CHAPTER 6
Woody smiled and left the small karaoke stage. He was still smiling when he saw Jordan coming towards him.
"Hey Jodi." He waved, trying his best to keep a straight face.
"It isn't that funny!" Jordan told him with a smile as she reached where he was standing. "But your singing was."
"Thanks." He stopped laughing, but kept smiling widely. "So, how is the 'girls' week' going so far?"
"Not terribly bad, except for the fact that I'm being called Jodi again, my apartment is a complete disaster zone of make up, clothing and fashion and gossip magazines, but its okay." She sighed with a smile and a roll of her eyes.
"They're not on your nerves yet?" He asked incredulously. From what he'd seen and heard of these girls so far, they were the farthest thing from Jordan. He thought she would have been fed up with them already.
"Not really, but I haven't been with them for more than an hour at a time, and in those two separate hours, yes I was starting to get annoyed, but hey, maybe this week will be good for my patience practice."
"I doubt it. Come on let's get back to the table." He suggested.
"Okay, but you know what I think we should do?" Jordan asked him with a suggestive smile.
"What?" He asked after a hesitant second. Jordan's ideas were usually pretty crazy; he hoped this one wasn't too insane.
"Let's make everyone sing something like you did." Her eyes twinkled with excitement.
"How are you going to make Bug do karaoke?" Woody wondered aloud. She just laughed as they reached their table.
"Nice singing Hoyt." Matt laughed as they sat down beside him.
"Think you could do better Seely?" Woody challenged, seeing it as an opportunity to put Jordan's plan into action.
"I know I could!" Matt told him.
"Then show us." Jordan challenged.
"You mean like go sing a song?" Matt clarified with a look of shock.
"Uh, yeah." Woody nodded.
"Well… only if Lily does." Matt smiled at Lily who was presently talking to Bug and Nigel.
"What?" She asked turning around when she heard her name.
"Matt says he'll do karaoke," Jordan started with a smile.
"Does he?" Lily smiled at Matt.
"Yes," Matt told her, "But only if you do it too."
"Who's doing karaoke?" Sierra more or less yelled overhearing their conversation.
"I want to do karaoke!" Jessica exclaimed leaning over.
"Go for it." Jordan laughed, and Jessica took off towards the stage, dragging Lara with her.
"Lara's going to sing it with me, okay?"
"Whatever." Lara nodded, not minding at all.
"Matt and Lily have to go after Jessica and Lara do, though." Woody announced smiling evilly at the pair.
"Fine." Matt agreed, "As long as Lily does, I will."
"Awe, it's that sweet." Woody said sarcastically.
"I think it's sweet." Nigel told Woody with a smirk in Bug's direction. Bug just smirked back at him sarcastically and continued his conversation with Garrett. Matt and Lily got up and headed over in the direction of the karaoke bar. Sierra made a comment about going to see what Jess and Lara were doing, and darted off in the same direction.
"What's the deal with Bug?" Jordan asked Nigel. Bug looked half sad, half angry and he was going on and on about something to Garrett who was only half listening and nodding every so often.
"He's mad." Nigel told her.
"About what?" Woody asked curiously. Bug was a pretty calm person, and he did look pretty mad about something.
"Lily and Matt." Nigel smirked shaking his head. "I don't know, it's his own fault really."
"Yeah." Jordan agreed.
"What is his own fault? What are you guys talking about?" Woody
demanded, earning smiles from both Nigel and Jordan. "What?"
"You never noticed?" Jordan asked him. Woody shook his head no. "Well, since you detective, have not picked up on the obvious, I will tell you. Bug has had a major crush on Lily for uh, what was it, four years now? And he's mad and upset because Lily and Matt are flirting." Woody smiled. He knew how that felt.
"Oh." Was all he said.
"Yeah but you'd know all about that, wouldn't you Woody?" Nigel laughed. Before they could say any more, the present song had ended and they heard the karaoke announcer's voice once again.
"Okay, now we have Jessica and Lara singing The Cars that go Boom by Le Tigre."
"Oh my gosh." Jordan laughed as she saw her friends appear on the stage. "They are not singing that song."
"Why not, love?" Nigel asked curiously.
"Just watch." Jordan told him with a smirk.
