Willow, Buffy and Cat were heading back from the church and were discussing guys and reveling in how embarrassed Parker was going to feel when the priest finds him! Willow and Buffy decided to head home, "We have to finish Walsh's latest paper, we aren't all sucks like you!" Willow said glad someone was around who studied as much as she did. Cat stuck out her tongue at Willow, "Well it would be shame to waste this outfit, I will head over to the Bronze and see who is around."
The Bronze was on the way so Buffy and Willow left Cat at the front entrance and continued home. Cat made her way inside headed to the bar and ordered a beer. After a couple it was clear no one was going to ask her to dance, maybe the outfit was scaring them off.
Just then Forrest and Graham came in the door practically dragging Riley in with them, "I don't want to be here, I still have my hangover from last night and besides I have papers to grade."
Forrest was prepared to ignore him right up until the papers comment, "You do not that is excuse you use, I have heard it a 100 times. Come man and look around for her, if she's here you won't miss her let me tell you!"
"You told me that part already. You also told me she was with Parker', Riley stopped for a second to order a beer, "if he is true to form she isn't here, not if she was wearing what you said she was wearing." Riley had said he didn't need the beer but with the way his mind was working he knew he would. Then he spotted her by the door.
Cat had hung back waiting to see how Riley would react to see her. After the other night she knew he would not be impress, and remembering her outfit she figured he would freak. They continued staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity. But that was broken when Forrest walked up to her and asked her to dance, almost as if he had planned it a slow song started. As Cat and Forrest danced he was able to talk to her, "What the hell is going on girl?"
"I don't know what you mean Forrest?" Cat smiled up sweetly
Forrest shook he head, "Girl, don't give me that! What's all this about?" he indicted her outfit.
Cat shrugged, "It was just a favor I did for a friend, no big deal."
"Well it is a big deal to every man here, you must know that. Or did spending so much time with Finn, make you slow too?" Forrest hadn't wanted to be rude but he had to make her understand. "So this outfit has nothing to do with your Farm-boy over there?"
"It didn't but if your trying to tell me it makes a difference to him, I would have to call you a liar. He made himself clear the other night." Cat put her head down on Forrest chest, "So if you want to dance, dance if not let me know. I was on my way home anyway."
Forrest kept his mouth shut for the rest of the dance, what could he have said anyway. He didn't know if Riley was still interested in Buffy Summers or if he planed of chasing after his old friend. Only one way to find out. After the danced ended he dragged Cat, literally, back the table Riley and Graham had found.
Cat resisted sitting down at the table, instead she looked Riley square in the eye and said, "So, did you want to dance?"
Riley thought he might get the same chance Forrest had to talk to Cat so he said yes, but as they moved to the dance floor the song registered in his mind. It was a fast song, Oh God but before he could change his mind Cat grabbed him and before he knew it they were dancing to Jordan Knight's "Give it to You"
"I am going to stick out like a sore thumb" Riley muttered. As he held Cat he realized he wasn't the only 'one' sticking out. If she came any closer she would be able to feel his arousal
