I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Abed's Point of View-
I made my way to the library closer to the time that Jeff wanted me to come. I got to the library seeing one light on inside and a figure moving around, I could only hope it's Jeff. I tried to open the door but it was locked, I knocked and the figure walked over to the door opening it for me.
"Thanks...how'd you get in here?" I asked sliding in and he shut the door making sure it locked once again.
"Don't worry about that...what are you wearing?" Jeff asked as I looked down at my outfit.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing...change into this." Jeff said pulling out one of his shirts, it was similar to the blue one he wore on Halloween for his cowboy outfit but it was purple.
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because Abed, that doesn't attract women, that does..." Jeff said pointing to the shirt I was now holding in my hand.
"Fine...I'm trusting you..." I said taking off my jacket, Jeff grabbed the two paper bags that were on the chairs walking them into the study group area and setting them on the table we sit at. I focused on changing my shirt, the sleeves were a little long on me and I didn't quite fill it out like he would but it was defiantly comfy. As I buttoned up the top two buttons as I walked into the study group seeing the one light still on, the table was mostly set. It had a baby blue table cloth barely covering the table but it covered it fully, in the middle was a crystal looking candle holder with three white tall candles that were being held in the holder, they weren't yet lit. They were two design plastic plates that looked classier even though you could tell they were obviously plastic along with two sets of silverware set out, one on one side of each plate on top of two napkins, they were placed in front of the seats that myself and Britta sit in. I watched as Jeff was scopping things onto the plate all so diligently making the plate look like I actually cooked it and a cuisine type way.
"Wow...is that take out?" I asked as I buttoned the last button tossing my original shirt on the back of Britta's chair then went to fix the cuffs.
"Yeah..but she won't know unless if she asks...this plate is...done..." Jeff said finishing that plate and moved to the one set in front of Brittas seat which was where I was standing.
"Do you have a lighter?" I asked as he stopped what he was doing, he had just barely put any on the plate so it wasn't like he was in the middle of doing it.
"Yeah..." He said ruffling through his pocket handing me an orange lighter, I walked around the table so I wouldn't mess up what he was working on. I leant in to light each candle individually, I was hoping that it wouldn't cause the smoke alarm to go off but I don't think they would. "If you don't mind me asking Abed, how far have you and Katrina gone?"
"I'm not quite sure what you mean..." I said as I went to light the second candle.
"I know you have kissed her, have you gone past that?" Jeff asked.
"Nah...I don't want to push it with her, I don't want to push her away or be too up front with her, don't girls get scared if you try to go too far too fast?" I asked curiously as I went to the third candle.
"They do, but they could also get frustrated if you don't make the move to go forward within so long." Jeff said, I stood back up from lighting the third candle resting my hands on the back of the chairs that Annie and Shirley sit in looking at Jeff who glanced up at me from the plate.
"What should I do Jeff?" I asked walking around the table as I spoke, "What if she is still mad at me? What do I talk to her about? What is the next step after kissing?"
"I don't think she's mad at you, I think she is just worried and frustrated with the script. Talk to her about anything besides the script and show, get her mind away from it, because the more she thinks or talks about it, the more she will get angry and frustrated. Do you know what a French Kiss is?" Jeff said.
"Okay...got'cha ya...isn't French Kiss the one where the tongue is involved?" I asked, I was sweating from nerves and it wasn't pretty.
"Yes, don't sweat it, you'll be fine...let me fix your hair there buddy..." Jeff said setting what he had in the paper bag running his hands through my hair ruffling it some, when his hands left my hair, he said "Perfect."
"What if she doesn't show?" I asked.
"That's not a problem..." Jeff said nodding and I heard a light knock at the door, I turned to see Katrina standing outside looking too beautiful for words, "Good luck buddy..." Jeff said grabbing my shirt off Britta's chair and slowly pushing me forward to go open the door for her, by the time I turned around he was already out the door, I realized he was like my Uncle Jesse from Full House, he's smooth with the girls, he is a player but yet he knows his romance. I slowly walked to the door pushing it open so she can walk in and I thought she was beautiful from where I was standing but when I saw her in the light my jaw dropped.
