cheradine- kissing my stilettos part 5

part 5

I smile proudly down at our bench looking at our cakes until a loud thud next to me makes me turn and what I see makes me double over with laughter

"Shut up man!" Cheryl 's geordie tones fill my ears as I laugh, looking back up at her she has flour all over her face and in her hair, the offending bag now lying on the floor by her feet

"Stop laughing and help us you dork!" She bends down and starts to sweep up the mess I shake my head and quickly grab some tissue and wet it bending down coming face level with Cheryl I start to clean her face

"Thanks" she mumbles her cheeks reddening slightly

"S'ok" I smile and get back up

"Well ladies looks like we had fun!" Miss Roberts says looking at the now tamed mess on the floor

"The cupcakes are excellent" she smiled before walking off to taste the other pupils creations.

*bell rings*

"Finally!" Sarah screeches leaning dramatically against me I push her off making my way to my locker I shake my head at her
"You didn't even do a full day" I laugh she goes to say something but someone shouting my name stops her

"Nadine!" I turn around and see Cheryl casually walking towards me and Sarah

"Cheryl?" I say her name and she grins her dimples making a quick appearance
"Can I borrow your locker? Just til I get mine like" she says

"I guess" I say and she throws her books inside and slams the door shut
"Later" she smiles and then walks away
I sigh and make my way with Sarah towards Nicola who looks miserable

"Who put foam in your locker?" Sarah sniggers
"Me and Charlie had a fight" nicola sniffs her eyes instantly tearing up
"Aww ginge" I put my arms around her and hug her
"Should we go to yours nadz?" I nod towards Sarah and we walk the short journey to my house.

Later that evening I wave off Sarah and Nicola unwillingly, tonight is the night Cheryl is round for dinner with her family and I have knots in my stomach
"Go and freshen up love" my mum says and I go to my room and change from my uniform to some jeans and a vest top, I quickly redo my lip gloss and go downstairs, as I reach the bottom step the door goes and I see my mum rush the answer it

"Welcome Joan, come in come in" she ushers them in, Cheryls mum a young boy and then Cheryl herself walks in.... she's wearing a dress I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing out loud

"thank you for inviting us round, this is me younger son Gary, and you've already met me daughter Cheryl" Joan smiles

"no need to thank me, go through and make yourselves comfy" mum says and they walk through to the living room I catch Cheryl eye and I snort with laughter causing her to shoot my daggers with her eyes
"You look lovely Cheryl" I say to her as I sit on the sofa she turns to me and opens her mouth to speak but her mam stops her
"Be nice Cheryl!"
She rolls her eyes and pulls at her dress, my eyes scan over her, her hair is tied to the side and tumbles over one shoulder curled loosely at the end, her brown eyes seem bigger from the mascara and eyeliner she has on all defined by the black knee length dress she is wearing, as I look back to her face her eyes lock onto mine, I'm quick to swallow the gasp that nearly came out a blush coming to my cheeks Cheryl smiles and winks at me
"I'm just going to see if my mum needs any help, drinks?" I say standing up
"Oh teas fine pet thank you" I nod my head
"Cheryl go and help her" Joan then adds and I curse in my head
"A-Aye" I stutters and stands following me to the kitchen.

As we enter the kitchen we nearly collide with my mother
"Sorry girls" she says
"We were just coming to see if you needed any help" I say and Cheryl nods her head beside me
"Oh that's okay sweetheart" she says and pinches my cheek I pull away embarrassed
"Mum!" She says going an instant shade of beetroot
"I'll take these in, why don't you girls get some glasses for some cold drinks" mum says leaving the room with a tray of cups and a pot of tea.

"Well Nadine I never took you as the cheek pinching type" i turn to look at Cheryl with narrowed eyes
"Never took you for one to wear a dress" I throw back at her and she laughs
"But you like me in a dress.... in this dress" she says leaning close against me moving until I hit the back of the kitchen counter
"W-What?... get real Cheryl" I say to her looking into her eyes
" your eyes" she says and I raise an eyebrow
" you say one thing but your eyes say another" she grins those dimples appearing again
"Get lost" I laugh, she laughs back but then moves her face close to mine til I can feel her breath on my lips
"tonight will be fun" she says licking her lips, the tip of her tongue touching mine before she places a chase kiss on them and moving backwards and out of the room leaving me gripping the counter trying to remember to breathe but also making anger boil inside me.
