My romantic story 4

December 24th, I remember this day especially as it was a big day for me and Patrick. it had been 4 months since i met him, he listened to me and he would never do anything to hurt me, at least, that's what i thought at this time, but no spoilers, you'll just have to wait for part 6.

"Are we allowed to do this?" He asks. I turn my head to look at Patrick on my left and say "We're just laying on the grass."
"Haha alright, you know it stinks that you have to work on Christmas eve."

I stare into his beautiful green eyes then i lean towards him and we kiss, not exactly passionately but certainly intimately, as we pull away i put my hand on the side of his head and say "I know, but you know this is the busiest time of the year."
"I know. Speaking of busy shouldn't you be checking on things?"

I sigh "You really do know how to kill a mood don't you?" i say laughing.
"Oh be quiet i just don't want you to lose your job."
"Oh please i practically run the place." i say smiling and standing up.
"So am i still coming over your house tonight for dinner?" Patrick asks while sitting up in the grass.

"Of course, unless your other boyfriend invited you to dinner." I say mocking him. He smiles at me looking annoyed. "Come on get up out of there." I reach my hand out and help him up and onto his feet. "Give me a hug before you go."
"Alright i'll see you later." He says as he embraces me and kisses me on the neck under my ear, chills are sent down my body like electricity and i grab onto him tight.
"I told you not to do that in public." i say with my eyes closed as i relish in my moment of ecstasy.

"Oh come on, you know you love it." as he says this i smile and pull out of our hug, looking into his eyes.
"Well, you've got me there now get going, you'll need to get ready for tonight, i'll see you there."
"Alright Nate, love you."
"Love you too Rick." i say going for one last kiss on the cheek. But he stops me before i can get to him.
"Ah, ah, no, you need to shave, sorry i didn't want to say anything." he says while cracking up.

"You know just for that-" i say as i thrust my face towards his and begin rubbing my cheek against his while holding onto the back of his head. And i begin to laugh because he is still laughing hysterically.
"Stop it! stop it! it tickles!" He says finally pushing me away "Go back to work you cave man." Still with a tone of laughter in his voice.

"Fine but that neck will be next, later tonight." i say joking with him and stepping back towards the door. Me and Patrick exchange one last smile and a hand wave before he disappears through the exit and i walk through the automatic sliding doors labeled "Liberty Mall Greenhouse."

I walk towards the door that says "Security and Management" but before i can get too close Jerry walks out, Jerry is a cute short guy that works in item shipment management. "Oh hey boss, the mall owner is here again he needs your help opening the safe."
"Again? that's the third time this month, oh well i'll see you around Jerry, and if i don't then merry Christmas."

"You too boss."

Opening the safe required two people present at the same time who would use two different codes that only they knew on opposite number lock inputs on the safe, if the codes weren't entered and the buttons weren't pushed within 2 seconds of each other, it would not allow you access, these two people happen to be the mall owner and the head of security/mall manager, which also happens to be me. The owner was hesitant when it came to hiring me, being so young and what not but after the robbery a year ago where i saved his life, he was more than happy to give me the job.
