Chapter 16

I stand back stage as I watch Jordan being interviewed by a local Boston station. I was all dressed up. Had my hair and makeup done. Jordan had told me about going to this interview the day before. He had the best smile plastered on his face as a host talked to him about what was going on in his life.

"So, Jordan rumor mill has it you are newly divorced! Is this true? Care to put these rumors to rest?" the host Sara Macy asks him.

"It is true. We had finalized the divorce" Jordan remarks with a smile.

"Hear that ladies of Boston? Our own Kid here is single now!" announces Sara as the crowd of ladies' giggle and cheer at that. A blush creeps over Jordan's face.

"Now I am divorced. But I am not single" Joran announced.

Now my cheeks were a rosy red. He looks over in my direction as I watched him. "I have a new lady in my life. I will be moving out to California to be closer to her" he tells everyone.

"Congrats! How did you meet your new lady love?" questions Sara.

"Well Sara, it was back when I was doing Fuller House. She is the makeup artist for the show. We hit it off. I asked her on a date. We have been dating ever since" he tells her. "I came here to move some stuff out of my Boston condo. I will be posting it up for sale very soon"

"Sounds serious with your new lady love" remarks Sara.

"I am very serious about her. Love is in the air" he says with a smile. A few ladies say aw in the crowds. I feel myself blushing more.

Soon the interview was done and over with. Jordan makes his way to myside when he was done chatting with others back stage. I places an arm around my shoulder as he leads me out of the tv studio. A body guard walks along with us to keep fans at bay.

"How did I do baby?" he whispers in my ear as we walk out.

"You did wonderfully. I was not expecting you to do what you did" I giggle.

"Tell about you, you mean?" he teases me as he plants a kiss on my cheek.

"Yes that" I giggle.

"I think it is about time huh?" he asks me. I nod.

"I guess so" I say.

Thoughts of possibly breaking up with Jordan while he went away on tour lingered in my heart. It was going to hurt like hell to let him go. I was not sure if I could do it.

But how was everything going to work out?

"Want to grab some lunch then we can have it back at the condo?" he asks me. "The movers are coming tonight to get the rest of my furniture. Then we will stay the night at a hotel. One last day at the condo"

"Sure, that sounds wonderful" I agree.

We get in the back of a limo. It whisks us away into the big city. We stop by a local pizza place. Jordan orders a few pizza's, a salad, bread sticks, a side dish of pasta to. He must be starving since breakfast. We just had a small meal at Starbucks before on the way to the studios. We soon come up to the condo. I help Jordan carry in the meal we ordered. I follow Jordan's lead.

There was the movers as we were about to eat. We spread out on the floor because the movers had to take everything away. It was fine by me. I sit Indian style on the carpeted floor. Jordan had plastic plates. Cups to. Sliverwear. It was like we were camping in a way.

"I have the best idea" he says thoughtfully as we dig into our meal.

"Oh?" I ask as I chow down on a breadstick.

"I have not been camping since Jon and I were kids. Maybe that is something we could do once I am settled in Cali. Maybe we can camp someplace like the mountains of Colorado. Or at Yellow Stone parks? Would you like that?" he wonders.

"It sounds lovely. But Jordan..."

"Good! We can go shopping for one of those campers or tents whatever you prefer. We could snuggle under the stars in a sleeping bag..."

"Jordan..."

"We can ask some of the guys if they want to come or we can have our own getaway..."

"Jordan!"

"Yes baby?" he asks me.

"Sorry but your tour is coming up. Don't you think we should hold off planning things a bit?" I worry.

"You are right. You are right...sure we can wait until I get back. Then we can plan from there" he agrees with me. I nod as my heart aches inside at the thought of him going away for a month or more.

He smiles as he chows down on his meal.

"Mr. Knight, we think we have it all. Care to go over the address we have here to make sure your items arrive safely?" a mover asks Jordan as he hands him a clip board. Jordan stands up to look over paper work.

"Everything looks fine guys. Thanks for moving it all out so fast" Jordan replies as he looks around his empty place.

"That is our job. See you in California" the man says before leaving us there.

I sit eating my meal deep in my own thoughts. I did not want to burden Jordan with any of them. He had so much to do. So many worries of his own. I still was not sure when I get back if more drama with Rocky would pop up. I had to deal with that on my own. Get a lawyer to get Rocky behind bars for good. Then I was going to start my new job to. We were two worlds apart. I fight back tears.

"Something on your mind?" Jordan wonders. "You have been sitting there quiet as a church mouse"

"Me? No, nothing is wrong. Thinking about my new job. What it will be like. When will my next job be" I explain. It was partly true thinking of my new job.

"You will be great" he tells me with a smile.

"I want to spend every moment with you until I have to go on the road. Every free moment I have is yours" he promises me. I smile weakly.

"I would like that to" I say softly.

Counting the days down until I might never see him again. Could I really say goodbye? Could I really let him go out of my life for good? I could not imagine my life without Jordan in it now that he was in it.
