Anything You Ask Of Me: Jordan Knight

19. [If you were beside me right now ♡]

Ava bit her lip, placing her hands over them at the memory of it. "Yes of course I do, Jordan what are you trying to do?" She said. "Trying to be romantic " he admits and she chuckles. " You're such a dork " she teases. "You're already romantic though " she adds. "Oh am I?". "Yes baby you are" she says willingly calling him a pet name without him having to trick or persuade her to do so. Jordan had a huge grin plastered on his face and bit his bottom lip semi-hard as he looked out the window. His heart so full of joy and utter infatuation for this girl. " Earth to Jordan " she says and chuckles to herself. "I'm here" he answers. "Oh good, I thought you passed out or something from me calling you baby" Ava teased and he slightly got a little flustered. " Nope, in fact you give me joy when you call me your own" he says proudly. " Oh no Jordan, you don't belong to me, your heart does though" she corrects him. "What about your heart?" Is it mine?" He asks and on the other end, she smiles. "Well it's inside of my chest so I don't know how it's going to end up in your hands" she jokes and he groaned. "Ava" Jordan whines and she chuckled. "Jordan?" She whispers. "Hmm?" He answers waiting for her to talk. It sounded like Ava was thinking about what to say but he waited patiently for her to finally say something.

Truth is, she didn't know what she wanted to say, only that words were not enough. If Jordan were beside her at this very moment, she would've hid her face in the crook of his neck from embarrassment, wanting to pull him close to her. There were no words to explain what she was beginning to feel, only that she was a bit scared of where these feelings could take her or from her. "Baby are you still there?" He softly asked. "Yeah yeah, I'm still here" he answered. "What were you going to say?". "Nothing, actually I can't remember what I wanted to say" she admitted. "You sure?" He questioned, his accent sending shivers down her spine. "Yes, baby I'm sure" she answered hoping that calling him that would make him forget it.

Jordan smiled at the pet name falling from her lips,it sounded so sweet coming from Ava. " Love it when you call me that". "I know you do" she teased and he let out a heartfelt chuckle. " Are you coming with us on the trip? We leave next week and we'd all like it if you went" he spoke, hopeful that she'd accept. "Isn't it a special occasion, it should just be a best friend type of trip" Ava reasoned. "No, the guys were asking about you, they think it's a great opportunity for you to see a beautiful part of Boston" he explained. " Oh really? Do you want me to go?" She questioned. "Course I do, that is only if you want to go, I don't want to pressure you baby" he said and her heart softened. " I have to check stuff with school and I'll let you guys know okay?" she assured him. " Okay".

Ava yawned as she stretched her arms and legs. "You should rest now baby, don't want you to stay up too late" Jordan suggested. " oh now you're telling me what I can and can't do" she teased and he chuckled.
"No no I just don't want you to stay up cause of me" he admitted.

" You're right, can you do me a favor though?" Ava said as she lied on her bed still clutching the phone close to her ear. "Anything baby you tell me what I can do and I'll do it" he willingly accepted. "As cheesy as this may sound, can you sing me to sleep? I want your voice to umm.. be the last thing I hear before I fall asleep" she said shyly. " And you said I'm romantic?" Jordan recalled. "Please Baby" she added knowing damn well that he wouldn't be able to deny her. Ava was starting to enjoy using this to tease him. Jordan groaned and bit his lip. "Okay okay, which song?". " The one we danced on our first date" she responded. "Alright, close your eyes" he instructed. "Okay" she said letting him know that she did what he told her.

My love,
I'll never find the words my love, to tell you how I feel my love.
Mere words, could not explain.

Ava smiled basking in the sweet sound of her boyfriend's voice. She felt so warm inside, it seemed like a dream that this was even happening. As he continued to sing, she imagined him.
...

Only you,
Cared when I needed a friend, believed in me through thick and thin,
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love

Ava could feel tiredness invading her but she didn't want to sleep until the song was over. All she could remember was Jordan singing it to her close to her ear as they danced in the dimmed room full of other people but he made it seem like it was only them.

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song 'cause you, make me feel brand new.

His falsetto was lulling her into a deep and peaceful slumber. It was a beautiful sound to fall asleep to. Jordan paused his singing when he heard soft breathing on the phone, indicating that Ava indeed fell asleep.

"Goodnight baby" he said while smiling and hung up.

Ahhhh I love their phone conversations. Do you guys? Communication is very important for this couple 🖤. Sorry for the slow updates, writer's block is trying to get the best of me😪
