When they reached the town they got out and went into the general store. Kit found the lotion while MJ looked around. He found a little teddy bear that said, "Beautiful" on its sweatshirt. He spotted the gift shop next to the general store and went in. He looked around the gift shop and found another perfect gift for Patty. It was a friendship bracelet. He bought two of them.
"MJ you ready." Kit said looking at him.
"Coming." He said looking at the store for one last time.
When they got outside to the car MJ showed his Mom what he bought Patty.
"Those are very nice MJ. Whose the other bracelet for?" Kit asked.
"If Patty wears one I can wear the other one." He said.
"Not a bad idea." Kit said starting up the car.
They headed back to the cabin. When they reached the cabin they saw Katie sitting outside.
"What happened?" Kit asked looking at Katie.
Katie just burst out laughing and said, "Dad put so much lotion on Kasey Lynn that she looks like The Pink Panther."
Kit ran inside with MJ and Katie following her.
"Steve! What did you do to our baby?" Kit asked looking at him.
"She started to itch again so I put more lotion on her." He said looking at his wife.
"She's so, so, so pink." Kit then burst out laughing.
Then everyone started to laugh and Kasey Lynn signed,
"So you think this is funny! Well you try and stand still for a while, while someone lotions you up!"
Kasey Lynn then walked by a mirror, stopped and looked at herself and started to laugh at herself too. The next day they all left for home. It was the worst ride for Kasey Lynn ever. When they finally reached home Kasey Lynn ran into the house and ran upstairs to the bathroom to take a nice bath. Kit put a call into Mark to see if there was anything else they could do for Kasey Lynn. Katie went upstairs to check on her sister. She found Kasey Lynn in the tub trying to wash off all the lotion.
"Here let me help you." Katie signed to her.
After Kasey Lynn's bath Mark was downstairs waiting for her. He had some medicated lotion to help her. When she came down Mark looked at her and felt so bad for her. He applied the lotion on her and told her parents to apply it again before she goes to bed. Katie went up to her room and called Tommy to see if he hired anyone for the band. Katie dialed his number.
"Hi can I speak to Tommy?"
"Sure."
"Hi Tommy. It's Katie. Kasey Lynn's sister."
"Oh hi Katie." Tommy said.
"Did you hire anyone yet for your band?" Katie asked hoping he didn't.
"No. I decided to wait until you came back." Tommy said.
"You didn't have to wait." Katie smiled.
"Can you come over tomorrow around 2pm?" Tommy asked.
"Sure. Just give me your address and I'll be there."
Tommy gave her his address and they said good-bye.
The next day Katie went over to Tommy's house and met everyone in the band. Adam the drummer couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Ok everyone. Let's get down to business here. Katie what song are you going to sing for us today?" Tommy asked.
"I was thinking of singing my favorite song by Martina McBride. Broken Wing."
"Ok good. We know that song." Tommy said setting up.
Katie adjusted the microphone, took a deep breath and waited for her queue. When she started everyone looked at each other and was impressed. Tommy yelled 'cut'.
"Tommy what's wrong?" Adam asked looking at him.
"Katie can you do this song as a soloist?" Tommy asked looking at her.
"I guess so." She said looking at him.
"Try it." Tommy smiled at her.
Katie quickly said a pray to herself and then sang Broken Wing without the band. By the time Katie was done she was ready to pass out with fright.
"Nice." Adam said clapping and walking over to her.
Tommy and Frank talked it over and then Tommy said to Katie,
"Looks like you got the job."
Katie was so excited that she screamed.
"We start rehearsals 6pm to 7pm sharp Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. Fridays we start at 7pm to 8pm. When we go to auditions we play country music, pop and 60s music." Frank said to Katie.
Katie realized that the hours conflicted with her work schedule at BBQ Bobs on Friday nights. She didn't care she accepted the job.
"Thank you Katie for coming by. We'll see you Friday night." Tommy said walking her out.
"Ok great." She smiled.
After Katie left Tommy, Frank and Adam were talking about Katie.
"Man! She is awesome!" Adam said.
"Yeah she is." Frank said as they packed up.
"I wonder how long she's been signing?" Adam asked putting his drums in the corner.
"I wonder if she's single." Frank smiled.
"You two are unbelievable! Tommy said shaking his head.
"What? You don't think she's cute?" Adam asked looking at Tommy.
"Yes I do but we have a job to do in two weeks. I don't want to loose it like we did with the Solomon Barmitza." Tommy said looking at them.
