With and Without You (A Jordan Knight Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

Jordan was right on time picking her up the next day. He looked very handsome in faded blue jeans and a black tshirt. He had the sleeves of his tshirt rolled up a little, showing off his nice biceps. She dressed comfortable today too. She picked out a short pair of cut off blue jeans shorts and a black tank top. They looked like they had planned out their clothes to match each other. They both laughed when they saw what the other was wearing.

He took her by the hand as he walked her to his car. He opened the door for her. She liked that he was a gentleman, so far anyway. He got into the car and started it up, the music blared and he turned it down quickly. He was listening to Foreigner, one of her favorite bands. She loved this song, I want to know what love is,  I want you to show me, I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me.  She blushed hearing the lyrics and she wasn't sure why. Jordan looked over at her, he smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about that's making you blush that adorable shade of red?"

She couldn't believe he could see that, "I'm not blushing. And I was thinking about kicking your butt in Skee-ball."
He laughed, "So you're thinking about my butt, okay I can handle that. And just so you know, I'm a skee-ball champ. You better bring your A game."

"I think I can handle you at skee-ball, don't you worry about me, sweetie" she said back to him. He thought she was so cute, with that sweet southern accent. "You want to wager on it, make a little bet" he teased. She smirked at him and said, "Sounds like fun, what's the wager you're thinking about"?

Jordan thought about it, "Okay, if I win you have to go out with me again tomorrow night. What do you want if you win"? Vivian sat there thinking for what felt like forever to Jordan. Then she knew exactly what she wanted, "Well if I win, I want you to be my first tonight." Jordan coughed and had to pull the car over and stop. He turned and looked at her, his eyes wide and mouth open. She busted up in laughter, he blinked several times. She continued to laugh, then she said, "Jordan, I'm kidding, I wouldn't do that to you. I'm sorry it was a joke." Jordan cleared his throat and said, "Its okay, I just got a little scared, you know what I said about being a girls first. Not that I wouldn't be honored, but I just couldn't. So what do you really want"?

"I'd want you to sing for me." He smiled.

They stopped at the arcade on the boardwalk first. They decided to get the skee-ball challenge over first. Jordan won. But he did get her a stuffed dog with all their tickets. She couldn't really complain too much, she wanted to see him again. As they walked out of the arcade they saw one of those photo booths that takes four photos on a strip. They both turned to each  other at the same time and said, "You want to...." they both laughed and into the booth.

In the first picture they both stuck out their tongues. The second picture they both did their biggest, cheesiest smiles.  The third picture Vivian kissed him on the cheek and he smiled. In the last picture, Jordan turned to Vivian, he took her face in his hand and turned her to face him. He kissed her on the lips and she kissed him back. They continued to kiss after the flash and they were out of photos. She pulled back from him and held up one finger telling him to hold on for just a second. She dug some money out of her purse and put it in the machine. These fours pictures were just of them kissing each other.  She wanted documented proof of this amazing man and his magical lips.

She couldn't stop looking at those pictures as they ate some boardwalk food. He laughed at her. She said, "What's so funny"?  He smiled at her and said, "Nothing, I just love that you can't keep your eyes off me in those pictures".

"Oh honey bless your heart,  I'm looking at me and how hot I look while you kiss me" Vivian said with a smirk.

"Oh while I kiss you? I'm pretty sure you were kissing me. No actually I'll admit I was kissing you and damn proud of it. I'd so do it again. And again. I'd even do it again after that. Would that be okay with you"? He noticed her skin was flush now. She was thinking about kissing him, he was sure of it. He couldn't help himself now he was thinking about kissing her. His eyes wandered over to her lips, she had the most luscious pair of lips he'd ever seen. She wets her lips with her tongue and then she drags her bottom lip between her teeth. His breath catches as she does this simple action. And he forces his eyes away from her lips back to her eyes. She's looking right at him. She caught him staring at her. She just smiles at him. Damn she's got a sweet smile. This girl is something else. How can she be having this effect on me after just one day? Jordan's thinks.

"So what would you like to do next? We can go to the harbor. See where the Boston Tea Party took place. Or we can do anything you want" he asked her. He took her hand and held it while she got down from her tall chair. He didn't let go of her hand as they walked out of the cafe back onto the boardwalk.

The rest of their day was spent just walking around site seeing and talking.  They talked about his love for music. He talked about how much he loved writing his own songs, the music and lyrics. He loved putting the finished product together. She asks him if he plays instruments and he says he plays the piano and guitar. 

Jordan asks her about why she wants to be a journalist. She tells him she loves to write. She wants to really write. She says one day she wants to be a book author. But she wants to start out as a journalist to get some experience writing first. She says she has always loved to read and has her favorite authors. She hopes one day she will have someone call her their favorite author. She dreams about one day writing an epic story that is loved for generations. But first she'll be happy just getting into college.

Jordan takes Vivian to all his favorite places, including his favorite Italian restaurant for dinner. It was amazing.  Vivian can't remember ever having such a great time. After dinner they went to the beach just in time to watch the sunset. They talk and walk along the beach together. Vivian turns to Jordan and says, "Jordan can I ask you a favor?" He says yes. So she takes his hand and asks him, "Will you please sing me a song"?

Jordan smiled and bowed his head, feeling a little shy. He doesn't know where this feeling came from.  He's been flirting and teasing her all day, hell he's even had his tongue in his mouth. So why is he feeling shy about singing for her? He realizes he cares about what she thinks. What if she doesn't like it? "Okay but you can't laugh if you don't like it." She says "Jordan I'd never laugh at you."

He decides to sing Waiting For a Girl Like You. When he begins she sits down and can't take her eyes off of him. She's mesmerized by him. He's got a beautiful voice and puts his whole heart into the song.

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

He puts so much of himself it makes her emotional.  When he finishes the song, he looks at her and is surprised to see she has tears in her eyes.

"Oh my God, Jordan that was amazing. You are an amazing singer. You will definitely make it big one day. And I'll be able to say I knew you when. I knew I took these pictures for a reason today." Jordan was so glad she like it. He sat down with her and said,  "Thank you so much Viv, that means so much to me"
