"Hey Beauty," Everett said, smiling as Katie came towards him.
"Hi Everett," she said, returning his smile. "Thanks for a great night last night."
"My pleasure, m'lady," he said, over dramatically bowing. "Anytime, Princess."
"Princess?" Katie repeated. "Beauty? What are all these sudden pet names Everett?"
"You don't like them?" he asked, eyes widening a little.
"No, it's not that, I just… You're the first person, apart from my Dads and my family to call me anything other than Katie."
"Ah," said Everett, his smile returned. Just as Katie opened her mouth to reply, the bell rang and she abruptly closed it again. Everett held out his arm. "Shall we, Beauty?" he asked.
"I'd love to," she said, linking her arm with his.
"There she is," Everett said brightly as Katie sat beside him for lunch. "Say, they're showing some pretty good looking movies at the cinema this weekend. Want to go?"
"Sounds good to me," Katie said, smiling. "Which movie?"
"Why don't you pick?"
"Are you sure?" Katie asked nervously, and he nodded, his deep brown eyes shimmering in the sun, almost as bright as his soft smile.
"Ok, I'll have a look," she said.
"What do you want to do for the weekend Sweetie?" Kurt asked. "Any ideas?"
"Everett asked me to the movies," Katie said.
"Oh, did he now?" Kurt asked playfully.
"Is it ok if I go?" she asked.
"Of course you can Katie," Kurt said with a smile. "Who am I to deny you fun?"
"And, as it happens," said Blaine. "Your father and I were thinking we might go."
"We were?" Kurt asked in a little bit of a gasp, looking up at him.
"Surprise!" said Blaine, throwing his arms to either side as a large grin erupted on his lips that made both Kurt and Katie laugh.
"So you can meet Everett there," Kurt said. "Which movie were you thinking of?"
"I don't know. I don't even know if he needs action so he doesn't fall asleep or if he's like you and Dad and doesn't really fall asleep in movies."
"Maybe go with a mix, just to be safe. Hey, what about Divergent?" he asked, pointing to it on the movie timetable. "I heard that was a good one."
"Good idea, thanks Daddy."
"Anytime."
"Hey you," Katie said with a knowing smile, approaching her friend who stood just outside the cinema.
"Have fun you two," Kurt said cheerily as he and Blaine headed inside to buy tickets.
"You too," Katie called after them, smiling.
"What are they seeing?" Everett asked.
"Another romantic flick I'd say," Katie said, "knowing them. They didn't actually tell me, but then again, I didn't ask either," she said.
"What about us?" Everett asked as they headed to the ticket counter. "What are we seeing?"
"I thought Divergent might be good," said Katie. "It's this what if end of the world one."
Everett shrugged. "Sounds good."
"Was it enough action for you?" Katie asked as they left the cinema.
"Yup. I don't know how any one could have gone to sleep in that movie. Except for maybe that scene where the guy takes his shirt off…" he said, making Katie laugh.
"I think my Dads have got another half hour or so in their movie," she said. "Do you want to go get a coffee or something?"
"Sure," said Everett, smiling. "I know this nice little place down the street. Do you want to check it out?"
"Lead the way."
