Author's Note: Let's continue on with the jealously shall we? Kat's claws come out.

Adam opened the door to the club, "After you ladies," he said with a smile, letting Aisha and Kat go ahead of him.

"Wow, look at this place," Kat said in amazement, it looked as if you stepped back in time 40 years, to the heyday of Jazz. "I love it!"

"Girl, this place is hot," Aisha said with a smile, noting that quite a few of the guys had taken notice of both herself and Katherine. "So is the scenery," she whispered, nodding at the bard.

"What? Ooh… yeah," Kat said with a smile, looking over at the bar. She almost jumped when she felt Adam's arm around her shoulder. "Hey," she said with a laugh.

"Let's go find a table," Adam said, giving the guys at the bar a look that said 'back off' as he steered her and Aisha towards the tables off to the side.

"He so wants you," Aisha whispered to Kat after they'd sat down and Adam had gone off to order their drinks.

"Shut it," Kat said with a glare, turning her head to watch Adam over at the bar. Wow, in those pants…her thoughts trailed off and she shook her head, sighing softly to herself.

"Adam is lookin' pretty good tonight, don't ya think?" Aisha asked, seeing where, or rather at what, Kat was looking at.

"Yes he is," Kat murmured a bit absentmindedly, just watching him. Suddenly she sat up, "Who is that?" She asked, a jealous bite to her voice as she saw a tall brunette wrap her arms around Adam from behind.

Aisha almost laughed at Kat's tone of voice, "Retract those claws Kitty," she teased. She looked closer at the woman, "That's Darla."

"Oh, so that is the 'most beautiful girl he's ever laid eyes on'," Kat said rolling her eyes, she doesn't look that great to me, she thought to herself.

"Yeah, personally, I didn't like her," Aisha put in, watching Kat and laughing to herself at how obviously jealous her best friend was acting.

Kat got up after a minute, "I'm thirsty and he is taking too long," she said heading over to the bar, watching as Darla kept hitting on her Adam, the lil' tramp, she thought to herself. She cleared her throat behind them, "Adam hon, do you have our drinks yet?"

Adam turned around, a look of relief in her eyes, "The bartender is still making them," he said shifting slightly so Kat could squeeze in beside him. He wound up moving so she was standing in front of him, with his hands on either side of her, resting on the bar.

"Who is this?" Darla asked, her eyes shooting daggers at Kat for interrupting them.

"I'm Katherine," Kat said a bit shortly, leaning back against Adam. She didn't know why, but she felt like staking her territory at the moment, even though Adam wasn't her territory.

"Ooh, Adam use to talk about you, one of his little high school friends," Darla said, the tone of her voice clearly making that an insult.

"Funny, Adam's never mentioned you," Kat retorted, giving her a little smirk. Back off bitch, she thought to herself.

Adam was watching the tense conversation with wide eyes, wow, I never knew what it was like to have girls fighting over me, wait… why is Kat fighting over me? Oh thank god, drinks… "Kat, the drinks are here, we should go back and sit down," he said grabbing the drinks. He turned to Darla, "It was nice seeing you again," he said nudging Kat with his hip, signaling her to go back to the table.

As soon as Kat had left the table, Aisha pulled out her phone and dialed Rocky, "Rocky, oh my god, you will NOT believe this. We ran into Darla at the bar…"

"Oh no, what did she want? What's Adam doing with her?"

"LET ME FINISH! Adam was talking to her, and Kat just got this look in her eyes, like 'step off MY man' and the claws came out, and right now she's up at the bar. I mean she just sauntered her way up there, and slid into the space beside Adam, and now she's in front of him and it looks like he's got his arms around her!"

"No way! Yes, finally!" Rocky exclaimed, "Now they just need to get it over with already, cause ya know, matchmaker I ain't."

"Anyway, it looks like Kat and Darla were exchanging words, Darla looked like she wanted to smack her, oh shit, they're coming back, gotta go," Aisha hung up the phone right before they got back to the table. "Hey guys," she said innocently, "Rocky says hi."

"I wish Rocky could have stuck around to see you," Kat said as she sat down and took a sip of her drink.

"Yeah, we could have double-dated," Aisha said with a smile, watching both Kat and Adam turn interesting shades of red. Score one for me, she thought with a silent laugh. "Sooo, how's Darla?" She asked, seeing Kat's eyes go green at the mention of her.

Adam shrugged, "Pissed off I stopped calling her, but oh well, I was busy with work, and Anaya…"

"And Kat," Aisha put in, a smile on her face. She winced when she felt a kick to her shin and looked up at Kat, who was now shooting daggers at her.

"Anyway," Adam danced around that statement, "I was so glad Kat came up to rescue me, because she kept throwing herself at me."

"Bloody twit," Kat muttered, causing Adam to laugh. "What? She was throwing herself at you like a shameless little hussy," she quipped, smacking his arm.

"Well Kitty, you came up there, claws out, and saved me," Adam said with a smile.

Kat made a face at him, "I did not, I was just thirsty!" She protested, the blush returning to her cheeks as she picked up her drink and downed it. "See?"

Aisha giggled, "I believe you Kat," she said in a tone that stated just the opposite.

"Me too," Adam said with a smirk.

"Sod off," Kat mumbled in reply, a grin playing on her lips. She was enjoying herself tonight, including how she handled that woman.
