"Yeah some of it I guess" Jordan replied   walking toward Steph as he  ran his hands down it. Steph stood  grinning  like a little kid as she  took  his hand.
"I can't believe you would think this was so great" Jordan chuckled  looking around
"Are you kidding me"
Jordan  shrugged in disbelief. He still couldn't believe that someone would consider what he did talent. Jordan  was still used being made  to prove himself so much it was a change to have someone actually in awe of him.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah a little" Steph admitted   still looking around.
"Well then let me cook you my specialty" Jordan  grinned 
"You cook?" Steph  scoffed as she followed him down to the kitchen
"Yep the best way" he grinned at her and pulled out his cell phone. "Yeah I need to order two pizzas"
She laughed, smacking his  chest playfully . " You even have them on speed dial"
"Yep" Jordan scoffed   "want a beer?" he asked  gesturing  to the fridge
"Yeah sure" she shrugged , walking around taking in the patio.
Jordan found himself laughing  with Steph  like he never had before with anyone. They sat out on the patio and drank beer , eating  pizza as the day diminished. He told jokes as she told him funny stories about her work  as Jordan  laughed until his sides ached. He watched the sky blacken and wondered if they were going to get a storm.
The beer was going to her head. Steph  still couldn't believe that she here with him   doing this,  as she finally found her way to the downstairs bathroom. Steph   finally  began relaxing  with Jordan gl. Steph would never believe her dream of being with him doing anything would happen much less sitting here  actually drinking beer and eating pizza with Jordan while he told the worst jokes she had ever heard. This was unbelievable she thought again as she headed back outside. The sky  darkened  in the short amount of time she had been in.
"Looks like a storm" Jordan said with a gesture of his beer.
"Oh great" She said plopping down beside him "I just love storms" she said sarcastically. The wind kicked up as  Steph  shivered under Jordan's jacket . Jordan reflexively put his arm around her and pulled her in close.
"We can go in and watch a movie" he whispered in her ear.
She stiffened. His breath on her neck stirred something inside her and she was fighting the urge to turn her head and kiss him. She sat back a little bit and turned around. Their noses were almost touching. She locked eyes with him for a moment and she could still see the heat that she has saw their first night together.
"What is this the happy couple on a date?" she said softly
"God I so wish" he whispered back with such longing emotions immediately rose in her chest. He wrapped his arms around her and she stiffened thinking that he was going to kiss her but he just pulled her into a steadying hug.
The wind gusted again as Steph pulled away to grab the pizza box which was trying to fly away.
"How about that movie?" Steph wondered out loud  as she grimaced as lightening  flashed in the sky. Jordan stared at the ceiling of the bedroom as his mind raced. He had no idea what he was doing. They just spent an incredible night together. At any other time in his life he wouhtld be jumping with excitement that he had found someone like this, someone like her. Jordan curled up on his side silently  watching the rain splatter on the window. Tonight was so great, so normal. He was just a normal guy and she was just a woman. they had a typical date night. He grinned into the night. He  really never met a woman that was just as comfortable chilling on a stormy night as she was running around backstage getting ready for a show. His heart ached again. She was so perfect. Jordan sighed to himself, all he ever needed and wanted. He rolled back onto his back again and pulled at his hair. She was down the hall sleeping in god knows what or maybe nothing at all. Telling Steph he loved her felt so right especially when she reciprocated his love. Jordan was doing his best to give her space , not forcing that she be in his bed with him. Right now like he wanted. Steph was teaching him to be more open to not being as selfish with their relationship as he had been.Jordan knew they moved fast especially being married to other people.Jordan  felt his middle pulse as he remembered her naked beneath him. He shifted again. He had to stop this, he had to get that out of his mind. Jordan  rolled over  punching at his pillow. God he had never wanted anyone this much in his life. He kept finding excuses to touch her, to just be near her. Her smell, god, she smelled so damn good. He remembered Steph snuggling into him when she got scared during  the movie. Her hair smelled like vanilla and so did she. Thunder clapped overhead again just as  Jordan wondered if he should go check on her. He actually got up  crossing  the room before he stopped himself. He shouldn't do this. He shouldn't put her in this situation. It was hard enough on her . Jordan realized he  was just making it worse. He needed to just be content with her in his life at the moment and not do anything to push her away. Her life must be complicated enough without him adding to it. Jordan walked  back over to the bed , laying down. Jordan wasn't sure he would ever sleep but eventually the sound of the soft rain on the windows lulled him into sleep. Steph  woke with a start as the thunder clapped around her. Sitting  up Steph looked around the vast room. She wasn't sure what was worse being this close to Jordan or at this moment, she thought as the thunder rumbled again, being this far away from him. She got up , slid the button up she always slept in over her thin white tank top.  Slipping  on some shorts over her underwear Steph found her way across the vast house. The lighting flashed casting shadows all over the walls.
