Chapter 15 Just One Question

April 13, 2000

Jason had waited a month. Even though Kim told him to wait longer, he just couldn't. Especially with what had happened to Tommy. Jason realized that life was too short. He took a deep breath as he knocked on Kat's door. His stomach was doing back flips as he waited for an answer.

"Come in," Kat said.

She smiled as Jason slowly made his way into her room.

"Hey," Jason smiled.

"Hey, Jason," Kat said.

She shook her head as he closed her door. Kat had no clue what was going on. She had to admit it scared her somewhat. Jason had never been this nervous.

"Um, can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer right now," he said.

Kat laughed as she sat on her bed. Jason made his way next to her. Her next class was in thirty minutes, and she needed to start setting up.

"What is it," Kat asked.

"Well, you know how Zack is supposed to be moving out of the apartment in July…" Jason began.

"Yeah," Kat said.

"I was kind of wondering if maybe you'd like to move into my apartment when he moves," Jason said.

For a moment, there was complete silence, which made Jason wonder. Did I ask to soon? Is she making me suffer waiting?

"Jason, we've only been going out for four months now," Kat finally said.

"I know, and you don't have to answer now. Take all the time you need," Jason said.

She smiled at the look on her boyfriend's face. The way he looked when you know he was desperate was so cute.

"I'll think about it," Kat said.

Jason held in his emotions until after Kat left. When the door was closed, he let it all out.

"Alright," Jason yelled.

He started doing a little dance around Kat's empty room. Getting a maybe was all he needed. Kat covered her mouth and began laughing as she heard Jason celebrating.

"You're something else," she laughed.

Kat seemed to be in her own world as Zack walked up to her. The thought of living with Jason had kept her up all night. Even now she couldn't think with the daydreaming she was doing about it.

"Penny for your thoughts," Zack asked.

Kat gasped as she jumped back. Zack's eyes grew at her reaction.

"Sorry about that, Zack," Kat apologized.

"What are you thinking about," he asked.

Kat looked down and sighed.

"Jason asked me to move in with him after you move out," she said.

A smile crept on Zack's face. He noticed the concern in her eyes.

"Yeah, but not until July. Wouldn't it be six months by then," Zack asked.

"You're right," Kat realized.

She hadn't thought about July still being two more months away.

"Hey, I'm not pushing you to say yes. It's up to you," Zack asked.

"Thanks for the talk," Kat smiled.

She kissed his cheek and walked off.

Kat had to take off for a while, but before she left, she left Jason a note. Zack noticed the note on the counter and brought it to Jason, who was working on some business papers.

"Jason, Kat left you a note," he said.

Without saying anything, Jason took the note and read it to himself.

"Jason, the answer is yes," he read.

His smile reached from one ear to the other. He had thought that he had ruined everything by asking her too early. His conversation with Kim after asking Kat that night had made Jason doubt more Kat would say yes.

"Well, what did she say," Zack asked.

Jason's smile had given it away, but Zack just wanted confirmation. Jason had told him about his and Kim's conversation, and it also made Zack wonder.

"She said yes," Jason smiled.

"Yes… oh, about living with you," Zack asked.

For a moment he had forgotten what the note might be about.

"Yup," Jason said.

Kat sat on the bed at her and Jason's apartment and sighed. She couldn't believe it was already July.

"Welcome to your new home, Kat," Jason smiled.

She laughed as Jason pinned her to the bed and began kissing her. Kat had absolute joy on her face when they broke.

"I still can't believe we're doing this," she said.

"But you're alright with going through with this, right," Jason asked.

"Of course," Kat smiled.

She giggled as Jason kissed her neck.
