Jordan sat at her desk, pen in hand and a whole pile of paperwork in front of her but she hadn't gotten a single task finished all day, hadn't even started any. She was shocked when she looked up at the clock and discovered it was already 5 pm, quitting time.
Lily stopped in her doorway "Hey, it's quitting time Jordan, don't you have somewhere to be?" She smiled.
"Yeah, I'm going, just summoning the old courage" she smiled back, still trying to convince herself that this was in fact a good idea.
"Well Id wish you good luck but I know its going to work out the way it should, see you tomorrow" Lily said much too cheerfully for Jordan's taste.
Jordan picked up her cell phone and hit speed dial number 1, Woody.
Woody sighed at his ringing phone, he didn't even have to look at his caller ID to know who was calling, she had her own personal ring tone on his phone, one that he thought was completely fitting of their situation.
It's
been months And for some reason I just can't get over us
and I'm
stronger than this enough is enough, No more walkin round
with my
head down I'm so over being blue cryin over you
"You ready to talk to me?" he answered, not bothering with hello
She was caught off by his sudden answer "Hey, Yeah I do want to talk to you, can you meet me?" she asked quickly, before she lost her nerve.
"When?" he asked.
"How does right now work for you?" she asked, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible.
"Ok, but I don't have much time, Lu is meeting me for dinner in an hour, I'm on my way to P.F. Changs, come there" he said
"Ok, see you soon" she said, quickly hanging up.
Woody got there first and sat at the bar, letting the very confused hostess know that he was expecting two women, at different times. He was silently wondering if they were planning to spit in his food when Jordan showed up.
"Hey" she said, surprising him when she walked up beside him.
"Hey" she said back, pulling out the chair next to him for her to sit.
"No thanks, I can't stay, probably best since your girlfriend is on her way" Jordan said.
Woody visibly cringed when she called Lu his girlfriend and Jordan was very pleased by his reaction.
"Jordan, I thought you wanted to talk, If you came here to fight, I'm not up for it, we did enough of that this morning" he said tiredly.
"Woody, I need to say something to you and I need you to not interrupt me while I'm saying it, because if you do, I may not be able to finish, can you do that?" she asked seriously.
"I'll try" he agreed.
"Okay here's the thing, I'm in love with you Woody, I know I have really crappy timing telling you this now since you're with Lu but in my defense, I did tell you once before, anyways we always seem to have crappy timing but the point is I'm saying it now, I love you and I want to be with you, and I just want you to think about that" Jordan said.
"Wow, Jordan, I..." He started.
"You're interrupting" she admonished.
"Sorry" he said, holding his hands up in surrender, indicating he wouldn't do it again.
"If you can tell me right now that you are absolutely one hundred percent sure that you don't want to be with me then I will walk away and leave you alone, we'll never speak of this again, what do you say?" she asked nervously.
He thought about it silently for a second "Of course I can't say that Jordan" he admitted, looking down.
"Okay, I'll take that, goodnight Woody, enjoy your dinner" she smiled triumphantly and turned quickly to go, leaving woody sitting there confused while she was elated, she was still in it she smiled to herself on her way out the door.
