"No way" Rick said to his friend Hayden. Rick said shooting the ball into the hoop.
"Why not?" Hayden said grabbing the ball and lining up to shoot.
"She calls me kitten and Ricky that's why"
"Okay so she's a bit crazy but you know what they say about crazy people in bed" Jayden said passing the ball to Rick.
"Alright I'll go on a date with Meredith" Rick said.
"I'll give you her number so you can call her"
"Alright now can we play basketball"
"Fine"

Rick took a deep breath as he rung Meredith number.
"Hello" She answered.
"Hi Meredith it's"
"Kitten" She cut him off and squealed.
"Are you busy tonight?"
"Yeah"
"Would you like to go to dinner?"
"Yes but make sure the place has a salad I can't gain any weight"
"Okay sure I will"
"Call me later when you pick out a place and a time"
"Will do Meredith"
"Bye Kitten"
"Bye" He sighed and hanged up the phone.

The next day Rick called Meredith when he found a place that serves salad.
"Hello"
"Hi Meredith I found a place that serves salad"
"Caesar?"
"Yes"
"Chicken with no crumbs?"
"I don't think so"
"What time?"
"7:30"
"Okay I'll see you at 7:30 Kitten I'll buy something special for me to wear"
"See ya tomorrow"
"Bye Kitten"

He couldn't wait to say I told you so to Hayden she was late it was past 7:30 it was nearly 8:30.
"Excuse me?" He asked a waitress walking past.
"Could I change my table for a seat at the bar"
"Your date didn't show Sir?"
"No she didn't"
"Drink and dinner on the house"
"Thank you"
"Your welcome Sir just take any sit at the bar"
"Thanks"

Ever since he walked into the restaurant his eyes found a beautiful brunette woman at the bar. He kinda hoped Meredith didn't show up so he could talk to her.
Rick stopped in his tracks as he saw a male go talk to her he was about to turn away but he saw her trying to push the man away.
"Honey sorry I'm late" Rick walked towards her when he reached her he kissed her temple.
"You must be a friend of my wife" Rick said to the man.
"Wife?" The man asked.
"Yes" Rick nodded.
"Sorry have a nice night" The man said to Kate.
The man walked away and then targeted a blonde woman across the room.
"Thank you" The brunette said behind him.
He turned around to look into her warm hazel eyes and her brunette curls framing her face.
"Your welcome may I sit with you or are you waiting for anyone?"
"I'm not and yes"
Rick sat on the bar stool next to her.
"Well I'm not a very good husband cause I don't know my wife's name" He joked.
Kate tucked her head trying to hide the redness in her cheeks and he could hear her little giggle.
"It's Kate and what would my husband's name be?"
"Rick"
"So you too?" Kate said to him.
"Yeah"
"I met this guy at a café but he didn't show"
"I don't know if the guy is a idiot or blind for standing up a beautiful woman like you"
"Your date has missed out a date with a handsome guy" Kate told him.
"What do you do Kate?"
"I just moved up to Homadace a month ago what about you"
"I just had my launch party for my book a month ago also"
"Seems last month was a good month for us both" Kate said.
"Well lets chose are meals" Rick said looking at the menu.
"The meals are very fancy" Kate said.
"There's a place down the road that has good burgers and milkshake do you want to go"
"Yes" Kate nodded.
/
"Thank you" Kate said to the man at the dinner.
Kate walked over to Rick who was reading a movie flyer.
"Jurassic Park is on tonight do you want to see?" Rick asked Kate.
"Yes I have wanted to see it"
"Okay let's go it starts in 15 minutes"
/
"I see you got the food" Rick said walking over with the ticket's to see Kate had brought a lot of food.
"Movies make me hungry" Kate told him.
"Okay let's go sit and wait"
Rick and Kate waited on a lounge while the movie ended in the cinema.
"So tell me about your book?" Kate asked.
"It's the first book in the Derick storm series"
"Derick storm I like that name"
"Thank you and spoilers so can't tell you much"
"I guess I will have to buy you a book"
"I could get you a signed copy" Rick said.
"Thank you"
"Looks like were going in" Rick said standing up as the doors opened.
/
"That was so the best movie ever" Rick said as they walked up to Kate's apartment.
"You've said that for the last five blocks" Kate giggled.
"Well It blew my mind" Rick said as they stopped at Kate's door.
"So does this count as a date?" Rick asked.
"I guess it does"
"So does that mean I can kiss you""
"Yeah I guess it does" Kate nodded.
Rick pushed a curl behind her ear and kissed her.
Moans realised from both their mouths as their lips met and their tounges danced.
