Her insecurities are my fucking fault.” He jumped up and took a swing at the nearest tree. Bethany was taken back.
    “No, it’s Raiden’s, for stalling,” she retorted.
    “Yes, but she wouldn’t have reason to have that kind of doubt, if I hadn’t done what I did.” He knelt in front of her and cupped her cheeks placing a light kiss against her lips.
    She sighed, she couldn’t argue with him, because in all likelihood Jordan was right. His light kiss reminded her of what she wanted so badly, but couldn’t have, not yet at least.
    “Maybe an intervention is in order,” she thought out loud.
    “Hmmm…that’s an idea,” he responded, taking a seat next to her again and lounging back. Damn, he was sexy in all the right ways. He smiled at her and her heart skipped a beat.
    “I’ll talk to Raiden and you talk to Tai,” she continued trying to pull her stare from his body.
    “That might seem odd to them,” he answered, taking another strawberry from the basket they had packed. She watched him carefully wishing this was a date. Wishing that at the end of the day they would be curled up in her bed with no clothes on. “Shit,” she muttered.
    “What is it, beautiful?” The concern look now etched on his face made her cringe. She hadn’t meant to say that out loud.
    “Nothing. I agree about it being strange, but I’ve known Raiden my whole life and even though you and Tai didn’t work out, there is a connection that only you two have.” He didn’t argue with her. Nor did he question about her changing the subject back to Raiden and Tai. She liked that he never pushed her.
    He was getting bolder in his moves. Saying ‘I love you.’ The light kiss on her lips, it was all nice, and it was Jordan’s way of saying ‘I care. I’m not leaving. It’ll work out.’ It was also his way of moving things forward while allowing her to have her space and somewhat guard her heart, she was failing miserably though at that.

Jordan
    The day had arrived. He would be confronting Tai about her fears. He would ask for a huge favor, one he most certainly didn’t deserve. Bethany was working today so Raiden would be meeting her at the diner leaving Jordan to travel to Raiden’s house to meet with Tai.
    He climbed into the car and started it up. The drive wasn’t long, but it was torture.
    “Hey, Tai.” Jordan said as he walked out to the back porch where he knew she was waiting.
    “Hi, Jordan, what’s going on?” she questioned him right away as he took a seat at the patio table. As expected, both Raiden and Tai were confused about Jordan wanting to meet with Tai and Bethany wanting to meet with Raiden.
    “Tai, I need you to do something for me.” He felt like an ass asking her for a favor after everything he had put her through.
    “What do you need?” She was confused, he could hear it in her tone.
    “Propose to Raiden.” He spit out. It was lame. He knew that, but he loved Bethany and they were stuck at a standstill till Raiden and Tai took another step towards marriage.
    “Excuse me? Why?” She was just staring at him.
    This was going to sound selfish and it was. “Because he’s stalling and I’m falling hard for Bethany. But she’s scared to put her heart out there in case she has to fulfill her obligations. I know she’s falling for me, please, Tai.” He was begging he knew that, but he needed her to understand.
    “I can’t do that, Jordan. I need him to do it. I need to know he’s sure. I’m sorry, Jordan.” He sighed at her words, because he understood where this was coming from. He didn’t know what more to really say, but he tried one last attempt to get her to see she didn’t have to fear things.
    “Tai, talk with him, anything. Something is holding him back find out what it is. Aren’t you curious?” he pressed her for an answer.
    “Of course I am, Jordan.” Well that was good. “But I don’t want him to feel like I’m forcing him to do something he isn’t sure of.” He
