Hahaha! Be careful what you Google...
Don't worry! You'll get to see their date ;)
Setting the table, Gabby made an extra spot for Remy. She was anticipating him to show up and she hoped that he did. She wanted to see him again. Hearing the sound of his motorcycle caused her to smile uncontrollably as she walked over and opened the front door to see her dad pull his truck up and Remy pull up beside the stairs. Walking down the stairs, Gabby smiled at her dad before giving him a hug.
"Hey daddy." She said, kissing his cheek.
"Hey." He replied. "How was work?"
"It was alright." She said before she turned to Remy. "Glad you made it."
He smiled down at her. "Yo' daddy promised hamburgers." He said as she walked up to him. "Sound good, no?"
"Mm hmm." Gabby said as she wanted to desperately to wrap her arms around him and kiss him. "I set the table."
"Good." David said. "Let's get in there and get these burgers going."
David walked past them and Gabby took Remy's hand and led him inside, before she let go and locked the door behind them. "Do you need any help?" She asked her dad as they followed him into the kitchen.
"You can get these fries going." He said, setting the frozen back on the counter. "I'll preheat the oven for you."
"Can I he'p wit' anyt'in'?" Remy asked.
"Nah. You did more than enough today." David said. "I'm surprised you haven't passed out from being tired."
Remy smirked. "Well, y' did wear m' ass out." He said, scratching an itch on his chest and seeing Gabby watch him before she went back to opening the bag of frozen French fries.
"So, dad." Gabby said, getting his attention. "Remy is going to take me to work tomorrow and Friday and I guess pick me up as well?"
"Sure." Remy shrugged.
"You don't have to do that." David said.
"Daddy." Gabby cut in. "I worry about you. You need all the rest you can get. Remy has no problems taking me."
"S'true." Remy said. "Don' mind."
David went back to making the patties. "If you want. Just know it isn't your responsibility." He said as he set the first patty down. "If you change your mind, let me know."
Gabby looked back at Remy to see him looking at her with that smirk on his face. God damn he was perfect and she was getting hot.
"Are you going to take her on your motorcycle?" David asked.
"Daddy, please." Gabby said, laying the frozen fries on the flat baking pan. "It's not far. Plus, Remy always gives me his helmet to wear. It'll be fine."
"I keep her safe, mon ami." Remy said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Have m' word."
"I'd actually love to learn how to drive a motorcycle." Gabby said with a smile as she looked at Remy again.
"Absolutely not." David said, shaking his head.
"Daddy, I'm ninteen." She said. "I can legally do what I want."
"Ey, yo' daddy say no, den dat de end o' it." Remy said, placing his hands in his front pockets.
"Thank you." David said as he started to place the patties on the cast iron skillet that was nice and hot on the stove. "I just don't want you getting hurt."
Making eye contact with Remy, she smiled when he winked at her. "So, what are you planning on wearing Friday?" Gabby asked.
"This I've gotta hear." David said, looking at Remy with a smirk.
"Heh." Remy chuckled. "Got m' a few ideas. Yo' daddy want m' buyin' some underwear, fo' one."
David laughed. "Hey, you've been great for business, but I don't need every customer knowing you go commando."
Gabby blushed as she looked at Remy. "Ey, it be easy no? Wake up and put yo' pants on. Walk out de door." He said.
"Ok, we're not talking about this anymore." David said chuckling.
Once the burgers were ready, they sat down and ate them, making small talk until they were done. Remy offered to help clean up, but David insisted he just relax. So, Remy excused himself and went out on the front porch for a smoke. Lighting up the cigarette with the tip of his finger, he huffed until the embers were burning bright. Filling his lungs slowly, he heard the front door open as he exhaled the smoke, letting it creep out.
"Hey." He looked over his shoulder to see Gabby smiling sweetly at him.
He couldn't help but smile back. "Hey." He repeated as she walked over and stood beside him.
"I kinda just want to tell my dad that we've made out already." She said, glancing up at him.
Taking in another drag, he released it. "Y' sure dat's somet'in' y' wanna do?" He asked, placing the cigarette in his mouth before he turned to her. "Yo' daddy be a smart man. Pretty sure he know we done somet'in' by now, no?"
"Yeah." Gabby said, looking over Remy's chest before her eyes settled on his lips and then up to his eyes. "So why should we pretend?"
