Guarded Heart (The GH Series)

Date Night

I had taken Ashley to our local hub where there are plenty of restaurants to pick from and her choice had stunned me. "You want to eat here?!"

"Yeah, why not?"

I was bewildered. "Nando's...?"

"Aye..."

"You wanna have chicken..."

"Again, aye. What's this all about Callie?"

"Nothing! You usually roll your eyes when I say I want chicken." Which is true. The amount of times Ashley has teased me for eating chicken a lot is unreal.

"That's cause that's what you mostly eat."

"But you don't have to pick here just because they make insanely good chicken."

Ashley groaned at me. "You asked me to choose so I did. Now move before I drag you in."

I smirked and stayed still. Ashley started to drag me towards Nando's. "But I don't wanna..." I said mockingly making passer by chuckle with my antics.

"I swear Callie... "

"Oh my...teach me!"

"What!?"

"How to swear!" Ashley growled at me and I couldn't help but laugh. I am in a playful mood and just so happy to be back in her company again. "Come on. What are you waiting on?"

"YOU!!" I burst out laughing and walked in to Nando's and asked for a table for two.

Sarah

I think I am traumatised. "That movie was... "

"Something else wasn't it!?"

"I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life over a movie before."

"Or when I touched you on your knee."

"Oh, that was so fucking mean!" I couldn't help feeling warm inside with the smile creeping over Fiona's face.

"It was funny though."

"Aye for everyone else."

"What do you fancy doing now?"

"Hmm...something light-hearted." I broke into a grin and the look of panic came across Fiona's face.

"What?"

"Come on!" I started to walk away from Fiona. Looking over her shoulder making Fiona gave me a strange look like I had almost made her weak in the knees. "Are you coming?"

"Sure." Fiona caught up with me. "Where are we going?"

"Ice skating!"

"Oh, hell no!" Fiona whipped round and tried to walk away. I slipped her hand in to hers and stopped her from walking away.

"Please? I done that horror movie with you." I looked at Fiona with my pleading eyes and Fiona finally relented.

"Fine. But if I break my leg, I'm totally holding you accountable."

"Fine with me, come on." I was still holding Fiona's hand. Truth be told I forgot that I was holding her hand and I almost dragged Fiona on to the ice rink.

Callie

"Is that?" Ashley was looking out the window at Nando's on to the ice rink and spotted some particularly good friends of ours.
