To say that Kyle was nervous about his date tonight might have been a bit of an understatement. It was kind of odd considering how comfortable he felt around Kaylee all ready. Still, he had all the tale tell signs. A sweaty palm, butterflies in his stomach, and his mouth was pretty dry. He had seen her in coveralls and she had been beautiful. He, understandably, was looking forward to what Kaylee would be wearing tonight.
He’d done his best to clean the interior of the car. The upholstery needed to be redone but with some creative input he had made it look at least presentable. His apartment had only received a once over as far as cleaning went. He’d been too busy in preparing himself to do more. A shower and clean shaven face always did wonders for Kyle. He knew he’d be meeting the captain of the ship, who from all descriptions, sounded like an interesting person. Well, an interesting person with a gun.
The car (in large part due to Kaylee) was running as smoothly as could be anticipated. He did want to take her out to dinner, which was the cliché part of the date that he would happily oblige in. After that? He had a few surprises in store. He wanted their first date to be something she wouldn’t be forgetting any time soon.
It was with all of that in mind that he made his way back to Serenity. He’d really only gotten a glimpse of it when he dropped her off but the ship looked like it had character. Honestly he was looking forward to hearing about it. He’d lived on different planets, been to different galaxies, but it still interested him. What kid hadn’t looked up at the stars before and been completely enthralled?
The trip there seemed longer because all of the thoughts bouncing around in his mind. His first date since breaking up with Jennie; pretty big step considering he had wanted to give up on women all together for all of five minutes. Kyle got out of his car and made his way to the drop bay. At least he thought that was what it was called.
