-1It was about 3 in the morning when Patrick finally got home, he took a cab because he didn't trust him self enough to drive. He wasn't drunk but more then just buzzed. Free vodka tended to do that to you. Pete would probably stop buy later. (He was still at the club and when he went out and got drunk he always came to Patrick's instead of going back to his parents house.) He tossed his hat and t shirt on the couch, they were both socked with sweat. He stopped and hit the play button on the machine. I've been quite the popular fellow lately. He though to himself.
"Hey Patrick its cat, umm I'm not sure what time you'll be back from your little band thing but give me a call ok?"
Patrick picked up the phone dialed her number let it ring once and then hung up. Its to late she's in bed and if I call her now she's gonna think I'm a freak. The phone rang.
"Hello? Did you just call me?"
"Ya I did but I um its really late and-"
"Patrick hey how was your show thingy?"
"Um good so ah"
"Do you wanna come over?"
"Its late"
"O then maybe…"
"NO! I mean no…I mean its 3 and well I'm surprised your up"
"Ya insomniac, what a fun thing"
"why don't you come over to my place I'm really in no condition to drive"
"you don't sound drunk but I'll see you in like 15"
"ok buy"
Cat was there buy 3:30. That had given Patrick just enough time to change and shower.
"Do you always have a hat on?"
"Its kinda my thing"
"its cute"
"really?"
"ya."
Patrick looked at the floor. He had nothing to say, he was looking like an idiot. Cat put her hand under his chin and tipped his head up.
"Why don't you look me in the eyes?"
"I-um- I didn't-I'm so sorry"
"don't be sorry."
"ok sorry"
"Shut up and kiss me"
When Patrick kissed Cat he saw fireworks any cliché metaphor about love he had ever herd had just been proven true. Cat was rubbing her hand on his crotch. She paused and began to take off his shirt. Patrick naturally took a step back.
"shy?"
"self conscious."
"don't be she whispered"
"we don't know each other"
"I'm not asking for a ring Patrick, just one night."
Patrick though for a moment, one night just one night. I have to be confident and act like Pete would for just one night. He smiled at Cat took her buy the hand and lead her to his bed room and shut the door. It was just one night but god what a night it was.
Cat woke up to something being knocked over. She glanced around she had no clue where she was. Then she saw Patrick sleeping soundly next to her, and every thing came flooding back. She was happy to be there but at the same time scared of all the noise coming from the other room. Someone was in there.
"Patrick…Patrick…Patrick wake up" She shook him gently till he started to come around.
"huh wha what what is it."
"I hear some thing"
"Like what." He was already going back to sleep. Cat shook him once more.
"some one is out there I don't wanna be found dead in a strange guys apartment"
"okay I'll check it out." He rolled over and closed his eyes.
"Patrick!"
"ok, ok" Patrick swung his legs out of the bed and wrapped the comforter around his waist.
Patrick stumbled out of the bed room he was drunk from sleep. A dark clad figure stood in the kitchen at the refrigerator, a sick yellow light flooded the room.
"What are u doing?"
A very drunk Pete turned around. "Huh."
"what are you doing?"
"Food"
"o… get some sleep its 5."
"ahuh"
"and keep it down you woke me up"
"Sorry" Pete let out a series of high pitched giggles "are you naked?"
"huh?" Patrick glanced down he was still clutching the comforter around his waist. "Ya…be quiet"
"ok"
Patrick stumbled back into his room shut and locked the door. Pete was still drunk and there was no telling what weird thing he would do. Cat was sitting up in the bed her hair hung in a stringy mess. He couldn't help but stop and admire her perfectly breasts.
"well…"
"Pete's here" he mumbled walking back to the bed.
"Pete? Who's Pete?"
"He's Pete."
"Why is he here?" Cat laid her head on Patrick's chest and closed her eyes. She could here his heart beat… slow and steady. Patrick never answered he was already fast asleep with his arm around her. She sighed to her self and smiled then she closed her eyes and let the beat of Patrick's heart and the rhythm of his breathing send he to sleep.
