Hi guys! Here you have the 5th chapter! Hope you love it!
Lanie's father had brought everyone home, except for Lanie, Kate and Rick. When they arrived at Rick's, Kate kissed him goodbye.
'I'll call you.'
'Okay, talk to you later.'
Kate got back in the car and they drove to Kate's. When they arrived Kate got out of the car and thanked Lanie's father.
'I'll see you monday at school. Have fun talking to Rick.'
'Goodbye and I will.'
Kate walked through the door and dropped her bag in the hallway. She walked into the kitchen and saw her mother making lunch.
'Hey, mom.' Kate hugged her mom.
'Hey, honey. How was your weekend with Lanie, Javier, Kevin and Rick?'
'It was amazing. We had so much fun. Oh and umh about Rick...'
'What is it about Rick?' Her mom asked curiously.
'Rick and I are dating!' Johanna immediately stopped with what she was doing and turned around to face Kate. Who was waiting for her mother's reply.
'That's great! So when do I get to know him better? I have only seen him once.'
'Well-' Kate was just about to answer her mom when her phone rang and interrupted her. When she saw the callers iD she smiled, it was Rick.
'Hey, handsome.'
'Hey, beautiful. I miss you.'
'Me too. I want to see you.'
'Then why don't you come over? We'll have lunch and watch a movie or something.'
'I've got a better idea. Why don't you come over, my mom was just asking me when she got to meet you.'
'Really? Okay, when should I come by?'
'How about now?'
'I'm already on my way. See you soon, beautiful.'
'See you.'
She hung up and put her phone back in her pocket. She turned around to her mom and smiled.
'Well mom, you have got your wish. Rick will be here in about twenty minutes.'
'That's great. I better make more lunch then.'
'Okay, mom. I'll just put my bag in my room.'
The doorbell rang and Kate ran down the stairs to open the door. When she opened the door, she was met by a smiling but nervous looking Rick.
'Hey, why are you nervous?'
'Kate, I'm going to meet your mom! What if she doesn't like me?'
'Well, you've got nothing to worry about. My mom will absolutely love you!'
Whe she saw he was about to open his mouth, she kissed him. She immediately felt him relax and respond to the kiss. After a minute she pulled away.
'Now, let's go meet my mom.'
As they entered the kitchen, Johanna turned around. She couldn't help but smile when she saw the two, they are so cute together! Also how Rick was holding Kate's hand and standing a little behind her. She walk towards them and smiled.
'Hi Rick. I'm Johanna, but you already knew that right?'
'Hello, yeah you told me when I brought Kate home after the picnic.' Johanna smiled.
'You can call me Johanna. I have heared so much about you from Katie.'
At that Kate blushed. Rick turned towards her and smiled.
'Really? Good things I hope.'
'Of course. Why don't you guys go and sit in the living room? I'll come and get you when lunch is done, which should be in about a couple minutes. They both went to sit on the couch. Kate could still see the nervousness in Rick's eyes and how he couldn't keep his hands still. She gently took one of his hands, he turned his head towards her and smiled. They both leaned in and kissed. The kiss got heated and Rick put his hand on her cheek. They broke apart though because of someone clearing her throat.
'Ahem! Lunch is ready.'
Kate and Rick were both blushing and a little unfocused after the kiss.
'We'll just go and wash up.'
Johanna smiled at the couple which were now walking up the stairs.
When they entered the bathroom, Kate and Rick both laughed.
'There's nothing more embarrassing than getting caught making out by your parents!'
Rick laughed and put his hands around her waist.
'It probably won't be the last time either.'
Kate laughed. Rick started kissing her neck and she moaned. He smiled against her neck and placed one lingering last kiss. They washed their hands and went downstairs holding hands.
They all sat down at the table. Johanna had made spagetti with homemade tomatosauce and garlic bread. Kate and Rick were sitting next to each other across from Johanna.
'So, Rick where are you from?'
'Well I was born here in New York, but when I was 5 my mom got a role in a huge play so we moved to LA. Two years later we moved back.'
'Wow! Interesting because we have also done some moving around.'
'Really, Kate hasn't told me that.'
He turned to Kate with a raised eyebrow.
'I was going to.'
'You're definitely going to.'
'Rick, tell me more about you.'
'Well I love reading and writing, want to be a writer someday, I jog every two days, my favourite color is blue, am still a child at heart and ohh, I'm a hopeless romantic.'
When he said the last thing he was looking at kate, who was smiling.
'All of them are good qualities.'
'That's good to hear.'
'But, Rick if you ever hurt Katie there is no telling in what's going to happen to you. Understood?'
'Understood and I would never intentionally hurt Kate.'
He turned to Kate and looked her in the eyes.
'You always know how to make everything sound so romantic.'
He laughed and smiled.
'I told you, I'm a hopeless romantic.'
Rick then kissed Kate, while Johanna just sat there smiling a the two of them. When they separated they smiled at each other and turned back to Johanna.
