Vasilisa’s lips pulled into a smile when she heard his comment before shrugging a little, “Really? Here was me thinking that was what you were aspiring to,” she teased him, poking his bicep with a chuckle. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been properly attracted to someone when she was sober; usually she ran for the hills. She didn’t know what made Jordan different, but he was. One of her own hands moved into his hair as they kissed before she laughed softly at his observation, “That’s because I do,” she replied, biting on her bottom lip as she looked at him.

"Oh, always." He smirked slightly when she poked his bicep, noting that it was already the second time she had done that today. When Jordan had invited Vasilisa on a hike, this hadn't been his intention in the slightest. But he felt drawn to her, like a moth to a flame and was having a hard time thinking about anything but her lips on his right now. He watched her bite her bottom lip and drew her lips back to his, kissing her a little deeper this time. "Good." He murmured against her lips, running a hand up her side. His hips rocked against her of their own accord and he knew this was probably escalating further than he intended it to, but he couldn't bring himself to pull away.

“Well,” Vasi paused as though she was thinking really hard about what she was going to say next, “I suppose I might find out if it does or not.” She couldn’t help how her breath hitched in her throat when Jordan grabbed her thighs and she helped him to wrap her legs around him, pressing a little closer as she did. She liked how carefree he made her feel… she felt less broken. “Is it? Here I thought you were a gentleman,” she grinned. She remained totally still when he leaned in and brushed his lips over hers. Her eyes moved up to meet his blue ones and her grin morphed into a softer smile. “Look at you like what?” she whispered as she leaned in to kiss his lips gently.

Suddenly it was like they were the only two people in existence. And they probably were for a few miles. He liked the way her breath hitched in her throat as he pulled her closer and he liked how her body pressed against his and how her legs wrapped tightly around his waist. "A gentleman, yes. But not superman." He smirked slightly and walked backwards a little so he was standing in slightly shallower water, where he could plant his feet firmly on the ground. He didn't even have a chance to reply to her comment where she was feigning innocence before she kissed him. His hand moved to the back of her head, keeping her lips against his as he kissed her back, softly at first to test the waters, while his other hand remained on her thigh. His fingers curled into her hair at the nape of her neck as he pulled back ever so slightly, a lazy smile appearing on his face. "Like you want to kiss me." He eventually replied.

Vasi rolled her eyes, “Haven’t we already established size isn’t everything Jordan?” she replied to him with a little teasing smile. She watched Jordan as he came closer, closing the gap that was most likely deemed unacceptable for friends that just met not too long ago. But she didn’t mind… not at all. After another beat, she reached her arms up to wrap around his neck, a softer smile moving across her face. “I was getting tired treading water,” she murmured.

"No?" Jordan replied to her remark raising her eyebrows. The child inside him wanted to follow with an innuendo but he restrained himself. Suddenly her arms were around his neck and he couldn't help grabbing her thighs and wrapping her legs around his waist. Luckily he could just about touch the bottom with the tips of his toes to stop them both going under the water. "Yeah? You know it's rude to make a man do all the work." He murmured. He watched the way her eyes looked at him and right there he knew he was goner. "You need to stop looking at me like that, Vasi." He softly spoke, his lips brushing against hers ever so slightly.

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasilisa couldn’t remember the last time she had had such harmless fun. She had forgotten about all the shit that was going on in her life and she was grateful for that; even if it was only for a little while. She knew she had definitely poked the bear… and that bear was Jordan. A squeal came out of her mouth when he grabbed her foot and dunked her under with him before eventually taking a gulp of air as she resurfaced. “You move fast,” she remarked with a chuckle, swimming a little closer to him.

Jordan bit his bottom lip, smirking slightly as Vasi surfaced and came towards him. "Well, you're about half my size, you're pretty easy to catch." He moved a little closer to her, closing the gap between them. His eyes were on hers as he debated what he was going to do with her. His eyes flicked down to her lips and back up; it was so quick that if she blinked, she wouldn't have noticed. He wanted to kiss her, but he didn't know if that's that she wanted.

