Chapter 2-

Kay had just gotten off work, and walked into the supermarket. Her job as an assistant to the famous photographer Jenni Lysin paid good money. Jenni had quickly became Kays best friend after she moved here. Jenni had lived for two years, and had helped Kay find an apartment and everything. Jenni had tried more than once to get Kay to model for her pictures, but Kay said no. The last thing Kay needed was to be on the cover of a magazine, and have her family recognize her and know where she was. That would ruin everything. Kay was so into her thoughts that she didn't notice the man in front of her, and ran her cart right into him.

"Ouch!"

"Oh, I am so sorry! I didn't realize that you were standing there. I am so sorry!"

Kay gasped as the man turned around to face her, and it was none other than the bartender from last night. He smiled.

"Hi. I didn't expect to run ointo you. Or in this case, for you to run into me."

"I'm so sorry about that."

"It's no big deal."

"Still, I am so sorry! Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Tony took this as a sign from the God in heaven.

"Yeah, actually, there is."

"Really? Great! So what is it?"

"Come to dinner with me tonight."

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight. Unless you already have plans."

"No, I don't have any plans. But it would help if I knew your name."

"Tony . And you are?"

"Uh, Kay."

"Well, Kay, do you want to give me your address?"

Kay gave him her address, and he said he would pick her up at seven.

"See you tonight Kay ."

"Ok, see you tonight Tony."


Kay was really excited about her date with Tony. She even called Jenni to come over to and help her find something to wear.

"Ok, you don't want anything to casual, but not to dressy. You want something sexy, but not revealing."

They had been going through Kays closet for the past half hour. Everything she owned seemed wrong for the occasion.

"What about this?"

"No! That's horrible!"

"I'm suprised you're going out with him. I mean, happy, but suprised."

"Why?"

"Come on! You know you haven't gave any guy the time of day since you moved here!"

"That's not true!"

"Yes, it is!"

"Ok, so it is. I just don't want to get hurt again."

"Well, just promise me you'll at least give this guy a chance."

"I promise."

"Good. What about this?"

"No."

"Kay! He's going to be here in an hour. you haven't even got dresses, done you hair, makeup, or nails yet! And I have never known you to do all that in less than an hour."

"I know! But I don't have anything to wear!"

"What about this?"

"No, that's, hm, that's perfect!"

"Thank God!"

Kay quickly put on the saphire blue mini skirt and black 3/4 sleeve top with a pair of black strappy sandals.

"It's perfect! Thank you so much Jenni!"

Kay quickly did her hair and makeup, and was finishing her nails when the intercom came on.

"Let him come up, Henry."

Henry was the doorman at the apartments where Kay lived, he was about sixty, and really nice. He was one of Kays first friends when she moved here.

"Hi!"

Kay said as she opened the door.

"Hey."

Tony almost had a heart attack when he saw her. She looked gorgous!

"Um, come on in. I'm almost ready. Just let me grab my purse."

She was suprised when they got to his car and he opened the door for her. They went to dinner first.

"So, tell me about yourself, Kay."

"Well, there isn't really much to tell."

"Oh, come on, there has to be something. Ok, why did you move here?"

"Well," Kay said, sipping her martini, "I wanted to get a life. I wanted to be free. So after a year of college, I moved here. I just wanted to be free. I transferred to UCLA, and I'm
going to be a pshycologist for teens. And when I'm not in school, I work as a personal assistant for a photographer."

"And in your spare time you go to grocery stoers and run people over with your cart. Right?"

Kay was laughing to hard to speak. Finally, she was able to talk.
"Yeah, I suppose so. Now what about you?"

"Hmmm, well, I moved here several years ago with my father, and I went to UCLA for a while, I was going to get my degree in law, but when papa had to have surgerey, so I quit school and got a job."

"That's horrible! Is your father ok?"

"Yeah, papa pulled through. He's a fighter, so I knew he'd make it."

"That's great. So are you going to go back to school?"

"I hope so."

"I hope you do, too."

"You know, this is going to sound like a line, but it's not. I feel like I have known you all my life. There is something really familiar about you."

"Normally, I would say that is a line, but I feel the same way about you."

"Really?"

Kay was about to reply when the waiter came with their orders.

"This looks so goo, Tony. I love this resturaunt."

"I'm glad you like it."

Throughout dinner they laughed and had a great time. When it came time for the kiss goodnight, they were both suddenly nervous.

'This is so stupid! I shouldn't be nervous! It's just a little kiss, that's all!' Kay thought.

Tony was thinking almosst the same thing. 'She's just a girl. No need to be nervous!'

Kay saw that Tony wasn't going to initiate the kiss, so she decided to do so.

The kiss was light, but it was magical. Tony could feel the softness of her lips, he could smell the sweetness of he breath, and he knew right then that this girl was special. They said goodnight when the kiss was over, but Tony was already planning on calling her tomorrow and ask her out again.
