Chapter 5

Game On

"FOUL! C'mon ref are you freaking blind!" Katie yelled at the official. It was a little after 9 o'clock and she was fuming that the ref had missed the shove from Pacers Reggie Smith. Maurice looked over at Katie in awe. He had never met a girl so into sports before. She was such a big change from his last date at a Knicks game. Instead of groping him, she was ready to claw the official.

Katie turned to Maurice, catching his bewildered gaze she blushed slightly. "Sorry" she said quietly. "Hey, don't be, I think its cool you're so into this." He said reassuringly.

The rest of the game went smoothly, Katie still jumped up occasionally to voice her opinions to the officials and players, and Maurice practically had to restrain her from jumping over the seats and onto the court, he loved every minute of it.

After the game Maurice and Katie walked to his car. He had his arm around her shoulder gently guiding her through the thick crowd all exiting the stadium.

Katie inwardly smiled as she was enjoying every second of being on Maruice's arm. This was the kind guy she always wished she could have, but usually never could. Someone confident and tough. She had always been more for the bad boys, even though they would have never wanted the goody two shoes she had become. She felt more wild with Maurice than she had almost her entire life…there was just something about him that made her want to ride of into the sunset with him in his mustang…. 'yeah that's right' she thought smiling, 'I'm on a date with a guy that drives a mustang.'

"So where'd you want me to drop you off at?" Maurice asked breaking the cycle of Katie's thoughts. "Oh at my place is fine." She said, "That's on 31st right?" "Yeah" the rest of the car ride was mostly silent, with the exception of the radio softly playing Maruice's Life House CD.

When they reached Katie's apartment, Maurice shut off the engine, and turned to Katie… "So I guess this is it then," "Yeah" she said smiling. The moment was more anticipated than awkward. "I had a really great time with you tonight." He said, and for almost the first time, he realized, he sincerely meant it. "Yeah me to, thanks again Maurice." Katie said. She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you soon." She said as she got out of the car and walked up the stairs to her apartment. Maurice stared at her as she walked into her apartment…It wasn't like any girl had never kissed him at the end of a date before, but for some reason it just came unexpectedly, and he loved that about her.  

He started the engine and drove down the street… still thinking about Katie. Now that was a first.
