Car Share: For Your Eyes Only

Chapter 1

Four months on, John and Kayleigh's blossoming relationship was still going from strength to strength. The intention of keeping their relationship a secret from their nosy colleagues had lasted an impressive three and a half months. Cath Hilton was the first person to cotton on to the fact John and Kayleigh had secretly been courting. She had witnessed how the two of them were feeling euphoric whilst thinking about each other. Cath was of course thrilled for John, knowing now that she won't be seeing him moping around the store with a face that resembles that of a sulky Britain's Got Talent reject.

Two more colleagues were the next to discover Kayleigh was seeing John; Stink Ray of all people chanced upon them on a date at the cinema in town while he too was on a date at the same cinema with a woman named Valerie. He could tell that the pair only had eyes for one another and while watching the same film, on one or two occasions he caught them sharing a few sneaky kisses. He couldn't believe it but then again he feels the obvious clues had been there all along. Take that time when he asked for a lift from Mr Redmond that morning last July, something which the Assistant Manager obviously felt extremely uncomfortable about doing. Kayleigh had behaved like a right troublemaker, sticking her bloody oar in whenever he was trying to have a one on one conversation with Mr Redmond. He had asked if he could get a lift home but it became perfectly clear right away that the pair wanted to be alone and so they had come up with an excuse to get him out the way.

The next day the fishmonger could hardly keep his stinky mouth shut for a little more than a few seconds. He decided he would tell the next person he bumps into in the staff room and then from thereon he would let this person be responsible for spreading the news of Mr Redmond and Kayleigh's relationship throughout the store within the next few hours. Elsie O'Quinn just so happened to be that very person.

"Just how much Salmon have you been sniffing? You wee slippery so and so." Elsie wasn't afraid to put the unpopular fishmonger in his place about his unpleasant behavior. She hasn't forgotten the many times he had come sniffing around poor Kayleigh when he believed he had THE chance with her. Like a bloody dog on heat he had been. Thankfully Kayleigh never saw him as potential boyfriend material and turned him down on three previous occasions.

"I saw them with my very own eyes Elsie. Mark my word, I shall be informing Mr Thompson what I witnessed last night." Ray was not to be blackmailed nor talked out of telling the truth. He felt he had every right to speak up and voice his concerns. Besides Dave Thompson was bound to go ballistic anyway once he hears that Mr Redmond has personally been fraternizing with Kayleigh Kitson, who he knows isn't very well liked at all by the Scot.

"Oh really?" Elsie asks. Folding her arms. Her eyes were cross-examining him from across the room. She knows Ray needed to be taught a lesson. What Mr Redmond and Kayleigh got up to together outside work was certainly none of his business whatsoever. A sudden smirk forms on her lips.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ray asks. He feels the tables are now being turned on him and he has to admit he doesn't like this feeling one little bit.

"Your date last night was she Scottish by any chance?" Elsie makes a start on outsmarting the spiteful little weasel. Boy this was going to be a lot of fun.

"Yes she was. What's it to you?" Ray confirms with such an egotistical look that's just begging to be smacked off his face.

"Oh nothing. Just I heard a rumour that she's Mr Thompson's niece. Moved here locally recently, Diane off Non Foods was telling me the other day. Dave's letting her do of a month unpaid work at the store. He's told his niece he doesn't want her calling him 'Uncle' everytime they see each other around the store. Eh I betcha didn't expect that twist did ya Stinky, wormy weasel!" Elsie was on fire and boy did she enjoy watching Ray squirm.

"You're lying, so you can help cover for Kayleigh and Mr Redmond." Ray was fighting a losing battle against his formidable Irish colleague.

"You're accusing me of being a liar. Pfft...You're one to talk Mister. I haven't forgotten that time you tried to blame Young Gareth for the shortage of drinks at the Christmas party last year. YOU KNOW!" Elsie wasn't going to stand for this bullshit from him any longer.

