Chapter 37
The Secret Date
Blue bed covers fell down from the bed. Scratching and turning, sweat rolled down his face. "No!" he screamed. He woke with a start. "Thank god, it was only a dream." Patton wiped away the sweat. "Patton!" called his mother. Patton stretched and yawned, he turned towards his ordinary calendar on his bedside table. His eyes grew big. Today was the 14th of June. Today was the day. Patton grabbed a pair of clean underwear and headed towards the toilet.
"Good morning. Your dad sends his love." smiled Patton's mother, her pink bunny slippers squeaked along the wooden floor. "Could he not tell me himself?" Patton asked with annoyance. "You know he can't sweetie. He's been called to a meeting. He wishes you luck and will Skype you later." His mother replied. Patton rolled his eyes. His father was always away with the army. Hopefully his dad put a good word in for him.
After a mouthful of toast and cereal, Patton kissed his mother goodbye and left towards a very special girl's house with red hair. (And it was not Merida)
Tapping could be heard on a window. Fanny yawned and strolled over to the window. Her hair matted, her pajamas hanging off her shoulders. She drew back the curtains to the shining sun. She was not in the mood. "What is it!" she shouted as she opened the window. "Oh thanks, I'll just leave then." began Patton as he dropped the pebbles he was holding. Fanny quickly combed her hair with her fingers. "Patton." she said softly. She smiled from ear to ear. "You said you would see me tonight." she said in an almost whisper. "Well I wanted to see you before I went to my exams." He grinned. She grinned too. "Give me a minute." She said as she stared at her messy room. However Patton was already at the door, her mother answered. "Hello Patton." She smiled. Patton gave her a small hug. He quickly ran upstairs towards his beloved girlfriend's room. She was busy throwing dirty washing into the laundry basket. The boy, full of hormones, walked up behind her. He gently kissed her neck. "I love your nightwear." He whispered. She was wearing a pair of green striped shorts that sat underneath her bottom accompanied with a white top, however no bra. "Patton." Fanny blushed heavily. "You're lucky I never kicked your butt for sneaking up on me." She turned to face him. He pulled her closer to his body. "Who says I wouldn't mind that. Some S and M." he winked. She giggled but with more blushing. She kissed him softly on his cheek. He returned the favor by grabbing her bottom with two hands and pulling her up. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. Intimate kissing began and they were off towards the bed.
"ATTENTION!" shouted a man with a long and curled moustache. Patton jumped into line. His shoulders were back and strong. His green shirt made him look very neat and muscular since it was tucked into his trousers. "You will be undergoing examinations and at three o'clock there will be an exam. Good luck everyone. That is all." Shouted the man who was probably death from his own voice. A doctor with white gloves and a white lab coat with a clipboard stood beside the general. Patton gulped as a queue formed, he was second to last.
After the long patient wait in the queue to be examined, outside training course and one hour exam, Patton was ready to go to bed. He yawned as he walked towards the bus station, since his car was out-of-service for a week.
As the bus beeped, Patton waved at the Bus-driver who was a family friend, and Patton jogged a little towards his house. He couldn't wait for his mother's stew.
The door banged and Patton strolled in. His mother smiled. "Go wash up, your dinner is in the oven." She kissed his forehead. Her face screwed up, his sweat must had entered her mouth. He chuckled as he made his way towards the bathroom. Sweat and smell was starting to form from his body, luckily he wasn't meeting Fanny until later on, so he has more time to get ready for her.
"You belong with me. I belong with you." Sang Fanny. Her singing sounded a lot like a cat. A cat getting run over. Fanny was brushing her hair. Her hair has always and will always be tangled. She placed a green clasp into her hair, she stared into the mirror. "Nope." She said while pulling the clasp out of her hair, a few strands went with it. She placed a black hairband on instead. A knock could be heard and she jumped. Her outfit matched her mood, cheerful and excited. She was wearing a light orange top with a dangly necklace with a black skirt. She was wearing the bracelet Patton had got her for her eighteenth birthday. The bracelet had a small crystal heart with the words 'always' on it. She softly touched it with her index finger. "Francine!" called her father, he sounded displeased. "Patty's here." He called while shutting the living room door. "Patton." Patton corrected him, however he did not hear him. "Hey, sorry about my dad." Fanny said. Patton stared to the top of the stairs. His mouth dropped even with just casual clothes on, Fanny was stunning. "Shall-.." he let out a cough. "Shall we head to the Cinemas?" he asked while holding out his arm. Fanny descended from the steps and linked her arm with his.
