Chapter 10: The Date

Well, that week went by really fast for Katie and Brian. They kept in touch and looked forward to the coming weekend. That weekend being Labor Day weekend, Katie's sister and her husband were going out of town to go visit with his family in Kentucky. Tabitha had asked Katie if she'd like to watch her house and take care of her cat and ratweiler while they were gone. Katie agreed, and then made plans with Brian as to where to meet for the movies.

"I have to watch my sister's house this weekend and take care of her cat and dog, so I may be a little busy, but I'm not missing our date! Oh and Mom and dad said it's all right if we go to show!" Katie told Brian over the phone the night before their date.

"O.k., where does your sister live?" Brian asked.

"She lives on Elmwood Ave." Katie replied.

"Oh! I live on Sheldon! Just one street down!" Brian exclaimed.

"Really? Cool! I'll meet you there! It's Just north of Illinois Ave, number 728. I'll just have mom and dad drop me off early and then pick us up!" Katie suggested.

"O.k., sounds good! I'll see you tomorrow at 6:30 then."

"Great, see you then! Bye!" Katie finished.

"Bye, Katie." Brian said as he hung up.

Then next day went by as a blur, and Katie was excited as she sat at her sister's house watching the TV with her sister's cute little kitty sitting on her lap and the dog on the couch next to her. She tried to keep herself calm. She didn't know what it'll be like being with him in the show. She couldn't believe this was happening. She had liked Brian for so long, and here she was, waiting for him to show up. She hopes the date will go off without a hitch when the doorbell rings, catching her off guard.

Katie hopped to the door and answered with a smile, "Hi!"

Brian stared at her as she stood at the door wearing a pretty white summer dress with red flowers on it. She had her hair up in a long ponytail, and she had a little make up on her cheeks and her eyes. The dog was huge, but she was able to get him away from the door.

Brian didn't know how long he stood there before he responded with, "Uh, Hi! Sorry, I lost my mind for a second."

Katie tried not to laugh, but her cheeks blushed as she remembered that she had gotten all dressed up, and he was just wearing a pair of jean shorts and a wolf t-shirt that she had seen him wear many times.

"Oh! Sorry, c'mon in!" Katie said as she opened the screen door for him.

"Oh, is there somewhere I can keep my bike?" Brian asked as he pointed out towards the garage door.

"Oh, yeah. Let me open the garage for you." Katie said as she walked through the kitchen and into the garage to push the button.

Brian then wheeled his bike and laid it against the inner wall and they both walked up to the button as Katie pushed it and they walked into the house.

"Would you like something to drink? Something to eat?" Katie offered.

"Is there pop?" Brian asked.

"Sure!" Katie piped when she walked to the fridge and Brian stood there petting Zeke and thinking about how he'd never thought he'd get this chance to be in the same house with her.

When she handed him his Coke, and grabbed one for herself, they went into the living room and sat down on the couch. They both took sips of their pops and then set them down on the table in front of them and then turned towards each other.

'Gosh, how I've hoped for this...to be with her...no one in the way...What is it about her that I'm so drawn to?' Brian thought to himself as Katie just looked into his eyes smiling.

"So, which house do you live in? Is it just around the corner?" Katie asked as Brian was suddenly awakened out of his trance by her question.

"No actually. I live on Sheldon, but it's closer to the high school." He replied as she looks at him confused.

"Oh, I thought you lived just on the other side of the street!" Katie said as she laughed at her mistake.

Brian laughed to, as he realized where she actually meant. 'Gosh I love her laugh, I gotta tell some jokes...But which ones...'

"So, when can I see where you live?" Katie asked as he looked at her and said, "Uh, soon. I guess."

He had this look on his face that made her think she had said something wrong. 'I wonder what's wrong with that question? Maybe I'll go on to something else...'

"Hey, What do ya call a black guy on a bike?" Brian asked, confusing Katie for a second.

"Huh?" Katie asked.

"It's a joke, what do you think the answer is?" He said.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Katie replied laughing at herself again as she tried to think of a good answer.

"Give up?" He asked, and she shook her head saying, "I have no clue."

Brian leans towards her on the couch, coming to within a foot of her face and smiles. Katie leans back a tad wondering what he's doing when he says, "A thief."

