ten.

June 23, 2005

Kay opened her eyes and rolled over to check the clock. "11:00 am". She let out a loud groan, then noticed Sid passed out on the floor. "so much for not drinking" He was in his boxers with his face smooshed against the pillow. She lay there for a while, then sat up. Sid heard her and opened his eyes, looking up at Kay.
"how's the floor treatin' ya?" kay asked
"amazing" Sid said sarcastically, and Kay scootched over, patting the open space on the bed. Sid smiled and got up to sit on the bed.
"i feel like crap" Kay groaned and held her forehead.
"yeah you were pretty beat up last night. i almost had to take advantage of you." Sid said jokingly. Kay playfully pushed him off the bed. "i was kidding!" he laughed. Kay grabbed her dress off the end of the bed, pulled it over her head and got up.
"we better go, i need an Advil and you have important stuff to do" she stated, picking up her shoes and checking herself in the mirror. Sid got up and pulled his pants on along with his shirt. The two went downstairs to find numerous people on the living room floor. They just stepped over them, and Sid grabbed the keys out of the jar labeled "you're not driving", on their way out the door.
On the ride home, Kay and Sid talked about the night before, and Sid elaborated on how Kay said his lips were nice, he was hot, and how she was aggressively coming on to him- something she definitely would not do while sober. They couldn't stop laughing. "it was the alcohol talking, i swear." Kay laughed.
Sid dropped Kay off at her house. The two didn't share a kiss this time, though. Kay didn't worry about it. When Sid got home, he explained to Nathalie why he stayed and Nathalie completely understood. However, they opted not to tell Mario. Sid decided today could be an off day; he didn't work out or skate. Instead, he took nice long shower, then a nap. Kay did the same thing.
He woke up around 2 in the afternoon and texted Kay.
"how you feeling?"
"good now that i took a nap"
"thats good :) wanna go out tonight?"
"of course i want to go out if you're up to it"
"dinner?"
"sounds perfect :)"
"alright, i'll pick you up at 6."
"can't wait"

5:00. Once again, it was time for Kay to pick something stunning to wear. First, she informed her parents of her plans and they both nodded knowing it would be a waste of time to say anything else. Then, she called Sid and held the phone to her ear with her shoulder as she rooted through her closet.
"Hey" he answered.
"Sid" she said when he picked up.
"yes?" he was smiling on the other line, thinking what could she possibly want now.
"what do i have to wear?"
"something nice.. kinda dressy. but you always look nice so no worries."
Kay laughed, "ok then. see you at 6." She hung up the phone and tugged a dress from the back of the closet. It was a gray cocktail dress, and she knew Sid would like it. After admiring her selection, she crouched down to the ground to look for some shoes. She picked up a pair of gray ones that would go perfect with the dress. Next, she put on makeup, and it was a tiny bit darker than the night before but not too much; she had a feeling Sid didn't like girls that looked fake. After her makeup, she curled her hair into spiral curls and went downstairs to say goodbye to Leland and her parents who were at the dinner table. She kissed her mom and dad on the cheek- her dad was becoming less bitter about the whole situation. She gave Leland a hug, and heard the door bell. When she opened the door, Sidney stood there trying not to stare. He was about to say something, but he saw Kay's family sitting at the dinner table. He waved and smiled. Kay took Sid's hand and closed the door behind her.
"Is it me or do you look better every time i see you." Sid stated.
"mm.. i think its just you" Kay answered, getting into the car as Sidney opened the door for her. She examined him. He had on black dress pants, dress shoes, and a white dress shirt with vertical strips going down it."where to?" she asked.
"I'm taking you to one of my favorite restaurants." Sid replied as he backed out of the driveway.
"and you're not gonna tell me which it is." kay laughed, she knew how he was.
"nope" he smiled. Kay changed the subject.
"so i was thinking.. I have known you for almost a month now" she declared. It was june 23 now.
"yeah you're right." Sid looked at her and gave her a smile of satisfaction. She could tell he was thinking of something by the look in his eyes.
They arrived at the restaurant 25 minutes later, and it was Mortons. Kay had never been there but Sid said it was one of his favorites. He had already made the reservations and asked to be seated near the back, so when they walked in they were immediately seated. Sid pulled out Kay's chair then sat down in his own.
"thanks for taking care of me last night" Kay said as she looked at the menu. Sidney smiled, trying not to laugh.
"no problem"
"i don't know how I'm going to survive in college." She chuckled.
".. me either" Sid laughed. He couldn't help it. He saw the anxiousness in Kay's face. "you'll be fine." The waiter came over to take their drink orders. Kay got a strawberry lemonade and Sid got a water. They continued to look at their menus and chat until the waiter came around again to take their food orders. Sid ordered a steak, and to Sid's surprise, so did Kay. Every girl Sid had taken out would always get something really small or a salad, but besides her Irish side, Kay was also an Italian girl- she was raised that way. For some reason, Sid thought it was attractive, and he smiled.
"What?" Kay asked, confused.
"nothing" Sid said.

They ate their dinners which were absolutely delicious and Kay couldn't shut up about it.
"I told you it was good" Sid said
"i'll never doubt your judgment again" she smiled. Sid payed, and he walked behind Kay out of the restaurant to the car, once again opening the door for her. On the way home, Kay could tell there was something on Sid's mind. He kept looking out the window, adjusting his hands on the steering wheel, and licked his lips several times within the 25 minutes it took to get home. When he pulled into Kay's driveway, he got out, let Kay out, and walked her to the door. Kay opened the door to go inside when Sid stopped her.
"So my parents are coming to visit on Wednesday for week." he said. Kay closed the door.
"really?"
"yeah. I really want you to meet them"
"i'd love to" She smiled. Sid looked down and kicked a rock around.
"cool," he paused, "but um, i was wondering, you know, if i could introduce you as my girlfriend" he looked up and Kay tilted her head to the side, her smile growing wider.
"i'll gladly be your girlfriend, sid." Sidney eased up, looking into kay's eyes with a smile, and stepped closer to her. He kissed her goodnight, and they could both feel eachother smiling.
"i'll call you tomorrow" he said, his face still close to hers.
"ok., goodnight" she said as she stepped into her house, still looking at Sid. He stood there with his hands in his pockets and a toothy grin on his face. When she closed the door, she watched him through the window as he walked back to the car with a little hop in his step. "wow" was all she thought. Since when was luck on her side?