Brayden quickly did the math in his head and laughed softly, rolling his eyes. “So you’re the reason my father left us.” His eyes settled on the younger man and he shook his head. It wasn’t this kid’s fault that Joseph Walker was an asshole but Brayden had no interest in getting to know the person who had been the reason his dad finally left after cheating on his mom for years. “No offense Jordan, but I don’t need this shit in my life. My useless father just barged into my life uninvited and now you? I don’t need a father or a brother, been just fine my whole life.” If he’d been more himself he might not have been reacting like this. The Brayden that he was before the fire was a good guy, someone who would have probably given Jordan a chance but it was too late for that now. “Sorry you got stuck with such a shitty father but I’m not looking for some long lost family.”

Jordan was taken aback by the comment that left Brayden’s mouth. Jordan had been an infant, too young to know what was going on and then he had been kept in the dark about everything for twenty two years. He understood why Brayden was angry but it wasn’t Jordan’s fault. “Right.” Jordan spoke, drawing his lips into a thin line. He didn’t know what else to say to him because he could hardly forge a relationship with someone who wasn’t interested. “Good to know I’m not missing anything.” He told him with gritted teeth, turning on his heel before stopping in his tracks. “And just so you know, he’s not the shitty father you think he is. Yes, he’s made mistakes, but if you actually gave him a chance, you might learn he’s not as bad as the picture you’ve painted in his head.” Jordan spat, before turning back around and storming off down the hall.

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasya let out a giggle when she felt Jordan move his arms to her sides, letting him pull her a little closer to him. “That’s olympic diver to you,” she replied as she turned to watch him as he manoeuvred to float on his back. Her eyes narrowed playfully as she sensed an opportunity. She swam over to him slowly. “You look very comfortable there,” she remarked before she put her hands on his shoulders and pushed down to duck his head under the water. She grinned before quickly moving to swim away again.

Jordan felt like he would never tire of hearing Vasilisa laugh. It was honestly the most beautiful sound. He closed his eyes as he relaxed in the water, using his arms to float, just enjoying the sun shining down on his face but suddenly Vasi had he arms on him and was dunking him under the water. Well, now she had declared war. He swam underwater over to where she was fleeing and grabbed her foot, pulling her under with him, grinning before surfacing for air. He brushed his soaking hair out of his face and waited for her to come back up, not swimming away this time.

[jordywalker]

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasi didn’t say anything to his response on him being able to hear her laugh. In all honestly, she wasn’t used to being so bold around men but she was glad she was feeling a lot more confident today instead, especially since Jordan had so much banter. She took a few moments to let her eyes wander over him but wasn’t given enough time since before she knew it, he was cannonballing into the water. “I’m coming!” she called as she walked to the water’s edge, letting out a yelp as he splashed her. Another beat later and she was gracefully diving into the water before swimming a few strokes before glancing around to look for him.

Jordan watched Vasilisa dive in, impressed by her grace as she swam through the water. As she surfaced, he came up behind her and placed his hands on her sides, pulling her towards him. "Professional hiker and olympic swimmer, huh? You definitely are the real life Lara Croft." He grinned, even though her back was facing him. He eventually let go of her, floating on his back, still chuckling.

[jordywalker]

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasi laughed as she shrugged a little, ready to make a comment about how he was saying that because he had the hots for her. But then, he also had a point. In her eyes Mia was better too. “Luckily I’ve got 20/20 vision so I don’t need to worry about running into things,” she quipped back, smirking at him as she continued to walk. She started to giggle in response to his words, imagining a baby born with biceps like his and honestly had to pull herself together. “I believe you , don’t worry.” She jumped a little when she felt his hands on her waist before settling a little, “Well I was hoping water would be involved,” she replied to him. It wasn’t too much of a distance down to the water so she decided getting ready in the clearing was a better option. She dropped her own backpack to the ground and took off her shoes and beginning to strip off. She kept eye contact with Jordan as she pulled her tank top over her head, smirking a little. “What are you waiting for?”

