Several hours and many choruses later they finally arrived at Cape Cod.
Woody whistled in amazement at the sight of her grandmother's expansive
house.
"Really Jordan, you've had a rough life haven't you?" he remarked sarcastically.
She stared at him expressionless, he realized what he had said. He saw her bite her lip in an attempt to control her inner fury.
"Jordan, I didn't mean." he started to apologize but she just brushed it off with a wave of her hand.
"Come on. Let's get our stuff inside so we can look around," she said abruptly changing the subject. She grabbed her bag and walked ahead of him towards the house. He lingered back a minute. He grabbed his bag out of the back then banged his head against the door repeatedly cursing himself for what he had said. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" he sighed and headed toward the house. Jordan showed him to his room.
"How about we get unpacked then we'll go get some dinner," she suggested.
"Okay" he smiled weakly, unable to forget his words to her. She didn't react badly but he knew it must have hurt her, and she wouldn't let him apologize.
A few minutes later Jordan returned and shocked him out of his daze. "Hey, you all ready?" she asked flopping down on his bed. He grinned and joined her on the bed, pinning her beneath him.
"Am I ready for what Jordan?" he whispered in her ear. His warm breath on her skin made her tingle.
She laughed playfully then placed her cheek right alongside his and whispered back "To eat, I'm starving"
He stared into her eyes and brushed his hand through her hair. She watched him, thinking he was going to kiss her, but he just smiled sweetly and rolled off of her then reached his hand out to help her up.
"Okay let's go, I'm starving too"
They went and had a nice dinner at a little pub they found that looked like her Dad's place. Then they walked along the beach barefoot, allowing the cool ocean water to splash up around their feet. All of a sudden Woody stopped and looked out over the water. Jordan watched him curiously. He pulled his shirt off and threw it playfully at Jordan then headed for the water.
"Woody! What are you doing? The water's going to be freezing!" she yelled after him.
He looked back at her "It get warmer after you get out a ways" he assured her.
She couldn't hold back a smile as she watched him shiver. "It's New England, the water's cold even in the middle of the summer," she said laughing.
"So come warm me up," he said through his chattering teeth.
"No way, just get out of the water"
"Come on Jordan, don't make me come get you"
"You're not getting me in that water"
"Sounds like a challenge" he said starting back in.
"No Woody, I am not even close to kidding" she said backing away.
He started walking faster towards her so she ran up the beach but she wasn't quick enough. He caught up with her and scooped her up in his arms; pressing her body close against his cold, wet body.
"No don't!" she tried to protest but it didn't phase him, he was already back in the water. He carried her out to waist level then dropped her down into the cold water. She screamed then jumped back onto him, tackling him backwards into the water.
"Come here" he said pulling her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his waist. He felt her shiver. "Didn't you say there is a hot tub at the house?"
"Yeah that's right, what the hell are we doing out here?" He shrugged and they made their way back to the beach and the house.
Woody pulled his shirt back on and hugged her close; they were both freezing from the water and the cold wind that was now blowing on them.
"Let's make a run for it, I'll give you a piggy-back ride" he offered kneeling in front of her.
She jumped excitedly onto his back and held on tight then kneed him in the side "Giddy-up!"
He took off running down the beach, making sure to bounce her around uncomfortably as they went.
"Really Jordan, you've had a rough life haven't you?" he remarked sarcastically.
She stared at him expressionless, he realized what he had said. He saw her bite her lip in an attempt to control her inner fury.
