Hardly teenagers?

"Beep, beep."
She heard it faintly, and felt a buzz, as she retrieved her phone from her uniform pocket.
(WILL YOU BE WEARING YOUR RED LIPSTICK TONIGHT? C X)
She smiled down at his text, and shook her head to herself, that feeling in the pit of her stomach slowly surfacing, as she thought of what response to give.
(MIGHT DO. D X)
She replied, and then put her phone back in her pocket, as she carried on with her paperwork duties, stood at the desk at the nurses station in cubicles.
Charlie sat in his office; as he typed out his reply, smiling to himself.
(DIRTY GIRL. 3 HOURS AND 25 MINS TO GO, BEAUTIFUL. JUST YOU AND ME. C X)
Her phone buzzed again, as she checked it. She quickly typed out her reply, trying to not let the other staff see her.
(CAN'T WAIT DARLING. D X)
(ME TOO SWEETHEART. ME TOO. C X)
His phone buzzed, as he quickly replied. Then returned to his own paperwork and thought of where they'd go to first on their date night.

"Twit, t'woo." Alicia said, as she walked into the staff room, as she saw Duffy putting on her red lipstick, as she wore a tight fitting light blue dress, tights, high heels, and her hair down.
"Charlie's a lucky guy." Alicia added.
Duffy blushed, but then winked at her young colleague.
"Haha. I'm sure he'll be the first to admit that too." Duffy replied, smirking at Alicia.
"What's that?" Charlie said, as he came into the staff room, dressed smartly in his crisp dark blue shirt, and jeans, holding his jacket in one hand.
Duffy turned towards him. His eyes lit up, taking in her beauty, he never took his eyes off her, as he walked up to her, and kissed her on her cheek.
He refrained from saying anything, especially in front of Alicia, but he couldn't help but smirk to himself as he saw she wore her red lipstick.
"Nothing darling." Duffy said, as she smiled back at him.
"All set?" He asked.
"Where are you two off to?" Alicia asked.
"Ah, that would be telling." Charlie said, as he winked at Alicia.
"Haha, Charlie." Duffy laughed.
"It's a surprise." He replied.
"Well, don't get thrown out this time where ever it is." Alicia laughed, as she looked at the couple.
"Haha, you asked for that one." Duffy replied, as she nudged Charlie.
"That was your fault not mine." Charlie frowned, as he rubbed his stomach where Duffy had caught him.
"Shouldn't have plied me with all that wine Mr. Fairhead." Duffy laughed, as she responded.
Charlie smirked, as he said.
"I know. But you're always way more fun after wine." Charlie winked back at Alicia.
"Charlie." Duffy said, as she tapped him on his chest with her hand.
"Haha, you're both as bad as each other. Have fun you two." Alicia said, as she shook her head at the couple.
"We will." Charlie said, as he grasped Duffy's hand and led her towards the door.
"Night Alicia." Duffy said, shaking her head at Charlie, as they both left the room.
"Night." Charlie said, as he smirked at Duffy.

"I thought we were going to a restaurant then the pub." Duffy asked, as she stood at the bar waiting for the barmaid to take their order.
"We were going too, until I heard about here." Charlie replied, as the barmaid finally came over to them.
"Large sweet white wine, and a double Jameson's, please." Charlie ordered.
"Oh." Duffy said, as she saw the pub was small, busy, but full of people roughly the same age as them, or a bit younger.
"You'll love them." He added, as he gestured towards the band setting up their instruments.
As they took to their seats, Charlie put his arm around Duffy, and kissed her cheek.
"You look beautiful." He said, into her ear.
"You look pretty alright too Mr." She replied, as she kissed him on the lips. Giggling as she had to rub her lipstick from his lips afterwards.
He smiled back at her.
Then the band began to play.
Duffy's face lit up, it was one of her favourite songs from the seventies, one she'd danced to numerous times around the kitchen whilst cooking.
"Oh Charlie." She said, or mouthed as she could no longer be heard over the music, as she squeezed his hand with hers.
He simply squeezed her hand, and smiled back.
-o-
An hour later, and after many drinks the band had a break.
Charlie turned to Duffy.
"Well?" He asked.
"Brilliant." She replied excitedly.
"Thought you'd like them." He said, as he leaned over to her.
"Come here gorgeous." He added, as he kissed her.
It was a deep kiss, one that they got lost in. It made their heads spin, and pulses race.
"You are so sexy." Charlie said, as he squeezed her leg with his wandering hand.
"Charlie." She blushed, and bit her lip.
"What?" He'd replied; but then looked around the room.
"People will see." She added.
"So." He said.
"We've got nothing to hide Duffy. We aren't the only ones, not here anyway." He remarked; as he turned to others in the room.
Sure enough there were other couples who were kissing, some married, some not. But, the most important thing was, they were all roughly the same age, or thereabouts, as Charlie and Duffy.
"It's for the over 50's only." He said, chuckling to himself.
"Haha, really?" Duffy asked.
"Yeah, really." Charlie replied.
"Fancy a dance later?" He asked, feeling very much at ease, and confident.
"Haha, go on then."
"Good, coz I'd have to ply you with more wine until you said yes." He chuckled, and winked at her.
"Charlie!" Duffy said.
"Yes, dear." He answered.
"You are such a darling man." Duffy said, as she took his collars in both her hands, pulled him close to her and kissed him deeply.
"A lucky one too." He replied, as he smirked back at her, then winked.
