Nineteen – Kit

I was awoken by the ringing phone at about half two. With a weary sigh, I managed to pull myself up and answer it. The voice on the other end was the last one I’d wanted to hear.

“Hey, Kit, how was the party?”

“How the hell did you get my number?” I couldn’t believe this. He was going too far. I was calling the police right after I hung up on him. “This is harassment, Nick. You do know that? I can’t…”

“You sound sick,” he cut in, worry in his tone.

“I’m fine, not that it’s your business.” I coughed.

“You’ve been sick? That’s not good.”

“No shit,” I muttered. “That’s beside the point. I don’t want you calling me. You’re not welcome. I don’t like you. Get it through…”

“There’s still some cake left, isn’t there?”

He was seriously giving me a headache now. “I threw it away.”

“No you didn’t. You need to eat some more, now.”

“Get lost.”

“I mean it, Catherine Chase. You’re going to go get it and eat two slices. If you’re sick again, you’ll wait a while and eat two more.”

“What the fuck kind of medical advice is…” I lost my train of thought suddenly; the cake box I’d knocked off the coffee table catching my attention. “Yes, Nick.”

He sighed, satisfaction warming his tone when he spoke again. “You’ll meet me outside the pub to go out for dinner. Say eight o’clock. Wear a dress.”

“Eight o’clock,” I repeated, mentally rifling through my wardrobe for a suitable outfit.

“Good,” he said.

I could just tell he was smiling, I could hear it in his voice. I sighed as he hung up. The cake was still mostly intact. I straightened up the box up went to get a knife.

It had been so long since I’d had a real date. I wasn’t sure I had a dress that would be nice enough. I’d check once I’d eaten. A shiver of anticipation zinged through me. I had sexy underwear I was definitely going to be wearing. If I couldn’t find the right dress in my wardrobe I would go out and buy a new one. I wondered what Nick was going to wear. He’d look good in a suit. His scruffy musician look was a bit of a turn off, but…

I blinked. What was I thinking? It wasn’t a turn off. He had bad boy sex appeal with those ripped t-shirts showing off his pierced…

I burst out laughing. Putting the knife down on the counter, I tried to calm myself before I took it through to the living room. I had no idea why I was so hysterical. I could probably put it down to an empty stomach. I headed into the living room and cut the cake.

Kat had told me to take it away, that she didn’t want it sitting around her house calling to her when she was alone with it. I rolled my eyes. As if a tiny bit of cake would destroy her perfect figure. My concerns were less trifling. I only worried that this was technically breakfast, and it wasn’t exactly a great start to the day.
