"Why wouldn't you be upset?" Jordan asked curiously as he watched her. It was almost like he was no longer sitting there beside her. Steph looked over at him just staring. She looked like she wanted more than anything to tell him something but couldn't. Jordan watched Steph open her mouth as if she was going to say something , then she just shook her head.
"Stephi?" Jordan spoke softly questioningly
"What" she almost gasped
"Listen I understand if you don't want to come with me" Jordan mumbled not being able to hide the dejection in his voice as he looked back down at the floor.
"Are you kidding me?!" Steph gasped jumping up trying on some fake enthusiasm.
"Really?" Jordan asked in shock as he scrambled up to stand beside her. Her reliance absolutely shocked him .
"So when does the plane leave?"
Jordan laughed softly . He could see the heart ache in her eyes but she was covering it up like a pro.
"Whenever you want" he said gesturing to the gate he had come from.
Jordan laughed at her confused look. "I am using a friend's plane, so it's ready when you are"
"A private plane" Steph mumbled as she looked at him with awe.
Jordan noticed a small bit of happiness reemerge in her eyes.
"Yeah" he said smiling at her new curiosity
"Well let's get the hell out of here then" she said pulling his arm into hers as he picked up her bag.
Jordan held her hand as they walked out of the gate to the waiting plane. Bubba was standing beside the steps waiting for them. She let go of Jordan's hand to give him a big hug. He winked at Jordan as he made his way up the stairs. When he boarded the plane Chad was giving her a hug and showing her to her seat.
"I can't believe this a private plane" she whispered over to him as she rubbed the rich leather of the chair.
Jordan smiled from the seat beside her
"Yeah it's good to have friends in high places" he whispered back with his hand up to his mouth as if they were having a secret conversation. She laughed this time and he could tell it was genuine. She looked at him with a grin.
"What?" Jordan smirked shrugging
Steph shook her head and stifled her renewed giggles.
"Oh come on now what?" he said grabbing her hand
"I was just thinking this must be the new white horse for today's prince charming" Steph scoffed actually laughing this time.
Her comment sent a curious thought through him. She thought of him as her prince charming? Jordan wasn't sure what that meant but the thought excited him.
"Jordan?" Stephi asked waving a hand in front of his face
"Huh" he said shaking his head to clear it.
She was smiling over at him and his heart swelled. She was so beautiful and he wanted her so much he couldn't stand it.
"Man what was all the concentration about?" She teased grinning
He chuckled "Just trying to imagine myself as a prince charming"
"Oh sorry" Steph murmured her face flushing
"I didn't mean to" she whispered attempting to turn away
"Oh no, no" Jordan interjected "I kind of like the thought" he admitted smiling .
She grinned.
"Well that's what you are" Steph assured him as she linked her arm in his, laying her head on his shoulder. Jordan brushed her hair out of her face and before he knew it she relaxed against him , asleep.
"Stephi" Jordan murmured as he shook her shoulder
"What" Steph almost shouted as she jumped up out of the seat.
"We're here baby " Jordan said giving her a strange look.
"Oh right" Steph replied nervously as she gathered her things.
Chad was nice enough to give them a ride to Jordan's house.
Stephi gestured out the window "Why does it always have to rain when I come here" she said as the wind blew.
"It's not raining yet" Jordan said rolling down the window
"Yeah but it looks like it could pour any minute" Chad replied looking through the windshield.
He dropped them off giving Stephi strict orders to accompany Jordan to the studio on Monday. She laughed as he drove away.
"So you want our traditional meal" Jordan smirked waving his cell at her.
She shrugged laughing "Sure "
They walked into the living room Jordan put in a movie as they sat, ate and drank. Steph was pulling off the top of her second beer when Jordan poked her in the arm. "I thought you didn't drink beer"
"Ow" Steph exaggerated pulling away from him
