Chapter 4

Patton's POV

I knew she was still staring at me, waiting for me to lift my head. I bit my lip, and slowly looked up at her. She didn't seem so angry anymore, and I sighed with relief inside.

"How about I take you out tonight?" I asked quite quickly. "I'm sure I can make it up to you, and we can spend the whole night together…"

She placed a finger to silence me. "You talk way too much. But if you're desperate, I guess I can let you take me out."

She smiled, and I knew she was messing with me. I held out my hand, and she got up, swung herself over the desk, and sat down on my lap. I hugged her tightly, and I knew she knew she wouldn't be disappointed tonight. I let go, and ushered her out.

"Go and get changed then." I said, pushing her gently out the door. "We leave ASAP."

"But what about you?" She asked.

"What? This isn't good enough?" I replied, standing in a 'what?' pose. She smirked, and left the room. Fanny poked her head I seconds later, and frowned slightly.

"You are not going out like that." She said. "Luckily I thought for you, because you obviously can't do it yourself."

She threw a bag (with somewhat great difficulty) at me. "See you tomorrow the Sergeant." She saluted me sarcastically, and left before I could contemplate throwing something at her. I dropped the bag instead, and decided to scavenge through and see my fate for tonight. I pulled up a shirt, and shrugged before standing back up to look at it properly. I threw it onto the table beside me, and casually pulled my jacket and tank top off. I took my beanie off, and I heard a whistle come from the door. I turned around, and I sware my jaw literally hit the floor in amazement.

My girlfriend stood leaning on the doorframe, and my hormones were racing at her outfit. A midriff boob tube in a pale blue colour, and a very small black skirt.

"Uh….um…wow…" Was all I could say as she stood there. She had gone a tiny bit far with the boob tube being so revealing, but she still looked amazing. But really, when doesn't she?

"Knew you'd like it." her gaze turned to cheek. "You know, if you went out like that I'd be totally set."

I retorted back at her comment. "Sorry to bust your bubble, but I stay covered for the date. You don't want me to draw drooling girls do you?"

She walked slowly in with a smirk. "Just so modest aren't you? But that's why I love you."

I pecked her on the lips, and gestured for her to leave while I got ready.

We walked down the lonely street, hand in hand. I could see Rachel looking at me pleadingly to spill where we were going.

"I'm not gonna tell you where I'm taking you." I said after a while.

"Aww, come on." She tried the puppy dog eyes and the leaning on me, but I just shook my head with a smirk.

"We're almost there." I took her through the local woodland, to a little place Bartie showed me. Of course I had already planned tonight, by getting he and Virginia to organize a few things. I lifted a low branch, and gestured for her to walk under. I heard her gasp with delight, and I knew it was a success.

"Care for a candlelit dinner under the stars?" I asked. She kissed me lightly and I took it as a yes.

The dinner went well, and we still had a few hours to look at the stars. I placed my hands behind my head, and I felt her move in close.
"Tonight was beautiful." She said, moving up and kissing my cheek. "Thank you."

"So…I'm off the hook then?" I asked.

"Yeah." She positioned herself so she was looking down at me. She kissed me with a little more passion, and I knew where she was trying to lead. I merely kissed back without giving the go ahead. I mean, I wanted to, and I was ready…but just not tonight. It didn't feel special enough.

"Listen," I started after we broke our kiss. "My parents are going away next weekend, so we could have the whole house to ourselves, and you could stay over?"

She got the message, and pouted slightly. "I guess so. But I'm holding you to that."

"You expect you not to." I replied. She moved back to my side, rested her head and hand on my chest, and slowly closed her eyes. It made me smile, and I too closed my eyes.
