Sarah & Gary - Rather Be
Part One
Sarah sighs as she rocks a screaming Harry side to side trying her best to calm him, she was feeling more than stressed out and really felt her head throb but she had no one around to help her. Sarah carefully places baby Harry into his buggy and scrambles out the house making her way over to see Todd, but when knocking on his door and getting no response she gives up and begins to head home.
"Hey Sarah everything alright?"
"Oh uh hey Gary...not really he's been like this for ages he won't settle!" Sensing her worked up mood he takes the buggy gently smiling warmly over at her,
"Lets go back to mine and see if I can calm him hey?"
"Yeah sounds good. Gary thank you for this!"
"No worries that's what mates are for!" Sarah felt deflated hearing him say mates as surely they were more than that! Well they had kissed and he was seeming rather keen before. So what had changed? Sarah sits awkwardly on his Sofa as Gary holds baby Harry in his arms carefully rocking Harry side to side,
"Wow your an natural!"
"So are you Sarah. You feeling better?" Sarah nods her head slowly unsure whether she should bring it up, sensing her hesitance Gary questions her,
"You don't seem it. You look troubled have I said something?" Sarah sighs blushing slightly,
"Yes. Earlier you said we were mates..."
"Right. I'm not following you here see mates is a good thing right?"
"Normally yes but not when...you like someone more than mates" Gary smiles lightly as he carefully placed Harry into his buggy before sitting himself beside her,
"You mean that Sarah?"
"Yes. Look I know I've mucked you around a bit but..." Gary locked his lips onto hers making Sarah deepen the kiss both feeling their stomach flutter with excitement.
Sarah came home with a much settled Harry wearing a massive grin onto her face,
"Hey love just in time for tea!" Gail calls from the kitchen making Sarah smile before she carefully takes Harry out the buggy,
"Just taking Harry upstairs he's flat out!"
"Mum? You look oddly cheery!"
"Oh thanks! Saying I'm a mardy cow the rest of the time!"
"Pretty much yeah!" David says making Sarah playfully shove him before heading upstairs and placing Harry into his cot. After dinner Sarah left the house and made her way over to the Rovers ready for her shift smiling as she sees Anna and Gary enter the pub,
"Hey Liz" Sarah says cheerily as she smiles over at Gary who smiles back,
"Hey love your a bit early!"
"Yeah needed out the house!"
"Hey Sarah how's things?" Gary asks making Sarah blush slightly,
"Never better. You?"
"Perfect" Sarah smiles as she heads out the back and places her coat and bag in the back room before joining Liz behind the bar. Gary stayed behind and waited until Sarah had finished her shift as she left the Rovers she smiles over at Gary,
"Somebody's keen!" Sarah jokes making Gary laugh before taking her hand in his as they walk towards her house,
"How bout we go out for a meal sometime. Just you and me what you reckon?"
"Yeah that sounds lovely!" Gary lightly kisses her lips as Sarah wraps her arms around his neck,
"So Gary not wanting to sound like a nag but what exactly is this?"
"We are together Sarah. That's if you want to be that is?"
"Of course I do. Listen why don't we talk tomorrow..."
"Yeah that sounds good! Night Sarah!"
"Night" Sarah kisses his cheek before heading inside her body pulsing and her heart racing. Sarah Platt was smitten and this time she felt like Gary was going to be different. He was going to be the guy she needs in her life.
