A Little More Love (Jordan Witzigreuter / The Ready Set)

Chapter 12 - "Jordan Has A Girlfriend"

"So, when are the guys supposed to be getting here," I asked. It was the next morning and I was standing in the kitchen with Travis, peeling a banana while he refilled his bowl with Lucky Charms for what must've been the 5th time now.

Travis rolled his eyes, "Jordan, will be here in a few minutes. But he's here for band practice, not to make out with you."

"Hey," I playfully hit his arm. "I never said anything about making out, I just wanted to know when they we're coming. I have work anyway so you don't have to worry about me being a distraction."

"Oh thank god," Travis sighed. I stuck my tongue out at him. "I really don't spend all afternoon trying to pull him off of you."

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I ran to answer it but when I swung open the door it was only Mike. "Hey, come on in," I said trying not to sound disappointed. "Travis is in the kitchen." Mike gave me a nod and headed for the kitchen. I heard a car door slam shut and peeked out the window to find Jordan's car in the driveway. There was a knock at the door and this time when I opened it, it was exactly who I was hoping for.

"Hey cutie," Jordan grinned, his eyes sparkling.

"Nope, sorry no liars allowed inside," I said, pretending to slam the door in his face.

"Then how'd you get in," he chuckled, squeezing his way through the door.

I took his face in my hands and pulled it down towards mine. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his. He kissed me back, our lips locking together. I let my hands drop to his shoulders and he put his own on my hips. I felt Jordan lips move away from mine as he smiled into the kiss.

Travis cleared his throat from the kitchen, "We can see you."

I pulled away from Jordan, my cheeks instantly turning a bright red. I covered my face with my hands, hoping Mike didn't see too much of that. Then I realized, the other guys had no idea anything was going on between Jordan and I. "Are you gonna tell them?" I whispered.

"About what?" Jordan asked.

"You know, us," I said sheepishly.

He giggled, "If it comes up then yeah, and lets face it, it's gonna come up."

"I figured," I chuckled. "Look I hate to leave but I've gotta go to work. I'll be back later tonight though I promise."

"You're always working though," Jordan whined.

"I work like 3 times a week," I laughed.

"I know, but I'll miss you," he said lowly, stepping closer to me.

"I'll miss you too, but I really do have to go now," I gave him a sorry look.

He kissed me one last time, "Bye baby."

"Bye," I giggled. I went out through the front door, thanking god I already had my phone and keys in my pocket, and didn't have to go through the horror of walking back into the kitchen to get them. I waved hello to Deryck as he passed me on his way inside and got in my car, driving to work. 

The bell chimed as I walked into the salon and Juliet looked up from her desk, smiling at me, "Hey, Baily."

"Good morning," I grinned. 

"Why are you so smiley?" she asked, laughing. She knew I usually didn't get happy this early, I needed time to wake up. 

I felt cheeks flush, that was the second time today and it wasn't even 10:30. "Uhh, no reason." 

Juliet rolled her eyes, "Ok who's the boy?"

I blushed yet again and looked away from her, "I um, I really need to go set up my station."
