Yours, Now and Forever Book #2(A Jordan Knight Fanfiction)

Ch. 7

Vivian calls her Dad first. To her surprise the kids are still at his house. She talks to both her Dad and the kids, telling them she has some business to take care of in California but will be back before it's time for her to have the kids again. She tells them all she loves them and hangs up to call Jordan.

A little scared to call him, she can't understand why he hasn't picked the kids up from her dad's yet.

She dials his number, after two rings she's sent to voicemail. She leaves a brief message, but calls right back. This time its four rings, then voicemail. She doesn't leave a voicemail this time. She just hangs up and calls him again.

He answers this time, his voice is full of annoyance or maybe anger, "What Vivian, what?"

"I was calling to let you know I have to fly out to California. I've got some work to get done with the film. But I'll be back before it's my time with the kids."

"Okay Vivian, you don't have to inform me of all your comings and goings. Will Orlando be going with you?"

"I don't see why that matters."

He sighs heavily into the phone, "I'm just curious if you'll be traveling alone or if someone will be with you. Will you be staying at the house, I can call ahead and have food and drinks stocked up for you."

"No, I'll probably be staying at a hotel. I don't much care for staying at the house by myself anymore."

"Then have Orlando stay there with you. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

She can't believe he just suggested her having Orlando stay at their house with her. "Jordan, Orlando has his own place in LA, I'm sure he'd rather be at his own place than babysitting me. A hotel will be fine."

"Don't play me for a fool Vivi. I know. I saw you. Kissing him outside your apartment. Leading him inside with you. Please don't try and deny it. I know. If you weren't fucking him before, I know you're fucking him now."

She doesn't know what to say. "Jordan, I'm...I'm... so sorry. How....?" It all comes out as a whisper. Tears begin to fall down her cheeks. She tries to choke back her sobs. She's afraid him hearing her cry will make him think she believes it was a mistake, which she doesn't.

"How? How did I find out? Well after you dropped that bombshell on me and then immediately walked out. I followed you to New York. I couldn't have been more than five or so minutes behind you. But you were kissing Orlando when I pulled up across the street from your building. After you went inside together I got out of my car, thought about coming up. I walked to your lobby door, but turned and went back to my car and I'm almost home now. Well almost to your dads. Have you told them your going to California?"

"Yes I already told them. Jordan, I can wait to go to California. So we can talk about things."

"That's quite alright, I don't want to discuss your affair with Orlando."

"Affair?"

"Yes, affair. You know like Adultry? You are still legally married to me. Not that I'm holding that against you. I get it. I understand why you did it. I pushed you right into his arms. But I hope you don't think I'm giving up on us. I'll never give up. We are meant for each other. You know this better than anyone."

Inside Vivian feels happy that he still wants her. Knowing he still loves her and still considers them meant to be makes her feel so good. But on the outside she hides it. "I've got to go J, I'll call you when I'm back in New York. Goodbye."

"I love you Viv." Jordan whispers as she hangs up. Hearing this makes her heart constrict. Knowing he loves her and hearing it from his lips has two totally different effects on her heart. The pain she felt at hearing those words makes her feel sick to her stomach and she has to close hers eyes and concentrate not to be physically ill.

"You okay, Vivi?" Orlando asks when he sees her sitting on her bed clutching her phone to her chest with her eyes closed tight.

She opens her eyes and tries to smile at him, but she falls short. "I'll be okay. He knows about us Lando, says he saw us."

"Who? Jordan? How did he see us?" Orlando moves over to her and sits on the bed with her.

"He says he followed me when I left his house. Tried to catch up with me to tell me he was okay and that he could handle everything. But when he pulled in front of my building we were kissing. And then we walked inside together. So he left."

"Oh Vivi I'm so sorry. I know you didn't want him to find out like that. How's he taking it, badly I suppose?"

"He didn't really say one way or another. He didn't sound happy, but he wasn't exactly angry. No mean words, or threats or anything. He just said he saw us. Oh, and he called it adultry." She didn't tell him what Jordan said about them being meant to be together and how he isn't giving up on them. Instead Vivian just grabbed her suitcase out of the closet and began packing. "What time are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Our flight leaves at ten a.m. Is that good?"

"That's perfect Lando." Her phone begins to ring, she sees its Angie. Orlando sees her sister's picture pop up on her screen and leaves the room to give her some privacy.

"Hey sis, how's it going?"

"Okay, what the fuck happened with you and Jordan? He called Donnie earlier and was screaming and yelling about you and Orlando kissing. Donnie could barely get a word in. Are you with Orlando now?"

"Um, yeah. We kind of hooked up and have decided to give it a go." Vivian attempts to sound cheery.

"Wow. I did not see that coming. And neither did Jordan apparently. He's pretty upset. I think its safe to say he hates Orlando now. And says he's more determined than ever to get you back. He says there's no way he's letting you go for that British prick. Are you really going away with him this week?"

"Jesus, we're just going to California. We're going to check on the film, see where they are on finishing it. And I just need to get out of here for a few days. Just keep an eye on him. He played all cool with me on the phone. I had no idea he was this angry. He was absolutely okay on the phone with me."

"Well he's not okay. Love you sis. And you didn't hear any of that from me."

"Okay, thanks for letting me know. I won't say anything. I love you too sis."

"Can I ask you something before we hang up?"

"Ang, you can ask me anything."

"Why did you decide to get with Orlando now? Do you really see things with Jordan being over?"

Vivian wasn't sure how to answer that question. She'd never even thought about divorcing Jordan, it had never even been a thought in her head. So could she really see things being over between them? "Ang, I don't know. It just kind of happened with Orlando. I've never thought of things being over with me and Jordan. I still love him. I can't imagine not loving him. But Orlando has been here for me and he's helped me so much. He's earned his chance. I owe him."
