Never Let Go (Of Me) • Ferran Torres

Chapter 48: The First Date

🎶 Celestial — Ed Sheeran 🎶

It was Ferran's first day back at training today, but our date was planned for later, after I'd get off from work. He had told me to dress casual, so I had just put on some jeans and a turtleneck - just because it hugged my body and put my breasts on nice display.

"Now you look happy! Had a nice holiday?" my co-worker Emma asked me as she walked up to me with a box of new merch to unpack.
"Yeah, it started off badly but it turned out to be alright" I chuckled. "And... I have a date later on" I added, biting my lip.
"No way! With whoooo? I mean, he must be quite the hunk if he follows in Alcaraz' footsteps!" she giggled.
"Oh... It's the guy I once told you about, the one I was seeing before Carlos. I guess... it always circles back to him" I mumbled.

"Oh! I do hope it works out then! What are you guys doing?" she asked curiously.
"He didn't want to tell me, said it was a surprise" I replied.
"So it could turn out to be the coolest date ever or the worst" she chuckled and I joined in the laugh.
"Yeah, you pretty much nailed it" I chuckled and we started to unpack the box and put the items in it on display.

The day seemed to drag on forever, probably because I was dying of anticipation for later. Shortly before the end of my shift, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and quickly pulled it out to check on it.

Waiting for the last few mins to roll around 🫠

I sold one more Gavi jersey before finishing my shift and I was never as quick as today to leave. In fact, I basically sprinted out of the store and around the two corners to get to Ferran's usual parking spot, which was in the middle of a loading area, so at this time of the day, there wasn't too much going on.
"Hi" I squeaked as I sat down on the passenger seat. Ferran leaned in and I gave him a quick kiss, holding his cheek with my right hand. I swiped my tongue across his lips and he opened his mouth for a French kiss, that got quite intense.

"Sure you just don't want to head to my place?" I whispered as our lips were still touching and I felt him smiling.
"Mhm... Let's see how the evening goes. I've planned too much to miss out on all that now" he chuckled and pressed one more kiss onto my lips before starting the engine and driving away from his parking spot. We drove around the city, catching up on our respective days, until we arrived at a place where Indoor Karting Barcelona was written in huge letters on its facade.

"No way" I gasped as my jaw fell in amusement.
"Way way" he replied, a proud smile on his face.
"I'll butter you" I giggled and quickly got out of the car. He took my hand and we walked inside together, up to the reception.
"Hola, I booked a slot and a track for two people under Torres" he said to the girl behind the desk as she checked her computer.
"Ah yes! Please follow me" she replied friendly and we did as she said, arriving into a huge hall.

"This is Nick, your instructor for today. Have fun and enjoy!" the girl said as she introduced us to a guy.
"Alright! First of all hello!" this Nick guy said and flashed us a smile that made me think that he was on drugs.
"Hi" Ferran and I mumbled back.
"Ok! I'm excited! Are you?" he now shouted at us and I snorted out a laugh while Ferran's face was practically blank.

"Yeah..." he mumbled back as I buried my head behind his arm to not show this poor guy that I was laughing in his face.
"Yay! Have you been karting before?" Nick asked ecstatically.
"I have" Ferran replied.
"I haven't" I said and Nick nodded.
"Ok gurl! I will explain the kart to you later then! For now, I'd ask you two sexy people to put on your racing suits and then we'll find the right helmets for your beautiful heads, surely filled with Einstein brains!" Nick exclaimed and clapped his hands before handing us over two racing suits that we put on while exchanging weird, but fun glances.
