Thank you to those of you who have given this story good reviews. This is my first time ever posting a story so I was really nervous about it. I am glad you are all enjoying it.
Chapter 3Woody pulled Jordan into his arms again. She was tucked away under his chin with her head rested against his chest. They stood that way for a moment until Jordan pulled back to look at him.
"I can't believe I actually went through with this. You have no idea how worried I was, how worried I still am."
He gave her a concerned look, "Worried about what?"
"About what I told you the other night. Like I said, I disappoint, I let down, I get too close and then I just run away. I'm tired of waiting Woody, and I'm tired of running. But old habits die hard, you know."
"I told you Jordan, you just need someone to hold you a little tighter. And I am totally willing to do that. I won't let you go anywhere. I love you too much to let you get away."
As Jordan listened to what he said, she felt something that she had never felt before in her life. True love. From that point on she knew that there was no way that she could go anywhere. "So what do you want to do now?"
"Well, before you came and woke me up, I was having a nice dream but I don't think I want to go back to that now."
"Oh yeah, why is that?"
"Because the woman in my dream in standing right in front of me." He reached up to tuck one of her curls behind her ear, his hand lightly brushing her cheek in the process.
"And what was this dream about?" She smiled at the thought of him dreaming about her again.
"It was about what might have happened if your cell phone hadn't rung when we were on the roof the other night."
"Well, I am sorry that had to happen. So what do you say I make it up to you? I'll go change into my pajamas and when I get back we'll see if we can make that dream come true. What do you say?"
He smiled, "That sounds perfect."
She gave him one more kiss before grabbing her suitcase and heading into the bathroom.
Woody sat down on the edge of the bed to completely process what had just happened. He and Jordan had just confessed their love for each other. It had actually happened. He had lost track of how long he had been waiting for this day.
Jordan smiled to herself as she dug through her suitcase. She has really done it, and thankfully it wasn't too late. He still wanted her and they were given the chance to be together. She thought back on how it all happened. Who knew that a karaoke bar could bring two people together?
She walked out of the bathroom in a tank top and pajama pants with her cell phone in hand. She pressed the power button to shut it off before asking, "Now where were we?"
He stood up next to her just like he had the other night. He moved in so that his lips were just inches from hers before repeating what he had said that night, "Maybe you just need someone to hold you a little tighter."
Then he moved in to close the gap between their lips. This time there were no cell phones to interrupt. It was just them. They explored each other's mouths as they thought about what really could've happened that night.
Woody finally broke away to ask, "Come to bed with me Jordan?"
"But…"
"Not like that. I just want to talk to you, hold you, kiss you…how does that sound?"
"Good. Really good."
He smiled at her as he pulled back the blankets to allow her to slide underneath. She lay down on her back as he crawled in next to her. Once he was completely situated he slid his hand beneath her head and her pillow and brought his lips down to capture hers once more. Woody had nearly kissed her senseless before he pulled away for oxygen.
"I could really get used to that!" Jordan smiled and ran her fingers through his hair.
He grinned, "Good, because we are going to be doing a lot of it!"
He laid down on his back and she curled up against his side, dropping a kiss on his bare chest. She laid there for a minute before she sat up to look at him.
"I've got to ask you something. It's has been bugging me since you left LA."
"Shoot."
"Why did you pick that song? Tired of Waiting For You. I know that it's because it's a Kinks song, but why that one? There were plenty of their songs for you to choose from. Why that one?"
"I didn't choose it."
"What?"
"I didn't choose it. I just told them that I wanted a Kinks song. I didn't give them that specific song. Why do you ask?"
"That's what made me come out here. It was that song that really made me think about how I felt. I thought that you chose that song to make me think about us."
"Well I'm glad that it did. Although, I was planning on making my move when I got back to Boston. But I'm glad that it turned out this way."
"Me too Farm Boy, me too."
She planted a firm kiss on his lips before settling back down on his shoulder. They didn't have to wait on each other anymore. They only had to wait on what their future together would hold.