'Mom, do you approve of Rick?'
Kate and Rick were holding each others hand.
'Yes, I approve of Rick.'
Kate and Rick smiled at each other and kept looking at each other.
'Are you going to help me clear the table?'
'Yes, we will. Can we after we're done go to my room?'
'Yes, but no funny business!'
'Of course not, mom.'
After they had helped clear the table, Kate and Rick walked hand in hand to her room.
They arrived at the door.
'Are you ready to enter the bedroom of Kate Beckett?'
'Very funny! And yeah, I'm ready.'
She opened her door. When they entered her room, Rick was silent and observing everything.
'So this is your room? Not what I expected.'
'Really?'
'Jup, it's even better!'
She laughed. Rick walked towards her and put his arms around her. He started kissing her and she responded eagerly. She put her arms around his neck and moved her hands in his hair. His hands were on her hips but were now creeping up her sides. He slowly started kissing her neck. When they pulled away for air, they put their foreheads together. When Rick looked her in the eyes she was smiling.
'I like kissing you.'
'Me too.'
'Why don't we lie down on the bed?'
'Sure, than you can tell me about this moving around you have done.'
They walked towards the bed and lied down. Kate was snuggled up with Rick, who had his arms around her and her head on his chest.
'Why did you move so much?'
'Well, my mom keeps telling me that it's because of her work but I have suspicions that it's about something else.'
'How did you get your suspicions that it was about something else?'
'The moving around because of work can only be done so many times. We have moved too much for a job. And every time I ask my mom about my dad, she says to not talk or ask about him. That's when I began to connect the two.'
'Have you asked her why she won't tell you?'
'No, I never get te chance. If I only mention the word 'dad' she already says she won't talk.'
'Maybe she will talk about it if someone else asks it?'
'Maybe. Enough talk about moving and fathers, let's talk about our moms.'
Rick smiled and kissed her and held her hand.
'Good idea. It's seems like your mom really likes me, I'm so glad that that's over! I don't think I've ever been so nervous as today, meeting your mom.'
Kate chuckled.
'I'm glad too. Now, when do our moms get to meet each other?'
When Kate asked that Rick froze. He had totally forgotten about their parents meeting!
'Uhh, I don't know I forgot all about that.'
'Thank God that I did think about it. My plan was to have dinner all together here. What do you think?'
Kate looked at him with her beautiful emerald eyes, he always gets lost in them and now was no exception. After a while he remembered that she had asked him a question and thought of a response.
'How do you always come up with these amazing ideas? We should have the dinner here tonight?'
'I don't now the ideas just pop up in my head. And that sounds like a good plan. We should just go downstairs and ask my mom if it's okay.'
'Then, let's hurry up and get downstairs!'
With that Kate got up and pulled Rick with her, together they walked hand in hand down the stairs.
They found Johanna in the living room looking over some files. They walked over and sat down across from her.
'Hey, mom can we ask you a question?'
'Didn't you just ask one?'
They all smiled.
'Ask away.'
'How about dinner tonight, here with Rick's mom?'
'Fantastic idea, that way I also get to meet her.'
'That was also our thought.'
'Then it's settled, dinner here tonight with the Rodgers.'
Rick tapped Kate's shoulder and she turned around.
'What is it?'
'We still have to call my mom and ask her.'
'Allmost forgot about that. Can you call her now?'
'Yes.'
Rick took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Martha's number. After four rings she picked up.
'Hey, mom. Everything is all right, I was just calling to ask if you can have dinner tonight with the Becketts. That way you can meet Kate and her mom.'
While Rick listened to his mother, Kate had his hand held in a thight grip.
'Okay, mom I will see you in a while. Bye!'
'Will she be able to come?'
Rick turned to Kate and smiled.
'Yes, she will come. You can loosen your grip on my hand now.'
Kate blushed and Rick kissed her cheek. She looked at her mother and smiled.
'I can't wait untill tonight! We'll be up in my room watching a movie.'
'Oke, have fun.'
'We will.'
When they were back in her room, they chose a movie and put it in. They were now lying on her bed, all cuddled up and watching the movie they chose.
'I have a feeling that our moms will get along perfectly.'
'I do so too. They have much in common.'
'Mmh, that will be good, that way we can sneak out tonight when they're to busy talking instead of watching us.'
'Fantastic idea, Rick.'
'I know, I'm just that smart.'
Kate chuckled while looking at him.
'A smart boy who forgets a lot.'
'Man', Kate it's 'man' not boy.'
'I don't have enough proof yet to call you a man.'
'Well, you're getting your proof right now!'
Before Kate could response, Rick's mouth was on hers. He was kissing her slowly while he pinned her to the bed. He was now on top of her with one hand at her neck and the other on the small of her back. Kate was shocked at first but recovered fast and started kissing him back. Her hands were on his back as she pulled him closer. The slow kiss had gotten deeper. Kate licked Rick's lip and he moaned, he returned her by pulling their hips flush together. They both moaned and Kate could now feel Rick's arousal. They had to brake apart for air. Both their faces were flushed and they were both breathing deeply. Rick cleared his throat to speak.
