The next morning Jordan was sore and achy all over. The wreck must be taking full affect on her now and she almost wanted to cancel spending the day with Andy's sister. She lay in the bed for a long time listening to the wave's crash against the shore. It was either very early or the day was overcast. Not wanting to move she shifted the pillows to one side so she could read the clock on the table next to the bed. "10:40 oh my god I can't believe I've slept this late, especially since I went to bed so early." Dragging herself out of bed she headed for the bathroom. The bath was a warm welcome to the dreary day and her still tender body. She was very careful to keep her side and leg from getting wet but managed to ease her stiff body awkwardly into a warm bath. Her eye was a now a wonderful Picasso painting full of black and blue with splashes of purple color added for effect. I'm going to have a hard time covering this up she thought as she leaned her head back against the wall. It was nice to just rest and let her troubles float away with the bubbles. So far she needed a vacation from her vacation. She had come there to relax and it had been one thing after the other. "I wonder how Cody and Alex are doing." She said half to herself. A noise in the bedroom startled her and she jumped making her head and side ache as she sat straight up in the tub then relaxed because it was probably just Andy checking on her. She smiled to herself when she remembered that Andy had stayed on the couch last night. She had not heard him earlier so he was either still sleeping or had been out somewhere. "Jordan" Andy called softly at the bathroom door. "Yes." Andy grinned at the image in his mind of her taking a bath with a tub full of bubbles and a magazine perched on a tray in front of her. "I was just making sure that you are feeling all right and don't need any help." Jordan almost laughed out loud. "No I'm perfectly fine Thank you. I believe I can handle it for now." He smiled at the hint of amusement in her voice. "Would you like something to eat?" Jordan was thoughtful for a moment. "Yes, but I'm not exactly sure what I want so I guess just wait. Have you eaten yet?" "No I was thinking of calling Mrs. Sparks and having her whip up a great brunch for us what do you think? Does that sound all right to you?" "Oh yes that sounds wonderful. I'll be done in just a little while and we can get going." "Let me know if you need help doing something like washing your back or maybe getting some clothes on." Jordan grinned. "I don't think that will be necessary at all thank-you very much." Andy just simply laughed low and easy. "As you wish." He stated and slowly walked back to the couch to get his cell phone.
