Chapter 7 Alicia's Dream

Alicia explained that the doll she had given me was called Rori, after me. I guessed that she had gotten this doll recently…probably from Jordan. She had another doll named Savannah, and she said that they were both tired, so we should rock them in our arms. Jordan came in as we were doing this, and chuckled at the sight of me with a baby-doll moving slowly back and forth in my arms. I smiled, but blushed a little. It was one thing to have your boyfriend’s sister naming a doll after you, a whole other thing to actually have him watching you rock it! About ten minutes later, Ms. Lykes came home from work( I thought it was pretty crazy that she had to work on a Saturday, but I guess some people do) and grabbed Alicia, explaining to us that Alicia needed a check-up. Jordan hugged his mom and Alicia, and wished her a good visit, and I sat on the floor, stroking Tootsie’s fuzzy little head. Jordan came back to the floor when they had left, and he smiled at me.
“What?”
“Nothing, I just didn’t think that you liked cats.”
“Oh, well, I do.”
“So, who’s your favorite Disney princess?”
“That’s kind of a weird question, coming from you, Jordan.”
“I know, but I still want to know.”
“Why?”
“Just curious.”
“Umm…well I guess I’d have to go with Belle. She falls in love with a beast, I mean, how much worse can love get?”
“Oh cool. I thought you’d be more of a Cinderella type.”
“Why?”
“Well, because…” he hung his head a little so that I couldn’t see his eyes, then said,” You’re beautiful, but you don’t really have a good…or good looking family.”
“Aww, Jordan! Thanks!” I leaned over, and hugged him, holding him close.
“Well, do you want to know anything weird about me, then?”
“Yea, actually, I do,” I said, as I sat back up straight from the hug.
“What is it?”
“Well, I kinda wondered what you thought of you and me…you know, together.”
“Well, I guess I’d consider you my girlfriend, if you’d like.”
“Well, I guess I’d consider you my boyfriend, if you’d like.”
“Yea, I’d like that.” We both cracked up, though I’m not entirely sure why, and fell back together. Jordan checked his watch, then said, “Hey, will you come with me to do something?”
“Sure.”
