"Hey! Batai right?" Tony grabbed Batai's hand and pumped it. The group of high schoolers asked Cassie about the three, especially since they seemed to be so much older. Cassie hadn't had a great answer. She'd just said something about them being family friends who'd just moved to the States.
"Yes, that's right" Batai answered, "And you are Tony?" Tony nodded. Cass showed up to give Batai his bowling shoes.
"What's wrong with my shoes?" he asked.
"Nothing. You just have to wear bowling shoes when you go bowling." Cass answered. One of the first things Cass had done was take the Tok'ra shopping for civilian clothes. It hadn't been an easy task, they were very picky.
"You've never been bowling before?" Rob asked.
"No. We don't have bowling where we come from" Lor told him.
"Come on" Jess and Allie both offered, "We'll teach you!"
"We'll go get some sodas!" Cassie told them and while her friendstaught Lor, Batai and Greg the main point of bowling, she and her "cousin" went off to get drinks.
"Cass, I can't get this one. Will you get it?" Cassie indicated the last drink on the counter.
"My hands are just as full as yours" Cass replied.
"No, I mean will you GET it"
"Oh, Yeah. I got it" The drink miraculously stayed balanced ontop of Cassie's tray as they made their way to their lane.
"Hey, Cass" Rob cried, "Your friends are pretty good for not having every played before!"
"Yeah, well, they pick things up quickly" Cass answered.
"No kidding!" Cassie laughed quietly beside her. The night progressed nicely until they were almost done with their games. Cass came out of the bathroom and was about to make a call to her parents, figurativly speaking, when Tony walked up. Cass's senses perked up. He stood so close that he blocked her "escape" route and blocked the group's view of her. She wasn't worried. She could over power the star football player easily, and if nothing else she could "shout" for help.
"Hey, Cass" he said, drawing a bit closer, "Ya know, I've got my ferrari. It only fits two people"
"Yeah, I saw it. Sweet car" she replied, taking a step back from Tony.
"I thought maybe you'd wanna ride with me to the theatre" he offered. Cass held back a small chuckle. She could feel the smugness in him, and knew he would have a coniption fit if he knew she thought of him more as one of her little sister's friends than a peer.
"Well, that's nice Tony, but...uh..."
"She's riding with me" a firm voice said from behind Tony. Greg was a good head taller than Tony and Cass could feel the embaressment and intimidation building up in Tony. He reached past the boy and grabbedher hand, pulling her out of her cornered position.
"Did you call your parents?" he asked tenderly, while still giving Tony a withering look. The question startled Cass. Either Greg had utilized his hard and new won knowledge more competently than she would have given him credit for, or her father had had a little talk with her "pupils".
"No" she answered sweetly, "I didn't get the chance"
"Well, come on, you can call in the car" he replied and they started walking away, her hand still encased in his.
"Thanx" Cass said when they were out of ear shot.
"No problem" Greg answered, somewhat surprising Cass again. He threw a glance over his shoulder to see Tony glaring after them. He slipped his arm around her waist as they made their way to the door, making a small butterfly flutter in her chest. His arm was a warm ring around her torso, spreading up into her cheeks. The cold night air did it's best to disspell the effect as the rest of their group poured out. Cass took a silent moment to notify her father that they were on their way to the movie theatre. When she released the link, she heard Cassie's paniced emotions calling out to her. She turned slightly and saw Tony talking to her, near his car.
Fray? What's wrong? Cassie couldn't actually push her thoughts to Cass, but they were plain enough to read.
He wants to know if you and Greg are together!
Yes, tell him yes! Cass instructed her friend. She could feel the relief in Cassie as she delivered the verdict.
"Cassie is telling Tony that we're dating" Cass informed Greg. He looked over at the two and got a little closer to Cass.
"Perhaps I should stay close then" he said, "For the creditability of the ruse" Cass smiled at his reversion to formality. Lor and Batai joined them then and Cassie managed to pull herself away from Tony.
"Maybe it's a good thing you don't socialize too much Cass" Cassie told her friend, "If that's the effect you're going to have on all guys!" The duo laughed, quite leaving the other three out, and they all climbed into the car.
Cass payed little attention to the movie, with Greg's arm around her shoulders. She was quiet all the way back to the Mountain too. Only the night guards were on duty as Cass escorted the trio to their rooms while Cassie waited in the car.
"Night guys. I'll see you tomorrow" she smiled tiredly at them and turned to leave.
"Cassie" At Greg's call she turned around. Lor and Batai had already retreated to their rooms.
"I had a good time tonight" he started, "Being your courtier was.....nice" Cass didn't even have the urge to laugh at his choice of words.
" Yeah it was" she replied softly.
"Do you think you might want to go out again.....just you and I?" he asked just as quietly. Cass was suddenly aware of how close they were and how deserted the hall was.
"Mmmm....I think that'd be nice" she murmered as his head lowered down to hers, she felt his breath brush across her closed eyes, and his lips touched hers.
