A Different Christmas Vacation

Chapter Fourteen

Hours later, we'd made a few changes in the parts and the lyrics and it sounded almost perfect, we just needed accompaniment.

"I think this song would sound great with just the guitar and our voices," Jordan discussed as he walked me to the door.

"Yeah, that'd probably work. I think it sounds really great like that, and it's how we've practiced it."

"Alright, then. See you at dinner and practice tomorrow, yeah?"
"Yeah, sounds good. See you later." I gave a little wave and walked across to my room as he closed the door. I put the key over the sensor, dropped my things in the doorway, and immediately crashed on the couch.

I needed to talk to someone, and I'm sure Amy would like to hear more about my Jordan Jones problems.

I quickly grabbed my phone out my back pocket and called my number six. She picked up two rings later.

"Hey-O. How's it going down south," she said while attempting a souther accent.

"Pretty good. I'm exhausted and I'm sure you'd love to feel about my day," I said.

"Does it involve Jordan?" she asked.

"Of course," I answered.

"Then I'm in. Spill," she said. If I were standing next to her right now, she would have big and intimidating eyes waiting to feast off of whatever I was giving her.

"Well, it started waking up with Jordan. And then he left for the gym without me when I said I was going with. So I went down to the gym and asked to workout with him, but he said he needed some time to think. So I let him do that and then you called doing your rounds. I went out in the hall and talked to you and then went back in with Jordan. He explained that he had a song he needed to submit for his new album by the ninth and it was crunch time. He was really stressing. He had an idea and went back to his room.

"I worked out for another hour or so and then went up to my room to take a shower, but there was a note on the door that said he needed me to come over. He answered and said he wasn't ready, so I went back over to my room and took a shower. When I came back, he asked what I thought about his song because it was important that I okayed it. I didn't understand at first, but then he explained that it was a duet and he wanted me to sing it with him for his new album."

"Holy cow, Reina! I have so many questions right now."

"One at a time and I'll answer them."

"Okay, one. Why were you sleeping with Jordan again?"

"Well, we were watching a movie marathon until like five in the morning and then I just slept in his room."

"Okay, that makes some sense, more if you didn't live twenty feet away! But anyhow, who wouldn't want to get intimate with their boyfriend? Alright, next question. What were you thinking when he shut you down and told you he needed to think?"

"What is this an interview or something? Are you trying to uncover my darkest secrets or something?"

"Yes, now spill. You said you'd answer if I asked one at a time. I'm asking one at a time, now spill."

"I was kind of freaking out, honestly. What if he was thinking about breaking up with me or something? I had no idea about the new album, even, so I was really freaking."

"Next; so this new album - do you think you can score me a signed copy?" she asked.

"What kind of question is that? We can discuss that when it actually comes out. I have no idea when, though."

"Fine, fine. What is the song about?"

"It's about a boy who likes a girl and the girl likes the boy and they don't know, but then they come together."
"Did he write it about you two?"
"No, he wrote it when he was like fourteen three years ago."
