When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other

The theatre

You finally pop on your suit jacket, the final part of your getting ready, you take a look in the mirror & are quite impressed with how your whole look turned out, just as you finish tweaking everything you phone alarm sounds it's 4:30, enough time to run down next door to grab a bottle of wine & have it sent up to your room before you go to the car to take you.

You handed the bottles to reception, yes bottles, it was two for the price of one how could you not!
They kindly said they will take them up to your room & put them in the refrigerator.

4:45pm, You reach the corridor to the back door & you hear a man cough, as you turn you see it's your drivers friend from last night
"Hi"
You say happily with a wave

"Hello miss, wow you look fantastic & excellent timing, we can leave early, how are you?"
He says as you approach, opening the door to outside for you

"Oh thank you so much! Y/N is fine miss sounds too offical, sounds great, I'm doing amazing how are you?"
You reply

"Y/N I am very well"
He says as he walks ahead to open the car door for you

"Oh thank you so much"
You say as you quickly look back at him whilst trying to get into the car smoothly, you've never been very graceful 😅

"Not a worry"
He says with a smile shutting the door

"Well look at you"
That voice. You look up once you have finally sat in the car. It's Cate with a chuffed smile on her face, handbag in her lap & a bag by her feet.

Jesus!

"Oh god, you would have seen that clumsy attempt at getting into the car. I'm glad it was a surprise you were in the here or I think I would have fallen on my face"
You say with a nervous laugh

She chuckles
"I'm more like you than you think darling"
She says, you can't help but notice her tone sounds like she's hinting at more than one thing

You scoff friendly, smiling at her

"Good to go Mrs?"
The driver asks

"Yeah"
You both say in sync

"Sorry"
You say

I should have let her answer in case she wasn't ready.
you're so not prepared for this at all...

"For what, I liked that"
She says with a comforting tone as the car begins to move

You look out the window, not sure where to look. You want to just look at the beautiful woman beside you but you don't want to be weird.

You feel her eyes on you but are to nervous to look, what would you say.

You feel her hand touch yours, you wonder if this is an accident

"Y/N"
She says & you look at her
"Are you ok?"
She asks with a kind grin

"I'm sorry, yeah im incredible I'm just so damn nervous"
You say

"Enough of this sorry business!"
She says playfully as she places her hand further onto yours
"I'm so glad you're here, I really like you & you really made last night special & actually enjoyable, don't be nervous sweetheart"
She says so warmly with a smile

"Well in that case, I got the wine! It was two for the price of one so I couldn't resist!"
You say with a laugh, her eyes smiling back at you
"But truly I'm glad too & you already know I really like you!"
You add

"Well that either means a bottle each or a bottle for us tomorrow too!"
She says playfully

She wants to see you tomorrow too :,)
