Chapter 13

The flight was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did not really care for flying. But we arrived there on time. No delays in between. The guard lead us through the crowds when we got there.
Of course, being with Jordan got us a few looks our way. Mainly looks given by lots of ladies. Some called out his name when they spotted him. Jordan kept his cool as he gave a slight wave as we made our way to a taxi cab.
"Welcome to Boston baby" he tells me once we were in the back of a cab. His arm drapes over the back of my shoulder. He kisses my cheek.
"Wow all those people in crowds knew you from a mile away!" I tease.
"Are the crowds getting to you?" he worries.
"I am alright" I promise him. He places his other hand on my right leg.
"Our first little trip. This will be a first of many first" he promises me.
"Right. Let's see. We had our first date. Our first kiss..." I remind him.
"Our first date in. Our now first get away trip" he points out.
"I hope we have many more firsts" I say happily.
"I hope we have many more lasts, that will be our lasts" he says.
"Last? Why?" I say feeling confused.
"That way you are my first yet last love baby" he explains to me.
"Oh Jordan" I giggle.
We drive in heavy traffic in downtown Boston. Soon we come up to his condo in a mess of townhouses. The taxi cab stops for us in front of the home. The guard gets out first.
Then allows us to get out. Jordan leads me into his home after unlocking it. The guard waits outside the door. I guess Jordan always has them on hand if he needed them. I felt a bit safer with them around me.
Jordan shows me a little tour of his Boston home. It was pretty bare. There were boxes all packed up all over the place. My heart warms inside knowing he was packing to be with me. Back in California. It seemed a little lonely. I spot photos of Jordan with his boys. Smiling. Looking happy.
"Come see our room baby" he calls out to me from down the hall as I glance over photos.
He meets me there in the hall. Our fingers link together as he holds my hand in his. We enter his room. His room was filled with lovely light and dark blues. A large king size bed.
"This is really nice. Are you sure you want to leave? Give all this up?" I worry.
He lays down on the bed. Then pulls me gently on top of him. He smiles as he leads the way to his lips. Soon I find myself kissing him. My heart melts as our lips tango together.
"Baby you are not here. That is not where I want to be. I want to be with you" he vows softly after our kiss. "Do you want to be with me?" he worries.
"Of course, I do. I just want you to make sure you are doing the right thing. I mean moving is a really big step. I am sorry. I care so much for you. I want to make sure you do what is best for you. Not just for us" I say gently to him.
"Sweetie, I have found I am happy when I am here with you. So, I need to be where you are" he says softly making me melt inside.
"I want that to" I promise him.
"Good. Then we are on the same page" he says as he smiles. I rest on his chest.
I knew he wanted to make love. I was nervous about that moment coming for us. I wanted that more than anything myself. But I had not been with anyone since Rocky. I was scared. What if I messed up the beautiful moment? What if...so many what if's ran in my head. I pull way from the intense session of kissing.
"Baby, no worries. Now is not the right time to make love. I have a time, a place here this week for all of that. When the time is right I want your heart your mind your soul focused on us. Not somewhere else. Not on something else. The time will be right it will be perfect for us baby" he whispers to me. How he managed to read my thoughts I did not know. But we were so in tune together with each other.
"I love you Jordan" I promise him. I lean in kissing him. "How could you tell I was worrying about that?" I wonder.
"You pull away when we get close baby. I never want you to be afraid of us. Or what we will share. That is why I wait until the moment is right not just for you but for me. I find it hard to wait for this. I want it more than I ever wanted anything before baby. But it will be worth it for us. I will wait for you baby" he vows softly as his fingers roam in my hair.
Guilt sets inside of me. I should not make him wait. Not when we both clearly wanted each other. I was being selfish to. He had needs just as much as I did. I lean down kissing him. Showing him how much love was growing in my heart for this beautiful man who waited for me to return my love.
"I love you" I vow softly to him.
"I know baby. I love you" he says as a happy smile spreads on his face. "I understand you have been through so much hell and back. Not all men are like that. This is my chance to show you that"
"Thank you for bringing me here to Boston. For sharing your life with me" I say softly.
"Oh, baby this trip is going to be one you will never forget" he tells me happily with joy twinkling in his eyes. He kisses me again. I can feel love from his lips in each kiss. My eyes close. I forget the troubles that waited for me back home. All that mattered was this moment. And being here with Jordan.
