Chapter 13 A Night of Thunder

February 1, 2000

Ever since they kissed on Christmas, Jason and Kat had decided to take things slow. They knew they liked each other, but didn't know how to ask the other out. Jason flinched a little as Zack tapped his shoulder.

"Hey, Jase, are you and Kat… you know," Zack asked.

He hadn't asked Jason what had happen when he and Kat were outside.

"Sort of, why," Jason laughed.

"She's been looking at you all day," Zack said.

Jason looked over at Kat and smiled. Her eyes grew and she bit her lip. She blushed as she turned her attention back to her students. Zack laughed at Kat's reaction. He was enjoying it while it lasted.

"Hey, did you hear about that storm that's supposed to come in tonight," Zack asked as Jason turned back to him.

"No, I didn't," Jason said.

"You think we should close up early,' Zack asked.

"No, I don't think so," Jason said.

By closing time that night, it had already started to rain, and it wasn't going to lighten up anytime soon by the looks of it. Zack had already taken off to his and Jason's apartment. Jason took a deep as he knocked on Kat's door.

"Come in," Kat said.

She smiled when she saw it was Jason.

"Hey, Kat, this storm's pretty bad. Why don't you stay over at our place," Jason suggested.

"That's sweet, Jason, but I think I'll be fine," she said.

"Oh really," he laughed.

The lights began flickering and went out.

"That's real great. Jason, do you mind helping me find some candles," Kat asked.

"Sure thing," he said.

He handed her the ones that were on her night stand.

"Thanks," Kat said.

"You're not staying here alone now," Jason told her.

She laughed as she lit a candle.

"What, you think the big bad boggie man's going to get me," Kat asked.

She placed her hand on his cheat. A spark went through both of them.

"Um…" Jason began.

A clash of thunder sent Kat into Jason's arms. The action shocked Jason. It was all over his face.

"I really hate thunder," Kat sighed.

"With me here, it can't hurt you," Jason smiled.

"Jason, you're not the guy I knew when we were in high school," Kat told him.

"I guess we all have to grow up sometime," he said.

He smiled as she leaned into kiss her. The room was dark, but Jason could somehow see the blue of Kat's eyes looking at him. Jason pulled away, trying to catch his breath.

"Don't stop," Kat whispered.

Kat pulled Jason back to her lips. Still kissing, they made their way to the bed.

"You sure you want to do this," Jason asked.

"Yes," Kat said.

As the thunder and lighting went on through the night, Kat was being protected in the arms of Jason. So much for taking things slow.

Kat woke up to find no one in the bed with her. She began to wonder if last night was a dream.

"Jason," Kat called.

"Huh," he asked, walking out of the bathroom.

She let out a sigh of relief.

"I thought last night was a dream," Kat said.

"Did you want it to be," Jason asked.

"Of course not," Kat smiled.

Jason smiled and kissed her.

"I better get down there before Zack gets here," he said.

"I'm surprised he didn't call," Kat laughed.

"I actually tried calling him, but the service was down," Jason said.

Jason walked down and started resetting all the clocks. A few minutes later, Zack walked in.

"Hey, why didn't you call," Zack asked.

Jason turned to him.

"I tried," he said.

"I'm just joking. I know that the service was down. Wait, you stayed here, did you," Zack realized.

"Um, yeah," Jason said.

"Enough said," Zack laughed.

"Good grief. Just cause we were here alone, you think…" Jason began.

"Don't say it," Zack said.

"How did you know," Jason asked.

"One, it's stupid not to have. Second, I've never seen you happier," Zack said.

Jason looked down and smiled. That was a true one.