Katrina's Point of View-
Abed opened the door for me, and man he looked hot in that shirt, I knew it must of been Jeff's because that was for sure not in Abed's wardrobe, but he looked fantastic in it.
"Thanks." I said stepping into the library, it felt kind of awkward at first because I didn't know what to say.
"You look amazingly beautiful, not like you never looked beautiful but you look more..." Abed said as he started to ramble on about what he meant but I grabbed his forearm and interrupted him.
"I know what you meant Abed, and thanks, you look great youself." I said smiling as Abed looked down at his shirt and looked back up at me with a smile on his face.
"Dinner is waiting." Abed said sticking his arm out for me to hook with his and I rested my hand on his elbow gently and he led me into the study group area, it had the one light on with the candle light as well exposing the plates already made with looked to be a delicious meal. "Would you like me to turn the light above off or is it fine?" Abed asked.
"It's fine." I said smiling as he pulled out the one seat for me, I smiled at him and as I sat down he slowly pushed it in with me.
"You want me to take your coat?"
"No thanks, I can just rest it on the back of the chair." I said pulling my coat off and rested it over the back of my chair as he sat down beside me. "This look delicious..." I said looking at the chicken, fetticini alfredo and corn on my plate.
"It does huh?" Abed said as we both picked up our forks, he picked up his knife to cut his chicken, I went to pick up some of the alfredo but stopped myself.
"Abed...I want to say I'm sorry about yesterday...it just there is a lot on my mind about this whole script and everything...I didn't mean to fight with you or take it out on you." I said lowering my hand with the fork in it to my lap.
"Don't be sorry..." Abed said and I gave him that look and he immediately said, "No problem...look, I was being very non-understanding, I should understand that this must be very stressful for you and not push you about talking about it if you don't want to."
"Aw Abed, that was such a sweet thing for you to say, so your not mad at me about yelling at you?"
"Not at all..." Abed said smiling, I smiled back leaning forward hugging him and pecking him on the lips. I went back to picking up some of the alfredo onto my fork and eating it, it was more delicious than it looked, I was just worried that I went too far with kissing him, I'm unsure if we are even dating.
"This is delicious...did you cook this?"
"Kind of..."
"I don't want to hear the whole explanation...how did Troy handle the rats?" I asked curiously.
"He was fine until I came back into the room after calling after you scaring him causing him to knock the rat cage off in his spaziness of being frighten, so our rat got away..."
"Have you found it yet?"
"Not yet...I'm sure we'll find him soon enough." Abed said.
"I'm sure you will...we'll know if Troy finds him because he'll scream loudly."
"I don't know why he's afraid of rats so much..." Abed said.
"Yeah...I signed up for next week...couple of days before my break begins..." I said.
"Mine doesn't start until not tomorrow Thursday next Thursday, I got a midterm."
"We don't have a midterm in Science..." I said immediately thinking that.
"Not Science...I have Spanish, we have study group before it..."
"Oh...good luck with that..."
"Yeah...I'll need it. But we may have study group afterwards to kind of say last good byes before break." Abed said.
"That sounds cool."
"You should come by..."
"I don't know..." I said finishing my alfredo and he finished the chicken.
"Think about it..."
"I will..." I said as it went quiet and awkward again and I nervously ate at my corn. "My sister sent me more pictures of my niece."
"Aw...do you have them with you?"
"No...it's at my dorm...maybe you can come over and see them if you want?" I asked hoping he would say yes, I don't want to ask if we are still dating or not, but he didn't say anything earlier about the kiss so I'm guessing we are.
Abed's Point of View-
I started eating at the alfredo, I can only hope that this date will be called 'going good,' it seems as if it is to me.
