Prologue:
Kenzie's P.O.V:
'Shane, get off me will you? I'm not in the mood.' I said pushing him away as he tried yet again to kiss my exposed neck. Clearly not taking the hint I push him off once more, getting to my feet, straitening myself out before heading to the kitchen.
'What is up with you today huh? you have been in bitch mode all day.' Asked Shane in a pissed off tone. Stopping dead in my tracks I spin on my heels and looked to him. His brow was furrowed in annoyance.
'So because I won't give you what you want, I am a bitch?' I retorted in a equally pissed off tone. I knew he was unhappy because I wouldn't give him what he wanted. Sex.
I was as far from a bad mood as a person could be, tomorrow was my birthday and I was excited.
'No not at all, you are just being off with me is all.' Folding my arms across my chest resting all my weight to the left I said.
'I just don't feel like sex, is that a crime?'
'No, I guess not.' Replied Shane running his hand through his hair then letting out a deep sigh before looking at his watch. 'Well I best be off then.'
'So you can't get me into bed, there for you just take off.' Continuing into the kitchen, Shane followed. 'Why can't we ever spend any real time together, you know without sex being involved?'
'What? Kenz you are the one who said lets be fuck buddies, no strings attached, on tap sex. Those were your words not mine.' He reminded me
'I know,' I sighed 'I know what I said but I'm sick of it, I want more Shane.'
'From me?'
'Yes Shane from you, I want us to be a proper couple... don't you?'
'Only since I met you, but you made it clear you didn't so I took what I got. Are you sure this is what you want?' I nodded, without another word he stepped forward closing the gap between us, his left hand sliding around my waist pulling me as close to him as he could get, while his other hand gently caressed my cheek a moment before sliding around my neck, his brown eyes looked into my green ones and I melted there in his arms. 'Lets do this.' he grinned before pulling me into a deep passionate kiss.
I pull away and look up to him 'Shane, you do want this right? it's not just a way to get me into bed?'
Shane took a step back throwing his hands in the air Jeez Kenzie, I have told you on many occasions how I feel about you, this isn't a sex thing for me.'
'Sorry, I know you just told me, ignore me I'm being stupid.' His face softened as he took me in his arms again.
'Don't worry about it, your not being stupid but I promise you, I want this.' He gently kissed my cheek before letting me go.
'Okay well I better get ready for work, will I see you tomorrow?'
'It's your birthday, of course you will.' I smiled and gave him one last kiss before he left me to get ready for work.
Ruby's P.O.V:
Placing my now fully loaded gun into the holder I close and lock the Ammo cabinet just as Rick walked in, He greeted me with his usual friendly smile. I wipe some of my stray red hair behind my ear as I returned the smile.
'Hey there Ruby how are you today?' Asked Rick as he done everyday.
'Great thanks. Oh Rick while I remember, I am having a party for Kenzie tomorrow will you be there?'
'Of course wouldn't miss it for the world. Uh not sure if Lori will, depends if we get a sitter for Carl but count me in for sure.'
'Great, well either me or Shane will fill you in with details when we have sorted it all out. and remember mom's the word.' I said tapping the side of my nose with a smile, he chuckled slightly and acted out pad locking his mouth and throwing away the key causing me to laugh. Grabbing my hat I head for the door. 'See you out there.' I told him before leaving him to get changed in privacy.
Lunch time came none to soon and I was more than ready to eat. Sleeping in this morning made me miss breakfast and all through the day my stomach has been reminding me it has yet to be fed. Which is rather embarrassing when you are in the middle of giving some dude a speeding ticket. Luckily the man was polite and pretended not to even hear it. I pulled into the KFC parking lot a place I never got to come when I was with Kenzie as unlike me she is full on Vegetarian and can't stomach the smell of any meat. while I still eat chicken and fish. So I always took full advantage of being alone and ate here.
For being early afternoon the place was rather empty. Only one family sat in the farthest left booth. Stepping up to the counter I placed my order of a boneless chicken box and a large cola.
I was nearly half way and I culd feel myself being defeated. I don't know why I ordered the bucket I have never been able to finish it yet. Then again it saves me cooking dinner when I got home. Leaning back in defeat I noticed Rick walk in. Quickly grabbing my napkin I degrease my face and fingers just in time. Upon noticing me Rick gave a small wave before turning his attention back to the server giving them his order.
I decided I would wait and keep Rick company while he has his lunch, that was if he was stopping in. Yes I will use any excuse to spend time with him because, yes I am madly in love with him and yes I know he has a wife and a child and I know we will never happen. I know this because he told me.
In the past we have had a few ''Moments'' and he finally admitted to Shane who told Kenzie who told me he had feelings for me but he couldn't, no scratch that, wouldn't leave Lori and let Carl grow up in a broken home, which I can fully respect. Sucks for me though. So I guess okay he didn't tell me directly, in fact he doesn't even know I know of his feelings for me.
Rick took the seat opposite me breaking me free of my thoughts 'Hey there, busy day?' He asked with a smile. I took a sip of my cola before replying
'A little, it seems everyone is in a hurry today I have busted six people for speeding already.'
'Must be something in the air, I have busted four myself.'
'Must be the air, either that or Atlanta is having the party of the century and we weren't invited.' He chuckled at my lame joke as he held my gaze for a very long moment, his blue pools looked into my green ones, I felt my stomach do a few small flips and I force myself to look away. Rick nervously took a sip of his cola before focusing on his food.
Lunch was over all to quickly for my liking and we were soon going our separate ways once again.
I swung by The Bronze to make some final arrangements for Kenzie's party.
The task of hiring this club for the night was near impossible. See Kenzie is the manager and well it wouldn't be much of a surprise if she knew about it, so I had to get all the staff in on it, book it under a false name and make sure Kenzie had nothing to do with the planning and if you knew Kenzie you would understand what a difficult task that was. But I somehow managed to pull it off and convinced her to take the night off. The only part I had yet to figure out was how I was going to get her to come here on her night off.
Kenzie's P.O.V:
Stepping out the office I was surprised to find Ruby talking to Ben my number one Bar man.
'Hey Rubes, what are you doing here?' I asked walking over to the bar.
'Hey you,' she grinned 'I was looking for you of course.'
'Why what's wrong?' I asked concerned, it wasn't like Ruby to pop into my work to see me, not when she was on duty herself so my first thought was it was an emergency of some kind.
'Nothing is wrong silly, I was just wondering if we were still on for our little get together tomorrow night?'
'And you couldn't have called?'
'Well I was in the neighbourhood and thought I would pop in for a drink... water of course and ask you in person. Ben a water please,' she asked Ben as I took a seat one one of the bar stools. She then turned to me and asked. 'So are we still on?'
'Oh Rubes, I don't know, I want to, but we have this party tomorrow and I am just not sure about leaving Lia alone to deal with it all.'
'Oh come on we always spend our birthdays together, and besides, Lia needs to learn how to handle things alone eventually, it is her job right?' Lia is my assistant Manager but she is new and unsure of things.
'- I guess so, and she will call if she needs me.... okay okay you twisted my arm.'
'Great now I really must go, thanks for that water Ben.' I smile and watch as she exits the club.
