It was a Friday night. Steve and Danny was at the bar counter when Catherine came in with some people. The group consisted of three women and seven men.
Steve saw her come in. She was dressed in a feminine suit, her hair was well-aligned, makeup well-made, and very smiling.
What is it, Steve? Why the stupid face? Danny asked, looking in the direction Steve was looking.
I don't believe. Catherine? Again? Danny asked.
Yes, it is her. And she looks beautiful. Steve said.
Oh no, Steve! She saw us. Danny said.
Catherine saw Steve and Danny, apologized to her friends, got up, and walked toward them.
Steve, Danny! It's good to see you guys here. Catherine said with a huge smile.
Hey, Cath. Steve said hugging her.
Steve, good to see you. I'm so happy, I wanted so much to tell you the news. Catherine said smiling.
Danny observed how Catherine's smile Bewitched Steve.
Stop, Catherine. Our girlfriends are coming. Please,don't cause problems. Said Danny.
Catherine was embarrassed by Danny talking to her like that.
Of course, Danny. I'm sorry, I do not want to cause any problems. Catherine said leaving.
Steve followed her and took her by the arm.
Cath, wait. Don't care about Danny. What did you want to tell me?
It's not important, Steve. Catherine said with a sad smile.
Of course it's important. If it made you so happy, it's important to me too. I want to see you happy. Tell me.
I left the CIA. And I was invited to join a Surveillance and Research company here in Hawaii. It's a company of the same kind as Billy's company. This company has branches in almost every state. I'm going to be partner at affiliate of Hawaii.
That's really great, Cath. I'm very happy for you.
Thanks.
Are you staying at any hotel?
Yes, I'm at the Hilton, but only until tomorrow. I'm going back to my house. I have a big cleaning to do tomorrow. The house has been closed for a long time. Catherine said.
Catherine watched as Lynn and Melissa entered.
Lynn saw Steve and Catherine talking.
Now go, Steve. Lynn just arrived. It was really good to see you. Goodbye.
Goodbye, Cath. It was good to see you too. Steve said.
Danny led Melissa and Lynn to a table. Steve noticed that he stood there looking at Catherine who had returned to her table.
Steve went to the table and sat down.
Hey! He said.
Hey! Lynn said leaning over for Steve to kiss her.
Steve kissed her quickly.
Hey, Melissa.
Hey, Steve.
What's Catherine doing here? Lynn asked.
She's with friends. Steve said.
Lynn was thoughtful.
Steve, let's get some beers. Danny said.
We'll right back. Steve said to Lynn and Melissa.
Danny and Steve went to the counter and asked for beer.
Danny, you had no right to talk to Catherine like that. Steve said.
After everything she's done, I have the right to talk to her any way I want. Danny said.
No, you don't have. Never more do that again. Steve said taking the beers and returning to the table.
Some time later, Catherine and her friends got up to leave. Catherine noticed that Steve was looking at her and waved at him.
I'm glad we're all here. I want to tell you guys that I'm pregnant. Lynn said.
What? Steve asked.
I'm Pregnant! Lynn said.
Steve choked on his beer and coughed hard.
Danny slapped Steve on the back so he could get better.
You're not pregnant! Steve said.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not. Steve said nervously.
Stay calm! Danny said to Steve.
He's very excited, Lynn. That's why he's reacting like this. Danny said.
He's not thrilled, Danny. He didn't like the news. I'm going home. Lynn said getting up and leaving.
Did you know that, Melissa? Danny asked.
No, Danny. She didn't tell me anything. Melissa said.
Go after her, Steve. She is pregnant, she can't be pissed. Danny said.
She's not pregnant, Danny. She's lying to me. That can't be true. Steve said.
You are in denial, my friend.
