They walked out the door and headed for the elevator arm in arm. "So would you still like to join my sister today?" Her face lit up at the mention of his sister. "Absolutely. I think it would be a lot of fun, don't you?" He grinned mischievously. "I know it will. With my sister around there's never a dull moment." Jordan noticed the tenderness with which he spoke of his sister. "Somehow I don't doubt that. Tell me about your childhood please." "Sure what would you like to know?" Jordan looked thoughtful for a moment. "How about when you were a teenager?" Andy smiled. "Are you sure that's what you want to know?" Laughing at the grimace on his face she shook her head. A playful sigh escaped his lips and he began. "I was kinda goofy when I was a kid." She looked up at him stunned. "I don't really believe that." He smiled and nodded toward the open elevator door. "Oh no it's absolutely true. My brother and I attended an all boys' prep school back in Chicago. We wore the suit with a tie and the whole nine yards." She wrinkled her nose. "I bet you were really cute." Andy rolled his eyes. "Not really. I was always the skinny kid with glasses." "So what happened? I mean you aren't that way now." "Your right I ditched the glasses for contacts and started working out with weights." "Oh do you still work out?" "Yes I generally work out about three days a week. I try to stay fit but I'm not obsessed with it or anything. If I don't have time then I just don't do it. What about you, surely you workout too?" "Actually I don't. I stay pretty thin because of my diet. I do like to do karate though. I'm not a fanatic or anything but I do enjoy getting out there and beating a punching bag up especially if I've had a particularly hard day." "So how long have you taken martial arts?" Jordan looked thoughtful for a moment. "About seven years now." The shocked look on Andy's face was enough for Jordan. She began laughing at him. "I guess you're not exactly the best woman to pick on are you?" "No I suppose not. I don't really use it on people unless I absolutely have to. I mean if I can talk my out of something I will. I used it the other day because it was use it or die." "I understand what you're saying. I find it very fascinating and I wish that I had the opportunity to learn but I think it's a bit late now." "No it isn't you could still do it if you really wanted to. I could show you a few moves if you like." Andy laughed "Are you kidding I don't want every bone in my body broken. Besides I like thinking of you as a tender and soft woman not one who could probably break me in two." Now it was Jordan's turn to laugh. "What are you talking about? I highly doubt I could break you in two pieces." She giggled as they walked. "So did you play any sports?" He looked uncomfortable. "Not very many I told you I was the skinny kid with glasses. I did things like diving and golf." "Well that's something." "What about you did you do any sports?" She leaned her head back and closed her eyes so the sun could shine on her face more. "Yes, in junior high I played soccer and softball and in high school I was a cheerleader." "I can see you doing those things." "I've been playing soccer and softball since I was young. I guess I was a very active child and they offered what I needed to keep me entertained. I even did cheering for a junior league football team." They arrived at his house ready to eat. The smell of bacon engulfed them as they walked through the door. Andy led Jordan to out to the veranda with a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean.
