~Chapter 5 - the dance~
Around 7:30 or so Kat and I made our way down to Hobie Hall, where the dance was already started. When we walked up Brad and Travis were already standing there just getting to know each other while waiting for Kat and me.
"Well speak of the devil" Travis said as he smiled at me then came over and embraced me, oh it had been so long since I had his strong arms around me. Boy had I missed that. We stood there a moment, neither of us wanting to let go. I could tell he had missed it as well.
"ANYWAYS.." said Kat, obviously uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright, I get it Kat."
We four walked in and sat down at a table. We were talking when Ariane walked and saw Kat with Brad. Oh you should have seen her face, it looked like it was going to catch on fire. Dern, too bad it didn't. Brad and Travis offered to get us something to drink and we told them yeah, then Ariane walked over to us and sat down where Brad was sitting. "Watch your back Kathryn, I want him. And I WILL have him. No matter what. You can mark my words. He will be mine." Just after she had got the words out of her mouth Brad and Travis walked up. "Oh hey you must be Brad, I've been dying to meet you." She started. "Um ok, yeah I guess I could be Brad if that's who people want me to be today. But if you wouldn't mind, I would like you to be going now. Your in my seat, and unless you want to dance with my date, then I suggest you move." Her eyes narrowed and she had a death kill look on her face. She was not mad, she was not angry, she was not pissed, but she was BEYOND PISSED. I was sure she was going to try something by the end of the night. Oh well, as long as she didn't screw anything up with Kat and Brad or try to hurt Kat, she just might live to see tomorrow. We all just kind of sat there wondering what was going to happen next, then the first slow song came on.
"Well enough of this sitting around. Lets get out there and have some fun." Travis said smiling.. if he could only see inside me, I was jumping up and down.
After the slow song Travis leaned in and kissed me. That was the first time that Travis and I had actually kissed, before since we had never dated he hadn't ever kissed me. Kat saw and I knew she was just waiting for her turn.
Brad took Kat by the hand and led her outside, since it was starting to get a bit hot inside. Travis took my hand and we followed. We went over and lay down in the grass. I put my head on Travis's broad chest and he put his arms around me. Brad and Kat sat up and held hands and talked a little bit more, seeing how they had only met that morning.
The rest of the night we spent outside, just laying there looking at the stars, talking. The night went by fast and before we knew it the last slow song was playing. Travis pulled me closer because I was starting to shiver since it was cold out now. Brad, being like a whole foot taller than Kat had already enclosed her in his warm arms. She didn't look the least bit unhappy. And neither did I.
We got up and Brad took Kat's hand and Travis took mine and we headed back to the dorms. Since it was dance night, they let the boys be on the girls hall just to say goodnight, usually they don't let girls on guys halls/guys on girls halls for obvious reasons.not that any of us "band queers" would do anything of course.
Travis leaned in and kissed me. He made me remember all the wonderful times we had many years ago. Now I had found the guy for me. Not like stupid Brent, that pimp-O. "Travis?" I asked, "If Kat asks me if we are going out, can I tell her yes.if you haven't noticed by now, I want to go out with you. I wish that I hadn't been so stupid when I was younger, we could have been going out a long long time ago." "Yes Brittany, I like you a lot. If you want to go out with me, then here, let me make it a bit easier.." He leaned in and kissed me again, "Brittany, will you go out with me?" "Yes" I said laughing. "I'll see you bright and early tomarrow morning." He kissed me again. "And what if I go on strike and refuse to come to rehearsal?" "Do it and see what happens" I said jokingly. "Goodnight"
I went into the bathroom and pretended to be getting ready to go to sleep so I wasn't just sitting there while Brad was saying bye. I heard the door shut about 5 minutes later.
"Alright Brittany come on out, I know you were listening the whole time!"
"Dern! You caught me. You know what? Those stupid doors are almost sound proof!"
"Well Brit, I'm happy, I don't know about you, but from what I saw, I'm betting your pretty happy yourself!"
"YOU BET!"
*BANG BANG on our door* "Settle down girls, its time for lights out." Came the voice of Becky, our counselor for our floor.
"Alright! Night Becky!"
We settled down, got ready and got in our bunk beds. We talked for a while then both of us just drifted off into a deep sleep filled with wonderful dreams.
