Four Kisses (Book one)

Day Five

The next morning came and I found Michael in bed beside me. I tried to remember when he came in but I must have been fast asleep. I turned over and watched TV. An hour later I felt him stir beside me. He slid his arm around my waist and I froze. He slowly pulled his arm back.

"Please don't do this Sarah. Don't shut me out."

Who was being the needy girl now? Christ all I asked for was some room to breathe, not for him to move to fucking mars.

"I asked for some space Michael. I need to deal with this my way, you do what you need to and leave me out of it. I'll see you at the shop later. I need to hand in my resignation."

Michael got out of bed and kissed me on the cheek. He knelt beside the bed so I would look at him.

"I still love you, I always will. I will wait for as long as it takes."

I couldn't not say anything.

"I love you too Michael."

He said goodbye but came back in a couple of seconds later.

"Spud and Badger will be here soon with a hire car. They have car seats as well and I told them not to disturb you. Call me if you need anything."

He left and I got up to have a shower. As I got out I saw Badger pass the bathroom window. A few moments he walked back past. I heard them leave and I dressed and went out side. I found a brand new Honda CRV parked in the driveway. There was no suggestions that it was a hire car. I called Michael.

"That's not a hire car is it?"

"You wouldn't have taken it otherwise. Think of it as a work car."

I hung up. I opened the door and got hit with the new car smell. I sat in the drivers seat and grinned. I could get used to driving this I suppose. I pushed the button to start it and it purred to life. I was shocked to see it only had 200kms on the clock. I went back inside and got my things before getting in the car. I connected my phone and started blasting five finger death punch. If this car got torched I would cry. I sent a text to Michael.

You have been replaced by a car. I want to have it's babies.

That would have to be the weirdest text I have ever received. Maybe we can practice making babies in the car?

No. No sex in my car. That's like cheating on your partner while they watch.

You have one fucked up mind.

Hence why I am dating you

That's it you win. Good luck with quitting your job

Thanks xxxx

I threw the kisses in to make sure he knew I was joking about the car, well mostly joking.

My car and I arrived at the supermarket and I went inside. I felt like all eyes were on me as I made my way out the back. I found Gary and he made me wait upstairs while he got Simon and the area manager. Gary looked angry and so did the area manager. They all sat there looking at me so I started.

"I would like to apologise for what happened last night. I had no idea the rebels had a beef with Michael or that I was dating him. I didn't know the cop was listening, better still, that he was going to go out and talk to the rebels. But due to me being exposed and putting other staff in danger I have decided to hand in my resignation with two weeks leave."

The area manager sat back, obviously happy he didn't have to fight too much.

"I agree with what you are wanting to do and you will be given everything you are entitled to. I wasn't comfortable with a team member dating someone of his nature, it's not a personal thing, you can do what you want. But when that impacts on the store it becomes my business. What are you doing for work?"
