Lorraine's POV

Sat in my office, well Michaels but it's my school, so I guess its technically
mine, trying to concentrate on work I was doing, but all I can think of is Nikki
Boston, there was something about her, I mean yes she's attractive, but there's
something more, I feel like I want to get to know her better. In the meeting I couldn't
take my eyes off her, the way she holds

herself in front of everyone, and wasn't phased at all. She was a bitch for
scaring me this morning though, shat my pants, and must have looked like a
right twat! Shit I'm not working still, I really want to ask her for a drink
but she is a teacher, is it allowed? Michael is seeing Christine I guess, and Audrey
is seeing that new janitor, so I guess it wouldn't be wrong?

There was a knock on the door, i'd been so busy entangled in my own thoughts I didn't
see them walk past the window, Sonya wasn't to be seen. 'Come in' I beckoned.

Oh my god, it was Nikki, looking as gorgeous as ever, in her lycra, she must of
just had PE she had a bit of a sweat on. Shit I was staring. She obviously
noticed looking down at herself a bit paranoid.

'Soz just been outside doing PE' she panted.

'Yeah, you look... Sweaty'

'aha sorry, urm is Michael about?'

'Oh thought you'd come to see me, but no he is not, he's probably with
Christine or something' I replied a bit gutted she wanted to see Michael.

'Ha-ha, yeah he probably is, it is lunch I guess, okay, sorry to bother you.' Nikki
said quite apologetically.

'No need to apologise Nik! To be honest I'm bored shitless, and I can't
concentrate, there's always something happening that needs sorting.' I lied it
was her distracting me, and I didn't want her to leave, I was rambling on,
about pointless crap, just so she would stay longer.

She interrupted me, 'sorry Lorraine but I best get back lesson will be starting
in a bit'

Shit it's now or never Lorraine, just bloody ask her!

I just blurted it out, 'wait! Wana go for a drink tonight?'

'Yeah sounds good' Michael replied, shit I didn't even notice him and Sonya
walk in! 'Yeah I'm up for that!' she exclaimed.

I didn't know what to do, so I just went along with it, hoping Nikki would say
she was coming. 'Yeah usual place?' she finally replied. 'Yeah around 8 good
for everyone?'

A collective yes and everyone went back to business. Well that wasn't quite how
id liked it to have gone, but at least it's a start.

I was counting down the hours till I could go home!

Nikki POV

Did Lorraine just asks me on a date? Or did she mean to ask the whole workforce?
I didn't even realise they walked in, she looked just as shocked as me, when
she realised. Oh well, tonight would still be good, Lorraine hardly ever comes
out with us lot when we go to the pub, so tonight should be interesting.

I was at home deciding what to wear. I needed to impress Lorraine, without
looking to obvious to the others. Hmm, dark blue skinny jeans, a silky blouse
tucked in, with a pair of black Nike blazers, should cervice, smart casual, I
put on some darker eye shadow, and some jewellery, and were ready to go! As it
was a school night, I decided to drive, as getting wasted on a work night wasn't
my style. And I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of Lorraine.

I walked in the pub the usual lot was already in our usual corner, Christine, Michael,
tom, Audrey, and Sonya, but no Lorraine. I got a beer, then sat down, 'hey
guys, u okay?' the usual chit chat started. 'Sonya, Lorraine not coming?' I
asked. 'Oh yeah she is, she takes forever to get ready, look here she is!' she says
pointing over to the door.

Wow, Lorraine had made an effort, a short black leather skirt, with pink heels
and a matching blouse, her hair cascading over her shoulders, and a big smile
on her face. 'Alright everyone, sorry I'm late, had some stuff to sort out, who
wants a drink, I'm buying?' god she's so generous. Everyone shouted their
orders at her, and she totters off to the bar. ' I'll go help her carry them' I
say, not that anyone's listening, they're all engrossed in convocation.

'Heyy' I say while nudging Lorraine's shoulder with mine.

'God I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to invite all them lot'

I laugh 'don't worry, it's quite funny really!'

'Really?! I was mortified I wanted you to myself'.

'Well you'll just have to be patient then, or choose a better time to ask me
out' I say laughing.

'Mmhh yeah! I defo timed that well! Here make yourself useful and carry these'
she says loading me up with glasses full of alcohol.

We take them back to the table and the night goes quite fast, it was 11 o clock
and all who was left were me, Lorraine, tom and Sonya. 'Right I best be going, Sonya,
do you wana get a taxi with me?' tom asked, they lived quite close. 'Yeah that
would be great. Night you two' Sonya said. 'Yeah good night cya tomoz' tom
repeated. We both said night in unison, and looked at each other, I wish I
could have kissed her there and then, but I couldn't.

'Right I best be heading home too, you want a lift?' I asked.

'You drove? Oh I didn't realise, nah ill get a cab, don't wana put you out'

'not a tall! I really don't mind, you're on the way'

'yeah a good 10mins out of your way!'

'Come on, I'm not taking no for an answer'

'okay, okay, thank you'

We were walking down the street to where my car was parked. Lorraine linked her
arm with mine, I wasn't sure if it was because she could barely walk in the
state she was in, or she actually just felt like it. I liked it though.

We pulled up to her house and I parked next to her car.

'Thanks Nik, I really appreciate the lift.'

'No worries, anytime'

I was expecting her to just get out, but she was still comfortably sat. 'Nikki...'

I turned to look at her and instantly her lips were locked onto mine, I didn't
know what to do, so I just kissed her back, it felt soo good, running my hands
through her long blonde hair, then she pulled away.

'Shit, I I I'm sorry she stuttered, and pushed the door open as fast as she
could and ran to her door. It all happened so fast that by the time I knew what
had happened she had already gone inside. Wow I didn't think she felt that way
about me. I drove home and couldn't wait for tomorrow.
