After the dinner, Kat did a little story telling to Jeremy's niece Nicole while Jeremy had a little man-to-man talk with Raymond. Only Jeremy couldn't concentrate on the conversation because from time to time he couldn't help stealing a glance at Kat and his niece. At last, Raymond stood up to watch his favorite band on TV leaving Jeremy free to approach Kat.
Kat had finished telling Nicole a fairytale and was now carrying the sleepy little girl.
"Hey Nicole, what story did Aunt Kat read to you?" Jeremy asked.
"Cinderella" Nicole said yawning.
"And I thought you didn't believe in ever after…" Jeremy said to Kat.
"Look, now's not the time to discuss that." Kat said. "Can't you see I'm trying to make Nicole sleep?" Kat then turned to Nicole "You're sleepy right? And Uncle Jeremy here is keeping you awake."
Nicole nodded.
"Ok, then let me just give my really cute niece a goodnight kiss," Jeremy said kissing the little girl. "And another one," he Kissed Nicole again, "And another one…" Jeremy tried to give Nicole another kiss only this time the little girl shifted to Kat's other shoulder making Jeremy's lip land directly on Kat's right shoulder.
"Ooops…" Jeremy said innocently.
Just then, Irene entered the room.
"Thanks for the story telling, she really enjoys that." Irene said smiling at Kat. "Now let me take her."
"Oh, Nicole is such a darling," Kat said kissing the half-asleep girl and giving her to her mother.
"Well you and Jeremy will be having your own little darling right?" Irene said teasingly. "Anyway, Raymond and Aimee are out in the pool area setting up a surprise for our in-laws, you two just follow there."
-------------------
"I believe you just kissed me," Kat said after Irene had left with her daughter.
"But that was unintentional!" Jeremy exclaimed. "How was I to know she would shift to your other shoulder?"
"You know what Jeremy? You look innocent enough…but then again, you have a background in acting."
"Look, I made a promise that I won't be kissing you without your go signal and I'm keeping my word," Jeremy said earnestly and then he added, "Well kissing you intentionally, that is…"
