Chapter 2
We're Going Where?
Woody woke up the next morning as giddy as a schoolboy. He and Jordan were going to go to Disneyland! Of course Jordan didn't know that yet. He was going to get to spend the weekend alone with her. He had been trying to think of a way to get alone with her. He was tired of the flirting game they had been playing for so long. He wanted to be with her. Disneyland was the perfect place to change that.
He called Garret later that morning to get Jordan the time off. Garret had to promise to keep it a secret from her. Then Woody hopped on the Internet and booked plane tickets, hotel rooms, and park tickets. He was so excited! He just hoped that she would feel the same.
When Woody got to the morgue later that day he found Jordan in her office filling out stacks of paperwork. She looked up and smiled at him when he knocked on the door. "Hey Woody, what's up?"
He had a big goofy grin on his face. He tried to contain his excitement as much as he could. "Oh nothing, I just wanted to come by and say hello."
Jordan could tell by the look on his face that he was up to something. "No seriously Woody, what is going on?"
"Okay, okay! We're going on vacation Jordan!"
She was totally confused, "Excuse me?"
"We're are going on vacation!" He was practically jumping up and down with excitement.
"What do you mean we?" She wasn't sure that she was really hearing him correctly.
"We. You and me. Us. We are going on vacation. I already talked to Garret and you have this weekend off. We leave on Friday. Everything is already booked and taken care of!"
Jordan was surprised and still slightly confused, "Where are we going?"
She didn't know that it was possible for his smile to get any bigger but it did. "I am taking you to The Happiest Place on Earth, Jordan. We are going to Disneyland! We leave on Fridayafternoon and come back Monday morning. I've booked us in connecting rooms in the Disneyland Hotel! How cool is this going to be? What do you say?"
"I don't know what to say Woody, except for…okay. Sounds great! Thank you. I don't know how up to date I am going to be on all of the new Disney stuff though."
"Don't worry about it Jordan. I would not let you go to Disneyland without doing your homework. You are coming over to my apartment every night this week so I can get you up to speed on everything. I am going to cook you dinner and we are going to watch Disney movies."
"Okay, Woody you've got a deal!" How could she ever say no to that face. He was too adorable. She wouldn't have been surprised if he started jumping up and down. "I get off at six."
"Ok, great! I will see you then!" He turned around and practically skipped out of her office. She couldn't help but laugh.
Six o'clock couldn't come around fast enough. Every time Jordan looked up at her clock, less than 10 minutes had gone by when in reality it had felt like a lifetime. She was really getting excited about the trip.
Three days in California with Woody, plus every night with him at his apartment, things could not get any better then that. She had finally accepted the fact that she had feelings for Woody. They had gotten so close the last time that they were in California, but she couldn't let him miss that concert. They hadn't talked about it since they had both gotten back. They just continued their flirting games.
After signing her last file, Jordan looked up to see the one thing she had been looking forward to all day. The clock on her desk read 6:00. She smiled to herself as she put the files in the appropriate places and gathered her things. It was going to be a fun week.
She knocked on Woody's apartment door around 6:30. From the amount of noise she could hear from the outside, it sounded like he was skipping to answer it.
He had a huge smile on his face when he opened the door, "Hi!"
"Hey Woody." It took everything she had not to start laughing at him. He was just too cute!
He stepped away from the door to allow her inside, "I got off work a little later then I expected so I had to order pizza instead of cooking. I hope you don't mind."
"That's okay. So what are we watching?"
Woody went over to his shelf of DVDs to read off the titles to her. "Well, if you want we can start at the beginning and work our way through. I have almost everything. Do you want to start with Snow White?"
"Sure that's fine." He put the DVD in and then joined her on the couch
That night they made it through three movies, Snow White, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan. In the middle of Pinocchio, Woody actually worked up the nerve to put his arm around her. She didn't object. She just snuggle closer to him and continued to watch the movie.
They did the same thing for the rest of the week. Jordan would come over to Woody's apartment after work and have dinner. In the whole week they watched Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp, Toy Story, and Toy Story 2. Friday afternoon finally came around.
Their flight left Friday afternoon at 2:00. They had both took the morning off work to get ready to go. Jordan was zipping up her suitcase when she heard a knock at her door. Woody was standing at the other side with a gift bag in his hand and a hugegrin on his face, "What's that for?"
He handed her the bag, "It's just a little present. I was shopping last night to get some stuff for the trip and I found this. Open it!"
Jordan openedthe bagto find a pink T-shirt with the word PRINCESS spelled in glitter witha picture ofallthe Disney princesses. She smiled, "This is so cute! I am going to wear it at the park tomorrow! Thank you!"
"I'm glad you like it! You ready to go?" He asked as he picked up her suitcase.
"Heck yes I am! Disneyland here we come!"
