Staal [A Jordan Staal Story] Sixty-Eight

“Hey Staalsy?”

“What’s up Vero?”

“Have you seen Brittany? She was running around with Will and I haven’t seen her in a while.”

“No I haven’t, sorry. If I do though I’ll let you know.”

“Thanks Mir,” she said before walking into the lounge.

Miriya made her way to her office where she found a little girl sitting at her desk. “Hey Britt, your mommy’s looking for you. What are you doing in here?”

“I’m coach,” she said with a giggle.

“Well coach Fleury your mom is waiting for you in the lounge.”

“Okay,” she slid off the chair and skipped out of the room.

Miriya sat down at her desk and took out her phone to see when would be a good day for this Bella Hardy girl to attend practice. She saw that Tuesday the twenty-second had practice scheduled and figured that schools should have started Christmas break by then. That would be the day. She quickly typed up an e-mail to Ray requesting the date and headed home.

“Hey baby,” Jordan said as she stepped into the living room. “You pick a day for the girl to come?”

“Yes, Ray just needs to approve it.”

“Babe I’m sure that Ray will let you do anything you want, the man loves you.”

“I know he does,” she said with a laugh. “But I love you.”

“Oh really, well I love you.” He pulled her onto his lap and just as their lips were about to meet Scott’s cry was heard from the bedroom.

“I’ll get him, but we’ll get back to this later.” She got up from the couch and made her way to Scott’s room where he continued to cry. She took him from his crib and the two Staals went to the kitchen where Scott was placed in his high chair. The second his feet were through the leg holes the tears stopped falling and he knew that food was coming. Miriya mixed his cereal a made a sandwich for herself and for Jordan. Her sandwich was put aside until Scott had finished eating and had been handed over to Nik for playtime.

Later that night Miriya walked into the bedroom after putting Scott to bed and found Jordan watching TV. “Well it’s later so where were we?” She asked sitting on her side of the bed and Jordan turned the TV off. “I’m pretty sure it was right about here,” she said just before pressing her lips to his as he pulled her onto his lap. The kiss deepened as their tongues battle and Jordan’s went from Miriya’s waist, up under her shirt and to her bra, unhooking it in one motion but not removing his hand from her back. He gently lay her down onto the pillow, but not before removing her shirt and bra, leaving her in just a pair of his boxers. “Moving quickly tonight aren’t we?”

“I’m sorry my love, do you want me to slow down?”

“Just a little,” she said pulling his brown Bauer shirt over his head and running her hands over his muscular chest. His lips founds hers but only for a brief second before finding their way to her neck causing a wide smile to come to her face “Oh god Jordan I hate it when you do that.”

“Why?” he asked before picking up where he left off.

“Because you could get me to do just about anything right now.”

This caused his lips to form a smile, “Well then it’s a good thing all I want you to do is let me kiss you and make love to you.”

“Okay Mr. Staal, do whatever you want.”

“Well I’m glad I have your permission,” he kissed her forehead before sliding off his and her boxers.

Hours later Miriya lay in Jordan’s arms with a smile. “I’m gonna have to say that was the best Saturday night of my life.”

“I’m gonna have to agree. I’m glad we decided to take it slow today, it was so worth it.” He placed a kiss on her cheek and hand before drifting into a peaceful sleep.

Sunday morning Miriya woke up later than she would if there was practice or morning skate and made brunch. Erin came over and helped with the cooking before Jordan and Nik made their way into the kitchen. Miriya fed Scott his cereal and he sat giggling in his car-seat as everyone else ate. After the dishes were done everyone went to the living room to play with Scott until his nap time.

“Hello?” Miriya said answering her cell phone.

“You got plans for your day off?” Cassie asked.

“Nope, you wanna bring Geno and Nathan over?”

“Sure you wanna do it later so that the kids are asleep?”

“Alright, practice isn’t until two tomorrow so I guess we could do that, will there be drinking involved?”

“Geno, Miriya just asked if there would be drinking tonight if we went over.”

Miriya laughed as she heard Geno start laughing. “Okay I know that was a dumb question. So my alcohol or do you want to be nice and pick some up?”

“We’ll grab a couple beers but you got some hard liquor there, right?”

“I should unless Max, Geno and Jordan drank it all,” she said looking over to Jordan, he gave an innocent smile and Miriya went back to her conversation. “If we don’t have anything downstairs I’ll have Jordan pick something up,” she said with a smile.

“Alright,” Cassie said with a laugh. “Nine okay?”

“Yeah that’s good, see you guys later.” She hung up with her best friend and rested her head on Jordan’s shoulder. “Can you do me a favor?”

“Maybe.”

“Go downstairs and see what all we have.”

“What if I don’t want to?”

“Do you remember last night? Do you remember who you feel asleep next to?”

“That is not all you guys did last night, I really think you forget that my room is only half a flight of steps from yours.”

“Aw I’m sorry babe,” Erin said with a giggle.

Miriya lifted her head from Jordan’s shoulder and kissed his cheek. “If you want that again anytime soon you will go downstairs and look.” She said in a joking tone. “But seriously babe please go look and I’ll pick out a movie for all of us to watch.” Jordan got up from the couch and made his way downstairs to the bar and Miriya went to the movie shelf.

A few minutes past and Miriya had finally picked Saving Private Ryan before Jordan came back upstairs. He sat down on the couch and took Miriya’s hand in his before speaking. “Well if it’s just going to be the four of us tonight we should be good. What movie are we going to watch?”

“Good and we’re watching Saving Private Ryan.”

“That’s so long,” he whined.

“We have time to kill; Cassie and Geno aren’t going to be here until nine.”

“Okay, at least there’s violence.”

“And swearing,” Miriya said excitedly before pushing play.

The movie was in fact long and ended around six with a brief ‘intermission’ so that everyone could stretch. Miriya also had to get up at around four when Scott woke up from his nap. Nik and Erin offered to watch him for a few hours to give Miriya and Jordan free time and their offer was accepted. The Staals headed out to Jordan’s Porsche and went to South Side works and ‘their’ restaurant. The staff at Claddagh had become accustom to seeing the Staals over the years and always sat them at the same table, the one next to the window in the castle room.

They sat quietly as the fire crackled and waited for their food. They didn’t talk much the entire time they were there other than an occasional word to the waiter or a soft ‘I love you’ across the table. When dinner was finished and the check had been paid they made their way home. Once in the car they started talking again until one of Miriya’s favorite songs came on and she started singing along.

“Wow baby you haven’t sung for me in a long time,” he said with a smile. “I love it when you sing; you have such a beautiful voice.” All she could do was smile as she continued to sing along with the radio.
