Jordan broke away from him and turned to go, leaving him standing there alone. "Well I guess I better head home" she said and walked over to the door to exit the bar.
He felt as if someone had kicked him right in the stomach, everything he had ever wanted, everything he had waited so patiently for had suddenly fallen into his lap and just as quickly it seemed, it was about to walk right out the door. He wasn't going to let that happen, not again, he had held his tongue in LA, when she said they shouldn't be together but he wasn't about to reconstruct the in famous wall.
He started towards her "Jordan" he said seriously and grabbed her elbow.
She turned towards him, seeing the panic in his eyes, and smiled at him "You coming?" she asked. He smiled back at her happily and pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. She moaned against his lips as she struggled with the door. "Easy Hoyt, you're coming home with me," she teased. He pulled back and she got the door locked behind them and they headed home together.
When Jordan unlocked the door to her apartment, she found that once again she and Woody were connected at the mouth, he walked her backwards into her apartment and kicked the door shut behind them as they kissed their way to the couch.
Jordan pushed Woody down on the couch and quickly found her way on top of him, she kissed him hungrily, deeply, she started unbuttoning his shirt and when she had it pushed back off his shoulders, she sat up and pulled her own shirt over her head. Woody smiled and pulled her back down into his arms and kissed her. She reached for his belt but he pushed her hand away. "Slow" he said simply.
Typical Woody, she thought, always the gentleman. She reached for his belt again and again he caught her hand "Jordan, I want to do this right," he explained.
She laughed out loud at his comment. "Woody, I don't think we're doing it wrong!" she said.
"You know what I mean, we've waited this long and I want tonight to be perfect," he said running his fingers through her hair, playing with the curls.
"It will be," she said softly.
He sat up "Wait here" he said and headed off to her bedroom without her.
"Don't you need me for this part?" she teased.
He didn't answer, when he opened the glass doors to the bedroom, she could see candles surrounding the bed, the whole room glowing in soft light. She smiled happily. He came and picked her up in his arms as they kissed their way to the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and they proceeded to slowly explore each other's bodies, there was no shyness or awkwardness between them now. They made love all night, lost in each other. Later that night, Jordan was lying in his arms, her arms spread across his bare chest, his fingers lazily stroking her bare back, they fell asleep that way, cuddled together.
Jordan woke up sometime later, and reached out for him but only found the empty bed beside her. It took her a minute to realize that it wasn't a dream but where was Woody? What if he had panicked this time and run away from her? She sat up quickly.
"Hey" Woody said and moved back to the sit on the bed beside her "You okay? Did you have a bad dream?"
She just shook her head No, "Where were you?" she asked and scrunched her legs up towards her chest and wrapped her arms around them defensively.
"I've been right here the whole time, I was just watching you sleep," he admitted.
She smiled a little "I thought maybe you left" she said looking down.
"Nope, nothing could have drug me away from you tonight"
She smiled contently and reached her arms out for him "Come back to bed"
He crawled back into bed with her and immediately took his place in her arms; it felt like the most natural place in the world for him to be.
"I love you Woody, don't ever go away ok?" she said.
"I wont," he said holding her tighter.
"Promise me Woody, you've got to promise me," she said.
"I promise Jordan, I wont ever leave, I love you more than anything in the world, and I'm not going anywhere"
"Best friends" she smiled as she drifted off to sleep on his shoulder.
"Best friends in love" he corrected.
