Chapter 2 Katie and Chuck's date
A few short days later after Katie first met Chuck she was starting to think about him while she was at work, walking her dogs and during her other daily activities. Chuck was the same way and kept staring at Katie's number on his phone. "I wonder if I should call or text Katie? If I do what do I say?" Chuck thought to himself as he was too nervous to do anything. Katie was feeling the same way because she kept staring at Chuck's number on her phone. "Ok man up Chuck. Katie is a nice girl and you want to get to know her so just freaking call or text her!" Chuck said to himself as he finally developed enough courage to call Katie on the phone. As the phone was ringing Chuck began to panic a bit and before he could hang up Katie answered her phone and began talking, "Hello? Anyone there?" Chuck started getting even more nervous as he began talking, "Um Hi Katie this is Chuck. We met the other day when I crashed my bike on the taxi." "Yes Chuck I remember you, how are you?" asked Katie. "I'm fine Katie how are you and your dogs?" said Chuck. "I'm fine and so are Max and Duke" answered Katie.
After that there was a bit of silence as Chuck was trying to ask Katie out but didn't know how to get the right words out so he said, "I don't normally crash into taxis or anything else just to let you know." Katie started laughing as she told him, "Well that's good to know and I'm glad that you weren't hurt." "Um Katie… I… I was wondering if you would like to join me for an activity" Chuck blurted out as he was having a hard time saying the word date. "An activity you say? What kind of activity if I may ask?" asked Katie. "I was thinking you and me can go get some food together and maybe eat it together if you want to" answered Chuck as he thought, "why did I say activity instead of date?" "Yes Chuck I would love to join you for an activity of eating food together with you. There is this nice restaurant I know that serves amazing food if you want to try it" Katie suggested as Chuck agreed with Katie on where to go out for food. Katie told Chuck where the restaurant is and they set up a time to meet up.
When Katie and Chuck hung up they both did a silly happy dance because they couldn't believe they were going out to dinner tonight. While Katie was getting ready for her date with Chuck Max and Duke were wondering where was Katie going? "Max Duke what do you think of my dress?" Katie asked her dogs. Max and Duke barked in agreement that Katie looked pretty but wondered where she was going. "I'm glad you guys like it. I hope Chuck likes it too" Katie told her two dogs. "I'll see you boys later be good." After Katie left for her date with Chuck Duke said to Max, "Wow Katie is going out on a date with that Chuck guy the three of us met the other day." "Yeah she is. Do you think she'll have a good time?" asked Max. "I believe so Chuck seems like a nice guy and they seem to like each other" Duke said to Max. While Duke and Max waited for Katie to come home Katie arrived at the restaurant at the same time as Chuck who was dressed very nicely. "You look really pretty tonight Katie" Chuck told Katie as he complimented her. "Thank you Chuck and you look really nice as well" replied Katie as the two of them went inside the restaurant together. Katie and Chuck sat down and stared at each other because they weren't sure what to say. "So Chuck what do you do for a living?" Katie asked after a few minutes of awkward silence. "I'm a coach but I also like to play sports such as hockey and football and I like surfing" answered Chuck. "What do you do for a living Katie?" "I work at the animal shelter where I adopted Duke but I also play the Cello and I've won a musical competition. In other words, I'm also a musician" Katie said to Chuck who was impressed by what Katie does for a living.
Katie and Chuck ordered their food and while they were waiting Chuck said, "Katie when I was asking you to do an activity with me I meant to say…." "You mean date? I know silly and I'm glad you did because even if you did say date I would have still said yes" Katie said to Chuck who was relieved to hear it. "Oh wow that's great because it's been a while since I've been on a date with a beautiful girl" Chuck told Katie making her smile and ask, "you think I'm beautiful?" "Of course I do and I wasn't sure if a beautiful girl like yourself would be interested in going out with a guy like me who hasn't had much luck with the ladies" Chuck pointed out. "To be honest with you Chuck I haven't been on a date in years and you're not a bad looking person yourself. I was hoping you would ask me out" exclaimed Katie as she started blushing. Chuck was blushing as well because he couldn't believe Katie wanted him to ask her out. Their food came and the two of them enjoy their meals while they still continued to get to know each other. When the bill came Chuck paid for their meals. "Want to walk around before I escort you home?" Chuck offered. "I would like that" answered Katie as she and Chuck left the restaurant together and went for an evening walk around the City.
As the two of them were walking together Chuck was trying to figure out what to say to Katie. "So Katie if you want would like to come to one of my football or hockey games?" Chuck asked her. "Sounds fun I think I would enjoy seeing you in action" replied Katie. "That's awesome I'll let you know when is my next game" Chuck said excitedly as he couldn't wait for Katie to watch him in action. After the enjoyable evening Chuck and Katie had together Chuck walked Katie home as promised. "Tonight was fun and Chuck if you ever want would you like to join me and my dogs for our walks?" Katie asked. "Sure that would be nice. Do you think your dogs would like me? Said Chuck. "I think so" said Katie. "Especially after how Duke greeted you after you crashed." Chuck couldn't help but laugh at what Katie said and wished her a good night before heading home. Katie went up to her apartment where Duke and Max were waiting for her to come home. They started barking happily as Katie walked into the apartment. "Katie you're home!" The two dogs barked happily. "Hey boys how are you both doing?" Katie said as she greeted her dogs and told them about her date with Chuck. "I had a good time with Chuck tonight and I really like him. I plan on having Chuck join us on one of our walks. What do you say to that?" Max and Duke barked in agreement as they thought it would be fine to have somebody joined them on their walk.
Author's Note: For anyone out there who read the first chapter of Katie and Chuck's Love Story who saw a bunch of random numbers, letters and symbols making it impossible to read. I have no idea how that happened. When I went to see how my story looks on the website I was really confused at what I saw. I managed to fix the problem and sorry for any confusion. Hopefully this doesn't happen again as I want all of my fans to enjoy what I write. One more thing as for what Katie and Chuck do job wise I don't know what they do so I just made it up. But the parts where Chuck being into sports and something about Katie having a Cello in her apartment according to what I looked up about the characters are true. Please stay tune for my next update. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
