Grannie

Grannie struggled to keep a straight face while Jordan and JT bickered back and forth about the qualities of the chocolate fudge sundae, Jordan’s chosen name for her flavor of the week date, which clearly didn’t sit well with JT. It had been his idea to name the dates, he argued, so he should be the one to pick the name. She should jump in and break it up before either one of them said something they were going to later regret. But she couldn’t resist observing their obvious attraction to each other for a while longer. Why did they resist each other so hard?

“I can’t understand either one of you two when you talk over each other like that so everyone calm down.” Grannie finally bellowed.

JT turned to stare at Grannie with clenched jaw. He wasn’t done having his say but there would be time for that. She first wanted to hear Jordan’s perspective. Then she would know how to react.

“Well, Jordan?” Grannie asked and clasped her hands lightly in her lap. “By the way, you look lovely tonight, dear. How did the date go?”

Jordan cocked her brow at JT with an ‘I-told-you-so’ expression written all over her face, which only earned her the rolling of his eyes. Grannie was all smiles on the inside but maintained what she hoped was a schooled, bland expression on the outside. Apparently the dress and boots had gotten exactly the reaction Grannie had expected when she encouraged Jordan to wear it tonight. The poor boy didn’t stand a chance. He should just give in immediately and be done with it.

“It was the first decent date I’ve had since this whole thing started.”

“Ouch. That stings. I seem to recall you enjoying yourself at Canterbury Castle,” JT said, resting his arm on the counter and leaning in closer to Jordan. “Especially the part where we posed for pictures.”

A pretty shade of pink flushed Jordan’s cheeks and she punched JT in the arm. “You know I’m talking about the dating service. You were a perfect gentleman at the reception hall, but that wasn’t an official date.”

“I didn’t know you two posed for pictures,” Grannie interrupted. Based on Jordan’s reaction to JT’s comment there was definitely something going on that Jordan hadn’t filled her in on. “Where are the pictures?”

“The photographer said he’d get back to me,” Jordan said. “I haven’t heard back yet. Anyway, Steve was a nice guy. And we have quite a bit in common. He got his teaching degree from Grand Valley State as well but he’s four years older so we weren’t there at the same time.”

“Oh,” Grannie said in surprise. She hadn’t expected Jordan’s date to amount to anything. This could be a bump in the road of her well laid plans. “What does he teach?”

“Seventh grade Geography at the middle school in Royal Oak. And he’s going to put in a good word for me before my interview at Oak Ridge Elementary on Tuesday.”

“Well that’s wonderful, honey.”

“Yeah,” JT sighed and ran his hand through his hair, “anything to help land you a job in town is welcome.
