The Senator's Vote - Page 10/36

I walked out and grabbed my purse out of the bottom drawer of my desk, slipping the note inside. As I waited for Keith to go over the plans with Jeff, I shut down my system and then headed to the elevator. Keith met up me with as the elevator doors opened.

We stepped inside and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed the side of my face. I leaned back against his chest and smiled as I put my arm over his.

"Sorry," he murmured. He reached out and pressed the key.

"Not your fault, babe, it's the job. It was a good idea to set the wedding late in the day."

"It was wasn't it? We'll thank Mom later." He took his hand in mine. "We'll make it you know. The two of us can stop the terrorists in no time."

"We're that good, save the day in the morning and get married later that night," I joked and he laughed softly.

The elevator opened up in the parking garage, and we walked arm in arm to our silver Saturn.

I dug in my purse for the keys, found them and unlocked the door. Keith opened my door for me and suddenly the exhaustion of the day hit me and it felt good to sit down. I reclined the seat a little and then leaned over to unlock Keith's door.

He walked around and then got inside the car. He fastened his seatbelt and I fastened mine as I handed over the keys. He started the car. "Okay takeout and a night in."

"Sounds good."

"Chinese, pizza, or burgers?"

"Chinese." I smiled at him and he turned left out of the parking lot towards our favorite Chinese restaurant. I glanced at my watch 10 pm. Time had just flown by. "You know I was thinking even if I have to borrow a helicopter from work. I'll get us to that park."

I laughed. "That's sweet, babe. But I don't want my future husband going to jail for borrowing a helicopter."

"Well the offer stands."

"I'll keep it in consideration." I smiled at him.

"Good." He looked over at me as we stopped at a red light. "Seriously, sweetheart everything is ready, we just have to get there."

"I know. I just got a little stressed earlier, thinking about driving there, getting ready, and making sure that nothing goes wrong. All that piled on with work was a bit much."