"I know what?" Ray couldn't maintain eye contact with her, given how she was constantly threatening to remain a thorn in his side and wasn't backing down from challenging him, in the case of his past lies catching up with him.

"You stashed them away in your car and kept them all for yourself. Oh I can tell Dave Thompson there and then. I'm pretty sure he would guarantee you would be out on your arse quicker than it takes me to eat three mince pies." Elsie says with a such satisfying smile and a pose that the Queen of Essex herself Gemma Collins would be proud of.

"Okay I won't go and tell Dave Thompson but you know things in this store won't stay secret for long. Sooner or later everyone will be raving about those two as if they're the new Posh and Becks of this store." Ray gave in, deciding it probably wasn't worth him potentially losing his job for.

Elsie heads off, hoping to find where was Kayleigh, so she could get the full details from her on what she had long suspected for months. She had so many questions to ask her. Which wild animal would Kayleigh describe Mr Redmond as being while they're in the bedroom? What nicknames do they call each other? Who is the best kisser between the two of them?

John was driving Kayleigh back to Bury after a strenuous day at work. They were glad to be not finding themselves under the watchful eye of their nosy colleagues.

"My house tonight. Takeaway meal, your choice of course. Whatever you want. My choice... Bond film on DVD...no wriggling yourself out on this one again Kayleigh. We're watching Skyfall." John's favourite Daniel Craig film was Bond which he had recently bought for himself.

"John do we have to?" Kayleigh couldn't stand the thought of sitting through watching a Bond film.

"Yes we do. Christ I'm surprised you don't find Daniel Craig attractive." John had honestly expected Kayleigh to be drooling over pictures of the actor everytime he showed a handful of them to her on his laptop. Sadly not. The only responses she gave were...'why does this forehead look weird?' 'why does he never smile?', 'sorry but he's not my type' and 'why does he run like a bear trying to complete the 100 metres?'

"Why would I find Daniel Craig attractive? John, you're the only man I will ever find attractive...and love of course." Kayleigh knows her heart well and truly belongs to John. She knows if Daniel Craig came swanning in to sweep her off her feet dressed as James Bond, in her mind she's already got it all worked out how she would him tell to sling his hook.

"Really?" The fact Kayleigh considered him a sex symbol over a film actor left John feeling rather humbled. It's a moment he would cherish forever, knowing she loved him for who he is and how she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, making sure she helped him to kick-start his diet, reduce his cholesterol and to help him make a start with eating the right food wraps and healthy sandwiches. Well she wanted what was best for him at the end of the day and he could hardly blame her for that. He thinks to himself, 'Bloody hell what am I letting myself in for, with Kayleigh Kitson controlling what I eat and do daily?'

Forever FM was playing Hold Me Now by Thompson Twins

'I have a picture,
Pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
Look at our life now, tattered and torn.
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind

Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah go far away
But you know that there's no where that I'd rather be than with you here
Today

Hold me now, warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)'

"So do you fancy giving Skyfall a watch or not?" John returns the topic of conversation to where it started off, discussing James Bond films and attempting to talk Kayleigh into miraculously giving one Daniel Craig/Bond film a watch at least.

"Well I guess I can't exactly say no can I? I'm only doing this for you Johnathan, to make you happy." Kayleigh giggled. She was expecting him to be all giddy with excitement because he had successfully convinced her to watch her first proper James Bond film.

"What? you know you don't have to make me happy. I'm already happy enough as it is." John was a man brimming with complete confidence and the happiest he had felt in as many years. He had no reason to be made doubly happy by the woman he loves.

"There's always a first for everyone." Kayleigh winks her eye suggestively at him. "If I'm doing this for you, I think there's something you should be doing for me...you know as a favour." She was power bloody mad she was, that was the only answer for it, John thought to himself.

"Like what?" He asks her while he's still got both eyes on the road.

"Perform a Magic Mike for me." Kayleigh answered his question with a fulfilling smile.