"I can hear you giggling at me, Vasi." Jordan, smiled to himself, but he didn't mind it. It was actually a wonderful sound. Before he knew it, she was stripping off in front of him and he hadn't been prepared for what was underneath those clothes of hers. It took a moment for him to compose himself before he did the same and pulled his t-shirt over his head, tossing it on top of his backpack. He kicked his shoes and socks off and was left in his shorts, which happened to also be swim shorts. Once he was done, he was running towards the water, cannonballing in, enjoying the cool refreshing water on his skin after getting so hot on the hike. When he surfaced, he flicked his head to the side, shaking the water out of his hair, looking over to Vasi. "Water is great, you should come on in." He gave her a goofy grin, splashing her a little when she got close to the edge of the water.

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasilisa should have known he wasn’t going to know who Idina Menzel was. “Elsa from Frozen,” she explained as easily as she could. Mia was the one who had really helped her knowledge on the theatre world; otherwise she would probably be along the same lines as Jordan right now. She had to admit, she was glad he didn’t ask her to elaborate on her comment since she’d never want to influence someone’s opinion on someone. She wasn’t that type of person, or at least, she didn’t think she was. She nodded, a big grin on her face as she poked one of his biceps, “Yup, I mean, someone could break something if they ran into those too hard,” she teased before following him up the ridge to the clearing. Vasya let out a soft gasp when she saw the waterfall and the scenery surrounding it. “Wow… it’s beautiful,” she smiled widely again as she took in the sight.

Jordan nodded when Vasi explained who she was. "The chick that turns shit to ice? Yeah, Mia is better." Jordan laughed when she poked his bicep. "Better what where you're running then." He smirked, winking at her. It was a cheesy like but he didn't care. "I'll have you know I worked hard for these biceps. I wasn't born with them." He had honestly been quite a weedy kid but she didn't need to know that. He worked hard for his physique and he was proud of it. Jordan came up behind her, placing his hands gently on her waist and whispered into her ear. "Now you understand why I asked you to wear a bathing suit." He smirked before pulling away and walking over to the water. He took his backpack off his shoulders and set it down by a rock, taking another swig of water before placing the bottle back in the bag.

[jordywalker]

vasilisaxvolkova​:

Vasya met his eyes for a moment as he told her that he wouldn’t judge her. She hoped, if their friendship went beyond a hike in the woods, that he was telling the truth. He just seemed to light… like he didn’t have a care in the world. She was sure he perhaps did but she needed people who didn’t drag on her and make her feel like she was carrying a thousand burdens at once. “Yeah I have. You think she’s good in the gym, I’ve heard her through a door when she’s been in the shower. Move over Idina Menzel,” she laughed as she thought of the few times either one of them had stayed over. Meanwhile Vasi felt like she sounded like a strangled cat in comparison. “Of course she did,” was all Vasi managed to get out as she ground her teeth together to keep from saying anything else. That child did like to run her mouth. She never liked to think ill of anyone but what she didn’t like was someone who put on a personal of being some sweet southern belle, only to spread other people’s business around town. “Thanks,” she smirked before rolling eyes at his flexing, “Because you literally look like Pop-Eye after he’s had his spinach.”

Jordan just furrowed his brow at her. "Idina Menzel?" He questioned with a puzzled look. The analogy was completely lost on him because he had no idea what she was talking about. But it was true, Mia had pipes. At Vasilisa’s comment, Jordan got the impression that she wasn't the biggest fan of Emmi. Of course he hardly knew the girl but she had seemed nice enough, if not a little too sweet. But then again he wasn't used to the southern type. Jordan burst out laughing when she compared him to pop eye. It was something he had never heard before, but it tickled him. "Pop eye, really? Is that how you see me?" He questioned her, still laughing. "Come on Lara Croft, we're almost at the top." He smirked, as they walked a little further and came out into a clearing. The waterfall could be seen behind the last few trees of the dense forest and it was just as spectacular as he remembered. He turned to look at her so he could catch her reaction to the view.

Jordan was starting to wonder what the hell he had been thinking when he asked this woman for a drink. She was the complete polar opposite to him and in his opinion, a little dull. “I’m a personal trainer.” He told her, taking a sip of his drink. How about you, what do you do?” He was thinking about an exit strategy, but then again, something had drawn him to her in the first place so he decided to stick it out and find out if Joanna had any interesting qualities. 

