Forbidden Secrets (Completed ✅)

Two

"Huh?" Steph lifted her head as she  looked around. The other women were already crowed and chatting animatedly with the guys.
"Was it that bad?" she heard again. This time it was from her left. She looked in that direction and saw the wide smiling face of the massive and exquisitely dressed black guy who had given her the picture earlier.
She gave a nervous laugh "Well I guess I could have passed out in front of him" she said with a slight shrug.
"I have seen it done," He said moving over to stand beside her and face the room.
"Oh I'm sorry" she said angling toward him and sticking out her hand hoping against hope it wasn't dripping with sweat "I am Stephi" she finished with a huge smile. Her checks were starting to ache with all of the smiling that seemed to be warranted.
"Hey, Stephi I am Brian but everyone pretty much knows me as Bubba" He said enclosing his massive hand over hers and gripping it strongly.
"Oh so you are Bubba, It's so nice to finally meet you. I have heard lots of good stuff" She said enthuastically still smiling and hoping to get her hand back soon. He released her hand and smiled back easily.
"Really?"
"Yeah, and I really wanted to thank you for adding a post to the JK- East Coast group, it means more than you know to the women to feel that they are actually acknowledge in all of this." She said with a hand on his arm.
"Oh, you post on the group?" he asked enthusiastically "What is your name there?"
"Its Jkslifesaver" she said with that huge smile again. That must be a nervous response she thought absently as she felt her cheeks cramp. When he raised his eyebrows at her she just laughed and added "don't ask"
"Wasn't going to," He said with a chuckle and his hands raised in an I won't go there gesture. "I will have to get on there tonight and see what you replied to me"
"It was probably just me kissing your butt" she said with a slight chuckle.
"My butt?" he said looking back at his own.
"Sorry, I guess you wouldn't understand that joke" she said with a fake laugh. Way to go dumb ass she mentally smacked herself.
"I really like it over there, it was so nice of Laura to add me on" he said with pride in his voice.
She laughed as his emotion. It was so great to see one of the team actually wanting to communicate with the fans.
"It is really nice over there, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. So much better than the alternative" She added with a roll of her eyes at the chatting women.
He laughed hard and when she cocked her eyes brows at his response he only laughed harder and added "Ok so now you can't ask"
"Wouldn't dream of it, but you have made me curious" she added knowing exactly what he meant.
There was a pause in the conversation that allowed her to notice the music from down stairs and she bounced along. She stopped abruptly when she noticed Bubba's attention shift. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her dream guy start to walk over and her insides froze. She chanced another glance without moving her head and yes, oh god yes, it was him and he was coming straight at her. All time seemed to slow down as she watched him progress to where they stood. She was afraid to move.
"Hey" he said practically to her back and she told herself that he was talking to Bubba. Don't be stupid she said, he was just talking to Bubba, not you. The easiness that her chat with Bubba had created shattered into a million irretrievable pieces. Don't be stupid. Don't say or do anything stupid. She kept reminding herself.
They all just stood there for another moment and the visitor had to actually shift to come into her line of vision.
"Hey" he repeated shyly this time. His earlier confidence was gone at the sight of her reaction. "You haven't introduced yourself yet" he said with his hand out in greeting so she was sure he meant her this time.
"Oh hey" she said with the slightest shake to her voice as she nervously tried to wipe her sweaty hand on her pants without notice.
"It's Stephi," she said grasping his hand and noticing his grip was almost as strong as Bubba's.
"Hey Stephi, I'm Jordan".
Her sarcastic side wanted to say no shit Sherlock, that's why I am here but she slapped that comment down and tried to come off like an average human being that was not about to pass out.