'Will you now call me 'man' instead of 'boy'.'
'Definitely.' And they both laughed.
After they had dealt with Rick's 'problem' they decided to finish the movie and take a nap. Kate was lying in Rick's arms with her head on his chest. That's how Johanna found them and she smiled. She had come up to tell them that she had started on dinner and ask them if they would like to help. She slowly walked over to the bed and called their names. Rick groaned and Kate felt it more than heared it. Kate opened her eyes and was met with Rick's sleep slack face and she smiled. That's when she felt someone staring and turned around, she was surprised to find her mom there just standing and smiling.
'Hey, Katie. Did you have a good nap?'
Kate smiled.
'Yeah, a really good one.'
She tried to get up but was pulled down by Rick's arms.
'Don't get up yet.'
Kate blushed and Johanna chuckled. When Rick heared the chuckle he opened his eyes. He saw a blushing Kate and smiled. That's untill he saw the shadow that was hanging over them. He looked up and blinked. Johanna was standing there with a raised eyebrow. He turned crimson red. He cleared his throat and smiled.
'Hey, Johanna.'
'Good nap?'
'Fantastic one.'
'I came up here to inform you that I started on dinner and to ask you if you wanted to help.'
'We would be happy to help, mom. Just let us freshen up a little and we'll come downstairs.'
'Allright, don't take too long to freshen up.'
With that Johanna left the blushing couple lying in bed. Rick turned to Kate and kissed her.
'This is the best nap I've ever had. You?'
'Same here.'
They both got up and walked towards the bathroom. When they had freshened up Kate looked at the mirror and met Rick's eyes. They both said the same thing at the same time:
'That was so embarrassing!'
They laughed.
'Let's get downstairs.'
They walked into the kitchen and asked Johanna what they could do. When they had finished their part they went to the living room. The were sitting hand in hand watching tv when a thought popped up in Kate's head.
'Rick, did you give your mom my address?'
'Uhhm, no.'
'Well how is she going to get here then?'
'I'll text her the address now.'
'Smart, my ass.'
'Hey! I heared that.'
'Good. Next time think a little harder.'
'Hey! I was distracted by my beautiful girlfriend. I can't do anything about that.'
Kate blushed and leaned over to give him a kiss.
Fortyfive minutes later the bell rang. Kate got up to open the door with Rick. When Kate opened the door she was greeted by a beautiful, red headed woman.
'You must be Martha, I'm Kate come on in.'
Kate closed the door and let Rick and Martha greet each other.
'Hello, mother.'
'Hello, Richard.'
Martha turned around and looked at Kate.
'You must be the Kate I've heared so much about.'
'That's me. Let's go sit down and meet my mom.'
Kate and Rick walked ahead of Martha, hand in hand and Martha smiled. Her son is lucky to have met her. When they walked into the living room they saw Johanna sitting reading a magazine.
'Hello, you must be Martha. Nice to meet you I'm Johanna.'
'You're correct and it's nice to meet you too.'
'Let's get settled at the table and start eating. I'm hungry.'
They all laughed and went to sit down.
Dinner was great, they laughed and talked a lot. Kate and Rick's feeling about their mothers getting along perfectly was right, they got along great! Martha and Johanna had become best friends and were now sitting on the couch talking. Kate and Rick were watching from the kitchen waiting to sneak out. They decided that now was the good time and put their jackets on. They opened the door and shut it carefully. They walked to the park where they met. They were now sitting on the bench next to the tree that marked their meeting spot.
'Remember when you ran in to me?'
'Of course, I will never forget that.'
'We were both so shocked.'
'Mmmh, we should do something to mark this spot as our spot. This may sound cliché, but can we carve our names in that tree?'
'Good idea, and clichés are always good no matter what. Lucky for you I have a pocket knife.'
She smiled and they both stood up. They walked to the tree and Rick started to carve his initials into the tree.
'Be careful, I don't want you to cut your hand.'
'Don't worry, I'm being careful.'
After he was done carving his initials, he started on Kate's. They walked back a bit to observe Rick's work and smiled.
'Now everyone will know that this is our tree.'
They kissed and walked back home. When they arrived they sneaked back in the house and walked into the living room.
'There you are Richard. We have to get home, I have a audition tomorrow.'
They got up and put their coats on. When it was time to say goodbye, Rick pulled kate in a hug and leaned in for a kiss. Kate kissed him back and they pulled apart. The two adults had been watching the couple with smiles on their faces.
'See you tomorrow, beautiful.'
'See you, handsome.'
With that they walked towards the cab that had been waiting for them. Kate shut the door after the cab was gone and bid her mom goodnight.
'Goodnight, mom.'
'Sweet dreams, honey.'
