-Walk Me Home-
By 12 o'clock the dance was over and everyone was leaving. Joey held onto Caitlin's hand as they walked out saying goodbye to all their friends.
"So, I got my car fixed--again-- need a ride?" Joey asked hoping she'd say yes.
"Um... okay sure"she said with a smile
They both headed to the back lot where Joey's car was parked. Wheel's was waiting by the car but when he saw Joey and Caitlin walking up he quickly said something about never mind he doesn't need a ride home he's catching a ride w/ Snake, then quickly ran to find Snake before he took off, making it obvious he was only doing so that would give Caitlin and Joey some alone time. They both got in the car and Joey started it up, it made a weird sound but eventually started. Caitlin laughed a bit.
"That doesn't sound too good are you sure this thing is safe?"
"Of course it is. That noise just means its ready to go!" he quickly lied, hoping to god the car didn't break down.
Joey pulled out of the lot and turned the music up a little. There was a bit of an awkward silence for a second before Caitlin spoke up
"I love this song."
"Yeah me too" he said smiling, trying not to gag
"Yeah right you don't like this song" she said laughing a little
"I do...Honestly" he said, not helping his smile
"Joey Jeremiah your the worst liar...I can always tell when your lying, you give it away"
"Oh yeah? how?" he said still grinning
"Cuz you get that cocky grin when your lying to try and charm people to fall for your lies" she said looking at him with a 'you know I'm right' sort of face, but still letting a little smile slip in
"Well Caitlin I guess you just know me too well. I cant get anything past you...oh no-- no No NO come on baby not now!" he said in a loud frustrated voice talking over the loud noises coming from the car. He pulled over to the side, knowing his car was going to die any minuet, and as soon as he did the car put put putted to a halt. He let out a loud sigh and put his head on the steering wheel. There was a silence for a minuet because neither of them really knew what to say, finally Joey spoke up.
"Caitlin I'm really sorry. Every time I get my car fixed the tell me its fine and every time this happens..."
"Maybe you shouldn't keep brining it to the same garage" she said, clearly trying to make a joke to make him feel at leased a little bit better.
"Yeah I guess so... but look I really am sorry, I really do feel bad, I just wanted to have one nice normal date with you where everything was perfect" he said, sounding upset
"Whoever said this date wasn't perfect? I never did. I mean, look on the bright side, no one ended up getting drenched in coke and the night didn't end with fire trucks." she paused for a second to laugh, then she got serious, "Look, Joey I had a really good time with you tonight. This was the best date I've ever had, and im happy it was with you..." She paused for another second. "Well my house is only a couple blocks away I can walk from here." She opened the door and got out, "Oh and Joey...thanks again for a perfect date, I'm just sorry you didn't enjoy yourself"she gave a half smile, shut the door and began to walk away. Joey reached for the handle to open the door as quick as he could and jumped out.
"Caitlin! Hey Caitlin...wait up" He said catching up to her. Caitlin turned around to look at Joey
"Yeah?" she asked
Joey grabbed her hand and held it
"I'll walk you." he said
"Thanks" Caitlin replied smiling
"Joey P.E. Jeremiah, P.E. for Personal Escort, at your service" He said as they began walking down the street slowly hand in hand.
"Ooh aren't I lucky?" she said
Joey laughed a bit, gently squeezing Caitlin's hand as he walked her home under the light of the moon.
