Chapter 6

Despite the exhaustion his body felt, Randy's mind would not let him rest. All his subconscious would let him focus on was the strange night he had just encountered. For the life of him, he had no idea why he had had such a strong urge to protect Jordan. All he knew is that when he went looking for her and saw her being man-handled by that jerk, he flipped.

'Dude, and why was it necessary to act like her boyfriend?' he asked himself, annoyed, "Way to play it cool, Orton.'

And he honestly did not know why he had done it. It had just seemed right at the time. He sighed exasperated as he changed into sweatpants and a wife-beater. Sleep, he told himself. 'Sleep helps everything,' he thought to himself. But, as he expected, it was a long time before his body and mind found solace.

-------------------------------------------------

Jordan's alarm clock woke her up far earlier than she would have preferred the next morning. She had been tossing and turning all night and eight had come far too soon. But, she also knew that if she didn't get her morning jog in she would feel useless all day. She slowly pulled herself up from her warm sanctuary and made her way to her suitcase to pull out some jogging sweats and her shoes. She had learned early on that there was no reason to un-pack; you would be leaving in a day or two anyway. After she had changed and effectively stretched, she made her way outside and saw a now familiar face waiting for her.

"Hey J, what's up girlie?" Chris asked as he bent to tie his shoe.

"Everything and nothing," Jordan replied vaguely.

"Okkayy," Chris drew out, "want to talk now or as we run?"

"Might as well do it while we run," Jordan replied with a sighed as they start on a brisk run. There was something calming about Chris and Jordan knew she could confide in him.

"So what's up in the fabulous world of Jordan?" Chris as they slowed to a jog.

"Alright, since I don't really know how to beat around the bush, I'll just come out with it," Jordan said breathing deeply. "Last night, at the club, while all you guys were dancing, this really sleazy guy was harassing me, and Randy kind of rescued me."

"Okay, what do you mean Randy kind of rescued you?" Chris asked.

"Well, the guy was holding on to my arm really tight and I was struggling, so Randy pretended to be my boyfriend to get him to leave me alone," Jordan replied.

At this, Chris looked confused. "Why did he have to pretend to be your boyfriend to get the guy to leave you alone?"

"See! That is what I don't get. I mean you guys are freaking intimidating, so why did he do that?" Jordan asked animatedly.

"I don't really know. But I do know that Randy is extremely protective over those he cares about, so I'm sure it's just the first thing that came to his mind," Chris replied.

"I know but we barely know each other. And on top of that we barely like each other." Jordan said.

"Well if you barely like him, why do care so much?" Chris asked with a knowing grin.

"I don't really care," Jordan said defensively, "I was just curious."

"Okay I'll drop it for know, but I can guarantee Stacy won't," Chris said laughing slightly.

Seeing an opportunity to turn the tables, Jordan grinned. "Speaking of Stacy, you guys looked cozy last night."

Chris turned bright red and then glared at Jordan, as he picked up on her game. "Okay, fine I'll drop it, but this conversation isn't over, girlie," Chris said with a wave, as he headed up towards his room.

Jordan grabbed a banana from the nearby breakfast room before heading up to her own room to shower. Her mind once again strayed to Randy as the hot needles of water fell on her skin. Why was it such a big deal that Randy had helped her?

'I mean so he said he was my boyfriend, he was just being nice,' Jordan said out loud as towel dried her hair, 'nothing to read into.' And with that thought, Jordan decided to just relax and read the book she had been trying to find time to get to until it was time to meet Randy.

'Might as well try to stay calm," Jordan said to herself looking in the mirror. She saw how big her smile was and realized that she probably would not be relaxing very much at all that day.

"Oh, anticipation," Jordan said grinning.

A/N – I honestly am so sorry it took so long for an update but first school was hectic and then I had a virus. But all is good now and I swear Jordan and Randy's night is in the next chapter! I hope to get at least three chapters out during Christmas break, so lets cross our fingers. Thanks for reading guys!