When Katie got home she was so excited that she nearly burst.
"Mom! Dad! MJ! Kasey Lynn! Somebody!" Katie called running into the house.
Kit, Steve, MJ and Kasey Lynn came out of the den.
"I got it! I got the job with the band!" Katie said jumping up and down.
Everyone screamed and jumped up and down.
"Congrats! Katie!" MJ said hugging her.
"I knew you could do it!" Kasey Lynn signed to her.
"That is great Katie!" Kit said hugging her.
Katie looked over at her Dad and he said, "Way to go Katie! Way to go." Then he hugged her.
"Daddy there is a small problem." She said looking at him.
"What's that?"
"They have band rehearsals Friday nights from 7pm to 8pm."
"I suppose you want Friday nights off." He said looking at her.
"I would but if you can't do it I understand." Katie said looking at him.
"Do you need other days off?" He asked.
"They also rehearse Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 6pm to 7pm. Those days I work from 3pm to 6pm." She said again looking at him.
"You can have Fridays off but I'll need you to work Saturdays." Steve said.
"Sure." She smiled at him.
"I'm going to call Liz and Patty." She said running up the stairs.
Katie quickly walked into her room and went to pick up her phone when she saw her answering machine blinking. She played the messages.
"Katie. It's Patty. Call me as soon as you get this."
Katie speed dialed Patty's number.
"Patty its Katie. What's wrong?"
"Did you get it?" Patty asked.
"Come over and I'll tell you." Katie said.
Patty got onto her bike and raced over. When she arrived she ran up the walkway and rang the bell.
"Hi Patty." Kit said.
"Hi Mrs. Sloan. Is Katie around?"
"Right here in the kitchen." Katie said peeking out of the kitchen.
Patty walked in and asked, "Well? How did it go?"
"I got the job." Katie smiled at her.
"That is great! Congrats!" Patty said hugging her.
"Thanks." Katie said hugging her.
MJ then came into the kitchen.
"I've got to call Liz!" Katie said walking out of the kitchen.
MJ looked at Patty and said, "Come with me. I have something for you."
They got up and went outside and went up to the tree house. MJ had laid out a blanket, soda, chips and a rose.
"MJ what's this all about?" Patty asked looking at him.
"Nothing. Can't I do something nice for you?" He asked as they sat down.
"Sure you can." She said picking up the rose and smelling it.
He handed her a small box and the teddy bear. Patty opened the box and pulled out the bracelet and said,
"This is very beautiful."
"It's suppose to be a friendship bracelet but I want it to represent how much I love you." MJ said putting it on her wrist.
"MJ I don't need anything to represent it. I know you love me. You've told me." Patty said kissing him.
"I know." He said kissing her.
"You are one awesome guy MJ." Patty said looking at him.
"Thank you."
They sat with their arms around each other and watched the stars come out once again.
"Liz its Katie. Where are you? Call me when you get this." Katie then hung up the phone.
An hour went by when Katie called Liz. Katie's phone rang.
"Hello."
"Katie its Liz."
"Where were you?" Katie asked.
"I was with Dion." Liz said.
"You guys went to the movies?"
"Can I come over? My mom is being difficult." Liz asked.
"Sure. You want to spend the night here?" Katie asked.
"If it's ok with your parents."
"I'm sure it will be." Katie then hung up.
Katie went downstairs and asked her parents if it was ok that Liz spends the night. They were fine with it. Ten minutes later Liz showed up. The girls went up to Katie's room.
"Where's Patty?" Liz asked.
"Probably up in the tree house with MJ. Making out." Katie laughed.
"So what movie did you and Dion see today?" Katie asked knowing all too well that they didn't go to the movies to watch but to make out.
Liz looked over at her and said, "You know damn well that we didn't go to the movies to watch. We were up in the balcony making out. It was empty up there. Katie, Dion is so incredible. I can't believe that we've been friends for this long and never knew that we had feelings for each other. So how did the audition go today?"
"I got the job. I start rehearsing Friday night. So you really like Dion?"
"Congrats! You are going to be great! Yeah I like him a lot." Liz said sitting on Katie's window seat.
Liz happened to look out the window and saw into the tree house. Her eyes got real wide when she saw MJ and Patty kissing.
"Katie! Come here! Look!" Liz said pointing to the tree house.
Katie looked out and saw what Liz was talking about.
"Damn Katie! You're brother is going to suck her up if he continues to kiss like that." Liz laughed.
Katie just burst out laughing.
