Uploading two more chaps tonight... I've actually done loads more, but I don't want to flood you all.. :P Let me know what you think, as always :))
Her heart was dancing in her chest; everything had gone better than expected. They stumbled through the streets like a pair of teenagers, hands swinging between them. She was beginning to feel very woozy, to the point where it became very obvious, even to her, that they had both had a little too much to drink, and stopping off at a bar on the way had definitely not helped matters, they'd only ducked in out of the cold, but the warming effects of alcohol proved too difficult to resist. She hadn't drank like this in years and it was undeniably obvious.
"My God, I feel like we've walked for miles," Greg said to her, with a wobble that nearly pulled her over, she managed to regain her balance, just, however he followed his wobble with a near fall. He covered it well, though, with a spin and a hair ruffle. She giggled at him; he was such a geek... an utterly gorgeous geek.
"We probably have, I am absolutely soaked," she pushed her hair out of her face. It was now so wet it didn't fall back into place when she pushed it back over her head. She looked over at him, her vision was slightly blurred but she could see that his hair was flat against his forehead, he was squinting as water ran over his face, "looks like I'm not the only one," she said with a smirk, finding his face and nudging his hair away from his eyes.
"Really? I hadn't noticed..." she hit him on the arm with the back of her hand, the force of which caused another drunken wobble, "Ow! Sar, you're breaking my heart with all this abuse this evening"
"You're a grown man, Grego, get over it," she said with a grin. He smiled and lifted his hand to her face, missing the first time, but managing the second, brushing a few trickles of rain away.
"Come on, you'll get hypothermia if we stand around for much longer," he linked his fingers with hers once more and they carried on. She squeezed his hand and stroked his knuckles with the tips of her fingers. She could just about see his boyish smile in the corner of her eyes.
Her eyes searched for familiarities around her but struggled to focus. She'd been almost everywhere in this city, on good business and bad, but as she made her way down the dimly lit streets she couldn't quite pinpoint where she was. Her head was spinning and she felt incredibly sleepy, she contemplated whether her body would keep on walking if she just shut her eyes just for one second...
"Hey, TAXI!" she awoke from her daze with a start, she felt around for Greg's hand, but it was gone. She blinked hard and opened her eyes wide, for the briefest of moments she felt incredibly alone. She finally saw him way up in front, practically falling onto a slowing, oncoming yellow blur. She rubbed both her eyes and tried to walk to where he was, but her legs felt numb. "Come on Sar-Bear, we've been saved!"
"How are you still walking, I can barely move!" she shouted after him.
"But you are moving, that's some fine moving you're doing there," she looked down and her legs were definitely taking her forward, this was incredibly unnerving.
"Greg, this is your fault, absolutely your fault, I can't believe you've got me into this state," taking a few more steps she found her way to where Greg was. He was now leaning up against the car holding the door open. She burrowed her way through his jacket and laid her head on his chest. "I hate you," she said, grinning into his seriously damp shirt.
"No you don't," he lifted her face up from him and she looked into those gorgeous brown eyes. Her heart fluttered as she got lost in them.
"I think you should take me home now, I definitely... definitely need to be at home with you,"
"Well, I didn't flag this cab down for nothing you know," he flashed her that cheeky grin. She planted a kiss on his lips before pulling away completely to begin the battle of getting into the cab. A true gentleman, he took her hand so she could steady herself and climb in, following shortly afterwards.
They sat completely still for just a second, taking in their new and warm surroundings before Greg leaned forward and gave the driver their destination. She swivelled onto her hip so she was facing him and let her head rest on the back of her seat. She felt increasingly dizzy as the car started up again...
