Guy who shares the same last name as Elo’s favorite singer’s first name
Riker raised his eyebrow at the abrupt mention that he’s probably heard all about her from Jordan - which, to say, she wasn’t wrong… exactly. Riker had been one of Jordan’s closest friends for years so sure, he knew quite a bit about him. But Jezebel Sloane - that part of his life had always remained a mystery. The girl most of his songs had been over. What Riker believed was Jordan’s ‘the one who got away.’ Looking at the girl in her eyes, he gave a slight smile “actually, he hasn’t said anything about you. So you can’t blame me for being curious. For the two years, I’ve known the guy, I hadn’t heard your name for the first time until yesterday,” Riker revealed, watching her features as he said that - curious to what she would think of it. It wasn’t a lie… though it wasn’t exactly the truth either. After all, almost everyone in the band knew there was a girl - they just hadn’t known that girl was Jezebel Slone.
"So… Jezebel. Favorite color? Did you have a good time at the party? Jordan seemed happy but he didn’t really tell me much. Oh… and who’s this new guy I’ve heard you’ve been dating? Is it serious? " Were they slightly intrusive questions? Sure. But Riker was just trying to protect a close friend. And he knew Jordan wouldn’t do so himself so in his place, Riker Taylor would.
@Littlefeets - cheers to an awkward ride