"Oh shit! He heard us!" Liz said moving from the window seat.
"You know Katie I think I saw your brother trying to cop a feel on my cousin." Liz laughed.
"Liz! You pig! MJ would never do that!" Katie laughed.
"Katie I hate to break the news to you but your 'sweet innocent' brother is a man and when a man gets near a woman like Patty, LOOK OUT!" Liz laughed.
"Jealous?" Katie said looking at Liz.
"Nope. Dion tried it on me already." Liz laughed.
Katie shot Liz a look and said, "No way!"
"Yup." Liz smiled.
"What did you do?" Katie asked.
"Nothing. I did it back to him." Liz laughed.
"Get out of here you liar!" Katie laughed.
"Swear on a million bibles it happened." Liz said standing up and putting her hand to her chest and the other hand up in the air.
"If that ever happened to me I would have killed him." Katie said.
"You mean to tell me all the time you went out with Brad he didn't try anything with you?" Liz asked looking at Katie.
"Nope. Not one move." Katie said looking at her friend.
"That boy must have been dead from the waist up." Liz said.
"No. He just respected me that's all." Katie said getting up and walking into her closet to find an outfit for Friday night.
"So any cute guys in the band?" Liz asked.
"Yeah. The drummer Adam." Katie said pulling out a pair of jeans and a tank top.
"What time is rehearsal on Friday?" Liz asked.
"7pm. Why?"
"Don't you have to work?"
"Yeah but my Dad gave me off." Katie said coming out with the outfit.
"You mean to tell me your father gave you Friday off? It's amazing!" Liz said.
"Come on Liz, my Dad is not that bad." Katie said looking for shoes.
"Katie your Dad never gives you and your brother off. Since you started to work." Liz said lying on Katie's bed.
"Yeah I know. He was cool with it." Katie said.
"So the drummer Adam is cute? Does he go to our school?" Liz asked looking over at Katie.
"I don't know. I didn't get a chance to talk to him much."
"What song did you sign? Wait don't tell me Broken Wing?" Liz asked.
"Yup and I figure I'll sign 'Blue' Friday."
Katie's phone rang.
"Hello."
"Katie its Tommy sorry to bother you. I forgot to tell you that next Friday we are signed up at Marshall High School for Battle of the Bands. I was thinking of us doing one country and one 60s music."
"Battle of the Bands at Marshall High School?" Katie asked.
"Yeah is that a problem." Tommy asked.
"No. I go to that school. I just thought that Battle of the Bands was going to be at Lakeshore this year." Katie said.
"It was until the principal decided to cancel it." Tommy said.
"What kind of country and 60s music?"
"I don't know yet. We'll figure that out on Friday." Tommy said.
"Ok. Thanks for calling Tommy." Katie said.
"Oh before I hang up Adam wants to talk to you."
"Ok sure." Katie then turned and smiled at Liz.
"Hey Adam."
"Hey Katie. You did great today on the audition."
"Thanks."
"You busy Saturday night?" Adam asked.
"Yes. I work at my Dad and Uncle's restaurant from 3pm to 8pm." She said.
"Which restaurant?" Adam asked.
"BBQ Bob's." Katie said.
"Seriously? I hang out there all the time."
"I've never seen you there." Katie said.
"I just started to hang there. I heard from people that it's a great place to hang so I decided to check it out." Adam said.
"I see." Katie smiled.
"I better let you go. See you Friday at rehearsals." Adam said.
"See you then. Bye." Katie then hung up.
"Damn girl you got a date with the drummer." Liz smiled.
"Yes I do." Katie smiled.
"See I told you you'd meet someone." Liz said hugging her best friend.
"Yeah you did."
The girls were laughing when there was a knock on Katie's door. Katie got up and answered.
"Hey 'itchy.' " Katie signed to Kasey Lynn.
"My god! What happened to you?" Liz signed to Kasey Lynn.
Kasey Lynn looked at Katie and signed, "You didn't tell her?"
"No I completely forgot." Katie signed.
Katie then put the lotion on her sister and told Liz what happened.
"Oh man! That is terrible." Liz signed to Kasey Lynn.
"Hopefully this medicated lotion that grandpa gave us will work." Katie said to Liz.
Liz walked back over to Katie's window to spy some more on Patty and MJ. Katie looked over and saw her peeking at them and yelled,
"Liz! Get over here! MJ is going to kill you then me!"
"God I just wanted to see if they were doing anything." Liz smiled.
"Like what? The horizontal poka?" Katie said.