Narrowing his gaze just a bit, he gave her a small smile. "Y' wanna tell 'im?" He asked, taking the cigarette from his mouth and tapping the end, causing the ashes to fall off and dance down to the dirt below.
"Yes and no?" Gabby said as she hugged herself, feeling the chill from the cold run through her body.
Stepping closer, he looked down into her eyes before he placed the cigarette back into his mouth. Placing his hands on her arms, he moved them up and down to cause warmth.
"Bes' get inside, chere. Don' wan' y' catchin' cold after wha' y' been t'rough." He said, noticing her move closer and press against his chest.
"I'll take the chance." Gabby said as she took in the sent of his cigarettes and cologne.
The front door opened and they looked to see David about to say something, but stopped. "Well." He said, a smile forming. "You two are cozy."
Gabby stepped back and tucked her hair behind her ears. "It's not what it looks like." She said.
"So...it doesn't look like you two are cuddling?" David asked with a smile. "Look, I'm not stupid. I know you two are attracted to each other. Hence the date coming up."
"Gonna be honest wit' y', mon ami." Remy said as he turned to David and put his hands up. "I kissed yo' daughter."
"Yeah, well that's not surprising." David said, looking at Gabby as Remy put his arm around her. "Judging by the way she's been acting around you."
"You're being really calm for finding all of this out." Gabby said, feeling Remy gently rub her arm, casing a warmth to form.
"Yeah, well," David began as he walked over and fiddled with the chair that was on the deck. "I happen to like Remy. I trust him."
"Merci." Remy said, nodding his head.
"And I was young once." David said as he looked at them. "I remember what it was like to be infatuated with someone."
They stood there in the cold for a moment before Gabby broke the silence. "Um, you were coming out here to say something?" She asked.
David lifted an eyebrow. "Huh?" He asked and then shook his head with a smile. "Oh, right. I was just coming out here to tell you two that I've got hot cocoa on the stove."
"Ooh!" Gabby said, looking up at Remy. "This is the best hot cocoa you'll ever have in your life."
Walking inside, they each got a mug and head into the living room. Remy sat on the couch and Gabby sat close beside him, resting her hand on his thigh.
David cleared his throat. "Hand." He said, looking at her sternly.
"Tck." She smacked her teeth as she took her hand from his thigh and held her mug with both hands.
Remy couldn't help but chuckle inwardly as he tasted the hot cocoa. "Mm!" He exclaimed.
"See?" Gabby asked with a smile. "Delicious, huh?"
"Oui." Remy said, looking at David. "Dis really good, homme."
"Glad you like it." David said with a smile.
"Told you in was the best." Gabby winked up at him as she took another sip. "My dad's own recipe."
Remy raised his eyebrows. "Dat's impressive." He said.
David shook his head. "Isn't that hard to make." He said as he looked at his watch. "It's time to get ready for bed."
They watched as David stood and head into the kitchen where he cleaned out his mug before heading back onto the living room. He stopped and looked at the two that sat on the couch.
"What?" Gabby asked.
"I don't want to be that dad, but I don't feel comfortable going to bed knowing you two are all alone in here." He said.
"Oh my god, dad." Gabby said, her face turning red.
Remy smirked as he stood up. "I'ma head back t' m' motel." He said as he watched Gabby stand.
"So, tomorrow morning?" She asked, looking up into his eyes.
"Oui." He said. "I be here."
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then." David said as he stood. "Don't be late."
Remy smiled at David's playful wink. "Sure try not t' be." He said as he walked to the front door. "G'night."
Heading out, he felt someone following him and he knew it was Gabby. Turning around, he watched as she shut the door and smiled sheepishly at him.
"I was hoping for a goodnight kiss." Gabby said, slightly gnawing on her bottom lip.
Remy smirked. "Where are m' manners?" He asked as he stepped closer to her and cupped her face. "G'night, chere."
When he placed his lips on hers, he had to keep from chuckling. Gabby literally turned to putty with the interaction. Breaking the kiss, he winked at her before he walked down the steps and mounted his bike. Revving the engine, he kicked the stand up before he head down the dirt road and toward his motel.
"Did he catch you two making out?" Gabby felt giddy as she talked to her best friend on the phone.
"No, but he might as well have." She answered her friend, walking over and looking out her window. "God, he's so beautiful."
Her friend laughed. "Come back down, Gabriella." Savannah said. "So this date Friday, you gonna give it to him?"
