The Bucket List (Kellic)

7. Get Out

*Three weeks later*

I'm slowly going insane from being stuck in this house all day with no one to talk to because all of my friends are at school. Yeah I have my school work and stuff but that only take three out of the eight hours I'm alone. I don't know how much more Netflix I can watch. I've already finished about three shows. 

Is it bad that I don't even know what day it is. I'm pretty sure it's Friday. Probably.

Vic texts me everyday during lunch and study hall so at least I have that. It still gets pretty lonely. Maybe I can talk to my mom about getting me a cat. Yeah, I'll do that. I wonder if Vic likes cats? I pull out my phone and text him the question before placing it back on the couch, knowing he won't answer until after school. 

To my surprise, my phone went off, telling me I had a text. I was almost expecting it to be Vic but it was actually my mom, asking how I was doing. I tell her I'm doing fine and set my device down again. 

What would I even name the cat? I would definitely love having a kitten. Those are the best because that way, you can grow a strong bond between them. I'd also want to get it from a the small shelter down town. They always take in animals in need and sell them for a decent amount of money. 

I think Vic had said something about taking me out on a date tonight while we were on Skype last night. Though, I'm not sure because I passed out shortly after. It was kind of cute because we fell asleep while doing so and he woke me up so he could tell me good morning and that'll he'll see me later. Well, everything except the waking me up part. 

I finally decide that I'm just going to sleep the time away so I lay down and wrap my small frame in a fuzzy blanket because it's snowing out and I was too lazy to turn on the fireplace. 

-

I was woken up later by my mom lightly shaking my shoulder. 

"Kell," She whispers, "Come on. You have to get ready for your date tonight." She says excitedly. 

Ever since I told my mom about Vic and I becoming an official thing, she hasn't shut up. Every time I say his name, she gets all soft. She's always bringing him here after school and letting him stay over on the weekends. Though, we haven't slept in the same bed yet. He usually sleeps on an air mattress because he doesn't want to rush our relationship. 

That doesn't stop me from wondering what it would be like to fall asleep and wake up in his arms. 

"Vic told me to let you know to where something nice but on the casual side." She tells me before I go to my room.

I go straight to my closet and grab a navy and white button up with maroon skinny jeans. I also grab a black beanie to cover my hairless head. 

After changing and fixing my outfit, I make my way back to the living room to wait for Vic. 

About ten minutes later, my phone starts ringing. I answer it after seeing it was Vic.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Hey baby. Uh, I'm outside of your house but I'm not really feeling like getting out of the car. It's too cold." He explains.

"It's not even that cold." I laugh, "I'll be out in a minute." I tell him then hang up. 

I rush over and slip on a pair of Toms then tell my mom I'm leaving. I go out the door, cautious of the slippery steps and make my way to Vic's car in front of my house.

"Is it seriously too cold for you?" I ask him as I get into the car.

"What? No hello kiss?" He asks, "I haven't kissed you in like three days." He points out. I laugh and roll my eyes but peck his lips anyways. 

"Anyways, the cold?" I ask him.

"I grew up in San Diego. I've only ever seen snow one other time in my life." He explains.

"I guess that makes a lot of sense." I say as he starts away from my house. 

The ride was kind of silent from there on. Though, halfway, Vic took my hand in his. It was the small things like that that made my heart flutter. He was just so sweet. 

Eventually, he pulled into a parking of a pretty decent looking restaurant. I look over to Vic and stare at him for a few seconds before he noticed me. We made eye contact before we got out of the car. 

"I feel like we're going to run into a couple homophobes in here." Vic says wearily. 

"It's okay. If we do, I'll pull the cancer card." I tell him.

"No, don't do that." He says sternly.

"I'm going to do it someday. It's going to happen." I say with determination. 

"You do that." Vic laughs, placing his hand in the small of my back, leading me into the restaurant. 

Vic got us a table and before I knew it, our food was being placed in front of us. Surprisingly, we haven't gotten any remarks about our sexuality. Not that I'm complaining or anything. It's great to be able to have a nice date with my boyfriend without being called disgusting. 

I picked at my salad before a devilish idea come to my mind. I picked up a piece of lettuce with some dressing on it and stuck it to Vic's forehead.

"What-? Why?" He whin, taking it off and rubbing his forehead. I giggled and grabbed another piece and threw it at him. He took the piece that was in his hand and threw it back at me. 

Before I knew it, half of my plate was on Vic and vice versa. I was a giggling mess and I could feel a coughing fit approach but I couldn't stop. Well, that was until the manger came up to us. 

"Excuse me, but-" He stops when I start coughing. Both the manager and Vic stare at me with concern. 

"You okay?" Vic asks once I finish. I nod and look back over to the manager.

"I'm sorry. Continue." I tell him. 

"Right. I'm going to have ask you two to leave. Your disturbing the people around you with your childish acts. I don't even know why your parents would let the two you come here." The manager scoffs.

"My parents are dead." Vic says bluntly. Vic stands up forcefully, takes my oxygen and my hand, then storms out of the restaurant.  

"Vic-" I start but he stops me. 

"Sh. I'll explain in a second but let's get out here before they catch us." He says, turning on his car and pulling out of the parking lot. 

"Are you going to tell me what just happened?" I ask him as he drives down the highway.

"Oh yeah. So, I was going to make you pull the cancer card but I thought it wouldn't make sense so I just made something up and the guy would get flustered so we could get out of there before it even hit him." He explains. I look at him for a second before bursting out into laughter which causes him to laugh as well. 

I know we got kicked out of a restaurant but I had so much fun doing it.

I had no idea how to end that chapter so yeah. I didn't want to drag it out too much.