"Yeah." Liz laughed.
"Liz you are too much." Katie said as she finished up with Kasey Lynn.
"What? Oh that's right you never did that with Brad." Liz laughed.
"Like you did it with Dion." Katie said after sending Kasey Lynn out.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Liz said with a devilish smile.
Katie looked at her and said, "You and Dion did it? Where? When?"
"Not telling you." Liz laughed.
"That's means you never did." Katie said looking at Liz.
"Remember that little room down in my basement that the three of us use to go to and play with our Barbie's and listen to the music really loud in and my Mom and Uncle never heard." Liz said looking at Katie.
"The one where we wrote on the wall and then smoked cigarettes in?"
"Yup! That one."
"What about it?" Katie asked looking at her friend.
"Dion and I went in there and did it!" Liz said.
"You are so full of it!" Katie said.
"Then don't believe me." Liz said getting up and pulling down Katie's window shade to get undressed.
Katie looked over at Liz and said, "What is that?"
"What?" Liz asked looking in the mirror.
"You've got a hickey! It's not on your neck!" Katie shockingly said.
"Oh! That! Dion gave it to me." Liz said looking at her breast.
"You are so unreal!" Katie said walking away from her friend.
Liz got dressed and sat on Katie's bed and said, "Let's say that you and Adam are going out for a month and he made a move on you what would you do?"
"I would kick his sorry ass!" Katie said.
Liz just laughed and then asked, "You wouldn't let him get away with it?"
"No way!" Katie said.
Then there was another knock on Katie's door.
"Come in!" Liz shouted.
Patty walked in and said; "I thought I saw you here. What's with you spying on us?" Patty asked looking at her cousin.
"Just wondering what you and MJ do." Liz smiled.
"It's none of your business!" Patty said getting mad.
"Relax! So did you and MJ do it?" Liz asked looking at her cousin.
"No! It's none of your business if we did do it." Patty said smacking her cousin in the arm.
"See Liz not all people 'kiss' and tell or should I say 'do it' and tell." Katie said.
Patty looked over at her cousin and asked, "You and Dion?"
"Yes! In the little room in my basement. It was amazing! Then he gave me this." Liz said showing her cousin the hickey.
"I can't believe you two actually did it." Patty said shaking her head.
"You and Katie are so, so, nuny." Liz said looking at the both girls.
"We are not! We're just waiting for the right guy!" Patty said looking at her cousin.
"Patty! You have the right guy! Just do it!" Liz laughed.
"You know Liz if I wasn't your cousin I would tell your Mom that you lost your virginity to Dion!" Patty said getting angry.
"Easy cousin! I'm just playing with you. God! Don't get all angry with me." Liz said looking at Patty.
"Liz you have to understand something. You have a Mom that you can talk to whenever you want. I don't. I have a hard time talking to my Dad about certain things." Patty said sitting on Katie's bed.
"Oh please! Your dad is cool!" Liz said.
"About certain things. I can't just go up to him and start talking about boys. I had a hard time telling him that MJ and I are seeing each other. Then when I did he gave me the third degree. So don't think it's easy to talk to my dad!" Patty said.
Katie looked at Patty and said, "You know you can always talk to my Mom."
"I know. Look I'm going to go home." Patty said getting up.
"Stay." Katie said looking at her.
"Nah. I'm not in the mood."
"Did you and MJ have a fight?" Katie asked looking at Patty.
"No." Patty said looking down at the floor.
"Then stay." Liz said.
"I don't know. I don't want to leave my Dad alone." Patty said.
"Patty your Dad is a big boy he can stay by himself." Liz said looking at her. Then she said with that devilish, "Besides MJ is down the hall."
Patty looked at Liz and asked angrily, "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing! God I can't even tease you!" Liz said looking at her.
Liz excused herself to use the bathroom.
"Katie you have to promise me something." Patty said looking at Katie.
"Sure what?"
"You can't and I mean you can't tell Liz." Patty said.
"I promise. You know I'm good at keeping promises." Katie said sitting next to Patty.
"I don't know if I should even tell you this." Patty said looking at Katie.
"Tell me." Katie said.
Patty first listened to see if Liz was coming back in. Then she whispered,
"Katie the real reason why I can't stay is because of the feelings I have for your brother. I came really close to acting on them up in the tree house."
"I see." Katie said looking at Patty.
"You have to promise me you won't tell Liz."
"I promise. By the way does my brother know?" Katie asked.
