A few days passed, nothing new, Weather a little colder but basically, Same old routine, different day. Once again the time had come to join the rest of the workforce, following the now so familiar routine. Bakery. Work. This time as the shutter started to go down signalling the end to yet another day Kayleigh looked out of the window and spotted the same guy as a few days ago. Raising an eyebrow she looked over at sadie “Hey, look who it is..” He leant casually against the railings and smiled up at her. He was roughly 5'8, Jett black hair and dark eyes, His hair flopped to the side casually but at only a couple of inches long It just about reached halfway down his forehead. He was wearing Black jeans, a grey t-shirt with “Come if convenient, If inconvenient come all the same” printed on the front and a black leather jacket. He went to wave then decided against looking cheesy and changed his motion to run a hand through his hair gripped his keys on his other hand, seemingly waiting patiently. Sadie laughed and nodded “Not bad looking really...Whats his name?” Kayleigh shrugged. “Something like.. paul.. maybe.. Grant” “So you don’t know basically?” “No.. I guess I don’t” she laughed and headed out to get her stuff. Running a brush through her hair and chucking a hoody on she grabbed her bag. “Are you going to let him drive you?” sadie asked a little concerned. “No of course... not” she shrugged “I mean.. he is a nice guy” “And you have met him once..?” Sadie replies pulling on her coat and scarf “yeah..” “Text me when your home at least?” she asks pulling out her own phone and sliding it into her pocket “Fine.. fine..” “So basically you'll forget?” “yeah..” she laughs. They head out quickly. He isnt anywhere to be seen so they head up the usual route watching the last few stores shut for the night. “I cant wait for my bed!” Sadie smiles and pulls her coat a little tighter “Its been a long day” kayleigh nods. As they reach the exit, the guy steps infront of them, causing them to startle a little before recognition sets in.

“Kayleigh I thought I would find you here” he smiles gently “Is that because your following her?” Sadie snaps defensively and glares at him. “No..” he fluster “No.. I .. no?” Sadie laughs and looks to kayleigh, “Text me ok?” No reply. “OK?” “fine, fine.. go” she laughs and waves her off. “So..” kayleigh starts as soon as Sadie has left the building “How can I help you?” “I want to show you something” he starts unbuttoning his neatly dont jacket “We have only just met.. bit soon?” kayleigh jokes to which he blushes and shakes his head “No! Not … that!! No I was just getting my keys!” “Relax.. Im joking” she laughs as he tenses up and takes out his keys before holding out his arm for her to take. She thinks it over, stood there in the fading light. Not like she has anywhere to hurry off too tonight. Taking his arm she follows him back in and through the centre and up to the rooftop car park. In the corner, in the shadows, parked perfectly sat a Midnight Blue, Toyota Celica. “This here.. is my silly car” he smiles gently pressing the button to unlock her. “I hoped to give you a lift, grab some food and then drop you home?” he offered walking around to the passenger side he leant over and opened the door “Ladies first” Kayleigh smiled and nodded, sceptically at first but got in all the same.

Climbing in the other side, the car seemed to jolt a little and Kayleigh could have sworn she heard him mumble “Behave!” as he sat back and put the key into the ignition. “This is a .. beautiful car” He smiles over at her and reaches behind the seat before handing her a rose “Here” “Thankyou” she smiles and then bites her lip “This is going to sound rude.. but I dont even know your name!” He laughs. Not the reaction she expected but he just laughs and starts the engine “Its Sickorovski” he smiles “But you can call me Ross.. All my friends do” the engine growls as they exit the centre and start to drive around the town and out towards the country side “Erm.. where would we be grabbing this food?” She asks, a little apprehensively all the while texting sadie (who is fangirling) the details. “A pub.. on the outskirts of east peckham , near Tonbridge wells, You can tell your friend your safe. Its called the man of kent” he laughs notioning to the phone in her hands. After twenty minutes of countryside and people pointing at the car in awe they pull up at the pub, parking in the far corner. As they climbed out and started to walk away she could have sworn she heard “Shes a nice one” but turning to look, nothing but the car looked back. “Strange” “What is?” he wondered looking back at her “Nothing...” she blushed as they sat on a bench. “Ill order” he smiles and walks up to the bar, returning moment later with two pepsi's and Two portions of chips and cheese. “Here” he smiles sitting opposite her and handing hers over “So..” he starts to talks “Het..hum” That voice again. He looks sheepish and looks back at the car, a scowl on his face. “So.. What do you do other than work?” he wondered trying to ignore the confusion on her face. “I ..watch films and draw” she smiles peeking over his shoulder every now and then.

An hour passed easily, Idle chit chat. He smiled the entire time, lightening up more all the time they talked. After a while he stood “Excuse me.. I need to use the bathroom” As he walked in towards the bar he glared at the car and shook his head. As soon as he had disappeared Kayleigh looked over that the car again.
