I grabbed my coat off the back of my chair, checking for my keys, money and phone before heading off to the staff room. I walked over to Christine and Simon who were discussing budgets again. "Hey, Kacey and I were going to go and have a look at some of our competition this afternoon since we are both free, just in case you were looking for us." I told them. They both nodded, absorbing in whatever new budgets that was in front of them. Taking this is my queue to leave; I headed off to meet Kacey.
As I got to me car, she was lying across my car bonnet, reading the latest copy of 'Short Illustrates' that I had bought her two days previously. "I would have thought you had finished that by now." I started pulling the magazine out of her hands. "Hey! I was reading that!" She said, trying to grab it out of my hand. "Get in." I told her, unlocking the car and jumping in myself. Once she was in and belted up I handed back the magazine. "Just because she can't appreciate the classics..." She mumbled under her breath. I laughed. "And as my girlfriend," Kacey really put emphasis in the word 'girlfriend'. It made my stomach leap with joy. "You better get use to it!" I grinned, starting the car and pulling out of the car Park. "And what gives you the idea that I am your girlfriend?" I continue to grin at her. She scoffed. "Maybe the last hour that you spent with me your tongue was down my throat?" I shook, laughing, as she rummages through all the compartments of my very tidy Mitsubishi Warrior. She found a packet of gum, obviously what she was looking for. She took a piece and put it in her mouth. I looked at her expectantly as we pulled up to a traffic light. She leant across the centre of the car and pulled her head to mine, kissing me passionately, and her tongue giving me the piece of hum. She then pulled away, popping another piece into her mouth.
We were basically silent for the rest of the journey. It was not uncomfortable though. Every time I put my hand on the gear stick, she would interlock her fingers with mine and give me one of her beautiful smiles. Kacey pulled her tie off and put on her letterman jacket. I always thought that she looked hot when she wore it. This time I was very thankful I could finally say it out loud. "That jacket makes you look so hot." I told her, biting my lip again. "Why, thank you, Girlfriend." She replied, smirking again. My heart literally stopped when she called me that, it just sounded so perfect coming from her lips. "You are welcome. I guess you like that word?" I asked her. "Yeah, I guess. I have spent so much time just not knowing. It's nice to know exactly what I want for once." She replied, kissing the back of my hand. I couldn't stop the grin that was spreading right across my face.
I drove out of Greenock for a while until we reached my favourite restaurant. I knew that although most of the staff here knew me, none of them would know Kacey so we were safe to do what we wanted here. Once I had parked the car, Kacey pulled me in for another kiss; however this time she took the piece of gum out of my mouth. She then spat both pieces into a tissue. "Hey, I was eating that!" I exclaimed. However Kacey just smiled her cheeky smile and jumped out the car. I followed her and got out of the car. I followed her and got out of the car. I interlocked our fingers together again and kissed her forehead before pulling her towards the restaurant. I knew the waiter that greeted us at the door. His name was John. He had really white hair that stuck out in all angles and had lost one of his front teeth in a wake boarding accident when he was 17. He must now be 70ish and se still hadn't had it fixed. He used to be the bartender back in my high school days and always 'forgot' to ID is when we bought alcohol. Although this seems irresponsible, he would always keep an eye on us and stopped us if we got to rowdy. "Oi, oi, Niks. who is this lovely lady?" John asked with a wink. Kacey blushed, gripping my hand tighter and cowering into me slightly. "Hey, John, this is Kacey. We were wondering if you had a table going free, perhaps the usual." He grinned and nodded, leading us to the normal table, away from most of the restaurant. It had a beautiful view of the park next door and I loved sitting there, people watching. "Well, I'll leave you to it, you know what to do, Nikki" He said rushing off to greet customers coming through the door. "I'm guessing that this is your local." Kacey said, looking down at the menu. Her eyes lit up when she was the food. "Nik, you can't spend this much on me!" She exclaimed. I laughed. "Don't worry its free." I told her. She frowned, looking down at the menu. "Cheap skate..." She mumbled under her breath. I laughed again, shaking my head. "Nikki?" I heard. I turned around in my chair to see the person bouncing towards me.
"Hi Mum." I replied sighing.