Patty looked at her and said, "No. I told him that I had to use the bathroom so I left quickly. This is the second time I encounter these feelings. The first time is when we went for ice cream."
Katie went to say something when Liz walked in.
"Did I miss anything?" Liz asked laughing.
"No. I was trying to convince Patty here to stay." Katie said looking at Patty then at Liz.
"And?"
"And I decided that I should call my Dad to see if it's ok." Patty smiled at Katie then at Liz.
"Great!" Liz said.
Patty called her Dad.
"Hello."
"Hi Dad."
"What time do you want me to pick you up?"
"That's why I'm calling. Can I stay over night at Katie's?"
There was silence on the other end of the line as her Dad thought about it. Then he said, "Sure sweetie."
"Thanks Dad. I love you." Patty then hung up.
The girls were excited so Katie gave Patty one of her extra large t-shirts to wear. They then went downstairs to make popcorn. Kit came into the kitchen and said,
"I see we have over night guests." Kit smiled at the girls
"I'm sorry Mrs. Sloan. I think I better leave." Patty said looking at Katie and then Kit.
"Patty don't you dare leave." Katie said looking at her.
Patty walked out of the kitchen. Kit then asked,
"Katie is Patty ok?"
"Yeah Mom she's fine." Katie said leaving the kitchen with Liz following.
The girls went up to Katie's room and found Patty dressing.
"Patty what the hell is wrong with you?" Liz asked.
"Nothing! All right! Nothing!" Patty said looking at her cousin.
There was a knock on the door. Katie went and answered it and MJ casually walked in rubbing his tired eyes.
"Could you ladies please keep it down? I'm trying to sleep." MJ said looking at them.
"I'm sorry MJ! I'm just leaving!" Patty said angrily slamming the door on her way out.
Katie, Liz and MJ were stunned by Patty's reaction. MJ then went after her and caught up with her down the front walk.
"Patty what's wrong?" MJ said grabbing her by the arm.
"Nothing!" Patty replied looking at him angrily.
"Ok you're coming with me." He said walking her to the back yard.
"MJ please. I just want to go home."
"Up to the tree house." He said pointing up.
Patty turned and looked at him and said, "No."
"Patty I want to know what's bothering you, please tell me." MJ said as they sat down on the chairs.
"Nothing is bothering me." She said not looking at him.
"That's a lie and you know it." MJ said looking at her.
Patty was quiet for a while. MJ then turned her head to face him and he asked,
"What is wrong?"
"MJ I can't stay here. I can't come over anymore." She said taking a deep breath trying to fight the tears.
"Are you breaking up with me?" MJ asked looking at her.
"I have to MJ." She said looking at him.
"Why? What did I do?" MJ asked looking at her.
"You did nothing wrong." She then started to cry.
MJ just looked at her. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. MJ never expected their relationship to end like this. He always had a feeling that they would have a future together maybe even get married. MJ put his arms around her and hugged her. He then looked into her eyes and asked,
"Are you telling me the truth?"
"Yes and no." She said finally calming down.
He looked at her and said, "Explain."
"Yes you did nothing wrong and no I'm not telling you the truth."
"I'm listening."
Patty got up took MJ's hand and walked him over to the tree house. When they got up there they sat down and Patty continued.
"MJ I love coming over here. This is very hard to explain." She took a deep breath and continued. "Every time that we are together my feelings take over. I get these urges."
He looked at her with a puzzled look.
"What I'm trying to say is…" Patty was cut off in mid sentence by Steve's calling.
"MJ! Is everything alright?" Steve called up.
"Damn it!" MJ whispered. "Yes Dad! Everything is alright." MJ said looking down at him.
Steve then walked back inside.
"I'm sorry. Continue." MJ said holding her hand.
"What I was trying to say is that I want to take our relationship further but I can't. I don't want to pressure you. I wouldn't like it if it were the other way around. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
MJ looked at her and said, "Wow!" Then he sat with his back against the wall of the tree house.
"I didn't know your feelings were that strong." MJ said looking at her.
"They are. That is why I want to end us. I can't pretend any longer that they are not there." Patty said looking at him while trying to hold back the tears which she felt stinging the back of her eyes.
He looked at her and asked, "What about my feelings? You would rather hurt me."
"No MJ. I don't want to hurt you."
"Well you are. Don't you think I have urges too? You don't know how many times I wanted to make love to you. Remember the other night when my Dad asked if I wanted to go with him to get ice cream? The first time we kissed, the second time, third time and so on and so on." He then got up and walked over to her and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry MJ." Patty said hugging him back.
