A/N: I hope everyone is enjoying this. I'm a J/W shipper but when I'm sleeping my muse likes to toy with Nigel. I think she likes to remind me of my own heartache. I think we are getting ready to have a smackdown, lol. p.s. If I got the title wrong to the song that's mentioned here,please correct me. Thanks

Chapter 6: Confessions part 2

Dinner had gone well.Everyone was impressed that Jordan really wasn't that bad of a cook. The women cleaned the table off and turned on the dishwasher. It had been an early birthday gift from Woody who thought that no woman should be without one.Jordan couldn't help but think to herself if he wasn't trying to slowly warm her up to the idea of being a little housewife. 'Ya, she thought, like that will ever happen.'

When they returned to the living room Nigel talked everyone into a little game of truth or dare. Booze included. Which had actually been the plan all along. There was a theory that intoxication bore the truth and tonight there would be enough revealed for a small novel. With drinks in everyones hands Nigel called,"Let the game begin! Jordan,you go first,luv."

"Okay...Woody...truth or dare?" Jordan loved to make Hoyt squirm in the hotseat.

"Truth,of course." Woody never really liked this game and hoped that she would be gentle on him.

"We all know that you are a huge Kinks fan.Just how far would you go to get tickets to this months concert?"

Having forgotten that the band was coming due to Jordan's return home,"Why?Do you have some?"

Laughing at his boyish enthusiasm ,"Maybe...just answer the question."

"Well," not having to ponder too long,"I guess I'd run butt naked down the street and into the precinct screaming, 'The Kinks are coming!The Kinks are coming!"

All busted into laughter at the thought of this. Except Jordan. She had remembered what it was like to be up against that naked body of his and how much she was looking forward to being able to take her time the next opportunity she got with it.

"Lily,truth or dare?"

Surprised she responded,"Truth?Ya,I guess I'll take that."

Woody just couldn't resist ,"How was sex with Brandeau?"

Almost spitting her wine across the room,"Uh,is it too late to take dare?I mean...I don't wanna...that's too personal."

Nigel coming to her rescue ,"What do you say Woodrow,should we let the poor girl off the hook this time?"

Giggling,"Ya,I think we can settle for a dare at this point.Sorry,Lily,I think we were just curious about Jeffreys 'little' problem."

Bug tried his best to turn a deaf ear to this conversation. He really didn't want to imagine the woman he wanted to spend his life with having 'relations' with anyone else,especially Brandeau. He had heard the rumors of his erectile dysfunction and didn't care to have it elaborated. That and he didn't want the added pressure,he was in fact still a virgin,something that lately had bothered him.

Lily gave in anyways,relieved to finally be able to share with someone,"Alright,forget it...what you heard was true.There were 'problems' with the plumbing and no,there wasn't much sex. What was there was..." not expecting to laugh so hard,"...I'm sorry. It was just terrible."

Jordan couldn't hold it in either. She hadn't realized what she had missed but seeing the expression on Lily's face as she told this was priceless. "I really didn't need a visual Lil'."Still laughing ,"Sorry,Jo. Don't blame me,blame Woody. He's the sicko that asked the question."

Jordan turned to him with a puzzled look as if to say,'Ya,he did.'

"Hey,don't look at me that way. I wasn't the only one that had ever thought that and besides, I didn't ask for a play by play."

Bug finally spoke up ,"Ya,neither did I."

Seeing that he was still a little jealous over Jeffrey,Lily leaned over and kissed him on the cheek,"I'm sorry Bug. It is just a game ya know,am I forgiven?"
Never being able to stay mad at her for long and especially not for something so simple he simply blushed and nodded his head.

Looking directly at Nigel she asked,"Okay,truth or dare,mate?"

Taking a shot from the whiskey that Bug had brought he quickly replied,"Truth,luv."

"Who is this mysterious girl that's got your head in la-la land?"

This turned out to be an uncomfortable moment for the Brit. He could tell the truth and see if it helped his cause or he could simply fake it and get away with it for now knowing that at least Jordan knew the truth. He decided in Woody's presence it was best to fake it...for now.

"Well,uh...her name's Marie...she's a beautiful,intelligent,charming woman who's career orientated and has a huge,and I do mean huge, go-get-'em attitude. Hopefully you guys will get to meet her soon."

Everyone nodded in amazement that Nigel even spoke of this woman. Usually he didn't care to divulge such information. Unfortunately it was because he figured most of the time it wouldn't work out anyways. He was a crazy chic magnet,literally.

