Chapter 8

Twinkle, twinkle little star

Sunday arrived and I was getting ready for this police party Tiff had invited me to. "Formal dress." I muttered to myself and ended up throwing on black suit pants, white dress shirt, black waistcoat and a black tie, I finished it off with black dress shoes. "Good enough." I said and fixed my hair before grabbing my phone, house keys and wallet. "I'm off to my thing." I yelled and anyone who could hear me in the house before I shut the door and locked it. Tiff had said to meet her outside the police station. I was slightly wary about going there because of what I did everyday with Cap and the twins. But it was unlikely that anyone would recognize me, nobody ever saw us.

"You're just in time." Tiff said when I met up with her, I would describe what she was wearing but it would take to long, I'll just sat she looked stunning; which was the truth. "C'mon" she said, linking her arm with mine as we entered the station "I want you to meet my dad." "Your old man. That's a big step." I joked and smiled at her "Ha. Ha. Very funny." She said and led me through the crowd of policemen, their wives and a few children of different ages. The man we approached was tall, fit, and had short black hair and green eyes; he was wearing an expensive suit so it was obvious he had good taste and money. I hoped he wouldn't notice my shoes, they were quite expensive and had been gotten in a not so legal way. "Dad" Tiff said and the man turned to face his daughter, his eyes crinkled in a good natured smile as he introduced himself "Chief Inspector James Tiffany." He said and firmly shook my hand "You must be Seamus." "Yep" I said "that's me. It's nice to meet you, sir." He smiled at me and started talking about school. I joined in the conversation and slowly relaxed as the evening wore on.

"Having a nice time?" I asked Tiff. "Great time" she said "I'm just a bit hot is all." "Me too. Let's get some fresh air." I said and took her hand in mine, leading her out of the crowded room. "Up here" I said and nodded at a ladder that led up to the roof "Okay then." She said and her eyes twinkled with adventure. I didn't climb the ladder, instead I found my own way up and beat her to the top. When she got there we sat on the edge and let our legs dangle, I un-buttoned by suit vest, loosened my tie a little and undid the top button of my shirt, "That's better." I said, "That room was stuffy." I turned to look at Tiff and saw that she was looking at the stars. "They're lovely aren't they?" She said and I agreed and pointed at constellations "That's Gemini, and over there is Orion. They're my favourites." I said and she smiled at me "How come you know so much about the stars?" She asked "My uncle taught me about them every time he came over from the Jersey Isles." I said and noticed her shiver slightly. Without thinking I placed an arm around her in an attempt to warm her up. She looked up at me when I did and said "Can I tell you a secret?" She said and I nodded so she continued "I meant to bump into you on first day. I thought you were cute." I smiled "Can I tell you a secret?" I asked her "Of course." She said "I think you're beautiful." I said and closed the gap between us as I kissed her. In that moment it was just us, no party, no four floor drop below us, the us two, in the moment. We separated but only for a second before kissing again. It went on like that for a good 6 minutes before we came apart and pressed our foreheads together. "We really should get off the roof." I whispered "I know." She said. But we didn't leave the roof, instead we kissed again. I could steal all the phones in the world, but nothing would amount to the feeling I had in that moment. It's was absolutely amazing.

Back at home I didn't try to change into bed clothes. I just lay on my bed with the biggest grin on my face. I glanced over at my desk and saw the flier for the black light party, it had a sticky note attached to it that read: China doll girl? I read it over before scratching it out with red pen. I didn't even now her name.

Lance and Nifer were: Jifer. Lance and EJ were: Lemily, but I don't know what to call these two! If you have any names please tell me :)
