A/N: Ok so this is post Dreamland, the episode that aired on 1/29/06. I was typing my essay and this came out instead.
It's just my take on what should have happened, no just kidding…I just got this idea and went with it, but I was doing homework ;
Enjoy.
"I don't just want to be a rebound guy."
"Too soon."
She was tossing and turning in her bed. Come on what the hell does he want? We're both single, we've passed the awkward sexual tension…what.does.he.want?
She got out of her bed knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep in the short two hours she had left before she had to go back to work. She sat down in front of the TV, no, no, dumb show; don't know this show, oh naked people. Hm naked people doing weird stuff. Ok I've seen enough. She turned off the TV and moved into the kitchen. Let's see; leftover Chinese, leftover pizza, god story of my life leftover everything it seems.
She slammed the fridge shut, ok who would be up at this hour? Bug? No, he's working. Lily then? God, not in the mood to be analyzed right now. Nigel? He's with Bug…lucky bastard. Garret? No he should be with Abby. Woody…he has to be up. I mean he just dropped me off. Well then Woody it is…I probably should just go over, I have a feeling he won't take my call.
As she drove to his apartment she was rationalizing her behavior, why not? We're friends…yeah why not…
She found herself outside his apartment twenty minutes later. Ok just knock…what's the worst he can do, throw me out?
It took him a while to open the door. With each second that went by she felt less sure of her being there was such a great idea after all. He finally opened the door.
"Jordan…what are you doing here? You should be asleep," he said as he yawned.
"Yeah about that, I couldn't really sleep so here I am tada," she tried to joke her way in.
"Very funny," he didn't seem to be very amused, "for your information I was just getting ready to sleep. I have to get up in a few and I really no really need the rest Jordan."
"Ah come on, you're going to kick me out, again?"
"Jordan…" his face slightly colored, she didn't know if it was from anger or shame but was sorry the second she said it.
"Geez sorry I didn't mean it that way," she said as she brushed passed him into his apartment. "Well you go to bed and I'll watch TV. You need to get that beauty sleep, right so good night," she said with a smirk.
"You're going to sit there and watch TV? You came all the way here to just watch TV and then go to work?" he said in disbelief.
"God you're skills as a detective are really amazing. Well believe it or not, my TV is broke yeah kaput. So I had to come here.
He really thought he was going to have an aneurysm or something. "Jordan, since when do you care about TV so much for heavens sake? Is this about before? Listen if that's what gotten you to act all oh I don't know crazy then we can talk about it…in the morning. So why don't you go ahead and…"
"Finally Woody, we can agree on something, you sleep…me watch TV…night" she gave him and sat down in front of the TV.
He stood there not knowing what to do…he didn't know what to say or think either. The woman has really lost it. Finally his sleep got the better of him, he decided to go to bed knowing that he could handle whatever curveball she would throw at him better if he was somewhat rested.
Woody hit the snooze button at least three times before he decided to roll out off bed. It was only when he was getting dressed that he remembered the night…better yet the few hours before. Jordan. He went into the living room…empty…she wasn't there anymore. Just when he thought he must've dreamt it he saw a note on the counter.
Hey, made you some coffee. Went to work, see you.
PS: don't you think 600 channels are a bit excessive?
He chuckled, only Jordan could cause me to have a nervous breakdown one minute and make me laugh the next,he thought. Oh…this is going to be a long day…yep it's going to be one of those days.
