The alarm clock tore her from her slumber in a rude manner. Sitting up in bed
she tried to find herself amdist the covers. Although she was thankful it coming two hours later than normal. Yes, sad but
true eight
am was sleeping in for Jordan.
Strechting
across the bed she clicked the small button to the left to stop the incesant beeping. The sleepy muscles cried for her movement
to stop. Curling onto her side she opened her eyes taking in her purple bedroom in all it's mod glory. The clear celing fan
with it's neon middle spun in the center of the room.
Thinking of all the reasons she should get out of bed raced
in her mind. Only, the first friday off in what seemed liked months begged for some leway. The blue phone rang on her night
stand. Rolling over she answered in a sleepy voice.
"Hello." "Hey baby, did I wake you up?" A low voice rummbled
though the reciever. "Not at all, I was laying here trying to will myself out of bed." "Any luck with that?" "Not
really" she laughed a bit.
"Well I was just wondering if we are still on for tonight?" "Yeah Kera and Steve
are bringing some movies and I was going to feed ya'll... something." Her voice trailed off wondering how she could do that
with baren cabinets. Mentally adding a trip to the market to her list.
"Are you still there?" Lance asked his suddenly
silent girlfriend. "Yeah, I'm still trying to wake up. By the way..." "By the way?" "Good morining baby." "You
too Kitty" She smiled into the phone hearing her nickname so early in the day.
"What are you doing now?" He asked,
seemingly in the same postion she was in. Across his bed in only p.j. pants. He had one hand on his shirtless abdomen. The
musles in his arm flexed as he held the phone to his ear with his other hand laying on his back.
"Getting ready
to jump in the shower. I have a ton of shit to do today." "Really? Like what?" He teased knowing her fridays were never
dull.
"Hey that was a good one, have anymore?" She picked at his poor joke-teller skills. "Ok, These three guys..." "Bird!" "Huh?" "I
was kidding." She laughed standing up making her way over to her closet. Propping up the phone on her shoulder she rummaged
through a few garments. Pulling a black tee and jeans she walked back over to the bed.
"So what are you doing today?"
she asked him looking around the room.
"I told Jace, I'd meet him and Dallas at the studio." He answered proud that
he was choosen to enter the almighty lair. Where JC had been hiding out like the uni-bomber for the last few months. "Can
you find your way through Lakewood?" "They call it Langsford now..." "Yeah
they call Stewart, Metropolitian now. It doesn't change the neighborhood."
"Please don't worry about me. I can handle
Atlanta." "Says the whitest boy in town." "Don't you have something to do
right now?" He cut the conversation short so not to get annoyed. Her constant worrying was sweet, but her being three years
his junior it did seem inaproprate at times. He knew she grew up in metro Atlanta,
but he was a grown man.
"Ok, well call me at lunch just so I know you made it safely." "Yes mother." He micked a
child's voice. "Boy I'll beat ya like a Mama never did" she joked.
"Bird loves Kitty." "Kitty loves Bird." They
said their goodbyes and hung up.
Chapter Two
When she wrapped the towel around her drenched skin the phone rang again. Making
it to the device by the third ring she said hello.
"Joe, I need a favor." "Yeah, what's up Moe?" Jordan
recognized her sister's voice quickly. "I have to work a double shift at the hosiptal. Can you pick up Victoria?"
"Where?
When?" "Dance class at 5:00..." "Sure I'm on it." "Your a life saver. I
can pick her up at 6:30."
"What flavor?" "What?" "What flavor? "Oh,,"
Morgan giggled. "Cherry!" They both laughed at the other. Jordan
told her sister farewell and she got dressed.
At 9:00 on the dot she was
in the tricked out celica in full make up and system bumping headed down Jonesboro Rd.
The mall parking lot was filling up fast even though none of the stores were offically open. No matter the parking spot it
was a hike to Jimmies.
Being passed by speedwalking senior citizens she cursed herself for skipping on her trip to
the gym that week. Waving to merchants polishing up entrances she made it to her place of employment.
Jimmies was
a trendy clothing store carrying mostly club-wear for men and women. The metalic manicans in the window had been changed
since the new lines had come in. The mirrored celings served double puropose as with any retail store. The gate was only half
up when she limboed under it.
Jax was at the counter counting out her till. Her gothic persona was set off by the
ever growing silver appendadge collection she seemed to collect on her face. The labre, both eyebrows, nose; including a bullring,
and interestingly her cheeks were not a safe haven either.
"Greetings" Jax seemed to stop only enough to glance in
her direction. "Whatta ya say? Whatta ya know?" Jordan
answered back admiring Buckie's diligent worker-ant mode only a few feet away.
"Morning" he mumbled looking pissed.
Jordan knew why. He could not stand Jax, and here he was ready
to endure an eight hour shift with her.
"Hey dude" she answered. Buckie could name a million rock bands before you
could name three and that was something he never minded letting anyone know. His Slipknot shirt was a friday special. He was
about 6'1 with blonde hair, rocker to the bone. James Hatfield's long lost son.
Putting the till in the drawer, Jax
leaned over the counter to hand Jordan her check along with
the next week's schedule. "Thanks girl..." Jordan accepted
the papers and skimmed the text.
"Sure. Guess what." Jax had a smirk on her face. "What?" "Carrie came back
and bitched Rachel out for the store room being a wreck." "What do you mean the store room is a wreck? I cleaned up the
store room yesterday."
"Well Rach had her boyriend's kids back there last night when Carrie came in." "What the
hell?" "Yeah and Rach told her that you never cleaned up. So she thought it would be ok for the kids to stay here until
she got off work." "Tell me you are joking!"
"Carrie wants to see you. She is going to call you today." "She
can call me, and I'm going to tell her. Rach has been messing up the whole time she was gone." "Tell me about it, Rachel
is the one who made me work with that bastard Buckie!"
