cocked his head to the side and his brow furrowed. Suddenly he wondered if Tai knew more about what had happened than she had been told by him. Did Meredith tell her about his meeting with her dad? Or tell her about the ring? Jordan was really worried that she might have. He couldn’t give up though.
    “Tai, just talk with him for your sanity. Something is up; maybe he’s nervous. It couldn’t hurt to talk to him. He loves you way beyond I ever thought one person was capable of love. But with Bethany, I’m beginning to understand. Come on, Tai, don’t wait because you have your own fears, you know damn well Raiden wants forever with you.” She just shook her head. Jordan knew that was it. Hopefully Bethany had better luck with Raiden.
    “Good luck, beautiful.” he whispered as he left.
    Bethany
    She hoped this intervention would work. Although she thought that maybe Jordan would have it easier with Tai. Raiden walked in, but he was a little early.
    “Be with you in a minute, Raiden. I get my break here soon.” He nodded her direction and walked towards his usual booth.
    She got her break and grabbed Raiden a soda before joining him at the table. “Thank you for coming, Raiden.”
    He nodded, “It’s no problem, but I feel like Tai should be here and I should be meeting with Jordan.” That was expected. “What’s going on, Bethany?” Raiden continued.
    “What the hell are you waiting for?” she snapped, and gaining his complete attention.
    “I don’t want a lecture, Bethany.” She shook her head at him. He didn’t get it.
    “Raiden, the longer you wait the more doubt she has.” Raiden’s eyes fell away from her telling her he hadn’t thought about that.
    “I don’t know. I haven’t found the right moment. I was thinking about doing it next week when her dad was in town.” Her dad was coming in? Bethany was shocked. Tai hadn’t mentioned that. “I was going to surprise her she doesn’t know he’s coming,” Raiden continued, well now that made sense. It didn’t change the facts. Tai was worried.
    “Raiden, I’ve talked to Tai. She’s nervous and dude, I know you are too, but the longer you wait the more you risk destroying more than your own chance at happiness,” she stressed.
    “I want Tai happy. I don’t want to mess that up.” He sighed and Bethany grew frustrated. Was he that blind to what was happening between her and Jordan?
    “I wasn’t only talking about Tai.” He stared at her. He was blind. She was going to have to spell it out. “Raiden, you have blinders on. Jordan and I…we’re…well…we’re getting close, but I’m not putting it all out there because if I do, and something happens and we have to go through with the arrangement, it will break me.” She could see the emotion flash in his eyes. He didn’t want to hurt her either.
    “I’m sorry, Bethany. I didn’t think of that. I just want to make sure she’s not going to say no.” His admittance that he was still scared of this sent Bethany spiraling.
    “Dude, wake up she’s not going anywhere. Raiden you did it, you got her over her fear she’s ready to say yes. Your stalling though is making her question every fucking detail.” At her words this time, he covered his face with his hands and brought his elbows to the table.
    “Are you sure, Bethany, because I couldn’t take it if she said no?”
    She winked at him, “I’m sure, playboy.” She laughed as she stood up. “I got to get back to work, but remember, Raiden, it’s about more than you, and even more than you and Tai. Jordan and I are involved as well.” She left him with that final thought, but she wasn’t sure if it was going to sink in.
    “Hope you had better luck, Jordan,” she whispered as she began work again.
    Jordan
    “So…?” he questioned from the kitchen the minute she opened the door.
    “Smells good, like always.” she chuckled.
    “Thank you,” he replied, turning to face her he stared and waited.
    “He’s waiting
