(Jordan's Perspective)
I've somehow managed to arrange for Nina to be picked up and brought to where we're in the recording studio. Me and the guys are busy recording for the next album. Even though she is a fan, she's more than that to me. She's a really special woman who I'm enjoying getting to know and enjoy spending time with.
Ever since I first met her, I found myself attracted to her but for some reason, my walls came up and kept her at arm's length. Jon would get annoyed with me because he could tell that I really liked her and that she liked me too. No doubt she probably thinks I was scared because of her being disabled which was far from the truth. I was scared of letting anyone in after my last relationship where she cheated on me. I'm sure the fans thought it was me that was playing away with other women but it was the opposite. I knew her from when we were kids so it hurt like crazy having to deal with her constantly cheating on me. It sucks. What can I do?! I feel like I can trust Nina and I hope that we can fall in love with each other, and live happily ever after. Okay, I'm cheesy and I would never count myself as a romantic but maybe I can try to be better, especially for Nina.

I'm already at the studio and checking out my outfit for the last time. Joey comes into the changing room to pick something up and notices me in front of the mirror. "Looking good there, J!" I glance towards him. "You think so? I don't want Nina to think I'm some sort of scruff." I mutter, anxiously. "Nah mate, I don't think the word scruff would even enter her mind when it comes to you! Every time she looks at you, she looks like she's ready to eat you up." I feel my cheeks blush. "Cheers Joe!" Then he disappears. I remember Jon saying to me that Phoenix was telling him how Nina has a thing for guys who wear all black so that was my thought process when I picked out this outfit. I love how it looks on it. Shows off my pecs. Yep, fingers crossed she'll definitely be impressed!

It's not long before Nina is due to arrive and I'm doing a bit of warm up in the recording booth. I certainly don't want to humiliate myself in front of Nina if I can't get my vocals right.
"Jordan... what time is she supposed to be arriving?" Jon calls through the connecting mic. "About eleven?" I lift my arm up to check my watch. Crap! It's only ten minutes away, so I leave the booth and tell the guys and studio crew that I'll be asap. I jog my way to the front entrance and hover until I see Nina pulling up curb side.

Ahh there she is. I can see her through the window. Phoenix is unloading the wheelchair from the car boot and Beatrix is helping Nina climb out of the vehicle. I notice the confusion on Nina's face when she spots the sign that I know is placed on the wall outside by the front door. I'd already arranged with Phee and Bea for me to stay here so she wouldn't be expecting me to standing here waiting for her.

I purposely sit down behind the reception desk and wait for Bea to speak. I know for certain that she can only see the very top of my head as the desk is fairly high. "Hi, I'm with Nina and we've come to see an album recording in studio three." Bea is managing to not laugh or let it be known that she's talking to me and I'm having to stifle my on own laughter. I pretend to use the phone and use some fake voice. "Hi, yes, should I bring them through now?" Phoenix starts coughing which I'm assuming he's trying to hide his laughing at my awful fake voice. I place the phone back down. I duck slightly and then as soon as I'm stood in front of Nina, I stand up fully. "Right this way, Nina." It doesn't seem to register to her at first and when it does, she literally screams the place down. "Omg Jordan?! What on earth is going on? And that voice, was that you?" She starts laughing. I lean down to hug her and kiss her on the lips. "I wanted to surprise you and here we are! Don't ask about that stupid voice, it was embarrassing." I ask Nina if she'd like me to push her to which she says yes. I lead the way to the studio.

As soon as I wheel her into the main studio, I kneel down beside her; taking her hand in mine

As soon as I wheel her into the main studio, I kneel down beside her; taking her hand in mine. "Wow! I've always wanted to go inside one of these. J, how did you know that?" She beams when she looks at me. "A certain someone may have let it slip to my brother and I thought I could make it happen for you." I watch as she glances around. Now she looks at me. "Thank you Jordan. You really are so thoughtful." I kiss her on her forehead. "Anything for you baby. I need to start doing some vocals in the booth, now I'd love it if you wanted to sit by my producer over there by the equipment and you can listen whilst watching through the window there." My producer' Colby enters and introduces himself to everyone. A few others follow in and everyone is introduced to one another. "I'll be just through the door. Please ask if you need anything, guys. Or ask Jon when he comes back in."
I sit myself on the stool as I read through my lyrics getting ready to start singing. The song I'm doing is called Change My Ways. Here I go, I hope Nina likes it.
"No other woman get to me the way you do
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Make me your lover
I'll make your dreams come true
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you"

"No other woman get to me the way you doBaby I would change my waysIf I could be with youMake me your loverI'll make your dreams come trueBaby I would change my waysIf I could be with you"

I watch her through the window and her gaze is set firmly on me. She's listening to my words with intent. I mean every word I sing. I want to be her lover, her boyfriend, her everything. I know it's still early days and maybe I can take her back to my place tonight. No, I'm determined to make her be my girlfriend, if she'll have me. I'll see if Jon can get Phoenix to go to my place and decorate it all romantic for us and I will order a bouquet for her to arrive tonight after we get home. My aim is to make her feel like she's my queen and the most important person in my life, which she has become in such a short amount of time.
