Shit ! Maybe it was Laura? Steph opened it. There were two, One was indeed from Laura the other was unexpected. She replied to  Laura first telling he  to come up because she was still  very much wide awake. Asking her  to bring a wine cooler up hoping it would knock her ass out for the night. The second was from Jordan 
Jordan “Nah not too late you’re not the only one who had a shit day” 
Steph couldn’t help herself hoping this wasn’t someone fucking around she was beyond done playing juvenile games but curiosity won out.
Steph replied before she could stop herself. She hoped it wasn’t some asshole playin games with her because she would feel like a complete dumbass.
Steph  ”Why was your day shitty?’

Laura made it up to Steph’s apartment with the wine cooler just as a reply came in.
”Drink up.Dad told me about the shit day” she told her handing her a bottle of blueberry lemonade.
”Who’s that?” Laura asked looking over Steph’s shoulder. Steph simply  shrugged
“He claims to be  Jordan” she said as doubt filled  her voice .
Laura grabbed her phone 

Steph “If you're lying I’m gonna throat punch you”
 
Laura sent him with a caption identifying herself at the end.
”What the fuck did you just do?” Steph asked her.
”Calling his ass out “ Laura smirked.
Jordan ”I can assure you it’s me and no need to throat punch anyone “ .

”No fuckin way “Laura choked on her drink.
”Yea I’m wonderin when the punchline is comin” Steph admitted after taking a long pull on her bottle.
Tiffany came out of her room at that moment. Having heard some of the conversation she looked at Laura
“What did you do?”
“I called his ass” Laura admitted. ”If it’s someone playin around that's pretty fucked up considering what you guys have been through already” she explained to  Tiffany.
”It’s him.”Tiffany assured them
”And you know this how?” “Laura challenged.
Tiffany grabbing  her mother’s phone  began scrolling until  she found what she was looking for and hit the call button. It rang several times. Just as it was about to go to voicemail a familiar  deep  ,husky male voice answered. Steph’s hand flew to her mouth as Tiffany tried to hand her the phone.
She immediately hit end.
Her phone  buzzed with a message.

Jordan ”My day was shitty because I didn’t get to see you …Why’d you  hang up on me?!”
Laura’s eyes widened “Fuck “
Tiffany stood there smirking
“No one ever listens to me “she complained. She looked at her mother “Better answer that unless you still  think it’s still some bullshit game.”
Steph sighed deeply embarassed. ”Yea yea”she grumbled.

Steph ”Sorry about that can’t be too careful. How’d you get my number anyway?”
As soon as she sent it she glared at her daughter ,knowing the answer.
”Did you?”
Tiffany nodded.
Jordan ”Well now you can add my number to your phone “

She was  still extremely skeptical 

Steph “Why are you doing this ?” 

Jordan ”Because your daughter told me a lot about you and I figured I could bring some happiness into your life”

She sat thinking for a little while  wondering if it was the tiredness or the alcohol kicking in but she hoped someone wasn’t playing a cruel joke. Unsure of how to reply Steph let  the words of his message play around in her head just as her phone vibrated again
Jordan I know you have an early day tomorrow ..well today .You’re probably exhausted. I’ll let you rest for tonight .I’m serious about all of this. Sweet dreams <3
