Understood Him

Nic was scheduled late again. Since it was a Saturday and the busiest night of the week, there was more staff on. Even the kitchen was running behind cleaning up and closing. He didn’t care though, because it kept him there later without having to come up with an excuse as to why.

He could probably leave. Nic was going to his house after she was done as it was. Staying the night this time too. A few nights ago, she’d left shortly afterward. Said she needed to get home so her grandparents didn’t worry.

This time, she’d told them in advance. He still wasn’t sure what their reaction was to it all, but he’d find out later.

For now, he was content to finish putting everything away in the kitchen, and then he was going in to do some paperwork and look at schedules. To see if there was a way he could work it around Nic going with him to New York and still not having it stand out that she was actually out of work the same time as him.

It could work. He could have her scheduled on Sunday, then they could fly out that night. Monday and Tuesday could be her days off and she could work the night shift Wednesday. No one would think anything of it if she got two days off in a row. He’d done it before when writing the schedule.

He’d see if she was game for it tonight. She might say no. Might say it was too early.

He wouldn’t know if he didn’t ask. And he desperately wanted to ask.

A little before midnight, he knew he couldn’t stay any longer. They’d been pretty busy in the pub tonight and Nic was just starting to clean up. She’d be about ten minutes longer, he was guessing, since there were two of them working at the moment.

“Everything all set here?” he asked Nic and Bill.

“Got it covered, boss,” Bill said. “Nic here is a neat freak when cooking, so the place is half cleaned up already.”

Aiden smiled. “That’s a good trait to have, don’t you think, Bill?”

“Sure do. I’m going to try to figure out how she does it. Or maybe not,” Bill said, laughing. “It sure would get me out of here faster and home to my girl if I did though, huh?”

“Yes, it would,” Aiden said. “See you guys later.” He grinned at Nic, but no different than the grin he was sending to Bill, then walked out the door, knowing she’d be behind him shortly.

When he got home he showered quickly, then realized she’d want to do the same. Instead, he looked over at the big clawfoot tub he never used and wondered what she’d think if he had it all filled when she got here.

Before he could change his mind, he turned it on and wished he had some bubbles to pour in. Unfortunately, all he had was some body wash that his mother gave him years ago for Christmas. She was forever still filling their stockings up with little things like that that never got used.
