Ok so I thought I would write a sequel to my fic 'What Are We?' so here we go. Thanks to all the lovely reviews and views of 'What are we?' it means so much to me that you all enjoyed it! This will be multi-chapter so ideas are welcomed! I am away for the next 10 days with very limited wi-fi so highly unlikely there will be an update during that time but one will be up as soon as I can! R&R! x
Chapter 1
It had been 2 weeks since Rita and Iain had become "boyfriend and girlfriend" and they were yet to tell their colleagues and friends about their relationship, Zoe already knew of course but both Rita and Iain were nervous about bringing their relationship out into the open.
They had ended up telling Dixie first, she had been turned down by the adoption agency and Jess hadn't got back to her since their date, so Rita had asked her round to her flat. Forgetting the minor detail that Iain was coming round after his shift, an hour later.
Dixie and Rita enjoyed an hour of chatting, gossiping and just general catch up, they hadn't spent much time together recently, work continually getting in the way, their shifts and free time never coinciding. They were watching some random chic flick on the tv, and they heard a noise at the door, Iain unlocking it with the spare key.
"Are you expecting someone?" Dixie asked.
"Um… sorta. Let me just go and sort this." Rita stumbled making her way to the door.
"I'll just put these in the kitchen." Dixe said motioning to the dirty glasses and plates lying around from their dinner.
"Um, ok." Rita replied, the kitchen was right next to the front door; she would see Iain.
Rita made her way into the hall closely followed by Dixie, stopping short when she saw Iain standing there, her face dropping.
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Iain said.
"Um, hi Iain… Look Dixie's here!" Rita smiled awkwardly, se felt like a little school girl caught doing something naughty by a friend or teacher.
"Dixie?" Iain repeated, his own face falling.
"Iain?" Dixie asked coming into the hall.
"Yeah, I invited Dixie round after work for a catch up, I forgot that you said you'd come by and have a look at that problem in the bathroom." Rita said hurriedly to Iain.
"Wha-? Oh yeah, yeah, the problem in the bathroom that I said I would fix…" Iain trailed off.
"Why does he have a key?" Dixie asked.
"Oh well… I wasn't sure if I would be home so I told him where the spare one was kept." Rita stuttered, she wasn't much good at making lies up on the spot. "Dix, I'll just show Iain whats wrong and I'll be right back." She continued dragging him into the bathroom.
"What the hell's going on?" Iain asked.
"I forgot that you had an early today so you were going to pop round."
"Whys Dixie here?"
"She hasn't had a good week, thought I'd cheer her up a bit."
"Ok, what should I do?"
"Well, we have two options." Rita said, thinking carefully.
"Which are…?"
"You can pretend to fix something in here and then leave and come back after she's gone or…"
"Yes?"
"We tell her."
"…" Iain was silent.
"Ok, bad idea. Forget I said anything." Rita said, regretting what she just said, turning to leave Iain grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Dix, come here a sec mate." He called out.
"What?" Dixie asked from the kitchen.
"We nee you in here." Iain said.
"Alright, I'm not sure what use ill be fixing something but I can hold something I guess…" she slowed as she entered the room, seeing how close Rita and Iain were to each other, a sudden realization coming over her.
"I just want to let you know that I am in love with Rita Freeman and I am hoping that she loves me back." Iain said, his eyes on Rita the whole time, his gaze capturing her own.
"I love you too, Iain." Rita said, reaching up and kissing him.
"Oh, alright, no mushy stuff! Get your hands off each other your like a pair of teenagers!" Dixie exclaimed after a moment or two, she had let the initial shock sink in and was starting to realize the differences in their behaviour recently and it starting to make a lot of sense.
The two broke apart and grinned at one another, Rita letting out a small giggle tht Iain found to cute to ignore and gave her another quick kiss on the lips.
"Well, now all that's out in the open, I'm going to head off and you two lovely ladies are going to enjoy your evening off and have fun!" Iain said making his way to the hall.
"You don't have to go," Dixie said.
"Nonsence, you two have fun, call me later Reets." Iain said planting a final kiss on her lips and leaving.
"Ok, now I want all the details girly! How did you keep that a secret? How long its been going on for? When did it start?..." Dixie continued.
Ok so first chapter there for you guys! Please read and review, it means a lot! Any ideas are welcome! I'm away for the next 10 days with limited wi-fi so updates are highly unlikely but I will update as soon as I can!