The week passed quickly and the weather was not getting any colder. A loud bang echoed throughout the house. The front door had been shut. "Honey!" called Patton's mother. She gave her husband a long kiss on the lips. "Dad." Smiled Patton. He hadn't seen his father since a two days ago. "You got in." he said. Patton smiled and jumped into the air. He did a small dance in the hallway. "However it's for cook. You will have to train upwards." His father said disappointingly. Patton stopped. A cook… Patton shrugged it off either way. "I'm still getting training?" he asked quickly. His father nodded. "Then I don't care." He grinned. He had to prepare for so much, he will have to surprise Fanny with a 'small' date. He put on his shoes and grabbed his wallet and sprinted outside. Today will surely be a good day. He had to plan the best surprise and secret date ever.
Throwing up noises could be heard from the toilet. Fanny clutched her stomach. She threw up yet again. She pulled a piece of toilet paper to mop up her face. What did she eat? Was it the chicken last night? Or was it… Fanny's eyes grew large. Surely it can't be… It can't be.. Trevor?... Fanny sat up against the toilet. She softly rubbed her belly. She felt a warm feeling rising up. She smiled. She knew. She knew it was him. She slowly walked over to her bedroom. Her black phone beeped. She pulled it towards her. See you tonight, beautiful. xxxxxx, the text read. Fanny's heart skipped a beat. How was she going to tell him?...
A loud beep sounded. Patton pulled up in his fully serviced car. Fanny jumped out in a black dress with her favourite necklace; a golden swallow which was a size of a coin. Patton opened the car door for her, like a gentleman. She blushed lightly. His car smelt like him and air freshener. Fanny waved at her parents who were spying on her at the window.
There was a slight breeze that night. As the moon began to roll up and the sun descended, it was truly beautiful. Like Fanny. Patton smoothly parked the car near the French restaurant they were about to eat at. "This is…." began Fanny as shock got to her. It was one of the fanciest restaurants in town. She knew it was their two year anniversary but this was something else. Patton kissed Fanny's hand. "Only for my gal." he said with an accent. Fanny rolled her eyes. "Stoopid boy." She said but she smiled. The dolled up girl and well-dressed boy got out of the car. They headed towards the fancy restaurant that awaited them.
"Two specials but one with peas instead of carrots please." Smiled Patton as he gave the waiter their orders and menus. "Patton, you shouldn't have. This is going to cost you." Fanny whispered. Patton clasped Fanny's hands within his. "I told you. Anything for my girl. My beautiful girl." He smiled. She blushed. Her earring dangled as she placed her head to one side. She truly looked beautiful. "I can't wait to try this special venison." Smiled Fanny. She had never tried deer before, might as well live her life. "Fanny, I have a great news." Grinned Patton. Me too, thought Fanny. "I got into the Army program, I'll be a cook but they will give me training. I'm leaving in next week." Said the excited boy. Fanny's heart beat out of her chest. She couldn't tell him. Not now. She couldn't ruin his dream. "Patton.." began Fanny but her throat choked up. Patton was directly staring into her eyes and mind. She cleared her throat. "It's amazing." Tears sprung to her eyes. "Its' ok Fanny. It's not forever." He smiled. He brushed his hand down her cheek. "I love you Patton." Fanny whispered as tears dropped down her face. He learnt over and gave her a kiss over the table. As soon as the tears stopped flowing their meal came.
A month flew by and Patton had settled nicely within his job. Fanny however was being sick every morning. "Mum." Cried Fanny. She was throwing up yet again. "It's ok honey." Her mother patted her back. "Wait until I get my hands on him." Said Mr Boss with a cigar in his mouth. His wife pulled the cigar out. "The doctor said-…" she began. "I know what the doctor said." He replied. He re-lit it. Mrs Fulbright shook her head. "I need to tell him tonight." Fanny said. Her mother nodded her head. Her father tapped his foot. "You're far too young." Her father said. Fanny already had this lecture. She stood up from the floor and headed towards her laptop. She gulped and turned on the system. The laptop's logo popped up and within minutes Fanny clicked on skype. She clicked on Patton's name.
"Hey honey." Smiled Patton. His hair had been shaven but he still rocked the look either way. He was sitting in his room on a submarine which was were his Navy and Army training was stationed. It looked dull and cramped. Fanny gulped. "Patton… I'm pregnant." Fanny said. Patton stared at the screen until his wooden chair creaked. Patton's seat rolled back and so did he. A loud crash was heard. He had fainted. Fanny winced. He was going to come home this weekend, for sure.
