because I’ve moved on to Greek Mythology and now I want to name my son, Perseus.”
    “Really?” he asked.. He was falling for her more every minute.
    She nodded eagerly before pointing to herself and saying, “Total nerd.”
    “No, I said really, because I love Greek Mythology too.”
    “Really?!”
    “Really,” he said with a smile.   Leanna hated Greek Mythology and pretty much everything else that he was interested in.   Aynslee was made for him.  
    “That’s so awesome. I also love to read. A lot. I read a book every two days or so.”
    “Me too,” he said with a nod, “The guys on the team tease me because I’m always reading instead of playing Xbox with them.”
    She laughed as she looked deep into his eyes. He was usually shy and awkward when he was under the gaze of someone, but not with Aynslee. He couldn’t remember enjoying himself more. They talked about everything. They both agreed that the Wrath of the Titans was a great movie, but it could have been better. Jordan loved country music because of his South Carolina roots, while Aynslee was more into Rap. It made him laugh to think of her rapping about hoes and bitches as she drove to school, but she guaranteed him she had ‘mad flow’, whatever that meant.  
    They talked about living in Nashville and how she loved it more than Knoxville. Jordan talked about South Carolina, telling her how much he loved growing up there close to his relatives and grandparents. She loved Buffalo but sometimes wished that she had grown up in the South. She liked the Southern hospitably and loved the food. They talked about their families and it still blew Jordan’s mind how many siblings she had. Apparently the niece that she stood up in the wedding for was pregnant.  
    “It’s insane! I don’t have kids or am even married for that matter.   And she’s pregnant?! ACK! Jordan, I’m gonna be a great aunt!”
      “You’re the hottest great aunt I’ve ever seen.”
      “You only say that so I’ll sleep with you again.”
      “Maybe,” he teased, taking another mouthful of fettuccine.  
    She laughed as she smacked his thigh, taking another sip of wine. After having their plates cleared from the table, they ordered dessert. Jordan didn’t want the night to end.   He didn’t want to go home to his empty condo, he wanted to stay nuzzled up beside Aynslee just listening to her. As she talked about how she got her suitcase back from her aunt, he wondered if she was feeling the same as he was.He knew that such strong feelings usually didn’t come until months, maybe years, into a relationship but he felt at home with her. He didn’t care if he laughed too loud or if he was being a dork.   She seemed to like him just the way he was.
    As the waiter served their dessert, Aynslee said, “I have the best job ever. I love it. Yesterday, one of my kids told me he was going to be a world class Hippogriff fighter.   How cute was that?”
    “Very cute, ” he agreed.   He though she was too.
      “Yeah, I love my kids. I’m not one of those teachers that think my kids are all I need though, I want my own one day.”
    He looked up, knowing that she was making sure he wanted kids too.  
    “I want kids too, as my mom loves to point out she wants grandchildren and I hope to one day give them to her,” he said receiving another smile.
    “My mom is the same way,” she said slicing into the decadent red velvet cake. “Even though she has seventeen grandchildren and a great grandchild on the way, she still wants more.”
    “Seventeen? Sheesh.”
    Aynslee laughed before putting the forkful of cake into her mouth. When she loudly groaned enjoying her dessert, Jordan’s cock came to life. He went to move closer but then stopped himself, knowing that he needed to tell her about his job situation. He was enjoying himself, immensely, but he knew he owed it to her to tell her how things were with him and his job and his very soon-to-be-realized transfer.