Joanna’s eyebrows shot up towards her hairline when he mentioned he was a personal trainer. Unless she was sitting with one of the trainers who train the Hollywood elite, then his was a level too low for her. “I’m a wedding planner,” she replied, as she picked up her glass, “And this wedding planner is leaving. I don’t tend to mix with personal trainers.” She stood up then, motioned for the drinks to be put on her tab and took herself out the door before someone else could see her.

END.

 emmivalentine​:

Emmi nodded with a big smile, that Valentine one. “Perfect!” She nodded a little more with his question, falling into a giggle. “Pie contest! That’s what we do here in tiny towns, it’s how we entertain ourselves. Last year one of my brothers won. I’m not too sure who’s all up this year but I’m sure it’ll be exciting! It’s not too late to sign up, y’know.” She walked with him along the sidewalk and out of the farmer’s market to where the Downtown shops started. “There’s an arcade, like I said… and there!” She stopped and looked at him. Once she had his attention, Emmi pointed out one of the storefronts. “That’s Mallory’s. Best 50s diner ever.“ She looked back to Jordan and his clothes. “You’re a runner! There are a few good trails by Jasper Forest, but if I’m being honest, the best one is at Castle Beach!” She fell back into pace to show him around some more. “Is there anything specific you’re into?”

Jordan contemplated the idea of a pie eating contest. The boy could eat, but he also wasn’t the type to jump into activities with people he didn’t know. Okay, that was a lie, but it was only a specific activity he would jump into with someone he didn’t know. “Maybe next time.” He told her, walking alongside her as she continued her tour. He looked at all the things she was pointing at so enthusiastically, smiling a little at her energy. “I do all sorts of sport, but yeah I run too.” He explained, making a mental note of the places she was mentioning. He’d be sure to check them out at some point, because Long Island didn’t really have many places to run apart from along the sidewalk. “Do you run?” Jordan asked Emmi. It would be nice to have some company on a run if she was interested. “I work out a lot. I’m actually a qualified trainer, is there a gym around here?” If he was sticking around for any length of time, it would be worth getting a job and a gym seemed like his best shot.

braydenwalker​:

Brayden watched as the male seemed to try to collect himself and his eyes narrowed when he asked about who he was. “Yeah…why?” Asteria wasn’t the kind of town where people came looking for you and he last person to show up unexpectedly looking for him here was his father so Brayden was a little on edge now as the other man kept speaking. Walker. He knew before Jordan apparently, even finished his sentence what he was going to say. Brayden sighed heavily and rubbed at his temples with a nod. “Of course you are.” He folded his arms across his chest and looked the man up and down, seeing bits of his father in the younger man. “How old are you?” Brayden was looking at him and guessing he was no more than 25 but his wheels were already turning as he tried to figure out if his father had another family before he even left his first one.

Jordan had expected him to be upset or defensive, so the way he reacted had actually been better than he thought it might be. “Twenty two...twenty three in December.” He told him. He knew where he was going with this though, he wanted to know he existed when their dad left him. And honestly, Jordan didn’t know. His father hadn’t told him that much. This was just a whole mess of a situation that neither of them had asked for. “Look, I’m sorry for dumping this on you; I’ve only just found out myself. But I’d like to get to know you if you’d let me.” Jordan didn’t know what Brayden would say, but it was worth a shot. 

[jordywalker]

joannaxzhang​:

Well if there was one thing going for Jordan, it was he was at least enjoyable to look at it. Beyond that? She wasn’t really sure. Joanna took a drink out of her glass before setting it back on the table. “So tell me Jordan, what do you do for a living?” she asked him, cocking her head to the side a little. 

