The dinner table was quiet,"you two are awfully quiet, did something happen?" Jim spoke out," no", they both said at the same time both keeping their head down.
"Have you seen your group of friends?" Martha asked Rick,"yeah, I saw them today at the beach", "did you go Kate?", Jim asked," no I went running, just to clear my head".
"I'm full", Rick said, Kate looking up at him," upstairs", Rick mouthed to her, she nodded back, Rick stood up and went upstairs, a couple of minutes later Kate went upstairs.
"Rick?" she called out when she reached the top of the stairs, Rick's door opened and Kate went in and closed the door.
"We need to talk about the near kiss","yeah we should before it gets any more awkward"," we were just playing around right?" Rick asked,"yeah, if we had kissed it would have meant nothing", Rick nodded," right?", Kate asked," no".
"Do you think we should, just to see if it meant anything?" Rick asked," I guess we could".
They both leaned in to kiss each other, he cupped her cheeks.
"Do you think they are you know?" Jim asked," dating?", Martha asked,"yes","do you want me to check on them?", Martha suggested," please", Jim answered.
When Martha walked in she saw, her son and Kate kissing.
they two broke apart right away," we can explain", Rick said," well explain away", Martha said
"Kate and I did see each other at the beach, I asked her to hang out with me and my group we were playing around and I landed on top of Kate and I don't know why but I went to kiss her till Ryan broke it off and the kiss you saw just then was to see if it would mean anything to us"," and did it?" Martha asked.
They both looked at each other, puzzled on what the other person was thinking.
Did it mean something to him? Kate thought in her head.
Did it mean something to her? Rick thought in his head.
