She stood alone on the small footbridge they usually met on after one of them needed picking up from the pub, the coldness of the dark night prickling her skin deeply. Where was she? They normally meet at 9.30pm give or take five minutes, but it was now getting close to ten. There was definitely no echo of footsteps around, not ones that belonged to her lover.
As ten o'clock struck, there still wasn't any sign. Surely she would have called if she couldn't make it. All Nikki wanted to do was meet with her and be taken home for some quality time, something they hadn't been able to have over the past few weeks due to work commitments.
Nikki closed her eyes and tried to rationalise in her brain where exactly Diane could have gotten to, before flipping her phone open and calling her. Sighing as her call had been rejected, Nikki leant on the edge of the bridge and looked down into the water, as she suddenly felt arms wrapping tightly around her waist. Startled, but trapped between the bridge and the other person, and unable to move, she closed her eyes and dreaded what she thought was next to come.
She then felt something strange, one of the hands wrapped so tightly around her waist, made its way along her arm and to her hand, spinning her around. Her eyes still closed, she felt herself being pulled close to the other person.
"Didn't think I'd forgotten, did you?" whispered a familiar voice.
Opening her eyes, Nikki grinned as she saw Diane standing before her, wrapping her arms equally as tight around her, then kissed her softly.
"Don't you do that to me again, I was worried," Nikki said quietly.
"Sorry, I got tied up at work, I didn't have time to phone and then I was in too much of a rush to get here..." Diane said, kissing Nikki with a slight passion.
"Mmm... well you're forgiven this time, don't let it happen again."
"Sarge!" Diane saluted teasingly.
"Yeah, yeah, alright. You taking me home or what?"
"Now there's an offer I can't refuse," Diane smirked, leading Nikki away to her car, hand in hand, "Oh, Nikki... we've got my son tonight... he's being dropped round in a bit..."
Trying not to look to disappointed at the fact that their quality time had just been thrown away yet again, Nikki managed to smile. "That's lovely," she said.
"Don't worry, you'll get your time with me when he goes to bed," Diane replied.
"That had better be a promise!" Nikki teased.
"Oh, it is," Diane winked, as she got into the car.
