Chapter 2

Here I was going to be doing Jordan Knight's make-up. Where was Angel anyway? I finished up with Jodie. She hugged Jordan once more before heading on her way. She was really a sweet lady.
Now it was only Jordan Knight and myself here in the room. Was I nervous? Hell yes I was nervous. I tried not to let it show. Why was he so beautiful? I bite my lip as I try to focus on what I was supposed to be doing here.
"I hear you are new here? What is your name?" he questions me making small talk with me as I start on his foundation.
"Me?! My name is Ana Lee" I tell him.
"Pretty, name Ana" he replies sweetly.
"Thank you" I say.
"You do know I am divorced now right? You can smile my way any time" he jokes.
"What am I that obvious trying not to flirt?" I giggle.
"A little" he laughs.
"I am sorry to hear you are divorced" I say softly.
"Me to. It happened out of the blue to. She was not happy. I had not been so I guess it was time. Not a lot of people know" he tells me.
"It must be hard. I never have been married" I tell him. "I would not know"
"Really? A pretty girl like you? Not married?" he was a little flirt. He winks at me as he closes his eyes so I could do his eye make-up.
My heart flutters inside. Was Jordan really flirting with me? Or was it all in my imagination?
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" he asks me.
"Me?" I squeak.
"Yes you" he asks me.
"No not at the moment" I manage to say.
"You should. A girl like you" he says.
"Are you flirting with me Jordan Knight?" I giggle.
"Maybe I am" he says as he peeks those beautiful brown eyes at me.
My throat is a loss for words. Our eyes lock on each other.
"Would you like to be my date for the night? I mean if you do not have any plans? I am in town for a little bit. I would like to have some company" he asks me.
"Me?" I ask again. He nods.
"Yes you" he says as a sexy smile spreads on his face.
"Sure, I would love that" I agree.
"Here is my card. Can you write your number down for me? I will call you tonight" he vows.
"Sure" I agree.
I get my pencil that was in my purse. I got my number down for him. This all seemed like a dream I dreamed a million times before. But here it was coming true. Jordan Knight asked me out! We were both single! Excitement pumps in my heart. Was he really going to call me later? Would we really go on that date?
"I always keep my word beautiful" he says softly after I am done with his make-up. He gets up from my chair. He places a hand on my hand that rested there on the back of his chair he had been sitting at. A spark shoots in my veins as our fingers touch lightly for a moment. "I look forward to this date" he promises me whispering the words near my left earlobe before walking off with the card that had my phone number on it.
After Jordan leaves the room Angel comes in with the beverages. I was standing there stunned I was asked out by my childhood crush.
"Sorry it took me so long. The damn machine took my money. So, I had to go to the front desk. Get my change back. Then walk all the way back to the machine. Get our drinks. My what a work out. Did anyone come in yet?" Angel rambles on as I stand there like a star stuck dummy. "I can tell by the look on your face someone was in here" he laughs.
"Jordan. Jordan Knight" I manage to find my words.
"New Kids are here? I always miss everyone. You are lucky. What was he like?" Angel asks me.
"He asked me on a date" I tell Angel.
"Girl he is married" laughs Angel.
"No, he told me he is divorced. We are both single. He asked me out" I tell him.
"What did you say?" asks Angel. He hands me a drink.
"I said yes. I have a date with Jordan tonight" I giggle.
"You are going to have blast. But he lives in Boston. Long distance relationships' never work out" he warns me.
That was true. This would never work. My heart sinks. It was to good to be true anyway. But at least for one night I was going on a date with the man of my dreams. Jordan Knight. Wait until I told my sister the news!
"I don't care. It is only for one night anyway. One night I will never forget" I sigh trying not to allow myself to be down hearted about Jordan returning home if the date went well. I could handle one night only. Hopefully my heart would not want more than one night with the man.
I had a feeling I would want more. Much more.
Someone comes in. It was time to go to work. Keep my mind off Jordan and our date for now.
Later at lunch time I run into Belinda.
"I hear someone on set is smitten with you. He asked me all about you" brags Belinda.
"Who?" I ask.
"Mr. Knight. He tells me you two have plans for a date?" she asks me. I nod.
"I think maybe I should not go" I worry.
"Why? You have had a crush on the man since you were in middle school" she asks me.
"I know. But he is not staying in town. It will never work. He will go back home. My heart will want more than one date" I tell her.
"So, this is Jordan Knight! Go for it. One night is better than nothing at all" she tells me with excitement as she grabs my writs. "He seems so excited about this date"
"Really? I do want to go out with him... Okay I will" I sigh.
I was unsure my heart was ready for this heartbreak I was bound to head into. But this was Jordan Knight. Maybe it would all be worth it.