Lily replied,"Wow,Nige,congrats I think. You know we all hope it works out and that we can't wait to meet her."

All agreed but there was something that Woody saw as Nigel described this woman all the while looking at Jordan as he did so. He knew that look because it was the same one he himself had for her. He saw Jordan was a bit fidgety as well. Quietly he leaned over and asked,"Marie,huh? Sounds like someone we know."

Jordan knew that Woody's instincts were never wrong. Maybe a little slow at times which is what she had been hoping for now but no such luck. "Hey,it's a small world,farmboy...Marie is my middle name,ya know,right next to 'Trouble'."

Feeling silly that he possibly jumped the gun he gave her a grin and a wink. She accepted by squeezing his hand. Thinking to herself,'Maybe trouble is my middle name. It just seems to find me.'

Nigel knew this was going to be a short game so he quickly asked Jordan,"Truth or dare?"

"I say...what the hell,dare."

"Well now,hmmm...let me think. Alright, how about you give ol' Buggles here one of those famous Cavanaugh lap dances?"

Lily giggled and Bug panicked. "What did you say?"

Jordan stood and went to the other end of the couch. "A little mood music if ya please, Nige."

"Yes, ma'am." Nigel turned on the radio and the song that just happened to be playing was 'My Humps' by The Blackeyed Peas.

Rolling her eyes and smiling,"Great! Oh well,you ready for this?"

Bug didn't answer he just sat there trying not to show everyone that deep down inside he was really freaking out.

Jordan ran her hands through her hair,bent down,turned around,licked her lips,and shook her booty for several minutes. She was rather enjoying this and Nigel and Woody were too. Both were clapping her on and jokingly putting dollar bills into the waistband of her jeans. Bug had a smug grin on his face and wasn't paying much attention to anyone other than Jordan cutting loose.

Lily was okay with it at first. Then seeing the look on Bug's face,"Okay Jordan,I think that's enough." She hadn't heard her friend over the music. "Jordan!"

This time she heard her and not thinking that Lily might be getting a little jealous she simply replied,"Come on Lily,live a little."

It was in that moment that the ugly green monster showed it's little head. "Fine! How do you like this?" She proceeded to walk over to Woody and plant a kiss smack on the lips. Not one shared between friends either.

Jordan quickly stopped what she was doing and Nigel turned the music off. All three were standing there with their jaws to the floor. Lily pulled away and suddenly realized how much she had overreacted."Oh Woody,I'm so sorry."

Before she could finish,"It's okay, Lily.Totally understandable,but..." he pointed to the rest of the gang who were watching.

"Jordan,Bug,I...I don't know what came over me.I'm sorry.I've ruined this whole night." She tried fighting back the tears.

Jordan simply laughed."It's okay Lily. It happens to the best of us." Seizing the opportunity,"Hey, Bug...truth or dare?"

Lily was dumbfounded that she had blown off what had just happened. Bug knew exactly what she was up to. Bravely,"Dare."

"I dare you to tell Lily the truth as to why we are all here tonight."Lily was starting to feel scared. "Wha..what's going on?"

Getting down on one knee Bug told Lily how much and how long he had loved her. He was willing to do anything to have her as his wife and she was more than happy to except. The plan had come together nicely and it seemed as if things were finally falling into place. Everyone celebrated and Bug had told Lily to never go kissing Hoyt again. A couple of hours passed and then Nigel,Bug and Lily decided it was time to head home.

"Thanks Jordan for helping me work all of this out."

"Not a problem,Buggles. Just a little payback for what you've done for me. Besides, you and Lily are perfect for each other and it's about time you two figured it out."

The newly engaged couple hugged the host and thanked her a million times before heading out,followed by Nigel.

"I just love it when a plan has a happy ending. We do work good together don't we?"

"Yes,Nige'. We do."

"Well,I guess I'll be going,too. If you need anything just call me,okay?"

With a kiss on the cheek,"You know I will. Be careful on that bike,you scare me sometimes."

Jokingly, "Yes...'Marie', my luv,I'll be careful and I'll go straight home." Nigel winked and flashed his handsome smile.

Jordan blushed,"Your secret is safe with me. Now get outta here."

She shut the door and leaned against it with her eyes closed. Forgetting for a moment that Woody was still there. "Thank God that's over."


Woody just smiled and said,"Actually,the night's just beginning..."
