She never thought she'd have him come back in her life once again. But he had to when she took her new job working for a friend of his.
Holly Portor once was in love with Joey from NKOTB just like any other teen girl in the 80's. Now seeing him bac...

"Holly what is the issue?" Jordan whispers to me when he was about to go on lunch break that day.
"Joey KISSED me" I stammer. His eyes grow wider.
"Well what do you want me to do about that?" he laughs as he shakes his head.
"I am supposed to be YOUR girl. Here he is sneaking in on me! You should be doing...SOMETHING!" I snap at Jordan as I smack the side of his arm. "You are not being a good boyfriend"
"Sorry" he laughs. Suddenly Joey walks by us on the stage. Jordan surprises me by taking me into his arms. He kisses me! I try to protest but his lips were already smack on mine. This was not really what I had in mind for him to do! He kisses me. His lips graze over my own. He was not a bad kisser. He never really was a bad kisser. He was just not Joey.
"Jordan!" I whisper after he finishes kissing me as he pulls me back up.
"What do you think you are doing?" I demand to know.
"Helping you out. That is what you wanted?" he laughs.
"You are so bad" I giggle. I smack him playfully. He grins. My cheeks grow red. Joey comes over to us.
"Hi guys. I have a question for you" he says to us.
"Sure" I say as I pull away from Jordan.
"I have a date tonight. I met the girl on the boat. I am nervous. Could you guys come along? We could you know be a double date?" Joey wants to know.
"What?" I stammer. He had a date already? Why was I not surprised by this?
"Sure Joey we can meet up for dinner tonight" Jordan makes the mistake of saying.
"Great!" Joey tells us before walking off.
"Why did you do that?" I snap at Jordan.
"Because I thought you wanted me to make Joey think we are a real pair" he tells me.
"That does not mean I want to see him out on his DATE" I snap.
"Sorry" sighs Jordan.
"I can cancel. Say I am feeling under the weather" I tell him thoughtfully.
"Then he will think we are lying if you cancel" warns Jordan. True.
"Well boss I guess we have a date" I grumble.
"It will be alright. Wait and see" he vows. I sigh. I really did not want to see Joey on a date. Kissing a girl. Dancing with a girl. I saw enough of that to last me a life time. I look over to see Joey chatting with one of the dancers on the stage. She was very pretty. Had light blond hair. Was skinnier than me. My heart sinks.
"Holly you are ten times prettier" Jordan whispers in my ear. He smiles at me as he touches my cheek with his fingers. I wish I had feeling to return to him. This whole mess would be a lot easier. He pulls me in for a hug.
"Why does this have to be so hard" I sigh as I hug him.
"I am glad you are here" he tells me.
"You are?" I ask.
"Yes. You are a great friend to me. I have been wanting to get to know you better Holly. I was hoping the focus was not going to be on Joey. But it is what it is" he sighs.
"I am sorry Jordan" I mutter as I hold him.
"I know. Don't be sorry. We can't change what our hearts want. If we could it would be easy right?" he laughs.
"Right" I sigh.
"Hey guys this is Alexandra. My date for the night. I wanted to introduce her to you" Joey says coming back over to us. With the beautiful blond. She smiles over at us. We all shake hands.
"Pleasure to meet you" she tells me in a French accent.
"Are you American?" wonders Jordan. She shakes her head.
"I am French" she explains.
"Wow" Jordan says.
"I am from France" she tells us.
"You came all the way over here for this?" Jordan asks her. He looks impressed with this girl too. Great.
"I am a huge fan of the Block" she giggles. "I love to dance" she tells him.
"I see" he laughs.
"She is an amazing dancer" Joey explains to us.
"I need to do things back in my room. Jordan if you need me call me alright?" I ask Jordan. I could not take much more of this Alexandra.
No one noticed me leaving. I bolt off to my room. I lay on the bed. My life was a big mess. Now I had a date with my ex. And a hot girl I could not compete with. Tears come to me as I sit there staring up. Why was it so hard for my heart to get over Joey? Why couldn't my heart just let him go?
