Jordan was nervously staring at her reflection in her full-length mirror for what seemed like the millionth time, wondering if she looked okay. She had finally settled on a sheer black tank top, most of her skin visible through the pattern and a pair of low waist jeans, she wanted to look sexy, but not like she was trying to look sexy. She had left her hair down and curly, just the way he liked it. She nearly melted every time he reached out and absentmindedly curled a finger through her hair. What if he did that tonight? She thought to herself, how would she react? Would she be able to resist? Unlikely.
The knock at the door shook her out of her obsessive thoughts. She immediately felt herself tense up; realizing he was there, the butterfly automatically took flight in her stomach. She quickly made her way to the door, taking a deep breath, she swung it open. His fist was raised at the door; he had just been getting ready to knock again when she had suddenly opened the door.
"Hey" she greeted him casually, as she turned and walked away from the door, showing him little attention, to keep things from being awkward right off the bat.
"Hey yourself" he said as he came inside and kicked the door shut behind him, making his way to the kitchen with the groceries.
He started unloading the groceries, getting things ready to make dinner. She brought him a glass of wine, which he gratefully accepted. He let his eyes wander all over her body, taking in every inch of her appearance.
"What?" she asked shyly, feeling herself blush with his steady gaze on her body?
"You look good," he said, his eyes finally meeting hers.
She smiled nervously and met his gaze briefly before turning her eyes away. "As opposed to how I normally look?" she teased.
"No, I mean, you uh..." he stuttered, trying to explain.
"Relax Woody, I was just messing with you" she smiled playfully.
"Yeah, no, I knew that" he smiled.
"So you know I'm a cut to the chase kind of girl, so rather than tip toe around all night, let's just get to it"
He just stared at her, caught completely off guard.
"Jordan, you're kinda screwing up my whole seduction scene I'm working here," he teased, trying to lighten the mood.
"Sorry, but I figure, the sooner we get this over with, the sooner things can be normal between us" she explained.
"You think it's gonna be that easy?" he asked.
"Why shouldn't it be? She asked tensing up as he walked towards her. She backed as far away as she could but found that she had been backed right into the kitchen counter and had no escape route.
He put an arm on either side of her waist against the counter, trapping her between his body and the counter.
"I don't want things to go back to normal between us, in fact, I want things to be completely different" he said brushing his cheek against hers as he spoke into her ear, making her whole body tingle.
"Different how?" she managed to squeak out.
He pulled back to look at her, their eyes met and he slowly moved in for a kiss, she made no attempt to stop him as their lips met in a soft kiss.
"Like that" he answered brushing his hand across her cheek.
