"You're so beautiful, Jordan. I've been waiting so looong to do this." He groaned when he spoke, and hot blood rushed through my veins at the sound of his voice. I held onto him lightly as we kissed again.
Three minutes ago, I was on track, getting ready to leave, and now Rachel and Tristan had come and everything had changed. I couldn't be mad at them, though, because they had pushed us in here—into each other's arms. He kissed me several more times before he pulled back, holding me at arm's length.
I was still reeling from that kiss. JD was greedy and impatient, and I leaned into him and let out an uncontrollable whimper at the thought of how we had just connected.
"Are you okay?" he whispered.
I nodded. "I didn't think she was going to invite herself." I obviously didn't want Rachel to hear that, so I got even closer to his ear and whispered.
"I don't really care if they come," he said. "We'll tell them to get their own ride home, and I'm not paying attention to them right now, anyway."
"Who are you paying attention to?" I whispered. My mouth was so close to his ear that I let it brush against him on purpose. I ran the curves of my upper lip smoothly against his earlobe.
"I'm only paying attention to you," he said. He held me close with a firm grip on my back. He took a deep breath before he spoke again, and I had no idea what he was going to say. "I'm going to let you get dressed," he said in a slightly louder tone than before.
"We'll lose them later," I promised, whispering again.
JD nodded. "I’m not worried about it. They'll want to stay downstairs, I'm sure. That place is packed on a Saturday night."
"Can you even get this many people in with you?" I asked.
He grinned and squeezed me. "Yes, Jordan, I can get this many people in."
We kissed again, and he walked out to wait for me.
I moved like the wind. I spent the next five minutes drying my hair and putting just the bare essentials of makeup on my face. I wasn’t the type who felt like I had to be dressed to the nines everywhere I went, and JD knew that about me. I wore jeans with a sweater and a light jacket. It was a nice outfit, but probably casual for a night out at the Berk. I put on a pair of red Converse. I chose them because I wore them to work sometimes and I knew JD liked them.
Rachel and Tristan rode with us over there and we made conversation about Tristan's job in California and his life over there. Rachel was excited about going to the club, and she had talked it up to her brother saying it was Seattle's hottest spot and things like that. Her enthusiasm seemed to spread to her brother, because they were both in a great mood, talking and laughing and saying things to impress JD. It might have seemed, to JD, that Tristan was trying to impress me, but I could tell it was more about JD and his connections.
There was a back way into the downstairs at the Berk, and JD had to take us through several locked doors to get there. I felt famous and so did Rachel and Tristan because they were pumped.
"We're about to get wild," Tristan said, clapping his hands together as we walked from the elevator to the entrance to the club.
"I'm just letting you two in," JD said. "You can get as wild as you want."
"Are you not coming in with us?" Tristan asked, sounding shocked.
"Jordan doesn’t like to go out," Rachel said, trying to make me seem boring.
I didn't care. I shrugged and was about to say that she was right, but JD spoke before I could.
"We're here for the view tonight," JD said. "I'm taking her upstairs for a minute, and then I'm sure we'll probably head out. Jordan's been on her feet all day." I glanced at him, feeling thankful that he would take up for me and that he would be so thoughtful. "That's why I was making sure you guys were okay walking back or taking an Uber," JD continued. "I knew Jordan and I would pass on this place."
We stopped in the hallway, and JD paused with his key card near the door handle. "It's going to be really loud when I open this door," he warned.
"Okay, well, I guess this is goodbye," Rachel said, looking disappointed even though we had made her no promises.
"You two have fun," I said. I waved at her and smiled before focusing on her brother. "It was nice meeting you," I said to him.
"You too," he said. "Thanks for getting us into this place."
"Yeah, do we need anything? Any information? Do we need to know what apartment you're in?"
"No," JD said, shaking his head. "Once you're through this door, they're not going to mess with you. This door will be locked if you try to come back through, but there are other exits and you don't need to get in here, anyway. You can just go out through the public exit whenever you're done."
"Thank you," she said, looking excited. "It was nice meeting you."
