Jordan- 5
One night Justin had invited his girlfriend, Kayla over after his father had went to work. Jordan was already fast asleep. His phone buzzed and he went to the door and he saw Kayla.
"Hey". Justin said.
"Hey yourself". Kayla says with a smile.
"We have to be very quiet".
"I'll try".
The two sneak up to his room, he told Kayla to wait for a moment while he had to 'use the bathroom'. She waited in his room and quickly changed out of her clothes and laid in his bed. Justin checked in to make sure his sister was fast asleep, he saw her blanket on the floor so he went to cover her up. Jordan had stirred a bit.
"Shh shh it's ok Jo Jo. It's ok. It's just Justie". He hushed her softly.
"Teddy". Jordan mutters quietly.
Justin quickly searched for her bear and found it tucking it back in her arm.
"There ya go, he's right there. Sleep Jo Jo, you're ok".
Jordan turned with her bear and Justin kissed her head, he then tip toed out the room.
"Justie". Jordan blindly looks at her brother.
"What's up kiddo".
"Can you turn on my night light?"
"Sure".
He quickly turned on the princess nightlight for her and she went back to sleep, he quietly closed her door leaving it cracked and went back to his room. As soon as he walked in Kayla kissed him deeply as he was pressed against his door.
"That was a long bathroom trip". Kayla says after a moment.
"Yes it was but now I'm all yours". Justin replies, as he kissed her again.
The two then moved to his bed and got busy, Jordan was waking up from her sleep from a nightmare. She knew her father was at work so she got out of her bed going to her brother's room.
Justin and Kayla were finished, they were laying in bed kissing the two were so wrapped up with each other they didn't hear the door open or Jordan coming in.
"Justie?" Jordan spoke.
The two yelled in shock and surprised, they both covered up more with the blanket. Jordan turned her head in confusion.
"Whatcha doing?"
"You have a kid?!" Kayla exclaimed.
"She's not my kid, she's my sister". Justin answered her. He then turned his attention to his sister. "We were just….what's wrong?"
"I had a bad dream. Can I come lay with you?"
"Go back to you're room Jo Jo, I'll be right there".
"I want daddy".
Jordan then went back to her room with her bear, Kayla then quickly got dressed.
"Hey where are you going?" Justin asked puzzled.
"Home. Why didn't you say you're sister was gonna be home? More imporantly why didn't you tell me you had a sister?" Kayla asked.
"She wasn't suppose to be home she was suppose to be at a sleep over but changed her mind and I was gonna tell you. I didn't think she'd break in while we were".
"I just need a couple days to think".
Kayla then grabbed her stuff and left, Justin quickly put on a shirt and his pajama pants heading to his sister's room. He had heard her sniffing and he rushed in.
"Hey hey, what's wrong Jo Jo?" Justin asked gently.
"I had a bad dream. I want daddy". She sniffed.
"Daddy will be back first thing in the morning, I promise".
"What were you and that girl doing?"
"Um well we were uh….we were cuddling".
"But we don't cuddle like that".
"Well those cuddles are for grown ups only".
"You know daddy doesn't like it when people are here and he's not".
"How about we keep that our little secret?"
"What's in it for me?"
"What?"
"I won't tell daddy if you do something for me".
"Anything".
"We play Ballerina tomorrow, I got us matching tutu's".
Justin groaned. "Deal. You don't tell dad and I'll play Ballerina with you".
"Can I sleep in you're bed?"
"Why don't we go sleep in dad's room?"
"Really?"
"Really".
Justin then carried her to their father's room and they laid in the middle, Jordan had taken her father's pillow and hugged it close to her chest.
"I take it you like dad's pillow?" Justin chuckled a bit.
"It has his smell".
He brushed her hair back, he saw her fighting going back to sleep.
"Go to sleep Jo Jo, I'm right here. I'll protect you".
"I don't want anymore bad dreams".
"I'll keep the bad dreams away, dad taught me how".
"Really?"
"Really. Go to sleep, I'll protect you".
Jordan finally went to sleep her head laying on her brother's chest and her father's pillow curled next to her. Justin held his sister and he really hoped that his sister doesn't say anything to their father otherwise he's screwed.
Hank quietly entered his house not knowing if his children are sleep, he went upstairs to check on them. He checked his son's room, he saw the bed messed up and it was empty he got confused. He then checked his daughter's room and also empty, slowly fear started to creep up in his body. Hank quickly checked his room and found them asleep.
He sighed in relief, he stood in the door way watching them sleep as a small smile appeared on his face. Justin slowly woke up he jumped when he saw someone at the door and realized it's his father.
"Where did you come from?" Justin asked groggy.
"Work. There a reason you two are here and not you're rooms?"
Before Justin could answer Jordan woke up and rubbed her eyes, she then saw her father.
"Daddy!" Jordan says excitedly.
She then ran as fast as she could over to him and he chuckled as he picked her up.
"There's my beautiful princess". Hank said with a smile, smoothing her hair back.
"Can we have chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast?"
"Of course we can".
"Can I help?"
"Sure".
Jordan then went to the kitchen to help her father, Justin then quickly fixed all the beds upstairs he hoped his sister hadn't said anything. When he got downstairs he saw her sitting on the kitchen counter mixing the pancake batter. Hank then started cooking the panckaes while Jordan went to go change, while the food cooked the older father glanced over at his son.
"So what happened last night, how'd you and Jo end up in my room?" Hank asked his eldest child.
"She had a nightmare wanted you but you weren't here, so I figured we'd go to you're room".