Jordan was starting to wonder what the hell he had been thinking when he asked this woman for a drink. She was the complete polar opposite to him and in his opinion, a little dull. “I’m a personal trainer.” He told her, taking a sip of his drink. How about you, what do you do?” He was thinking about an exit strategy, but then again, something had drawn him to her in the first place so he decided to stick it out and find out if Joanna had any interesting qualities.

vasilisaxvolkova​:

“Yeah well, maybe you shouldn’t judge this short ass by it’s appearance then should you?” she challenged with a grin. She glanced over her shoulder at him before eventually slowing to let him take the lead again since she didn’t actually know where she was going, “Yeah it is; I feel like a real Lara Croft,” she chuckled. Vasya listened to Jordan telling her about how he found the town, noting how he didn’t really divulge much information about himself. “Oh they do? You’ll need to point out which ones you like,” she replied with a smirk. She thanked the heaven above for decent reflexes as she caught the water bottle he had tossed to her in a fumbling motion. “Alright alright quarterback, you don’t need to flex your arm muscles at me; I can see them from here.” She cracked it open and took a big gulp of water before looking up at the sun accusingly.

"Oh, I would never judge you." He quipped, shooting her back a grin. He walked ahead of her again, leading the way through the trail. If he remembered rightly, they should be reaching the top at any point now. He listened out for the crashing waterfall but couldn't quite make it out yet through the chirping birds and rustling trees. He raised an eyebrow at her mention of Lara Croft. She was not wrong. He smirked a little, looking down as they walked. If he made a comment about that, it would probably be inappropriate and he was trying not to scare her off. He thought about the people he had met during his short time in the town and honestly he thought they were all pretty nice. Is this what small town life was like? "Well Dylan has been a great mentor in the gym, Mia is a little powerhouse, have you heard her sing?" He exclaimed, remembering the time he walked into the empty fitness studio to find her belting out some song. She suddenly became ten times more attractive but he got the impression that she was off limits. "I played some ball with Milo and his friends at the beach last week and also Emmi gave me a lowdown of the town." He grinned when she just about caught the bottle. "Nice catch, Vasi." He smirked before narrowing his eyes. "How did you know I played football in college?" He questioned and couldn't help flexing his arms a little more of effect.

braydenwalker​:

Brayden had been on the phone with his mom when the knock came to the door and he got up from the couch to head that way. “Alright mama well my dinner’s here so I’m gonna let you go and get to destroying a pizza.” He chuckled at her response, told her he loved her and hung up, grabbing his cash off the kitchen counter and opening the door to see a young man stood outside, no pizza in hand. “Oh. Uh…you forget the pizza my man?” He asked, looking around outside in confusion before his blue green eyes landed back on the man before him. It took a moment but he finally realized this was definitely not the pizza guy and he cleared his throat. “Sorry um…you lost or looking for somebody?”

Jordan frowned, confused at first, before he realised the guy was evidently expecting food to arrive. He shook his head, realising there was no point beating around the bush. “Sorry to bother you, are you Brayden Walker?” He asked, checking he was at the right apartment before unloading news on the wrong person. He waited for confirmation before continuing. “I know this might come as a surprise, but I’m Jordan Walker.” He took a deep breath before finishing what he wanted to say. “And I’m your half brother.” Jordan was usually a pretty confident person, but right now all he wanted to do was crawl into a hole and never come back out. He couldn’t bare the tension as he waited for Brayden to say something.

valentinemilo​:

“No worries.” That was how people were in Asteria. They were welcoming when they didn’t need to be and Milo thought that maybe those things canceled out the fact that gossip spread like wildfire and no one’s secrets were safe in a community where everyone was part of the unofficial neighborhood watch. “Sweet, c’mon.” Milo tossed him the volleyball and everyone greeted the new player. “Your serve.” He let him know and jogged over to his position. Life was good when they were all out in the sun with sand between their toes. So good that Milo relaxed and allowed himself to enjoy the moment in a way he hadn’t done in a while. “Where are you from, Jordan?” He asked over the others chatting, everyone’s attention turned to the guy about to serve the ball.

Jordan caught the ball and followed Milo over to the other guys. He briefly introduced himself before he got into position to serve the ball. It was a little odd to him for people to be so friendly to a stranger, but that was part of small town life, he guessed. “Long Island.” He told Milo before serving the ball, sending it flying over the net. He watched one of the other players hit it back, and watched where it was going, ready to send it back.
