Chapter 3
Even though it was the 1st time Jordan had had a proper sleep in weeks, he still woke up with the feeling he always woke up with. He had dreamt about Mike again. At 1st Jordan loved dreaming about his crush where he'd imagine scenarios like being his valet when Mike won his 1st WWE Title, going on a date with Mike and even marrying him. The more he dreamt about him though the stronger his feelings for Mike became. Initially he wakes up realising that he "spent time" with Mike but eventually realises it was just him being an obsessive love-sick loser. Then he'd remember all the thoughts that have been bothering him.
Since he's been "out", he's realised how effeminate he was and it made him think he wasn't acting an effeminate gay but acting like a girl. He felt that for the past couple of years, he's only started acting like a teenager, obsessing about boys, looks, The Hills etc. He never had any real friends, fortunately though he's found great friends in Ted, Chris & Mike but whenever he goes back to Daytona Beach, he's basically a hermit. Ted & Chris both lived in Tampa but Jordan didn't want to be clingy. Anyway all Jordan did was watch tv, sunbathe at the beach or work out. Well he hasn't exercised in a while now. He used to be a fitness fanatic but he's lost his motivation and started eating more junk food. This led to weight gain that only Jordan noticed but really bugged him so he became bulimic. He only did it occasionally as he was afraid of the dangers of bulimia. He tried to do it when he wasn't working but sometimes he'd do it while Ted was out. He was also bothered that he was a 20 year old virgin that has never been on a date or even been kissed. Sometimes he thought he should talk it out to Ted or Chris but he didn't want to be a burden and he also thought that he was just being a drama-queen.
"Morning Sunshine" Ted smiled from the bed next to Jordan.
"Morning Ted" Jordan forced a smile back. "Where's Miz?"
"In his own room. He carried you to bed and waited for me to come back before he left. So did you and Mike have fun last night?"
Jordan smiled, for real this time, "We just watched a film"
"Must have been a really good film if you're smiling like that."
"Shut up Ted. You're talking like I had sex with him. Last night was probably the closest I'll get to being Mike's boyfriend. Wow now I'm depressed. That was a quick moodswing."
"Oh don't talk like that." Ted sat on Jordan's bed. " I know you think that you'll never find a guy as good as Mike but that's just because you've been in a bubble where you're the only one who knows what you're feeling."
"God do you have to be married and heterosexual? Whoever said all the good ones are gay are talking crap."
Ted chuckled ."Thanks Jordaroo. Now get your ass in the shower Chris & Mike will be waiting on us downstairs.
As the clique had their breakfast together, Jordan was trying not to act weird around Mike. Last night falling asleep in Mike's arms made him fall for him even more.
"So did you 2 have fun last night?" Chris asked cheekily. Jordan's eyes widened with the fear that his secret crush wasn't so secret.
"Well me & Jordan watched a film, talked and he fell asleep. I hope it was the film that was boring him and not me."
"I'm sorry Mizzy but it's exhausting being Jordan and sleep is something I need."
"Yeah Jordan you do live up to your reputation as THE diva of the WWE"
"Whatever Chris. How was your night then?"
"Cant complain for a guy my age. Why is it that me, the old fart of the group, is a party animal and the young 20 year old lives like an old man? Come on Jordan you should go out with us."
Before Jordan could answer Mike's phone went off. "Sorry this is kind of important. It's the guy who's going to fix my kitchen." He gets up and leaves. Chris noticed that Jordan was staring at Mike as he left.
"So you want to be Mr. Mizanin?"
"Jordan felt that same feeling of fear he felt earlier. He turned to Ted. "When did you tell him?"
Trust me Jordan. I didn't tell him. I have no idea how he knows." Ted was just as surprised at Chris was as Jordan was.
"Ted didn't need to tell me. Neither did you or anyone else for that matter. I've known for ages. I don't blame ya Mike's a good looking guy. But what about me? I'm a sexy beast"
"God why is it that everyone's asking me how hot I think they are lately?"
"Yeah Chris. You're so egotisical."
Jordan turned to Ted as if to say "WTF?" "Yes Chris, like Miz & Ted I think you're hot but it's only been since you came back to WWE I've found you hot with the short hair and only without the facial hair. I wasn't a fan of the Aiatolla of rock & rolla look back in the good old days. But how do you know about my feelings for Mike?"
"Sorry Jordan but you're not as subtle as you'd like to be"
"Well I never noticed anything. I was surprised when I found out."
"Aww Ted at least you've got your looks. Jordan I've seen the way you look at Mike, when he leaves the room and when he arrives your eyes light up. Looks like The Miz is more than a Chick Magnet."
"So I'm basically projecting my fangirl crush?"
"That's a good thing. With Mike you loosen up more than you do with us and you stop repressing yourself. Jordan, you have nothing to be scared of. Even if some wise-ass tries to bother you, you've got the 3 of us to protect you. Remember I did beat up Goldberg. Remember? You love that story."
Jordan's eyes began watering and he wasn't too far from crying. "Sorry I don't react well to people being nice." Ted put his arm around Jordan's shoulder. "Thanks Chris"
"No problem Jordaroo" Chris got up and gave Jordan a hug. "See even when I'm not Y2J anymore I still save you all." They all laughed.
Mike came back seeing his friends hugging. "Did I miss something? Is something up?"
"Don't worry Mike" Ted said "Jordan's just being the hormonal 14 year-old we know and love"
