eight.

(still june 11)

Sidney walked Kay to her car. He leaned up against it, and so did Kay. They were still smiling at each other.
"Soo.. i really wanna do something with you this week" Kay spoke up.
"your dad pretty much hates me. I don't think he'd like that very much."
"my dad's just going to have to get used to it. He'll come around eventually."
Sid's face lit up. "ok"
Kay stood there waiting for something to happen. She was hoping he would kiss her or maybe ask her out, but he just stood there with that goofy smile on his face. She finally gave up and opened her car door, getting into the car and starting it. Sid leaned against the open door.
"Kay?"
"hmm?"
"you wanna go out this Friday night?" He asked with a huge grin.
FINALLY.
"i thought you'd never ask" Kay said as she buckled her seat belt.
"I know" Sid replied, shutting the door and walking to the car he drove.

That night, Kay went home and had a long talk with her parents. She told them she was going to see Sidney on Friday night and they would have to deal with it. For once, she was actually speaking her mind and it felt great. Kay's dad was ignoring her but that was the last thing that was on her mind. She knew that he couldn't stay mad forever. Her and Sidney texted each other everyday until it was finally friday.


June 15, 2005

Do you know what today is? Kay texted Sid as soon as she woke up
Friday. Sid replied. He was still wrapped in a towel fresh out of the shower.
good one! She said
Of course i know what today is!
Kay smiled, :)
With that, she got out of bed and got a shower. Afterward, she put some sweats on and did practically nothing for the rest of the day. She was on and off the computer, sat on the porch for a little while, made brownies, and she was anxious.
6:00 rolled around and she figured she'd better start getting ready, so she climbed the stairs to her room once more. Sid texted her as if right on Q.
I'll pick you up at 8
What should i wear? she asked. just jeans and a tee shirt
She thought about what to wear, then pulled out a pair of her favorite jeans and her favorite tee shirt. It was a plain green tee shirt, but it looked good on her. She straightened her hair and put on some makeup before putting on some of her favorite fragrance, slipping on her white tennis shoes, brushing her teeth, and heading downstairs. She sat on the stairs impatiently waiting for Sid. When he finally pulled into the driveway in the Mercedes, a smile grew on her face. She wasn't expecting it, but Sid got out of the car, approached the door, and knocked. She opened it right away.
"hey" she smiled
"you look nice"
"thanks" wow this guy's too good to be true.
Sid presented his hand and she took it. They walked over to the car; he opened the door for her of course.
"Can i know where we're going now?" Kay asked
"McDonalds" Sid said mischievously as he gripped the steering wheel. Kay just laughed. She noticed they were going up hills and the road was winding upward. She couldn't figure out where he could possibly be taking her, though. By now, the sun had set and it was getting dark.
They drove for another 15 minutes until they finally reached their destination. Kay's mouth dropped when she saw it and she immediately got out of the car when it was stopped. She put her hands on her hips and looked out over the hill at the city. It was breathe taking- she didn't know what to say. Sid got out of the car, leaving the music playing and the doors open so they could hear it.
"Wow.. How did you find this place?" she asked. Sid climbed onto the hood of the car, and Kay joined him. She sat cross legged next to him.
"Mario gave me a tour of the city when i first got here and he showed me it. It's awesome."
"yeah this is amazing"
"glad you like it" he smiled, still looking at Kay's expression of awe as she looked out over the city. He let her enjoy the view, then she snapped out of it and turned to see Sid staring at her.
"What?" she asked with a grin. Sid leaned back on the windshield.
"..Nothing." He chuckled. Kay did just as he did, and leaned back. She folded her hands across her stomach. The song "trust" by keyshia cole started playing on the radio. The two lay there looking up at the night sky.
"Look" Kay pointed "i think i see a hockey stick" she laughed
"i think you might be right!" Sid said, humoring her comment while he squinted to see the so called hockey stick.
"I wonder what's up there. I mean, where does it go? it can't go on forever" Kay studied. Sid let out a small laugh.
"you're asking the wrong person, i just play hockey"
"oh come on. you're smart" Kay turned onto her side and Sid just looked at her.
"eh.. i'm ok. But speaking of smart people... when do you start school?" he asked.
"august"
"oh. cool. what's your major?"
"Communications" Sid nodded his head and licked his lips, which drove Kay crazy. "Lets play a game" she suggested, and Sid also turned onto his side to face her.
"ok.. what game?"
"20 questions"
"K. You go first though" Sidney listened intently for Kay's question. She tapped her finger on her lips as she thought.
"What's your favorite movie?"
"wedding crashers" he smiled
"hm. never seen it."
"what?! you havn't lived. we're watching it." Kay laughed at Sid's excitement and he laughed. "ok my turn. Whats your favorite hobby?"
"i like running. I ran track in high school." Kay answered.
"Oh i never knew that. you should run with me." Sid offered.
"i don't know... i haven't ran that much this summer."
"well it's never too late to start" He said, obviously trying to convince her. She heard the song on the radio change to "so into you" by fabulous; it was one of her all time favorites.
"maybe... but right now it's my turn. what do you like to do? besides hockey"
"I like fishing." Kay was about to say something, but Sid continued. "and being with you of course."
"Aw how nice of you!" kay put her hand over her heart dramatically, then laughed, "Your turn.""
"Ok," Sid proped himself up higher on his elbow, "Can i kiss you now?" Kay just blushed and smiled her biggest smile.
"maybe" She said. Sid chuckled and leaned toward her til he was looking down at her with such intensity, it made Kay weak in the knees. He brushed the strand of hair out of her eyes, placed his hand on her cheek, and kissed her. It lasted only one minute, but she wished it could be like that forever. The whole night was so perfect; the perfect view, the music, and an alarmingly handsome guy by her side. It couldn't possibly get any better than this, or at least that's what she thought.
