The Woman Behind Them Shoes

4.

They'd been sat there talking for 2 hours now. About their childhood, and their lives now. Cal finally looked at the clock and realised it was getting late. He stood up from the couch they were sat on and took Connie's hand to pull her up to.
"Where are we going?" She asked him curiously.
"I'm taking you out on a proper date." He replied, his grin as large as the Cheshire Cats.
They sneaked out of the office, hoping not to get caught leaving together. They didn't have much of a problem as most of the staff they worked with had gone home since the shift ended a while ago. Luckily, Cal had walked into work today so they both jumped into Connie's car.
He gave her directions to the place they needed to go. By the end of it they were sat facing a supermarket.
"Oh, so I've heard of this place, yeah, meant to be the most romantic spot in town!" Connie said sarcastically.
"I just have to go and get some things to make this the perfect night. I'll be 10 minutes at the most!" Cal replied, as her suspicions grew.

True to his word ten minutes later he arrived back at the car holding various sizes of shopping bags.
"Right on time Dr Knight, unlike normal." She commented, winking as he placed the shopping on the back seat of the car. "Where to now?" She asked him.
He gave her directions and about a hour later they arrived at the beach. They carried the shopping bags to the sand and started unloading it. He'd bought a small beach tent, sleeping bags, pillows and enough food to last the night.
"We're going to watch the stars." He said simply, as if the whole date was just an ordinary one. A smile spread across Connie's face but then suddenly dropped.
"Although this is amazing and so thoughtful," she started, "there are two problems, 1, were both working tomorrow and 2, I'm stood here in my work clothes and high heels."
A smug look grew over Cal's face as if he knew that it was coming.
"Well, my darling, 1 I booked the days off and Zoe said she'd happily cover you if it means you get some time for yourself and 2, what did you think was in this bag?" He asked, holding a final shopping bag up. As Connie peered inside there was a bikini, and some shorts and t-shirts.
"I just got what I thought would fit, if it doesn't you can always wear my t-shirt, I already have spares in my bag." He added.
"You really have thought of everything haven't you, thank you."
As they built the tent and lay the sleeping bags out, they both teased each other. Cal realised that he'd never seen her smile this much in such a small space of time. They sat down just in time to watch the sun set. Leaned on each other they watched to starts begin to appear then drifted off to sleep, still holding each other peacefully.