"Eh?! Yer what?" John responded with quite frankly the funniest face ever that she had seen him pull. John gulped in his throat as soon as he consciously became aware of how she had made her feelings perfectly clear and how her lady time was up for the biggest party it had ever thrown.

"Perform a Magic Mike dance for me." Kayleigh repeated her request.

"Are you on glue? I can't do it now while I'm driving!" John calmly shouted. Now weren't the right time for playing sexy games or taking advantage of each other.

"Alright. Later then." As a matter of fact this had been her aim all along. Finding the right moment to make her suggestion during the rush hour on the motorway to Bury. then sit back and be entertained, as she watched him sweat and him make her laugh with his reaction. She had completed her mission with great success with five stars.

"I'll do it but I want you to know I'm no Channing Whats-his-face..." John agreed to make her night extra special. The pair had watched the film on DVD one night while she was staying overnight at his house. That night her praising and appreciation for this Channing actor was like an cassette tape on endless repeat. She was practically drooling over the bloke who had an impeccable six pack.

"Good...Good...I'll choose one of my favourite playlists for you to strip off too." Kayleigh rubbed her both hands with glee.

"Eh...You've got this off to a fine art haven't you... In that head of yours." John faintly nodded and smiled away knowingly to himself, enjoying the fact he had exposed her mischievous plotting.

"I guess I've got years of practice to thank, that's finally paying off for me at long last." Kayleigh was taking great pleasure in her perfecting the art of accomplishing how she wanted their night to pan out. Drop her work stuff off at Mandy's house. Get changed out of her work clothes and into one of her finest party dresses. Head off to John's. Settle down and watch John's favourite film and then maybe later she could talk him into treating her to the much anticipated striptease performance if he was still up for the challenge of performing it.

John grinned, perhaps this weren't be as bad as it sounded. Anyway the only audience he would have in his house would be Kayleigh and besides he felt unashamedly excited at the prospect of entertaining her in a new and thrilling way. She was going to see a completely new side to him. A side to him which blow her away. One which leave her begging for more.

They got to Mandy's house around 5:45pm. Steve was chatting with John in the living room while Kayleigh was busy taking forever to get changed upstairs. Misty was barking in the garden. Alfie was staying over at a school friend's house and Chloe was in her room, doing homework. So the house was virtually quiet and not the chaotic household it was every night of the week.

Steve had both feet up on the pouffe, while he and John were trying to make their conversation last longer. John felt like a nervous boyfriend getting to meet his girlfriend's parents except Steve wasn't an overprotective father but just a trusting brother-in-law who wanted to make sure John was making Kayleigh happy and loved.

John had mentioned to Steve 3 weeks ago that his boss at work was breathing down his neck and his outrage when he became aware of the many dropped hints from Dave that he should do the right thing for his career, by calling time on his relationship with Kayleigh.

"So how's things at work? Has that boss of yours been giving you the third degree on the rights and wrongs of mingling with shop floor workers again?"

"No he's laid off me...I think for now. He's never liked Kayleigh from Day One even before the Car Share scheme began. Went ballistic when he found out about me and Kayleigh's relationship. Said he should have Kayleigh transferred to Wigan store when he had the chance to months ago." John reveals to Steve, Dave's failed plan to transfer Kayleigh o another store and his eventual relief over Dave possibly having a change of heart/slowly accepting the inevitable truth that John and and Kayleigh were an inseparable couple.

"What a bloody arsehole" Steve knows if he were in John's shoes he would certainly not take that sort of the behavior from his unlikable boss and he would be out the door if the boss ended up refusing to apologize to him.

"I know. 12 years you'd think the bosses bloody running the place would have rewarded me with a bloody medal for the stuff I've have to put up with...thanks to Dave 'arseclown' Thompson. " John feels he deserves a golden medal for the outrageous stunts Dave's pulled over the years and the constant badmouthing of people he doesn't see eye-to-eye which included Kayleigh.

