Too Fast For Love

Chapter 26: Long Way To Love

I opened the little black box to reveal an all real silver rose necklace. I gasped in shock when I looked at it. It was beyond gorgeous. I sat it back down and reached out for the envelope with the note in it. The envelope read:

༒ 𝒦𝒶𝓉 ༒

I couldn't really make out who's handwriting it was, but by the looks of the piece of jewelry it came with, every lead was pointing towards Nikki.

I didn't want to open it up and read what it has to say, so I sat it back down on the coffee table and got up to go to my room to change clothes. I walked into my room and walked over to my record player and records. I grabbed a Plasmatics' record and started to play it while I got ready. I then walked over to my closet. I was at loss of what I should wear tonight. Mick said that it was somewhere up in the hills that he wanted to take me. Did I just need to dress comfy or??? Maybe to be safe, I should bring an extra pair clothes.

I proceeded to look through my closet until I came across my velvet red cropped shirt. I paired it with a pair of high waisted light blue jeans and all black converse.

I then proceeded to do my makeup, giving myself a black smokey eye look and a dark brown lip. I teased my hair and hair-sprayed it to lock it in. I walked out to my full length mirror and took a look at myself. I was actually pretty content with my look. I looked at the time and realized it was 8:47pm. Mick said that he was going to be here at 9pm so I had some time to kill before he got here. I grabbed a small black purse and put in a few essentials such as my lipstick, my pocket knife and some weed and a flask.

Walking back out into my living room, I picked up the letter. I was so tempted to read it, but I didn't want to by myself. I put it in my bag. I also grabbed the little black box and opened it again. I had to admit, this was one of the most gorgeous necklaces I have ever seen. I took it out and put it on around my neck. I walked into my kitchen with my empty flask and filled it up with some whiskey and then took about a shot or two from the bottle myself. As I was closing it up, I heard a knock at my front door. I quickly ran over and checked to see who is was. I saw it was a man with very teased hair covering his face, a dark gray button up shirt and leather pants. I couldn't really see the face so I opened the door. I opened it to reveal it was Nikki.

"Woah...Kat" he said. It took me a second to process him because he wasn't the person I was expecting right now. I was expecting Mick. I started to get a little nervous and I could feel my face getting warm. Or maybe that was just the whiskey kicking in.

"Nikki...hi. I'm actually waiting for Mick right now. What are you doing here" I asked trying not to mess up my words. Somehow this man always seems to get me all tongue-tied.

"Mick sent me to come get you actually. He said there was a thing he had to do before and that he'd be running late" Nikki said, looking down putting his hands in his pockets and then back up.

"Oh alright then" I started to say. "Let me just get my purse and keys and I'll be ready." He nodded his head in agreement.

I turned around from the front door and went towards the coffee table to grab my things.

"I see that you got the gifts I got for you" he said leaning up against the doorframe. I picked up my flask and put it in my bag and looked up at him.

"Yeah. I was going to actually call you and thank you for them" I replied. He then walked over to me from the doorway and realized I was already wearing the necklace. He gently picked it up from my neck.

"I'm really glad. You're welcome Kat. Happy birthday" he said letting go of it and kissing me on my forehead. I couldn't help but start to blush. He then pulled away and smiled at me.

"Are you ready to go" he asked. I nodded my head and proceeded to walk out as Nikki followed behind.
