So Jordan, Woody, Nigel, Bug and Peter all joined Lily and Garrett back at
his house. Lily and Garrett were especially kissy and touchy in front of
everyone which was very surprising since they weren't that way at all the
last time they were together.
"Ugh! You guys aren't going to be like this all the time are you? I don't think I could handle this at work" Jordan complained.
"Yeah, me either" Bug mumbled under his breath.
Woody put his arm around Jordan affectionately. "I think it's sweet"
She looked at him "I hope you don't think I'm going to be like that" she said sarcastically.
"Oh, I bet you will be" he smiled back at her. She couldn't help but smile back tenderly.
They went back to his apartment and started kissing. After a few wonderful minutes her pager went off and she left reluctantly, not before stealing a few more kisses on the way out.
The next few days were hectic; they were both busy with work so they didn't get to spend a lot of time together. They planned a night to "hang out" when they were both off. They had dinner at his apartment then started watching a movie, but Jordan's short attention span kept her from being interested in the movie. She decided to climb onto his lap and kiss him. He put his arms around her and kissed her deeply as he laid her back on the couch, under him. He started kissing her neck, she sighed at the feeling of his warm breath on her skin. She pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor as he started pulling hers off as well. She ran her hands over his strong, bare chest and kissed his neck as he pulled her up as they kissed their way to the bedroom. He laid her gently down on the bed and climbed on top of her, she was undoing his belt when his pager interrupted.
"Oh come on!" Jordan whined. Woody just let out an exasperated sigh.
"Maybe this is a sign that this isn't supposed to happen Woody"
"No, no, no this is definitely supposed to happen" he said kissing her again, they briefly forgot about his pager, getting lost in the moment until the urgent, incessant beeping shook them out of it. He sighed heavily. "I gotta go," he said kissing her cheek. She got up and started gathering her stuff.
"You know you could stay here," he said watching her.
"Why would I do that? You're not going to be here? You just trying to make sure you get some lovin' tonight?"
"No, I wont be back for a while, but I thought it might be nice if we could just sleep together. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up together? In each other's arms"
She stared at him nervously. "Um.yeah, Sure I guess that sounds nice, but you're going to be out late on this call and I'm sure I'll have to be at work early to work on your Vic, so maybe another night huh?"
"Yeah, sure another night" he said sensing her reluctance and not wanting to push her and scare her off.
The next few days they just saw each other at work, he wanted to give her space. Then she showed up at his apartment after a particularly trying day for both of them. He smiled as he opened the door, pleased that she had made the effort to come see him.
They finally got to make love and it was great, he cuddled her in his arms until she pulled away and go tout of bed. He sat up and watched her. "What are you doing?" he asked confused.
"I'm going home Woody, it's late"
"Jordan, it's the middle of the night." he protested.
"Yeah, which means that I should already be at home in bed"
He bit his lip in frustration, not wanting to start an argument, Jordan only responded to anger with anger.
He walked her to the door. "Will you call me when you get home to let me know you got there alright?"
"Yeah" she smiled at his caring and kissed him lightly on the mouth.
The same thing happened every time they made love. He was getting increasingly frustrated at her aversion to stay with him, to let him in emotionally but he still didn't want to confront her with it, fearing her reaction might be to run away from him.
Jordan and Nigel were having a drink at the Pogue; Woody had also decided to drop in for a drink.
"Join us Woody" Nigel invited upon seeing him.
He sat down and leaned over to kiss Jordan but she turned away looking at Nigel, but Nigel didn't see anything because his attention was focused on the hottie cop at the bar. Woody stared at her annoyed. He was quiet for the rest of the night.
"What's wrong?" Jordan finally asked after Nigel went to talk to the hottie he'd been scooping out all night.
"Nothing is wrong with ME Jordan" he said harshly.
"Ok, obviously you're pissed off about something and it seems to be directed at me, so are you going to tell me what it is or just be pissed off all night?"
" Let's see, why would I be mad at you Jordan? Just because I thought we were finally making progress only to realize that nothing has really changed"
"What do you mean nothing has changed? We are sleeping together Hoyt"
"Yeah, which means I have your body, but nothing else, I don't have you Jordan and that's what I want"
"You knew what you were getting into with me, you say you want me, but I cant be the perfect little girlfriend for you"
"I'm not asking you to change who you are, I want to be with you, that's the Jordan I love, but why cant you tell your friends about us? Why can't you stay the night with me?"
"I have intimacy issues, I'm trying Woody!"
"No You're not trying Jordan, that's just it. If you were trying then you're friends would know about us and we might actually make love at your apartment so you wouldn't have to run out in the middle of the night. I could stay with you, does that really sound that bad?"
"Well no, in theory it doesn't sound bad, but relationships aren't like that, they're complicated, they're messy"
"You know what I think? I think you make it that way so that you can always have an excuse to get out," he said angrily. He threw some money on the table and walked out.
Jordan just stood there, furious at him. How dare he yell at her like that? He thinks he knows me so well, he doesn't know anything! She argued with herself in her head
"Ugh! You guys aren't going to be like this all the time are you? I don't think I could handle this at work" Jordan complained.
"Yeah, me either" Bug mumbled under his breath.
Woody put his arm around Jordan affectionately. "I think it's sweet"