"I'm sure you'll get one eventually, once your boss goes swanning back to Scotland or gets caught red-handed with this Rachel woman. Who me and Mandy have heard a lot about from Kayleigh." Kayleigh had told her sister and her brother-in-law that Rachel was a bit of a slapper, chasing after blokes who weren't interested in her. Dressed as Cat-woman, she had gone all out to get claws into John at the Summer party in August but he being the respectable gentleman he was, kept his distance from her and stuck with Kayleigh all night.

"Wouldn't surprise me if either two happened. I'll just be glad to see the back of him the day it happens." John is keeping his fingers crossed that very day will be by the end of the month. Dave had been on borrowed time for 6-7 months after his triple bypass operation and then him returning to work a month earlier than expected.

They heard Kayleigh's footsteps coming down the stairs. John bolted from the sofa. He was now making the effort of waiting patiently for her to enter the living room.

"Jesus John. You've really got it bad haven't you." Steve laughs. He looks up to see his friend acting like a bag of nerves while he was standing next to the coffee table and watching the living room doorway like a hawk.

Kayleigh appears, she's wearing a sparkling silver dress and her hair looks straighter than usual. John is utterly floored by her heavenly transformation. He thinks she looks a million dollars as he walks over to her. "Oh Aye, I've not seen that dress before. How long have you had it owned?"

"Three years, I forgot I had it. Looks like it's come handy for me tonight...if you what I mean." Kayleigh wears a proud smile, subtly hinting as to how she sees their evening concluding. She is annoyed to see Steve sat there like the King on the Price Castle', listening in on their intimacy of their conversation. He seemed to be eavesdropping far too much as far as she was concerned and ought to bugger off and resume working on his bike.

"You look fantastic in it. You really do Kayleigh." Although the two weren't going anywhere particular fancy that evening - just they would be spending the night at John's house instead, snuggling up on his sofa, watching Skyfall on DVD and then later indulge themselves in some passion-filled romance and role-playing antics with each other.

"Anyway we better be off. Heard on the radio at lunchtime at work, that there might be some roadworks tonight on one of the roads leading out of Bury. Don't want me and Kayleigh being caught up in the middle of i, do I? Been nice to talking to you Steve. " John comes up an excuse worthy of an Oscar winning performance. that the legendary actor Michael Caine will be extremely proud of.

"I didn't know there was roadworks starting tonight..." Kayleigh has yet to master the art of detecting John's obvious little white lie. It takes at least five minutes for her to eventually put two and two together, as to what he's actually up to.

"Yeah they said on Forever FM that cars maybe stuck in traffics for a couple of hours. So I don't want to take the risk of driving Kayleigh to mine around 7, do i?" John placed his hand over Kayleigh's in a flash, surprising her, she squealed soon as she feels his huge hand squeezing hers. John intertwining his fingers with hers was honestly the best feeling ever. None of her exes had ever embraced openly showing her affection nor treated her so lovingly. She was glad to find herself being worshipped for the grounds she walked on by John.

"Oh well, have fun then you two." Steve said as he watched John and Kayleigh leaving the front room, holding hands. He liked having John as a mate and as someone who he could discuss which are the greatest motorbikes of all time with. Mandy believes John is absolutely the best thing that's ever happened to her sister. John and Kayleigh were delighted to share their news with Steve and Mandy first. Kayleigh had persuaded John that telling their families about their relationship was a better thing to do than keeping under it wraps from them.

Kayleigh pulled him in for a slow lingering kiss no sooner after he had finally parked his backside on the driver's seat. John was the first to pull back for air after a while. She had well and truly knocked him for six with her latest kiss. John smiled, he became aware of the fact that during the first few months of their courtship, Kayleigh still had the ability to overwhelmingly surprise him with the timings of her kisses. He felt so lucky to be blessed with having such an amazing and gorgeous girlfriend as Kayleigh.
