Tension

After the breakup, I was pretty upset, but I started doing other things to keep my mind off him. I asked for more hours at work and I started hanging out with K more. I didn't see Jordan for a few months, even though he had told me he wanted to stay friends. I finally got my driver's license within a few months of the breakup. One day in December, I was driving my mom's car through town, and who did I see walking down the street but Jordan. It was cold and snowy so I stopped and picked him up. He said he was walking to the gas station to get cigarettes so I drove him there. After that, I asked him where he wanted to go. He said he was thinking about going to his friend's house in town. I then told him that I was bored sitting at home alone, and asked if he wanted to come over. He said that it probably wouldn't be a good idea because there might be some sexual tension between us. I said that that was nonsense, that I just wanted to hang out and that nothing would happen. So we made our way back to my house. We sat down in the living room and started watching tv. He sat on the ottoman for the rocking chair and I sat on the couch next to the rocking chair. Right away, it was a little awkward. That 70's Show was on, and go figure, it was an episode about sex, so that only added to the awkwardness. At one point we were talking and he was giving me shit about something or other. I got up, stood in front of him and pushed him playfully. He almost fell off the ottoman and stood up like he was going to come after me. I darted over by the other couch and he just stood there looking at me. I asked, "What?" and he tackled me onto the couch and kissed me. We made out and groped each other for awhile and eventually I asked him if he wanted to go upstairs. He pulled a condom out of his pocket and smiled. We ran upstairs and had fabulous after-breakup sex until my dad pulled in and we had to hightail it downstairs. I guess there may have been a LITTLE sexual tension...

Crushed

Things with Jordan and I were going pretty well after homecoming. My parents got along with him, even when they found out why he was in jail, because he told them what had happened. (In case I hadn't told you how he came about stabbing a guy, he was jumped by 3 guys and he was alone.) Anyway, things were going well, he came down to see me all the time and he was being really sweet. One day I heard his truck pull into the driveway, along with my favorite Ludacris song blaring, which he always did when he pulled in. I ran outside as he was getting out of his car. "Hi honey!" I said. "Hi, Lynds." he replied. This threw me off right away because he was always calling me honey or baby or sweetie or something. I went to give him a kiss, he kissed me on the cheek and said, "We need to talk." We sat down on the porch steps and talked. He told me about his ex fiance and how she had cheated on him with one of his friends, and how much that had hurt him. He then told me that he was starting to fall in love with me and that he was scared, so he wanted to take a break. He said that we could start things up again after he figured out what he wanted to do. I was crushed, of course, but I took it in stride. It wasn't too horrible, he still stopped by, though not as often. Our break lasted about 3 weeks or so, and then we tentatively started things back up, but it was a little awkward because he was still scared. One night, my friend K and I were driving around town, and I saw Jordan walking down the sidewalk. We pulled over and I went up to him. He seemed a little out of it and I asked him what was wrong. We had another little talk and I don't remember exactly what was said, but I got dumped. He was scared of getting hurt again and all that crap. So I walked back to K's car, where she was waiting for me, and I got in and told her what happened. She took me home where I proceeded to cry quite a bit.

Homecoming Part 2

The next night was the homecoming game and dance. After school, my friend K and I went to my house to decorate her car. When we got to my house, Jordan was already there. We parked behind his car and hung out for awhile. Not too long after that, K's friend E showed up. I knew E from school but I didn't really like her. Not too long after THAT, our friend from across the river showed up. We were all just hanging out all over K's car, when Jordan decided he was going to bodyslam his hunkajunk car. He ran at it and leaped onto the hood, causing a huge dent. He then opened the back door of his car and kicked the dent back in. E and our Iowegian friend were just looking at him weird. K and I were practically rolling on the ground. We proceeded to decorate Jordan's rear windshield with "(rival high school) sucks cock!" Hey, it wasn't my car :)

Later that night we headed up to the game. We watched the game for bits at a time, mostly just wandering around. At one point Jordan and I meandered over to the other side where the other team's fans were sitting. He said hi to some old friends and we wandered some more. At one point we went up to his car to make sure that the windows weren't smashed out of it. We stayed up there for awhile, just hanging out. I remember him being a smartass and humping his car when people walked by, just to see what they'd do. He also attempted to dance with me, but as it turns out, I don't really know how to dance. Slow dancing I can do, with the arms around the neck/waist and you just sway. I can handle that, but that's about the extent of it. Later on, he drove me home and we sat on the porch swing for awhile and talked, like we usually did.

I don't remember a whole lot more from that night, just that it was a lot of fun.

Homecoming

The next big event was homecoming. Oh this was an interesting night. It started out with the homecoming bonfire. Jordan stopped by my house after I got out of school and we were hanging out for awhile, when I realized that the bonfire was that night. I usually wasn't much for the school activities, but I wanted to show off my new boyfriend :) I called K and she said she'd meet us there. Jordan and I made it there first, and we were standing outside his car in the parking lot, he was leaning against the car and we had our arms around each other. We were having a good ole time when B showed up. She stood over on the sidewalk about 50 feet from us and yelled at Jordan to come over there. He told her to leave him alone. We went back to kissing and tickling and whatnot, and she was still there. "Come on, I just want to talk to you." she said. Finally he just went over there and talked to her for awhile. Apparently she needed to be let down easy or some nonsense. Ugh. Anyway, not too long after that, K pulled in with a couple of our other friends and we walked down the hill to the bonfire.