"I would love to come over and see those pictures...I know I said I wasn't going to say anything about the script, but how did your family take you getting the role?" I asked in hopes she doesn't get angry.
"They are excited...they want to know who else is going to be in the show with me and if they know any of the other cast members, honestly I have no idea who else is in the show..."
"I would think they will tell you..."
"They may send me an email when it gets closer, I don't think they have finished casting yet, they told me they'll contact me in a month if they haven't heard from me...my parents want to come to the set and see me do my thing...my sister wants to bring the kids and I think that'll be good for them."
"But not before you take me right?" I asked jokingly.
"For sure...you'll be there everyday if you want..."
"And I just may be there everyday..." I said.
"Well besides when you have class..."
"Yeah...what are you going to do with your classes?"
"I have to talk to them and move it to online or do independant study type where I drop my work off and get new work over the weekend when I'm not filming..." She said.
"Or I can go get your work and return the work for you...if you don't mind..."
"It'll just be tests that I'll need to make up..." She said.
"Tests won't be hard...I'm sure the teachers will work with you and understand." I said.
"I hope so...I gave up my position in the drama club...I figured I won't be able to keep up with it with the show..."
"Yeah...plus they don't do much do they?"
"Not really...the meetings weren't that good..." Katrina said.
"Yeah...that's why I don't usually do clubs or groups..."
"I joined to meet new people and friends...and there wasn't many people in there and never got along with any of them..." Katrina said, we finished our meals and sat there chatting about anything, it'll lead from one conversation to another, and we didn't fignt. "How'd you get the library?" She asked.
"You don't want to know...I'm not quite sure myself...does this mean we are dating again?" I asked looking at the floor.
"Thank god you asked, I didn't want to be the one who asked."
"So...would you like to date me again?" I asked unsure of how to put it.
"I think it's, will you continue dating me? But yes..." Katrina said, I looked up smiling and we both leant in to kiss, she kissed me first and she broke the kiss for me to kiss her back, and I kept thinking to myself what Jeff said and decided I could try it, I kissed her back and tried my best at this 'French Kiss.' I slowly slid my tongue out of my mouth running it along her lips, I was shocked when her lips parted partially allowing my tongue to invade her mouth, I broke the kiss and stood up turning around running my hand through my hair.
"I can't do this..." I said.
"What?" Katrina said with confusion in her voice.
"Jeff said that maybe I should french kiss you since maybe it's time to continue but I don't want to push it with you...I don't know if you nor I am ready." I said resting my hands against the window, I glanced over seeing Jeff standing outside the study group listening to the whole thing, when he noticed I saw him, he slowly back away to give us our privacy.
"Abed...I'm okay to go to the next level...you could just ask..." Katrina said, I turned around scratching the top of my head.
"You sure?" I asked, she nodded and I slowly walked back to the chair sitting down.
"Take it slow..." Katrina said as we both slowly leant in until our lips met, this time she slowly and gently ran her tongue along my lips, it felt odd but good, I parted my lips allowing her tongue into my mouth and our tongues danced. After the kiss broke, I must say it was one of our longest kiss but it was quite enjoyable, I didn't want to wipe my lips from our mixed saliva but it felt like I needed to. "Wow...that was amazing..." Katrina said.
"It was huh?" I said smiling.
"You want to walk me back to my dorm and I can show you those pictures."
"Will do..." I said as I stood up blowing out the candles.
"Shouldn't we clean this up?" Katrina asked standing up grabbing her jacket, I turned to look out where Jeff ran out earlier and I could see him back at his spot peaking around the corner.
"Nah...the janitor will clean it..."
"Wouldn't we get in trouble?"
"Nah...don't worry about it." I said as I helped her put the jacket back on and I walked her back out of the library. "It got colder out here huh?"
"It is the first week of December, what did you think? Here..." Katrina said taking her jacket off, I put it on and wrapped it around both of us. We slowly walked back to the dorms and allowed ourselves in since it was now past 11, we are slow eaters and chatting.
