It took the death of hope to let you go

Chapter 11

"Babe?" I said sweetly as I could to Jim as I walked into the garage.

"Yeah?" Jim answered as I reached out foe him

"Happy Anniversary" I smiled up at him

"Happy Anniversary" Jim smiled as he leaned down to kiss the top of my head "I'm heading with Eddie for a bit. I'll meet you at the party?"

"Okay" I nodded "but I have a tiny favor"

"Really?" Jim asked me curiously "what's that love?"

"Can I borrow your truck" I ask as sweetly as I can manage "please?"

"My truck?" Jim chokes "the truck?"

"Yes" I nod looking up at him "please"

"Alright" He finally sighs after a moment fishing the keys to his bike off of the ring handing them to me "be careful"

"Thanks" I grin leaning up to kiss him "I love you"

I went upstairs to wait for Jim to leave.

When he finally did I bolted out of our bedroom flying down the stairs.

"Sid!"  I yelled taking the stairs in my house two at a time "Sid what the fuck?"

"Yo anyone here?" Mick yelled walking in my front door as I reach the ground floor

"You seen Sid?" I bark reaching him

"Nah whammie I haven't just got here" Mick shrugs offering me a hug "You good?"

"No" I sigh hugging Mick "Sid was supposed to help me go get Jim's anniversary gift."

"I can help" Mick smiles "What is it?"

"I bought Jim a bike" I start

"Wow"  Mick whistles at me

"Yeah and I don't want to go alone to go pick it up " I snapped annoyed

"You got a truck?" Mick asks me

I hold up Jim's truck keys

"I'm not driving" Mick snaps "I don't even know how you got those keys because I know how Jim is"

"I asked" I shrugged half laughing

"And he just handed them over?" Mick asks with an eyebrow arched at me

"Yeah" I shrugged again

"Again" Mick says surprised "he just handed them over?"

"I mean yeah" I laugh "I asked nicely?"

"And he said yes?" Mick whistles stunned

"So he was quiet for a second" I laugh "Then said alright and handed the keys over"

"Well like I said you're driving" Mick laughs opening the front door "he won't murder you"

"He might" I giggle walking out "Just not how you mean"

"Kinky" Mick cackles "I approve. Still surprised you don't have more kids"

"Me too" I laugh

I jump in Jim's truck starting to move the seat.

Mick stands to the side lighting a cigarette

"Aren't you coming?" I ask half annoyed

"Yeah" Mick laughs "but this is gonna take a minute"

"What?" I ask a little confused

"You're moving the seat" Mick roars laughing "There's what only a mile difference in height?"
