I set my alarm for six AM knowing that Fp would be by at six forty-five.  I got ready putting on Fps favorite red lipstick wondering if he would notice.  Hal didn't like when I wore red lipstick so, putting it on gave me a boost for the day.  I had a quick breakfast and clean up the kitchen then I heard a knock at the door.  I opened the door and it was Fp I invited him in.  I was turning around to grab my purse so we could leave.  I turned back around and Fp was staring at me smiling.  "What?" I asked him.  He didn't say anything but he pulled me into him and kissed me.  "You know that was my favorite lipstick on you.  It looked hot with your serpent jacket." He said with a devious smile.  "Ok we have to go we can't be late." I said with a pouty face not wanting to leave.  We got in his truck as I saw Fred taking out the trash.  "Morning Fred." Fp said.  He waved back at us with curiosity wondering what we were doing.  We pulled out of the driveway and Fp could tell I was nervous about Fred knowing about us.  "Hey it's Fred he's my best friend he won't say a word."  I looked into his eyes and shook my head believing in him and fred.  We got to Pops and I went into the back change like I had always done before.  Fp put his jacket on the coat rack and got to work.   "Hi Pop." I said coming back out to help Fp.  Pops always was pretty busy in the mornings especially on the weekend.  It was still early and I had already felt people staring at me wondering why I was working here.  I went back behind the counter to give Pop and order.  "How you holding up?" Fp asked me.  "I'm ok. I can feel a lot of people looking at me wanting to ask me questions."  "Its like I just want to get on top of the counter and announce to everyone Yes I Work Here Now!"  Fp chuckled "Well have fun with that."  Hal walked in with Penelope Blossom.  They didn't see me as I walked in.  Fp noticed them to and asked if I wanted him to take the table but I said no and walked over with my head held high.  "What can I get you." I said with a smile.  Hal almost didn't look up recognizing my voice.  "Alice i'm surprised to see you here."  Penelope said.  "Why don't you ask your date he will answer that question for you." I said with a little sarcasm.  "Now what can I get you two?" I asked again hoping for an answer so I could get the hell out of there.  "Two coffees." Hal said with a shake in his voice.  I walked away trying not to laugh.  I just caught my husband with another girl.  Wow I guess we both have found other interest.  Fp was smiling at me as I was getting their coffees.  "So how did it go?" "Well my husband is sitting in a booth with another woman and I'm trying not to laugh." I said giving out a little giggle.  I was walking out from behind the counter to give them their drinks and Fp put his hand out so it would brush my hip.  "Just a little more confidence for you." He smiled.  "Here you go two coffees.  Are you ready to order or do you need a minute?" Hal still would not look me in the eyes.  "Give us a minute." Penelope said a little irritated like I had ruined their breakfast.  I walked back to the counter and all I wanted to do was grab Fp and take him over to Hal and Penelope and say its ok to be with her I am with the only man I love and kiss him right in front of  Hal.  After a couple minutes I went back over to their table and asked again "Are we ready to order?"  Hal finally looked me in the eyes "I will take pancakes and she will have a morning sandwich."  It hurt me a little bit that he ordered for her he never did that for me ,"coming right up."  I walked away looking a little hurt but then I saw Fp and instantly smiled.  I gave the order to Pop and got another table some drinks.  There were not many people in the dinner so I was standing behind the counter waiting for Pop to ring the bell.  Me and Fp were talking and it was so hard not to touch him.  "So what are we doing tonight?" I asked in curiosity.  "You will have to wait and see." He teased me like he always did when we were together.  "Fine then you will just have to wait and see what I have planned then." I said back to try to tease him.  His cheeks blushed trying not to kiss me.  Pop rang the bell "order up." It was Hals order.  I grabbed the plates and took the over "Anything else I can get you two?" "No were good." Hal spoke quickly.  His voice was still shaky speaking to me.   I went back behind the counter and cleaned because there was no one left.  Fp came back with me pretending to clean but really all he was doing was distracting me.  "I missed you in that outfit." Fp said. I looked at him with a smirk.  I really wanted to kiss him but Hal was here so I couldn't.  Fp watched Hals table hard as he gave me a quick peck on the cheek.  Him doing that scared the hell out of me.  I looked at their table making sure they didn't see anything. The day went on and it was pretty busy because it was the weekend.  Me and Fps shifts were over so we grabbed our stuff and said bye to Pop as we walked out the door.  Fp couldn't even wait till he got home.  We walked out to the car and pushed me against it starting to kiss me.  My hands went around his neck and he lifted me on top of his truck.  I broke the kiss smiling with a little giggle. "We haven't been in this position in forever." Looking at Fp.  He brought me down off the hood and we got in the truck.  I sat in the middle like I used to snuggled under his arm.  We got inside the trailer and he went to get wine and A Rebel Without A Cause.  He came out "I am going to go to the bathroom I'll be right back." I gave him a quick kiss.  I went into the bathroom with my purse and pulled out his shirt that I had took the last time I was here I also put on some more of his favorite lipstick.  I went back into the living room and he was on the couch waiting for me.  "So what do you think?" I asked.  "Wow you look incredible." He said back looking at me like he was star struck.  Fp never cared how I looked he just always thought I was beautiful.
