Off The Chain
It was 6:55 in the morning and my alarm was about to go off within five minutes, when my cell phone started ringing to the tone of My Love, by Justin Timberlake. I looked around for it, but I couldn't see it. I sat up rubbing my eyes tiredly and I literally fell out of my bed when I looked up to see it laying on my dresser. As I fumbled over to my dresser it stopped ringing. 1 Missed Call, is what is said as I picked it up and dialed 'my love' back.
“Good morning sunshine.” Nick says all cheerfully. “Good morning to you too.” I said in a half yawn. “Aw, that's cute Kate.” Nick responded back quickly. “What's cute?” I asked him raising my eyebrows. “Your scratchy tried voice,” I could hear the smile in his voice, “Anyway, I was calling to ask you if you have ever played hooky?” “Um, I think I have. Why, do you ask?” I questioned him. “Well, you’re going to today,” Nick answered cleverly.
“Oh, I am. Am I? Why, am I going to be doing this exactly?” I asked. “Because you have never really played hooky until you've played it with me!” He answered me in his most witty voice. “What?” I asked him confusedly. “I'm waiting outside for you!” He said as I walked over to my window and peeked out. Sure enough there he was sitting in his black Mustang, waiting for me in my front yard.
As soon as he saw me, he smiled and waved. “How long will it take you to get ready? I wanna take you out for breakfast,” he asked still looking at me through my window. “Um, twenty minutes. Is that okay? You can come in you know?” I offered. “Yeah, I could, but then what's the point in calling it hooky if your parents know you're with me?”
“Good point Nicky, but I am going to have to let them know anyway.. so come on in,” I said somewhat disappointing him. “Alright, fine.” he says getting out of his car. “I'll unlock the door, but then I am running to the bathroom.” I said warning him. “What? Why? Don't I at least get a hug? I've missed you,” he said trying to get me to change my mind. “No way. You can't see me like this.” I said unlocking the door and quickly running back down the hall. Still holding the phone to my ear as Nick says, “Cute pj's!”
“Gee thanks, Nick. Okay, time me. Twenty minutes. I can do this!” I said quickly gathering everything I needed into the bathroom. “Okay, I'll just sit here on the couch and wait for a whole twenty minutes for that hug I have waited much longer for.” Nick smiled right through the phone. “Okay, good,” I said hanging up the phone and quickly jumping into the shower.
When I finished getting ready I walked out into the living to join Nick. “Your 20 minutes late.” He informed me without any sign of a smile. “Aw, Nicky.” I say opening my arms for a hug, but Nick just sat there in silence. I waved my arms like a bird just standing there waiting for him to get up and hug me, but he just looked up at me and shook his head. “You owe me girl and a hug just wont to cut it.” He told me raising his left eyebrow cutely and curling the ends of his lips into a wide smile.
I sat next to him and tilted my head just a bit while squinting my eyes at him. “No?” I questioned. “No.” He repeated softly laying his hand under my chin and pulling my face over to his. My heart began to race and in a quick second I was relieved because he had only kissed my cheek. A sweet and gentle kiss on the cheek it was though. I blushed as he looked at me in a way he had never done before, but before I had the chance to think about what it meant he quickly sat up.
“Well, it's 7:45am and I think they quit serving breakfast at 9:00am so we'd better hit the road,” Nick said getting up and reaching his hand out to help me up as well. “Okay. Just let me make a note for my parents.” I said as I walked into the kitchen looking for a pad and pen. I quickly found one and made a short note explaining my plans with Nick for the day. Nick curiously walked over to see what I was writing. Peeking over my shoulder he began to read:
Good Morning Mom & Daddy,
He laughs. “What is so funny?” I ask as I continue to write. “Nothing.” He said quickly and started to read out loud again.
I'm spending the day with Nick. He's only going to be here for a short time so please don't be too upset about me….skipping school! Love you..
Love, Katie
Nick tapped my shoulder and said sarcastically, “Good job. Now lets get out of here!” “Okay. Okay. Let me grab my bag. I'll be right out,” I said walking back to my room. I grabbed my bag and hurried outside, locked the house door, and met Nick in his car. “I am ready to have the best day of playing hooky ever, Nicholas!” I said excitedly as I fastened my seat belt. “Good!” He winked over at me as he pulled out of the drive way….
