📍Home

The front door opens and walks in, Jordan and Aria after a nice daddy-daughter day together! With the wedding approaching, things had been getting a little more hectic!

"Alright mamas, remember what I told you?" Jordan asked kneeling to his now 5-year-old daughter.

"Don't tell Mommy we had ice cream for dinner," Aria says as Jordan holds up his pinky. "Yes, this stays between us, okay?" He asked and she nods as they pinky promised. He kisses her forehead before they head into the kitchen.

Laughter had been coming from the kitchen as Lydia had been catching up with her college friends, Gabriella and Carmen.

"Hi, Mommy!" Aria says heading straight to Lydia who had been standing in front of the kitchen island while the others had been sitting on the barstools on the other side.

"Hi, baby! Did you have fun with Daddy today?" Lydia asked lifting Aria up and she nods. "We went to the aquarium and I saw all the pretty fishes!" Aria gushes and Lydia smiles.

"She is so cute!" Carmen says smiling at Aria who rested her head on her mom's shoulder. Lydia rubs Aria's back as Jordan approaches her.

"Hi mama," Jordan says leaning down to peck Lydia's lips and she smiles looking up at him. Carmen and Gabriella had heard all the good things about Jordan and seen him play on TV for the Warriors but had never seen him in the flesh.

"Hey baby," Lydia says admiring him before looking over at the girls who smiled at the couple. "This is Carmen and Gabriella. I graduated from college with them." Lydia explains and he smiles over at them.

"Nice meeting you guys. I'm Jordan." He introduces shaking both of their hands and they smile. "Oh, we have heard a lot about you Jordan." Carmen jokes and Lydia smiles.

"I hope all good things." Jordan teased looking at Lydia who smiled at him and continued rubbing Aria's back.

"And this is Aria," Lydia says looking at Aria who is half asleep. "She is tired. We definitely had a long day." Jordan explains taking Aria from Lydia's arms. She wrapped her small arms around Jordan's neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Did she eat?" Lydia asked looking at Jordan who nodded. "We went down to the Pier and ate at one of the restaurants," Jordan explains and Lydia nods. "Did you eat?"

"Yes. After bottomless mimosas, we came back here and sobered up." Lydia explains. "That was so long. You want me to order you food?" He asked Lydia.

"No, it's fine. I'll be fine." Lydia says. Carmen and Gabriella watch as they go back and forth and they smile.

"I'm ordering wings. I'll get her ready for bed and then pick it up after." Jordan finalizes and Lydia nods, finally giving in. "You guys want wings too?" Jordan asked Carmen and Gabriella.

"No, it is fine-"

"He won't stop till you say yes," Lydia informs the girls and they both laugh. "Fine," They both say in unison and Jordan cheers in joy.

"Alright, it's settled wing night for the ladies," Jordan says and Lydia shakes her head. "I'm going to get her ready for bed, okay?"

"Sounds good," Lydia says as Jordan leans down to capture her lips. The kiss was short and sweet but they both yearned for each other touch.

"Nice meeting you ladies," Jordan says before heading out of the kitchen and upstairs with his sleepy daughter.

"Girl!" Gabriella gasped as she sips her wine. "That was hot." Lydia cracks a smile before shaking her head.
