RESCUE - Part 2

Chapter 14 - A Four?!

We were sat in the back of whip's car, I was laid in the back, I looked at mouse who was sipping a coffee "what?" He looked at me "On a scale of one to ten, how scared were you that I was gonna die?" I leant on my palms "nine....no...eight!" Whip stated as he smiled at me "Four." Mouse stated plainly, "four?!" I sat up straight "Yeah why?" "a four?." I folded my arms "Yeah." He looked at me "you were at least an eight!" "An eight?" He raised his eyebrow at me "You were a total eight!" "An eight, that nurse with the moustache...she were an eight" "are you kidding me?!" "No! those whiskers were terrifying!" I drank a bottle or orange juice that whip had fetched from the vending machine, "so then what's a ten?" "Planes." "Clowns" they both answered me, My mouth imitated a goldfish "Planes and clowns over my death?" "I hate flying" "I hate clowns so" "planes!" I shrieked "I hate flying" "oh my god you thought I was dead" "no..." "No you thought I was gone!" "No." "Yes you did I saw you shed tears" mouse shuffled in his chair "no I had you all along" "you shed a bunch of em" "tears?!" "Uh mm" "it was raining" "no it was not" "you were unconscious and it was raining" "we were indoors and you were bawling" "you were unconscious!" "ha whatever, I kept your tears in a jar, I have proof" we both sat there, and after a few minutes Mouse leant over "I'll give you a five how's that?" I tutted as I rolled my eyes and flopped back on the car seat. "Mouse..." "Yo?" "Let's move house" he spun around "what?!" "I want to move house..." He sighed heavily "let me see it" "what?" "The house you wanna move too I know you and I know full well that you will have found a house already...and it actually wouldn't surprise me if you'd already put a deposit down" "I haven't put a deposit down" "but?!" "I may have spoken to him..." "Right" "there's a viewing tomorrow" "show me the photos then!" I passed him my phone and then must've fallen asleep.

I woke up the next morning in my own bed, and it was about 11.30...id slept the whole time?! Lazy git...I walked downstairs carefully, with my dressing gown wrapped around me, I walked into the kitchen where there was an array of food on the table in the middle, mouse was on the phone, I'd just caught the end of the conversation "that's great, cheers pal!" He hung up the phone and waltzed over to me "Erm, I had a look through your grans old cook book...and with help from summer, we made some fresh cookies, scones and here's an eggs Benedict for you" he poured me an orange juice, as my stomach hurt when I sat down "here that's covered too!!" He handed me two extra power pain killers, "Thankyou..." I took them from him and swallowed them both "so...why you so happy then?" He sat down opposite me "I've bought the house!" I Choked on my egg "what...you...what?!" I tried to clear the yolk that had stuck to my throat, it was like hot lava! "The house you loved...I bought it you...us, I bought it, it's ready to move in when we're ready"  "mouse, that's...that's great!" I pulled him into a hug "let's go out tonight! Let's go celebrate" "Erm....sure..." "We can get dressed up and we can grab a taxi and we can both drink and...you okay?" I finished chuckling "yeah I'm fine, I'm just, I love it when you're like this" "like what?" He smiled nervously "just buzzing about something, all happy and cheery, I've missed it" I sipped the orange juice "yeah well, I thought from now on I'm gonna be the funny, adorable mouse you met" "adorable" "yeah I think I'm adorable...ANYWAY we have a table booked tonight at 8 so be ready!" "Well we'll be going together.." "Yeah I know but you take longer to get ready" he smirked as he kissed my cheek and walked into the living room.

It was 7.30, I'd picked out a pair of jeans and a nice top, my hair I'd put in a bun and my makeup was pretty minimal, it was too much effort and I was in a fair bit of pain to even think of getting dressed up, and the thought of wearing any sort of dress I just didn't feel girly anymore, as i stepped out summer stopped me "you are NOT wearing that" she looked at my outfit choice in disgust "I think I look okay?" "No mum, get your ass in their right now" she pushed me...carefully...back through the bedroom door and got to work.

Summer POV
I walked downstairs, dad was pacing "Where's your mum. We are going to be late?!?" "She's coming..." I smiled calmly at dad who's mouth suddenly dropped, mum walked down the stairs slowly and into the kitchen "wow...." "What?" She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear "you look...amazing" he walked toward her and went to take her hand, but she threw her arms around him instead "where's the dress come from? I've not seen that one before?" She chuckled slightly "it's summers.." It was a black dress, fitted, a bow on the front, thin straps and finished with a pair of leopard print heels, her hair was in large loose curls and her makeup, smokey with bright red lips, she looked killer "shall...shall we get going?" "Uh huh" she nodded quickly smiled and mouthed a Thankyou at me before walking out the door with dad.

My POV
Mouse had made the taxi drop me off at a bar, where I sat and had a cocktail, to say our table was at 8, it was now 8.15 he was the one late...I sighed heavily as I ordered another cocktail, mouse tapped me on my shoulder, I spun around "you're late" I raised an eyebrow "you're gorgeous" he smirked at me "you're forgiven" he looked at me "there's something missing" I looked down "well I can't fit much more into this dress I tell ya" "no...something in this box" he held up a blue velvet flat box, he opened it up, a beautiful diamond necklace sat there on the white silk, I ran my fingers over the crystals when he shut the lid quickly "JESUS!!" I jumped back as he burst into hysterics "sorry, here turn around" he fastened the clip behind my neck and pulled my hair over my back, "now come on!" "Where we going?" "It's a surprise" he smiled as he held up a blindfold "mouse Ive told you I'm not into fifty shades and with all the crap that's going on down there it's going to be fifty shades of nasty" "what....no Charlie it's so you can't see where we're going!" I looked at him "oh...go ahead, smudge my makeup summer will kill you" he tutted as he wrapped it over my eyes and tied it tight enough for it to not fall down.

We arrived at a dimly lit room, with only a few couples in, a piano in the corner playing away "wow" I gasped as I looked around "here take a seat" he smiled at me, I did so he sat opposite, he ordered the wine, ordered a starter and sat looking at me "you look like you want to say something?" "I do...don't be mad" "mouse?" He slid forward a piece of paper, I opened it up and inside was my very old bucket list "mouse?" "I found it, the other day and thought why not! I wanted to tick them off" "my film bucket list!?" "Look" he pointed to list...
1) Pretty Woman
2) My best friends wedding
3) The notebook
4) Sleepless in Seattle
5) Notting hill
6) Love Actually
7) Mr and Mrs Smith
8) This Means War
9) 10 things I hate about you
10) Titanic
Pretty woman had been underlined "the necklace scene..." "That's right, so what do you fancy doing next?" He sipped his wine as he stabbed a prawn "you don't have to do this mouse..." "No, I know but I wanted to" "but I wrote this when I wasn't an actress...I'm living the movies" "but not those movies...Charlie I want to do this so let me please" he held my hand "okay" I smiled at him "thank you" he leant forward and pressed his lips to mine.