"Let's just take it one day at a time. We need to work on curbing our urges until we are both old enough to handle them properly." He said looking at her.
"Ok. Now what do we tell everyone?"
"Nothing."
"I ran out of the kitchen earlier when your Mom made a statement about 'overnight' guests. Maybe I should tell her that it's a 'woman' thing. She'll understand." Patty said looking at MJ.
"That sounds like a plan." He smiled at her and then he kissed her.
Patty and MJ went back inside.
"Patty is everything alright?" Kit asked looking at her.
"Yes Mrs. Sloan." She answered walking up to Kit and whispering, "Woman thing."
"I see." Kit said nodding her head in understanding.
Patty and MJ went upstairs. They said their goodnights and headed into their respective sleeping areas. There was a knock on MJ's door. He let out a sigh and then said,
"Come in."
His Dad walked in and sat on MJ's bed.
"Care to explain what was going on up in the tree house at this hour of the night?" Steve asked looking at his son.
Steve just prayed that MJ and Patty don't do anything stupid that they will regret for the rest of their lives.
"This is hard to explain." MJ said sitting up in bed.
"I'm listening." Steve said taking a deep breath.
"You see Dad Patty gets very sensitive around this time of the month so with the comment that Mom said in the kitchen Patty took it to heart and she ran out crying. Katie and Liz tried to calm her down but it was no use so I figure since I'm her boyfriend I can calm her down. So we went up to the tree house to talk and she told me." MJ said hoping that his Dad would buy the lie.
"I see. That was nice of you MJ. But why the tree house?" Steve asked.
"Privacy Dad. She was embarrassed and she didn't want you to know. She had a hard time telling me." MJ said again hoping his Dad would buy the lie.
"Ok. So long as nothing else was going on." Steve said.
"Please Dad. Patty and I are too young to get involved like that. We're not stupid." MJ said.
Steve got up off MJ's bed and said good night to him and left the room. As he was passing Katie's room he heard the girls giggling. He knocked on the door.
"Come in." Katie said.
Steve opened the door and said good night to them.
"Good night Daddy." Katie smiled at him.
"Good night Mr. Sloan." Patty and Liz said.
He then closed the door and went over to Kasey Lynn's room to check on her. When he opened her door he found her wide a wake.
"What are you doing up? It's past your bed time." Steve signed to her.
"I know but I forgot to read this book for school and then I have to write a report on it." Kasey Lynn signed to him.
"How many times are we going to go over this? You can't leave things to the last minute. How many pages do you have to write?"
"I don't know. I have to write about what I thought about the book." Kasey Lynn signed.
"Well I think you should finish the page you are on and then turn off your light." Steve signed.
"Ok." She said shrugging.
Steve got up and walked towards her door. Kasey Lynn clapped her hands and Steve turned around. Kasey Lynn then signed, "I love you."
"I love you too baby. Now go to sleep."
Steve then went into his own bedroom and found Kit in bed waiting for him. Kit noticed the look on his face, which didn't look good.
"Babe what's wrong?" She asked sitting up.
"I'm very concerned about MJ and Patty's relationship." He said getting into bed.
"Why?"
"I'm not too happy with it. They are always going off to that tree house of his." He said looking over at her.
"You don't think they're having sex do you?" Kit asked looking at him.
"I don't know what to think." Steve said.
"Did you talk to him about it?"
"I did. All he said was that they were up there kissing and talking." Steve then put his head on his hand that was propped on his pillow.
"Steve you never doubted his word before. Why start now?" Kit asked looking at him.
"I don't know. Maybe because they are both sixteen and always together." Steve said playing with Kit's bow on her nightgown.
"What does that have to do with it?"
"I just don't want them to screw up."
"Steve are you uncomfortable with him dating Patty?" Kit asked as she moved closer to Steve.
Steve looked up at Kit and said, "No. I'm happy they are dating. She's a great girl."
"Then stop worrying. They are both smart kids who enjoy each other's company." Kit said lying in the crook of his arm.
"I guess I'm worrying about nothing much." He said as he slipped his hand through the side of her nightgown and gently stoked her breasts.
She turned and looked at him and said trying to catch her breath, "You're such a worry wart."
He removed his hand slowly so that it glided across her raised nipples and then leaned in and kissed her passionately.
"You are such a tease Lieutenant Sloan." Kit said looking at him.
Steve then took off his pants while Kit took off her nightgown and made love to her.
