“You don’t mean that you consider my real name to be Body Hottie do you?”
“Well of course it is. You’re my pet person. So I had to give you a pet name. You didn’t think I would name you something like Mr. Muggles or Cricket, or Socks, or Pickle.”
“Pickle?”
“Well yeah, as you’re like the size of a small dill pickle. Socks because you’re always so close to the ground you can see everyone’s socks and cricket because you’re small. Mr. Muggles, I just saw it on a tv and thought it was cute. I really just went with Body Hottie becuase Ellie has called you Body Hottie so much that everyone knows you as that already. I don’t even think Steph as an example knows you by anything else. So it just seemed appropriate to keep your existing name.” Sara said as she smiled at Jordan sweetly giving his head a gentle pat before he took a few steps onto her hand.
The idea of Body Hottie being his actual name felt odd to Jordan. He wasn’t crazy about the name but he had been called it so many times the past few days it no longer felt foreign or strange. He readily responded to it. However, it was embarrassing in some situations. He wondered if it was only odd to him. As Anna didn’t seem to mind or think anything of it. She had even commented on how others had done this. He also couldn’t imagine being named Pickle or Socks.
“Spin around so I can get a good look at you? Are you sure you are comfortable? If we need to make adjustments now is the time to say something.” Sara said as Jordan felt her eyes watching his move as turned around in her hand.
“It does seem comfortable. Like it’s not rubbing awkwardly or anything. All things considered, it’s better than I expected.”
“I’m so glad it’s better than you thought. I believe you have something to tell Chloe, little man.”
“What? I do?”
“Manners,” Sara whispered quietly yet sternly but it was still loud enough for everyone to hear.
“Oh right. Of course. Thank you, Chloe.” Jordan said a bit sheepishly. He couldn’t believe how much she had spent on him.
“You’re very welcome. I’m just glad it’s comfortable and not as embarrassing as you were thinking. According to the manual, it even has a camera built in.”
“So like we could send him undercover.”
“We aren’t spies. Where would he be going undercover too?”
“Ellie’s house. Don’t you wonder what her secret skincare routine is? It’s weird she won’t dish right?”
“I mean yeah it is a little strange. Wait, you can’t pull me into your antics. That’s what you have Ellie for.”
“I can’t pull Ellie into a scheme involving Ellie. You need to be my ride or die.” Sara said with a bit of a fake whine.
“I love you but no. I’m not scheming to send poor Jordan on some covert ops mission into her home to find her skin routine.”
“He might enjoy it. He seems to like adventure as he ran off into Dayton’s backyard without issue.” Sara said with a smirk as she looked down at Jordan.
“Very funny. I’m not spying on Ellie. So just forget about it.” Jordan retorted crossing his arms for added effect.
“Oh fine. You two are no fun sometimes.” Sara said
