It was a week since Gary had dumped Rose.
And Miranda wasn't happy either.
"Mike's such a bore" she told Stevie as they were sat in the shop.
"Then why are you with him?"
The question baffled Miranda. Why was she with him? She didn't love him…
"Big one?" Stevie questioned.
"I'm going to do it!" Miranda smiled pulling her phone out of her pocket.
"You can't dump him via text message!"
"Why not?" Miranda asked.
"It's not fair is it?" Stevie thought for a moment, "In fact, do whatever you think is right!" She smiled.
I'm sorry, but we can't go on like this. I'm not happy anymore, it's not you, it's me. My heart just isn't in it…. Hope one day you find the one. MX
It was only a few minutes later her phone started to ring.
Miranda picked it up, "Stevie, I can't answer it!" she pushed it toward her tiny friend.
"Fine" she mumbled answering. "Hello?"
"Stevie, where's quirky?!" Mike asked quickly.
"She went out, just a minute ago, didn't say where left her phone, sorry" and she quickly hung up.
"Thanks Stevie" Miranda smiled putting her phone back.
Stevie smiled.
Miranda's phone bleeped, it was a text, from Mike.
Just to let you know I was gonna dump you. Just didn't get the chance. Mike.
Miranda sighed and showed it to Stevie.
"I think he's just rebounding. Like they do, get dumped, act like they don't care..."
"I'm off to the restaurant." Miranda added.
"Don't be too long, delivery at one."
"FINE!" Miranda moaned leaving.
*at the restaurant*
Miranda slumped on a stool and put her head in her hands.
"Hey, what's up?" Gary asked softly facing her.
"I dumped mike" Miranda sighed.
"Oh, and, are you ok?" Gary asked sympathetically.
Miranda shrugged.
Gary walked around the bar and went up to her bundling her into his arms. "Head up" he whispered kissing her head.
Miranda hugged him to her tight.
They pulled apart and Gary sat next to her, sipping on his coffee.
"What was it over?" he asked.
"He just suddenly got so boring; I mean, he texted me last week and said that he was going to take me out somewhere romantic at the weekend. I spent Saturday sat in the park watching some stupid birds…"
Gary laughed. "He never deserved you… far too posh…"
Miranda laughed.
Everything went quiet, and they caught each other's gaze. They slowly lent in, their lips meeting.
The world suddenly stopped, the moment they had both been waiting for was upon them, and it was perfect.
*BZZT*
"For f" Gary moaned pulling his phone out of his pocket reading the text. "It's Rose" Gary complained opening it.
We need to talk… Rose
"Sorry" Gary complained putting the phone back in his pocket, ignoring the message.
"It's fine" Miranda sighed standing up.
"Where you going?" Gary asked standing up and following her.
"Home"
"Miranda, wait…" Gary grabbed hold of her and pulled her towards him, kissing her again.
Her arms slipped behind his back, pulling him closer as they kissed.
When they finally parted for air they both grinned, resting their foreheads together.
"I need to go back to the shop, delivery, but I'll see you later?"
"Probably tomorrow, late night tonight…" Gary whispered.
"OK" Miranda replied before kissing him again.
*later on*
Gary was in the kitchen, preparing for the evening meals. His phone started to ring.
"What does she want?" Gary moaned answering his phone as he lent back against the counter. "Rose?! Why do you keep ringing me?"
Her voice was a timid whisper, "Gary. I'm pregnant…"