"Chill out Jax, be nice to him." "He hates me!" "Yeah
I do!" Buckie yelled from the other side of the store hearing everything they had said. Jax flipped him off when he turned
his back. "I saw that!" "Piss off Plucky." "YOU guys!!" Jordan
tried to make them stop the war of words.
"Tell her Jordan!"
Buckie laughed to shut up Jax up. "Ah, go work at Hot Topic!!" Jax hissed the worse insult that could have been thrown
in the present company. Not taking it Buckie smartly retorted with. "Can you give me a good refrence beings you shop there
with Avril!" Jordan could not help but to bust out laughing
laying on the counter for support. Everyone knew he had won that round.
"Ok, ok..." Jordan
calmed her laughing to answer her cell. "Hello?...Yeah I'm on my way." "It's going to be a long day Jax mumbled as Jordan
said her byes and left the store.
Chapter Three
HONK_HONK_HONK!!!! Jordan
laid on the horn outside of Kera's house. The white two story home stood under a grove of evergreens. The gravel driveway
allowed the celica to whip round with ease.
Practically running down the front steps She came in to view. Her short
blonde hair stylish as usal was set a glow by her powder blue caffeine UFOs and white tee. The vans finished the outfit with
a sporty flavor.
Kera's car was in the shop and Jordan
offered to take her to the bank on her way as well. Falling into the toyota she
closed the door with a smile.
"Word!" Kera joked as Jordan
put the car in gear. "Sup playa?" "Wait till you hear this shit..." She began to tell her about work and her new GM,
as they drove away from the house. "And then he was like "You don't want to be on my bad side." Can you believe the prick?" "Sounds
like some drama to me..." Jordan understood the problem and
made a mental note of the discrepancy.
The drive-up window was out of the question with the line wrapped around
the building. Not to mention they had two different accounts they were dealing with. Jordan
parked as close as she could, but it was friday after all. Making it in the building they discovered that the line resembled
the one outside. People from all walks of life stood single file waiting for there turn to be served.
Killing time
Jordan told her about her own work-related frustrations. "Why
would Rachel have her boyfriend's kids at work?" "I know right..." "Wait, why does she have a boyfriend with kids anyways?
Especailly ones he doesn't have a babysitter for?" "Don't think I have not already went throught this line of questioning."
"We so need new jobs!" "We so need new lives!" They laughed and moved up another step closer to the counter.
"Goodness
this is taking forever, They need to hurry up I'm hungry." Kera whinned at the bank line. "What time is it?" Jordan
pulled up her jacket sleeve to see her watch. "11:46.... Damn the time is flying.
Yeah they need to hurry. We can grab lunch when we leave here." "Sounds good, where we gonna eat?" She asked as they took
another step. "I dunno... Arby's?" "Can we sit by the window?" "Always!" They giggled again and Jordan's
phone began to ring.
"Hello?" "Kitty!" "Aww hey Bird..." "What's up baby?" "Oh Kera and I are at the bank.
Are you at the studio?" "Yep, safe and sound. Dallas says Hi" She could hear
shouting in the background as he finished. "And Josh says it too." "Lots o' love all around" She smiled and was a bit annoyed
to see it was her turn just as she had began talking to Lance. Directing Kera to go first she had another minute to converse.
Lance
while across town sounded very close in her mind. He sat in the roller chair with his cell in hand. The day was productive
and yet laid back at the same time. It never registered as work with JC and Dallas Austin. His Lucky Brand Baseball shirt
went well with his baggy jeans he had elected to wear that day.The Local Motion hat covered his highlighted hair in the "Just
out of bed" persona for the day.
Hearing Jordan's voice seemed to make him smile inside. She was the balance of charm
and grace some how based in reality. He had never met some one who was not completely swept up into the business. A refreshing
breath of oxygen to his brain. He knew he needed continuously. Things were painfully normal around her.
"So are you
going to need me to bring anything tonight?" He asked her finding himself after a mental brainstorm. "Just your sweet self,
that sexy grin and deep voice..." She laughed as the teller called her up to the window. Laying her already filled out deposit
slip along with her signed check she waited for the clerk to catch up with her. "I think I can handle all that." "Lord
willing Bird..." "Bird loves Kitty!" "Kitty loves Bird!" She clicked the phone shut as the girl counted out half of
the pay check. The odd words of the end of the conversation made her smile and a newly joining Kera roll her eyes. Laughing
Jordan challenged them both to resist their own man's loving.
Making it to lunch the girls sat in the only spot they
ever sat in the restaurant. Eating like ladies lasted only a moment for the starving best buds. Jordan skimmed over the to-do
list again, this time writing the trip to the market down. Kera agreed to join her in paying a few bills.
"The phone
& cable, then lights, and we can finish with water." "What about your car and inurance?" "Automatic draft from my
checking..." Jordan explained. "Oh ok then."
"Is there anywhere else you need to go?" "Dude if we could hit
Old Navy, I would truly love you." "You already love me." "Well yeah, Umm..." "It's ok we can go right after the
bills...Ok?" "Okie dokie..."
"So how is Steven? You have bearly mentioned him today." "Oh he is wonderful."
Kera's eyes glazed over. "He is picking me up and we are going for the movies."
"Cool, cool. I will have Vic until
six thirty." She told while checking her watch. "Man, she is growing up so damn fast." "Tell me about it, I swear I
found a gray hair the other day and it's her fault." "HAHA, Don't blame that baby for your grandma hair."
"No, she
told her teacher, "Well if you'd get out from behind your desk and show us how to do this we just might learn something."
Kera covered her mouth and busted out laughing.
"That child is in third grade..." "I know and she thinks she is
30! They sent a note home to Morgan and Keith about her "Opinons".
