Chapter 5
The next few days were mad busy at work and I got to see Nick a few times on cases, I was starting to really like him. I had 4 days off and I got all my unpacking done and joined a gym recommended to me by Nick as I had been there over 2 weeks and hadn't worked out once. On my 3rd day off I messaged Nick to see what he was up to. He called me straight away.
"hey Nick" I answered.
"hey Kat, you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm good, how's you?"
"good thank you, I'm not doing anything today if you wanted to do something?" he said.
"yeah I've finished unpacking and I don't know what to do with myself" I said.
"what were you thinking?" he asked.
"not sure I wanted to see the sights as I haven't really seen much of Vegas" I said.
"you wanna see the strip?" he asked.
"is that a really cheesy thing to do?" I asked
"not at all, well not if you haven't done it yet" he laughed, "you get fed up of it after you've been here awhile"
"you don't have to if you don't want to, I know I can be a bit boring" I said.
"don't be daft I enjoy spending time with you" he said. My heart fluttered when he said that.
" I like spending time with you too" I said smiling to myself.
"so say I'll pick you up in an hour?" he asked.
"yeah perfect I'll get ready now" I said.
"okay see you in an hour" he said.
I put the phone down and ran to the shower. I did my make up and my hair curly I couldn't decide on an outfit as I didn't know what I would doing. In the end I chose my high wasted white flared trousers with my black sweet heart neckline cropped top, with nude heels and my cropped denim jacket to make it a little more casual. I wore midi rings and my big hooped earrings and a gold necklace. I chose a nude and gold clutch bag that I put all what I needed in there. I buzzed Nick in and quickly sprayed my perfume and applied some nude matte lipstick. The door knocked and I opened it, Nick was in Jeans and a black shirt, with a brown belt and brown shoes he looked gorgeous. My heart fluttered.
"hey" I beamed.
"wow!" he said his face dropping.
"what?" I asked, suddenly feeling self conscious.
"you look so different" he said.
"in a bad way?" I asked.
"No you look really good, it's just I'm not used to seeing you outside of work, only in your pj's" he laughed.
"is it alright? I wasn't sure what to wear" I said.
"it's perfect" he smiled " you ready?"
"yeah" I smiled.
Nick took me to the Top of the world restaurant.
"Oh my God are you being serious?" I asked as we went up.
"yeah everyone's got to eat here at least once" he laughed.
We sat in a window seat and I looked out at the view, "this is amazing" I said grinning.
"glad you like it" he smiled.
"I'm being a total tourist aren't I?" I laughed.
"Just a little" he laughed.
I had an Iced tea while I chose from the menu, I had a chicken and baby kale salad with a honey spiced dressing, which was delicious. Nick had the steak which looked amazing I took lots of pics of the view. When it came to the bill, Nick snatched it out of my hand.
"hey it's my turn" I said.
"No chance" he laughed.
"this isn't fair you need to let me pay for something" I said.
"maybe one day" he winked.
After lunch we went to the Mob museum which Nick paid for again. It was so cool and I loved it "do you like it?" he asked.
"yeah it's amazing I love it" I said taking some pictures. We did the line up souvenir picture, that I paid for and I bought us both a souvenir coin and mug from the gift shop.
After the Mob museum we went to the National Atomic Testing museum which was also amazing "I'm such a nerd" I laughed.
"me too hence why I bought you here" Nick laughed.
After the Museum Nick asked me what I wanted to do as it wasn't quite dinner time, so we decided on miniature golf at the Rio. It was Kiss themed and I absolutely loved it, I was having the best time with Nick and he kicked my ass at golf.
We had dinner at Roxy's diner as according to Nick was a Vegas right of passage. It was a 1950's style diner where the staff sang and danced, it was wicked and I was having the time of my life. I had the bacon and cheddar burger which was impossible to eat in a lady like way.
After dinner we decided to go and play pool and have a beer.
"I've had a really good time today" I said.
"me too" Nick smiled.
"I'm so tired now though" I sighed.
"you wanna head home?" he asked.
"I should, but I don't want to" I said.
"what you mean?" he asked looking confused.
"well I'm really tired but I don't want the day to end" I said. I couldn't believe what I was saying and I had only had one beer.
"me either" he said pulling a sad face.
We headed back to my apartment and all of a sudden it felt awkward as we pulled up outside.
"when you back at work?" he asked turning the engine off and turning to me.
"not tomorrow night, the night after"
"yeah same here" he smiled "maybe I'll see you then?"
"hopefully" I said.
He smiled and bit his lip, from then on all I could do was stare at his lips. "will you be at the gym tomorrow?" I asked.
"yeah in the morning about 8:30 am" he said.
"okay cool" I said suddenly not knowing what else to say.
"shall I walk you to your door?" he asked.
"if you want to" I replied. He took the keys out ran round and opened the door for me. We walked up the path not saying anything, I kept looking at my feet and when I did look up I met Nicks gaze. I looked away quickly feeling myself blush. When we got to the door I searched or my keys in my bag, "so lets do this again" Nick said.
"yeah definitely" I said fishing my keys out eventually.
"like an official date, dinner at a nice place" he said.
"yeah I'd like that a lot" I smiled.
He inched closer to me and looked at my lips, "can I kiss you?" he whispered. I put my arm around his neck and kissed him. We were making out for awhile when I heard someone clear their throat. It was someone trying to get in the building, I got all embarrassed and moved out the way apologizing. When they got in Nick and I burst out laughing.
"I better go" he said.
"yeah and me" I smiled
We kissed again and then said our goodbyes. I was smiling all the way up to my apartment I was still smiling taking my make up off and when I got in bed. I had a text message as I was just dropping off to sleep, It was from Nick with a kissy face emoji. I fell asleep still smiling.
