ladies, anything else?" The waitress comes up to the table. "No. Can we get the check please?" Jade asked and the waitress nods before walking away. 

"Boo! I wanted more drinks!" Her friend says and she rolls her eyes. "You had 3 lemon drops. I think you're good for the night." She jokes and the rest of the table laughs. 

On the other side of the restaurant, after paying the bill, Jordan and Lydia had been ready to head out. 

"What's next big boy?" Lydia asked as Jordan helped her put on her jacket. "It's a surprise baby." He says smiling at her and grabbing her purse from the table and handing it to her. 

"Boo! Tomatoes! Tomatoes!" She says as they interlace their hands and head to the front of the restaurant. Jordan laughed as he lead the way out, keeping Lydia very close behind him. 

Jade's eyes watched the couple head to the front and once she signed the bill, she immediately got up. 

"Where the fuck are you going?" Her friend asks. "I'm going to get some fresh air." She says grabbing her bag and jacket. She watches the couple walk out of the restaurant and she soon follows after. 

"Thanks, man," She hears Jordan say as he handed the valet guy his ticket. "I'll bring your car right out." The valet guy says grabbing Jordan's keys from the safe and walking over to all the lot of parked cars. 

"So you're really not going to tell me where we are going?" Lydia asked looking up at him and he smiles down at her and pecks her lips. "No." She pouts before he kisses her again wrapping his arm around her lower waist. 

"Hey, Jordan!" Jade says coming out of the restaurant. The couple turns around and Lydia's face drops. Jade walks over to the couple and stands in front of them. She looked Lydia up and down before smiling over at Jordan. 

"Oh. Hi Jade." He says still keeping a strong hold on Lydia. He took into consideration, Lydia's feelings toward Jade and did not have time for any problems. Jade was about to go in for a hug but Jordan sticks his hand out to shake. She was surprised at first before taking hold of his hand and shaking it.
