nice pot if I place.”  He seemed proud of his racing career now as he told her what he could about it.
    “Are you famous or something?” she asked still curious, with even more excitement and envy in her expression.
    Jordan laughed out loud at this one.  “Not hardly, but I do okay.  Now you get some sleep,” he demanded as he rose from the bed and walked to the door.  “You’ve had a very long and interesting day, you should be exhausted.  And so am I.”
    “Good night Jordan,” she told him in her low sweet voice as her eyes trailed his every move.
    Jordan whispered his good night and closed the door, smiling all the way to his own bed.  He felt a little inconvenienced having this mysterious little lady in his care, but found himself enjoying her company all at the same time.
    He really didn't want to take her to North Carolina with him either, but didn't want to leave her home alone.  He would only worry about her more then ever.  But he couldn't imagine the teasing he was in for from his friends.  Martin was already bad enough this morning.
    “Jordan Scott...babysitter.  Jordan Scott...social worker,” he thought as he tried to shrug it off and go to sleep.  “Good grief Jordan, what kind of softy are you turning into?  Get rid of her.  Then what?  Feel like shit for doing it?  Just keep her in line...but how?”
     
    The next morning Jordan awakened and dressed to the aroma of fresh coffee brewing and bacon frying.
    “What's this, she remembers how to cook?” he teased as he grabbed a piece of bacon from the plate next to the stove and ate it.
    “Uh-huh,” she laughed in reply.  “How do you like your eggs?” she asked as she playfully shoved another piece of bacon into his mouth.
    “Well done, please.  None of that yellow, runny stuff for this guy.”
    “Mr. Macho huh?” she asked as she watched him grab two plates from the cabinet and begin to set the table for them.
    “Usually,” he muttered out at the thought of taking her shopping for clothes later today.  He shook his head amusingly hoping he wouldn't be spotted by anyone he knows.
    It had only happened once before to him.  Only once had Jordan felt this tingling desire for a woman running through his body like he felt when he was near Dolly.  Victoria and he were engaged to be married and how he loved that woman.  She and Dolly looked nothing alike, but for some reason, Dolly seemed to remind him of her every time they talked.  Her sweet soft little voice and crazy curiosity.
    Jordan thought he and Victoria would be together forever until he found out the truth about her.  Thanks to Martin he was still free and living by himself on the beach enjoying the life he has always dreamed of, but alone.  Now this little blonde seemed to be disrupting all the peace he thought he had found.  Not actually disrupting it...but bringing back old feelings...emotions Jordan had forgotten he had.
    After they had split, Jordan soon realized his tall slim brunette never actually loved him at all.  She only wanted fame and fortune and never could accept Jordan's laid back lifestyle.  She wanted him to give up his racing career and move to California to seek fortune with her.
    Oh and how he almost fell for it.  Until Martin approached and informed him of the truth.  Jordan promised he would never fall in love like that again.  The pain was far too deep to bear.  Now here was Dolly.  A beautiful young lady who seemed so different.  His racing actually excites her.  She shows no desire to go away, only to stay and share the lifestyle that Jordan lives.
    Jordan stared over at her wonderingly as she began clearing the table.  Could he possibly tolerate getting to know her any better?  Could he possibly resist it?
    As they later drove into town, Dolly felt a little uneasy again.  Jordan had hardly spoken much through breakfast and he didn't seem too pleased this morning about having her hanging around him.  He seemed much too
