Back at the Table
"Hey guys!" Brandon said as the two walked over to the table.
"Hey Donna I need to talk to you..." Kelly said as she sat down next to her.
"Yeah, sure, is everything okay?" Donna seemed concerned since she had just seen them dancing around the dance floor.
"Um, yeah I just have something to tell you..." Kelly said as she gestured to the ladies room.
"What about?..." Donna said not seeing the gesture.
"Um... Donna I think that means she wants to talk privately." David said seeing the gesture quite clearly.
"She probably... Ouch... Brandon what was that for?" Steve started but Brandon kicked him under the table before he could get anything else out.
With that Donna got the message and quickly got up from her seat, while the guys stayed back to talk about... God only knows what... but most likely them. It is what they do all the time and both of the girls would hear about it later.
Ladies Room
When the girls walked into the ladies room Kelly was quick to check all the stalls, before locking the door to tell Donna what had happened on the Dance floor, and at the bar. The room seemed to look different to Kelly some how, but she couldn't quite figure it out. It wasn't paint because she would have smelt that, but wait there was a different smell in the room, almost like a peach and papaya sent was floating through the air. She liked it! Donna on the other hand seemed confused as to why Kelly had locked the door. Was what she had to tell her really that much of a secret?
"Okay... we're here so spill... and why couldn't we talk out there?..." Donna was spitting out questions left and right and Kelly couldn't take it any longer.
"I think Brandon knows"
"Knows what exactly?... I need more information!" Donna said staring at her.
"About the letter in the paper..." Donna still looked confused. "The one I wrote this morning before the paper went to the presses!" Kelly was now getting irritated with her.
"What do you mean he knows I thought you wrote it as an anonymous fan"
"He must have figured it out because one minute we were arguing about it and the next we were kissing and then we were dancing... Oh... and what is up with that... When did Brandon... my Brandon learn how to dance"
"Hey there, slow down, I am just as curious as you are about where and when he learned how to dance but lets take this one step at a time..." Donna said doing a little dance step.
"Ha Ha..." Kelly said definately not amused by her joking around about something this serious.
"Sorry... What exactly happened at the bar?" Donna asked become serious.
"Brandon just mentioned to Steve, when he didn't think I was around, that he thinks he knows who is behind the letter, and if he does know he is going to play along anyway... that it would be a good idea to get it all out in the open..." Kelly said as she waved her hands about the room.
"What is he getting out in the open?"
"I don't know but I tried to kiss him and get him back to the house... which was working mind you... until he just stopped mid-stride and just stood there"
"Is this where he pulled out the dance moves"
"And shocked the hell out of me... yes! I couldn't believe it... Oh but wait there's more... He then whispered in my ear that tomorrow night at eight-thirty we have a date under the stars on the beach"
"Wow, I wonder what he has up his sleeve?..." Donna said getting a sly look on her face.
"That is why I dragged you in here... I want you to find out for me... I don't care what you do as long as you don't sleep with him..." Kelly said glad to see they were both on the same page finally.
"Okay for one... EW... and two... I'm with David and I don't need to do that to get what I want"
"Just making sure that we have the ground rules set"
"Don't worry... we do... without a doubt! Now can we go back out there?" Donna asked not wanting to stay in the ladies room any longer.
"If you can tell me what is different in here?" Kelly asked wanting to know.
"Oh, David changed the air freshener in here to a sweet peach and papaya blend"
"Your idea"
"Of course... after all we are the ones that have to live with it... this is the Ladies room!" She said matter of factly.
Back at the Table
"What do you think they are talking about in there?" Brandon asked staring in the direction of the restrooms.
"Oh, you know the girls... most likely the same thing we are talking about"
"Which is nothing at the moment..." Brandon continued.
"So what is going on with you two because I am a little out of the loop here?" David asked being as he wasn't at the bar when they were talking.
"Oh I got this Letter to the Editior, and it seemed like it was suppose to be for an advice columnist, but because The Beat doesn't have that it went to me." Brandon explained.
"So what did it say?" David prompted.
"Oh, just a bunch of stuff about relationships and feelings... stuff that I really don't feel like talking about." Brandon finnished.
"So who do you think it is?" Steve asked a little curious.
"I really have no clue, but I knew that Kelly was eaves dropping on us, so I made it all up"
"What would Kelly be doing eaves dropping on our conversation?" Steve asked still really confused.
"Dude, are you dense today?" David said as he smacked him upside the head.
"No... and ouch that one hurt..." Steve complained rubbing the back of his head.
"Kelly was so eager to know about the letter and my answer to it... that I am starting to think that it is either her, or one of the people she is helping at the foundation." Brandon said again looking over at the restrooms.
He seemed to be keeping a close eye on the hallway leading to the restrooms, so that he could stop the converstion as soon as he saw Kelly and Donna. Of course right after he looked over... there they were walking towards them. Brandon put up his hands to let the guys know that it was time to shut up and act like nothing was going on, but Steve and David still wanted to know where those dance moves came from.
"Hey Bran one more thing... where did you learn how to dance?" David asked.
"Brenda... when I went to see her last summer... She said that if I was going to date her best friend, then I needed to learn how to dance... and here I am! Now can we drop it because the girls are coming back..." Brandon said hushing the guys so that the girls wouldn't hear them.
"Hey miss me?" Kelly said as she sat down next to Brandon.
"Is there a reason I shouldn't?" He asked back.
"Ummm... no!" She said giving him a quick kiss.
"So what were you boys talking about?" Donna asked as she sat down next to David.
"Nothing much... what about you gals?" Steve asked nonchalant.
"Oh, just girl talk you know like make-up and clothes..." Donna started.
"Among other things..." Kelly finnished with a grin.
By the end of the night the most any of them had accomplished was getting on one of the other's nerves. Kelly was being sly and secretive and Donna was just keeping quiet. Brandon was being himself, the calm and collected one, even if inside he was ready to self emplode. Steve was clueless and David was always trying to change the subject, to avoid being stuck in the middle of a huge argument between Brandon and Kelly. At around one in the morning David finally got fed up with everyone.
"Okay, I think that it is time to call it a night!" David said as he stood up to leave.
"Yeah it is kind of late..." Donna agreed.
"Kel do you need a ride?" Brandon asked wanting her to say yes.
"I actually think I might stay with Donna tonight... if that is okay with you?" She said directing the question to Donna.
"Fine... I'll get the car." Donna said grabbing her purse and heading out the door.
"Hey since Kelly is staying at the beach apartment do you guys mind if I bunk at your place tonight?" David asked Brandon and Steve.
"I don't have a problem with that do you Steve?" Brandon said looking at Steve.
"Nah, not in the least... the more the merrier." Steve answered.
"Alright we will see you girls in the morning." Brandon said as he kissed Kelly goodnight.
