Sailing in Endearment

Chapter 4

Despite only meeting Jordan yesterday, I felt like I've known him forever. His dorky sense of humor and amazing personality was just perfect. And I really hope he feels the same about me.

Later on at the sushi restraunt I met Jordan's mysterious friend named Nick Fenton. Apparently Nick had his own YouTube channel he didn't really use often, but helped Jordan edit his videos.

"So when did you meet?" I asked them

"A while back we were at this event thing where you skateboard in real life for half of the event then the other half you are virtually skateboarding." Nick told me.

"I've never skateboarded before." I told Jordan. There was a little part inside of me that hoped Jordan would offer to teach me.

"No that's a lie, J." Em said. "You tried and you were shit at it. I remember clearly you getting a concussion because you fell on the sidewalk and Grandpa was so pissed because you didn't want to wear your helmet." She laughed. I felt my face burning.

"That was years ago, Em." I reminded her. She shrugged.

"It still happened."

"If you want to learn I could teach you if you want." Jordan offered. Remember that piece inside of me that wanted this exact event to happen? Well it's now screaming inside of me yelling "YES YES YES".

"Nah, it's fine. Sports aren't really my thing." I told Jordan. I mentally face-palmed myself. I am such an idiot sometimes.

"Alright, but of you ever want to learn, just ask. I've been skating since I was four."

"Okay! Thanks!"

Emelee started telling us who she met and what she did at the convention today, but I was looking at Jordan's eyes. They were perfect. He was actually very handsome. He didn't seem to care much about his appearance "because all he does is hide behind a computer all day", but he still manages to look spectacular. Maybe it was just a one time thing. Maybe he was just having a good week. But he was really amazing.

He was smiling at the story that Em was telling then looked over at me. Normally I break eye-contact with people, but I couldn't look away from Jordan. It was nice to look into someone's eyes and have them look back into yours with care. He seemed like he really liked me, which was a good thing because I really liked him as well.

"Are any of you even listening any longer?" Emelee frowned.

"Yeah, yeah, carry on." I told her so she wouldn't complain. But I still didn't listen to her. I just kept on looking at Jordan.

Before I knew it, Em and I had to go. I said goodbye to Jordan and we set up a spot to meet each other tomorrow. I was so excited to meet him again!

"You shithead." Emelee said when we got back to the hotel room.

"Hey, what the hell did I do to you?" I replied.

"It's not a matter of what you did to me, it's a matter of what you did to yourself you idiot." She snapped back at me.

"Fill me in, please. I do not have a clue about what you are talking about."

"I set you up a chance for Jordan to take you out on a cute date AND YOU FUCKING MISSED IT YOU HAD THE CHANCE AND YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT YOU ARE REALLY STUPID SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THAT?" She yelled.

"Just wait, do you actually care about me hooking up with the guy I like for once in my life?" I asked her.

"HELL YES I DO. IT'S THE CAPTAIN OF SPARKLEZ MY BLOG IS DEDICATED TO AND I WANT HIM TO BE MY BROTHER-IN-LAW OKAY IF I CAN'T BE MARRIED TO HIM BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH HIM AT LEAST I WOULD LIKE HIM TO BE RELATED TO ME! I WANT YOU TO MARRY HIM AND HAVE CHILDREN YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN BRO?! YOU NEED TO MARRY THE FINE AND HANDSOME BASTARD!" She yelled.

"Emelee pipe the fuck down" I quoted Jenna Marbles, "I understand and from the bottom of my heart, I can honestly say I am deeply sorry for passing up the chance you had so nicely laid out for me to go on an adorable date. Apology accepted?" I said in the sweetest voice possible.

"Apology accepted man, now go call up the handsome beast and get yourself a hot date with him teaching you to skateboard." She said and tossed my phone at me.

I picked up my phone and dialed Jordan's number.

"Hey Jesse, what's up?" He answered.

"I'd like to take up your offer on teaching me how to skateboard, as per my sister's request." I told him.

"Well sure, I have my skateboard here with me now. I could teach you tonight, if you really want." he told me.

"Oh, for sure! I'd love to!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, so I will meet you at your hotel in ten minutes?" He asked me.

"Of course, see you then I guess!"

You too!" He responded then hung up.
