Jordan sat on the balcony that night staring up at the stars, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Kevin had told her he was in love with her and all she could do was stand their staring at him like an idiot with her mouth hanging open. Luckily Linda had come to the rescue by saying Derek and Andrew needed to see her. She hadn't wanted to see anyone once she got back and paid a visit to Paul in his room where Nicolas had spent the day with his father. Paul had wanted to know what happened as soon as they had gotten back from the courthouse and she had spent two hours arguing with him. He hadn't believed her when she told him she had never signed the stupid paperwork to put Alex's name on Nicolas's birth certificate.  She had finally had enough when he insulted by saying she was probably enjoying all the drama in her life and she stormed from the room and locked herself away. Everyone had come by to check on her but she had ignored the knocks on the door except for Linda who had called and asked to speak with her. She suspected Kevin had called Linda when she wouldn't open the door and put his mind at rest she agreed to talk to Linda. After their discussion Linda went down to retrieve Nicolas from Paul and called Jordan a few moments later telling her Nicolas wanted to sleep in Paul's room. Jordan had agreed needing the time alone to think.  Jordan heard the knock on the door and decided she better answer it before one of the boy's broke it down to ensure she was safe.

"Coming" she called out grabbing her robe from the bed.

Jordan wasn't surprised to find Kevin leaning against the wall when she opened the door. "Come on in" she said giving him a small smile.

"I was starting to get worried about you when you wouldn't answer the door or answer the phone." He said gently.

"Sorry, it's just been a really bad day, between seeing Alex again and fighting with Paul, I needed sometime to myself. I didn't mean to worry you," she said standing in the middle of the room.

"It's alright, what were you fighting with Paul about?"

"He doesn't believe that I never signed the other Birth Certificate putting Alex's name as Nicolas's father. We argued for two hours before I had enough of his bull shit"

"He must have said something horrible to make you lock yourself in here like that."

"It's nothing, I don't want you to worry about it." Jordan said tiredly.

"I guess I didn't make things any easier today by telling you I'm in love with you did I" he said taking her face in his hands.

"I think I was more shocked than anything, we've always been friends. I guess I thought you didn't see me as anything more than Paul's girl," she said quietly.

"Trust me sweetheart, I had to fight everyday to continue seeing you that way. When you and Paul broke up my first thought was that I was never going to see you again"

"I'm confused Kev, I don't know what to feel, I don't even know who I am right now" Jordan whispered the dam bursting as tears flowed down her face.

"Jordie, you're the same woman you've always been, I can see that and so can every other person around you. You don't have to say anything; you don't even have to feel anything. Just heal so we can see where this is going to go. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes just don't shut me out. You may not think so right now but this situation with Alex and what ever crap Paul is pulling is going to make you stronger" Kevin said pulling her into his arms and holding her close.

Jordan snuggled into his embrace soaking up his strength. "You're willing to wait for me?" she asked quietly.

Kevin smiled down at her lovingly, "I've waited for five years already what's a little while longer, besides I happen to think you're worth waiting for."

"You know what Kevin Nash, I don't care what anybody says, you're not nearly as tough as you want everyone to think you are. You're a big softie," Jordan said drying her tears.

Kevin laughed and looked around, "Just don't tell anyone, I have a reputation to keep"

"Don't worry Kevin, you're secret is safe with me" she told him smiling.

Kevin closed his eyes enjoying the feel of her in his arms, "I knew I could count on you"

They stayed that way for a while just holding on to one another. Jordan was still uncertain as to what she was going to do about everything else, but she did know that she didn't want Kevin to slip through her fingers she was just afraid if she waited to long to make a decision he would.

"Babe you better get some sleep we have an early flight to Detroit tomorrow morning," Kevin said pulling back reluctantly.

"I know, I'm not sure I can sleep?" she said dropping her hands to her sides.

"I'm sure I could think of a few things that would make you tired enough to sleep." Kevin whispered with a sexy grin.

"KEVIN" Jordan warned as a slow smile spread across her face.

"Hey can't blame a guy for trying now can you," he said as they walked to the door.

"I guess you can't, you're time will come Kevin, I just want to take things slow"

"I know babe, I'll see you in the morning" he said bending down to give her a kiss on the cheek.

With a grin Jordan turned her cheek and Kevin's lips met hers. Kevin pulled back slightly in surprise. Jordan looked up at him with an innocent expression. "What's wrong Kev?" she asked boldly.

"Not a thing" he said pulling her into his arms and kissing her deeply.

Jordan wasn't expecting his kiss to stir up so much emotion and was shocked when she felt her knees grow week. Kevin expertly invaded her mouth with his tongue exploring the inner recess. Against her better judgment Jordan felt her arms slide around his neck and let her fingers slide into his hair pulling him closer as Kevin backed her up against the door. "Jordie we shouldn't be doing this" Kevin said his voice hoarse with passion.

 "I know, but I couldn't help myself" she whispered looking up at him. At 5'3" the top of her head barely came to his chest.

"God you don't know how much I wish I could stay" he said touching her face lovingly.

"You could stay for a little while just until I fall asleep," Jordan offered hopefully.

"You're right I could, but only if you want me to. I don't want to push myself on you"

"Please, I haven't been sleeping well"

"You're wish is my command darlin" he said taking her by the hand and leading her to the bed.

Jordan lay down on the bed with her head pillowed on his chest. Kevin wrapped his arms around her and sighed, "What's wrong?" she asked quietly.

"I was just thinking I could get used to this," he said playing with her long brown hair.

"So could I?" she whispered with a yawn.

She felt his laughter rumble through his chest and smiled, "Something funny there big guy"

"I was just wondering how long we are going to be able to fight this,"

"We at least have to try, I don't want to do anything until after my divorce is final, and you heard Caldwell's comment that I wanted to sleep with you"

"Caldwell's an asshole don't listen to him, there is more to us than sex,"

"I would hope so, seeing as we haven't had sex yet," Jordan said with a grin.

"Baby, when we do it's not sex we are going to be having" Kevin said kissing the top of her head."

"You keep on saying sweet things like that Kevin Nash and you're going to have me falling in love with you in no time at all."

"Good, that means my plan is working" Kevin teased caressing her hand where it lay on his chest.

A few minutes later Kevin looked down to find Jordan sound asleep, 'just a few minutes more then I'll leave' Kevin said to himself reaching over to turn off the light then holding her closer to him. "Yes, I could get use to this" he said feeling complete for the first time in a long time.
