You Come First

10

The next few days are easy and Peggys over the moon. She even works less hours and spends more time with her lads which works to their advantage because their moods have definitely improved . Even Liam became a bit more chilled. Less worried.

But today is for me and Liam. Date night as silly as it sounds, is well needed. We never went on one except from your usual house parties and occasionally McDonald's but even that was just as friends.

I put a simple black lace body suit on, black high wasted jeans and a pair of flats, the nice-outgoing ones.
Liams wearing his typical trainers, jeans and a Fred Perry polo. That's the way I like him though. Simple.

" You ready then missus" He grins at me as we stand by the door.

" Think so." I look down at myself to check if I look alright.

Noel sees me judging my outfit and decides to comment on it " You look fit Sal" he winks at me.

Liam scrunches up his face at him"shurrup man" .

Noel stares at Liams shoes .

" Where did you get them shoes from?" He asks in an apathetic tone.

"why whats up with them?"

" I'm not saying thes' owt up with em but where did you get em from?"

" Well whats it got to do wi you?" Liam stares at him weirdly.

" Oh fuckin el didnt say they were shit did I?"

" Well what do you think?"

" Off on a date arent ya? What you wearing trainers for?"

" Oh you bastard" Liam charges towards Noel with his fist up.

Peggy runs to Liam and hits him with the kitchen cloth.

" Just go already will ya? Have fun"Peggy laughs and points to the door.

" We're gonna mam. Bye" he says then looks at noel " And youuu." He points his finger at Noel " are very very lucky that mams here."

They can't go a day without a pointless argument. Noel just shrugs his shoulders and laughs it off.

" see ya later." I smile at her and Noel and we walk out of the door.

Liam sniggers to himself and takes my hand in his.

" Can ya believe it Sal?"

" What?"

"Two 16 year old kids off out on a fucking date how mad is that? We were fucking eachother senseless not long ago thinking nowt of it."

He always knows how to spoil the mood.

" Shut up Liam I'm buzzing for this me arent you?"

" Oi, course I am and that but I just think its very very funny." He decides holding my hand isn't enough so he wraps his arm around me. " I love you  ya know."

" I love you too." I Wrap my arm around him too and we make our way over to the nearest and probably shittest restaurant in town.

" Anyway I'm thinking of starting a band or sumat like that as daft as it sounds?"

"A band?" I sound dumbfounded.

This has never come up in conversations but thinking about it, Liam could probably make it. He has a good voice.

" Ye like with a bit of drums and shit Sal" he unwrapped his arm from around my body and pretended to play guitar in a funny motion " a lil' guitar and that , I think I'd be right good me".
