"Hey! What does a girl have to do to get a drink around this place?" Jordan heard a familiar voice ask from behind her.
She quickly turned and saw Jamie standing on the other side of the bar. She jumped over the top of the bar and quickly gathered her friend into a tight hug.
"Oh my god, James, what are you doing here? I thought you had to work" Jordan said surprised.
"Yeah I just had to wrap some stuff up but I wanted to come and ask you to be my maid of honor in person" she smiled.
"Of course I will, I love you guys" Jordan said excitedly.
"Good, now check out my rock" Jamie said extending her hand for Jordan to admire her ring.
"Wow, Aidan did good" Jordan admired. "I still can't believe you guys are getting married!"
"I know!" Jamie squealed and the girls started screaming and jumping up and down while hugging each other in a way that was quite uncharacteristic of both of them.
Finally they made their way over to the rest of the group, fresh drinks in hand for everyone.
"There you are" Aidan smiled and hugged Jamie close as they kissed their hello.
"I missed you," he said.
"I missed you too" she responded.
"Oh god, are you serious?" Jordan asked sickened by their display.
"You just wait girl, one day you'll be this way too," Jamie said.
"Nope, I don't think so, not me" Jordan said defiantly.
"Oh I think she's already half way there," Aidan answered.
Jamie glanced around the table at the group then went over to Woody and hugged him "You must be Woody, I've heard so much about you, it's good to finally put a face with a name" Jamie said.
Jordan's cheeks reddened considerably at Jamie's act. "Yeah so that's Woody, and this is Nigel, Garrett, Bug, Lily & Peter" she said introducing everyone else at the table to downplay Jamie's introduction to Woody.
"I think it's time to dance" Jordan insisted as she pulled Jamie away from the group and over to the jukebox. "Ok you two need to chill on the Woody thing," she said.
"I can't promise anything" Jamie smiled devilishly.
She took the quarter from Jordan and dropped it into the jukebox, selecting Girls just want to have fun and grabbed Jordan's hand and pulled her out onto the dance floor. Jordan called for Lily to join them and pretty soon they were all dancing and singing at the top of their lungs to the music while the guys just sat at the table laughing at the sight.
Jordan grabbed Sully, and two of her dad's other old cop buddies from the bar and the girls danced with them.
"Men, we're being shown up," Nigel said as he headed out to the dance floor and asked to cut in and dance with Lily.
"Come on Woody" Aidan encouraged as he got up to dance with Jamie.
Nigel dropped in a quarter and switched the music to a slow song. Jordan rolled her eyes at their plot as she casually wrapped her arms around Woody's shoulders as the song began.
"So, Aidan invited me to the wedding" Woody said.
"Did he? You know it's in L.A. right?" Jordan asked not at all surprised that Aidan would have done that.
"Yeah, I figured I'd be your date" he answered smiling.
"Oh did you now?" Jordan teased.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting on you to ask me" he grinned.
"What if I don't?" Jordan teased.
"Then I'll ask someone else, you're practically guaranteed to get some at a wedding, girls love that kind of thing" he joked.
Jordan's jaw dropped and she stepped back. He quickly pulled her back to him laughing at her reaction; he pulled her even closer than she had been so that they were cheek to cheek. "I'm just kidding Jordan, you're the only one I'd want to go with," he whispered in her ear"
She smiled as his warm breath tickled her skin. "Go with me?" she asked almost shyly.
He pulled back and looked her in the eyes then smiled "I'd love to"