Ok now for a bit of history. Jordan and I used to go to the same school, when we were very young. He was a troublemaker even then. He set a fire in the trash can in the principal's office and got expelled. He then started going to a different school in the area. He eventually got kicked out of there too, but thats a different headache for a different day. The point is, he still had a t-shirt from that high school, and he happened to have worn that shirt to work that day. Guess which high school we were playing for homecoming.

Yea. He had been wearing a sweatshirt over it, until he asked me what school we were playing. I told him and he immediately got a big grin on his face. He pulled up his sweatshirt and showed me the shirt he was wearing. He took the sweatshirt off and I didn't think anyone would really notice, there were alot of people there, and we were in our own little group. I was wrong. Soon enough, the "big bad jocks" in my grade(I was a senior) come waddling over, along with the head cheerleader(who I can't stand). She comes up to me and says, "Um, Lynds? Is this your boyfriend from (rival high school)?" The guys are behind her trying to look all tough. I looked at her and said, "Um, no. He went there a long time ago, this is his work shirt that he happened to be wearing today. He lives around here now, so you can take your goons and run along. By the way, doesn't YOUR boyfriend go to that school?" She didn't have anything more to say, and they left. Even after I set the record straight, it was all over school the next week how I brought my rival boyfriend to the bonfire. Sigh.

Later that night, when the bonfire was dying down, we walked over to the football field and sat down on the bleachers. I sat on his lap and he lit a cigarette. We sat and talked about what he had said to B. She had thought that he liked her and that they were going out or whatever..and apparently she was wrong. This scenario would seem a lot familar to me later on. Anyway, we kissed and groped and fondled for awhile...and eventually found our way back to my bedroom. :D and then we had to make a mad dash trying to throw our clothes back on and get back downstairs when we heard my dad's truck backing into the driveway...

Dra-ma!

The next day, I got to school, and I had choir again right away. I walked in the room and first thing I heard is, "Ho! You're a ho! Lynds is a ho!" Sure enough, it was B. I ignored her and walked over to where I sat, on the other side of the room. We had some time before class started and the teacher wasn't in there, so I kept hearing that nails-on-a-chalkboard voice: "Ho!" Finally I looked at her and spat, "I got the man, bitch!" She pretty much shut up after that, at least to my face. She still talked quite a bit of shit. I didn't really care, I didn't need to be friends with a stupid bitch. We weren't even friends to begin with: she was friends with one of my close friends. Anyway. After the whole choir incident, I went on with my day. She didn't sit with us at lunch..I was heartbroken. Not really. When school was over, my friend K and I walked out to her car, she was giving me a ride home. I got in the passenger side and waited for K, but she was sidetracked by someone. Guess who. Yea. I had my window down so I heard all of this.
B: "You're giving that ho a ride home?"
K: "Why is she a ho?"
She didn't answer that. Instead, she started yelling at me. "Aww, Jordan didn't come pick you up today? How fuckin sad! You fuckin ho!"
She said more, but I didn't hear her as we were driving away. :)

K filled me in on the way to my house. The previous night(when Jordan and I hooked up) had been a Tuesday. Usually on Tuesdays, K would pick me up and we would go to the basketball/volleyball game. Obviously, on this particular Tuesday, I hadn't gone to the game...but B did. She had tracked down K wanting to know where I was. K knew where I was, but she played dumb and said she didn't know. B went on to say, "I bet she's with Jordan. That fuckin ho. I bet they're having sex right now, lets go kick her ass!" Apparently she didn't realize that K was one of my best friends. B had also said that Jordan liked her better than me and some other nonsense. I told Jordan all this and he called her up and reamed her a new one :) She deserved it :D:D

Naughty Girl

The day after Jordan asked me out, I got to school and my first class was choir. I walked in and sat down, as usual. All of a sudden, B was sitting next to me. I thought to myself, "Ugh, here we go." She always seemed to want to start drama. She asked me, "Did Jordan ask you out last night?" "Yea," I replied, wondering how she knew that. I then remembered that I had been working with her older sister..she was outside at the time but she must have seen the kiss through the window. "What did you say to him?" "I said maybe," I replied. "Well please don't go out with him! I've been hanging out with him lately and he made me fall in love with him! Please Lyndsey, if you love me you won't go out with him!" ...Yeah...I wasn't aware I "loved" her at all. I decided I would do what I wanted and if she didn't like it, she could just deal with it. It wasn't like I would be losing a friend. At the end of the school day, my friend K and I walked out to the parking lot and I saw Jordan in his La Sabre, waiting for me. I told K that I didn't need a ride home and hopped in. We stopped at the gas station for a couple sodas and then drove up to his place. He wasn't living with B's sister anymore, he was working for a farm up on the ridge, and he was living in a trailer on the property. We went inside and sat on the couch for a bit, talking and whatnot. He kissed me and it started getting pretty hot and heavy. We made our way back to the bedroom and he pushed me down on the bed. We continued making out and eventually he asked if he should get a condom. I told him that we should probably wait awhile before we had sex. We kept making out and he slid his hand down my pants and started fingering me. After awhile he was really starting to make me horny so I gave in and said, "Ok, get a condom." Later on, we were back down at my house cuddling on the couch, when he realized that I hadn't given a final decision yet, even though the way I was acting pretty much told him that I wanted to go out with him. He looked at me and said, "So, we're going out, right?"