"What? No." Gabby blushed. "We're nowhere near anything like that. He's only been here for like a week."
"Uh huh." Her friend teased. "What if it leads to that? All the making out you two do, I'm sure if you're alone you'll end up fucking."
"Savannah, stop it." Gabby nervously chuckled. "It won't be anything like that. Trust me. He isn't like that."
"All men are the same, Gab." Savannah said. "They may be a gentlemen, but they're all thinking about sex."
"I know." Gabby said. "My dad has warned me numerous times. Hell, he didn't even let Remy stay tonight when he was going to bed. He didn't want us to be alone."
"Yep."
"Well, I'm going to head to bed. I've gotta get up early tomorrow." Gabby said as she walked over to her dresser. "Goodnight, Savannah."
"Good night!" She heard the click on the other end before she hung up her phone and sighed.
Heading out and into the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and washed her face before heading back into her room and turning the light out. Getting under the covers of her bed, she turned the lamp out on her night stand and lied down.
She couldn't wait until tomorrow and then Friday. God, Friday was making her nervous just thinking about it. Would they find their selves alone? Would they really have sex like Savannah predicted? Gabby shook her head and frowned. She wasn't that easy, then again she'd never had sex before. Hell, she admitted to Remy that if she had a boyfriend now, they'd probably be having sex.
"Great." Gabby said quietly to herself as she rolled on to her right side and looked at the window.
But she knew that wouldn't be the case. Not with him. He seemed to respect her and only took it a bit further if she let him. But, damn, it was hard to keep him in check when he had his hands and mouth all over her.
Damn. Thinking about it was making her hot.
Startling awake, Remy quickly rolled over and slammed the alarm clock off. Lying on his stomach for a few minutes, he closed his eyes and moaned groggily before he pushed himself up crawled out of bed. Walking over to the sink, he splashed the water on his face and let it ran down his chest, waking him up with the coldness as he reached for the towel and dried himself off.
He needed coffee. Stat.
Sleepily staggering over to his satchel, he pulled his worn jeans on and pulled a black shirt over his head. Pocketing his wallet, cigarettes and keys, he threw his biker jacket on before sitting and slipping on his boots. Throwing the covers over the bed, he head out and down the stairs where he mounted his bike and started up the engine. Rolling the bike back, he took off and head toward Gabby's house.
Rolling up to the trailer, he saw Gabby sitting on the steps just outside of the front door. He knew he wasn't late, so why the hell was she sitting out here in the cold? Hopping up, she head toward him with a smile.
"Wha' y' doin' out here in de cold, girl?" He asked, watching as she climbed on the back of his bike.
"I just now came outside." She said, taking the helmet from him and putting it on.
"Y' ready?" He asked, looking over his shoulder.
"Yep. Let's go." She said, wrapping her arms around his torso.
Taking off down the road, he felt her lean closely against his back and tighten her grip around his torso. When they arrived at her workplace, he killed the engine and waited until she got off the back and took the helmet off.
"Thanks for the ride." She said, holding the helmet out for him to take.
Giving her a smirk, Remy reached out and placed his hand on her wrist and gently pulled her closer to him. "Any time." He said, pulling her in closer and cupping her face as he gently planted a kiss on her lips.
"Come on Gabby!" They pulled apart, seeing her boss holding the door open for her.
"Sorry." She said, quickly planting a kiss on Remy's cheek. "I'll see you later."
"Two o'clock, right?" Remy asked as he watched her walk toward the entrance.
"Yep!" Gabby said, waving to him before she walked inside with her boss.
Placing the helmet on his head, he revved up the engine and head to the diner. He was surprised when he saw it closed, so he head back to his motel and crashed for a few hours before getting up and heading back down to the café. Parking his bike, he hung the helmet from the handle as he walked inside. Making eye contact with Gabby, he smiled when her cheeks turned slightly pink as she turned her attention back to the man she was helping.
"Ah, Gabby's boyfriend." Remy looked behind him to see the manager smiling. "I was surprised when I saw you two kissing this morning. I had no idea she was dating anyone."
"Dis kinda happen fast." Remy said.
"She's a good young lady." Her manager said. "Don't you go breaking her heart."
"Never." Remy said as he noticed the man in front of him leave, so he walked up to Gabby's register. "How de mornin' treatin' y'?"