"Hmm".
"How'd you bed get that messed up?"
"What can I say, I'm a crazy sleeper".
Jordan came down a short time later dressed in her Ballerina stuff, she even had Justin's stuff.
"Whatcha got there sweetie?" Hank asked.
"My ballerina stuff, Justin said he'd play with me".
Justin just chugged his coffee as his father glanced between them, it didn't take long for him out his kids were hiding something. After breakfast Justin went to go put the ballerina stuff on in the hall bathroom and Hank took this time to talk to his little girl.
"Jo, come here honey". Hank softly calls his daughter.
"Yes daddy". Jordan spoke.
"Is something going on with you're brother?"
"No".
"Are you two hiding a secret?"
"Maybe".
"Can I know the secret?"
"What's in it for me?"
Hank sighed, Justin had started her on this and it went from a phase to almost a regular thing with her.
"How about $10 dollars?" He pulled the money out.
"I don't know".
"How about the 10 dollars and you can have whatever you want for dessert tonight".
Jordan then took the money from her father's hand. "Justin had someone over last night".
"Who was it?"
The five year old gave her father a puppy dog pout and held her hand out, he sighed. He was gonna kill his son for teaching this to his little girl. He pulled out another 10 and gave it to her.
"He had a girl over and they were giving extra special cuddles only for grown up, they were also kissing gross".
"Listen to daddy, you never ever want those kinds of cuddles. Those are bad and boys hav cooties so you don't want those kinds of cuddles from a boy".
"Do you and Justin?"
"Do we what honey?"
"Have cooties".
"Well were grown ups now, I think they went away but other boys could have them".
"Could I have cooties too?"
"You don't have cooties baby".
"But I kissed a boy".
Hank froze. Had he just heard that correctly? His five-year-old daughter, his little princess kissed a boy? He was ready to hit his head against the wall.
"You kissed a boy?" He had to made sure he heard that right.
"I kissed Tommy on the cheek at school on the play ground. I have cooties!"
"I think they already went away for you, but no more kissing boys".
"Ok daddy".
"That's my girl".
He then kissed her head and Justin came out wearing the ballerina out fit, the things he does for his sister. When he saw the look on his father's face change he looked at his sister.
"Jo tell me you didn't". Justin spoke.
"Sorry Justin, I got 20 dollars from it and I got have whatever I want for dessert tonight". Jordan told her brother.
"I gotta work on my negotiating skills with you". Justin then saw the glare on his father's face. "Would you look at the time I gotta go pick up my car out of the shop".
"You're car is outside". Hank told his son.
"I gotta take it to the shop".
Hank then grabbed his son by the ear and dragged him upstairs while Jordan played. Justin was hissing in pain as his father dragged him by his ear once Hank had let go he rubbed his sore ear then he felt a sharp slap upside the head.
"What was that for?" Justin asked rubbing his head in pain.
"Have you lost you're damn mind? What were you thinking having someone here while Jo was here?" Hank asked his son.
"She was asleep. She was fine. I wouldn't let anything happen to her Pop, you know that".
"Tell me she didn't see anything she shouldn't have".
"She didn't, all she saw was me and Kayla kissing that's it".
That earned Justin another sharp slap upside the head. "Would you stop that?"
"First, you know I don't want anyone in this house when I'm not here".
"Yeah I know. Believe me I know, I didn't think anything of it. No harm no foul".
"Well since you don't think you didn't do anything wrong. You're grounded".
"What?"
"You heard me, you're grounded".
"Pop, I'm a grown adult not a kid".
"Says the one wearing a ballerina outfit. Since you can't seem to follow my rules. You're grounded. 3 weeks".
"Pop you can't be serious".
"For the next 3 weeks you will be doing all the laundry, cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, and no vistors. Especially any girlfriends. I'm not having that talk with Jo yet".
"Again you can't be serious".
"Does it look like I'm joking?"
"I'm a grown adult getting grounded, what else can go wrong".
Hank then remembered something and gave his son another slap upside the head.
"Would you stop that?" Justin rubbed his sore head again.
"That was for teaching Jo the whole negotiating thing, she's five Justin. She can't be going around doing that".
"Alright fine, I'll talk to her about it".
"Go on and the next time I hear about someone else in you're room, the door comes off".
Before Justin could protest his father had shot him a look and he went downstairs to see Jordan. The five year old was dancing around the living room when she saw her brother.
"Justie!" Jordan yelled excitedly.
"Hey squirt, dad wanted me to talk to you about something". Justin replies.
"What?"
Justin made sure his father wasn't around. "You know how we negotiate our deals?"
"Yeah".
"That's gonna be our secret ok. Nobody else can know. Not dad, not Erin, no one. You can't pull it with anyone else".
"Ok".
"Shake on it".
Jordan smiled as they did their secret hand shake. "So as far as dad knows we talked about it and you stopped doing it right".
"Right".
"Attagirl. Now I'm gonna go take this off because it's highly uncomfortable".
"But you're promised you'd play ballerina with me". Jordan gave the puppy dog pout.
She turned and started sniffing. "I'm gonna tell daddy".
"No no you don't have to tell him, alright I'll play with you".
Jordan then turned smiling brightly. "I thought you'd see things my way".
"You're an evil genius".
"You taught me".
"I think I taught you too well".
"Let's play".
Justin then started playing ballerina with his sister, as long as nobody saw him the way he was dressed he was good. Hank had came down the stairs to see his children dancing and playing. He slipped his phone out taking pictures and a video. He hopes his son learns a lesson.