Katie sits there for a split second and just takes in the look on his face and realizes that he had just given her the answer. Katie then starts laughing really hard and Brian laughs along with her. "More! That was great! You know any more jokes? I love jokes!"

"Ok, let's see...Whatta ya call it when you get a bunch of black guys jumping out of a plane?" Brian asked as Katie just sat there and thought for a second.

"I don't know."

"Night." Was the simple reply, and that's all it took to get Katie rolling.

"Ok, I got one!" Katie shouted as she smiled ear to ear..."What does a roll of toilet paper and the Starship Enterprise have in common?"

Brian sat there and watched Katie smile at him while he tried to find the similarity. "Hmmmm, couldn't tell ya." Brian replied. Then Katie started laughing.

"They both fly around Uranus looking for Klingons!"

Brian just sits there and stares at her and then as he figures it out and laughs, "I love Star Trek! That was a good one! Where did you hear that one?"

"My dad heard it from a friend, I guess." Katie replied as Brian asked, "you like Star Trek?"

"Yeah! I like both the new and the old!"

"Me too, but I like the Next Generation better though." Brian said.

Suddenly, a vehicle pulled up in the driveway, catching the attention of the two teens. Katie stood up to look out the window to see who it was and saw it was indeed her parents. She mentioned it was time to go and Brian stood up and Katie grabbed her purse off the table and turned the lock before closing the door as they left the house for their first date.

The teens climbed into the back of Katie's parent's 1984 Suburban and then they were off. Katie introduced Brian and her parents as they drove to the movie theatre. Katie was nervous, but excited. She never thought she'd actually get the chance to go on a date with Brian. They talked all the way to the next town where Countryside Theaters was, and they went and got their tickets. Katie's parents thought it was cute how they were still going on their date, even though neither of them knew how to drive.

Katie's parents decided to see the movie Nine Months while the teens went to their theater to see Mortal Kombat. Katie and Brian liked the fact that they were alone, and in the dark. It felt cool knowing her mom and dad weren't there to see them watch the movie. The movie was cool. Katie was surprised by the fighting. She had never seen fighting like that before, and she got scared a few times. She especially didn't like the guy that had the snakes coming out of his hands.

Brian enjoyed being in the dark next to the girl he had missed so much during that long summer. She was so animated in her reactions, and she got so into the movie that she even grabbed onto his arm a few times out of fright. Yeah, definitely the perfect movie to bring her to on their first date. when she latched on to his arm the second time, he reached his arm around her shoulders and held her close as the two characters battled it out in the arena.

Once the movie came to an end, the teens walked out into the lobby and waited for Katie's parents to come out so they could leave. As they waited, Brian noticed the Neo Geo machine next to the door and decided to pull out some change. Katie watched Brian with intrigue as he asked her if she wanted to play.

"No, I'll just watch you, I don't know how to play Bubble Bobble." Katie replied as Brian walked up to the machine and threw in the change. 'This should be interesting...' Katie thought as she watched him work the controls.

Brian played for ten minutes when Katie's parents came out of the movie and they walked up to the teens as they were entranced in the video game. Katie's mom tapped Katie on the shoulder and gestured towards the bathroom with a smile on her face.

"I'll be right back, Ok Brian?" Katie asked and Brian shook his head as he concentrated on his game, Katie's dad intrigued by what Brian was doing.

"So, how'd it go? Was the movie good? Any funny business?" Katie's mom asked with a smirk.

"Everything went great. I don't think the movie's up your alley, mom, but he was a perfect gentleman." Katie replied as she found a stall and closed the door.

Once the ladies came out of the restroom, they all left the lobby and trekked off through the crowded parking lot to the truck. The ride home was filled with talk about the two movies and how they enjoyed them and how much fun it was that they had done that.

While Katie's mother rambled on about the strange things that went on in the movie, Brian looked over her way. Katie noticed out of the side of her left eye, and she turned her face towards Brian and smiled. He smiled at her and then she felt something touch her hand. She looked down to see Brian grab her hand and hold on to it. Just the touch of his hand sent tingles up her arm and to her spine, leading all through her body. Just that simple gesture had thrown her such sensations she had never felt before. Yeah, she had held hands with her other boyfriends, but this felt different for some reason.
