One MONTH Nightstand

Chapter 12

"Dylan! Over here!" KC waved.

April 19th. 8 am. Dylan's 22nd birthday and they decided to meet up on the train station. KC had already purchased their tickets for St Claire.

"Hi! Sorry am I late? Did you wait long??" Dylan asked then noticed the bag she was carrying. He eyed it suspiciously.

"No. I just got here. Happy birthday." She hugged then kissed him on the lips fast. Dylan wished it could be longer. He was still reeling from the euphoria knowing that KC like him too. He got her bag and it was heavy.

"Hey what's in here??" he asked.

"My laptop??" she grinned then grabbed his other hand. He noticed how pretty KC really was. Today she decided to wear a simple white dress that falls just above her knees. They walked slowly to the train which was now loading.

"You're not kidnapping me are you?" he joked as he put the bag on the train baggage holder when they found their seats.

She rolled her eyes. The moment Dylan closed their train room, KC tugged him hard. Being the girl with the strong grip, Dylan almost lose his balance.

"KC!" he hissed as KC covered his lips with hers. Lately they almost make out whenever they were alone. "Don't do that! What if somebody walked in?? We are still waiting for two more passengers."

"Well I booked this train room already ."she grinned.

He cleared his throat as the train started to move. "So what are we doing in St Claire??" he asked.

KC blushed then looked outside. "Well, there's a World Games Expo at St Claire's mall today. Want to check it out??"

Dylan would really like to.... Well really anything will do as long as he's with KC. He haven't had the time to buy her present for her birthday tomorrow . Maybe he can buy her something there too.

11am when they went off at the train and headed to the mall. They decided to eat in restaurant first for lunch before checking out the Expo.

"Dylan, I'll just leave my bag in the baggage counter, meet me here in half hour," KC said.

"I'll go with you...."

"No! ... You go ahead. I'll be back in a jiffy." KC said.

Dylan just shrugged and took that time to look for something that KC might like. KC came back a while later and they decided to check out the Games Expo hand in hand. Dylan enjoyed every moment of it. He seldom goes to Expo himself due to expensive tickets. Around four pm when they went to have a light snack.

"KC I think its about time we head back. I mean the ride's three hours long. " Dylan pointed out while checking his watch. He hugged her. "Thanks for bringing me here. I had a good time." He whispered and sniffed her hair.

KC nodded. "I'm sorry I haven't bought you anything..."KC began.

"Are you kidding? Just spending my birthday with you is enough."

They went out of the mall and immediately a taxi stopped to picked them up. Dylan decided to say nothing thinking that it will bring them to the station. It stopped on a three star hotel shortly.KC didn't wait and went out first. Dylan followed her.

"Good afternoon Sir, Mam. Are you booking for the night??"

KC nodded.

Dylan yelled mentally. No fucking way!

"Can we see your certificate Madam??"

KC pretended to rummage in her purse.

"Excuse me?? What certificate??" Dylan butted in. The receptionists looked at him oddly.

"Why . Your Marriage certificate of course Sir. Hotels in St Claire cater only to married couples." The girl explained.

"Actually we aren't married yet...."KC started not meeting Dylan's eyes. " They told me you're giving referrals to chapels??"

"Yes Mam. We gave referrals but not to minors...." She started to say.

"He's already twenty two. Not a minor anymore." KC cut her off pointing at Dylan. Dylan wanted the floor that moment to open up and swallow him whole.

"Ah. Sure Mam.Just fill this up....." KC then went to filled up a small piece of paper the needed information then handed it back to receptionist who went to put the seal."The Chapel's walking distance from here." she added.

"Sorry about that Dylan. "KC started. "Want to get married to me??"

"Another one of your pranks?"