"It's been good." She said, smiling up at him. "Better now."
He smirked at her. "Take a guess at wha' I want." He said.
"Large coffee?" She asked, placing the cup on the counter in front of him. "Anything to eat?"
"Eh," Remy thought as he looked over the bagels. "Surprise me wit' a bagel."
"Alright." Gabby said as she rang it up.
After giving her the money, Remy prepared his coffee before he walked over and waited for his bagel to finish toasting. Taking a sip of the bold flavor in his cup, it instantly warmed him up from the cold outside that seeped down to his bones.
"Here you go, Remy." Gabby said, snapping him out of his trance.
"Merci." He said, grabbing the bag.
"Wait." Gabby said as she ran around the counter and planted a peck on his lips. "Have a good day. I'll see you at two."
He winked at her before he head out and mounted his bike, heading straight for the garage. When he arrived, he walked over and sat down with his back against the garage door and prepared his bagel. He smiled when he noticed Gabby packed him an extra one. Tearing the bagel in half, Remy dipped the end of it in the cream cheese before taking a bite. The sun was just coming up over the trees and the air was calm and crisp. It was a beautiful morning and he was early.
Finishing his breakfast, he sipped on his coffee for a bit before lighting up a cigarette and getting a smoke in before David arrived. Snuffing the last of his cigarette in the dirt, he heard David's truck in the distance so he stood and waited for him to arrive.
"When did you two start dating?" Gabby smiled at her coworker's question.
"Technically, we haven't?" Gabby asked. "Our first date is tomorrow night."
"But you're already kissing?" Her coworker asked. "Damn. What else have you two been doing?"
Gabby lightly chuckled. "Nothing." She said.
"Bullshit." Her coworker laughed as they cleaned off the counters. "Look at him. Fuck."
Gabby let out a laugh this time. "Stop." She said. "Look, I have no clue as to why he's so into me. I'm boring. I'm ugly. Hell, I could lose a few pounds and he's basically a god."
"You shut your God damn mouth." Her coworker said. "You're drop dead gorgeous and you're amazing. That's why he's into you."
Gabby couldn't help but smile at her coworker's compliments. "I don't know." She shrugged as she stopped cleaning the counter and looked at her associate.
"Speak of the devil." Her coworker said as she jut her jaw toward the doors.
Looking behind her, Gabby saw Remy walk in and take his sunglasses off as he scanned the room for her. "Shit, is it two already?" Gabby asked as she threw the towel in the sani bucket and checked the clock. "Time for me to go."
"Have fun." Gabby rolled her eyes at the comment as she clocked out and went to the back to get her things.
As she returned to the front, she saw Remy sitting at one of the tall tables waiting for her. She couldn't help but look him over from head to toe before she saw his eyes cut over to her. She smiled when she saw him notice her and step down from the chair.
"Y' ready t' go?" He asked.
"Yep." Gabby said, turning and waving to her coworker. "See you tomorrow!"
Getting on the bike, they head to her house and walked inside. "Mind if I grab a drink?" Remy asked.
"Not at all." Gabby said, letting her hair down from the bun she had it in all day before she disappeared down the hall.
Listening, he heard her coming back down the hall and saw her walk around to where he was in the kitchen. "Guess I should head back." He said, softly.
Pursing her lips together, Gabby looked down at his left hand and took it in her's. "Wish you could stay for just a little bit." She said, looking up at him and giving him a sultry look.
"Chere, y' know I can' stay. Yo' daddy kick m' ass." He joked, making her chuckle as she moved in and placed her hand on his chest.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow." Gabby said, tip toeing and kissing him sweetly. "Can't wait for our date."
"Same." He said, pulling away and heading for the door. "See y' t'morrow."
The rest of the day seemed to last forever, but soon it was time for bed. Gabby could hardly wait for tomorrow and she couldn't sleep. It was soon time for her to get ready for work. When she did, Remy arrived and took her to her job before leaving and returning in a couple of hours. The rest of the day crept along and it was killing Gabby. She wanted to be done with work so she could go on her date. Two finally rolled around and she clocked out just in time for Remy to pull up to get her. Hopping on his bike, he took her home and head back to work. Gabby couldn't wait and started to get ready, even though it would be several more hours until he would return for her. Still, she wanted to look sexy for him so she opened her closest and looked for a certain dress.
A/N: Up next - the date!
